1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Gatty, and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: They will just either tell me to stay in a

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: corner and slee or just draw up his shures flowers

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: for them.

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 4: That is a former Connecticut high school student Suinger School

8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 4: District because she graduated without being taught how to read

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 4: and write. And this might be the only way to

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 4: fix this problem in the United States of.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: America is it's currently constituted.

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: It seems the only way you can get anywhere is

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: if somebody's afraid of getting sued. That's pretty much the

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: only leverage you have. And if schools had to be

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: afraid of getting sued for gazillions of dollars because hey,

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: you graduate way to a kid who can't read or write,

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: that might be the only way to hold them to

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: some standards.

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: Wow, that is some harsh justice, But I like the idea.

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: There are a small handful of cases like this around

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: the country that I've read about.

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: How does it not happen more?

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: Something has to change. It reminds me of people who

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: are complaining about doge moving too fast, and this poor

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: person had to leave their their job with a box

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and they don't know where to live, and I do

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: sympathize with them on a human level, but there is

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: zero chance that we can reform our utterly diseased education

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: systems without cracking a few eggs to make the omelet

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to use the torture cliche. If you did not hear

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: our previous discussion about the state of schooling and immigration

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: the rest of it at last Hour Gravit Vire podcast

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand.

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: You probably gotta subscribe anyway.

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: A couple of things to clean up, then we'll begin

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Bengo bango bonga.

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: One more sentence with a head of steam about that topic.

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: Oh, go ahead. How freaking evil is it.

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: To graduate a kid who can't read or write and

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: send him out into the world.

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that is flat out evil.

42
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: And how many adults who have, in theory dedicated their

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: lives to education knew that kid couldn't read or write

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: for so many years before they send him out into

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: the world where they've got no chance.

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: I mean that is flat evil. And that young lady is.

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: A representative of hundreds of thousands of millions of kids

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: like that, especially in urban schools, who they don't even

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: try to teach anyway. It's a huge problem. Not insurmountable,

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: but huge. Couple of things. The UH medication that I

51
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: recommend to Jack that actually works if you have cold

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: flew that sort of thing musin X, thank you to

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: my dear wife.

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Text. Okay, I've seen that on the aisle. Get some

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: of that today.

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: You can get it with or without a cough suppressant.

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I always take it to sleep and for the show

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: with a cough suppressant twelve hours.

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: It actually works and it fings your secretions. You say,

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's thin as a supermodel. Yep, yeah, fabulous

61
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: like a stratus. We get anyway by that today. So

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: a little bingo bango bango. Oh.

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: First of all, let's hold, let's hear from Donald Trump Junior. First, Hanson,

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: thank you.

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: The administration now is functioning so effectively and so efficiently

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 5: that by the time the liberal media gets their narrative

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: talking points in line, the administration is three or four

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: issues down the road. They can never catch up. It's

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: glorious to watch, and they continue to self disrupt, you know,

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: they continue to run the same playbook at me. Yesterday,

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 5: I was pro Russia. You know the usual, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia.

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Here we go again. It's like take twelve.

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: So Don Junior is they're discussing the deep fake video

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: that came out of him saying we should be Russia's

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: ally and send them arms. It was AI generated, which

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: is I mean, the particulars of the story, you're interesting,

77
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: But the fact that we are now officially in that era,

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: we're utterly convincing AI generated faker is everywhere. Yike's good

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: luck to all of us. Anyway, I thought this was delightful.

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: After President Trump won in November, the Democratic National Committee

81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: launched a rapid response social media account called fact post

82
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: to combat online misinformation. That's a quote, they're fact checkers,

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Jack Well. On Wednesday, the account published the fabricated audio

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the deep fact of Don Junior calling on the United

85
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: States star and Russia, et cetera, et cetera, retweeted it

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and spread it around until it became utterly clear it

87
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: was fake, and then they took it down again. But yes,

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the great DNC fact checkers that exist to combat online

89
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: misinformation were spreading the video as fast as they could.

90
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's tough though.

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: To blame them for falling for that. I mean sure

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: sounded real.

93
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but if you exist to battle online disinformation,

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: what are your standards for what you publish?

