<v Speaker 2>Arms yet blid lifeline from.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Studio See Say see cs in York, a dimly lit

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Communications Compound.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Our trade is open, and today we are toiling under

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the title of the show.

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Teachers unions, past drug dealers in Damaging Kids. Wow or wait,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>just wait, that's second headline A bit mysterious.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I can see. I've spent the day reading.

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Various accounts and assessment of how the war with Iran

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 3>is going, and I've become acutely aware. And Jack, I'm

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 3>sure you've noticed this too. Everybody must every single day

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 3>predict how this ends and whether it's succeeded or failed.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's like the bottom of the second inning

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 3>of a baseball game, and it's no failure. This team's lost.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Get this game is over or this game this is

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 3>a glorious win for this team.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Glory, Oh my god, just.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Wait yeah, and then a grand scheme of things were

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>what six weeks It's a it's a blip.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Of history.

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 3>So when was the last time you heard somebody say

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 3>something like, you know, there are certainly some challenges right now,

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 3>but you've got to expect that it remains to be

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 3>seen how this works out.

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, we seem to make a living doing this.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But if somebody on a cable news channel they go

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>around the panel and anybody ever said, you know, it's

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>too early to tell, who knows?

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Would they just signs some bad signs? Would they just

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>send you home? I suppose they would.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 3>They would probably say, Jim, thanks for a year service

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 3>on the panel. But we've decided to go in different direction.

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>My favorite thing of the last twenty four hours we

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>talked about this some yesterday, is the whole Trump battle

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Pope.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>The atheist media, who doesn't care about religion at all

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and particularly.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Hates the Pope and Catholicism, all of a sudden, is

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>so concerned about the Pope's feelings.

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my lord, a president is disrespected Pope.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump says he will not apologize to the Pope.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't you don't like anybody who's religious. Who are

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>you trying the kid?

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>We're going live now to Janine Smith, the only Catholic.

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 3>We could find in the entire parent company that owns

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 3>this network for a comment.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Janine, all of a sudden, they're really really worried about that. Yeah,

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>it's so funny, the.

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump posting of him as Jesus healing people. Gotta admit

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that's an interesting story.

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Man. It is the President States putting out that. Make sure.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's another example of the media just completely

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 3>misinterpreting it. And it's not in a way that's terribly

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 3>charitable to Trump. I'm not a trumpy on this one,

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 3>but what.

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it What do you think they're misinterpreting well,

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that he was trying to pass himself off as a

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>christ Finger, and I agree with us of yesterday.

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump is such an atheist.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 3>He has no idea that that iconography is christ. He

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 3>just thought, oh, it was like a doctor healing a

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 3>guy or something. He's completely unfamiliar with virtually anything to

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 3>do with Christianity. He might struggle to come up with Jesus'

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>last name. Okay, that's why he put that out. It

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>wasn't you know he was passing himself off as Jesus.

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>That he didn't even know. I just listen on a

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>different topic.

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I was just looking up at a map of the

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Strait of Horror Moves, which are there ain't a lot

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of ships going through because of the blockade and whatnot.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I just listened to a former Secretary of Defense say

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it is he's a major tenant of the world order

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>for quite a few years, that shipping lanes need to

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>be open. Europe should be helping the United States keep

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>this straight open, regardless of anything else.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And that sounds pretty right, I would agree.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 3>And while resentment of Trump might legitimately cause them to

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>make a strong statement or drag their feet for a

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 3>little bit, to make a point to just not help

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 3>at all is bizarre.

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 2>What it is is they can't.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 3>They really lack the ability to project power, and so

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 3>they're hiding behind their dislike of Trump and the way

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 3>he went about to this conflict. And you know, it's

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 3>not like they have no point. But again, it's a

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>helpful excuse.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>The peace negotiations between and are in the United States,

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>which I was pretty skeptical that they even existed yesterday

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>apparently going on because everybody's reporting today that you don't

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>get to enrich you uranium. Iran saying they'll agree to

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>five years and we're saying, you got, it's got to

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>be twenty is the latest. But at least that's a negotiation.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you come up with a number in between,

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe we could live with that for a while.

