Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.

Speaker 1: Arm Strong and Jetty and no he Armstrong and Yetty.

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: That's going viral.

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: A woman in Wisconsin admitted to leaving something pretty unusual

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: at a movie theater.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: Take a look of this, an urn full of ashes

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: found in a movie theater in Wisconsin.

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: It appears the mystery has been solved.

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: The woman now as she left the urn there on purpose.

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: She says, the remains inside are those of her father.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: With whom she did not have a close relationship. She

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: didn't want the remains in her home.

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: So when she went to see a movie, she brought

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: the urn and dished it underneath seats where Beetlejuice.

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Beetlejuice was playing Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice one Moviego was like ern,

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was a promotional popcorn. Butchet, he's getting

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of cheese nuts. That's all I'm getting here.

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh geez, that's gross.

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Wow, what an interesting story. So she so she obviously

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: went through the process of having her father creamated, went

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: to the service, and ended up getting the ashes. Even

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: though she didn't have a good enough relationship with him

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: that she wanted to keep the ashes. I would have

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: thought that would have broken down earlier somewhere and then rather.

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: Than somebody asked for him to be cremated. I don't,

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: But how does she end up with the ashes?

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: If she hates him so much that she doesn't she's

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: going to leave him somewhere?

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: That just seems weird. Why wouldn't she say no, you

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: keep them? No, I just I think in a lot

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: on a happy family, she do. What do you have

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: to do to minimize conflict?

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Okay? Even the ashes? Okay, even if I go with that. Yeah,

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: your disposal of them isn't throw them in the trash,

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: throw them off a cliff, Yeah, depending on how angry

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: you are about him. Whenever you a movie theater and

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 1: leave him under the seat.

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: It's amazing how often this is all the analysis you need.

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: I know what I'll do, dot dot dot, and then

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: you fill it in with what they did, and you think,

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: how the hell do you got right? You decide, I mean,

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: I get that you think of it, but then you

45
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: decide that's your best course of action. Maybe maybe she's

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: sitting there in the movie with the ashes and thought,

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: you know what, this movie sucks and my dad did too.

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: I'm leaving the movie. I'm leaving him. I don't know

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: who knows. You'd have to ask her. That's some odd

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: damn behaviors being of odd behavior. This is a Twitter

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: thread sent to me, brought to my attention by and

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: I did not clear whether this person wanted to be

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: named a very serious person? Uh not a crank the

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: opposite of a crank.

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: It is a Twitter.

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Post by Jennifer's Xiang zeg z e Ng, who is

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: an American of Chinese origin. She has about her core

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: of a million followers. She says her her profile is writer,

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: reporter and China expert news and analysis on Chinese affairs,

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: and is followed by a number of people who we

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: follow and and are serious observers of China. Okay, Having

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: said that, I'm just going to read the first part

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: to you. Can you believe this is a US Navy

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: recruiting office in Alhambra, California. Every recruiter here is Chinese,

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: as well as all the people coming to enlist. The

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: working language here is also Chinese.

67
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so you don't mean of Chinese origin, but born

68
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: here speak English? Why are they speaking Chinese there? I mean,

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: clearly they're Chinese Americans. They can't be Chinese nationals. But

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: let me let me go on a little bit. This

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: is why I'm so I'm so completely befuddled by this.

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And there are pictures and videos, as she makes clear

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: in a bit, let me just read on and then

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: we'll get to some of the questions. The video was

75
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: filmed by a Chinese language YouTuber and the US Navy

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: recruiter who took him there to film all this is

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: and she names the rank and the gentleman's name.

78
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: He's got his name obviously of Chinese origin. In the

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: description box of this video on YouTube, which was uploaded

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: on December one, twenty twenty four, this naval guy's contact

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: information is provided, and what concerns me is that the

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: first option listed is his we Chat ID to get

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: in touch with an alleged US military recruiter. We Chat

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: is the big Chinese social media site. The telephone number

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: of the office comes as the second choice. As all

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: data on we Chat is controlled by the CCP, this

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: at least gives the CCP access to the personal data

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: of all those who apply to join the US Navy

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: and who are admitted. The second question is why is

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: this office staffed exclusively by Chinese individuals. The other day

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: I shared a video where a Chinese American military member said,

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: if the US goes to war with China, he would

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: quit the US Army because he doesn't want to fight

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: against China.

