WEBVTT - Woolite Is So Exciting

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty arm Strong

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and Jetty and he Armstrong and Htty. Trump and Elon's

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>feud has calmed down a bit.

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>The two still aren't speaking, but they did release this

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>music video today.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Check this out. You didn't have.

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>To make out like it doesn't happen and that we

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>were nothing.

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>It's just that I don't need that boat now.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>You're just somebody that I used to no get out.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm assuming that's a take on some popular song.

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. And I also I'm assuming the visuals

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>were great on that. Oh it's correct. Did you see

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the and there's probably fifty of them out there, but

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I saw one AI production that was amazing. It was

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>quite long too, about Trump and Elon coming apart and

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>growing older, and then throughout the video they both aged

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and became old men. Elon was on Mars as an

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>old man missing Trump. Trump was an old man golfing

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and watching Fox TV, and he missed an old man

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>golfing now this week watching Fox TV. Trump was an

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>old man. And then they about how they miss each

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>other the thing must have been three minutes long. And

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>then they then then Elon comes back to Earth and

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>they get back together and skip down the road together.

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, it was incredible. It would like it

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>would have cost it had it would have cost fifty

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>million dollars to make that, you know, five years ago.

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just it was amazing.

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, it's funny, just as in aside. A

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 3>listener recommended a particular video creation AI thing to play

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>around with, and I was tempted. But we happen to

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>have an internet outage last night at the house kind

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>of a local probel. My god, is everybody okay?

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I know?

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>And my evening was planned out. I was going to

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 3>watch the news, then I was going to watch some

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 3>fun stuff. And I thought, oh my god, what do

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I do?

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>What do I do? And I'll tell you what I did.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 3>I had a glass of Pinot noir and I read

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 3>a book about the Battle of Port Royal, a naval

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 3>battle in the Civil War, and I was, oh, And

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 3>when my eyes were kind of tired and I didn't

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>want to read anymore, I reenacted my teenage years. I

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 3>put on some headphones and listened to one of my

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 3>favorite albums with my eyes closed, and I was as

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 3>happy as a person can be.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Ah, that can't be better than scrolling through Twitter. Oh,

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>looking at stuff you don't even care about, just kind

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>of out a habit, taking in plenty kind of makes

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you mad, or kind of taken in a bunch of

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>blue light that will help your sleep be bad. God,

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>dang it, stop, I've got to stop this. Yeah, I know.

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think about most of my life like up until

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago, when it was always always,

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>always quiet in a room with a book reading until

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I got sleepy enough to go to sleep. And just

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>when I think of it, it's like relaxing to think

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>about compared to what I do every night now. Like

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you said earlier, it's almost like it's an addiction. Anyway,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>enough of that, these two clips will bring you up

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to speed on where we are with the Elon Trump

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship if you care.

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 4>The real switch up from last week's very public social

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 4>media sparring match, Elon Musk now saying his comments went

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 4>too far. Overnight around three am Eastern really in the

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 4>middle of the night, Musk posted this on x saying

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 4>he regrets some of his posts about President Donald Trump.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't really thought about it. Actually, I would imagine

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and he wants to speak to me, I would think

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>so if I were, I'd want to speak to me.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>But I maybe it's already called. You'd have to ask him,

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>ask him whether or not he's already called. But I'd

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 2>have no problem with it.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I thought, I'm sorry, I want him to speak to me.

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't be the only one who that struck is

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 3>you come to me on the day of my daughter's

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 3>wedding and you asked me.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>For a favor. I was thinking about this the other

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>day before this even happened. Of I'm sure they both

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>have to It's like it's like laying down a meeting

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>between Gorbachev and Reagan, the amount of groundwork that would

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>have to be laid, because you couldn't have either one

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>of them in a situation where you called and didn't

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>get through and word comes out that you tried to

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>call and they didn't take your call. Cannot have that

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>on either end. That's the one thing I'm not having.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>If I'm Elan or Trump, the news story is not

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be I tried to call and he wouldn't

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>take my call. No right line needs to be open.

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Ten different people need to test the line that it

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>is open. We need to have visuals on us both

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>walking toward the phone, like it's a hostage exchange or something.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>We both come to phone at the same time, so

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that one person can't back out and the other end claim.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>He tried to call me and apologized, but I didn't

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>take his call. So let me reread the tweet.

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 3>I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>last week.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>They went too far.

