WEBVTT - The Chicken Tacos Were Selling Like Crazy

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty sow this

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Epstein story. Is it finally over?

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 4>It might be finally over for for any reporting of

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 4>mainstream news.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 5>The hardcore conspiracy theorists are are fired up by the

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 5>latest moves, so they're not done.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's driven a lot by the q Andon crowd.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 4>The two things being there are a whole bunch of politicians,

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 4>the Obama's, the Clinton's, Hollywood stars who are involved in

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 4>child sex trafficking, and that there are hundreds of thousands

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 4>of kids that are being child sex traffic with the

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 4>help of big powerful people, and it's being all tied

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 4>to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being covered up. And then you

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 4>got all the remember the Panda eyes thing. I mean,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 4>it's just there's lots of well and it.

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Used to be Democrats. Democrats are doing all this well.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 5>Now it's the Trump administration as well. Based on the

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 5>last announcement.

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>I personally know a number of people who were excited

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 4>about Trump getting elected because finally this will come forward.

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 4>All this information will come out about the child sex trafficking,

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 4>and then people are very disappointed that cash Ptel with

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 4>the FBI and Trump and Pam Bondi, the Attorney General

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 4>and others are covering it up or whatever. Anyway, So

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Trump has a cabinet meeting yesterday with all his secretaries

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 4>and starts taking questions and answers questions for damn near

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 4>two hours. Man, Joe Biden didn't answer questions that much

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 4>total in four years of presidency. But somebody asked about Epstein.

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Here it goes your.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 6>Memo and Relissia James.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 7>Jeffrey Epstein less leader in this reas.

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 6>One of the biggest ones is whether he ever works

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 6>for an American for foreign intelligence agency. So could you

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 6>resolve whether or not you did? And also can you

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.119
<v Speaker 6>see why there was a minute to scene from jail

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 6>house team.

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, sir, just interested. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 8>This guy's been talked about for years. You're asking, we

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 8>have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things,

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 8>and are people still talking about this guy that's created

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 8>that is unbelievable? Right?

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 4>So the whole was Jeffrey Epstein involved in one of

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 4>our intelligence services because there's belief that he's tied in

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 4>with the Mascade, and that's the leverage that netan Yahoo

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 4>has over Trump because Epstein blah blah blah.

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Here's a little more from Trump in that same press conference.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 8>Do you want to waste the time and do you

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 8>feel like answered?

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 7>I don't mind answering.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question at

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 8>Epstein at a time like this where we're having some

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 8>of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 8>in Texas.

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 7>It just seems like a desecration.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 8>But you go ahead.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 4>To some people that was proof that Trump is on

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 4>the list, the supposed Epstein list, and is now trying

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>to cover that up. Yeah, we got a couple of

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>emails from folks saying I'm losing confidence with this administration.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 5>The gas lighting continues, just like under Biden. Here's a

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 5>gal who thinks Netnahuo nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 5>because the Masad and CIA used Epstein, the blackmail politicians,

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 5>et cetera, et cetera. Thousands of children have been children

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 5>been trafficked, and Bongino, Patel and Bondi are obeying orders

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 5>from Trump, and obviously Trump is.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 2>In on the cover up. According to this emailer, Wow,

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that's quite the conspiracy.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of Bondi, Pambondi, the Attorney General, she was asked

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 4>about so, first, you spent a lot of time talking

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 4>about this list and it was on your desk and

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>you're going to release it. Then the big announcement over

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 4>the weekend was there is no list anyway, here's Pam

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.839
<v Speaker 4>Bondy sure.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Sure. First to back up on that, in February, I

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>did an interview on Fox and it's been getting a

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of attention because I said, I was asked a

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>question about the client list, and my response was it's

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 1>sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>along with the JFK MLK files as well.

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 7>That's what I meant by that.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so not the list specifically, it I mean, well,

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 5>it's the imprecise answer to the question.

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not out, it's not totally crazy to me. Well,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>let's hear more from her.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Also, to the tens of thousands of video they turned

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Child porn is what they were never going to be released,

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>never going to see the lighted day to him being

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>an agent.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 7>I have no knowledge about that. We can get back

0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 7>to you on that.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 4>I wish she hadn't said that at the end. I mean,

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>that's true, they have no knowledge of that, but it's

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 4>not a thing. There's no evidence whatsoever that Jeffrey Epstein

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 4>was involved in any high level intelligence agencies would have

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 4>been a bet everything.