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.

96
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: If all these Chinese people recruited through this office feel

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: the same way, what will happen? And the worst case

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: scenario is what if some of them are recruited by

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: the CCPs spies or perhaps they are already spies. One

100
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: thing I am sure of from listening to their accent

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: is that they all come from mainland to China. Everyone

102
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: in this video, and the title of the original Chinese

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: language video is quote, how desperate are Chinese people to

104
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: join the US military? They're overwhelming recruitment offices, each with

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: their own reasons for enlistening. Finally, this the Chinese word

106
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: used as Chinese symbols, which can be translated as Chinese

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: people or more precisely people from PRC or people of

108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: PRC the People's Republic of China. In the mind or

109
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: subconsciousness of the youtubeer who shot this video. All these

110
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: people still belonged to the prc.

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: OH.

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: I hope that's looked into. Yeah, I don't get this.

113
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: I am absolutely befuddled by this.

114
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: It's not hard to imagine somebody of Chinese descent being

115
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: very willing to join the US military to fight against China,

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: right because you didn't like, I mean, we are friend

117
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: ying Ma. She's not a friend of a fan of

118
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: she grew up in China, She's not a fan of China.

119
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: She also retweeted something from somebody on the East Coast

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Chinese illegals seeking naturalization lured by US military offices ran

121
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: by Chinese individuals and advertised in China. This person said,

122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: I've reported on this before, but in New York. It

123
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me. So it's like, you can get your

124
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: papers if you serve in the military, you can get

125
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: American papers, no matter how you got in the country,

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: So enlist today. Well, if anybody has any idea what

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: the ELL's going on here, what's behind it? I would

128
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: love to know. Again, she does not appear to be

129
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: any sort of crackpot, and the person who sent this

130
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: to me is absolutely not either.

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, if you know anything about it, email or text.

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: So with all the UFOs drones flying around in New Jersey,

133
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: for instance, that might be from China or wherever, that

134
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: has some people talking about alien life forms. Elon had

135
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: an interesting text the other day about the likelihood of

136
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: intelligent life on other planets that I wanted to pass

137
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: along because I found it fascinating. We also have clips

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: of the week we need to get to all the

139
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: way stay here.

140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: I almost feel bad that I may have misled you,

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: but not really, because I think this is a it's

142
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: a learning moment. It's that's what I was looking for.

143
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: You remember phrase with like you escape it pot People

144
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: don't say it anymore, Thank goodness. It was a teachable moment. Ironically,

145
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: don't repeat cliches anyway. So this we were just talking

146
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: about this recruitment office al Hambro, California that appears to

147
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: be entirely run by Chinese speaking people, and it looks

148
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: like they're just recruiting other Chinese people and it's extremely

149
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: suspicious and weird and it is. I scrolled way, way, way,

150
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: way way down in the feed and finally came across

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: a guy saying, Hey, this is a sophisticated deep fake

152
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: and he's a military guy.

153
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

154
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: And he points out a number of the errors you

155
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: would not catch wow unless you're knowledgeable about military military procedures,

156
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: ribbons and that sort of thing. And he catches some

157
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: other inconsistencies that if you spent a couple hours of

158
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: your time researching the people in the video and their

159
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,479
Speaker 2: actual rank and blah blah blah.

160
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: It is scary, right, And so you are correct that

161
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: this is worth doing, even though it was misleading in

162
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: the beginning. Just to show how easy it is to

163
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: be misled by AAI deep fakes, including people that are

164
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: pretty knowledgeable the original source of this to you, and

165
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: they're only going to get better. They're only going to

166
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: get better. That video the other day, if you haven't

167
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: seen the video of Trump and Jill Biden front pews

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Cathedral the other day, they're talking and then

169
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: like they get into a fight. It's so damned real looking.

