I would like to, Yeah, 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: I like he's pretty and young and wealthy, but I 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: cannot because he seems to be sincere and working hard 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: at his craft. Yeah. I don't give a damn what 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: he thinks about politics, but he seems not to want 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: to jabber about it. 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 4: So he went to some super famous like Art school 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 4: in New York where talented kids go to. I read 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: a thing about him after I watched the Dylan movie 26 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 4: and when he's name, I want to live forever that 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 4: school probably, Yeah, that exact school.

That's astonished? It really is? Yeah? Sorry? 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: Was there another follow up?

God, that's it 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: unbelievable that this is happening in America. I'm looking at 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 4: a Tesla dealership where there are five cars fully on fire, 37 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 4: not to mention the ones that have just been you know, 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: keyed and damage and that sort of stuff. 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: But we have some Tesla news for you coming up. Okay, 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: So a bit of a yin and yang here my 41 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: home state of Illinois, which is like my best friend 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: from high school who is now a drug addict and 43 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: a thief and a wife abuser. As far as I'm concerned, 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 2: I have so much affection for Illinois, but it has 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: gone utterly perverse led by the crooks and legislature it's 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: dominated by Democrats. JB. Pritzker is a monster and a 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: child groomer and an experimental on, an experimenter on child's genitals. 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: I couldn't hate him anymore. And they are. They just 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 2: passed out of the Education Policy Committee of bill HB 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty seven, known as a Homeschool Act, which 51 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: imposes layers webs of regulations and requirements on homeschool and 52 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: if they do not comply properly with the you would 53 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: need like a full time employee to make sure you 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: were in compliance. If you don't, they could face up 55 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: to a Class C misdemeanor punishable by up to thirty 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: days in jail. 57 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot harder than you'd think it would 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: be to meet the homeschool standards they want. Well, well, 59 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: this is one of the reasons actually in the public 60 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: school we're losing so many teachers is they have so 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: much flip and paperwork that they have to fill out 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: about everything to meet. It's just a regulatory state period 63 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: that causes all this. Then you add in the politics 64 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: of you want to make. 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: It hard so that the teachers unions want to make 66 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: it impossible. 67 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: They want to make it hard so that you'll say, well, 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: I just can't do this. I guess I'll put my 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: kid back in school. 70 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: Right right? It is utterly obscene. Yeah, it really is sickening. Yeah. 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: I could get into it more, but I want to 72 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: go back to something we talked about a little while 73 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, the. 74 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: Helpmaten argument being that we don't trust you to homeschool, 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 4: so we need an awful lot of oversight to make 76 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: sure you're meeting our expectations. 77 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: Well, that's the excuse. The raw politics of it is, Oh, 78 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: there may be some well meaning do gooders who actually 79 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: mean what you're saying, But the raw politics reality of 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: it is, the teachers' unions have said, you crush home schooling, 81 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: you crush school choice, you crush charter schools, and you 82 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: crush them fast, and so the politicians are jumping to 83 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: do their evil bidding. So Jonathan Turley wrote about this 84 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: while back, and I brought it up that first circuit 85 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: court case that held it parents have no right to 86 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: know about their eleven year old changing gender in school, 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 2: and this unwritten policy was viewed as overriding parental rights. 88 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: The decision is defended as a reflection of our pluralistic society. 89 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: The court wrote, our pluralistic society and signs those curricular 90 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 2: and administrative decisions to the expertise of school officials charged 91 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: with the responsibility of educating people. And of course its 92 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: turtly points out there's no more cherished right than citizens 93 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: possessed than to raise their own children. And the idea 94 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: that your excuse for insisting all children get indoctrinated in 95 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 2: the same way at public schools and the parents aren't 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: told about it. Your excuse for that is our pluralistic 97 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: society that lets people believe what they want to believe, 98 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: is just bizarre and twisted. Fair enough, So I dug 99 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: into this case, the actual decision United States Court of 100 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: Appeals for the First Circuit, and it is so interesting 101 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 2: and instructive to actually dig and disturbing to actually dig 102 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: into the decision. And they mentioned in the description there 103 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: are a bunch of Latin terms involved, and not gonna 104 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: bore you with them or try to sound show offye 105 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: because I only understand about half of them. Anyway, Court's nation, 106 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: I have faced all manner of important litigation involving matters 107 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: of gender identity and gender expression, including the use of 108 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: folks preferred pronouns. Today's case falls under that broader heading. 