1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: and Jettiety and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: There was a tweet that went out that signaled that

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: the President may be open to pausing some of these

6
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: terrors for ninety days except on China. And when I

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: was here in the room, there were cheers when that

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: went out, but quickly the White House said no, no, no,

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: that's fake news, saying that that's actually not true. And

10
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: you saw the Dow climb about nine hundred points and

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: then fall again.

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a tweet went out that wasn't accurate and

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: two point four trillion dollars of market value was added

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: in minutes. That's hard to wrap your head around. Then

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: most of it are raced just as quickly when it

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: turned out that that tweet was inaccurate. But you wouldn't

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: think that the economy could work that way. We're at

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: tweet without even like confirming it or discussing it or

19
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: or letting talked about happen would move the market two

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: point four trillion dollars.

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: Now, this guy's a blue check mark for what that's

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: worth on Twitter, it's not worth anything. So quite literally,

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: a guy said something markets went wild. Now here's a twist.

24
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: Was that tweet actually inaccurate? Now that the White House

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: is starting to say much more openly.

26
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're negotiating.

27
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: It's the huge trade barriers forever is not the goal.

28
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Did the Trump team somehow get that tweet out.

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Because they were worried it the way things were going, Perhaps,

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: I've got to believe God to believe.

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Because they were. Markets were down as much as the

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Dow was down as much as sixteen hundred when we

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: went on the air yesterday, and I mean another a third,

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: really bad day would have been a lot of political pressure.

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: There might have been panic in the streets.

36
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: And you got to remember the entire administration is that's

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of people. And surely among

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: that hell of a lot of people, there are at

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: least a couple of them that were fielding calls from

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: Ford Motors CEO or some Wall Street to Super Heavyweight

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: or something and told them, look, no, giant trade barriers

42
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: forever is not our goal.

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 4: We're just trying to get better deals. This is a negotiation.

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: And they said, oh, thank god, thank god. And they

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 3: went and told everybody they wanted to tell, So we're gone.

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: There might have been people woke up with a horsehead

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: in their bed. I mean, these are some high stakes here.

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: We often mock Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana for his

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: folksy jokes and whatnot. What he said, and I thought

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: was a pretty decent point. This is Trump's economy now,

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: So there's no more for better or worse. There's no

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: more blaming Biden or things for anything at all. Any

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: of it is gonna be ring true now it wouldn't

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: ring true. But so all of it is at Trump's

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: feet now. And that's totally quite amazing because we are

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: it is April, ladies and gentlemen. He took over in January.

57
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: You could have been able to ride. I inherited a

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: bad economy for maybe a couple of years possibly, but

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: that's over. It's your economy now.

60
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: And you know, it's kind of interesting funny from our perspective,

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: is I have in front of me like giant stories

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: that would be three days worth of headlines like at

63
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: any other point in history, but they didn't even get

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: noticed in this just flurry of change and policy, and

65
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: you know, tariffs and deportations and the rest of it.

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: It's just dizzying.

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: So why are the markets up today? Well, here are

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: some of the backstories that are probably responsible. Politico says

69
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: that Treasury Secretary Scott Besant flew to Florida to encourage

70
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to focus his message on negotiating favorable trade

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: deals or risk the stock market creating creating further, So,

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the Treasury sec went and talked to Trump and that

73
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: came out also Politico, with Trump had started telling allies

74
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: and phone calls yesterday morning that the endgame of the

75
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: tariffs would be sooner than people expect, and that the

76
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: White House is in talks with multiple countries, stressing that

77
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: deals are close to being made. So you don't know

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: if Trump wanted that it to get into Politico. I mean,

79
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: if you say this is going to be over sooner

80
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: than people think, and it's just being reported that this

81
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: is when it's going to be over, did you get

82
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: that message out on purpose? Quite possible? All right, yeah, yeah,

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: And per the Washington Post, Elon Musk appealed directly to

84
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: President Trump to ditch the tariff regime. He wasn't digging

85
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: it and Ted Cruz, who has been a pretty big

86
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: backer of Donald Trump, said, if President Trump uses this

87
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: moment is leverage, that would be a massive victory for

88
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the American people. But there are voices in the White

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: House that want high tariffs forever. There are angels and

90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: demons sitting on President Trump's shoulders. Who does he listen to?