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: That's why you had one job moving along. This is exciting.

96
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Pete Hegsa's one of his top priorities at the Pentagon

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: in his very very early days doing the job is

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: seeking out exciting new startups and industries that are ushering

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: in the future of warfare, de emphasizing, or at least

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: not just by sheer force of habit. Going with the

101
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: big giant companies in their big giant weapons systems, they

102
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: are actively searching out and funding new exciting high tech

103
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: weapons systems.

104
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: God.

105
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: I was listening to a podcast yesterday. It had some

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: former Special Forces guy they're interviewing talking about how the

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: war in Ukraine has changed everything and the next big

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 4: war people will realize that who haven't been paying attention,

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: But it was around these small drones and how cheaply

110
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 4: and quickly you can put together an almost unstoppable attack.

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: He said, this is as big a change. This has

112
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: got to be hyperbole, But if it's even close it's amazing.

113
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: He said, this is a bigger change in warfare since

114
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: Genghis Khan put stirrups on horses and was able to

115
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: roam over the landscape in a way that nobody could

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: stop them. It's just it's so different than anything that's

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: ever happened before. So again, I think that's probably hyperbole,

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: but if it's even close.

119
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: Then holy crap. And I hope we're.

120
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: Coming up with ways to stop bad guys from doing

121
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: it to us and getting really good at being the

122
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: guys who do it to other people.

123
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Right, And whether Pete Hegseath ends up being a really

124
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: good Department of Defense leader or not, the jury is

125
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: still out.

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: But the spirit of the old boy backslapping, we've done

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: this for fifty years, so we're gonna keep doing it.

129
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: That vibe is definitely out, and I think it's a

130
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: sign of perhaps really really good stuff ahead. Speaking of

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: drones and technology, a secret US drone program helped capture

132
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: several Mexican cartel bosses. Intelligence provided by the unarmed drones

133
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: was essential the rest of l Chapo, one of his sons,

134
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: and other top drug smugglers. So evidently we haven't been

135
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: completely derelict in developing these technologies and are using them

136
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: to our advantage, including in Mexico, which is really really cool.

137
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: A little more stories that do not a lot of analysis,

138
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: but you ought to know them and we think you'll

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: find them interesting in a moment after a cocord from

140
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: our friends. It's simply Safe home security thanks in part

Speaker 1: street and refused to criminalize crime. Every twenty six seconds

145
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: You know, the devil's in the details, and the proof

146
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320

147
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,000

Speaker 4: No questions, ask refund if you decide you don't like

150
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 4: the thing. I mean to me that is the proof

151
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: is in the pudding. They believe it's Simply Safe that

152
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: you'll like the product and keep using it. You don't

00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: And the products is amazing.

155

Speaker 1: pro monitors take a look at your property, They watch it,

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: they detect suspicious activity. They can talk to the scumbag,

159
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,480

165
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: they finally captured a couple of North Koreans fighting for Russia,

166
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and they're in a state that they can actually be interviewed,

167
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: and it is exactly as we thought.

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: They were whisked away from North Korea.

169
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes some of them were told, yes, the South Korean

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: devils are aiding the evil Ukraine, and we've got to

171
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: go defeat urar rivals, the South Koreans. And they didn't

172
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: know where they were going or what they were doing.

173
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they're in Ukraine, given a day

174
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: or two of training, then sent to get mowed down

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: by machine guns or drones or artillery.

176
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that article and.

177
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: They I think it was the New York times a

178
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago about the Russians they're grabbing out

179
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: of prisons and whatnot. Youngsters too. Sometimes they're dead within

180
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes of arriving at the front.

181
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just you're here. Run that way, but they're

182
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: shooting at us.

183
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: Run that way, or I'm shooting you now right dead

184
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes after you got there.

185
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: Jeez, that's horrible.

186
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: They were instructed to evade capture at all costs by

187
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: blowing themselves up if they had to, a message reinforced

188
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: by North Korean's secret police, who were there on the

189
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: ground making sure they are obe. They would read them

190
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: letters from Kim Jong un and make them transcribe them

191
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: by hand. One of the key lines in Fatthead's letter,

192
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: who as soon to be cannon fodder troops, was I

193
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: really miss you, comrades. He sat there swinging brandy in

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: his palace. I'm sure he did. Oh, this may be

195
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: my favorite story of the day. How predictable is this?

