WEBVTT - Let's Take A Deep Breath For 5 Years

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Arm Strong and Jetty and no he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That's going viral.

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>A woman in Wisconsin admitted to leaving something pretty unusual

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 2>at a movie theater.

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Take a look of this, an urn full of ashes

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 3>found in a movie theater in Wisconsin.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>It appears the mystery has been solved.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>The woman now as she left the urn there on purpose.

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>She says, the remains inside are those of her father.

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>With whom she did not have a close relationship. She

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want the remains in her home.

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>So when she went to see a movie, she brought

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 3>the urn and dished it underneath seats where Beetlejuice.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Beetlejuice was playing Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice one Moviego was like ern,

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a promotional popcorn. Butchet, he's getting

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cheese nuts. That's all I'm getting here.

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh geez, that's gross.

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what an interesting story. So she so she obviously

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>went through the process of having her father creamated, went

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to the service, and ended up getting the ashes. Even

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>though she didn't have a good enough relationship with him

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that she wanted to keep the ashes. I would have

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>thought that would have broken down earlier somewhere and then rather.

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Than somebody asked for him to be cremated. I don't,

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But how does she end up with the ashes?

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>If she hates him so much that she doesn't she's

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>going to leave him somewhere?

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>That just seems weird. Why wouldn't she say no, you

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>keep them? No, I just I think in a lot

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>on a happy family, she do. What do you have

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to do to minimize conflict?

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Even the ashes? Okay, even if I go with that. Yeah,

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>your disposal of them isn't throw them in the trash,

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>throw them off a cliff, Yeah, depending on how angry

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you are about him. Whenever you a movie theater and

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 1>leave him under the seat.

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing how often this is all the analysis you need.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I know what I'll do, dot dot dot, and then

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 2>you fill it in with what they did, and you think,

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>how the hell do you got right? You decide, I mean,

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I get that you think of it, but then you

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>decide that's your best course of action. Maybe maybe she's

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>sitting there in the movie with the ashes and thought,

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what, this movie sucks and my dad did too.

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving the movie. I'm leaving him. I don't know

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>who knows. You'd have to ask her. That's some odd

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>damn behaviors being of odd behavior. This is a Twitter

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 2>thread sent to me, brought to my attention by and

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I did not clear whether this person wanted to be

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>named a very serious person? Uh not a crank the

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.239
<v Speaker 2>opposite of a crank.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It is a Twitter.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Post by Jennifer's Xiang zeg z e Ng, who is

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>an American of Chinese origin. She has about her core

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>of a million followers. She says her her profile is writer,

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>reporter and China expert news and analysis on Chinese affairs,

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and is followed by a number of people who we

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>follow and and are serious observers of China. Okay, Having

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>said that, I'm just going to read the first part

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to you. Can you believe this is a US Navy

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>recruiting office in Alhambra, California. Every recruiter here is Chinese,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>as well as all the people coming to enlist. The

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>working language here is also Chinese.

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you don't mean of Chinese origin, but born

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>here speak English? Why are they speaking Chinese there? I mean,

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>clearly they're Chinese Americans. They can't be Chinese nationals. But

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>let me let me go on a little bit. This

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm so I'm so completely befuddled by this.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>And there are pictures and videos, as she makes clear

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>in a bit, let me just read on and then

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to some of the questions. The video was

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>filmed by a Chinese language YouTuber and the US Navy

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>recruiter who took him there to film all this is

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and she names the rank and the gentleman's name.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>He's got his name obviously of Chinese origin. In the

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>description box of this video on YouTube, which was uploaded

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>on December one, twenty twenty four, this naval guy's contact

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>information is provided, and what concerns me is that the

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 2>first option listed is his we Chat ID to get

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>in touch with an alleged US military recruiter. We Chat

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>is the big Chinese social media site. The telephone number

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 2>of the office comes as the second choice. As all

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>data on we Chat is controlled by the CCP, this

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>at least gives the CCP access to the personal data

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 2>of all those who apply to join the US Navy

