WEBVTT - You've Got A Strong Attitude... & Testicles 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.600 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.240 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:19.880 Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.560 Cliff just announced a new ride share feature for teens. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.560 The company says that the new program will only match 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.680 teen passengers with drivers who meet the highest standards, including 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:39.280 background checks, safe driving records, and positive feedback history. Parents 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.720 will be able to track their teens location live. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.440 Interesting, at least in theory, you're not allowed to get 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.440 a ride for your kid, because I've run into that before. 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.160 I've been successful a few times where the driver didn't 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.040 pay any attention and picked up my kid and took 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.640 them to school or whatever. And I've always thought, damn it, 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:00.680 I wish you could do that, because be very handy 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.080 for me sometimes, but I don't have any way to get 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.000 my kid picked up or drop them off to send 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.120 an uber over there. Like I said, I've done it 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.160 a few times. But now, at least lift is going 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.320 to have a system where you can. I think it's 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:19.720 interesting that CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, I assume ABC is 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.640 the same, are all leading with the disappearance of Spanna 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.560 Guthrie's mom. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:26.440 Even though there. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:32.559 Is zero today, zero knew anything today, no no lead 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.039 story on everything. This has got to be about the end, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.640 doesn't it. I mean, can you go tomorrow again leading 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.320 with it with still nothing new? 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:43.199 They will try. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.960 The latest is that Savannah Guthrie put out a new 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.520 video saying it was our hour of desperation. But this 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.200 video is different than the other ones. It wasn't pre written, 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.880 she wasn't reading off a script, and it has more 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.760 of a you know, we're grasping at Straw's last gasp 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:07.640 sort of thing to it. Unfortunately, Yeah, I think it 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.680 has to do with the daytime TV audience, you know 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.840 what I mean, could be are the sort of people 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.120 who want this, no matter if their developments or not. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.200 It's kind of I don't know, I don't know. I'm 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.360 just we don't do that. So we're just letting you know. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.560 There is no new development. So if you you know 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.280 you're flipping around the channels to try to find Savannah 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.480 Guthrie update coverage, there's nothing new today, at least as 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.160 of this moment. Fair enough, So let's talk about law 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.280 and order in public safety kind of in a general sense, 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.400 We've got a handful of different stories applying to this, 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:43.640 including this is absolutely fabulous. Sarah is Ger who writes 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.280 for The Dispatch and she served in the first Trump 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.760 administration Justice Department. Super smart, decent, moral, one of the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.960 few left. Anyway, she's talking about one of the hot, 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.200 hot political stories of recent days. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.960 Well, once again we're seeing both parties switch sides. Did 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.200 it actually bend the Democrat party that had been in 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.200 favor of nationalizing voter registration for instance, and having the 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.160 federal government play a bigger role in our elections? And 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.680 it was Republicans who said, no, it's actually far more 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.080 secure to have fifty separate elections. And so once again 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:20.000 we see both sides switch. Democrats are discovering federalism and why, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.400 in fact, when you have a president that you don't 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760 like and you don't have control over which president's going 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.200 to win, you may actually want states to be in control. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.959 And it's Republicans now, who seem to have a very 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.919 short memory and attention span, who say, why don't we 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.520 nationalize the election for three years and then definitely we'll 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.160 never lose another presidential election. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.920 Again, this happens so much more often than the average 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.520 voter realizes because you're you know, you got your life 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.920 and you're not paying close enough attention that the parties 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.920 completely trade playbooks on different issues depending on. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.320 Whether or not they're in power. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.720 As I often say, they meet at midnight under the 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.280 Washington Monument and swap their playbooks and it's just, you know, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.000 it's the way the game is played. But it's just 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.680 not a game I have any interest in. It's just 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.080 discouraging speaking, which I have a new character to pay 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.840 attention to, and that would be Sheriff McFadden. What's his 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:21.560 first name, Gary McFadden, of Mecklenburg County. That is where Charlotte, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.240 North Carolina is. If you've never been to Charlotte, it's 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.960 gone from a sleepy, kind of medium sized city thirty 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.200 forty years ago when we lived there. When was that 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.960 thirty years ago? To a gigantic metroplex. It's one of 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:40.320 the most astounding transformations I've ever seen. Anyway, they have 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.280 a popularly elected sheriff, and this McFadden guy is one 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:49.560 of your local big time black community in Charlotte movers 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.000 and shakers and is popular and even though he's got 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.560 really no credentials, he got elected sheriff. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.559 Things have not gone terribly well. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:04.880 And they the North Carolina Legislature dragged the sheriff and 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.720 the mayor of Charlotte and the district attorney who's a progressive, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.320 into legislature and answer questions about that murder of that 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.279 poor Ukrainian woman on the train and other law and 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.080 order problems. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.039 And we'll start. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.440 This is a representative Brendan Jones in fifty Michael, to 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.599 give you a feel of the flavor pature. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.119 You called here today for one reason. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.159 And competence and competence in the law, and competence of 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.880 running jails, and competence of handling crime, and most notably, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.600 and competence and keeping the citizens of Mecklenburg County safe. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.640 That is to be frank completely unacceptable. I'm not going 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.880 to beat around the bush. This hearing is not going 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.640 to be butterflies and roses. This body is going to 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.720 get to the bottom of this crisis today. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.120 Butterflies and roses, you say, sounds like a nice time. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.760 Oh it's not going to be. Oh durn it. Okay. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.159 So here's state repped Allen Chesster talking to Sheriff McFadden. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.760 I think it kind of explains itself. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.039 Branch of government do you operate under. 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.440 Mecinborough County? 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.920 What branch of government do you operate under? 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:21.560 Sheriff? Constitution of the United States? 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.880 Correct, that is what establishes the branches of government. I'm 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.840 asking which branch you fall under? 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.240 Beckhamburg County, Mduley Sworn Meckinberg County Sheriff. We asked it 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.839 to the people of Mecinburg County. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:40.960 This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Are 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.000 you aware how many branches of government there are? 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:43.960 No? 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:51.120 Okay, for the sake of debate. 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.960 I will move on and say there are three branches 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.520 of government, legislative, executive, Judicial. Of those three, which do 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:58.520 you believe you fall under? 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.119 I believe I fall under the last one. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:02.920 Would you say it to him? 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:03.560 Judicial? 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.680 Okay, you are incorrect, sir, you fall under the executive. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:10.280 Okay. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.360 That's kind of amusing and amazing. Was that designed to 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:15.840 be a gotcha do you think? 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.680 Or no? Well? 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.080 No, as he said, I did not expect to get 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.960 hung up here. He was planning to go into the 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.920 functioning executive branch in the way it's supposed to work, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.280 and that was just like a foundational question. I think 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.040 I'm not sure he didn't have suspicions that this guy 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.640 couldn't answer the question, because he could have just have 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.080 just said, you are in the executive branch. Your job 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.680 is to execute the laws of this county and then 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:42.720 made his point. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:43.440 He didn't. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.880 Yeah, I think he wanted to expose him. He wanted 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.520 to expose him as an ignoran atmus It seems pretty 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.720 clear to me, right well, and I don't you seem 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.200 to be hinting that that sturdy pool. No, well, I 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.160 don't like gotcha questions in general. Just to make a point, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.840 but the guy should be able to answer the question. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.960 How many branches are there in a government? Yeah? 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.400 Anyway, So this guy's been accused of misconduct and extortion, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:15.040 also mismanaging resources, including directing on duty deputies to drive 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.000 people to bars and strip clubs in county owned vehicles. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:22.800 Let's see. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.960 The chairman asked yes or no if deputies ever drove 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.760 people to bars and strip clubs on duty. McFadden declined 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:32.120 to respond, even hypothetically. He also refused to come in 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:37.280 on inmate deaths, citing lawsuits. At one point, he said, yeah, 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.560 people die in the jail people die in hospitals too. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.880 State Republicans have begun referring to the sheriff as not 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:49.800 my fault McFadden, because he never takes accountability. There's some 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:55.319 more good stuff. I hate to traffic in stereotypes. Sometimes 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.959 I hate to traffic in them. Sometimes I like to 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.520 traffic in them. But in this case, I hate to 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.800 traffic in them. That's remark and we appreciate it. The 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.800 most racist person I've ever known in my life, and 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.920 I have not known very many people that were out 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.560 and out racists. I don't know if they if racists 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.040 are just really good at hiding it, like they figure 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.280 out whether you're, you know, one of them or not 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.480 and keep it to themselves or whatever. But the most 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.200 racist person I've ever known in my life was a 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.559 former cop from Mecklenburg County when we lived in Charlotte. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.520 And it was shocking to me how racist that guy was. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.600 And he was a guy that carried a gun and 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.120 then enforced the law using a finger quotes because I 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.800 don't know, I don't know, but it was it. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:36.480 Was amazing to me. 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.080 It was like, I mean, it played into the stereotype, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.920 like if it was in a you know a TV 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.959 show you would think, Okay, you've gone a little too 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.319 far with the white Southern racist cop. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.479 But this guy was a white Southern racist cop. Absolutely. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.000 It's troubling. And does that relate to this story somehow else? 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.280 Just a tale from the past. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.400 It's just a tale from the past from that area, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.120 just Mecklenburg County. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.400 I was I was shocked by that. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.680 I didn't I didn't know that it existed at that 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:05.600 level among cops. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.360 And this was in the nineties. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.559 Right right swing, as they used to say, it's three 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.600 o'clock drive twenty miles out of town and it's nineteen sixty. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:16.360 Yeah. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.480 Yeah, certain parts of the South, there's some truth to that. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.680 So although this guy's an incompetent boob who shouldn't be sheriff, ever, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.880 regardless of the color of his skin, that was some 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.439 Joba answering questions. Yeah, yeah, terrible. So I'm going to 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.280 start paying attention to me. He's quite the clown. Rough 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.800 Greens is a great thing for your dog.