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 5>To say I was just reading a piece in Axios

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 5>that was super interesting about this shadowy CIA character who

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 5>was dealing with Lee, Harvey Oswald and other pro castro

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 5>activists way back in the day. Bears no light whatsoever

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 5>on the assassination of Kennedy. But the one thing it

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 5>does make clear is the CIA will do what it wants,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 5>and it will say whatever it wants in response to questions,

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 5>even from on high. They have throughout their history lied

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 5>like crazy to preserve you know, mission.

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Secrecy, and at every point in our history, probably including now,

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 4>we all think well that was the old base. Now

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 4>they don't do that sort of thing, right, Which is

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 4>not to say we're leaping at some sort of you know,

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 4>a nutty conclusion about Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of it.

0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 4>But I understand why people have their suspicions. Well, that

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 4>was interesting. I didn't I don't remember hearing that Jeffrey

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 4>Epsteam had so he had thousands of hours of child porn. Really,

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know that that was part of his whole deal. Well,

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 4>we did know that it was, you know, under the

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 4>age of eighteen. So if you're calling that child porn,

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:22.359
<v Speaker 4>I guess, and that's technically accurate. Here's more from Pambondi and.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 7>The minute missing from the video.

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>We released the video showing definitively the video was not conclusive,

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 7>And what was on that there was a minute that

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 7>was off the counter.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>And what we learned from euron Prisons was every year,

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>every night they redo that videos old from like nineteen

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine, So every night the video is reset and

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>every night should have the same minute missing. So we're

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>looking for that video to release that as well, showing

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that a minute is missing every night and that's it.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 7>Hot.

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 4>So there's a missing minute of footage from overnight of

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 4>the jail cell. She's saying that that's the way the

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 4>camera works because they reset it. That's a bad system,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 4>or you have a full minute of no cameras every night.

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 5>But well, I'm trying to remember the system from nineteen

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 5>ninety nine, So what would that be some sort of

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, limited space hard drive.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Probably I don't know. Yeah, I mean, like we said yesterday,

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 2>you gotta admit.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's pretty damn convenient that the camera's turned

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 4>off for a minute and then you come back and

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 4>the guy's dead.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hell, yes, Well.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 5>If I were like a fake QAnon type character online,

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.559
<v Speaker 5>I'd be thinking, Man, this is too easy, all this stuff.

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>They're giving me so much to work with. It's effortless.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 4>The problem I always had he had every reason in

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 4>the world to kill himself and like no reason to

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 4>stay alive.

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 5>Right right, I would agree, But Sadie German wrote a

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 5>piece in the Wall Street Journal today that I think

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 5>is pretty fair and they're too aspects to it that

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 5>I thought we're worth mentioning number one. She says Pam

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 5>Bondi's tendency to exaggerate is catching up on her, catching

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 5>up to her. She she tries very hard to be

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 5>exciting and flamboyant and very maga a la Trump but

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 5>Trump has a teflon quality that other people don't get

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 5>away with, and I think Pam is guilty of that probably.

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.599
<v Speaker 5>And they go through a couple of quotes and that

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 5>ridiculous where they had a bunch of influencers show up

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 5>in the White House driveway and and waived files from

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 5>Epstein that turned out to be just like his rolodex,

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 5>which was nothing new.

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing interesting to that, blah blah blah.

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 5>But the other aspect of this that I found interesting,

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 5>just you know, looking at MAGA world, the about face

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 5>on the because she had once uh promised to release

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 5>quote a truckload of documents from the FBI investigation.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, you say that sort of crap, you should pay

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 4>a price for it. I mean, you can't go around

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 4>saying that, right.

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 5>But the about face drew a course of criticism from

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 5>right wing figures, including Glenn Beck, which I found interesting.

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 5>I haven't heard Glenn in ages, but I don't know,

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, the nature of what he's talking about these days.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 5>Benny Johnson, who is and Jack Pisobiak. Laura Lumer asked

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 5>late Monday on X quote, how many more times is

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 5>this woman going to get away with effing everything up

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 5>before she is fired. So MAGA world, at least that

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 5>section of it is turning on Pam BONDI well, part

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 5>of it is the Epstein file has got to be.