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And I should have asked for this crew, and that's

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>on me. But Jadie Vance talked to Brett Bear last

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 3>night on Special Report and made it clear that, yeah,

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 3>we walked out of the negotiations kind of, but it

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 3>was it was when it became clear that the delegation

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 3>there didn't have the authority to come to a deal.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 3>They needed to go back to Tehran and consult with

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 3>their bosses before we moved forward. So yeah, we called

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 3>it off and they went back to Tehran. Now we're

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 3>going to make more progress. And you know, JD is

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 3>a skilled spinner. So I don't know how seriously to

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 3>take that description, but it seems perfectly reasonable to me.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 3>That happens in negotiations all the time, which is why

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.359
<v Speaker 3>you always want to make sure you're talking to the

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 3>guy who can make a deal, otherwise you're wasting your

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 3>time spinning your wheels.

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>But it's plausible.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, interesting, would that be a win if we agreed to.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's between five and fifteen that would

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>be agreed to. Eight, Say it's eight would be we

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>consider that a win.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're asking for twenty, so I deserve. I demand

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>at least twelve and a half.

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, as with the JCPOA, which was the Obama thing,

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>it's all about the inspections and whether or not you

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>can have anywhere, anytime inspections.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 2>And they didn't agree to that under.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>The JCPO if you can't show up anytime you want,

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>anywhere you want and inspect for you know, you building

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a nuclear weapon, it ain't no good.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>You're read in my mind.

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I was about to say, the agreement could be for

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 3>two minutes or seven hundred years, and it just doesn't

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 3>matter unless there's a verification regime in place.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot more on that. Start the official show, Now,

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>how about we do that. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Getty on this. It is Tuesday, April fourteenth, year, twenty

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. Where Armstrong and getting we approved of this program.

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, here we go.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 3>starts at mark.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm Chris buckin.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm about to drink the first vaccine beer the world

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 4>has ever seen.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I made this beer in my home.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Lab set up, and I'm hoping that eventually it will

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 4>be able to protect transplant patients against a horrible virus

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 4>called polyomavirus.

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just gonna have the first claff.

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Essentially to prove safety, at least in myself.

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>In an end of one self experiment, delightful vaccine beer?

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Can we come up with maybe anti beerotics or beer's

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 3>control pills? I mean, where why stop now? Beer vitamins?

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, what would that be? I'll have to work on

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>that one. Yeah.

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why the vaccine needs to be in beer.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>What's a the.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Well? People don't want to get jabbed. I understand that.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>But if you can drink the vaccine and work, you

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>would usually start with just a liquid you can drink,

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of medicine is like a coke or water,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>or just a juice, just any liquid you consume so

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you get the vaccine. Why it has to be an intoxicant,

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure. Vaccine jump a juice exactly? Yeah,

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>there are many options that aren't could get you drunk.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>If you wanted to. I guess you got a point.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Is this an odd place to fine?

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Tinker Bell, give me one of those beers, the vaccine beers.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I how much sleep did I get last night? Because

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I was uplate at the Springsteen concert, then had to

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>drive back from San Francisco, so I went to bed

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 1>at one thirty.

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I think, Uh.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I told my kids, this is real. This is a

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>real test of your maturity. Toughing it out something you

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>got to do in life. Stay up a little late,

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>tough it out, manage on a little sleep. See if

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you can do it.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Excellent pep talk.

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how that goes. All of us in the

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>car driving home, Mark ears ringing. Been a long time

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>since I'd been to a really big, loud, long rock concert,

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>mini years. I'd forgotten that feeling of you get in

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>your car and realize how deaf you are.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes the washy ring yes, yes, and you can wear

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 2>plugs for you.

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I did not wear plugs. Now, I didn't expect it

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to be that loud. It was quite loud.