Do you know? Do you like 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:37.040 you know? 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.319 I only know two that were out loud, would would 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.960 talk about things. I mean, they were just declaring they 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.400 were racist. I've only known two in my whole life, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.560 and I'm I'm sure there were more, but they were 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.960 keeping it quieter. But it's not as prevalent as it 0:11:55.040 --> 0:12:00.560 is portrayed. I'd prefer the term bigot, okay, for reasons 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.800 that are picky, but I've known a couple of white people. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.080 I have known a couple of black people, a couple 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.720 of Asian people. You opened up a different category I 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.280 hadn't thought about, and a handful of people who are 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:20.000 flaming anti Semites, which is as bigotry, as ugly as 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.720 exists on earth. It's funny you opened up a category that, 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.480 for some reason I hadn't thought about it. I was only 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:28.880 picturing white people I've known. I've known plenty of people 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.840 of other races who are racist, but like, in my mind, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.000 it doesn't count because that's kind of what we're told 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.280 in our culture, that you can be racist if you're 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.360 Black against Mexicans, or if you're Mexican against Guatemalans or whatever, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.800 which wouldn't be racial, but it's just you know, talk 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.360 to a Japanese person about Chinese people or vice versa, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.880 or talk to a Filipino about any of them. Yeah, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.199 it's funny that, even in my own mind, knowing how 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.320 there shouldn't be a distinction, I didn't count that crowd, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.640 which I've known many more than two. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.120 Who would think you need a slapping out loud. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.679 Say oh no, you can't trust blank or a blank 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.000 or family moved in, you know, lock your stuff up 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.720 or whatever. Right, that's something that is really interesting. Any 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.240 thoughts on that text line? Four one five two nine 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.160 f KFTC. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.360 I gotta tell you what a weekend Super Bowl Sindy, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:27.720 And what a game? 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:29.360 What a game it was. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.400 Man, if you like high scoring contest with the outcomes 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:39.680 of doubt till the final, suspenseful climactic seconds, this was not. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:40.480 The game for. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.559 Slow grinding. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.000 It merely took all the fun out of watching the 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:52.920 Patriots loose. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.600 So John Stewart got into the whole bad Bunny thing 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.000 at one point on the Daily Show last night, and 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.400 he said, so, you know, everybody does nut picking on 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.359 this stuff. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.360 I suppose we do it. Everybody does it. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.640 You pick somebody that represents a point of view that 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.480 you can easily attack and then you play that or whatever. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.640 But so he played a clip of someone saying on 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.160 Fox or something that the halftime show should bring people together, 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.440 and John Stewart's attack on that was, since when does 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.480 the halftime act have the requirement of bringing people together? 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.280 That's not their job. They don't have to bring people together. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.600 There's no law that the halftime show has to bring 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:42.160 people together, which is true enough, But since when do 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:46.400 I have to enjoy entertainment in a foreign language? That's 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:51.320 what I don't get why I in the constant argument 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.720 of the NFL is trying to reach out to the Hispanica. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.240 I get it, I know, I'm I understand. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.600 Completely that they're trying to bring in a giant, different 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.440 audience from other countries. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.360 But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it. How 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.080 can those things be so complicated to people? 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.360 That doesn't mean I have to sit there and pretend 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.040 that I like getting a history lesson in Puerto Rican 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:15.560 in a language. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.040 I don't understand why I had no idea what was 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:17.440 going on. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.160 It's just a beautiful example of people talking past each other. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.400 John Stewart acted as if the issue was something completely 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.480 different than it was and lectured you that you shouldn't 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.400 be worried about something you you weren't worried about. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.000 No, I'm not offended. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.720 I just it was. You know, it's forty five minutes 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.040 in between the quarters where there was nothing for me, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.480 and they made no effort whatsoever to give me anything. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.360 To me, the big difference was the setup to the 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.440 musical play, whatever history lesson was. The print they put 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.320 on the screen had no subtitles, So you didn't even 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.840 make the slightest effort to get me interested in what 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.800 was going on there, just told me the setting is 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.160 Puerto Rico, seventies, sugarcane field. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.520 Even that I might have thought, okay. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.400 Then tried to figure out what was going on through 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.520 the acting and the music or whatever. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:12.960 But you didn't give me anything. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.920 The idea that the question was never even asked, what 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:22.040 do we do for the English speakers stretches the credulity, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.400 and my credulity doesn't have a lot of stretching it. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.280 It hurts I just so they had to have considered 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.000 that question and said, no, let's not do anything. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.520 I've been saying the same thing forever. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.000 I don't think I've ever heard anybody else say there's 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:41.560 nothing unnatural about wanting the language in the town you 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.120 live in to stay the language you speak. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:45.760 That doesn't make you a bad person. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.120 That's the most common that's going to be common throughout 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.080 human history, that wherever you are on planet Earth, that 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.080 people would like the culture that in their town to 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.480 stay the same, not be radically changed. You can make 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.160 all the arguments about multiculture, those bringing in immigrants in 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.480 the workforce, and bob all these things, but you still 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.240 can't get past it's just human nature too. I like 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.760 it better when my entertainment isn't an language. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.880 I get Yeah, the I. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.119 Think it's another great example of if you're on the 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.639 right side of the aisle, you spend your entire life 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.560 hearing the messages of the left and their points of 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.919 view and theories and policies and stuff like that, and 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.960 you develop arguments for why you think they're unwise or 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.560 they ought to be changed or whatever. The John Stewarts 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.240 of the world never even hear what you just said. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.879 They are never exposed to conservative thought. So again, he's 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.640 answering a question that hasn't been asked. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.679 Why didn't it bring us together? 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.760 I haven't heard a single person right of center or 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.520 center say that about the super Bowl halftime show. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:49.480 It was what you just said. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.400 So about one hundred and thirty million people on average 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.439 watch the Super Bowl. That is an insanely large crowd 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.560 by today's standards, where a hit TV show gets two million. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.080 I mean, that's just amazing, Son wonder advertisers want to 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.120 be on there. And Bad Bunny at halftime is about 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.679 one hundred and forty million people watching Bad Bunny at halftime. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.159 One hundred and forty million. Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.159 Do you remember the Algerian box through went gold at 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.920 the twenty twenty four Olympics. While beating up women, everybody 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.280 could see that she was clearly a he, and a 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.640 surprise to no one, the boxer finally admitted he has 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:31.359 male chromosomes. In fact, his natural testosterone is so high 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.920 he uses hormone treatments to lower it for competition. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:37.440 It was from the summer Olympics. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.080 If you remember that he beat the hell out of 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.960 a couple of women, and like a couple of women, 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.720 at least one quit like got punched once was like, no, 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:50.000 I ain't fighting this guy gonna kill me right as 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.080 your summer Olympics. He got another transathlete thing in a second. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.240 But speaking Olympics, I was just watching some highlights. So 0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:00.000 for some reason, on the TV for about forty eight hours, 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:04.439 people decided showing Lindsey Vaughan crashing was not cool. They 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.639 cut away from it on NBC when it happened, and 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.360 then I didn't see any replays of it, just still pictures. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.479 But then somebody decided it's okay. Now I've seen it 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.840 a thousand times in the last twenty four hours, and 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:17.959 now it's just run on a loop for crashing. It's 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.040 funny how that works. It's like somebody had I don't 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.720 know who went first, and everybody thinking they're showing it, 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.159 so we got to show it. So now now we're 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.879 showing our crash. Yeah, sensationalism won out over scruples. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:30.399 I don't know. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.440 I guess you don't want to watch it. I actually 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.320 haven't seen it and don't expect to. No, it's not 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.160 a big deal. It's just interesting that they held back 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:38.439 on it for a couple of days and then all 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.480 of a sudden, Okay, we're all gonna show it like 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:46.040 over and over again. Oh and they just showed the 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.160 highlights from curling, which is it's just so, I'm fine 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.560 with curling. I don't I don't care what's in the 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.680 Olympics or what's not. But this is just an odd one. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.760 I mean, if you're gonna have curling, could you have 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.960 bottle flipping? Or who can do a Rubik's cube the 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:03.520 fastest or all kinds of things. It's arguably somewhat athletic. 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:08.040 It's physical. It's the PBR, the paps, flu Rivenu sports people. 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.359 I think mostly like it ironically. Yeah, I'm sure it's fun. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.199 I've had a couple of Molson's. I'm hanging out with 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.119 my buddies in northern Wisconsin or whatever. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.800 Let's get it on. Sure, why not? 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.520 Speaking of the trans athlete thing, though, you got a 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.600 transgender California high schooler who snatched up first place for 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.840 the girls this past Saturday, just the other day at 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.480 the Winter Championships for high school in California. It was 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.480 in Riverside County. Ad to go, sir, wait to beat 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:36.480 up on those girls. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:37.160 Nice job. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.199 It is a child, sixteen year old ab hernandez A 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.240 senior in high school. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:43.280 The same dude. 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.080 Who's been whipping up on girls in all sorts of well, 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.919 really recorded a jump of thirty nine feet ten inches, 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.240 beating out the second place person, who was a girl. 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:56.159
