WEBVTT - The Dead Eyes 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.279 Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.479 There's one thousand dollars from us supporter. We might have 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.160 to start doing our whale watch as we're raising money 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.720 for Scouting this week. My son has been a Boy 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.360 Scout now for nine months or something like that, just 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.920 absolutely blown away by the organization, and we decided we'd 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.479 raise some money. Some more kids could get involved in 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.160 Scouting because it does cost them. There's several hundred dollars 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.159 just to get started, and we're gonna raise money so 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.120 that they'll have basically scholarships. Some more kids get involved 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:49.720 in Scouting. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.240 I think a lot of people are only vaguely aware 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.720 jack of why they would support Scouting, I really do. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.800 I think we need to help them understand that. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:04.920 Yeah, I thought it was mostly learning to camp myself 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.600 and die. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.440 Useful skills, no doubt yetah, which is. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:12.480 Not nothing but what I've learned about since my son 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:13.200 got involved in it. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.560 It's all about the leadership. 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.480 I mean, it's all built around you know, Camping is 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.560 a great activity to do to learn leadership and have 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.880 people take different roles of preparing and organizing and having 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.760 a list and checking it twice in all that different 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.040 sort of stuff, partly because the stakes are pretty high. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.840 Because the stakes are very high, you get out, they're 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.720 miserable if you screwed up. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.080 You get out there, and you might be wet if 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.120 it's raining, or not have enough food or whatever it is. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:43.240 And the main thing is, I saw fifteen year olds 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.840 who seemed like they were twenty five year olds, and 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.840 I feel like I don't see that a lot in 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.680 the modern era. It's more the other way around, which 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.640 I see a lot, And it just blew me away. 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.320 I thought, why are these kids so mature? And it's 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.120 because they've been in this Scouting program. Some of them 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.160 that are really into lead go off to these various 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.960 leadership conferences camps where they specifically work on leadership. But 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.000 just in your own Scouting troop, you rise up through 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:09.560 the ranks and now all of a sudden, you're in 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.440 charge of this or that, and kids, when you give 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.760 them responsibility, they tend to rise to the occasion or 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.120 the demands they take on the responsibility, and that. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.920 It just changes them it's amazing and a couple of 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.360 more points. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:26.840 Number one, they're absolute, unapologetic patriotis is fantastic. Teaching kids 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.640 to love their country. That's a breath of fresh and 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.720 value it and liberty. Is that not a counterbalance that 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.440 we all have been crying out for to, for instance, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:42.920 our government schools. Second thing is and for various reasons 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.920 that you've probably followed the history of it. But they 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.480 do have girls us in Scouting USA as well. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.680 I met a couple of Eagle Scouts girls that were 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:58.240 Eagle Scouts at the big fundraiser in Sacramento last year. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:02:59.880 Very impressive girls. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.280 But as an activist now, I was thinking about this 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.240 for going on twenty five years against the war on 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.600 boys and the trying to feminize everything. The fact that 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.160 both boys and girls go out, they work hard, they 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.280 get dirty, they camp, they take responsibility. They're not treated 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.760 like lap dogs. They're treated like capable human beings. It's 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.840 a counterbalance to so many of the things that we 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.560 and you have been railing about for so long. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.840 It's a force for good. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.520 It's one hundred and eighty degrees from the helicopter parenting. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.280 Everything needs to be planned out modern era woh crap. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.760 The adults stand back and watch, and sometimes the tent 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.760 falls down or somebody forgot to bring the something, and 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:44.720 now what are they going to do? 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.200 And adults just stand back and let them figure it out? Right? 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.800 How valuable is that? It's amazing, so great, such a 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.839 positive force. So we like raising money in the way 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.240 that we do because you can. You can give with 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.600 your name, which is fantastic, or you can be anonymous, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.520 or you can come up with a funny name. And 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.400 we'll get to a total here in just a second. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.200 But already we've had one hundred dollars from Tenderfoot Dan. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.000 Thank you very much, Tenderfoot Dan. We had unbaked cookie 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.480 dough chip in twenty five bucks. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:17.320 Oh, thank you, cookie dough, Thank you for your delightfulness. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.440 And it's every way. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.720 How much of that did I eat yesterday? As Henry 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520 the Scout was making cookies unbaked cookie dough. I like 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.440 twenty five bucks from the Ghost of dominic This is 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:32.200 a clever one fifty bucks from Ann e way oh 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:32.920 and two. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:39.120 Anyway, oh and two a Native American miss Owen two. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.040 Oh, that's pretty funny, yea. The Ghost of Dominic I 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.599 don't know how I feel about that anyway, Gladys once 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.160 a year gets to put away or harp and get 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.839 out or snare drum, which he played. Uh so when 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.400 the troops came back home in nineteen eighteen, he Gladys, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.560 so let's get a total here. We are already we've 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.800 only been done this for an hour, eleven seven and 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.880 fifty three dollars. Oh fantastic. That's a pretty good start. Actually, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.080 it's a very nice start. Yeah, I don't know what. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.599 We got a goal of fifty thousand. I have no 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.320 idea what we're actually gonna hit. We may blow past 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.520 that by but you know, there's all kinds of there's 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.440 there's all kinds of things going on that we don't 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.520 so it's hard to guess. The economy's weird right now. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:28.440 People are feeling maxed out. Well, an AI is going 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.440 to come for your heart and lungs within five years, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.040 So what good is your money going to do you? 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.280 You might as well donate it. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.120 We just we don't want there to be an American 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.200 kid who wants to get into scouting. But times are 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.640 tough for the family, and mom and dad have to 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:42.400 say I'm sorry. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.479 We can't do that. That's that's what we're trying to 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:45.840 do here. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.640 I feel for the have nots in the current economic times. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.440 Let me appeal to the halves. If you're running around, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.279 I know what it's like out there. I've been running 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.400 around myself.

First of all, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.480 what is wrong with you if you, in any way 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.280 are happy to see some husband and wife stabbed to 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.520 death by their kid because of the politics you've broken. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.040 There's something broken with you. And our friend Tim Sanderfer 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:34.240 retweeted this is exactly like the people who took Glee 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.920 and Charlie Kirk being assassinated. You realize you're doing the 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.199 same thing, Yeah, only on a different side. But it's 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.319 exactly the same impulse and it's sick. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.560 Maybe later on this hour, the psychology and finances of 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.600 rage baiting online. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:51.679 Oh I like that. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.600 Why do so many people show the worst aspects. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.840 Of humanity online? It's pretty interesting. We got a lot 0:08:58.920 --> 0:08:59.640 to talk about today. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.559 If you want to donate to the Scouts, you go 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:06.520 to Armstrong in geddy dot com. We're on the way. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.880 Mom of two Eagle Scouts donated one hundred bucks to 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.520 Scouting at Armstrong in getty dot com or raising money 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:19.320 this week. Good job mom. Also fifty bucks from Bleach Blonde, 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.720 bad Bilt butch body. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.080 Wow, we're happy to see you. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.360 Just go to Armstrong in geddy dot com and it's 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.000 pretty obvious on how you donate. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.240 So the Justice Department last week issued a major, major 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.760 ruling that I did not see covered. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:33.960 I'm glad I came across this. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:40.080 Are you familiar with the horrific, idiotic, illogical doctrine of 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.239 disparate impact? 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:41.959 Oh? 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:42.800 Yeah. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:48.439 If there's a differing result among different racial groups being 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.520 hired at certain numbers, passing a test in certain numbers, 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.360 losing a foot race, whatever, that is enough proof that 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:56.439 there was discrimination. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.840 That that is illegal and it must be fixed. Right, 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.000 no matter what it is. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.920 If you end up with an outcome that's not fifty 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.840 to fifty men and women, or the percentage of black people, 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.600 Hispanic people, gay people that exist in the America. It is, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:18.480 by definition, picking and choosing winners suscriminatory, discriminatory. Assistant Attorney 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.000 General Harmeit Dillon, who's one of the great civil rights 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.320 heroes of the twenty first century, We've talked to her 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:24.800 a number of times on the air. It's been a while, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.000 said our rejection of this theory will restore true equality 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.560 under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination rather 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.319 than enforcing race and sex based quotas or assumptions. Well, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.160 did you mention the Supreme Court has ruled several times 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.720 that disparate impact is a good idea which is highly troubling. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.600 Yet is highly troubling. It was kind of tacked on 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.560 to the a section of the nineteen sixty four Civil 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.080 Rights Act. There was a big court case, a Supreme 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.560 Court case in nineteen seventy one. And if you don't 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.600 know the history of the Supreme Court, the idea that 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.880 because now briefly it leans conservative, is somehow a horror. Well, 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:09.360 for like fifty years it leaned way way left super 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.240 active as court and this Griggs versus Duke power essentially 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:18.000 said well, specifically, it said Duke Power had discriminated against 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.000 black employees by requiring applicants for promotion to have a 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.840 high school diploma and pass two aptitude tests. Unless the 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:30.200 player could provide a prove a business necessity for that policy, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.400 or any policy with disparate impact, it