196
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I love this headline Credit to the Free Beacon Journalists

197
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: outraged after WAPO owner endorses freedom. AH Post employees are

198
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: shocked and stunned.

199
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: You may remember we told.

200
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: You about this Jeff Bezos wrote, essentially, we will write

201
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: every day in support in defense of two pillars, personal

202
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: liberties and free markets. I am of American for American,

203
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: proud to be so. Our country did not get here

204
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: by being typical. And a big part of America's success

205
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.

206
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: And if you're not on board, go right.

207
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: If you want to write some thing that is against

208
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: personal freedom and economic freedom, do it somewhere else.

209
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: Right, And he said to his highly respected opinions editor,

210
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: if the answer isn't hell, yes, it's no. I have

211
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: a great deal of respect for you, but you need

212
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: to go well, sure enough, Shipley's the guy's name, he went.

213
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Stein, an economics reporter at the Post, slammed Bezos's

214
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: pro freedom remarks as a massive encroachment on the opinion

215
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: section that made clear dissenting views will not be published

216
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: or tolerated.

217
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: There ye have views against freedom?

218
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: No.

219
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Philip Bump, one of several openly democratic columnists at the Post,

220
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: said what the actual f on Blue Sky, the social

221
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: media for obnoxious liberals, Quoting Andrew Styles in The Beacon,

222
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Kara Switcher Swisher, liberal tech journalist said it was utterly shameless.

223
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Bezos is an adult toddler who had killed the First

224
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense,

225
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: saying I love American We're all about freedom here. That's

226
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: a vomitous spew of nonsense.

227
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: So I would say, those of you on that end

228
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: of the spectrum way over there, keep fighting for big

229
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: government and making sure government workers can't get fired. Keep

230
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: fighting for the Washington Post should bad mouth personal freedom

231
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: and the free markets and see where they get you.

232
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Some of their columnists, Karen Atilla, who had described the

233
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: October seventh attacks on Israel's decolonization, called bezos statement an

234
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: absolute stab in the back and an insult to those

235
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: of us who have literally put our careers and lives

236
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: on the line to call out threats to human rights

237
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: and democracy.

238
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: You put your life on the line, please.

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: Their definition of democracy is the opposite of democracy. And

240
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: then finally, Edward Loose, calumnists for the Financial Times, slammed

241
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: to Bezos at centa. Oh sorry, this is Amanda Cats,

242
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: who resigned from the Post opinion section in December.

243
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: Rip he wapo.

244
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: She wrote of Bezos championing freedom an absolute abandonment of

245
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights,

246
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor

247
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: of a white male billionaire's self interested agenda. All right,

248
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: keep scratching, keep yelling, keep demonstrating in favor of government bloat.

249
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: We'll see at the ballot box a lot of.

250
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: Textures coming out in favor of musin X, which you suggested.

251
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna door dash some right now, we got

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: more on the way. Stay here. Imagine hopping in your car,

253
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: starting the ignition and taping flight.

254
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 7: Alfaironautics produced this prototype that can both hit the roads

255
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 7: and soar in the skies. A flying car dubbed Model

256
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 7: zero hovered over the road in California in a test

257
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 7: driver maybe we say test flight.

258
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: Not sure on that one.

259
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 7: In the company CEO, this could create a new market

260
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 7: in transportation.

261
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: Okay, so they tested out a flying car.

262
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the video. Has anybody seen the videos?

263
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: It look more promising than any of the flying cars

264
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: that we've seen in the past. It's it still doesn't answer,

265
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: you know, the big questions with flying cars. I mean,

266
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 4: I just I don't know how you would have any

267
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 4: rules for who's got them?

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: Where do you get to fly them? All that sort

269
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: of stuff.

270
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 8: Yes, Katie, I saw the video and this thing needs

271
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 8: a lot of work. Looks like a Tonka toy.