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 2>My very responsible son wears air plugs. But that's the

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>way he had of everything.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, you forgot to task basketball Arina Baseball Stadium, concert

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 3>hall where the Golden State Warriors player believe the Chase

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Center and there was not an empty seat and nobody

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 3>sat the entire concert.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>But I'll talk more about that later.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 1>We got headlines on the way and lots of news

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to get to stay with us. A lot of Hokahs

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd at the Springsteen concert, a lot of Hocus,

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>A lot of comfortable grown up footwear.

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>On cloud very very hot too.

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>That's my branded choice, mostly Hocus, Yes, yeah, yeah, okay,

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>so much to get to.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Why don't we get to it.

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Let's figure out who's reporting what it's the leak story

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 3>with Katie Green Katie.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Already, let's start with the alphabet networks. ABC US proposes

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty year minimum suspension on iranium uranium enrichment CNN USI's

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 4>potential second round of talks with Iran as blockade takes

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 4>hold an NBC China says Trump blockade is quote dangerous

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 4>as Iran linked ships transit the Straits of Ormuz.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why Iran wouldn't just agree to again

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and then cheat.

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what they've always done.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't I haven't heard anybody explain that because that's

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>what they've always done, wild with sudden, really saying.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Out loud, acting like their word is their bond.

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if Trump and Cump have made it clear

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 3>that there is going to be a serious, serious inspection

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 3>regime and the high jinks of the past are a

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 3>no go and if you even try it will bomb.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>But Jesus is out you again.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 3>It's still I'm sorry. I was listening to myself as

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I spoke. I would still do what you suggested. So yeah,

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 3>we get it, we get it, okay, okay, and then

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 3>day by day say hey, that that was too much.

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>You got to push back a little bit and just

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 2>work it like they always have.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>If you you probably don't remember this. The way Iran

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>got around the inspections with the JCPO that OA, that

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>was Obama's agreement with Ran. I have to talk about

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that later because I didn't remember the details. It's really

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>quite amazing that we let Iran get away with it.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's just to shorten it, call it the no Bama agreement. No,

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>all right, I liked it, Joe, thank you.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 4>From the New York Times, Van says Pope should stay

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 4>out of US.

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Affairs, but Pope lap. I agree with the pope. Shut up,

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>just shut up. Can you say shut up to.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 2>A pope or you probably not supposed to say that

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you can.

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I would listen to you talk about the Bible in

0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Jesus all day long, wrapped with attention, mister pope.

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 2>He started getting into foreign policy. I just have no

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>time for you.

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Or if you want to say, of course, you know,

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.479
<v Speaker 3>people who walk with Christ.

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yearn for peace, we hope peace is restored. That's own.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.839
<v Speaker 2>It's perfectly fine. In general, you prefer peace to war.

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I get it right.

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 4>From the Wall Street Journal, how an image depicting Trump

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 4>as Christ sparked backlash on the religious right.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 2>He's beefing with Riley Gaines.

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Now. I was told that even people that generally support

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>everything Trump does didn't like that.

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the list of folks who spoke out in that

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 3>journal article was long and impressive.

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, I don't think anybody.

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Will be talking about this in a week or tomorrow,

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 3>which is I'm sorry, I'm bad at this job.

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 2>You gotta have a hot take.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 3>You gotta pretend that every single thing that happens is

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 3>the most important thing that's ever happened, and you're personally

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 3>outraged by it one way or the other.

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Flip a coin.

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>What's a hell of a nutty thing to do? Ohe

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>to Liberty and bald.

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Eagles from USA Today, Eric Swallwell's exit helps Democrats in

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 4>California governor's race.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's why it happened. He's been this guy. All

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>these things happened many years ago. Everybody knew it. It

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>happened to get him out.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Of the race.

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>How does everybody not understand what is going on here?

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It's so dopey.

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 3>My favorite comment was from Brit Hume, who said, I'll

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 3>give this to the Democrats when they need to get

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 3>somebody out of the way. They are disciplined and they

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 3>do it. Yeah, Bernie, Hillary Biden now swallowell knife right

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 3>in the back.