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and who are admitted. The second question is why is

0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>this office staffed exclusively by Chinese individuals. The other day

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I shared a video where a Chinese American military member said,

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 2>if the US goes to war with China, he would

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>quit the US Army because he doesn't want to fight

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>against China.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's nice.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>If all these Chinese people recruited through this office feel

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the same way, what will happen? And the worst case

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>scenario is what if some of them are recruited by

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the CCPs spies or perhaps they are already spies. One

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>thing I am sure of from listening to their accent

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>is that they all come from mainland to China. Everyone

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 2>in this video, and the title of the original Chinese

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 2>language video is quote, how desperate are Chinese people to

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 2>join the US military? They're overwhelming recruitment offices, each with

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>their own reasons for enlistening. Finally, this the Chinese word

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 2>used as Chinese symbols, which can be translated as Chinese

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 2>people or more precisely people from PRC or people of

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>PRC the People's Republic of China. In the mind or

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 2>subconsciousness of the youtubeer who shot this video. All these

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>people still belonged to the prc.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>OH.

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's looked into. Yeah, I don't get this.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I am absolutely befuddled by this.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>It's not hard to imagine somebody of Chinese descent being

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>very willing to join the US military to fight against China,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>right because you didn't like, I mean, we are friend

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>ying Ma. She's not a friend of a fan of

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>she grew up in China, She's not a fan of China.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>She also retweeted something from somebody on the East Coast

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Chinese illegals seeking naturalization lured by US military offices ran

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>by Chinese individuals and advertised in China. This person said,

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I've reported on this before, but in New York. It

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 2>doesn't surprise me. So it's like, you can get your

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>papers if you serve in the military, you can get

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>American papers, no matter how you got in the country,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>So enlist today. Well, if anybody has any idea what

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the ELL's going on here, what's behind it? I would

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 2>love to know. Again, she does not appear to be

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>any sort of crackpot, and the person who sent this

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to me is absolutely not either.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, if you know anything about it, email or text.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So with all the UFOs drones flying around in New Jersey,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>for instance, that might be from China or wherever, that

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>has some people talking about alien life forms. Elon had

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>an interesting text the other day about the likelihood of

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>intelligent life on other planets that I wanted to pass

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>along because I found it fascinating. We also have clips

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>of the week we need to get to all the

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>way stay here.

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I almost feel bad that I may have misled you,

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>but not really, because I think this is a it's

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a learning moment. It's that's what I was looking for.

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>You remember phrase with like you escape it pot People

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>don't say it anymore, Thank goodness. It was a teachable moment. Ironically,

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>don't repeat cliches anyway. So this we were just talking

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>about this recruitment office al Hambro, California that appears to

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>be entirely run by Chinese speaking people, and it looks

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>like they're just recruiting other Chinese people and it's extremely

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>suspicious and weird and it is. I scrolled way, way, way,

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>way way down in the feed and finally came across

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>a guy saying, Hey, this is a sophisticated deep fake

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and he's a military guy.

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And he points out a number of the errors you

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>would not catch wow unless you're knowledgeable about military military procedures,

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 2>ribbons and that sort of thing. And he catches some

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 2>other inconsistencies that if you spent a couple hours of

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>your time researching the people in the video and their

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.479
<v Speaker 2>actual rank and blah blah blah.

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>It is scary, right, And so you are correct that

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>this is worth doing, even though it was misleading in

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the beginning. Just to show how easy it is to

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>be misled by AAI deep fakes, including people that are

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty knowledgeable the original source of this to you, and

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 1>they're only going to get better. They're only going to

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>get better. That video the other day, if you haven't

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>seen the video of Trump and Jill Biden front pews

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame Cathedral the other day, they're talking and then

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>like they get into a fight. It's so damned real looking.

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you went this fight not an argument, yeah, fistfight.

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>If you went back ten years and showed me that,

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought, holy crap, Donald Trump and Joe Biden got

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in a fight. It's only because I'm aware of AI,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's so unlikely that that would happen that I

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>jumped to the fact that it's ai. It looked completely believable.