91
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I hope it's the angels and not the demons.

92
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: But from the Treasury Secretary Elon, Ted Cruz and others

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: saying yeah, that's enough.

94
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: There you go.

95
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's why we are If this ends up

96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: with the post WW two intentional and understandable trade imbalances

97
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: that lasted way way too long, the tariff at the

98
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: barrier imbalances I'm talking about, if this all ends with

99
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: those being restructured in a way that's much more twenty

100
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: first entry in farty US manufacturers, that this would be

101
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: an enormous victory, absolutely great. I find myself wondering and

102
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: I will never Well, maybe I will get the answer,

103
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: because everybody always writes books after this stuff is done.

104
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: But the like the charts with the numbers and the formulas,

105
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: and some of it was hilarious. I mean I don't

106
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: care how much you love Trump, you got to admit

107
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: announcing a thirty percent terrify on and uninhabited island is

108
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: pretty funny. Or an island that's just got penguins, or

109
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: an island with whom we do zero trade and never.

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Have that of all, the penguin means the one where

111
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: the penguin is sitting in the chair in the Oval

112
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: office like Zelenski and Trump is yelling at him you

113
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: don't have the cards, and the penguin looks so aw.

114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. That's funny. But here's

115
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: my question. Was that at least semi intentionally chaotic and

116
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: crazy because Trump likes to well, you know, the Art

117
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: of the deal takes it talks about this. He he

118
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: likes to inject so much stress and angst and turbulence

119
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: into negotiations people are anxious to come to a deal.

120
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: Was that intentional or was it just way too fast

121
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: and sloppy unintentionally?

122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

123
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: So we have a new Supreme Court ruling, different topic now.

124
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can move forward

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: with the termination of sixteen thousand probationary federal workers across

126
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: six agencies and departments.

127
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, that's good. Well that's a can What the

128
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: hell is the executive branch. No, if it's one way ratchet,

129
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: all you can do is.

130
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Grow please, And so that's rescinding a lower court order.

131
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: And I realized sometimes judges disagree, but was this a

132
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: you know what Elon was talking about the other day.

133
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: A judge is as much a politician that as a

134
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: judge that just didn't like Trump and Elon and Doge

135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, trying to shut it

136
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: down because the Supreme Court said, nah ah, he can

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: do that. He fired sixteen thousand probationary people. And like

138
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: you said, if he can't, well then what.

139
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: The thing you have to remember about progressive judges, a

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: lot of them and not everybody appointed by Obama for instance,

141
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: is like an avowed progressive nut.

142
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: A lot of them are. But the thing you have

143
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: to remember about them.

144
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: Is they they rule for a result, not a strict

145
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: interpretation of the Constitution in the law. They will really

146
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: stretch the law to get the result they want. That's

147
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: what progressive judges has done since the early part of

148
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: the twentieth century, and that's why it's so frustrating because

149
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: they just they see their job differently than a conservative

150
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 3: judge would.

151
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Back to the tariff thing. Just to wrap it up. So,

152
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Peter Navarro, who is the guy really pushing it on

153
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: all the TV shows and advising Trump on this you've

154
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: probably seen.

155
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: I think he's one of Ted Cruz's demons.

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Elon musk And on Twitter today has called

157
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Peter Navarro a moron. And what did he call him?

158
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Dumbas a sack of bricks.

159
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: Yes, that is correct, that's a perfect recitation of the epithet.