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 4>If it's in the top one thousand of priorities of

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 4>things she's thinking about every day, I'd be surprised. Yeah,

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 4>is this is this the whole Epstein case file list

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 4>going to be something I hear about from some people

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 4>for the rest of my life?

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent. One hundred percent. Yes, Wow, Okay, Well

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 2>there you go. For what it's worth.

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 5>There has been very little indication lately that Trump listens

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 5>to and responds to that kind of pardon me, but

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 5>whack a doodal wing of Maga. He wants their support,

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 5>soft pedals, that he's gentle with them and all. But

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 5>other than a couple of early appointments during the transition period,

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 5>I haven't seen a lot of evidence that they're really

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 5>yanking his chained the Tucker Carlson influence, for instance, Teyroan Tucker,

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 5>where is it?

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's where Do I see this article I read

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 4>over the weekend about how the mainstreaming of Donald Trump,

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 4>how many mainstream positions he's got right now in terms

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 4>of things that he has done were set.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 2>That's weird. I heard he was the new Hitler.

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Back to you anyway, that's enough of that. Working on

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 4>getting rid of my RBF. I want to tell you

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 4>how that's coming along and maybe it can work for you.

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 4>I took some suggestions.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Plus, discipline in schools is making a comeback. That's great news.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 4>God, I'd say so, it's all the way stay here

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 4>played for me Clip twenty one, Michael. I'm very excited

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 4>about this story.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 9>The big change at American airports, the TSA saying effective immediately,

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 9>all passengers will be able to keep their shoes on

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 9>through security, something we haven't seen in nearly twenty years.

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>But there is a caveat.

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 9>If that scanner alarm goes off for a special screening,

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 9>you will need to take those shoes off.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 4>What a dumb caveat. So here's what I haven't heard

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 4>anybody ask about this, and this is what I would

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 4>love to know. This is having lived through the pandemic

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 4>and finding out that six feet apart was completely made up.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely one percent out of whole cloth made up.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 4>So this wasn't completely made up because we did have

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 4>that one dude try to set his shoes on off.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.599
<v Speaker 4>But I'd like to know how long has it not

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 4>been necessary for people to take their shoes off?

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>How much good was it doing.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 4>I'd like somebody to explain that just because we all

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.079
<v Speaker 4>have to live under these various rules that they come

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 4>up with now and then again, as we all learned

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 4>through COVID.

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes they're just made up and there's nothing to

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 2>back them up.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 4>I hope somebody comes forward with that. So I'll bet

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 4>some at some point I would be not surprised to hear, Yeah,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 4>the whole taking your shoes off thing, there's no evidence

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 4>that did any good, it ever stopped the terrorist attack

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 4>or we knew like three years ago or fifteen years

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 4>ago that this wasn't necessary. I would like to know that,

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 4>right right, Yeah, because you know, having lived through six

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 4>feet apart, would it be surprising do you to find

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 4>that out?

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Not me.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 2>We got a great note.

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 5>By the way from Paolo about how the forced consensus

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.959
<v Speaker 5>in COVID is so much like the forced consensus on

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 5>climate change we're talking about.

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 2>At some point.

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so you say I brought up this idea of

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 4>getting read of my RBF or my rmf resting murdery

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 4>face and got a pair amount of responses, not only

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 4>on the text line, but in real life because if

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 4>you have it, you know you have it, and it

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 4>bothers you. You realize that you come off as unapproachable

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 4>or off putting to people in a way that you

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 4>don't want to be, particularly if you're shingle perhaps, And

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 4>so I'm trying to do something about it, and I'd

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 4>read this article about how you can change your resting

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 4>facial expression, but it takes time. It's really like working

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 4>on your posture or your golf swing or the way

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 4>you play guitar, any of those things.