109 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: More specifically, it presents for our review challenging issues arising 110 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: from the Ludlow's School Committee's protocol requiring its staff to 111 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: use a student's requested name in gender pronouns within the 112 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: school without notifying the parents of those requests unless that 113 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: student consents. Our appellants are the parents of a Ludlow 114 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: student who chose at school but not at home, to 115 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: go by a different name the kid did, and to 116 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: use different pronouns than those given to them at birth. 117 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: The parents assert that Ludlow's practice of accommodating and concealing 118 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 2: their child's requested name, and I credit the court at 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: least for the intellectual honesty to say they are doing 120 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: something affirmatively. They are not just not telling the parents, 121 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: they are actively concealing the child's request and pronouns while 122 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: at school, interferes with their parental rights is guaranteed by 123 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: the United States Constitution. Ludlow counters that it's protocol is 124 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: appropriate and necessary to ensure a safe and inclusive school 125 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: learning environment for students. How many times have we heard 126 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: that utterly meaningless greeting card phrase safe and inclusive? Oh yeah, 127 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: well said, well said, in what way would saying, hey, 128 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: your son is asking to be called a girl at school? 129 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: In what way would that be unsafe? Are we to 130 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: that old canard that well, the dad might beat the 131 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: hell out of the kid when he gets home. So 132 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: we can't tell the parents what's going on that whole 133 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: because one parent out of a thousand is a monster 134 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: argument and inclusive? In what way would it be exclusive 135 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: to say to the parents, hey, your son is asking 136 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: to be called a little girl. That phrase is utterly meaningless. 137 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: So that's how they described the questions before us. Here's 138 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: where it gets really really interesting. You tell me whether 139 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: this is a school trying to be safe and inclusive 140 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: or a school indoctrinating a child. This is from the court, 141 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: from the actual decision, keeping in mind the first circuit 142 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: said no, no, parents don't get to know. School gets 143 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: to raise the kid. They describe Baird Middle School in Ludlow, Massachusetts. 144 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: Early in the twenty twenty one school year, sixth grade 145 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 2: students at Baird, including eleven year old BF. The student 146 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: was given an assignment by the school's librarian to create 147 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: biographic videos about themselves. Sounds great so far, yep. According 148 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: to the parents' complaint, the librarian, Jordan Funk, Yeah, I 149 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: shouldn't make any jokes because this is sickening. The librarian, 150 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: Jordan Funk, encouraged students to include their pronouns in their videos. 151 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: If you right there, that makes me a combination into 152 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: radical gender theory. If you right there, I'm thinking, I 153 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: got to get my kid out of this school, right right. 154 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: Don't play the pronoun game. That is getting the camel's 155 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: nose under the tent of getting you to go along 156 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: with radical gender theory at a time. I hate the 157 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: idea of what age was this eleven years old? Wow? 158 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 4: I hate the idea of you even starting that conversation 159 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: to where the kid. My kid's gonna say, they're told 160 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: me to use pronouns. 161 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: What does that mean? I don't want I'm a dude. 162 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: It's he just teach math and reading. That's what I want. God, 163 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: that makes me gets better. The parent's complaint does not 164 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: state how the student designated the female sex at birth. 