272
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: In the FAA, which can't keep jets from crashing into

273
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: each other, is going to manage you know, a thousand

274
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: numb skulls driving quote unquote fire flying cars around LA

275
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: for instance.

276
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: I don't say a thousand, how about a half a million?

277
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 8: People can't properly operate vehicles on the on the ground, right, Yes,

278
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 8: this is not a good idea.

279
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you've ever watched people at a four way stop,

280
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: picture adding another dimension to that, please kill me.

281
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: So I door dashed some usin X Joe swears by

282
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: it as a cold medicine. I was complaining that cold

283
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: medicine doesn't do anything, Joe says, Does I believe you?

284
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, But I just doordashed some First of all,

285
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: it says I got to show an ID at a door.

286
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: What kind of jackpot have you gotten me into where

287
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: I've got to show an ID for this medicine? What

288
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: sort of heavy duty, breaking, bad sort of stuff is this?

289
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,359
Speaker 1: It's manufactured south of the border, by a non governmental organization.

290
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: All right, anyway, it's shockingly expensive. Also, like everything is

291
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 4: in the modern world. The other thing going to my

292
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 4: CVS account and my door dash, I realized I hadn't

293
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 4: door dashed anything from CVS since last year's Super Bowl,

294
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: when I doordashed the beard dye because I watched one

295
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: of the Super Bowl heads and they suggested it was

296
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: really really effective the beard die and the guy was

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: getting all kinds of chicks with his new darker beard.

298
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So I got to go tea die and

299
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: I died it during the halftime of the.

300
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which I've looked at the pictures. They don't

301
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: then it didn't look that good. Although I got to

302
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: ease into that.

303
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: I see a lot of dudes doing it on TV.

304
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: I mean, now I can recognize it when it's just

305
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: way too dark because I did it, and that's what happens.

306
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: It's just way too dark and it doesn't fit with

307
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 4: your and the rest of your body.

308
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 8: I so, did you get the blue or the green?

309
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: Use next? I think both?

310
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 6: Why is there a difference? Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

311
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 6: One of you may stick up you. I mean, what's

312
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 6: the difference, Well, one of them will knock you out.

313
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 6: Oh okay, okay, So it's like nighttime versus daytime.

314
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh oh interesting.

315
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm familiar with the cough suppressant and not

316
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: cough suppressant.

317
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: But I got the box that contains both night time

318
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: and daytime.

319
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: And I'm going to take a like a Gene Hackman

320
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: like nap later today is.

321
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: What I'm going.

322
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Oh boy, okay, don't do that, boy? Yeah? Yeah. Any

323
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: updates on that story, by the way, ye for it.

324
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: But the texture who came up with, what's the deal

325
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: with the nine to one one call?

326
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: There's no way to get into the house.

327
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: And then the police stating very shortly when this after

328
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: this story broke of door was a jar.

329
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: Those two don't match. Yes, yeah, that is odd.

330
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't prove anything, but it is that is one

331
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: a direction or inquiry will be going.

332
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: Yes.

333
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, finding out the dog was in the crate blew

334
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 4: up my theory that the dog ate the pills that

335
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 4: the wipe spilled.

336
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: But night yeah.

337
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 8: Well. From People magazine dot Com about twenty five minutes ago,

338
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 8: apparently the sheriff is saying that the pill bottle found

339
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 8: near Hackman's wife is one of the most important pieces

340
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 8: of evidence in this case.

341
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: Well, of course, dull, what do you mean? Duh? What

342
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: do yeah? What? How is that a duh?

343
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 9: You you are If it's succiciently removed from the investigation,

344
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 9: I'm busting you down to street cop. If it was

345
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 9: to be wearing out your shoe leader, if it was

346
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 9: the sort of thing that you would take to if

347
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 9: you wanted to kill yourself in an overdose, it means

348
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 9: a lot more than if it's some pill that you

349
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 9: don't take that to kill yourself.

350
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: But that wasn't known.

351
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: Again you hear off the investigation coming up really really

352
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: insightful peace on why women are so miserable right now

353
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: and woke and it's related.

354
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Wow. If you missed a segment or now get podcast.