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's a muscle memory thing. It's just getting

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in the habit of it.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 4>And you know, like for a long time, I changed

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 4>the way I played guitar way I held my pick

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 4>after twenty five years of holding it the same way,

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 4>and it was really really hard to do for quite

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 4>a while before it became natural and normal. And that's

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 4>the way I do it all the time, because you're

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 4>going against all that in your brain and muscle memory

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 4>and all that sort of stuff, and to hold it

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 4>with your between your toes now exactly and you can

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 4>do that with your face, but it takes a lot

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 4>of practice, and as I pointed out yesterday and the

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 4>suggestions from this article, where you got to look in

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 4>the mirror to do this. But I feel like if

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 4>I make a just neutral face, it feels it feels

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>to me like I'm mediating hatred. It feels to me

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 4>like I'm smiling like a lunatic. That's what it feels

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 4>like in my brain, in my face to just have

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 4>a neutral face, to try to get my mouth to

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 4>just to turn up my lips just a little bit

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 4>on the corners and not look so angry.

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Turn them up more. Because that face you just made,

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was the before, not the after. Tell

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 2>out this. Yeah, oh see, I feel like you're plotting

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>on me when you look at me like that plotting

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on you, Yeah, like you're up to no good.

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 4>You're right, yeah, But the other face I have is

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 4>like I'm going to hit you in the head with

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 4>a hammer, son shilling.

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a step in the right direction either way. I'm

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>in a defensive posture.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 10>But it's weird how it feels in my brain, like

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 10>I am like, you know, people who have this giant hey,

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 10>how you do it look on you. That's what it

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 10>feels like in my head, just to try to get

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 10>to somewhere near neutral.

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, that'll change.

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Like you're saying, the interesting aspect of this to me

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 4>is and you kind of said it in the other direction,

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 4>was that your resting facial expression is not one of

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 4>those It is what it is, and there's no changing it.

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 4>You absolutely can change it. Yeah, it's very much like

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 4>your posture. Although, man, was there a great article in

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 4>the New York Times a while back did I talk

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 4>about this on the air, about how much the whole

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 4>posture thing was completely made up. It's like the six

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>feet apart or taking your shoes off of the air.

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>It was just made up. It's like one etiquette person

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>thought it was important to sit up straight.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 4>And somehow I caught on and became a thing for

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 4>like a century before anybody looked into the fact that

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't really make any difference at all.

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>If you like this, or if you said like that,

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't have any effect on anything.

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 5>As you know, I prefer to walk along hunched over

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 5>with my arms, swinging feet like an ape and just

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 5>more comfortable with that the whole you know, that that

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 5>whole posture Nazism, the fascism of.

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Standing up straight. I've had enough of it.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 4>For some reason, I noticed it as I was walking

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 4>through one of the art galleries in New York. I

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 4>had my hands behind my back as I strolled along,

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 4>and my kids said, you look so old right now

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 4>walking with your hands behind your fag.

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's my art gallery walk. If the orthopedic

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>shoe fits huh so. Good news.

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 4>One more idiotic woke policy is starting to be rolled back,

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 4>and that has to do with school discipline. Yeah, talk

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 4>about that, among other fair Hope you can stay tuned

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 4>if you can't subscribe to our podcast Armstrong and Getdy

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 4>on demand.

<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 11>Betteran women's cyclists or accusing the sports governing body of

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 11>intentionally hiding the fact that a biological male was going

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 11>to be competing at the Road Racing National Championships in

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 11>Wisconsin last week. That transgender cyclist Kate kJ Phillips ultimately

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 11>won that race by passing the other cyclist in the

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 11>final sprint to win by a single second.

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>One hundred races against women, thousands against in group rides,

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>sprinting against men, and I knew at that sprint that

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that was a man's.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Sprint, big hulking dude too. Wow, just unbelieved. Wow, that's interesting.

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 4>So a woman who has participated in lots of bike

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 4>rides with both men and women, could tell that was

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 4>a dude.

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>When you got passed.

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, sure of course, because men are bigger

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 5>and stronger, have denser bones, bigger lungs and heartst cetera,

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 5>et cetera, should be competing against men. One more example

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 5>of lunatic, lefty woke policies that are finally being rolled

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 5>back by sanity. And we've got a couple of more,

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 5>and you know that reminds me. Maybe next hour we

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 5>can talk about this, the whole Memdanni trying to pass

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 5>himself off as African American. You know, I've been tempted

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 5>not to even talk about her, to bring it up,

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 5>because I think all of that identity politics is so

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 5>stupid and corrosive. And I'm like, good, you know, Hoysted,

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 5>done your own petart or whatever that expression is. You

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 5>know you're gonna live by that stuff, You're gonna die

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 5>by it.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't care.