170
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if you went this fight not an argument, yeah, fistfight.

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: If you went back ten years and showed me that,

172
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: I thought, holy crap, Donald Trump and Joe Biden got

173
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: in a fight. It's only because I'm aware of AI,

174
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: and it's so unlikely that that would happen that I

175
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: jumped to the fact that it's ai. It looked completely believable.

176
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: I think the twenty first century might make humankind insane, yeah,

177
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 2: or just really really weird.

178
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean science fiction writers need

179
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: to get into what's going to happen when nobody believes

180
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: anything that they read here or see.

181
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: So well already covered that ground.

182
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: What is information at that point? What the party tells

183
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: you it is. So I just came across something damned interesting. Hey,

184
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: that's what we're shooting for. Huh. This is from Elon

185
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: Musk's Twitter feed, and this is something different than I

186
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: was going to talk about, but I just came across it.

187
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Elon Musk said it's annoying when Chomsky is right, and

188
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: that got my attention because Noam Chomsky is one of

189
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: the most annoying bastard on Earth. Is weird politics and

190
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: everything like that. But here's Noam Chomsky talking about the

191
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: pseudo intellectualism, intellectualism of post modern literary theorists. I don't

192
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: know why he laid this out the video. It looks

193
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: like he's less It's a deep sake. He's been an

194
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: old man my whole life. So here's the quote, and

195
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: this is about hearing all the gobbledygook from various critical

196
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: race theory people and that sort of stuff. If you

197
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: look at what's happening, I think it's pretty easy to

198
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on. I mean, suppose you're a

199
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: literary scholar at some elite university or an anthropologist or whatever.

200
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: If you do your work seriously, that's fine, but you

201
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: don't get any big prizes for it. On the other hand,

202
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: you take a look over in the rest of the university,

203
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: and you got those guys in the physics department and

204
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: the math department, and they have all kinds of complicated theories,

205
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: which of course we can't understand, but they seem to

206
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: understand them. And they have principles, and they deduce complicated

207
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: things from the principles, and they do experiments and they

208
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: find either the experiments work or they don't work. And

209
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: so that's really impressive stuff. So I want to be

210
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: like that too, over in the humanities. So I want

211
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: to have a theory in the humanities, you know, literary criticism, anthropology,

212
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: and so on. There's a field called theory. We're just

213
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: like the physicists. They talking in comprehen We can talk

214
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: in comprehensibly. They have big words, We have big words.

215
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 1: They draw far reaching conclusions. We'll draw far reaching conclusions.

216
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: We're just as prestigious as they are. Now. If they say, well,

217
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: look we're doing real science and you guys aren't. That's white, male, sexist,

218
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: bourgeois whatever, the answer is, that's what we say. How

219
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: are we need different from them? Okay, and that's appealing

220
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: to the people in the humanities. Why did he give

221
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: away the game there? But that is fascinating.

222
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: That is one hundred percent correct and eloquently stated.

223
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why he outed the people on his side.

224
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe he's just a cantankerous old man

225
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: or something. But that's that's beautiful, right. And he's an

226
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: obnoxious lefty oh a mesater.

227
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and crazy in my opinion, But so yeah. So

228
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the math physics guys, they got all kinds of stuff

229
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: that nobody understands. They win prizes. Everybody who's smart enough

230
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: to understand it seems to believe it. Yeah, let's do

231
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the same thing over here, critical race theory and all

232
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: kinds of weird crap and make up the term LATNX

233
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: and stuff like that.