160
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: Yes, that is the modern era we live in. Back

161
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: in the old days, you de said, I believe the

162
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: gentleman from Kentucky may be confused in his numbers when

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: he posits that. Know, now you say he's dumb as

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: a sack of bricks. Peter Navarro was on Laura Ingram

165
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: last night and said, I'm telling you this is going

166
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: to be a Golden age Dow fifty thousand. I guarantee that,

167
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: and I guarantee no recession. When we passed the biggest

168
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: broadest tax cut in history. This is going to be

169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: great stimulus, etcetera, etcetera. Well, right, and he just stated

170
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: to her out and out. We are going to be

171
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm paraphrasing, but we're going to have huge tariffs,

172
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: We're going to manufacture everything for ourselves. We're going to

173
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: be a self reliant you know, the high Wall economy.

174
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: And I saw that and thought, oh, for God's sake, no, Well,

175
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: as it turns out, probably no.

176
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: I like that stuff. Taking shots at people from Harvard too.

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Still have that in front of you.

178
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for Thomas Sowell, this is that is really good.

179
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I should remember that for the rest of my life.

180
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Wonder when he said that how many years ago he

181
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: said that, because I would like to keep that in

182
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: my uh my holster if you will.

183
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: Can paraphrase that if it's not handy, but I'd like.

184
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: To get it exactly right.

185
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Well, hang on a second, Uh, let me

186
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: see if I can find it, because you're right, he's

187
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: such a brilliant writer. Yeah, he essentially said there's been

188
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: no great disaster in this country that there wasn't somebody

189
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: from Harvard right in.

190
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: The middle of right and he's Elon retweeted that, referring

191
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: to Peter Navarro the aforementioned sack O bricks.

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the other thing he said that I think as

193
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: good as the principal benefit of a Harvard degree is

194
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: never again having to be impressed by anyone with a

195
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 3: Harvard degree.

196
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: A sack of bricks has really no IQ whatsoever.

197
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very intellectually speaking, really not impressed.

198
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so we'll look at the Supreme Court ruling a

199
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: little bit, see if there's anything more to that, and

200
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: some other stuff on the way.

201
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: Stay.

202
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 5: Our economy is in the midst of a beautiful metamorphosis,

203
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 5: turning from a simple caterpillar into a dead caterpillar.

204
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,119
Speaker 4: It's a good punch.

205
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: Line, funny last night. He's pretty anti.

206
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: Trump, of course, but all right, So cleaning up the

207
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: mess from last segments, Thomas Sowell. In every disaster throat

208
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: American history, there always seems to be a man from

209
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: Harvard in the middle of it.

210
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: That's good.

211
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, love Thomas anyway. So this is just funny and

212
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: ironic and denoying. Have you ever heard of Johnny Kim.

213
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: He is forty one years old. He was successfully a

214
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: Navy seal, a Harvard educated doctor, and a NASA astronaut,

215
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: and he has become quite the meme, I guess among

216
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: Asian people. The theme being thank God my mom isn't

217
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: friends with his mom, getting to the whole tiger mom

218
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: superachieving Asian thing. It doesn't matter how much you've achieved,

219
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: you're falling short of Johnny Kim Navy seal, Harvard Med

220
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: School graduate, and on Tuesday blasted off as part of

221
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: his latest act, astronaut. I'm sure he is penning a

222
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: best selling novel in space that will make him completely

223
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 3: unattainable and insufferable. It's the son of South Korean immigrants. No,

224
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: this isn't the line of opportunity, Bruce Springstein. Then still

225
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: in the live that you can get ahead in America.

226
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, um, I want to make sure you

227
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: hear it here because you can see the story all

228
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: day long. That freaking dire wolf is not a dire wolf.

229
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: It's a gray wolf with white hair. All right, that's it.

230
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: That's the end of the story.

231
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: It's a regular wolf with a die job.

232
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Please, I mean, look into it. It's true.

233
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: Let's play that ABC clip again, okay, just that we

234
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: need to drive a steak through the heart, the still

235
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: beating heart of a vampire of mainstream media.