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 5>But the depth of hypocrisy it reveals is I don't know,

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 5>maybe worth touching on, but anyway, I want to get

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 5>to this.

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 2>She didn't claim he was black.

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 4>He just he checked the box African American, knowing how

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 4>it would help him.

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, taking advantage of how imprecise and silly that

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.159
<v Speaker 2>term is.

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 4>But knowing that the reason it existed was to help

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 4>black Sure. Yeah, yeah, but you know he's he's a scammer.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 5>Those people again, there are useful idiots who go along

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 5>with some of their doctrines thinking they're doing the right thing,

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 5>but at their core, like DEI, is not about diversity.

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 5>It's about takeover. It's about conquest of institutions. You call

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 5>something racist until you control it. Anyway, school discipline is

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 5>making a comeback. Discipline policy in K through twelve public

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 5>schools rode the progressive tide on race and crime in

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 5>recent years. Right so the editorial board of the journal,

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 5>as the Feds and states pushed therapy over suspensions and expulsions.

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 5>But classroom misbehavior has surged since the COVID lockdowns, and

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 5>some states are responding with changes that will benefit teachers

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 5>and students. Jack, I'm sure you've got plenty of real

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 5>world examples and illustrations.

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the term restorative justice hasn't come up yet, but

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 4>that's the whole movie that swept the country for I

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 4>don't know how many years, but I ran up against

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 4>it with my kids a couple of different times, and

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 4>I've called it the Golden Age of being a bully,

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 4>which is interesting given the fact that we've had several

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 4>first ladies in a row make bullying their number one cause,

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 4>and there are all these anti bullying PSAs on radio

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 4>that didn't used to exist when there was far less bullying,

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 4>and it all happened at the same time as restorative justice,

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 4>which was allowing bullies to do whatever they wanted because

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 4>you blame the victim and the person who did it

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 4>exactly the same way, and then there's no consequences, right,

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 4>they just both.

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.959
<v Speaker 5>Have feelings to share, We'll share those. Failing reason, then

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 5>no consequences. Well, the Texas legislature and may pass the bill.

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 5>It makes it easier for teachers to remove misbehaving students

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 5>from classrooms and extends the allowable time for in school suspensions.

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Some thirty three hundred Texas School District employees were assaulted

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 5>by students in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.439
<v Speaker 5>according to the Texas Tribune, thirty three hundred.

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:01.400
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy.

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.120
<v Speaker 5>And in many states around the country you don't even

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 5>get in serious trouble for assaulting a teacher. I'll bet

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 5>there was like a century in this country where it

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 5>didn't happen. Maybe more than twice in the whole country.

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Arkansas lawmakers in April passed a law that ensures students

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 5>removed for violent behavior or not return to the same classroom.

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Legislature are also stripped from state law requirement that districts

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 5>use positive behavioral support, which focuses on conflict resolution and

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 5>coping skills to address student misbehavior. I mean, if you

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 5>want to throw some of that stuff in with the punishment,

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 5>I have no problem with that. You got a kid

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 5>with anger problems, or maybe things are going sideways at

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 5>home or whatever, and you want to understand that.

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.479
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, but you cannot remove the sanction.

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 4>No, at some point, regardless of what the reason is,

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.720
<v Speaker 4>that kid can't go to school and beat other kids.

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.200
<v Speaker 5>You just can't let that go, right, exactly, have to

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 5>be lines bright lines. Washington State, for the love of

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 5>all that is progressive. Their superintendent state superintendent finalized rules

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 5>effective this month that loosen restrictions on removing, suspending, or

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 5>expelling students because the restorative justice experiment, like so many

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.159
<v Speaker 5>progressive policies, the best way to discredit them is to

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 5>implement them.

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a miserable failure.