234
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: And right exactly, yeah, and just the whole, well, the

235
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 2: whole you've got to innovate. To be an academic star,

236
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: you've got to come up with something new, which is

237
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: ruined education. Nothing works better than phonics, nothing. But you're

238
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: not gonna get some acclaim or a giant grant for

239
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: saying no, the old stuff is the way. You got

240
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: to keep doing it. So everybody's got to be, you know,

241
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: pushing the boundaries, and there are no boundaries to be

242
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: pushed in a lot of this stuff. You combine that

243
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: with the soft sciences, like he says, wanting to seem legit,

244
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: like I got a degree in political science and I

245
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: was really good at it, and I got a Bachelor

246
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 2: of Arts degree. Now so that wait a minute, it's

247
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: right there in the name of the major political science

248
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: that's not science, said the University of Illinois. If we

249
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: were just kidding you, please go away.

250
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: The liberal arts and sciences. The sciences is just to

251
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: make you shut up.

252
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: We don't mean it.

253
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: So if you're a professor of women's trans ethnic studies

254
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: or something, you can come up with this theory of

255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: how well, I'll say the US was founded on slavery

256
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: or something like that, and make up all this different stuff.

257
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: And the people in the physics department say that doesn't

258
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: make any sense. Well, it doesn't make sense to you.

259
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Your stuff doesn't make sense to me, So let's just

260
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: agree to disagree. Then you go from there.

261
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: Listen to this here in the surreal landscape of modern academia,

262
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: it seems there's no idea to outlandish to be wrapped

263
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: in the veneer of intellectualism and published in a peer

264
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: reviewed journal. Entered belas Boro's paper Queering Babies auto Ethnographic

265
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: Reflections from a Gay Parents through Surrogacy. The paper, which

266
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: has been peer reviewed and published in an auspicious journal,

267
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: masquerades a scholarship while offering little more than the author's

268
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: subjective musings dressed up in the jargon of post war theory.

269
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: As its title suggests, that paper relies heavily on auto ethnography,

270
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: a method that is essentially a diary entry trying to

271
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: pass as a rigorous analysis. At its core, the essay's

272
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: premise that surrogate babies are queer creatures by default, and

273
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: that perhaps all babies babies are inherently queer stretches the

274
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: boundaries of logic, coherence and decency.

275
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Well, so that whole thing there you just laid out.

276
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: The physics math people would say that sounds like it's

277
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: made up, and the people who made it up would say, well,

278
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: so does string theory. So again, let's agree to disagree.

279
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: Right, so shut up and give me my PhD and

280
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: queer baby's studies.

281
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Wow, oh that is interesting.

282
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: Shut the universities down. Let's take a deep breath for

283
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: about five years, then repopulate them with sane people.

284
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, huh, at least the parts that

285
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: aren't like the physics math department. Although, as we know,

286
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: the physics and math and biology departments have gotten infiltrated

287
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: by the the woke stuff too and have to work

288
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: it into the classrooms where I saw the other day

289
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: the one guy doing a rant and raven in front

290
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: of his lecture hall full of hostages. I mean, you know,

291
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: students that have to be there and listen to his

292
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: crap going on about how it was okay to murder

293
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: the CEO of United Healthcare. He was not like a

294
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: physics professor with some hard science, like, wow, you're as

295
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: crazy as those other people are.

296
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: Well, he probably had to convincingly fill out his DEI

297
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: statement to get the gig. So thirty seven more qualified

298
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: physics professors who would not genuflect at the altar of

299
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: this cult didn't.

300
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: Get the gig he did. Yeah, why did Noam Chomsky

301
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: give away the game? There?

302
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: Will?

303
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: I will think about that the rest of my days,

304
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: about the whole thing.

305
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: I assume it's legit. One of our beloved listeners actually

306
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: email us a link to the same thing, so it's

307
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: getting attention.

308
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: Elon tweeted it out. That was his you know, his

309
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: thing was, it's annoying when Chomsky is right. We've got

310
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: a lot more on the way. I hope you can stay.

311
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: Here, Armstrong and Getty.

312
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with my son last night. I've

313
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: been trying to convince them to this since he was little.

314
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I understand why he didn't go for his little His

315
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: birthday is two days before Christmas, December twenty third, and

316
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: it makes it really makes a mess of the whole thing.

317
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: It's it's just it's it's too much. It's just too much.