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm picturing Elon Musk tied to a chair in a

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 3>basement room with the combined boards of directors of SpaceX

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 3>and Tesla with like hammers and blowtorches, saying you're sending

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 3>that that tweet.

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.799
<v Speaker 1>It could be or he could just plain have thought

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't have said that. That whole Epstein thing was

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>probably too much. He set that out at midnight last night. Man,

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>what is his lifestyle? And with all those cat do

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>you have? I went up at all. He was a

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>feeding He's got that new baby. See that, giving his

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>wife a break and feeding that new baby.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>You think, Hey, are you in the mood for a

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 3>little conspiratorial speculation.

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>As long as we're going down that road. Are we

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 1>talking chemtrails? No?

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>No, I have heard nobody talking about this, but Barton

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Swam whose young buck, who rights for the Wall Street

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Journal a tweet jd Vance put out the other day

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 3>in support of Trump, and it was during the height

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 3>of the Trump Musk feud and swam rights It wasn't

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 3>the cleverest pronouncement blah blah blah, but the most absorbing.

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I refer to J. D Vance's two sentence tweet quote.

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 3>President Trump has done more than any person in my

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 3>lifetime to earn the trust of the movement, he leads,

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm proud to stand behind him, and Barton points out

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 3>that message was posted Thursday, the day of the breakup,

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 3>but not till ten thirty at night, seven hours after

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Elon Musk replied yes to a post calling for mister

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Trump's impeachment, which he later deleted. And of course that

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 3>impeachment would have led to J. D. Evans being the president,

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 3>and that's Harder says, that's a very good point. It's

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>funny I'd had to escaped me. Of course, that's what

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 3>would happen. How many Democrats what JD Vance as president

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 3>with a full head of steem as he runs for

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 3>reelection in twenty eight I would have counseled the Vice

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 3>president to say nothing. The spat didn't involve him, and

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 3>the unseerious message about impeachment plainly didn't deserve a vice

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 3>presidential statement. Yet he evidently consulted AIDS and pondered the

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 3>matter for seven hours. The resulting declaration was perfect in

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 3>its impropriety and meladroitness, meaning uselessness. Essentially, start with the

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 3>first sentence. All seems conventional until you're almost through it.

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you expect mister Vance to say? What you

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 3>expect mister Vance to say is that Trump has done

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 3>more than anyone to earn the trust of the American people,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 3>or the nation or some such. Instead, he says, the

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 3>president has earned the trust of the movement. Which movement

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 3>not I think what used to be called a conservative movement,

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 3>which was Reagan and I to blah blah blah blah.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 3>The only movement mister Trump has led is the Mega movement.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Mister Trump created the MAGA movement, and there's some doubt

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>it would survive without him. How odd then, for the

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Vice president to say, mister Trump has done more than

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 3>any person in my lifetime to earn that movement's trust

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 3>is if there were a range of competitors for that distinction.

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 3>The second sentence also sounds off key. Mister Vance isn't

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 3>a political ally or a supporter of the president. He's

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 3>mister Trump's constitutionally designated successor. Why would he need to

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 3>tell us that he's proud to stand behind beside the president?

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Is his pride relevant? For some reason?

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Did mister Trump say or do something requiring mister Vance

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 3>to affirm his loyalty? What's remarkable about the post is

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>how coldly measured it is.

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 1>He it was I thought, I thought because he went

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to did he go to a Yale Law school or

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Harvard Law School, Harvard Law.

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Harvard undergrad, Yale Law. Maybe I don't know, something like that,

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 3>but anyway, he's an ivy league lawyer. That was written

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 3>like a lawyer. Yeah, I mean the words were chosen carefully.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 3>And then many quotes Proverbs ten nineteen in a multitude

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 3>of words there wanteth not sin, which is a verse

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 3>I'd never heard before. I don't recall it, and it's

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 3>ironic given the way we make our living. But to

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 3>translate at Jack, your hostital to your new translations.

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm a King James version. If they're a bunch, that's right, sir.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 3>If there are lots and lots of words, you're gonna

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 3>find sin in there, or there's probably bull crap in there.

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 3>What's the phrase in a multitude of words there, wanteth

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:57.439
<v Speaker 3>not sin?