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 4>Louisiana and Louisiana Nevada have taken similar actions, and they

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 4>mentioned both those states, the state teachers union supported legislation

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 4>making it easier to remove students. Yes, so their constituents

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 4>being beaten on became even more important than their wild

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 4>progressive pologies. I was about to say, the kids being

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 4>beaten up at school and being afraid to go to

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 4>school and being told that do you you have to

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.359
<v Speaker 4>talk to an adult, talk to adult, do not respond

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.359
<v Speaker 4>talk to an adult, and then the adults do effing nothing.

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 4>I saw this over and over again. That's why I

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 4>taught my kids. He hits you, you punch him right

0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 4>in the nose. And then I got yelled at by

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 4>teachers for saying that you don't do anything. You don't

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 4>do anything. The kids have no choice but to fight back.

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 4>The whole go to an adult thing is crap.

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I was given the same advice check.

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 4>It's ridiculous anyway. I think when the teachers started getting attacked,

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 4>the power of the teacher union turned into a good

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 4>thing because they were able to say, hey, wait, putting

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 4>up with this anymore.

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, doing what a teacher's union ought to do, not

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 5>advocating for radical politics like for instance, for the UH.

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 5>It's the United Auto Workers that organize the university campuses

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 5>at least in cal Unicornia and some other states, and

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 5>they've become just radical leftist organizations, and they use the

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 5>power of the union not to get like better wages

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 5>and benefits and stuff like that.

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 2>No, they use the power of the union to enforce

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 2>like radical leftist politics, which is just bizarre. We're on

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that side.

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I'll never forget the look on the face of the

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 4>particular human being when I them. Yeah, I've told my

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 4>kid if somebody punches them, to punch them right in

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 4>the nose. They looked at me like I was insane,

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Like I don't even know how to respond to somebody

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 4>would say something like you're a monster because you don't

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 4>do anything here, you don't do anything well. And the

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 4>kids who aren't blinded by out ideology, they do that

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 4>math quickly It's about the only math they learn in

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 4>public schools that, oh, I'm told not to defend myself.

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 4>The authorities will take care of it. But the authorities

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 4>never take care of the reverse part. The reverse parts

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 4>are the bigger problem.

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Though.

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 4>The kid that's doing the punching figures out very quickly.

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 4>Nobody's gonna do anything about this. I can beat up

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 4>whoever the hell I want.

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so true.

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 4>All of this marks is shift away from the progressive

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 4>push for therapeutic or restorative practices. The Obama administration encouraged

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 4>districts it yanked him by the chain of funding to

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 4>emphasize quote positive interventions over student removal. In at twenty

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 4>four guidance letter warning of racial disparities in traditional discipline

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty three, Biden administration Education Department advocated listening and

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 4>healing and warned that suspensions and expulsions quote often disproportionately

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 4>affects students of color, but soft disciplined policies have victims

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 4>of their own.

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Quote.

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 5>One district superintendent wrote in public comment, teachers are getting hit, kicked,

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 5>spit on, custed out the fact that we cannot suspend

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 5>these students and have to wait, in some cases weeks

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 5>until we can bring parents and teammate members together to

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 5>create a solution. Is leaving both teachers and administration with

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:37.880
<v Speaker 5>a feeling of helplessness.

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 2>And the kids too. For good. Yeah, the kids who

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 2>are not victimized.

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 4>That's what I was going to say. I feel bad

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.720
<v Speaker 4>for the teachers. At least they're adults, so they have

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 4>some way to deal with that. That's happened to all

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 4>the kids on the playground too, Lots of kids who

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 4>are scared to go to school because you allow that

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 4>to happen, You freaking weirdos. You allow these kids to

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 4>be scared to go to school because you have this strange,

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 4>progressive in spite of all of human history knowledge of

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 4>how this whole thing works.

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 2>And so finally we started happening to you. He decided

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>to do something about it.

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 4>And I'm glad you mentioned the funding part, because that's

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 4>why so many conservatives are against the Department of Education,

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 4>because yes, they do control your schools locally, and that

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 4>they will yank funding if you don't go along with

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 4>their whack job theories.

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 5>It's worth mentioning you can draw a bright line between

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 5>the obotoma administration's restorative justice practices, and the Florida shooter

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 5>getting away with slaughtering all those kids because he was

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.439
<v Speaker 5>a quote unquote minority and the school district officials were

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 5>terrified of suspending him or punishing him, or especially calling

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 5>the cops because that would become part of the schools

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 5>to jail's pipeline that you may remember progressive folks talked

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 5>about as an excuse not to ever discipline people because

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 5>you put people on the wrong side of quote unquote

0:26:56.200 --> 0:27:00.680
<v Speaker 5>the law, then they become prisoners because of your system racism.