165 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: No sex is not designated First Circuit Court of Appeals, 166 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: that is language straight out of critical theory radical gender 167 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: theory that was invented by them. Nobody ever used that 168 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: terminology until well, with the exception of the teachers colleges, 169 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: which have been left of stalin for a very long time. 170 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 2: Nobody has ever used that terminology until radical gender theory 171 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: caught hold of idiot's imaginations. First Circuit court be better 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: than that anyway. The parents complaint does not state how 173 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 2: the student designated the female sex at birth responded to 174 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: the school assignment, but in the months that followed the assignment, 175 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 2: the student's school Google account started receiving quote unsolicited LBGTQ 176 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: themed video suggestions on their school issued computer. So they're 177 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: getting indoctrination clips. I'm on their school computer. I'm so 178 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: not solicited unsolicited. Somebody started sending all the kids videos that, 179 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: for instance, said, you know, it's okay if they claimed 180 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: you're a boy to be a girl because they get 181 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: it wrong at birth. All the time, I will read 182 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: this simple text of the decision. 183 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: God, once you say that to a small kid, you've 184 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: warped them forever. 185 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: Yes you have, and they know it. It's intentional. All right, 186 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 2: I'm just going to read from the decision because you know, well, 187 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: I keep going off. But in the months that followed 188 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 2: the assignment, the student school Google accounts started receiving quote 189 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: unsolicited LGBTQ themed video suggestions on their school issued computer. 190 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: After watching these clips, the student began questioning whether quote 191 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: they might be attracted to girls, of course, and whether 192 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: they quote had gender identity issues. Of course, this had never, ever, 193 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: ever been a thing in the family, he says, departing 194 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: from the decision again until it was it was suggested 195 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: and promoted by the school. By December of twenty the 196 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: student sought out their teacher, Bonnie Manchester, to have a 197 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 2: meeting to discuss some personal issues. At that meeting, the 198 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: student indicated they were depressed and struggling with insecurity what 199 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: is an eleven year old girl that's never happened before, 200 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: low self esteem, self image, and a perceived lack of popularity. 201 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: Oh no again a first in history. The student told 202 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: Manchester they needed help, but they were unsure of how 203 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: to ask their parents about getting that help. Manchester offered 204 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: to call the student's parents, and after reviewing the student's 205 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 2: situation with other teachers during school planning meeting, hearing other 206 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: teachers agreed that the students seemed depressed. Manchester contacted the parents. 207 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: Then they talked about the depressed thing and may have 208 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: been attracted to members of the same sex, and Mom 209 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: was grateful that Manchester reached out so that she and 210 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: the father could address the mental health issues. Then at 211 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: some length it gets too unbeknownst to the parents, I'm 212 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: skipping a bit. In February twenty eighth of twenty one, 213 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: the email sent to Baird's teachers in the school of 214 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: counselor Marie Claire Foley and a superintendent Gaza, the student announced, 215 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: I am gender queer. This is an eleven year old 216 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: pre pubescent girl or previous girl. According to the student's 217 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 2: email declaration, that meant that the student would use any 218 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: pronoun other than it it's and it also meant that 219 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: the student preferred a name change. They asked to go 220 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: by the name, you know, Rick, instead of Betty or whatever. 221 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: Upon receipt of the email and after meeting privately with student, 222 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: they decided essentially, hey, it's not necessary to tell the parents, 223 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: and indeed call her Betty and she when communicating with 224 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: the students, but during school it's Rick, and it's he 225 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: him God. 226 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: I would be so beside myself with anger. You'd have 227 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 4: to put it aside because you got to deal with 228 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,599 Speaker 4: your kid. But they introduced this. Otherwise none of it 229 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 4: would have happened, none of it, and then undoing it 230 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 4: would be so difficult, could take years, and could really 231 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 4: damage your relationship with your kid. 232 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: And we're up against a break. But just to fully, 233 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: you know, sketch out what happened here. When it was depressions, 234 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: low self esteem, the teachers quite appropriately said, Hey, we 235 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: ought to let mom and dad know this is going on. 236 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: But the moment it became radical gender theory, gender bending madness, 237 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: it was time to hush up and keep this between us. Insidious, 238 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 2: effing evil farmtraw. 239 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Hey, Yeddie, it's absolutely bizarre. Imagine a new mom holding 240 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: her beautiful baby in a nurse pops in and says, Mama, 241 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: you're doing great. By the way, is baby a questioning lesbian? 242 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the kind of stuff. This is 243 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: why so many Democrats flogged the vote for Donald Trump, 244 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: because the left is so far left. I mean, they're 245 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: out in orbit. 246 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: What was that story we had, Katie?

