By the way, I am nothing but intrigued 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: by these choices. I don't believe for a second there's 48 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: going to be some sort of cataclysmic, you know, miscalculation 49 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: where Pete Hegxas sells off the Navy to buy more 50 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: drinks so he can be somewhat buzzed, you know. And 51 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: I just the harem scare them stuff, And this is 52 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: a good thing. The boy who cried wolfisms are just 53 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: so thick in the air right now, it's getting easier 54 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: and easier to ignore them, and people are well. 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 4: All that stuff pales in comparison to the fact that 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 4: we may have discovered yesterday where life came from, which 57 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 4: has been one of the big mysteries of the planet forever. 58 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: Why did life start? Nobody knows. 59 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: Well, they found some organic matter on a meteorite that 60 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 4: they were able to prove that was released yesterday by 61 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: scientific paper that the theory that many have had for 62 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 4: many years that there was life on some other planet somewhere, 63 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: piece of it broke off, traveled through space, hit our planet, 64 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: and you know, put into the ground some of the 65 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: building blocks of getting life going that might be how 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: all the whole thing started, which is just unbelievable. 67 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: If I may. 68 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Interject, to save hundreds of people writing emails, jacket was 69 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: the hand of God that decided there should be life 70 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: on Earth. And you know what's funny about that, that 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: that quote unquote debate is that never, that's never been 72 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: a paradox for me. 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: This is never I'm a god in opposition, I'm a 74 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: god guy. That does not that. 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 4: I don't find a rubbing point there where I've got 76 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: right if you. 77 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: Believe in the Almighty, that is the mechanism by which 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: God Almighty did it. But how freaking fascinating is that? Oh, 79 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: it's it's it's crazy interesting from how far away? 80 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: What plenty we were talking about this a couple of 81 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: weeks ago, and how the leading theory, a hot theory, 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 4: seems to be now among your physicists astron astronomers that 83 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: there is no other intelligent life out there. There actually 84 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: isn't and mathematically may have reasons why they think that is. 85 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 4: Part of it is very little on Earth too, I know, 86 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: I was watching Jeopardy last night. Part of that is 87 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 4: just the idea that there's only been life on this 88 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 4: planet for a blink of an eye of the four 89 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 4: and a half billion years that we've been around, And 90 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 4: so you could have some other planet where they had 91 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 4: is thriving society as we did, but it was three 92 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 4: billion years ago and it destroyed itself the way we're 93 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: going to destroy ourselves someday. And to get the timing 94 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: to match up to where there's some currently would be 95 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 4: mathematically pretty difficult. 96 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, the ships that did not pass in the night. 97 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, but for to be the organic matter that could 98 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: bring life here to get it started, I mean, geez, 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: something had to start it well, you know, and a 100 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: god however that happened, whatever, But I found that to 101 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 4: be a very interesting story. 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: I imagine the difficulties of conceiving if you are the 103 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: father of us all and the sperm of life flies 104 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: into the Solar System and has to hit a hospitable 105 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: planet to begin the lovely process. 106 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, exciting frost. 107 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 4: You got to hit a Goldilocks planet, because it doesn't 108 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: work on a planet that's you know, on mercury eight 109 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: hundred degrees in sunny today that doesn't work, or someplace 110 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 4: that's you know, frozen solid four thousand degrees below zero 111 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 4: that ain't gonna work at it. My favorite story of yesterday, though, 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 4: is just because I hate this guy so much. Democratic 113 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: Senator Menindez, the guy with the gold bars and the 114 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: fancy cars, his wife's wearing fur coats and everything like that, 115 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 4: had been taking money for me the Egyptians, and stealing 116 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: and been lying his entire career. Finally got sentenced eleven 117 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: years in prison.