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Interesting? That is one of the problems the King James

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>version of the Bible is regularly have no idea what

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's said. That's a criticism. But the words are flowery, okay, cool,

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>coming up. I have breaking BTS news, that's right. The

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>k pop band Good Lord. Also the saddest thing I

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>is so sad. I only read like the first paragraph

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and I had to stop. Oh and and not like,

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, a horrible crime or something, and just it'll

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>make sense when I tell you, among other things, on

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the way to stay here, I told you I had

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>breaking VTS news, the k pop band. I've tried to

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>listen to k pop and give it a you know,

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 1>a decent shake, just not my thing, which is fine.

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Different what do they say, strokes for folks or something

0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like that. But I did think this was damned interesting.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>They finished their mandatory military service there in South Korea,

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that's why you haven't heard much about them for the

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>past two years, and now are going to get to

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>go back to doing their music now. I don't know

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>if because they've like aged by two years, that there's

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>another K pop band that is much more popular and

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a bigger deal. But I mean, they like have the

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>biggest selling albums of all time worldwide and all kinds

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of ridiculous records, but they that had I'm sure I'd

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>known that at some point, but I'd forgotten. They have

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>mandatory military service for I think a year and a

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>half for all young people coming out of high school,

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>which has been you know, discussed many times in this country.

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be great for everybody for all kinds

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:47.079
<v Speaker 1>of things.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, libertarians hate you for saying that they'rerible

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 3>compulsory service. Oh my, I just hope their drill sergeants

0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 3>didn't beat the cutely am triagonousness out of them.

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Two members of the K pop Sensation BTS have completed

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>their mandatory year and a half military service in South Korea,

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>leaving their base to the roars of fans counting down

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>for the supergroup's reunion. Yeah, well, obviously that's where it

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>gets difficult. Is the whole mandatory government anything? But I

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>wonder if you could get it going culturally. Probably not,

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>but it wouldn't have to be military service, just some

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of service, you know you, I don't know, Yeah,

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>serve meals at an old folks home, or pick up

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>traction the dishes. I don't know what it would be,

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's worth brainstorming on. Yeah, why not some point

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 1>we probably out of truck. I definitely want to talk

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>about the military parade that Trump's going to have this weekend.

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not something we've normally done in this country, and

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>whether you're forard or against it, and some people coming

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>out on both sides. Also Trump ordering the renaming of

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the military bases back to the old names, including you know,

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>military base named after Robert E. Lee, all that sort

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. Announce it, Confederate generals, Yeah, announce that. Thank you.

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>We got to get back. What's the other thing I

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>teased that I definitely wanted to get on. Do you

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 1>remember what it was? Anybody?

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, the Simone Biles thing? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I can find that. Simone Biles

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and Riley Gaines have been at it with each other

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>started last week. We talked about it here on the air,

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and basically, Simone Biles came out in favor of well,

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 1>blasting Riley Gaines for being a hater in transphone make

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and transphobic and back, bad for sports and everything.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.599
<v Speaker 3>And a sore loser because she got beat by a

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 3>six foot four inch mail.

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>By wanting to get dudes out of girls sports and

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>can't understand what's going on. Riley Gaines blasted back with

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>her usual, to my mind, very reasonable comments about why

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't have dudes competing against girls anyway, and a

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 1>lengthy post and it's some people believe really done a

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of damage Simone Bio's ability to make money as

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a pitch person going forward. I happen to know something

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 1>about her agents, and I think they pooped a brick.

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Whether you know it's pitching at and T cell phone

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>service or Tide or whatever she's going to do.

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 3>You will think of this every time I hear her

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 3>name or see her face for years. I wouldn't touch her.

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 3>There's too many other options. There's too many other options

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 3>that don't have baggage. Why would you choose her? So

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 3>she might be trying to clean that up.

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I think she wanted to address how the current because

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>last week she addressed how the current system doesn't adequately

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>balance principles such as well, I'll just read it. I

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I've always

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>believed competitive equity and inclusivity are both essential in sport,

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>meaningless words you have when did you spend a lot

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of time twisting to gy rting through in the air

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to beat other people? Thinking I sure hope there's

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>competitive equity and inclusivity going on here? Really didn't come

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>up a lot in my life. But anyway, the current

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>system doesn't adequately balance these important principles, which often leads

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn't help for

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 3>So first you blame the circumstance for causing heated exchanges,

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you don't take responsibility for it, and then you apologize

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 3>for something that was caused by something else than wasn't

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 3>your fault. She claims she's standing up for fair competition.