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 4>From the New York Post, Meta is building a creepy

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:58.079
<v Speaker 4>AI clone of Mark Zuckerberg, who chats with staff.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 2>The chinnl is creepy. The real deal is creepy. Yeah,

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>all right. Here's a fun one from the Washington Post.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 4>World's oldest gorilla, known for her quote dignified manner, turns

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 4>sixty nine.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 3>When you threw her poohs with her pinky in the air,

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 3>very dignified.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Here's sixty nine sixty nine. Now here's the story. Legend

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 4>has it that fatteau or fattoo. I don't know how

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 4>they pronounce her name.

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 2>No woman wants to be called fatto. I know girls

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 2>on in years Dick's big boned. Yeah, she's just fluffy.

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 4>A western Lowland gorilla was brought from Africa to the

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 4>port of France in the late nineteen fifties by a

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 4>sailor who traded her in to settle a bar bill.

0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough, I'd rather have the thirty bucks, but I'll

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 3>take a gorilla.

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Sense, Okay.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:11.479
<v Speaker 4>Study fines AI disease prediction may catch illnesses before symptoms

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 4>even start.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's true.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what queens about AI are true, but

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope that was true.

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, go ahead.

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Well they're saying that things happen before you get sick

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 4>on like a molecular level that humans can't detect, and

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 4>that apparently AI is really.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Good at seeing these things.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 3>So you got to bring that story to us in

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 3>full heater on love to hear it. Getting back to

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 3>the gorilla briefly, scientists are reporting now there is a

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 3>civil war going on among chimps in Africa. There's a

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 3>giant civil war afoot.

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear about that. Yeah, all right.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Finally the babylon b blasphemy Pope Leo shares Ai picture

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 4>depicting himself as Donald Trump.

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Ah, who had the headline that Eric Swollwell leaving the

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>race changes things for the Democratic who had that headline

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>USA today?

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? You idiots, So you're.

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Acting like, well, here's an interesting byproduct of Eric Swollwell's

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>uh eruption bimbo eruption over the weekend now clears the

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>way further. Yeah that's what you got it wrong, you morons.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>No, that was the point, that's why they did it.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>What Yeah, they really thought they were doing something with

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>that headline.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Death of husband may clear the way from murderous boyfriend.

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's what we weren't doing.

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah wow, well, okay, the drive by media is the

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>great russel impo put it. So the thing with the

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>AI picking up the diseases early, which I've heard a

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>lot and I believe could be true.

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>But do you have to get like blood.

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Tests weekly or or something like that for it to

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>be able to pick up on all this stuff?

0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Because if they got data from your body. I don't

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>know how can do it.

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know how good are the scanning devices

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 3>these days, your or rings and Apple's watch and I

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 3>don't even know m Yeah, So we'll get that stro

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 3>all those.

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll kind of get you the details on and a

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of the news today.

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I hope you can stay here.

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>If you miss the segment, get the podcast Armstrong and

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Getty on demand.

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more war with Iran a little bit later

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and try to figure out what is going on. Nobody

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>seems to know us. Look at it. This is pretty

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>much exactly what you said earlier. Mark Halpern's newsletter today

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 1>was one thousand monkeys looking through one thousand glasses darkly.

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.719
<v Speaker 1>In other words, nobody has any idea what's going on

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>right now at all. Nobody has any idea the involvement

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 1>China has right now. There's lots swirling around there, how

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>the blockade is going, is kind of a dark spot,

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and all kinds of other stuff. But MBS is pressuring

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump apparently to open the straight back up to end

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the blockade, having pressured Trump over the weekend to not

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 1>end the war, so he wants something in between.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Apparently, yeah, that's opening up this straight is the point

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 3>of closing the strait.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>But we'll talk about that in a little bit. Can't wait.

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I completely agree.

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 3>They are behind the scenes, highest level, superpower level negotiations

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 3>going on. Influence and strength beaning pulse, so super interesting.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 3>So in the show introduction I went with one of

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the titles was teachers Union's past drug dealers and damaging kids.

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I realized that's a strong statement and certainly not addressed

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 3>to individual teachers who I treasure, including friends and family.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:52.359
<v Speaker 3>The LA schools, which are an absolute disaster. Big news

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 3>from them, as the journal editorial board leads their coverage.