If 290 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 4: you haven't heard just stay to him. 291 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 2: Armstrong and getty. 292 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: Tesla stock is wayed out, almost disastrously, so. 293 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: People people have been. 294 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 5: Realizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles, Please don't vandalize, don't 295 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 5: ever vandalize Tesla. 296 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: Vehicles, and so. 297 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: Taken by many is kind of a wink and a 298 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: nod of feel free or isn't that great or whatever? 299 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: How about the crowd cheering that? Yeah, yeah, that gets 300 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: back to that incredible divide we have in American society 301 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: and politics now between a certain crowd young female, college 302 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: degree et cetera, mostly grad students, and everybody else. 303 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 4: And then but just then, you know the what interest 304 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 4: rank above what other interests? Because that crowd at Jimmy Kimmel, 305 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 4: I guarantee you, is almost entirely climate change is the 306 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 4: biggest problem we've got in the world. People who a 307 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 4: bigger percentage of Jimmy Kimmel's crowd there drives an electric 308 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 4: car by one hundredfold than the average population, I guarantee you. 309 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 4: Yet they're cheering the demise of, or their hope to 310 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: demise of the most really the only popular electric car 311 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 4: company that's ever existed in America, which is just so 312 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 4: weird the politics of it. So you've ranked hating Donald 313 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 4: Trump because I don't actually believe you're that concerned about 314 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 4: government cutbacks. I don't believe it. No, So it's just 315 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 4: it's just the old fashion. You hate Trump, so you're 316 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 4: a critical you're ranking your hatred of Trump above climate change, 317 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 4: which you've been trying to tell us for a long 318 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 4: time is the biggest threat to mankind that has ever existed. 319 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 4: And if you don't take it seriously or some sort 320 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 4: of crazy anti science weirdo, a monster. So you got 321 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: that angle of it, which is really interesting. And of course, 322 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: if anybody on the right did a wink and a 323 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 4: nod toward destroying I don't know if Sean Hannity is 324 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 4: this did the same thing about Target back when Target 325 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 4: had trans bathing suits in it or whatever. Don't destroy targets, 326 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 4: I mean, really don't destroy them. Uh, would have been 327 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 4: called out. Another thing about Tesla. Interestingly enough, this is 328 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 4: not good news for Tesla. It doesn't help anything. And 329 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: you'll hear it on the news all day long today. 330 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 4: That just broke Tesla to recall most cyber trucks because 331 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: of and I saw this on the news the other day, 332 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: this panel that falls off the door. So this isn't 333 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 4: so it says in this Wall Street Journal article, this 334 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: is the eighth recall of the cyber truck since it 335 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 4: came out. I think all the rest of them are 336 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 4: software things, so they fix them. I get things fixed 337 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 4: through the software on my Tesla every night while asleep. 338 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: I don't even know what happened, but they call that 339 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 4: a recall, even though. 340 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: It's not a recall. They just update the software they changed. 341 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 4: But this, a part of the door is actually falling off, 342 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 4: and so this will be great fodder. Guarantee you. I'd 343 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 4: be shocked if all three hosts don't make a joke 344 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 4: about that tonight on the late night talk shows, because 345 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 4: that's a bad look. 346 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: You know. 347 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 4: This stat most alleged Tesla charger vandals have one thing 348 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 4: in common. 349 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: She they pronouns. 350 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 4: Three out of four Tesla facility and charger vandals so 351 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: far arrested across the country have been identified as transgender 352 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: or non binary. 353 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: And the US right what I was talking about yesterday, 354 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 2: Neo Marxism radicalizes every minority, including sexual minorities.