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Dudes whooping up on girls in sports? Okay, someone.

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>That's so weak.

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 5>I just.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I just I try to understand that point of view,

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't under I don't. I can't get there.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's what you lack. And I've been trying to get

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>fully get.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 3>A lot of these people. And I don't think Simone

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Biles is a bad person at all. I think, you know,

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 3>if you were to put her through ten different moral tests,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I think she'd do just fine. The thing people like

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 3>us can't feel, and I think a lot of y'all

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 3>answer to this description too, is the desperate need to

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 3>say what you think you're supposed to say, the social

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 3>pressure you feel to go along with the conventional opinion

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 3>of your social group.

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I mean I would.

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 3>You might force me to mouth the words of some

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 3>of this stuff, but man, it would come out of

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 3>my mouth.

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I would be sickened.

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 3>I think somebody like Simone Biles is so enthusiastic about

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 3>going along with her peer group and the bubbles she's in.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't feel any particular shame or feel bad about

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 3>saying something she knows to be illogical.

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Yesh, she feels it so intensely, the need to go along.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know how intelligent she is or isn't.

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>She might be super super bright. But I'm sure because

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to be that kind of athlete, she's dedicated every moment

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of her life to gymnastics, not you know, cultural political issues. Right. Yeah,

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get to the saddest thing I've ever read.

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I will get to it in the next half hour.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh something to look forward to.

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of hyperbole, the most deluded man in America, completely delusional.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll share his thoughts, Armstrong and getty.

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 6>When I asked yesterday if borders are Tom Holman should

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 6>arrest California Governor Gavin Ussen, President Trump said he would

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 6>do it and added, quote, I like Gavin Newssen. He's

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 6>a nice guy, but he's grossly incompetent.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 5>Ah.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 6>Yes, the old compliment, compliment, searing insult. Imagine Trump giving

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 6>a eulogy super guy will be greatly miss world's tiniest penis.

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>That is his pattern, which I'd never completely noticed before. Compliment, compliment,

0:17:54.680 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>searing insult. Yeah, well that in the whole we get along, well,

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>we get along well, I like him. Nobody cares if

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 1>you get along well or you like somebody. It's not anyway.

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Coming up's me crazy, coming up. The saddest thing I've

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 1>ever read about summertime and Elon with a huge TESLA

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>announcement got nothing to do with politics at all, which, man,

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>if he's not, that's not a coincidence. Oh interesting, we'll

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>talk about that then. I guess. Yeah, let's see, Michael.

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I need? I really need some Gavin

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Newsom give me sixty.

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 5>This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.879
<v Speaker 5>a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and even

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 5>our National Guard at risk.

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 3>And especially so because everything was going fine and it

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 3>was perfectly peaceful. According to one of America's leading inflexts,

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Maxine Waters.

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't think that somehow because they called out the National Guard,

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 1>there was violence. There was no violence. I was on

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the street. I know.

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Maxine Waters claiming there was no violence in Los Angeles.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Zero. Good lord. Anyway, moving along, I mentioned earlier that

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the current, the talking point of the last twenty four

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>hours is it's just a tiny part of LA It

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was a very small part of La. La is five

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred square miles. This is one square mile where they

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>had a rest, to which my response is Washington, d C.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>January sixth, Washington, d C was Placid one building, people

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>were beaten down, cops with flag poles and trying to

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>go in and kill Nancy Belosi one building. The rest

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>of DC was fine.

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh it was calm as the reflecting pools there, everything

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 3>that was fine. So a couple of things of note.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Molly Ball on the Wall Street Journal interviewing Gavey knew

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 3>some about how he clearly is using this to steer

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 3>toward the twenty eight, twenty twenty eight candidacy for president.

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And I love Gabby's quote daring Trump to arrest him.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go.

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.960
<v Speaker 3>You need a scalp, You need to show your tough guy,

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 3>need to show your base. You're going to own the Libs.

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you just get it over with. Arrest me,

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:16.679
<v Speaker 3>but stop attacking these vulnerable people. Then, surveying the landscape

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 3>from the cross he'd hauled himself up on, Gavin Newsom

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 3>announced his candidacy, absolutely hilarious, saying his usual stuff. Tom

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Cotton responding with an editorial, send in the troops for real.

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 3>When local police can't restore order, the federal government has

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 3>a duty to do so with a show of force.