355
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Geeddy come by Freedom.

356
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: We Love.

357
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: Everybody for their sixteenth birthday.

358
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: It's not clear to me what they're referencing there, but

359
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: one of the most ironic and pathetic couse plays of

360
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: revolutionary bravery I have ever witnessed.

361
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: The Northeast colleges of the United States have no equal.

362
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 4: Well, the only thing we have to lose is are chains.

363
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 4: What the hell are you talking about? You privileged, pampered God,

364
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: it's so you should be embarrassed.

365
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: And then they go.

366
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Then they go off to their women's studies majors and

367
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: learn absolutely nothing of use to humanity, so which leads

368
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: us to, oh, of course they get an a. Of

369
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: course they do a great piece by Amy Gallagher, who

370
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: is a brit She's a fairly well known commentator over

371
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: yonder but I thought this was fascinating. She has a

372
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: couple of grafts that will I will describe for you.

373
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: They're easily understood. The first one is is labeled. We've

374
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: talked about this before. A wide ideology gap is opening

375
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: between young men and young women in countries across the

376
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: world and their political ideology of eighteen to twenty nine

377
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: year olds by sex, and the chart has more liberal

378
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: is towards the top, more conservative is toward the bottom.

379
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: But in South Korea, women in the last five years

380
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: have turned sharply more liberal to a plus thirty score,

381
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: men sharply more conservative.

382
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: Huge gap. Wow, the US men who've been waffling around.

383
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean the lines were like the same in the nineties,

384
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: but since women have gotten steadily and then suddenly wildly

385
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: more liberal. And in the last ten years or so,

386
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: men have had a steady drift toward the conservative, still

387
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: very moderate conservative, but again a huge ideological gap. Germany

388
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: just slightly smaller, and the UK, where everybody's more liberal.

389
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: The women have gone wildly insanely progressive, and the dudes,

390
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: and it's unmistakable, even after a pretty progressive turn during

391
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: the twenty tens, have now started to drift downward while

392
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: the gals are still going upward.

393
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: Man, I mean that should be studied at a very

394
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: high level. I mean, obviously that's incredibly interesting and if

395
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: you're younger, maybe you can't imagine this, but nothing would

396
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 4: have been crazier like when I was twenty five for

397
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: a buddy to say, as datoner, but her politics, I

398
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 4: just couldn't.

399
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: Hinder her politics. I just never heard that ever a

400
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: one time in my life.

401
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: Right, or for a woman, because we're talking about women here,

402
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: to come across some good looking, in shape finance major

403
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: with a bright future and say, no, freaking way, because

404
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: he's conservative.

405
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: I don't like who he voted for for president.

406
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: What.

407
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: No, it's just utterly it's bizarre to even suggest.

408
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: Just and you know, we were in college a few

409
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: years back, but even like fifteen years ago, sure you'd

410
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: see a vastly different result. So to Amy Gallagher's piece,

411
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: she writes two graphs, one showing the growing ideological gap

412
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: between men and women, the other showing that politically left

413
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: leaning women are disproportionately more likely to have a mental

414
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: health condition. No way, I'll let that summary stand for itself.

415
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: I could describe the graph, but that's you know, the

416
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: takeaway in other women women have become more politically radical

417
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: and more psychologically unstable. What came first? Did woke drive

418
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: women mad? Are mad women responsible for the eyes of woke?

419
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: And feel free to wave your hand or get our

420
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: attention any time you want to jump in, Katie. That's

421
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: more than more than welcome.

422
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: I think that the woke did this. You think the

423
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: woke made women crazy? Absolutely? Oh, stay tuned, okay choice.

424
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: She mentions that mental illness is now the leading cause

425
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: of cause of disability in the West, is responsible for

426
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: forty percent of chronic sick leave, and specifically it is

427
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: women and girls who are suffering the most rates mental

428
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: illness arising for both sex. This is what are far

429
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: far disproportionately rising among women. Rates of self harm among

430
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: females have tripled in the last thirty years, and the

431
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: rates of suicidality have doubled. This has all happened within

432
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: a culture that professes to value feelings, emotional well being,

433
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: and mental health awareness. She points out more people going

434
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: to therapy than ever before, more people training to become

435
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: therapists than ever before, and these are all mostly women.