0:09:55.520 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the twenty first century might make humankind insane, yeah,

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 2>or just really really weird.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. I mean science fiction writers need

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to get into what's going to happen when nobody believes

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.599
<v Speaker 1>anything that they read here or see.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>So well already covered that ground.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>What is information at that point? What the party tells

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you it is. So I just came across something damned interesting. Hey,

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're shooting for. Huh. This is from Elon

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Musk's Twitter feed, and this is something different than I

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>was going to talk about, but I just came across it.

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk said it's annoying when Chomsky is right, and

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that got my attention because Noam Chomsky is one of

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the most annoying bastard on Earth. Is weird politics and

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 1>everything like that. But here's Noam Chomsky talking about the

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>pseudo intellectualism, intellectualism of post modern literary theorists. I don't

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>know why he laid this out the video. It looks

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>like he's less It's a deep sake. He's been an

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>old man my whole life. So here's the quote, and

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>this is about hearing all the gobbledygook from various critical

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>race theory people and that sort of stuff. If you

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>look at what's happening, I think it's pretty easy to

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's going on. I mean, suppose you're a

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 1>literary scholar at some elite university or an anthropologist or whatever.

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>If you do your work seriously, that's fine, but you

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>don't get any big prizes for it. On the other hand,

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you take a look over in the rest of the university,

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and you got those guys in the physics department and

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the math department, and they have all kinds of complicated theories,

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>which of course we can't understand, but they seem to

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>understand them. And they have principles, and they deduce complicated

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>things from the principles, and they do experiments and they

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>find either the experiments work or they don't work. And

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>so that's really impressive stuff. So I want to be

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>like that too, over in the humanities. So I want

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.719
<v Speaker 1>to have a theory in the humanities, you know, literary criticism, anthropology,

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and so on. There's a field called theory. We're just

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like the physicists. They talking in comprehen We can talk

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>in comprehensibly. They have big words, We have big words.

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.599
<v Speaker 1>They draw far reaching conclusions. We'll draw far reaching conclusions.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>We're just as prestigious as they are. Now. If they say, well,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>look we're doing real science and you guys aren't. That's white, male, sexist,

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>bourgeois whatever, the answer is, that's what we say. How

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 1>are we need different from them? Okay, and that's appealing

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to the people in the humanities. Why did he give

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>away the game there? But that is fascinating.

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.959
<v Speaker 2>That is one hundred percent correct and eloquently stated.

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he outed the people on his side.

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe he's just a cantankerous old man

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.439
<v Speaker 2>or something. But that's that's beautiful, right. And he's an

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>obnoxious lefty oh a mesater.

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and crazy in my opinion, But so yeah. So

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the math physics guys, they got all kinds of stuff

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 1>that nobody understands. They win prizes. Everybody who's smart enough

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to understand it seems to believe it. Yeah, let's do

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the same thing over here, critical race theory and all

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>kinds of weird crap and make up the term LATNX

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that.

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And right exactly, yeah, and just the whole, well, the

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 2>whole you've got to innovate. To be an academic star,

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 2>you've got to come up with something new, which is

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>ruined education. Nothing works better than phonics, nothing. But you're

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 2>not gonna get some acclaim or a giant grant for

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>saying no, the old stuff is the way. You got

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 2>to keep doing it. So everybody's got to be, you know,

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>pushing the boundaries, and there are no boundaries to be

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>pushed in a lot of this stuff. You combine that

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>with the soft sciences, like he says, wanting to seem legit,

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 2>like I got a degree in political science and I

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 2>was really good at it, and I got a Bachelor

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 2>of Arts degree. Now so that wait a minute, it's

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 2>right there in the name of the major political science

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 2>that's not science, said the University of Illinois. If we

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 2>were just kidding you, please go away.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The liberal arts and sciences. The sciences is just to

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>make you shut up.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 2>We don't mean it.