318
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: Everybody gets together, you have cake, you got open presents,

319
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: and then like twenty four hours later, it feels like

320
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: you do it again, and it just it just always

321
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: seems like too much and like it lessens the other one. Anyway,

322
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I was hoping that when he got older, maybe he'd

323
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: go for the half birthday that I know some of

324
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: you do. I remember when he was born, a bunch

325
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: of you said that that's what you do in your families.

326
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: So you decide because your birthday's too close to Christmas.

327
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: You celebrated at the six month mark, so do it

328
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: in June or July whatever, and then it has more

329
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: of a special feeling and blah blah blah. But uh,

330
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: he didn't want to go for it. He's a partially

331
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: because he's ocd AF that's five letters, and he wants

332
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: to do his birthday on his birthday. But man, the

333
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: birthday and getting ready for the birthday and then the

334
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Christmas a lot. And I tell this story every year.

335
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: His older brother Sam, so he's his brother. Sam is

336
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: two when we bring home Henry from the hospital on

337
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, and Sam collapses to his knees and starts

338
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: crying because he really he was able to understand as

339
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: a two year old the jig is up. I am

340
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: no longer the only show in town. All the focus

341
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be on whoever this is, and I already

342
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: don't like him, and and oh it was I can

343
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: still picture. It was so sad. He just he tried

344
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: to smile, he tried to be happy because we're hey,

345
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: here's your new brother, and he kind of smiled, and

346
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: then he just collapsed on the floor crying. And oh

347
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: it was painful. And I know it is a common thing,

348
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: not unique to my family, but oh that hurt. With

349
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree there and all the presents. Have you

350
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: ever known anybody to have for birthday, Katie, if you

351
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: ever heard of that before? Now, yeah, I would do it.

352
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to do it when I was a kid, probably,

353
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: but past a certain age. Yeah, let's let's let's let's

354
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: let's do presence gifts hubbub in the middle of the summer,

355
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: not have both of them two days apart.

356
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want two sets of presents.

357
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: And try as you might, there's just no way. It's

358
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: the same amount of stuff I think that you're gonna

359
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: get when they're together. There's always kind of a combo.

360
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: This is your combo birthday because it's a very big guy.

361
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 5: Whatever I don't know how long did it take for

362
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: that sting of no longer being the only child to

363
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 5: kind of go do you think I.

364
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Don't know, he's fourteen. I'll let you know if it

365
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: wears off. I don't know. I don't actually know. It

366
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: wasn't that long, but it makes sense. I probably did

367
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was the oldest, and then you

368
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: know you're the only show in time. I look at

369
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: the Christmas pictures from when I before, I have when

370
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: I was the only child there briefly, and oh my god,

371
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: the amount of presents I got, And then you know

372
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: it changes when there's competition.

373
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

374
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: So here's one of the most annoying things that's happened

375
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: in recent memory. San Diego County was voting on whether

376
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: or not to become what they're calling a super sanctuary county.

377
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: So not only are they gonna, uh not give up

378
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: the idea of being a sanctuary county, we're gonna be

379
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: a super sanctuary county, whatever the hell that is. There

380
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: was only one no vote. It passed, God dang it.

381
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: So more on that after we hear some of the

382
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: actual arguments. This is San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond,

383
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: who we've had on the show before talking about he

384
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: was the no vote. He was the only no vote

385
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: on San Diego County becoming a super sanctuary county, and

386
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: he said this, I.

387
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 6: Think this policy goes beyond California's existing sanctuary laws by

388
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 6: adding an additional layer of bureaucracy that hinders local law

389
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 6: enforcement from directly notifying ICE about illegal immigrants who are

390
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 6: currently in our jails and they have committed heinous crimes

391
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 6: including child abuse or endangerment, driving under the influence of

392
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 6: alcohol or drugs, but only if this conviction is for

393
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 6: a felony, possession.

394
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Of an unlawful deadly weapon, gang.