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 5>And that's why that Florida kid got away with so

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 5>much for so long. At least one more note on this.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 5>I love this from Daniel Buck who's a former teacher.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 5>He wrote this for the Fordham Institute last year. Getting

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 5>back to your point, Jack about the kids who are

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 5>not victimizers are afraid to go to school. Peers of

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 5>disruptive students are robbed of learning time. Given that high

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 5>poverty schools struggle with the most with disciplinary challenges, keeping

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 5>disruptive students in classrooms only widens the achievement gain.

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>No kidding, boy, you gotta have a PhD to figure

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 2>that out.

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.879
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, folks, come you know, I happen to

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 5>be wearing my armstrong and get he cut the crap

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 5>T shirt. All of this stuff that defies common sense,

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 5>defies all of human history. As Jack pointed out, boys

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 5>playing girls sports, no negative repercussions for negative actions.

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is just it's crap. It's garbage.

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 4>It's woke nonsense still on society by professors who have

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 4>no interest in or experience in the real world.

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Cut the crap.

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.919
<v Speaker 5>I didn't even get into my screen, which I'm anxious

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 5>to get to at some point, Jack, partly for your benefit.

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 5>On the death of the public library, Oh yeah, I

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 5>saw that article. That is that is so oh my god.

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Let me just read the headline in the subhead to

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 4>you one comment, then I sweir, I'll shut up.

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 2>The death of the public library. This happens to be

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in the free press.

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Public libraries are in decline, not because of the Internet

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 5>or because people are reading less, but because they have

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 5>become defecto homeless shelters.

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 4>And I when did ransient shelter's junkie shelter. I used

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 4>to go to the Sacramento Public Library downtown all the time.

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 4>How many years ago. Was that that I just stopped

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 4>going And it wasn't. And it's exactly what that headline says.

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't because the internet or made it easier, different

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 4>thing technology or whatever. No, I like to checking out

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 4>books and CD and stuff like that, because it was

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 4>years ago. That's how long ago it wasn't CDs. It

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 4>became almost shelter.

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 2>It's scary and disgusting to go to the library in

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of places.

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:12.320
<v Speaker 4>And when I had kids, no way I was taking

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 4>my kids to the public library in Sacramento.

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>No freaking way.

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 4>Too many scary people are You certainly can't take your

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 4>five year old to the bathroom.

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 2>There's two dry addics in their washing their feet. Right.

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 5>So here's a question. Why wasn't this a problem twenty

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 5>years ago? Housing prices? No, not housing prices policy are

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 5>as a society willingness to put up with aberate behavior

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 5>in the name of compassion.

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I was at the target last night.

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 4>Took a long time to find somebody with a key

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 4>to unlock the glass so my son could get his

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 4>lego set that he wanted to buy.

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>They did, well, that's because of the high price of housing.

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Jack, Yeah, exactly, these weren't locked up when you were little,

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 4>but now they're locked up.

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>He was getting one of those adult lego sets like

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 2>a teenager would want. But uh yeah, and people just

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>accept that. That's funny. Things didn't used to be locked up,

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>now they're locked up. You just ignore that. You just

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 2>accept that, Okay whatever.

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Uh, very very manning. Actually people aren't accepting it, as

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 4>you can see from voting results. A bunch of different

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 4>places amen to that. Stay tuned Armstrong.

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 12>Heyety five years ago, my brother decided to be a vegan,

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 12>and I've spent multiple Thanksgivings with him, and I one

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 12>hundred percent would prefer my next Thanksgiving start with my

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 12>dad walking in and saying.

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lady now.

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 12>Then I would spending another Thanksgiving where my brother keeps

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 12>asking me, is there butter in this? I'm like, there's

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 12>butter in everything. Fun day was over in my apartment

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 12>and I just sort of threw a granola barb at

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 12>him because he looked like he was starving, and he

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 12>picked it up and he just started reading the label.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 12>If there was a logo for veganism, it should be someone.