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a professor of women's trans ethnic studies

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>or something, you can come up with this theory of

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>how well, I'll say the US was founded on slavery

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, and make up all this different stuff.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>And the people in the physics department say that doesn't

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>make any sense. Well, it doesn't make sense to you.

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Your stuff doesn't make sense to me, So let's just

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>agree to disagree. Then you go from there.

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this here in the surreal landscape of modern academia,

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>it seems there's no idea to outlandish to be wrapped

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in the veneer of intellectualism and published in a peer

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>reviewed journal. Entered belas Boro's paper Queering Babies auto Ethnographic

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Reflections from a Gay Parents through Surrogacy. The paper, which

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>has been peer reviewed and published in an auspicious journal,

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 2>masquerades a scholarship while offering little more than the author's

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>subjective musings dressed up in the jargon of post war theory.

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>As its title suggests, that paper relies heavily on auto ethnography,

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a method that is essentially a diary entry trying to

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 2>pass as a rigorous analysis. At its core, the essay's

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 2>premise that surrogate babies are queer creatures by default, and

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>that perhaps all babies babies are inherently queer stretches the

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>boundaries of logic, coherence and decency.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, so that whole thing there you just laid out.

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>The physics math people would say that sounds like it's

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>made up, and the people who made it up would say, well,

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>so does string theory. So again, let's agree to disagree.

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, so shut up and give me my PhD and

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 2>queer baby's studies.

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow, oh that is interesting.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Shut the universities down. Let's take a deep breath for

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>about five years, then repopulate them with sane people.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, huh, at least the parts that

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't like the physics math department. Although, as we know,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the physics and math and biology departments have gotten infiltrated

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>by the the woke stuff too and have to work

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it into the classrooms where I saw the other day

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the one guy doing a rant and raven in front

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of his lecture hall full of hostages. I mean, you know,

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>students that have to be there and listen to his

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>crap going on about how it was okay to murder

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the CEO of United Healthcare. He was not like a

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>physics professor with some hard science, like, wow, you're as

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>crazy as those other people are.

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, he probably had to convincingly fill out his DEI

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>statement to get the gig. So thirty seven more qualified

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>physics professors who would not genuflect at the altar of

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>this cult didn't.

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Get the gig he did. Yeah, why did Noam Chomsky

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>give away the game? There?

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Will?

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I will think about that the rest of my days,

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>about the whole thing.

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I assume it's legit. One of our beloved listeners actually

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 2>email us a link to the same thing, so it's

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>getting attention.

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Elon tweeted it out. That was his you know, his

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.959
<v Speaker 1>thing was, it's annoying when Chomsky is right. We've got

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot more on the way. I hope you can stay.

0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Here, Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I had a conversation with my son last night. I've

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.680
<v Speaker 1>been trying to convince them to this since he was little.

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I understand why he didn't go for his little His

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>birthday is two days before Christmas, December twenty third, and

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it makes it really makes a mess of the whole thing.

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>It's it's just it's it's too much. It's just too much.

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Everybody gets together, you have cake, you got open presents,

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and then like twenty four hours later, it feels like

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 1>you do it again, and it just it just always

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>seems like too much and like it lessens the other one. Anyway,

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I was hoping that when he got older, maybe he'd

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>go for the half birthday that I know some of

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you do. I remember when he was born, a bunch

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of you said that that's what you do in your families.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So you decide because your birthday's too close to Christmas.

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>You celebrated at the six month mark, so do it

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.719
<v Speaker 1>in June or July whatever, and then it has more

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of a special feeling and blah blah blah. But uh,

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>he didn't want to go for it. He's a partially

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>because he's ocd AF that's five letters, and he wants

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to do his birthday on his birthday. But man, the

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>birthday and getting ready for the birthday and then the

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Christmas a lot. And I tell this story every year.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 1>His older brother Sam, so he's his brother. Sam is

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>two when we bring home Henry from the hospital on

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Eve, and Sam collapses to his knees and starts

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 1>crying because he really he was able to understand as

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>a two year old the jig is up. I am

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>no longer the only show in town. All the focus

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be on whoever this is, and I already

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>don't like him, and and oh it was I can

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>still picture. It was so sad. He just he tried

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 1>to smile, he tried to be happy because we're hey,

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>here's your new brother, and he kind of smiled, and

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>then he just collapsed on the floor crying. And oh

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it was painful. And I know it is a common thing,

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>not unique to my family, but oh that hurt. With

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the Christmas tree there and all the presents. Have you

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 1>ever known anybody to have for birthday, Katie, if you

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of that before? Now, yeah, I would do it.