395
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 6: Related offenses, a crime resulting in death or involving personal

396
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: affliction or great bodily injury, possession or use of a firearm,

397
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 6: and the commission of an offense torture, rape, and kidnapping.

398
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: That's the population we're talking about. So under this policy,

399
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 6: and if a legal immigrant commits one of these serious crimes,

400
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 6: San Diego County would be legally prohibited from directly coreating

401
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 6: with ICE. This effectively protects the offenders from deportation, allowing

402
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: them to remain in our communities where they could cause

403
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: that same harm.

404
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Again. This is so bone deep crazy. I have trouble

405
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: happy wrapping my head around it. I guess we should

406
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: have recorded some of the arguments in favor of it,

407
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: so I would at least understand what their thinking is.

408
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: Let's let mister Desmond roll on with the awfulness of

409
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: San Diego becoming San Diego County becoming a super sanctuary county.

410
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: And this isn't just theoretical.

411
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 6: We have seen the devastating consequences of such policies across

412
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 6: the nation. Barbie Larsen was brutally murdered in her own

413
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 6: home by an illegal alien gang member with a history

414
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 6: of drug possession and burglary. He was released because of

415
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 6: sanctuary loss. Kate Steinel was senselesusly shot killed in a

416
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: San Francisco peer but a llegal immigrant with a long

417
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 6: history of violent crime. Just months ago, I sat next

418
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 6: to Patty Moren, a mother whose life was shattered when

419
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 6: her daughter was raped murdered by an illegal immigrant. Her

420
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 6: heartbreaking testimony is something I'll never forget. A reminder that

421
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 6: these tragedies are not statistics, they are human lives forever altered.

422
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: You know what we ought to do hands an executive producer,

423
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: maybe you get some of the arguments for any county

424
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: becoming a super sanctuary county, because we already are a

425
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: sanctuary state in California, and they wanted to add to

426
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: that the protections for not just people here who are

427
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: here illegally, but people who are illegal here illegally and

428
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: in jail, already committed a crime. Sometimes, as you heard,

429
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: they're a terrible crime. I don't even understand the argument.

430
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start because I don't

431
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: understand their argument. So maybe we ought to grab some

432
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: of that and we can play it next week. But

433
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: let's let Desmond wrap up here.

434
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 6: And these tragedies are preventable, but sanctuary laws allow them

435
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 6: to happen by allowing illegal criminals back into our communities

436
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 6: instead of into the hands of ice. San Diego County

437
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: is already spending five million dollars annually of taxpayer money

438
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 6: to provide legal counsel for illegal immigrants facing deportation, no

439
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 6: matter what the reason is that they're being deported. This

440
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 6: proposed legislation, to me, seeks to prioritize the interest of

441
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 6: illegal criminal immigrants over the safety of law abiding immigrants

442
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 6: and citizens.

443
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: So the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted three

444
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: to one yesterday. That was the one that you've been hearing.

445
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Who was against this to restrict the use of county

446
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: resources for federal immigration enforcement. That ideology is so nuts

447
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: to me. I don't even know where to start. Uh.

448
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: I think you're blinded by your weird m I don't

449
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: even know. I mean, like I said, I can't even

450
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: get in the headspace. I can't even steal man their argument.

451
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: As they say, if you're gonna have a good debate,

452
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be able to express the other person's

453
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: position to their satisfaction. I can't do that on this

454
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: one because I don't get their ideology. Some of it

455
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: is just this is the opposite of what Trump wants.

456
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: So some of it is that it's Trump arrangement syndrome.

457
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: It says, oh, Trump wants a boot out of legals,

458
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: then I have to be again. Some of it is that,

459
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's very popular in certain quarters, including a lot

460
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: of San Diego. But wow, we will get some of

461
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: the arguments for the super sanctuary county so we can

462
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: hear what these numb nuts think we'll do. That next week,

463
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe we'll have a mister desmond on he could lay

464
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: it out for us pretty well, I guess. But there

465
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: you go. Trump won the election. You saw all of

466
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: the polling on all the border stuff. It's between eighty

467
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: and ninety percent Americans want secured borders. Sixty percent of

468
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: Americans want every single undocumented immigrant booted out of the

469
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: country period. We're not even talking illegals. You could be

470
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: talking to hard working, productive family members. Sixty percent want

471
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: them boot it out. I don't think that's ever gonna happen.