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent appropriate, one hundred percent legal. Andy McCarthy

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the National Review, who is a great legal commentator, agrees

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 3>with him. There's going to be hearing tomorrow. I guess

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 3>about the legality of this.

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.679
<v Speaker 1>You moved on too fast from Gavin up on the cross.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, the thief next to him

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>said nice hair. That's really good. That's really good.

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Which brings us to the most delusional man in America.

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 3>And I was thinking of setting this up by telling

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 3>you why I'm bringing this to you, but I thought, no, no,

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 3>I think you'll get there on your own. And this

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>is both for cal Unicornians and the rest of the country.

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 3>And it'll take a second.

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>But bear with me.

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 3>This is written by a fellow by the name of

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Jim Newton, who worked at the La Times for twenty

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 3>five years as a reporter, editor and columnist. Currently edits

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the Some magazine at UCLA. So he's moved into academia

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 3>and he's got an upcoming book about the Grateful Dead.

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, not that that matters, but twenty five years at

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the La Times.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 3>The title of his piece for Politico is why Donald

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Trump had to attack California. There's much more at stake

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 3>for Trump and Californians than deportations, and Jack, you got it.

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:56.719
<v Speaker 1>You gotta tune into this now.

0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 3>President Donald Trump and his supporters are right about what

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 3>thing in this explosive clash between California federal government. It's

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 3>not just a fight over position or even public safety.

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.199
<v Speaker 3>It's about values, and it's been a long time building

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:10.120
<v Speaker 3>for Trump.

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a battle of.

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.640
<v Speaker 3>His choosing, giving him the opportunity to escalate a conflict

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 3>on a signature issue, immigration in the city and state

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 3>governed by political adversaries so far, absolutely true for California.

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.360
<v Speaker 3>It is the logical result of a long and profound

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 3>transformation from the days of Republican Party dominance to Democratic

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 3>party control, one I've watched and chronicled for more than

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 3>thirty years, in that I now see culminating in literal

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 3>fighting in the streets. Californians are turning out against forces

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 3>sent here by guardians of a value system that the

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 3>state has rejected. And then he goes how not very

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 3>long ago California was a solid Republican state. Hiram Johnson,

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Earl Warren, Ronald Reagan, stalwarts of the GOP.

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.160
<v Speaker 1>WOW. I don't know if I agree with not very

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>long ago, but I mean it's not eons ago.

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, seventy five years, yeah, sixty years, depending on

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 3>who you're talking about. But a few years later, when

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 3>Pat Brown was re selected to his second term in

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.159
<v Speaker 3>nineteen sixty two, he was the first Democrat ever to

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 3>win the governorship twice, that changed. And then he goes

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 3>into how staunchly Democrat California.

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Is now except for the great, the honored Devis.

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 3>And he goes in Arnold, who was an anomaly and

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 3>he really was a celebrity during a weird recall election.

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Governor is a centrist kind of And now he gets

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 3>into how there are no Republicans who are mayors of

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 3>any city, no Republicans in any statewide office.

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>None.

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Many forces have propelled that shift, but chief among them

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 3>are the party's divergent approaches to environmental and immigration, shifting demographics,

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah, reverence for the coastlines, and I wish

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 3>I had time to read this whole thing.

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 1>He gets into changing demographics. His argument is essentially.

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 3>All that is true, and thank god, the California of

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five is so much better than the California

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 3>of the fifties, the sixties, the California dream the seventies, expansion, prosperity, innovation,

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 3>the eighties, that was a nightmare, the streets of Los

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Angeles and San Francisco and Sacramento and San Diego, which

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 3>is decaying. We don't talk about that much. The currents

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 3>in California is so much better now. This is the

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 3>California of our dreams. That's his point. And I see

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 3>the wide eyes and slack jaws of people who've either

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 3>who live in California, visit California, know of California, thinking,

0:24:54.119 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 3>whoa dude, this is your ideal. Yes, he's proudly right that.

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>With people moving out for the first time in the

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 1>state's history.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, crime rampant in the streets, needles everywhere, human feces,

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 3>junkie camps, felon's being released from prisons, the schools indoctrinating

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 3>your children about radical transsexual theory in the third grade. Finally,

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 3>the era of Reagan's California has been put to bed

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 3>and our utopia is here.