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to do it when I was a kid, probably,

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>but past a certain age. Yeah, let's let's let's let's

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>let's do presence gifts hubbub in the middle of the summer,

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>not have both of them two days apart.

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I want two sets of presents.

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And try as you might, there's just no way. It's

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the same amount of stuff I think that you're gonna

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>get when they're together. There's always kind of a combo.

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 1>This is your combo birthday because it's a very big guy.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 5>Whatever I don't know how long did it take for

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 5>that sting of no longer being the only child to

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 5>kind of go do you think I.

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't know, he's fourteen. I'll let you know if it

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 1>wears off. I don't know. I don't actually know. It

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't that long, but it makes sense. I probably did

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. I was the oldest, and then you

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>know you're the only show in time. I look at

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the Christmas pictures from when I before, I have when

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I was the only child there briefly, and oh my god,

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the amount of presents I got, And then you know

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it changes when there's competition.

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Mm hmm.

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>So here's one of the most annoying things that's happened

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in recent memory. San Diego County was voting on whether

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>or not to become what they're calling a super sanctuary county.

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>So not only are they gonna, uh not give up

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the idea of being a sanctuary county, we're gonna be

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a super sanctuary county, whatever the hell that is. There

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>was only one no vote. It passed, God dang it.

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.199
<v Speaker 1>So more on that after we hear some of the

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 1>actual arguments. This is San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond,

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.159
<v Speaker 1>who we've had on the show before talking about he

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>was the no vote. He was the only no vote

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>on San Diego County becoming a super sanctuary county, and

0:20:58.040 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he said this, I.

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 6>Think this policy goes beyond California's existing sanctuary laws by

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 6>adding an additional layer of bureaucracy that hinders local law

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 6>enforcement from directly notifying ICE about illegal immigrants who are

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.400
<v Speaker 6>currently in our jails and they have committed heinous crimes

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 6>including child abuse or endangerment, driving under the influence of

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 6>alcohol or drugs, but only if this conviction is for

0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 6>a felony, possession.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Of an unlawful deadly weapon, gang.

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Related offenses, a crime resulting in death or involving personal

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 6>affliction or great bodily injury, possession or use of a firearm,

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 6>and the commission of an offense torture, rape, and kidnapping.

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:51.119
<v Speaker 6>That's the population we're talking about. So under this policy,

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 6>and if a legal immigrant commits one of these serious crimes,

0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 6>San Diego County would be legally prohibited from directly coreating

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 6>with ICE. This effectively protects the offenders from deportation, allowing

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 6>them to remain in our communities where they could cause

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 6>that same harm.

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Again. This is so bone deep crazy. I have trouble

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>happy wrapping my head around it. I guess we should

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>have recorded some of the arguments in favor of it,

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>so I would at least understand what their thinking is.

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's let mister Desmond roll on with the awfulness of

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>San Diego becoming San Diego County becoming a super sanctuary county.

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And this isn't just theoretical.

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 6>We have seen the devastating consequences of such policies across

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 6>the nation. Barbie Larsen was brutally murdered in her own

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 6>home by an illegal alien gang member with a history

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 6>of drug possession and burglary. He was released because of

0:22:55.200 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 6>sanctuary loss. Kate Steinel was senselesusly shot killed in a

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 6>San Francisco peer but a llegal immigrant with a long

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 6>history of violent crime. Just months ago, I sat next

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 6>to Patty Moren, a mother whose life was shattered when

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 6>her daughter was raped murdered by an illegal immigrant. Her

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 6>heartbreaking testimony is something I'll never forget. A reminder that

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.880
<v Speaker 6>these tragedies are not statistics, they are human lives forever altered.