Here is 369 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 4: John Miller, formerly of the FBI, now a commentator in CNN. 370 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 6: If you take all the politics out of it and 371 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 6: you go by the pure FBI definition of domestic terrorism, 372 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 6: it is the use of fear of violence, property destruction 373 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 6: to coerce somebody on a political issue. So if this 374 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 6: is to attack Elon Musk because of his relationship and 375 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 6: actions on behalf of Donald Trump, it would qualify based 376 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 6: on the definition. 377 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: How about John Miller. 378 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: How about John Miller feeling like he's got to put 379 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: the qualification if you take the politics out of it, What. 380 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 2: If you take the politics out of political violence?

Don't hurt me for this. But right, 383 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: even though it's against Trump, and he cringes and covers 384 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: himself up, this is domestic terrorism. Wow, he had arrest 385 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: these people.

Well, yeah, that's 393 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 2: that's right. No, you don't get to say. On the 394 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: other hand, I'm right, no, John, that's not a thing. 395 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 2: But again he's terrified by you know, his coworkers and 396 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: probably his friends. 397 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: The New York Times blaming Musk for the terrorist attacks 398 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 4: directed at him with a paragraph about all the attacks 399 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 4: that have happened on Tesla's and Tesla dealerships and charging 400 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 4: stations across the country. For some, the deal breaker came 401 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 4: when mister Musk made a gesture that resembled a fashion 402 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 4: salute while speaking at a rally for Donald Trump. So 403 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 4: the New York Times saying, well, that's the deal breaker, 404 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 4: and they're insinuating that, Yeah, you can't blame him. I mean, 405 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 4: come on, because Elon, you know, he made the Hitler salute. 406 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 2: So Nazi Tervian.

I mean, if you want 409 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 4: to say people are angry about Doge just to explain 410 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 4: the climate that we're in, fine, but you're leaning way 411 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 4: too hard toward Elon brought this on himself. 412 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: Right, there's not good. There's being wrong, there's being wildly wrong. 413 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: Then there's being a clown.

And obviously it's not 505 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 4: just the eating alone part. 506 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: It's the finally the spotlight's off, drinking alone. 507 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 4: It's not the fact that you're dining alone, because that 508 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 4: in itself is no big deal. It's just if you're 509 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: regularly eating alone, it says a lot about your lifestyle. Yeah, which, 510 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 4: like I wonder how many times I should ask my parents. 511 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 4: I wonder how many times my dad's ever eat alone 512 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 4: is life because you know, back in the day when 513 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 4: you got married young, or my mom would be a 514 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 4: better example. She had me when she's twenty two. She 515 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: may never going from parents to college to married with 516 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 4: kids as opposed to you. You know, you stay unmarried 517 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 4: maybe forever or in your thirties or forties and no 518 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: kids and don't date, and lots and lots and lots 519 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 4: and lots of meals, eating alone, which means watching TV alone, 520 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 4: which means going to bed alone, which means waking up alone, 521 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 4: which might mean vacationing alone, all kinds of different things. 522 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: And you're not living a version of like friends where 523 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: you're constantly meeting your friends at the coffee shot in 524 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 2: the cafe and probably not. Yeah, oh man, where's it. 525 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: I just came across another great think piece about how 526 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: we become a nation of loaners and I can't remember 527 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: what the term was they used, but yeah, things are weird, 528 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: you know. My final thought today, I'm actually going to 529 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: seed my final thoughts at the next for the next 530 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: two days to one of my favorite authors but addresses 531 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 2: some of this. 532 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 4: Speaking of authors, I was all excited about Jake Tapper's 533 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 4: book which was released today about the inside story of 534 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 4: Joe Biden secretly behind the scenes, his brain wasn't working 535 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 4: so good and they pulled off a trick and nobody 536 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 4: knew crazy cover up except for everybody. But anyway, he's 537 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 4: got a book out about that, and I ordered it, 538 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 4: pre ordered it on Kindle and adn't shown up yet. 539 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 4: I'm quite angry about it. I think it's some sort 540 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 4: of breakdown with Amazon because it came out. Hopefully i'll 541 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 4: have it tomorrow and have some of the highlights. 