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.160
<v Speaker 3>When government rewards failure, the result is usually more failure.

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 3>That's been the story in Los Angeles with a teachers'

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.360
<v Speaker 3>union on Sunday secured a rich new contract notwithstanding lousy

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 3>student performance and declining enrollment. It's so bad some of

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 3>these numbers.

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>We have lost control of this thing that is public

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>education that we apparently forgot we're in charge of. It's

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a public school, we get to vote on all this.

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>We're supposed to be in charge, and somehow they decided they're.

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 3>In charge government schools are a giant slush fund slash

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:38.959
<v Speaker 3>political jobs program to wit. LA Unified School District's new

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 3>collective bargaining agreement with the United Teachers Los Angeles Union

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 3>increases salary scales by eleven and a half plus percent

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 3>over two years, double the rate of inflation, plus four

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 3>weeks of paid print leave, expanded student sports services that

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 3>will invariably require more hiring. Pay for new teachers will

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 3>jump nearly twelve percent to seventy seven thousand dollars a year.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Very expensive to live in the LA area.

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not judging that will hold off on our judgments,

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 3>at least I will from of the moment. The agreement

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 3>comes after the district warned two months ago that a

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 3>looming eight hundred and seventy seven million dollar deficit could

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 3>require thousands of layoffs. That was before the raises, said

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 3>the superintendent. At some point we reach a breaking point.

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Increasing costs for retirement benefits, a post pandemic hiring binge,

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:30.439
<v Speaker 3>and declining student enrollments are squeezing the district's finances. State

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 3>spending per pupil has soared in recent years to twenty

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 3>seven and a half thousand dollars a year per student,

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 3>meaning if you just had a teacher and the students granted,

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, you'd have to drag your own chair to

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 3>school or whatever.

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I imagine the scenario.

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we want more than that, but if it was

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 3>just a teacher and a student that twenty seven grand

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 3>a year per person, you'd only need really like three

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 3>students maybe four, and you could have a great class

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 3>with a highly paid teacher. Anyway, but it hasn't benefited

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 3>as much as other districts because it's enrollment is shrunk

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 3>by nearly a quarter since twenty nineteen. By nearly a quarter.

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 3>Families moved away during the pandemic when schools were closed

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 3>at the behest of the unions, and the flight has

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 3>continued owing to LA's crappy schools, high cost of living, taxes,

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 3>and crime.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Here's my favorite stat.

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 3>The federal pandemic largest helped paper over the district's budget

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 3>problems for time.

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>And super charre tiring.

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Here's the superintendent again, and I quote, we still have

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 3>a workforce that is larger than when the district had

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 3>forty percent more students than we have today.

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>WHOA, it's shrunk that much. I'll give you a moment.

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:52.919
<v Speaker 3>They have more employees than when they had forty percent more.

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Students, and I'm guessing the results were all so better

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>in terms of kid that could read and write.

0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah, much better. Yeah.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Meantime, the district and state are required to make payments

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 3>sequel to thirty percent of teachers salaries for the pensions.

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Teachers can retire at age sixty three with a pension

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 3>worth six eighty five percent of their final pay, plus

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 3>free health benefits for light weeks. Should It's so clever

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.679
<v Speaker 3>of them to have pretended, because this is what it

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 3>feels like as a kid.

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.880
<v Speaker 1>You go to school, there are teachers. Maybe you think

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>about the principle.

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>And they convinced this that that all discussions about money

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>for schools is about teachers, leaving out the fact that

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>there are gazillions of people doing the other stuff. Who

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the knows what the hell it is that suck up

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 1>all that money, and then many many union employees in

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it. All right, final numbers the National

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Assessment of Educational Progress nationwide, twenty seven percent of our

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>kids are proficient in math.

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a miserable failure, but it's.

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Way better than LA Jack, where the number is eighteen percent.

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Eighteen percent proficiency. It's such a simple sentence. I can't

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>believe that this isn't got more power behind it in

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of running for office or whatever. We're spending more

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>than we ever have adjusted for inflation and getting less.

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The end worse results.