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what we ought to do hands an executive producer,

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe you get some of the arguments for any county

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>becoming a super sanctuary county, because we already are a

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 1>sanctuary state in California, and they wanted to add to

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>that the protections for not just people here who are

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>here illegally, but people who are illegal here illegally and

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in jail, already committed a crime. Sometimes, as you heard,

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>they're a terrible crime. I don't even understand the argument.

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know where to start because I don't

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.119
<v Speaker 1>understand their argument. So maybe we ought to grab some

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of that and we can play it next week. But

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 1>let's let Desmond wrap up here.

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 6>And these tragedies are preventable, but sanctuary laws allow them

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 6>to happen by allowing illegal criminals back into our communities

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 6>instead of into the hands of ice. San Diego County

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 6>is already spending five million dollars annually of taxpayer money

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 6>to provide legal counsel for illegal immigrants facing deportation, no

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 6>matter what the reason is that they're being deported. This

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 6>proposed legislation, to me, seeks to prioritize the interest of

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 6>illegal criminal immigrants over the safety of law abiding immigrants

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 6>and citizens.

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted three

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to one yesterday. That was the one that you've been hearing.

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Who was against this to restrict the use of county

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 1>resources for federal immigration enforcement. That ideology is so nuts

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to me. I don't even know where to start. Uh.

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you're blinded by your weird m I don't

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 1>even know. I mean, like I said, I can't even

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 1>get in the headspace. I can't even steal man their argument.

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>As they say, if you're gonna have a good debate,

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to be able to express the other person's

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.199
<v Speaker 1>position to their satisfaction. I can't do that on this

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>one because I don't get their ideology. Some of it

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.399
<v Speaker 1>is just this is the opposite of what Trump wants.

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.719
<v Speaker 1>So some of it is that it's Trump arrangement syndrome.

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It says, oh, Trump wants a boot out of legals,

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 1>then I have to be again. Some of it is that,

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's very popular in certain quarters, including a lot

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>of San Diego. But wow, we will get some of

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the arguments for the super sanctuary county so we can

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>hear what these numb nuts think we'll do. That next week,

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll have a mister desmond on he could lay

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it out for us pretty well, I guess. But there

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you go. Trump won the election. You saw all of

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the polling on all the border stuff. It's between eighty

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and ninety percent Americans want secured borders. Sixty percent of

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Americans want every single undocumented immigrant booted out of the

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>country period. We're not even talking illegals. You could be

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>talking to hard working, productive family members. Sixty percent want

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>them boot it out. I don't think that's ever gonna happen.

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's workable. But that is the feeling

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of the country right now. But in San Diego County

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you had three people that voted for keeping criminals in

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the country. People that are known criminals. We want you

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in our country, and the taxpayer will help support them.

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Freaking nuts. We'll finish strong next strong.

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 6>In Seattle, a pair of suspected jewelry thieves attempted to

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 6>escape by row.

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Boat before being arrested. A row boat. Is there no

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 1>slower escape vehicle available? It's the cops quick to the

0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 1>ghetaway blimp. They're trolling right at us. That's pretty funny.

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.959
<v Speaker 1>A robo pretty much is the slowest thing you can

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>come up with. Uh, that is hilarious. Hi y'all doing.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>We got one more week left in the year of broadcasting?

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Am I right about that? Michael? Am I looking at

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that correctly? One more broadcasting week next week Monday through Friday,

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll have our end of the year show

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, which is always baffo and full of all

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 1>kinds of fun stuff. Then we're off for two weeks

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:29.880
<v Speaker 1>while you complain to us through texts and emails about

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 1>why aren't we working? And then we come back to

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 1>start a brand new year of fun and frivolity with

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a new president, Which leads me to this. Mark Alprin,

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 1>writing in his newsletter today about the amazing day Trump

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>had yesterday Thursday, by the standards of presidential transition and

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump's most fundamental desires on the National town Square, was

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a super baffo day for the maven of Mara a Lago,

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:54.879
<v Speaker 1>fusing in a series of Wall Street photo ops at

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the New York Stock Exchange, where he rang the bell,

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 1>first time any president or about to be president has

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>done that in forty years since. Wrong with Reagan and

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>his person of the Year honor with Time Magazine, which

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.679
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter to most people, but it matters a lot

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump.