436
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: Around seventy to eighty percent of psychologists and therapists are female.

437
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Those seeking help from them also much more likely to

438
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: be female. But it doesn't seem to be helping. And

439
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: then she goes into several other statistics about antidepressants and

440
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: that sort of thing that are all tracking in the

441
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: same direction in the last fifty years.

442
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 8: Yes, well, so what I'm hearing there is this is

443
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 8: all kind of going along with the Internet, like when

444
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 8: you started being able to get information all the time, anytime,

445
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 8: and then it's just getting worse. Now it's in our pockets.

446
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 8: For the mental health issue, I element of it. I

447
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: guess I think there's probably a relationship there.

448
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: Well, let me say the misogynist thing then, so I

449
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: don't I don't think this is a misogynist I just think.

450
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: It's I'll be the judge of that biological But.

451
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: Women have such a strong biological instinct to have children.

452
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 4: And if way, way, way less people are doing that,

453
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: where does all that other mental emotional energy go. It's

454
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: gotta going forward, chanting. We have nothing to lose but

455
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 4: our change. Yeah, the way to our ethnic studies major.

456
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: In the last fifty years, the number of women in

457
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: full time work has increased by over fifty percent. Similarly,

458
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: in the last thirty years, the number of women who

459
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: are unmarried and single over the age of thirty has

460
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 4: increased from eighteen percent to fifty four percent. To go whoa,

461
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: it's now estimating that half of all women twenty five

462
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: to forty four will be single by twenty thirty, and

463
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: short women are working more and marrying and having family less.

464
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: Many people point to the name it affects the social

465
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: media or the pressures of the beauty industry as to

466
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 4: explain the sadness anxiousness to depress edness.

467
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: However, the problem seems to be much more fundamental than this.

468
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: There is now an increased pressure on women to focus

469
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: on their careers at the expensive relationships. Meaningful relationships are

470
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: what make people happy, especially women. You know that is

471
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: disarmingly simple. Yeah. Yes, but as a guy with a

472
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: pretty good memory of my life and a guy who

473
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: reads a fair amount of science about how to have

474
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: a happy middle age old age retirement, it always comes

475
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: back to the same thing, meaningful relationships, and not with

476
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: a therapist. By the way, women are now going to

477
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: university more than ever before, she says, very britishly, and

478
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: increasingly dropping out. It is in the universities where they

479
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: come across ideas and perspectives that end up making them

480
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: feel worse than they already did. This is justifying Katie's

481
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: suggestion moment ago that woke is driving misery, feminism, critical

482
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: social justice, critical race theory, Marxism. Young women are encouraged

483
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: to be cynical about the world, see oppression everywhere, hate

484
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: their country, hate men, and hate anyone who thinks differently

485
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: from them.

486
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 8: I've heard that the number I was just thinking, the

487
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 8: number of people I know that I are going through

488
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 8: my head reading this that are just they just hate

489
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 8: everything and they will not listen to a word if

490
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 8: it doesn't go along with what they think.

491
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: I think that's worth repeating.

492
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 4: Well, how many times? How many times have I said

493
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: in the last I don't know how many years. Have

494
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: some kids you won't have time to worry about that

495
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: a part of curious topics because it's true.

496
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: But feminism, critical social justice, critical race theory, Marxism. Young

497
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: women are encouraged to be cynical about the world, see

498
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: oppression everywhere, hate their country, hate men, and hate anyone

499
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: who thinks differently from them. And now there's a growing

500
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: ideological gap between men who are more likely to be

501
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: conservative and women more likely to be woke progressive, and

502
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: it's widening, and not because well not really because men

503
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: become more right wing.

504
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 2: That move has been quite modest.

505
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: If you could see the graphs, and we'll post this

506
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: entire thing at Armstrong and Geeddy dot com under hotlinks

507
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: so you can check it out and send it to

508
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: everybody you know. Anyway, it's because of the huge move

509
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: women have made toward the progressive end of things. Perhaps

510
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: given that more women are entering work full time, which

511
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: someone will struggle with because of their poor mental health.