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it keeps going that direction. The trend line

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is further more money less results, more money less results.

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't give me your teachers need more money. I wish

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I could use the word because it is complete full less. Yeah,

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, and it works on people. Well,

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>teachers they try so hard.

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 3>They know.

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>We're not talking about the teachers. We're talking about layers

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and layers of middle management who knows what the hell

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>they do other than use money.

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Final note on the test scores eighteen percent proficient math

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:52.159
<v Speaker 3>in LA. I tip my imaginary cap to the journal

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 3>editorial board. Their final line of the editorial is, then again,

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 3>the district's catawampus finances suggest as.

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Leaders are no better at math. You no kidding? And

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>I would also add so disappointing and depressing.

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I know, it's well, it should make people angry,

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 3>which is not you know, what we intend to do.

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, sorry, thanks for listening.

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>And the teachers' unions who get I don't know. I've

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>said this for years now. Honest to God, don't know

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 1>how they sleep at night. How have you convinced yourself

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.399
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing something good for the world, or that

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you're even break even.

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're evil. You are evil people. What you're

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>doing to these kids.

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And you get up there and you make these claims

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>about specifically, you know, the downtroden, the black and brown

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>kids who come from poor income families.

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 2>They're the ones getting screwed the most. The people you

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 2>claim you care the most.

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 1>About are the ones that absolutely are getting screwed because

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>families that have more resources have figured out that the

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>school doesn't teach them anything and has had to you know,

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.719
<v Speaker 1>go with sums are either private school or hiring tutors

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>or whatever bypass your piece of crap to get their

0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 1>kid educated.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 2>You're screwing the downtrodden. And you go out there and

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>you ask for more money. You were evil people.

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 3>We'll see and I'm gonna say the same thing I

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 3>always say when we have this discussion. Yes, you haven't

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 3>known enough evil people.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 2>In your life. That's precisely correct. They're evil.

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 3>They sleep at night like babies, they're fine, they're great,

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:20.640
<v Speaker 3>they get up with a smile on their face.

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>They're evil. Evil exists in the world.

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Second thing is we haven't even gotten to the awful,

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 3>awful stew of progressive policies that have hollowed out the

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 3>classrooms and rendered the kids unteachable, which comes straight from

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 3>not only the teachers' unions, but the colleges of education

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 3>that have been at the forefront of critical theory and postmodernism,

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 3>the neo Marxism I'm always talking about. I mean, they're

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 3>absolutely the leaders in this stuff. And so you combine

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.920
<v Speaker 3>those two things, and I'm telling you, well, you were Jack.

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.479
<v Speaker 3>It was when you were out with your boys visiting

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Family's happened when.

0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely save it for when you're there's a lot

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:01.159
<v Speaker 2>of us despite you.

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Actually I have it right here. I could forward

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 3>it to you, Jack, if you want to read it.

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 3>We got we got a number of great emails from

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 3>teachers after our discussion of this last week, including one

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 3>absolute two and a half page blockbuster, and the one

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 3>teacher a great email said, I think it can still

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 3>be saved. Maybe I disagree because the good people are

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 3>so beaten down they don't dare speak out anymore.

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>You'd have to start over, you know. Elon this is

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 1>a different topic. But Elon had an interesting post the

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>other day about how did we ever decide that everybody

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:44.439
<v Speaker 1>at the same age should be in a grade and

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 1>learn the same stuff? Who decided that? And why do

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 1>we stick with it? As opposed to everybody matures at

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a rate. Everybody's at a different place on different subjects.

0:26:55.400 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't each subject, like like in the math school,

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I might have been level you know, don't make a

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 1>grade or attach age to itever I might been level sixteen.

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>But on the other stuff, something else, like a language.

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>I never had to take a foreign language, but if

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I had, I'd have been awful at it. On that one,

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm at like a four, So I'm in with the

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.439
<v Speaker 1>people that are the fours, and in the math I'm

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in this one. And why don't you break it down

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that way as opposed to everybody in the same based

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on age.

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It's nuts, It really is. If you think about it.