236
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: Drive it, Michael, drive it.

237
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 6: In a first for science biotech company Colossal Bioscience.

238
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: It says it.

239
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 6: Brought the extinct dire wolf back to life that hasn't

240
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 6: want the earth since the Stone Age.

241
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 7: We've taken a gray wolf genome, which is already genetically

242
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 7: ninety nine point five percent identical to dire wolves, and

243
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 7: we've edited those cells at multiple places in its DNA

244
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 7: sequence to contain the dire wolf version of the DNA.

245
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 6: The company tells us they're not stopping there. They plan

246
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: to have wooly mammoths roaming the earth again by twenty

247
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: twenty eight, but critics argue that this de extinction could

248
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 6: harm fragile ecosystems.

249
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: No, critics should argue that you shouldn't actually bring back

250
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: the dire wolf.

251
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: Not even close.

252
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: It's like Joe Mocking couple weeks ago. Was it the

253
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: same company with their hairy elephants.

254
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. They're not bringing back the wooly mammoths. They've

255
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: introduced a gene into regular elephants that make the hairer.

256
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 4: That's it. Critics say, no, critics say they didn't make

257
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: an effing dire wolves, all right, and I love that lead.

258
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: The company says, yeah, okay, I have a tyrannosaurce Rex

259
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: in my basement.

260
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 4: I feed it cows. Radio reports say that this man

261
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: has a terreno source Rex.

262
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: ABC News. You're just you're, you're, you're just entertainment for moron,

263
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: Holy crep. To even hint that you're a journalist and

264
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: then do that report is absurd.

265
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. The Today

266
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: version of NBC, their headline was extinct dire wolf seen

267
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: on Game of Thrones has been revived. No it hasn't. Wow, Wow, Shane.

268
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: It's like pointing to a hairy Italian guy and saying,

269
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: we have recreated the sasquatch.

270
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: No, you haven't. You bred a wolf that's kind of

271
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: big and has light fur and like the Yahoo News.

272
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: Of course it's got Yahoo right in the name of

273
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: you expected to. The revival of the once think to

274
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: dire wolf species has everyone asking the same thing, what

275
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: animal is next? No? Anybody, I for brain is asking

276
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: did you really let me look a little further into this? No,

277
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: you didn't. Is the dodo next? Dinosaurs? People, shad Park. Yeah,

278
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs will eat the dodos. If they run out

279
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: of dodos, they'll bring down a Willie mammoth. Yes, that's

280
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. So now you have hairy elephants and

281
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: white regular wolves. Whoop be.

282
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeh, I've got a saber toothed tiger in my backyard.

283
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: You can't look at it.

284
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's good. More on the waist to hear.

285
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: Ugh Armstrong and Getty.

286
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: Five seconds to shark top of the key.

287
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 8: Lost the dribble, He's got to pick it up. It's

288
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 8: scripped up by content content SETUSA had drawn a found

289
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 8: a way from twelve down to the school's third national

290
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 8: championship in men's basketball.

291
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: So that's Florida winning the national championship last time. In

292
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: that last couple of minutes, the defense Florida played was amazing.

293
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: That's what you don't see. Like you said earlier, the

294
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: NBA doesn't play defense. That's not the way the league

295
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: is structured anymore. So when you see it, it's like, oh, yeah,

296
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: that could be part of the game too.

297
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: Oh and it requires so much energy to play that

298
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: sort of swarming, suffocating defense. But oh it makes it

299
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: hard to score baskets for sure.

300
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, really exciting.