512
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Woke ideas such as harm reduction, focusing on emotions, caring

513
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: for victim groups, and critique of meritocratic capitalism appeals to them.

514
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: But if men can work longer hours and work their

515
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: way up the workplace hierarchy more quickly than women can,

516
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: partly because men are not encumbered by the stuff we

517
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: were just talking about.

518
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: In nearly as large numbers as women.

519
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: We don't hate women, we don't hate our country, we

520
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: don't hate capitalism.

521
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: We're just interested in having some fun and being successful.

522
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: So then when men rise up the hierarchy more quickly,

523
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: it is easier to call this patriarchy rather than confront

524
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: the fact that men and women are different, and many women,

525
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: particularly of the mindset were describing, cannot compete with the men,

526
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: nor do they want to. One final note from Amy Gallagher,

527
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: because I think this is brilliant DEI safe spaces, therapeutic spaces,

528
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: bringing your whole self to work, harm reduction, psychological safety, emotionality, conformity,

529
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: conflict avoidance. We now live in a highly feminized culture,

530
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: and this femininity has taken over the workplace. It is

531
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: a toxic and destructive form of femininity and ironically the

532
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: reason why so many women are making poor life choices

533
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: that leave them unhappy and mentally unstable. If women want

534
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: to feel better, they must first end and their toxic

535
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: love affair with woke progressivism, which has plunged them into

536
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: a downward spiral of insanity and despair.

537
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: Can I get an amen?

538
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 4: Is there any natural force that will change this direction,

539
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: arrest this development.

540
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: It could take because women tend to value network building

541
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: and coalition building more than men, who tend to be

542
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: more independent. It might take some charismatic self helpy guru

543
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: type Instagram influencer. I don't know that the problem is.

544
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: And this is a problem, and it motivates me to

545
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: get up every morning for work. We are up against

546
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: an enormous educational infrastructure that is absolutely dedicated to pushing

547
00:29:53,600 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: these ideas. It's going to be a titanic battle. And then,

548
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 1: if you're a single man in the world, what are

549
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Keep your mouth shut, see you

550
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: got some chance at some romance, or go with the

551
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: slim pickings of people that aren't crazy. Yeah, I'm picturing

552
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: some sort of Joe Getty's College for turning out non

553
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: insane women. I think it's also known as the University

554
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: of Texas at Austin and North Carolina is trying to

555
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: do this too, But uh, it's it's amazing that it's

556
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: gotten this far. If I separate myself from the outrage

557
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: and sadness of it, just as a you know, political scientist,

558
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: quote unquote, as a student of ideological movements. It's been

559
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: amazingly successful for a suicidal and idiotic philosophy.

560
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, if you have any comments on

561
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: this now, a lot of you to do our text

562
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: line four one five two nine five KFTC play clip

563
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: twenty seven. I think this is important to the conversation here.

564
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: Fencer suspicious, but have already ruled out a carbon monoxide

565
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: leak and say there were no obvious signs of foul play.

566
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: There was no indication of a struggle. There was no

567
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: indication of anything that was missing from the home or disturbed.

568
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing missing from the home, nothing disturbed, no sign

569
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: of a struggle. I don't think anybody was picturing that.

570
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 4: But and no evidence of a carbon monoxide leak. Now,

571
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: you know, if carbon monoxide had killed Gene Hackman and

572
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 4: his wife and dog, it would have quite possibly dispersed.

573
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: In the week weeks. They don't know yet how long.

574
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 4: The bodies were there, but I assume they like checked

575
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: around to see is skiff something could have caused a

576
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: carbon monoxide leak?

577
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, yeah, an obvious mechanism or whatever that

578
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: was inside the house that shouldn't have been that sort

579
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: of thing.

580
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, So my original plan from yesterday was, and I

581
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: think I still might be going with it, very old

582
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 4: Gene Hackman falls, has a heart attack in the mudroom.

583
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: She finds his body is so despondent she can't imagine

584
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: going on without him. Goes and gets the pills, takes

585
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 4: a whole bunch.