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Katie, at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot,

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 5>you keep saying boffo.

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't know the word boffo. No, it was wonderful, fantastic,

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>big Okay.

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was like an acronym for something.

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 5>No, okay, not just you're away saying you know af

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 5>and all this stuff.

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.600
<v Speaker 7>I thought boffo fit in the FAFO. I don't know,

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 7>I should I should stop saying some of those things. Actually,

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 7>Trump having members of his family and political posse flanking

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 7>him there at the Stock Exchange with the giant Time

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 7>magazine cover behind his head, might have been the highest moment.

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Of his life, which is absolutely true. It's not that

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>just that the big Apple is his oyster. As the

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, democracy dies in darkness. The Washington Post, they

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 1>came up with that massed head statement when Trump was

0:28:57.280 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>elected in twenty sixteen because they were going to be

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the resistance. Even the Washington Post noted the entire known

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>galaxy is now arguably more under Trump's thumb than it

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>has ever been. And this man was president for four

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>years already really quite amazing. Mark Alpern goes on to write,

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>there has never been a modern transition like this, with

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the incoming folks making visible progress on areas including immigration,

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>foreign policy. Doge, that'd be cutting back on spending, executive

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>orders of all stripes, and more before he even takes office.

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Peggy Noonan, as she often does, writing in the Wall

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Street Journal, said it best or is she a postperson?

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Framing that Trump is what he is doing this December.

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to see that what we are witnessing right

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>now is truly remarkable, with no precedent in US history.

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>He's essentially functioning as a sitting president a month and

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a half before his president. We're now down to what

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 1>is the date today? So he got a month and

0:29:54.040 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a week five weeks before he's actually president. Now the

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>part Joe was talking about a little bit later. I

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know if birds coming home to roost is a

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>fair way to talk about it or not. It's just

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the reality of people still have a bad mood about

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the economy. Economies move slow. It'll take a while to

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 1>fix that, even if it can be fixed. Making people

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>feel better about what stuff costs and everything like that,

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he's going to have a margin of like one or

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>two in the House. He got a new majority leader

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate that nobody is exactly sure where he's

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be on things, and then you got a

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of wards that could go south at any moment.

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>So but you know, such as being president. If you

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want that sort of stress and everything, don't take

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the job. Michael, Where are you and your Christmas shopping?

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing okay.

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:47.719
<v Speaker 8>I got to get all the stocking stuff or stuff.

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 8>You're the little items?

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Tree up?

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, tree's up.

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Trees up? Yeah, packages wrapped the ones that you do have.

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Are there packages under the tree?

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>There are some packages.

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 8>I still got a lot of rapping to do.

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Man, you're making me feel horrible, Katie, tree up, Nope,

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that makes me feel better. Good. There you go. Will

0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>there be a tree or a Yeah, it's going up.

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Husband's working crazy hours and unfortunately I can't reach it

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 5>and I'm not going to risk falling off a louder

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 5>or hurting my shoulder.

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right. You're one of those Jesus Haytan artificial

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>tree people also allergic to pine.

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 4>But we can go to Jesus Haymen if you want.

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a big difference. Hanson, Is your tree up? Gotta be?

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>You got little kids? Tree up? Oh my god? Does

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that mean? Does that mean of course it is? Or

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 1>hell no, it's not. He's got to go. Apparently it's not.

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>So apparently this tree is not up. Oh wow, man,

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you got kid. I know I got kids too, and

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 1>my tree is not up, and I feel bad about it.

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I should have a tree up. It should be decorated.