542 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: Some people seem to be getting around prohibition by Al Capone. 543 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 2: Jake Tapper, you should be ashamed. 544 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 4: Wow, I get to it. I understand what you Yeah, 545 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 4: I see what I'm saying there. Yeah, I understand the 546 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 4: point you were making. 547 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: Back to the happiness thing. 548 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 4: And we talked about this quite a bit a week 549 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 4: or so ago in the Dalai Lama's book The Art 550 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: of Joy and All That is this. It's interesting that 551 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 4: as human beings were built to do all kinds of 552 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 4: things that make us less happy, we just are and 553 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 4: you have to overcome your desire to do things that 554 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 4: ultimately will make you less happy, like eating too much 555 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 4: or indulging this or that. 556 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's an evolution thing or a 557 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: it's a modern world thing. Keeping in mind that if 558 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 2: humans whole existence is twenty four hours, the internet, for instance, 559 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: smartphones came into being at eleven to fifty nine and 560 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 2: fifty nine seconds. Right. The idea that we haven't quite 561 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 2: figured it out is, well, it's not that shocking how 562 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: much time we got. Michael. Let's go to it early, 563 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: because this final thought is worth here. You give it 564 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 2: plenty of time.

It's weird. All right. Hey, let's get 568 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap 569 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: things up for the day. There is our technical director, Michaelangelow. 570 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 7: Michael, you know, I've made a real effort to be 571 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 7: happy for every little thing that i have, very very grateful. 572 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 7: But now that Jack has pointed out there's a ninety 573 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 7: eight inch TV at Costco, I'm not real. 574 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: Happy until you have ruined it. He ruined it, Katie 575 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: Green are esteemed to use women as a final thought, 576 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Katie kind of along those lines, Jack, thanks a lot 577 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: for that ninety eight inch TV comment, because now my 578 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: husband's aware of it and won't. 579 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 4: Stop waitly see the truth. Wally, you gotta go to 580 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 4: Costco this weekend? What do you see in person? 581 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 2: Ugh? Jack? A final thought you'd like to share is 582 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: March Madness as big as it used to be? 583 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 4: I don't actually know statistically, I'm sure I could look 584 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 4: into it, but I just saw an ad for March 585 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 4: Madness feating basketball stars. The average age had to be 586 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 4: in the low seventies on this ad. You'd have to 587 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 4: be my age and older to know who these people are. 588 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 4: So kind of feel like they believe their demographics are 589 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 4: pretty old. My final thought I love. Caitlyn Flanagan is 590 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 4: a staff writer at the Atlantic. She writes about women 591 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 4: and stuff. She's very funny, very smart, and very grounded. 592 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 4: She says what follows. 593 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 2: The Internet did not arrive like a wave, allowing us 594 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: to take time to think about our humanity before we 595 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: put our toes in the water. It arrived like a flood, 596 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: and we've been drowning in it for more than a 597 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: quarter century. It keeps taking our souls away from us. 598 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: Every passing year. We're less of who we were Soon 599 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: there won't be much of us left at all. The 600 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 2: only thing that can save us is a great unplugging, 601 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 2: but we'll never do that. We live it down here, 602 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 2: We love it down here under the dark water. 603 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 4: Uh No, we'll never unplug it. So yeah, and then 604 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 4: the generation that remembers pre internet and smartphones. 605 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 2: Will be dead before you know it, and. 606 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: There will be nothing great it was. There will be 607 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 4: nothing to compare it to. No young, younger person will 608 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 4: even remember that it was any different. 609 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: It's the Death of Joy Jack my new Quickie Tak 610 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: show host book.