586
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: She dies. But then my theory was the dog eats

587
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: the pills and dies, and the dog was in a crate.

588
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: To call your theory crackpot is to insult crack Why

589
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: why is that crackit pot?

590
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: That seems like the most.

591
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: Logical explanation, says the crackpot.

592
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't explain to a crackpot why there are crackpots,

593
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: so don't ask me to. Here's what happened, and anybody

594
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: with any sense can see.

595
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 6: This was it.

596
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: His old friend al Pacino, Clint Eastwood, came back and

597
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: gave Hackman a kicking in vengeance for Unforgiven forty years

598
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: ago whenever that movie was made.

599
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: Wonderful movie anyway.

600
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: So old Gene Hackman, who is at least dependent on

601
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: a sixty five year old he's ninety five, comes home.

602
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: She has had some sort of fatal mishap whe her

603
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: a fall or a heart attacker or a stroker or

604
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: whatever in the bathroom. He shocked rushes to call the authorities.

605
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Has a fall, a serious injury at his advanced age,

606
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: and he can't help himself. Oh, your passes.

607
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: So your theory is similar to mine. It's just in reverse.

608
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, my pop is intact. That's the difference.

609
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Where are the pills in that theory?

610
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

611
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: Oh, she was in her bathroom dealing with the pills

612
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: when she had her fatal health event. Okay, what fatal

613
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: health events? Don't wait till you're sitting down under a blanket.

614
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes they happened, you know, when you're doing stuff.

615
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: Well, the easiest one to explain is him in any

616
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: scenario would come up, because when you're ninety five, it

617
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 4: doesn't take much you slip.

618
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, a blow to the head.

619
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean he could easily have had, you know, some

620
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: sort of subdural hematoma. See a proof that I know

621
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: better than you guys, because I know words like that,

622
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: or or some sort of devastating injury that a ninety

623
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: five year old cannot lift himself off the ground and

624
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: go get help or eat or drink.

625
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 4: So the autops you will help with that, because if

626
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: it turns out, you know, maybe he was laying on the.

627
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: Floor there for a week. It's entirely possible. Yeah. Yeah.

628
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 8: The only thing they said with that that I've seen

629
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 8: this morning is that that's clear he was coming home

630
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 8: or leaving because he had his sunglasses on.

631
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were lying next to him, I think maybe. Yeah.

632
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this story could quite possibly have an ending

633
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: that is not the least bit amusing to hear.

634
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: Oh I suspect nor dramatic. Right, yeah, it'll just be sad.

635
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like that submarine that was underneath you know,

636
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 4: went down to see the Titanic, and we all talked

637
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: about that and this and that for a long time

638
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 4: and then when it turns out, yeah, it just collapsed.

639
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: And they all died instantly. Yeah. Not the greatest story. Yeah,

640
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: A grade A grade.

641
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: So are you participating in the utterly idiotic boycott today?

642
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: It's too to get to capitalism or something and.

643
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 4: How you don't like billionaires taking over the world or something. Yeah, exactly, Well.

644
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 8: Jack already door dashed and I just ordered something on Amazon, so.

645
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.

646
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: So the guy who initiated this is something like a

647
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: meditation teacher, and I don't scoff at meditation or anything,

648
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: but or a yoga side.

649
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. But the USA today is writing about

650
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: this and they.

651
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: Quote a BLM enthusiast and I don't mean the Bureau

652
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: of Land Management, and then to get an opinion on

653
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: how great this is, they quote Jason Williams, Professor of

654
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: Justice Studies at Montclair State University in New Jersey. It

655
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: definitely does send a political message to these companies that

656
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: were watching them. We're not going to let them get

657
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: away with abandoning our causes. They're trying to punish anybody

658
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: who dropped any DEI policies, right, and it.

659
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: Doesn't work at all.

660
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 4: Why don't you call a grocery store and say, do

661
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 4: you notice any less traffic than on normal Friday?

662
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: That'd be a good question to ask. This will not

663
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: make a g NAT's fart worth of difference. No, we

664
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: do four hours every day. If you miss an hour

665
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: to get the podcast, Armstrong and Getty