472
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: I don't think that's workable. But that is the feeling

473
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: of the country right now. But in San Diego County

474
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: you had three people that voted for keeping criminals in

475
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: the country. People that are known criminals. We want you

476
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: in our country, and the taxpayer will help support them.

477
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: Freaking nuts. We'll finish strong next strong.

478
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: In Seattle, a pair of suspected jewelry thieves attempted to

479
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 6: escape by row.

480
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Boat before being arrested. A row boat. Is there no

481
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: slower escape vehicle available? It's the cops quick to the

482
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: ghetaway blimp. They're trolling right at us. That's pretty funny.

483
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 1: A robo pretty much is the slowest thing you can

484
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: come up with. Uh, that is hilarious. Hi y'all doing.

485
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: We got one more week left in the year of broadcasting?

486
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: Am I right about that? Michael? Am I looking at

487
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: that correctly? One more broadcasting week next week Monday through Friday,

488
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll have our end of the year show

489
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: on Friday, which is always baffo and full of all

490
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: kinds of fun stuff. Then we're off for two weeks

491
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: while you complain to us through texts and emails about

492
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: why aren't we working? And then we come back to

493
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: start a brand new year of fun and frivolity with

494
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: a new president, Which leads me to this. Mark Alprin,

495
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: writing in his newsletter today about the amazing day Trump

496
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: had yesterday Thursday, by the standards of presidential transition and

497
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Trump's most fundamental desires on the National town Square, was

498
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: a super baffo day for the maven of Mara a Lago,

499
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: fusing in a series of Wall Street photo ops at

500
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange, where he rang the bell,

501
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: first time any president or about to be president has

502
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: done that in forty years since. Wrong with Reagan and

503
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: his person of the Year honor with Time Magazine, which

504
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to most people, but it matters a lot

505
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump.

506
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: Yes, Katie, at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot,

507
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: you keep saying boffo.

508
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: You don't know the word boffo. No, it was wonderful, fantastic,

509
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: big Okay.

510
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was like an acronym for something.

511
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 5: No, okay, not just you're away saying you know af

512
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 5: and all this stuff.

513
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 7: I thought boffo fit in the FAFO. I don't know,

514
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 7: I should I should stop saying some of those things. Actually,

515
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 7: Trump having members of his family and political posse flanking

516
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 7: him there at the Stock Exchange with the giant Time

517
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 7: magazine cover behind his head, might have been the highest moment.

518
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Of his life, which is absolutely true. It's not that

519
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: just that the big Apple is his oyster. As the

520
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Washington Post, democracy dies in darkness. The Washington Post, they

521
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: came up with that massed head statement when Trump was

522
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: elected in twenty sixteen because they were going to be

523
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: the resistance. Even the Washington Post noted the entire known

524
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: galaxy is now arguably more under Trump's thumb than it

525
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: has ever been. And this man was president for four

526
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: years already really quite amazing. Mark Alpern goes on to write,

527
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: there has never been a modern transition like this, with

528
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: the incoming folks making visible progress on areas including immigration,

529
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: foreign policy. Doge, that'd be cutting back on spending, executive

530
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: orders of all stripes, and more before he even takes office.

531
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Peggy Noonan, as she often does, writing in the Wall

532
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: Street Journal, said it best or is she a postperson?

533
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: Framing that Trump is what he is doing this December.

534
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: You have to see that what we are witnessing right

535
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: now is truly remarkable, with no precedent in US history.