301
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: So I am so troubled by what's happening in Great

302
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: Britain for a couple of reasons. And what's happening is,

303
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: essentially they've really really chucked a lot of the bedrock

304
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 3: principles that we at least partially shared about free speech,

305
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 3: free expression, the idea that you don't have the right

306
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: to not be offended. Just because you're offended doesn't mean

307
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: you're right. And I'm reminded, as i often am, of

308
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: Reagan's great quote that freedom is never more than one

309
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our

310
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected

311
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: and handed on to them to do the same, or

312
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: one day we will spend our sunset years telling our

313
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: children and our children's children what it was once like

314
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: in the United States when men were free. Ooh, that's

315
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: a great quote, and it's not alarmism. He's absolutely right

316
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: to wit. And I'm going to quote some from Nelly Bowles,

317
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: who is both very very smart and very very funny,

318
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: but she says what's going on in Britain. The Sentencing

319
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: Council for England and Wales was hours away from implementing

320
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: a new criminal code that would have required different procedures

321
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: for sentencing ethnic minorities for crimes. They would have had

322
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 3: two sentencing systems, at least one for white people and

323
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: no one for non white people, which is like the

324
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: bizarro not comparative justice restorative justice procedures of some of

325
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: our woke schools in the university universities. At the last minute,

326
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: the Ministry of Justice planned emergency legislation to stop it.

327
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: As the Guardian said, the Sentencing Council cave to pressure

328
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: and Nelly right, putting aside that justice should be race blind.

329
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 4: Obviously.

330
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 3: There's an interesting note here on the idea of a minority.

331
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: There are straight up two billion people in South Asia,

332
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: many of whom want to move to England, while the

333
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: total population of England and Wales is something like sixty million.

334
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 4: So two billion to sixty million.

335
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: The plan was to give gentler sentencing for any of

336
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: those two billion who have arrived or will arrive in

337
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: the future. Just seems hard to sustain. Makes me a

338
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: little sorry for the ethnic English. Then she makes a

339
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: joke that kind of lands. Then in their own native

340
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: land they want to give themselves harsher punishment by dint

341
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: of their own ethnicity. Sad strange death by politeness. That's

342
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: just one of several examples, so I'll give you one more.

343
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 3: In free speech news on the Island, a Times radio

344
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: producer was arrested a few months ago, and this week

345
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: he told his story. He was arrested by the police.

346
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: Now he explains, quote I complained about my daughter's school

347
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: on What's app then six police officers turned up. The

348
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: video of him was talking about what happened, paired with

349
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 3: the footage of arrest is truly incredible.

350
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: I'll see if we can get you a link at

351
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: onstring getty dot com.

352
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 3: High His arrest was on suspicion of quote harassment and

353
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: malicious communications for being in a group chat snarking about

354
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: the new.

355
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 4: Head of the school.

356
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 3: The most defensive thing I could find, right snelly that

357
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: the Times radio producer's wife referred to a school leader

358
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: as a control freak and for that he was arrested

359
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: by the British police for quote unquote harassment and malicious communications.

360
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that sort of incursion against free speech

361
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: in the United States. If the woke British declare somebody

362
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 3: beyond criticism, you dare not criticize them or you will

363
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: be jailed.

364
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: That is great Britain.

365
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: There are more examples of this, but I will end

366
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: with a bit of humor before we get onto a brilliant,

367
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: brilliant quote. England's economy is so sad, and they think

368
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: the problem is that they need to grow faster deeprivilege

369
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: more as though anyone thinks those castles have central air.

370
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: In my opinion, there's no saving them. All we can

371
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 3: do is treat their ideas like Ebola builds seawalls around

372
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: their island. They are America's intellectual parent, but like all

373
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: elderly relatives, there comes a time to throw them off

374
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: a cliff, give ourselves a new name, and never speak

375
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: to our siblings again.

376
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: That's funny, it is. So I'm on this salmon rushdie kick.

377
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure how I got on it. If

378
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: you don't know or remember, he wrote a book in

379
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: the eighties, way back in the eighties called The Satanic

380
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: Verses that for whatever reason, the Islamic world went nuts

381
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: over it was minor, a minor thing. He didn't feel

382
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: like he'd written a controversial book at.

