WEBVTT - Get Up & Walk Out Of That S 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.640 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.719 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and Getty and 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:17.280 he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.440 Walmart is testing new technology that allows workers to remotely 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.920 unlock anti shoplifting displays, while CBS is just giving every 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:33.960 customer a brick. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:43.479 Yeah, interesting that that's such a universal You can make 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:44.879 a joke nationally about that. 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.760 Welcome, how y'all doing so? And yes and yes sorry. 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:58.280 The perception one would come to from most media is 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.360 that only lying right wingers are claiming crime is going up, 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.160 and just now, as you said, as you said last 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.080 hour about some other topic. Apparently people saw through all 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:15.199 that based on the results of the election. Every once 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.160 in a while, an argument seems to be one in 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.440 the world of politics or lost, depending on which side 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:21.680 of it you were on. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.880 Not a lot most elections. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.760 We seem to just go back and forth between an 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.960 R or D and we keep having the same arguments. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.720 But every once in a while argument is one or lost. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.920 One of the best examples in my lifetime being gay marriage. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:40.720 So thoroughly drubbed by the idea of gay marriage, Republicans 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.919 just ceased fighting it at all when it became clear 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.400 that the country had decided that that's what they want, 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.360 and so that then that argument was over and it 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.040 just doesn't exist anymore. And I'm hoping that maybe that 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.880 has happened, or we're close to it happening with the 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.240 whole identity politics thing that took off in the mid 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.520 nineties and has been running this country for a long time. 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.440 And maybe maybe because there's a lot of people on 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.920 the left saying this is not working for us, starting 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.400 with well, not starting with a whole bunch of different people. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:13.320 Well, this isn't it. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:18.760 James Carvil's he ran Clinton's campaign, really pre identity politics 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.320 taking hold of the Democratic Party way back in the 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.239 early nineties. But this is what James Carvill has to 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:24.840 say about the current state of things. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:30.560 With reference to exotic positions which our identity politics. If 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.440 you read to Arkle in your Times, I said, I 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.120 give Harris credit, she does not bring this up. But 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.720 this stuff is like smoke on your clothes. I was fireplace. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:44.160 You can't wash it off. And those ideas, well, it's true, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.440 they never said it. You know how many millions of 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.320 dollars that the Republicans ran on anti identity politics positions 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.799 that people had taken in a Democratic party in twenty nineteen. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.760 In twenty twenty to hancy has a lot because you're 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.840 see it politics the other side play, and you've got 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.480 to understand that it is going to take another four 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.000 years before we wash the stitch of this off of 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.040 our clothes. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.560 At least, So identity to politics being your politics are 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.680 all about your immutable things, like your skin color, whether 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.600 your man or woman, what you know, your hispanic or 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.799 white or black or all those kind of things are identity. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.480 Justics your politics, but your place in the world. Are 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.640 you a good person or a bad person? Can you 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.840 work here or not? That's all about your immutable characteristics. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:37.160 Sam Harris, who is a lefty, super smart guy, best known, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.600 I guess for being an outspoken atheist. But anyway, he 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.680 wrote in sub stack yesterday, I think there are some 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.280 lessons that the Democrats really must absorb for what is 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.200 undeniably a total political defeat. They simply must recognize that 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.840 several planks of their platform are thoroughly rotten. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000 Identity politics is over. No one wants it. 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.760 Latinos and blacks don't even want it, as witnessed by 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.360 the fact that they moved to Trump record numbers. Trump 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.400 got a majority of Latino men nationwide, and some counties 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.120 got a majority of Latino men and women, even with 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.280 all that he has said about immigrants from Latin America 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.320 over the years, things like they're poisoning the blood of 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.120 our people. A comedian called Puerto Rico a pilot garbage 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.520 at a Trump rally, and the entire Democratic machine, all 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.800 of the liberal media seized upon it as though a 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.560 nuclear bomb had just vaporized in an American city and 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.240 nobody cared because it was practically the closing argument of 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.280 the campaign, right that that will be looked back on 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:34.600 him as a mistake. Puerto Rican voters moved strongly toward 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.040 Trump in a number of different strongholds because in Florida, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.160 because the point is, and then I'll get back to 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.080 this Sam Harris thing is, they cared more about what 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.880 my rent is, what my wages are, how good my 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.800 school is for my kid, rather than comments about my 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.200 skin color, race. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.560 Gender, whatever, what particular Caribbean island I'm from. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.680 Right, there's one species of identity politics that had an 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.280 enormous effect on this election, and most Democrats don't seem 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.640 to realize it. Around half a percent of American adults 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.840 identify as transgender or non binary. That's one in two 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.800 hundred people, and yet the activism around the identity has 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.480 drained our politics for as long as Trump has been 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.920 in politics. One lesson that I would be quick to 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.560 draw from this election is that Americans aren't really fond 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.240 of seeing biological men punch women in the face of 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.280 the Olympics. And if that sounds like transphobia to you, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.640 you're the problem. Political equality, which should we should want 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.159 for everyone, does not mean that trans women are women. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.720 When Sam Harris is writing that, I gotta believe that 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.760 that issue is done. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:35.479 Yeah, I gotta believe. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.000 There are people like Sam and the many many others 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.200 who are coming out of the woodwork Bill Maher among 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.960 others that have been on the left and have hesitated 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.000 at least somewhat to criticize the excesses of their ideological 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.760 brothers and sisters. But they've been chafing because they know 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.159 how insane it is, you know. To get back to 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.360 Carville's point real quickly, he talked about the Democrats didn't 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.120 really run on identity politics. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.000 Exactly. They kind of off pedaled it. I would suggest. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.840 That the Republicans weren't running against what the Democrats were 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.520 running on. The Republicans were running against what the Democrats 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.360 have done. What people see in their elementary schools and 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.080 their kids' sports, and the college campuses, and the insanity 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.880 and they or whatever in your workplace, in the training 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.080 you have to take every year, oh my god, the 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:26.080 humiliating DEI training. Folks, trust me when I say, with 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 some exceptions, the momentum is on your side. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.200 Don't consent to that, because it's still. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.839 Going on in some corporations, government offices where you have 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.800 to sit there and listen to somebody who's getting five 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.840 thousand dollars an hour tell you all white people are evil, 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:44.240 get up and walk out of that s Anyway, and 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.960 I've been wanting to get to this. I came across 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.960 an article and it was in the Wall Street Journal, which, granted, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.280 if you're employing lots and lots of journalists, you have 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.720 lots and lots of lefties. It's just inevitable, even if 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.800 you're the Wall Street Journal. And it's and it's an 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.679 article about you know, and politics and quote unquote transgender rights, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:08.960 which means a guy can play in women's sports, or 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.720 a male rapist can go into a women's prison and 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.520 rape some more women, and that's portrayed as transgender rights. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.640 That's a prejudicial term. Nobody has a right to do that. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:25.080 As sam Aris said, Americans aren't fond of seeing biological 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.160 men punch women in the face at the Olympics, either 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.320 spike volleyballs into their face or what have you, or 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.840 win eight hundred and fifty and counting different medals and 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:39.120 awards and college championships and high school championships and the 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.880 rest of it. It's I tell you what, folks, it is, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.960 for better or worse, an unbelievable example of how a 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:51.720 very small but vicious group of people can twist society 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.760 in ways that you wouldn't think were possible. Well, I 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.280 was listening to the National Review podcasts the other day. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.200 They're making the point that the the same crowd that 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.000 managed to turn the tide on gay marriage took a 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.720 hold of this and thought they could do it again. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.600 I mean, because gay marriage was incredibly unpopular not that 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.160 long ago. I always point out that in the two 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.720 thousand and eight election, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.600 the Democratic Party running against each other, both stated what 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.440 marriage should be between a man and a woman. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:21.840 That's not that long ago. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.880 In the Democratic Party, the great Barack Obama was against 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.440 gay marriage, but the tide turned by pushing because there 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:28.800 was it. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.320 You know, it was the right side of history. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:31.840 I mean it turned out, I think we all agree 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.880 now on all but most people agree that makes sense. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.400 And they thought they could do the same thing with 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.200 the trans thing. No, you can't, This is nuts. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:45.320 Yeah, it professional like you know, anything goes sexually. Activists 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.840 were part of it, but also the postmodern neo Marxist 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.560 movement excuse me, got ahead of it or got a 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.200 hold of it and decided that they could use that 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.720 energy to overthrow Western civilization in the same way that 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.480 you know, Lives Matter is trying to and the rest 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:01.720 of it. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.120 So that, yeah, they tried to seize that. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.400 There's a lot of that sort of mission creep in 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.840 nonprofits like the NAACP. They've won all their victories. I mean, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.320 what else do you want? The Southern Poverty Law Center, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.959 they want all their victories. But they got a staff 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.600 and they got lots of people making lots of money. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.960 So they kind of morphed into the yeah, we're anti hate, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:24.920 and then we. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:25.640 Raised tons of money. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.760 And by the way, we're gonna identify like half of 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.040 America as a hate group no matter what they stand for. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.080 And so they just what are they now? They're a 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.120 weird mutated beast to what they used to be. And 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.320 the quote unquote gay rights movement, which used to be 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:45.480 LGB lesbians, gays, bisexual people, which is a very small 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.599 number of people. But anyway, you know, I ought to 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:48.840 be able to do what I want to do and 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.959 marry who I want to marry. Okay, great, And then 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.800 they added the T and oh oh, And that was 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:54.920 the point I wanted to get to in the Wall 0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:01.400 Street Journal article, is they used quotes around certain phrases 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.959 that I believed in, and I wish I hadn't in 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:04.280 front of me. 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.320 I'll find it. But they didn't use quotes. 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:14.439 Around transgender, including talking about transgender kids. And I wish 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.840 I could remember what perfectly reasonable thing they used quotes around. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.880 But we now accept that there is such a thing 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.400 as a twelve year old girl being quote unquote transgender. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:27.480 What does that mean? 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.920 Is there an agreed upon meaning of that or is 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.360 that an activist's effort to prejudice the argument, and therefore 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.560 Wall Street Journal ought to be in quotes. There's no 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:43.120 agreed upon meaning of that term at all. I'll find 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.600 that so I can make the contrast all the more 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.400 clear for you. But the war for the language tell 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.960 you what. We got to fight it every single day 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.720 and be aware of when we are duped into using 0:10:54.920 --> 0:11:00.400 their terminology. Here's something we can all agree on. Warrior 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.400 Foundation Freedom Station supporting our troops are warriors who are 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.960 transitioning from active duty to civilian life, many of them injured, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.160 suffering PTSD, traumatic brain injury, that sort of thing. We've 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.800 been working with Warrior Foundation Freedom Station for years and 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.560 they are celebrating their twenty year anniversary supporting our warriors, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.400 and we're helping them raise money. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.520 Yep, and flying them home for the holidays. We've done 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.760 this many years in a row. We urge you to 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.760 donate tomorrow as the day to help fly ill and 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.040 injured Marine soldiers and sailors home for the holidays. Everyone 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.840 deserves to spend the holidays with their loved ones, especially 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.000 to men and women who have so bravely sacrificed for 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.440 our country. It takes some money to get people on 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.240 a plane and fly them there, though, that's what. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:39.880 We're asking for. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.079 We've seen firsthand the huge impact Warrior Foundation is made 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.280 in the lives of our warriors. They are continually unbelievably 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.880 efficient with your donated dollars, but they depend on your 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.679 continued support. So make a donation this week Warrior Foundation 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.679 dot org. That's Warrior Foundation dot org. Let's send our 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.880 warriors home for the holidays. Warrior Foundation. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.000 I just saw up in the Business Channel twenty three 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.680 and me is laying off a bunch of people. Not 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.679 enough people spitting in tubes anymore. Got everybody that wants 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.079 to spit in the tube, or it turns out once 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.319 you're spit in the tube, you're uh. The fund's kind 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.760 of gone out of it because so they have like 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.520 no repeat business. How would you, oh, right, exactly, you 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.400 get me as a client one time. I've done it once. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.960 It's not a yeah, you're right right? I wonder am 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.000 I still a white fella? I better spit in the 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.960 tube again. No, nobody said that was my great great grandmother. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:37.120 Still kind of really not that interesting. Just a person's 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:38.559 one hundred years ago. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.079 Sixteen generations ago there was a Spaniard in the family. 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:49.680 I'll be damn yeah, oh here it is. That's right. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.959 Uh. The article was how Trump is gearing up for 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.240 assault on wokeness with the education overhaul, which I do 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.760 want to talk about, but it uses it continually puts 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:07.160 votes around the term woke. But then transgender, including talking 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.320 about little. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.520 Kids, is not in quotes. Why is that? Wall Street 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.640 Journal strikes me as odd? Why as a word? Smith? Yeah, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:15.400 that's interesting. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.800 So CNN's laying off a ton of people today because 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.720 their ratings have gone down so much. That's happening with 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.000 media all across the country a bunch of different ways. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.600 Maybe we'll touch on that since we are in the 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.960 media and a bunch of other things. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:28.680 Stay with US. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.880 Officials to South Carolina and now as they've captured twenty 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.800 five of the forty three monkeys that escape from a lab, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.240 which is a very positive way to say we lost 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:42.240 eighteen monkeys. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.480 That's a good point. Good point. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.080 On the other hand, South Carolina, which is growing rapidly, 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.400 huge tourism industry, you got monkeys in the trees. I've 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.040 been to Costa Rica. People spend lots of time looking 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.280 at the monkeys and washing them, chatter and taking pictures 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.240 and stuff. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.439 Monkeys is just what South Carolina. The dads. 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.320 Hanson, our executive producer's, got a couple of kids like 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:10.040 me at home, and we were just discussing how the uh, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.880 it's not always enjoyable to have the mirror around the 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.560 mirror that is your children. I mean, sometimes it is 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.920 when you see them the mirror image of some of 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.480 your good traits. But when you see the mirror image 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.600 of some of your bad traits, you think, oh crap. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.120 Either genetically I passed that along to you, or my 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.480 behavior has passed that along to you one or the other. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.040 One of the most painful and. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:39.360 Valuable experiences of my entire life, no doubt, seeing that mirror, yeah. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.760 And yeah, And then you do wonder is this was 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.600 this a genetic thing? Or is my behavior, you know, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.120 my living with me done this. I don't know, and 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.760 nobody really knows. But on all of this, but on 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.120 this particular one, I got to relive the experience of 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.360 trying to help him last night, of trying to get 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.920 your big giant high school english paper done that you've 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.920 known about for weeks but really didn't start until yesterday and. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:07.920 Is due today. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.000 And I mean, that's got to be a genetic thing, 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.760 because he hasn't seen me try to get a high 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.800 school term paper done. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.200 But it's just amazing. It was just amazing. It was 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.720 like sitting with young me last night. It was just hilarious. Yes, Katie, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.600 I used to do that, and when I would do that. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.840 Now as an adult, I have nightmares. Yeah, oh yeah 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:29.000 I have. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.040 And unfortunately, apparently I had said to him at some 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.880 point when he was younger, I shouldn't have said this 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.880 out loud. It was that I've been this way my 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.280 whole life, and it's I've just accepted that it's never 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.600 going to change. So he's already just embraced the idea 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.480 that the way he is and he. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.120 Can't change, which might be true actually, But. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.840 For instance, he had to record this speech that he's 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.000 supposed to do on his computer and I said, well, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.720 how are you going to do that? He said, well, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.320 recorded on the computer, I know, but specifically, how like, 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.280 is there an app or is there something I don't 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.120 know all figured out? So you haven't looked into it yet, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.120 you don't know how you're going to regard the speech 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.280 on the computer, so then we had to google that. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.760 And you use your quick time player and your QuickTime 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.240 player is not updated because you haven't updated your software, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.920 and we need to update the software. Oh, it's one 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.880 of the big software updates. It takes like an hour 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.600 and a half. It's something on your commit Oh, these 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.840 I said, you see, these are the things that multiply 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.400 when you wait to the last minute. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.320 But who am I talking to him or me? Yeah, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.720 I hate to admit that I had that same tendency 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.080 growing up. It sickens me to even think about it. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.640 On the other hand, and Sam, if you're listening now, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.200 it would be a good time to turn off the rate. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.720 Old Uncle Joe is going to say something completely irrelevant 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.720 in a waste of your time. That would be It 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.280 made me very good at churning out rough drafts of 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.160 high quality, which I do for a living. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:17:00.440 Now, right, there's some I mean, I'm really trying to 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.000 spin this. It's like the talking about the monkeys you 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.760 found is the post of the monkeys that are still 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.960 out there? Really spinning the facts of this case. But 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.280 there's some advantage to having a skill set of you know, 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.600 shoestering catches and flying by the seat of your pants, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.080 because sometimes life throws you those situations. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.160 We need a solution, We need a solution. I'm thinking, Okay, 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.919 give me a second, give me a second. This is why, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.399 because that's been my entire life. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.880 Not I'm going to need several weeks at several drafts 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:33.760 not to mention footnotes. I mean, I absolutely respect those folks. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.399 Oh my god, I'm jealous. I'm so jealousy of you folks. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:38.639 On the other hand, takes all kinds. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.679 Oh yeah, your life looks so much easier than mine. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.080 The way you do it, where you worked on your 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:45.679 paper a little bit at a time and got it 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.760 done this past weekend. That looks much more enjoyable than 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:49.639 no way I did it. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.280 Some people have the old seat of the pants gene, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.119 a little old I got ten minutes. I can probably 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.399 figure it out. Oh my god, it was some to relive. Oh, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.880 I'm telling you, I sympathize some. 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.639 Of Trump's appointments, getting a lot of attention. Happy with 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.160 the think all of them. Really a lot more stuff 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.680 on the way. I hope you can stay with us, 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.879 Armstrong and getty. Yo yo yo. I got some more 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.040 information about what my Friday Night's going to be watching 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.880 Mike Tyson kick Jake Paul's ass on Netflix. But more 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.040 on that coming up in a little bit. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:27.560 Stay tuned. 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.520 Wow, Wow, that sounds like a wager waiting to happen. 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:37.760 M He says, Tyson's still a beast, but he's an 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:38.360 older man. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.080 I have more to say on that, but coming up. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:47.320 All right, Fine, So a strange bedfellow's department here, Exxon 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.080 is saying Trump should keep the US in the Paris 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.000 Climate Pact. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:53.840 I saw that. That's surprising to me. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.000 The CEO of Exxon Mobile, Darren Woods, says it's a 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.440 bad idea to pull out of the pat He said, 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.840 the stops and starts right now. That's not good for 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.520 the business. It's extremely inefficient. It creates a lot of uncertainty. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.000 How about we are certain and that we withdraw and 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:13.400 stay out. That's certainty. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:19.960 Uh yeah, I would agree. Woods is currently and Azerbaijan, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.199 of all places, where he's set to rub elbows with 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.760 world leaders at the annual United Nations Climate Conference. Well, 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:30.240 you got the combination of the steadiness and the complete 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.440 sincerity of the United Nations with the whole climate change thing. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.440 There's no way that ends up in just a enormous 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:39.480 load of bull crap. 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:39.800 Yeah. 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.720 I don't know anything about this story, but is it 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.720 possible that it just makes his life easier to be 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.080 in favor of the parent CLIMAC Accords while continuing to 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.840 do what they do as the exon oil company. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.120 I was just yes, Yes. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.560 The US oil major company has recently expanded to outreach 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:01.160 to government officials, touting its carbon cutting investments in advising 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.959 them to pursue global carbon accounting measures. It's also engaged 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.399 more frequently some officials critical of the oil industry's contributions 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.359 to the greenhouse gast missions blah blah blah. So they 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.880 obviously are trying to position themselves as part. 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:16.960 Of the solution. Right. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.920 I was about to say, I don't mean to get 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:21.359 off track, but this will get us off track. But 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.320 I think about the climate change thing, you know how 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.480 some people say it's like a religion, and then the 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.399 same thing around the trans thing, and then there's a 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.320 couple of other issues. Cause we're gonna play audio coming 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.119 up later. Maybe you've seen this already on CNN. It's 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.520 somebody melting down on CNN the other day when somebody 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.560 commented that men shouldn't be in women's sports, and then 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.800 they had misgendered someone in this guest on there just 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.199