536
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: He's essentially functioning as a sitting president a month and

537
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: a half before his president. We're now down to what

538
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: is the date today? So he got a month and

539
00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: a week five weeks before he's actually president. Now the

540
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: part Joe was talking about a little bit later. I

541
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 1: don't know if birds coming home to roost is a

542
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: fair way to talk about it or not. It's just

543
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: the reality of people still have a bad mood about

544
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: the economy. Economies move slow. It'll take a while to

545
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: fix that, even if it can be fixed. Making people

546
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: feel better about what stuff costs and everything like that,

547
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: he's going to have a margin of like one or

548
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: two in the House. He got a new majority leader

549
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: in the Senate that nobody is exactly sure where he's

550
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: going to be on things, and then you got a

551
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: couple of wards that could go south at any moment.

552
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: So but you know, such as being president. If you

553
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: don't want that sort of stress and everything, don't take

554
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: the job. Michael, Where are you and your Christmas shopping?

555
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay.

556
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 8: I got to get all the stocking stuff or stuff.

557
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: You're the little items?

558
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Tree up?

559
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, tree's up.

560
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Trees up? Yeah, packages wrapped the ones that you do have.

561
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Are there packages under the tree?

562
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: There are some packages.

563
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 8: I still got a lot of rapping to do.

564
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: Man, you're making me feel horrible, Katie, tree up, Nope,

565
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: that makes me feel better. Good. There you go. Will

566
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: there be a tree or a Yeah, it's going up.

567
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: Husband's working crazy hours and unfortunately I can't reach it

568
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to risk falling off a louder

569
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 5: or hurting my shoulder.

570
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. You're one of those Jesus Haytan artificial

571
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: tree people also allergic to pine.

572
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: But we can go to Jesus Haymen if you want.

573
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: That's a big difference. Hanson, Is your tree up? Gotta be?

574
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: You got little kids? Tree up? Oh my god? Does

575
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: that mean? Does that mean of course it is? Or

576
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: hell no, it's not. He's got to go. Apparently it's not.

577
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: So apparently this tree is not up. Oh wow, man,

578
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: you got kid. I know I got kids too, and

579
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: my tree is not up, and I feel bad about it.

580
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: I should have a tree up. It should be decorated.

581
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: There should be presents under the tree. It should smell

582
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: like a nutmeg or something in my house, like you know,

583
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: like in a movie. But it doesn't. Yeah, it will

584
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: this weekend. We're going to go get the tree tomorrow

585
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: and we'll get all that going, get.

586
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: The inflatable snowman on the front yard so that you

587
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: know that works.

588
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: And then I got to wrap some presents because a

589
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: tree with no presents under it, when you get this

590
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: close to Christmas is just sad. I mean, it just

591
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: makes a tear go down my CHEEKO. I've considered going

592
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: artificial tree. I know they're way better. I'm a child

593
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: of the seventies. We had among the first artificial trees.

594
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, and those were not very good.

595
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: They were they did there was. It was a plastic

596
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: stick with other plastic coming out of it.

597
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 8: Yes, we went artificial after many years of buying a

598
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 8: real one.

599
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: Just cost too much. The price drove you there. Yeah yeah,

600
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: I saw a kind of not particularly spectacular tree yesterday.

601
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Fairly small, got it. I think the boy scout a lot,

602
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: and it was with the tacks and the little add

603
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: ons and everything they do. I think it was almost

604
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars really. Oh yeah, yeah, I go. Ohh,

605
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: So I go cut down a tree every single year

606
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: with us all, and I will do that tomorrow and

607
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: kids will start and then they'll get tired, and then I,

608
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: as an old man, will be on my hands and

609
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: knees cutting the tree, risking a heart attack for their joy.

610
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: And then we'll bring it up there and then they

611
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: shake it out and they wrap it and they put

612
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: the stand on it. And once I get done with

613
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: everything like that, it'll be dang near two hundred dollars

614
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: for just like a regular sized tree.

615
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 5: Man, you can get one that already has lights on

616
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: it and just use that every year.

617
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: Oh, the artificial trees have lights already.

618
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you plug them in and bam, you're done.

619
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that takes away some of it. Isn't

620
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,200