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.360
<v Speaker 3>And I'm hearing a couple of objections burble up, and

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, for instance, the social problem you're an eighth

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 3>grader essentially, or the equivalent year in a class.

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 2>With the fourth I'm in, max On how far apart

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:35.920
<v Speaker 2>you are? Sure?

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 3>And ors, but again give me, let's see five seconds

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.959
<v Speaker 3>to think about it. Number one, to avoid the social

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 3>embarrassment of certain kids, you could have catch up programs

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 3>specifically for older kids who need to catch up to

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 3>preserve their dignity.

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>No problem.

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Secondly, maybe the first day of every single school year,

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 3>you re explain to all the kids the teaching philosophy that, look,

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 3>we want to meet you where you are and help

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 3>you and as fast as you can succording to your

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:03.399
<v Speaker 3>interest in your abilities.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 2>No problem.

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you present it that way. I think culturally we'd

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:07.919
<v Speaker 1>all get used to it.

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:11.719
<v Speaker 2>That's true. Yeah, compared to the status quo. Right.

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Ugh. As Elon said, you got people in classes and

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I know this is true. It was true, and I

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>was a good it's true.

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 2>In my kids.

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Classes, you got people that are so advanced in whichever

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>class you're in, they're bored to death.

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 2>And then you got the kids that are so far behind.

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>They're just sitting there staring at the wall because they're

0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>so far behind, they don't even know what you're talking.

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 2>About, right, Say what is the point? Right? That is

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 2>so smart?

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm reminded of our oft times discussion of the

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 3>US tax code. People present like reforms or changes or something.

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's like, oh no, that might have a downside. I've

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 3>heard that has a downside. It's just like the current

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 3>education system. If you were to propose the current reality,

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 3>they would put you in a mental institution. They would think,

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, this person's dangerously insane to present like

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>our current tax system is a good or our current

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 3>education system, and yet people act like any sort of

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 3>change is a threat.

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I throw up my hands. I'll be on the golf

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 2>course if you need me.

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And to the social stigma of you know, being held

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>back or whatever, how is that.

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Better or we're.

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Depending on how you look at it better or worse.

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>How is that something we should be more concerned about.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Then you get out of school and don't have the

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>ability to succeed in life. Oh you want to talk

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 1>about social stigma. You're now eighteen years old and you

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>can't read or do anything else, and you're supposed to

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>find a job. I think that's going to be way

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>more painful than if you had to redo fourth grade.

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 3>And you know my final argument, and you know I

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 3>was always I've always I still love learning, and I

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 3>still uh I love learning and curious about everything. But

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 3>you're denying those kids who are behind that. Ah wait,

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 3>I get it moment, even if it comes a year

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 3>or two behind the kids who were exceptionally good at it.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 3>To deny them, that is utterly cruel. To protect your union,

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 3>your job, and your pay. I just despise it. I

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 3>hate you, that's hate speed.

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Is there anybody in.

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>The teachers unions who's not evil? Do they fight like?

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it like a split? Are they fighting the fighting

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the other people in the teachers union? Or do they

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>get run out? Or you think you have the evil

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and the beat down? Those are the two constituencies.

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I knew a guy who was in charge of he

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was high up in the teachers union in a different state.

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>He was alway talking about public educacy. I'm a big

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>public education guy. Never got into the argument with him.

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I wish I would have, just, you know, hopefully in

0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a I don't know if I could stay friendly. I

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>have such a strong obinion on it. Tear the whole

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>thing down. You got to start over it's a disaster,

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>absolute disaster, and the kids.

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Are the victims. How do you not get that?

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:55.239
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 2>We got mail bag.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Mail bag is next, broadcasters, I'm going to narrow cast briefly.

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>This is to Jensen's parents. I know you listen every

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>single day. Jensen's dad, Tell your daughter put pressure on

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>her to get regular flavored coffee because she's only by.

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>All we have left is coconut mocha and I can't drink.

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, you're taking this to her parents. I'm taking

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking it to her.

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Dad, Sara Lan. Not just one flavor coconut mocha. It's

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>awful and that's all. We got boxes and boxes of it,

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 1>but no regular coffee, and she orders supplies. Good lord,

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>here are your freedom loving quotes.