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap. We should decide as a show whether it

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>does us more harm or could to mention the human

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>feces on the sidewalks in California, because while it's true

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and a significant problems and uh, you know, is definitely

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>a sign of things aren't going well in your town.

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yes, most of you listening have never seen

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that on the sidewalk ever in your life.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 3>You are really making the case for why we ought

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 3>to mention it. Where's the flip side?

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Disgusting Every time someone says that, that's why we're talking

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 1>about it's horrified. I almost unswallow. Yeah, poop, poop, poop poop.

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Johnny Depp. Johnny's man enough to take on

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 3>the challenges of today, Jack, are you?

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Sam and I walked around some in San Francisco last

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.440
<v Speaker 1>time we were there, and I was just remarking to

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:26.200
<v Speaker 1>him on how that is just so crazy that in

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the modern world that would ever happen.

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 3>California is a staunchly Democrat has it was republic and

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 3>a flip and orientation and it has become what it's

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 3>always meant to be, says Jim Newton in Politico.

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm about to talk about Elon in some

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>big announcement he made about Tesla. I wish we could

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>do some sort of counterfactual, uh, you know, parallel universe

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 1>where Silicon Valley had happened completely in Austin instead of

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 1>in the Bay Area, more or less by acts, because

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>that has propped up so much of the finances of

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>this state. If it had just happened to happen in California,

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>where were we of bed.

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 3>The revenue from Google and Meta and a couple other

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 3>super giants Apple, they prop up the socialist government of California.

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Right. Absolutely a sad piece I read about summers that

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to dwell on, but it's worth pointing out,

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 1>among other things on the way stay here.

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 7>Just days after the horrific fire bombing targeting Jewish demonstrators

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.919
<v Speaker 7>in Boulder, Colorado, and the deadly shooting of two Israeli

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 7>embassy employees in Washington, d C. Tonight, authorities unsealing new

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 7>charges in an alleged plot targeting Jews in New York City.

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 7>Federal prosecutors say a twenty year old Pakistani national wanted

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 7>to carry out a coordinator attack with AR fifteen style

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 7>rifles on a Jewish center in Brooklyn in the name

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 7>of ice. The FBI, quoting the suspect, Mohammed Khan, is

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 7>saying New York is perfect to target Jews. Even if

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:08.959
<v Speaker 7>we don't attack an event, we could rack up easily

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 7>a lot of Jews.

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>We are going to NYC to slaughter them, Mohammed. You

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 1>say there was a terrorist plot they stopped. Also a

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.239
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, guy who was gonna shoot up

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of kids at a school. He hated

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:27.640
<v Speaker 1>these Jewish kids, and they stopped him. So, man, it's

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it's who. It could be a lot worse than it's Ben.

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 3>England is trying to deal with this by giving in.

0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 3>There's now in effect an anti blasphemy law in England.

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Man who burned a koran was convicted of a religiously

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 3>aggravated public order offense because the man's actions were intended

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 3>to cause harassment, alarm or distress. And as one writer

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 3>points out, it's a very slippery slope. You do realize

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 3>that among serious Muslims, a woman showing her hair can

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 3>cause alarm in distress, right, m good one.

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>England is trying to submit. So Elon was tweeting about

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Tesla last night. You think that that's not a coincidence

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that he apologized basically for his behavior against Trump and

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>is tweeting about the UH. Some of the advances in Tesla.

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I think his boards of directors mentioned your shareholders, dude.

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But they had breaking first ever Tesla model y robotaxi

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>with no one in the driver's seat spotted testing on

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 1>public roads in Austin, and Elon tweeted out, these are

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 1>unmodified Tesla cars coming straight from the factory, meaning that

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>every Tesla coming out of our factory is capable of

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>unsupervised self driving. It'll be ready sometime later this year

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>or next if that actually happens, all of us who

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have I think any Tesla in like the twenty three

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and on, certainly twenty four and on, is then able

0:29:55.480 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to be completely autonomous driving. That will be a major

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>change maybe in world history. Yeah. I mean one out

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of ten people drive in some aspect for a living,

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and that would mean the technology is here for that

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to be I just don't know if the you know,

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the insurance companies or the states are going to allow

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it to happen the way he's thinking. I don't know

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>if he thought that through or not. Yeah, it'll be

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 1>complicated in Thorny for sure. I just think he was

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to juice Tesla stock in excitement and that sort

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of thing. Yeah, he's yeah, I mean that they change

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the cameras. He's working toward it. He's been working toward

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it forever. I just don't know when it will actually

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 1>be ready to go. Last night, walking into the grocery

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>store with my son because we're out of milk, walking

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>down the aisle and I say, yes, they've got woolight here,

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>one bottle left, and I grabbed the bottle of woolight,

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and my thirteen year old said, is this what it's

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 1>like to be an adult?