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>At your home reading a label under problem.

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 4>Vegans are intolerable. Vegetarians are fine, can be annoying. Vegans

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 4>are in work. Yeah, and especially if you're evangelical, like

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 4>like you're trying to spread it.

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 2>You can't just be that quietly. You have to try

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:21.239
<v Speaker 2>to convince me right right.

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 5>You know, it occurred to me during the break that

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 5>the first thing we talked about is a perfect example

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 5>of the second thing we talked about, in that insisting

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:35.240
<v Speaker 5>that teachers not punch students was called white supremacy. You know,

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 5>showing up on time, working hard, not punching your teacher

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 5>is white supremacy culture, and if and thereby they could

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 5>change everything and take over school systems and the rest

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 5>of it by that argument.

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>But seriously, if having your teachers.

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Being unpunched is white supremacy, I guess I am one.

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any.

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Teachers punched anywhere, but they all only make those claims

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 5>that it's racism to put you on your heels. And

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 5>if minority kids are disproportionately disciplined, you got to go

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 5>to root causes.

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 4>And help the kids. Letting them become criminals does not

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 4>help them in any way.

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 2>That is racist.

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Got an update here, I'm looking up at the television.

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.959
<v Speaker 4>Barbie has just unveiled its first Barbie with type one diabetes.

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 4>So Naty, I know you're a little too old for

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 4>barbiees Gabe.

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.239
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to make one that all the kids can

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>relate to.

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 4>I think the first Barbie with type one diabetes, all right,

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:41.000
<v Speaker 4>that's a very odd story. First, the first Gi Joe

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 4>with I don't know, lasoriasis. I see a lot of

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 4>ads for that anxiety problems Gi Joe anxiety. I had something,

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 4>but I decided I'm going to save it for the

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 4>One More Thing podcast because it's so good. Wanted to

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 4>mention this at a text Misshappy yesterday. I have these

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 4>now and then. Maybe I'm not good at forming my texts,

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 4>but I think it's part of the nature of texting.

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever had like one where like somebody completely

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 4>misinterprets your text because it's very very difficult.

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 2>To pick up tone and text and and uh and

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 2>so that happens now and then.

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 4>But someone I saw yesterday someone once told me you

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 4>should never make absolute decisions over something communicated in a text,

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 4>And I think that is a is a good one.

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 2>If you're ever like, if you ever get a text

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, Eh, what you know? Explain more?

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:42.719
<v Speaker 4>Or I don't know how you approach it, but realize

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 4>you may be misinterpreting it. Her they because one word different.

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Can make a huge difference on a text. Again, since

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't know the tone at all. The second I

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 2>get that vibe, I pick up the phone and make

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the phone call.

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 4>That's a good idea, right there, Yeah, clear it up

0:33:57.000 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 4>quickly on the phone. Uh, yes, did you mean to

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 4>when sound as insulting as that was?

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:04.560
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all. Fact, I was trying to make

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a joke or something. Mmm, all right, that's never happened

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to you never.

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, it has text from you, as a matter

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 4>of fact, which is why I'm hesitating to comment, trying

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 4>to figure out how to approach it.

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm just bad at it. It's possible. Maybe maybe

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm bad at it. I don't.

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 5>If I thought you were, I would tell you. So

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 5>We've exchanged tens of thousands of texts through the years,

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:28.919
<v Speaker 5>so I don't.

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that's necessarily true. Perhaps when one is

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 5>in a crazed hurry for most of one's day.

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 4>That is what always, almost always is the culprit with

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.760
<v Speaker 4>me is like I'm doing it in my car voice,

0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.960
<v Speaker 4>texting or whatever. And then you leave out verbs or

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, mitigating terms or stuff like that, it seems

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 4>really harsh. Okay, I'll get it can come off as

0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 4>very you know, harsh, when that's not what you meant

0:34:59.160 --> 0:34:59.399
<v Speaker 4>at all.

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.800
<v Speaker 5>At one point I'd written my letter of resignation and

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 5>started a taco stand and sales were actually going quite well.

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>But then I thought, no, it's a text maybe Avrikna

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 2>what that far? We were already having good sales.

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, the chicken tacos were selling like crazy, so

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 5>spicy people, Armstrong and Getty