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Of the day on the topic of war.

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 1>You feel like that was out a line going over

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>her head to her dad. Okay, I don't have to

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>think about that controversial. Yeah, this from George S. Patten,

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>A pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood.

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty good. And then this from George Washington. Perhaps

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 3>you've heard.

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Of them, The Light Great George Washington.

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 3>My first wish is to see this plague of man

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 3>kind war banished from the earth. Yeah, if only, George,

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 3>if only mail bag drops a note Mailbag at Armstrong

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 3>and Getty dot com. Sergio writes, Dear Sirs, I'm writing

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 3>to express my disappointment regarding a recent segment of your program.

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been a listener for a while.

0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 3>And I've always respected your perspective, but your recent commentary

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 3>regarding Trump's post where he looks like a biblical figure

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 3>has changed my opinion of your show. To me, it

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 3>sounded like excuses were being made, similar to the rhetoric

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 3>I hear from the other side of the political spectrum.

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm truly saddened by the shift and tone inconsistent with

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 3>the quality.

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. Sergio.

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 3>My excuse was he's an atheist who pretends to be

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:41.520
<v Speaker 3>a Christian and knows nothing about it.

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 2>If that strikes you as too soft, I'm sorry.

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>What's interesting is this owner if this was the same

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 1>person or a different person we got this text twenty

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:53.480
<v Speaker 1>one year plus listener, this sucks. This past year has

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>been like finding out my two cool gay dads are

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 1>now a holes and are in love with the same

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>man Trump.

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Wait, okay on on what topic. Look, yeah, there's no

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 2>there's absolutely no please in.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Everybody apparently not. But I would like to know on

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>what topic after twenty one years we were too pro

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump yesterday? And what topic? The Yeah, I don't think

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:26.719
<v Speaker 1>we could have been more dismissive of the Jesus.

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Thing he put out. I said it was horrifying and blasphemous.

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Do me a fair ghost, write me what I should

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 3>have said. If horrifying, blasphemous and an atheist pretending to

0:33:38.760 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 3>respect Christianity isn't strong enough for you, which shall I haul.

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Myself up on the cross for you?

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Sergio, I don't know what you're looking for, oh lord.

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 3>And then this meme, and there are plenty of them.

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Here's a Halloween costume, a bearded man in the white

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 3>and the red sash and the rest of it, and

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 3>it's labeled doctor.

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 2>It's clearly a Jesus costume. Oh boy, Yeah, that's some

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 2>good stuff.

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 3>We belong to a different topic, specifically, scumbag Swallwell, Ricky writes,

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 3>good morning, JEMs. I thought this might be a good

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 3>headline for the Babylon b Democrats find their moral compass.

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.280
<v Speaker 3>His course heading brings them dangerously close to a Republican

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 3>victory in California governor's race.

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly right.

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Please, he could rape the woman in his congressional office

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 3>with the door open. They wouldn't have said anything, except

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 3>now he's kind of interfering with their chosen union Lackey

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 3>getting elected, so all of a sudden they find their

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:35.720
<v Speaker 3>moral outrage.

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 2>It's hilarious.

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I should lay out my theory on Trump running as

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 1>a Republican. I don't know, never have fully laid it out.

0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I've believed it since one I've never said it because,

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>oh really no, not out on the air.

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, we're running out of time.

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.479
<v Speaker 3>Got a lot of great stuff, But a similar note

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of true of the millennial rights. There are likely

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 3>many people in your audience who once defended Matt Gates

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 3>but hated Eric Swalwell and vice versa. Why would any

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 3>of these people be willing to explain the difference between

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:05.400
<v Speaker 3>these two guys. That can't be done. They're the exact

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 3>same person, So why would you like the one but.

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Hate the other? To be fair, I maybe I just

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard it yet.

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I've heard anything that is even

0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>close to Matt Gates level that Eric Swalwell did. He

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:19.919
<v Speaker 1>drank with a bunch of chicks who weren't his wife,

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:21.440