383
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: All, really, and threats to your freedom Islamism.

384
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: But people who hadn't even read the book, particularly in Iran,

385
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: went nuts over it, and then the Ayatola went nuts

386
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: over it and said that Salomon Rushdi the author, needed

387
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: to die. And then his home country of India banned

388
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: the book, to his great dismay, and then that kicked

389
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: off countries all around the world banning the book, and

390
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: it just grew and grew and grow, and he had

391
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: to go into hiding for think a dozen years, ending

392
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: with by the way whatever it was two years ago

393
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: when he was almost killed on stage in the United

394
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: States of America by a Muslim who was still angry

395
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: about that book, who, of course, he had never read.

396
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: The kid had never read it. He was a twenty

397
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: four year old job who lived with his parents, had

398
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: never read the book, stabbed out Rushdie's eye, cut his

399
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: throat only because he didn't know what he was doing.

400
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: Did he not killed the guy? But I'm reading Rushdie's

401
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: memoir called what is it called?

402
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 4: Something that doesn't written that damn book.

403
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: That's funny.

404
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm glad he wrote the book.

405
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Uh that comes goes Jess Joseph Anton is the name

406
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: of the book, because that's the name he went by

407
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: when he was in hiding. Uh. And he had protection

408
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: from basically like the Secret Service of England. He's a

409
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: guy who's been living in England and he went to

410
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: Oxford and been living in England his whole life, and

411
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: he was so disappointed when this very first happens. So

412
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: this fits in with the free speech stuff and also

413
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: the Muslim immigration stuff that's been going on in Europe.

414
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: So he writes this book. Even if it had been

415
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: flat out a book that said Mohammad was a gay pedophile,

416
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: I mean, like it didn't. But like, even if it

417
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: had been like over the top critical, you still should

418
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: be able to write that book in Western civilization. It's

419
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: crazy that you couldn't. But he didn't write anything even

420
00:23:54,800 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: close to that. But people on the left, like artists

421
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: on the left, came out and said he shouldn't have

422
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: written the book. Margaret Thatcher on the right said that

423
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have written a book and that sort of

424
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: thing shouldn't happen because everybody was so scared of Islam

425
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: that you know, we shouldn't criticize them, which is crazy.

426
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: Well everybody.

427
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: It reminds me of the beliefs about, you know, domesticating

428
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: the Chinese. The belief was that, look, if we just

429
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: if we're cool and not at all combative, they won't

430
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: be combative to us and try to take over the

431
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: world in the name of sharia law, so let's be nice.

432
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: All kinds of people, right left and center of politics

433
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: backed down to the Muslim crazies rather than stand up

434
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: for free speech and free expression and all that sort

435
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: of stuff. Quite a few people were killed. I think

436
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: a total of fifteen people died through this whole thing,

437
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: including the Japanese translator who was murdered for translating the

438
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: book into Japanese there in their country. Just just craziness,

439
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: absolute craziness. Well, here is Saman Rushdi talking about how

440
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: disappoint that he is, and he I don't know when

441
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: he said this, but it's since he got his eye

442
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: carved out by the nutjobs in the last couple of years.

443
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: Disappointed in the younger generation.

444
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 9: I feel kind of disappointed in the younger generation because

445
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 9: it used to be that it was kind of old

446
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 9: fogies like me who were conservative about what could be

447
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 9: said and what was wrong to say, and young people

448
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 9: were iconoclastic and you let it all hang out. And

449
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 9: now it's the other way out. It's an older generation

450
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 9: that still holds on to traditional ideas of free expression.

451
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 9: But the fact that there's a generation growing up which

452
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 9: is willing to suppress speech which it doesn't like is

453
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 9: extremely alarming because I mean that simple definition of free speech,

454
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 9: in order for it to be free, it has to

455
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 9: include speech by people you don't agree with otherwise not

456
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 9: free speech. And there's an increasing feeling that that's the

457
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 9: kind of wrong way of thinking.