Our diversity is not our strength. 203 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 5: Our unity and our shared purpose is our strength. And 204 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 5: the Pentagon is excited to get back to that core mission. 205 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: It's happening rapidly. 206 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: The services are responding and those that don't want to 207 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 5: respond can work somewhere else. So diversity, equity, inclusion will 208 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 5: not be a part of the Defense Department. 209 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 3: Not a minute long wow. 210 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: It's like I got a pointed Secretary of Defense, which 211 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: would be a mistake. 212 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 3: It's great.

Diversity is our strength. It's just dumb, and 222 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: it may be the perfect illustration of the greeting card style. 223 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: Vaguely, you know, how would you describe it. It's kind of. 224 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: Vaguely uplifting statement that even the most basic examination of 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: it falsifies it. But if it sounds good and it 226 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: makes you feel good to say, people say it and 227 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: they believe it, and they preach it as if it's truth. 228 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: So we've been watching it for decades. 229 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 4: Now we got more to say about that, and a 230 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 4: whole bunch of other stuff.

Yes, 364 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: that is absolutely true, or they don't buy certain things. 365 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: I'll go into CVS and I'll get you know, I'll 366 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 4: bar soap, kids need shampoo. I don't have a hairvariety 367 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 4: of other things I need. It's to CVS.

I'm not willing to go through whatever 370 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 4: hassle that is, so I'll get them somewhere else some 371 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 4: other time, or order them on Amazon or something. And yeah, 372 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 4: of course there's tons of stuff that I pass up, 373 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 4: like almost every time I'm in the store because it's 374 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 4: locked up and it's just too big a pain. 375 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: Well, and if you don't dry shave with a steak 376 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 3: knife like I do, why don't you wear a bra? 377 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 3: Come on? Of course, not like a man does. I 378 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 3: don't know what the right metaphor is. 379 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: There's an old time he's saying for this sort of 380 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: thing where we're picking on the caboose and we should 381 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: have the engine or something. The problem is not really 382 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 4: that people are buying less because stuff is locked up. 383 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: The problem is I have to lock stuff up because 384 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: there's so much crime. When all of our entire existences 385 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: things weren't locked up and it seemed to work just fine. 386 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be a deal. Well, yeah, and 387 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: I find I'm trying to do the math, but I've 388 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: run in my own you know, disagreement. 389 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: But here's what I was thinking. 390 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: If I'm running Joe's drug Stores nationwide chain, we're known 391 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: for our surly pharmacists. 392 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: Anyway, it hurts when I do this. What aisle should 393 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 3: I get that in? Yeah? Quit doing that? And then 394 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 3: you say walk this way? And then isay right? Anyway? 395 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: Ah? If if Joe's Nationwide drug Stores we invested in 396 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: two burly dudes, well trained, carefully hired. 397 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: Anybody tries to steal from us. 398 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: We're putting you down right, They're gonna grab you by 399 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: the head and another guy by the head and crack 400 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: your heads together like it's the Three Stooges or something. 401 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: I gotta believe that would cost a hell of a 402 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: lot less than they're rampant shoplifting. 403 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: Here's the problem you run into. 404 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: We live in a society where said scumbag stealing further 405 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: living and they're not looting it back. And it's not 406 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: because the deck was stacked against them or the patriarchy 407 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: or white supremacies, because they're friggin' thieves who have existed 408 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: since the dawn of man. Anyway, when aforementioned friggin' thief 409 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: sentence assues because they may or may not have a 410 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: slightly sore elbow from the ass whooping Joe's guards gabing, well, 411 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: then it's gonna cost me too much to defend in 412 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: the rest of it because of our six sick uh 413 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, tort reform need in society. 414 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: Sorry about the ass whooping, Do I not the least bit? Sorry? Quit? 415 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: Hey, stealing equals ass whoopings. That'll be the big sign 416 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: right there. Not shoplifters will be prosecuted under code four 417 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: oh three C. No, it's gonna say steal an equals 418 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: ass whooping. So your slogan isn't gonna be your health 419 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: today or something like that. It's gonna be stealing equals 420 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: ass whooping. Our slogan's gonna be our stuff is on 421 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: shelves like normal stores, right, like it has been for 422 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: all of history. Will it ever go back? And I 423 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: was thinking it wouldn't. I thought this is gonna be 424 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: this way the rest of our lives. Even if crime 425 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: goes down, they've already they're just gonna blocking stuff up. 426 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: But then when I saw the CEO say he thinks 427 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: it's really hurt their business by a lot, then I'm thinking, 428 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: as soon as crime goes down, which it will with 429 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: the change in law California and Trump being president, in 430 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: a variety of other things, hopefully they'll stop blocking stuff 431 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: up because it is annoying the target. I go to 432 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: in a nice town, all the legos are locked up 433 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: now my kids are out of the lego age, But 434 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: that lego aisle used to be full of kids looking 435 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: at the boxes because you get to look at all 436 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: the pictures and read about it and stuff like that. 437 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: Can't do that now they're all locked behind glass, which 438 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: is just horrifying. 439 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of the lego age, my daughter took me 440 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: to the Barnes and Noble not long ago and showed 441 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: me the adult legos, not pornography, adult like a bouquet 442 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: of flowers and stuff like that. 443 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: I mean, really intricated as wild. It's crazy. 444 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 4: I didn't know that I should specify with legos because 445 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 4: for a lot of people, the age of legos is 446 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 4: you're twenty eight years old, a man without a girlfriend, 447 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 4: living in your parents' basement. 448 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: There. 449 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 3: That's a little judgmental. 450 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, damn right it is. So here is the problem, 451 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: and it's a big problem. Although it's easy to understand. 452 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: The umbrella problem is that we have a society that, 453 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: in half a dozen important ways tolerates crime out of 454 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: bizarre and misguided beliefs that I'm hoping have maybe crested. 455 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it occurs to me the reason 456 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia chops off the hand of thieves just because 457 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: they like hand chopping, or that they're you know, living 458 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: in the year eight hundred and stuff, which all of 459 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: which is more or less true. But it's the same 460 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: reason they hanged horse thieves in the American West, because 461 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: if we allow this on any level, everything breaks down 462 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: and it's too easy. We'll just make the punishment so 463 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: draconian nobody dares do it, and for the most part, 464 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: nobody does it. 465 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: Now do you have to try not to? You know? 466 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: He even when a horse thief is getting hanged or 467 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: a thief's getting his arm chopped off. 468 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's really gross.