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>My god, he's hilarious, and I thought, yeah, this is

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>what gets me excited. They had at a woolite left

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>at the grocery store. He's a thirteen year old son

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>about to enjoy summertime. And I had come across this

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>piece yesterday in the National Review, which I could only

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>read a couple of sentences of it's probably really well written,

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and I just thought I can't go there. Michael Brendan

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Doherty of National Review writing and he's got kids also

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 1>school age summers before screens and he gets into I

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know why this bothers me so much. It almost

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 1>chokes me up to think about it. He talks about

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 1>his summers and his kids summers and just how it's

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>never coming back, and you know they don't know what

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 1>they're missing, And he didn't. I don't know if he

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 1>makes the point because I said I didn't read the

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 1>whole thing because I thought it was too sad that

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 1>soon those of us who had summers before screens will

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>be dead and there will be nobody to even comment

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on comparing the two. But to summers after screens. We

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 1>all know everything after screens is different. And the we're

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>outside board and we make up a game with a

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:12.200
<v Speaker 1>ball and some basses and some rules is gone forever.

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It just is wow, and we play all day and

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>get sweaty and tired and laugh and argue. Yeah. And

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>it was head in that direction already because of the

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>weird worried our kids are going to be abducted or

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever the hell happened in the eighties and nineties and

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 1>two thousands, where I've told this story gazillion times. I

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>lived and this was twenty years ago. This is pre screens.

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I used to say this smartphones, and this was true.

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Then I lived near a giant park. I drove by

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that park multiple times a day for years. I never

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>one time, not once ever saw two kids out there

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>playing catch. Never or anybody's yard. Now. I saw organized

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>soccer matches with all the parents on the sidelines with

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the pop up tents, but I never saw two kids

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>playing catch or shooting hoops ever. It just it's gone away.

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And then you add in screens with you know you're

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna you're gonna play video games or stare at your screen,

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and I just and what I was wondering, is is

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it just nostalgia? Is it just you know, my youth

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>was better than your youth for some weird way, a

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>way we glorify the past or something, or is it

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>actually a step backwards. Oh, I think there's plenty of

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>objective data.

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean there're none of this, like in isolation is

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 3>a fatal disease, if you will, Because if you had

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 3>screens but also lots of free play, you know, lots

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 3>of autonomy, free range kids things, it'd be fine, it'd

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 3>work itself out. But it all, it all congeals into

0:33:51.400 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 3>this sort of passive directed by adults, non inventive, no risk,

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 3>you know activity. I think it's cool that your son

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 3>and others like him skateboard or did and risk injury

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 3>and get all bloody and scraped up and stuff like that.

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that's fantastic. Yeah. My oldest, luckily, is no

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>interest in video games and is super into riding his

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>bike and doing wheelies and stuff like that. But my

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:28.279
<v Speaker 1>youngest is more typical of the genre, likes video games

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and all that sort of stuff. So the title was

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Summer's Before Screens, and I just again text the text line,

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd be interested? Am I just you know, romanticizing in

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 1>a nostalgic sort of way or has something been lost

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:48.839
<v Speaker 1>with childhood? That's enough of that and weirds me out.

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Tony Hawk, the most famous skateboarder of all time, showed

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 1>up to a Texas skateboard park yesterday and started skating boarding,

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:00.759
<v Speaker 1>and people started recognize who he was and needed a

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>bunch of cool stuff.

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 3>How cool would that be, your young skateboarder kid? I

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 3>saw a commercial with him the other day and he's

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:08.959
<v Speaker 3>getting on in yours.

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>He's old, but he's still known in the same way

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that like Michael Jordan's known because of his products and

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>his name and his branding. He's still really known. But yeah,

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that'd be quite the charge. You're skateboarding on a summer

0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>afternoon and Tony Hawk is whipping around next to you.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it'd be like Jack Nicholas standing next to me

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 3>on the driving range. I think it would just put

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 3>my clubs away.

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not doing this. I'm not gonna let you

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>see me swing. But we do four hours every day.