would be liable 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:38.160 for discrimination. That doctrine's been weakened in various ways by 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.319 various court cases through the years, but it was still 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.080 a factor and then got really revived and pushed during 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:49.280 THEO Woke Apocalypse of twenty twenty three, you know, fairly recently, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.760 but the administration, the Justice Department just came out and said, no, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.600 we completely reject it as a doctrine, and it is 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.760 let's see specific Quickly, they issued a rule doing away 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.000 with disparate impact liability under one section of the nineteen 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.520 sixty four Civil Rights Act, so that we're going to 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.000 cure racism by more racism has been weakened considerably, because 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.480 the one problem with it is it creates incentives for 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:22.360 employers to engage in outright discrimination. You might probably not remember, 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.839 but Ricci versus Di Stefano in two thousand and nine, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.000 plaintiffs were white firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut, who passed 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.120 a test for promotion decisions. Because whites passed at higher 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.600 rates than minorities, the city worried it would face disparate 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.640 impact lawsuits, so it discarded the test results and did 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.000 not promote the white firefighters. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:42.000 Well, from a legal standpoint, you could see why they did. Yeah, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.200 just to protect their arses. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.480 Yeah, absolutely, So that Clarence Thomas, by the way, is 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:49.520 hated this forever. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.400 Well, it's nonsensical, it's stupid on its space as far 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.280 as I'm concerned. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.680 Yeah, yeah, Well, and he wrote in his eloquent style 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.559 that allowing disparate impact liability quote to correct for imbalances 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.400 that do not result from any unlawful conduct conduct inevitably 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.559 leads to racial balancing, which is patently unconstitutional. So anyway, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.080 well done, miss Dylan in the Justice apartment. Love that move, 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:17.920 Love it, love it, love it. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.839 We got fifty dollars from mister soup sandals, swimsuit. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:24.440 You have any idea what that is? 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:30.320 You hate soup, you refuse to sandals and short pants? 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.000 You're right, Okay, that explains it. There you go. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.439 Yeah, did you know. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.679 That Australia has the highest per capita population of Holocaust 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.120 survivors outside of Israel. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.280 I did not just read that. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.760 Yeah, I had a couple of Holocaust survivors who were 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.520 killed by those Islamist nut jobs over the weekend. Jesus 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.319 survived the Holocaust. All these years later, you get shot 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.439 in the country of Australia, of all places. Just horror, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.880 by a couple of people who dedicated their lives to 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.720 isis How in the hell does that ideology catch on? 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.280 And I want to repeat this every time we bring 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.760 the story up. They globalized the Intifada. Absolutely, that's what 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.600 it means. I'm not sure all the college kids who 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.080 chanted and know that that's what it means. But Zorn 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.760 Mandami knew what it meant, and he refused to distance 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.760 himself from the phrase. Right, yeah, yeah, well yeah, the 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:33.640 college kids being fools who were or you know what, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:39.960 more charitably innocence, They were innocence who were indoctrinated by 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.920 their evil professors and the Islamists who work with the 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.560 Neo Marxist, the Red Green Alliance. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.760 You know, I kicking the kids probably won't do any good. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.720 But you have been defrauded, You have been fooled and 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.480 you have been duped into enlisting in an army of 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.040 evil youngsters. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:14:59.960 Go away. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.840 By the way, since I mentioned this a little bit ago, 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.960 that if you didn't like Rob Reiner's politics and you 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.080 make any comment joyful about his dying, you're just like 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.680 the people who cheered Charlie Kirk being assassinated. And Rob 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.200 Reiner did it in an interview just a couple of 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.400 days ago with Piers Morgan in which he said Charlie 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.640 Kirk's assassination was an absolute horror. Nobody should die for 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.120 their politics like that, no matter what their politics are, 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.480 and he was amazed and impressed with Erica Kirk, Charlie 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.720 Kirk's wife's ability to forgive the killer. So that's Rob 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.120 Reiner's attitude about that sort of thuff. Yeah, and it 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.280 had nothing to do with his politics anyway. Despite what 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:49.240 Donald Trump tweeted, it was their homeless drug addicted son 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.320 that probably came in the house and killed them, which 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.320 is pretty awful. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:16:01.800 Yeah, yeah, I'm yeah, Okay. Trump's tweet was horrific. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:03.400 Truth. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.640 I don't know what to say about that. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.720 I can tell, I can tell I was gonna bring 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.720 that up. Every descriptor you've used of it has been neutral, 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.840 which I think is interesting Trump's posting. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:23.880 Yeah, I'm I'm almost as amazed that it not getting 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.880 more attention. I mean, it doesn't even hardly stand out 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.160 in our current climate. 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.680 Well, and it's not like it's the first time he's 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.520 said anything completely unhinged. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.000 Right, Well, yeah, yeah. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.640 You combine with the fact that when somebody is brutally 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.680 murdered if you didn't like their politics, you cheer. Not everybody, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.760 not most people, not you know, a tiny minority, but 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.960 enough people for it to be disturbing, combined with the 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.920 things that all our politicians say. No, it doesn't even 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.440 hardly ring the bell, but it is something from a 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:05.360 president of the United States. Rob Reiner and his wife 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.600 were passed away in their home. Passed away as an 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.840 interesting phrase for people that were stabbed it up, reportedly 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.600 due to the anger he caused others through his massive, 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.760 unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.160 as Trump derangement syndrome. So he believes somebody so angered 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.840 by Rob Reiner's views of Trump came in and killed him. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.840 Or he saw that on somebody's social media account and 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:33.480 went with it. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:38.600 Yeah, it had nothing to do with it actually, just 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.400 for the record, even if it had been specifically somebody 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:51.159 what you're blaming cone it, yeah, wholeheartedly. Yeah, Okay, that is. 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:51.840 Just where we are. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.000 I don't know what to do about it. Let the 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.560 pendulum swing back or maybe it won't have her hard 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.639 to say, I do. At some point, I want to 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.280 hear about your new view on AI and art, which 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:11.159 you Yeah, lots of stories we got to update you 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.680 on because there's a lot of fast moving stuff happening today. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.480 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.760 Pantone announced that their color of the year is Cloud Dancer, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.520 which they call a billowy, balanced white imbued with a 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.320 feeling of serenity, a description they stole from my old 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:29.400 bumble profile. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.240 I thought that was a funny Joe. Plus the fact 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.280 that there's a color of the year. 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.560 The whole as a person involved in a remodel of 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.440 a home, at this point, I'll tell you, the whole 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.200 hot color thing is annoying. 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.000 Here's a little pro tip for you. 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.640 Unless you're willing to have your house repainted every couple 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.159 of years, if you go with the hot color, it 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:56.600 will be. 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.080 The Oh my god, that color is so out color 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.600 before you know it. Yeah, like in the blink of 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.080 an eye. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:07.280 Yeah, so beware, beware coming up. I don't know, next hour, 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.280 maybe tomorrow, I can't remember. It doesn't matter. We'll get 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.879 to it eventually. But I want to retell to you 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:18.000 one of the oldest stories that you've heard, a time 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:22.040 honored story, story you've heard over and over again. In 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:27.920 that time, Caesar Augustus ordered that woke cities should try 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:28.800 rent control. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.120 See what happens. 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:36.480 Well, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota have taken opposite approaches 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.520 to rent control, and you will be completely unshocked by 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.400 the outcome of that little experiment right there on either 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:44.120 side of a river. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.320 For some reason, it never occurred to me before, but 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:54.000 Saint Paul is obviously named after Saint Paul Saul of Tarsus. Yes, 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.400 really pretty much the spreader of the entire Christian thing, 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.840 Saint Paul of all places about his Woka town as 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:01.560 you could come up with. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.040 Yeah, but not as woke as their big brother Minneapolis Jack, 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.560 as we learn anyway. So I thought this was interesting. 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:16.639 The question of rage baiting, which is intentionally posting something 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.760 to social media that you know will anger people. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.720 What was the one last week. It was a joke 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.280 that we used a couple of times. Is it about 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.879 Christmas or Santa? It was a rage bait thing. It 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:27.840 was very very funny. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.639 It'll head yeah, yeah, just jump in when it does. 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.840 You're right, Katy, Well, I remember it was saying like 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.000 something like posting I hate Santa, yeah, something about just 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.880 to yeah, just to make people mad. 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:43.240 Yeah. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.080 It's beyond like a strong opinion. It's intentionally trying to 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:51.199 anger people. And interestingly enough, that was the word of 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.560 the year by the Oxford University Press. I have no 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.120 idea what their color of the year was, but their 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.560 word or term of the year was rage bait. And 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.879 you know, at first, Blush is a human being. You 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.760 might think that it's not a great idea to post 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:12.639 content that antagonizes people, right, I mean, imagine that's how 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.720 you behaved it like cocktail parties or Christmas gatherings. But 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.600 people who post content on social media make more money 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.080 if their channel has high levels of engagement, regardless of 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:28.960 how positively people might be responding. And in addition, they're 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:33.479 writing in this piece. Social media platforms use algorithms that 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.119 tailor the content we see to what we're likely to 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:40.359 engage with, whether positively or negatively, and so that doesn't 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.120