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>There should be presents under the tree. It should smell

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>like a nutmeg or something in my house, like you know,

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like in a movie. But it doesn't. Yeah, it will

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. We're going to go get the tree tomorrow

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get all that going, get.

0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 5>The inflatable snowman on the front yard so that you

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 5>know that works.

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to wrap some presents because a

0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 1>tree with no presents under it, when you get this

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>close to Christmas is just sad. I mean, it just

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:19.040
<v Speaker 1>makes a tear go down my CHEEKO. I've considered going

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>artificial tree. I know they're way better. I'm a child

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 1>of the seventies. We had among the first artificial trees.

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 1>When I was a kid, and those were not very good.

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 1>They were they did there was. It was a plastic

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>stick with other plastic coming out of it.

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 8>Yes, we went artificial after many years of buying a

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 8>real one.

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Just cost too much. The price drove you there. Yeah yeah,

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw a kind of not particularly spectacular tree yesterday.

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Fairly small, got it. I think the boy scout a lot,

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was with the tacks and the little add

0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>ons and everything they do. I think it was almost

0:32:51.200 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars really. Oh yeah, yeah, I go. Ohh,

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So I go cut down a tree every single year

0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 1>with us all, and I will do that tomorrow and

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>kids will start and then they'll get tired, and then I,

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 1>as an old man, will be on my hands and

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>knees cutting the tree, risking a heart attack for their joy.

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And then we'll bring it up there and then they

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>shake it out and they wrap it and they put

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the stand on it. And once I get done with

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>everything like that, it'll be dang near two hundred dollars

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for just like a regular sized tree.

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 5>Man, you can get one that already has lights on

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 5>it and just use that every year.

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, the artificial trees have lights already.

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, you plug them in and bam, you're done.

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that takes away some of it. Isn't

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:31.200
<v Speaker 1>decorating the tree part of the whole thing. Get snacks

0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and then like music and we decorate the tree. One

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 1>time in a house I had which I had a

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>double story entryway, I got a twenty foot tree, twenty

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 1>foot real tree, which was spectacular. But man, that's a

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of work when that thing's done and you got

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to get it out of there and haul it away.

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>And so hey, kids, it's that time again with Armstrong

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and Getty. Yeah. I wish I could have done it

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 1>with the kids one time, the twenty foot tree, because

0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that is something. We got one of those in your house.

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It is wild. Here's your host for final thoughts.

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Me.

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's get a final thought from our what do we

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>call you? Michael Technical director, Tactical director Michael Angelo.

0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 8>Michael, Yeah, I gotta get my Christmas movies going. Christmas vacation, elf.

0:34:18.080 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 8>You know some of the other Christmas bees. Oh yeah,

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 8>Christmas Story, that's what it was.

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, got to do all three of those. Probably get

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>going on that this weekend. Are you a diehard as

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas movie guy? Yeah?

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I am.

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's the Katie Katie, the news Lady Katie Green.

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:34.880
<v Speaker 5>I met a listener the other day, and when he

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 5>found out I was on the show, the only thing

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 5>he said to me is I love it when.

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:41.320
<v Speaker 7>You guys play buy the dip.

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was his favorite thing.

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Why that's funny. I don't buy the dip. What is

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 1>my final thought? Yeah, I feel bad as a parent

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that it's gotten this close. Bub. We'll get it up tomorrow,

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>the tree, and then we'll decorate it and we'll have

0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>some snacks and play the music, and I'll get some

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 1>presents under there, and it's beginning to look a lot

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>like Christmas. And I love the whole thing as long

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>as I don't have to go to it to a mall,

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:10.919
<v Speaker 1>which I might have to do at some point. Oh boy,

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 1>this time of year, you got you gotta be. Some

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>people love it. Some people feel the Christmas spirit when

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>they're parking. I do not. I feel like murderous rage.

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Homicidal rage is what I feel.

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 5>It's really Christmas is getting slammed into everywhere you go,

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:24.880

<v Speaker 1>Another grueling four hour work day, so many people to

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.200

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.040