One, kids 520 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: are not catching up from COVID.

But it's not for some reason. 530 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: I think part of that reason is a significant chunk 531 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: of the electorate on the left is convinced that everything 532 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: else that's happening at schools is a wonderful thing, and 533 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: those of us who think focus on core instruction for 534 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: the kids reading, writing, arithmetic, and history period have been 535 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: shouted down in recent years, and there are giant, powerful 536 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: unions that the disagree with. 537 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: That point of view. 538 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: I just expressed, fewer Pride assemblies, more math assemblies or 539 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 4: reading assemblies, seems like it would be a good idea. 540 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 4: But we got We'll get into those proficiency scores and 541 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 4: other things a little bit later. 542 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: We've got Katie's headlines on the way.

Look, I engaged in a 589 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: hyperbole as part of the political discussion. It's kind of 590 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: the way of the world these days, especially online. 591 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: Here's what I actually think. From the Washington Post. 592 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: The Moss releases eight hostages from Gaza. 593 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Strip in cease fire deals progress. 594 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: From ABC quote Trump is right, former Senator Menendez speaks 595 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: after eleven year sentence is handed down. 596 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he tried to turn it.

And it's about the teachers' 611 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: unions and Randy Wingarten and the rest of it. That 612 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: reckoning must take place so we don't do it again. 613 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: It might be the worst thing our government's ever done. 614 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: It's certainly in that top group.