458
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: He's from the atheist hippie generation of the sixties and seventies,

459
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: and you know, the young people were the you know,

460
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the people that stood up for that, as he just said,

461
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: and now it's the other way around. It's only the

462
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: old people that still remember the importance of it, and

463
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: the young crowd is no, no, no, free speech is bad.

464
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: Too much free speech, that's right.

465
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: Need lockstep adherence to what we've been inductrinated into. They

466
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 3: wonn't say that out loud, but that's precisely what they mean.

467
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: So you got the free speech aspect of this conversation

468
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: and then the the fundamentalist Muslim aspect of this. So

469
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: I because I'm on this kick, I was watching some

470
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: old sixty minutes interviews with Salmon Rushti one way back

471
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: in the eighties when he was in hiding, and then

472
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: one from recently after he was almost assassinated. But they're

473
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: showing these clips from various parts of the country with

474
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: young Muslim men almost entirely in the streets, just insanely

475
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: enraged still over this book that they've never read, just

476
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: because they were told it was bad. It's so pre Enlightenment,

477
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: pre age of reason.

478
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: It's just craziness, right, which is one of the reasons

479
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 3: it's so scary that the postmodernist neomarxist woke crowd, they're

480
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: like post Enlightenment, but pre Enlightenment. They think appeal to

481
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: objective facts, science to data is wrong. Somehow, it's just

482
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 3: your beliefs. That's the only thing that matters. And it

483
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: aligns very nicely with fundamentalist religious lunatics. And then the

484
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: fact that and the funny thing is the religious lunatics

485
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 3: would throw them off a building. Absolutely they were in charge. Absolutely,

486
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: here's for Palestine.

487
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing that in so many places around the world

488
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: in Europe is way worse that that's the added than us.

489
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: And we went too far at various times since nine

490
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: to eleven in terms of bending over backwards to accommodate

491
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: a crazy culture that has no room for any other

492
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: point of view?

493
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.

494
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: Don't you see the paradox there? I don't see how

495
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: more people don't see the paradox there the conundrum where

496
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: that's not gonna fit If you've got a group of

497
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: people who don't believe in a different point of view.

498
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: You can't say we're going to allow your point of

499
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: view because we allow all points of view. If they

500
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: end up dominating your point of view and all others

501
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: go away, you see.

502
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you have a duty to support the right

503
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: of totalitarians to pitch totalitarianism in the name of a

504
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: diversity of viewpoints? It's a great paradox. So one more

505
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 3: thought and you, Jack, you may have read this too.

506
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: I can't remember, oh where I read this, but it

507
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: made a hell of an impression on me.

508
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: It was a description of a scene of the.

509
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: Stoning of a young woman who is accused of adultery

510
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, And.

511
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: How could that still be going on in the world?

512
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: I know, and and the evidence was thin at best,

513
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: but that doesn't really matter. No, But the fun part

514
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: of the description that really made an impression on me

515
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: was the description of how there was really a fairly

516
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: small percentage of the crowd that was in favor of

517
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: this and were such vehement, devout fundamentalist lunatics that they

518
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: wanted to see this young girl's skull crushed for the

519
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: sin of being seen with a man. But everybody had

520
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: to outdo each other in signs of fervor and hatred

521
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: toward this girl lest they be reported as probably an infidel.

522
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 4: And soft Unshuria law.

523
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: And so everybody went through this performative viciousness that spread

524
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: through the crowd, and everybody checked their conscience and allowed

525
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: themselves to get fired up. Then when it was all over,

526
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: you know, they congratulating each other and all shuffled home

527
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: feeling terrible feelings of guilt and conflict in their hearts.

528
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: Performative viciousness. That's exactly what was going on with the

529
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: whole Salmon Rushdie Satanic versus thing. And he was pointing

530
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: out that at the time there in the late eighties,

531
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: there are people going on BBC television and radio talking

532
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: about how like Muslim clerics going on TV and seeing

533
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: how someone rush Tee should be killed for this, and

534
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: that was airing where anything close to that the other

535
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: direction is against the law in Great Britain. That's sort of.

536
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 4: Giving offense to a religion, right yeah.

537
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: But toward him from Islam, they could threaten his life

538
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: and get away.

539
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: With it, right yep.

540
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 3: Wow, way to stand up for Western civilization, grits.

541
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Wow, We'll finish strong next strong, very deep.

542
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 10: Inside this mine in western Pennsylvania is a little known

543
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 10: government office that handles a critical mission for the federal workforce.

544
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 10: It can take months for the Office of Personnel Management

545
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 10: to process a case, potentially delaying retiree benefits. The facility

546
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 10: has literally miles of files, some twenty six thousand filing

547
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 10: cabinets filled with retirement paperwork, some of them stacked ten

548
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 10: hot dose engineers are working to create a fully digital

549
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 10: experience with federal retirees, the hopeful, happy customers.

550
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: You've heard about the mine. We've talked about it, and

551
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Elon's talked about it a lot. But there's nothing wrong

552
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: with holding that up as an example, because if that

553
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: can happen, anything can happen. In terms of it, you're

554
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: not being efficient.

555
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm picturing people in I was going to say like

556
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: Silicon Valley, but just like in the insurance company saying

557
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: they're going to digitize their records. When's that clip from

558
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: like nineteen ninety two or something. No, no, now, now

559
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: we still have filing cabinets full of paper, and that's

560
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: currently and that's not yesterdayear If somebody retires today, that's

561
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: how they handle it.

562
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: And like I said, if that can happen, anything can

563
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: happen in terms of inefficiency.

564
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but Elon's a Nazi paint as cars the hell.

565
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 9: Well.

566
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: Seriously, there's times I look around and think I want

567
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: to become a dog trainer or or run the monkey

568
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: house at the zoo or something like that, because human

569
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: beings are they're just too strange.

570
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Those are very different jobs you should choose carefully.

571
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

572
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 11: True, I have some final thoughts, and some people say

573
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 11: they are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But

574
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 11: if you look at what's happening, I would have to

575
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 11: say Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They

576
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 11: are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.

577
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, being a dog trainer is a lot different

578
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: than running the monkey house, So I don't know, I

579
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: would think it a lot of pooh either way, here's

580
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: your host for final thoughts at Joe Getty.

581
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: It flies around more at the monkey House.

582
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: Certainly, Hey, let's get a finel thought from everybody on

583
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: the CREWI wrap things up for the day.

584
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: Michael Aigelo lead us off.

585
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 8: I'm gonna find the saddest movie this weekend playing in the theaters.

586
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: And then, during a quiet moment in the film, y'all

587
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: chicken jockey.

588
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: That's funny. I would laugh so hard if somebody said.

589
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: You'd probably be beaten with many fists. Katie Green are esteemed amusewoman.

590
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: As a final thought, Katie.

591
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: I was looking at these dire Wolves and the pups

592
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: that they made are pretty cute. They are cute, and

593
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: I want one.

594
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna listen to the Grateful Dead. It's my favorite

595
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: dead song, dire Wolf, Don't murder Me. I beg you

596
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 4: please don't murder me.

597
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: Jack.

598
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Final thought, I'm wearing a suit today, as I often do.

599
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: The average man feels two thirds more confident in a suit,

600
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: and I feel like I do.

601
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: Yes, excellent. I beg of you don't murder me. Gotta

602
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: get the lyrics right.

603
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: My final thought, I'm going to seed to me A

607
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: is the America you fight to preserve. And then each citizen,

608
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: every leader, will do their part to ensure that the

609
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: America we know will be the America our grandchildren and

610
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 3: great grandchildren will inhance.

611
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty wrap pick up another grueling for our workday.
