WEBVTT - I Can't Plan That Far Ahead On My Bread 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty arm Strong, and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:12.520 Jetty and he. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:21.040 Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.319 A judge gave the man who attempted to assassinate Brett 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.840 Kavanaugh only eight years in prison after he began identifying 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.480 as a woman. You don't say, said the Menendez sisters. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.440 That's a good joke. 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:42.720 That is a good joke. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.400 That's a well crafted joke. Yeah, I've got a question 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.839 about upf's ultra processed foods. Joe has been trying to 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.080 scarce about for quite some time. And I'm sure it's 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.680 true that whenever you're eating something that's got a list 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:03.720 of fifty ingredients, you can't have no idea what they are, 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.440 that it's probably not good for you. And lately they've 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.759 been saying that, like this is really really bad for us, right, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.240 Like this could be this could be a lot of 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.440 what all our problems are obesity and health. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.440 This isn't it food addiction. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.640 But I often think in addition to all the ingredients, 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.360 just stuff that's like sealed in a bag or whatever 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.160 is probably that. But like the kettle chips, like the 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.240 healthier potato chips. You get to look at the ingredients 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.720 and it's just potatoes, oil, salt. That's the only thing 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.520 on there. Does that mean it is an ultra processed 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.240 or is it just a slightly better versionable because it's 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.200 still in one of those bags sealed up that the 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.440 food would stay fresh for the next one hundred and 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:42.960 fifty years, which. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.680 Doesn't do those The more you know, basic down to 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.720 earth potato chips, do they have that long shelf life? 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:49.200 I don't know. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:50.080 I don't know that either. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.680 Actually, it's all. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.919 Better for you than the ones that have a zillion 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.760 ingredients chemicals and stuff. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.960 Yeah, I actually bought some chips. I was watching the 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.240 Tucker Carlson nine to eleven documentary that I assume is 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.720 going to end up. It was the Jews. I haven't 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.040 finished it yet, but Tucker was doing an endorsement, just 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.000 like we do on the radio, for some healthy chip 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.440 and I actually talked me into it. I bought someone. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.480 They come in the mail this week and I'll try 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.919 them out. I'm all for trying to get away from 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.840 that ultra process stuff. Eat eat way way frough. Been 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.720 looking at my bread. It's hard to buy bread. Bread's 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.680 a tough one because my experience has been if you 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.760 buy bread that doesn't have a million ingredients, it's fresh 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.359 for like a day. Either got to eat that day 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.359 and make your sandwich or forget about it. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.240 I eat homemade whole grain bread because I'm better than you. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.680 And yeah, we keep it in the freezer because we 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.120 have to. You you bring it out and let it 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.840 thaw on the countertop if you're going to walk the 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.280 dog or something like that, or pop it in the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.680 toaster for a minute, minute and a half just to 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.560 get the you know, frostiness off of it. But yeah, 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.840 you have to at least refrigerate it and probably freeze it. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.960 I don't know if I can plan that far ahead 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:56.640 on my bread. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.000 If a minute, don't you just no, no, no, a minute? 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.680 It takes it only takes a minute to thaw out 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.040 your bread. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.919 Yeah, in a toaster? Sure, Oh, you totally in it 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:06.400 and a half? 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.679 Okay, yes, Michael, don't you just eat a white wonderbread 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.680 and that's all you eat. That's generally what I've been eating. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.840 But I'm trying to get away from the ultra processed food, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.080 and bread's a tough one. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.960 I love sandwiches man, I think you'll be happy with it. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.200 So a little featurete here might have to go into 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.440 the next segment, but that's fine. Politico was out with 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.480 a report a private polling memo run by the DNC. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.560 I think one of their big consultant groups are pushing 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.120 their candidates to go on the offense on crime ahead 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.280 of the twenty twenty six mid terms because that's one 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:44.080 of their weakest electoral issues, and that is I'm not 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.720 sure exactly how they're going to go about that, but 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.200 it was shared exclusively with Politico. The battle Ground District 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:57.120 survey from Global Strategy Group nonprofit blah blah Blah offers 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.000 a bleak assessment of Democrats. Starting point nine percent of 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.200 the likely voters surveyed want their Congress member to take 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.600 steps to keep them safe, but only thirty eight percent 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:13.640 trust Democrats over Republicans with that task. Voters also reported 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.200 preferring Republicans to Democrats with preventing and reducing crime and 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.320 cracking down on violent crime, gaps that grew among swing voters, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.719 but the voters swung toward Democrats in all four categories 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.640 after hearing messaging acknowledging crime is a problem and showing 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.680 steps the party is taken to increase safety. Specifically, pollsters 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.960 cited cracking down on gun trafficking and strengthening firearm background checks, 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.840 and if you emphasize that the Democrats are doing that, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:50.599 the poll numbers change a lot. Plus the persuasion efforts 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.240 include criticisms of GOP cuts to gun violence prevention funding, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.800 the Trump administration's attempts to roll back firearm regulations, and 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.200 Republicans ties to pro gun groups. So the whole gun 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:07.440 control thing is about to be one of the loudest 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.719 issues in America again. But when you gave him just 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.320 a little talking to, there was a double digit swing 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.920 among voters. So they're going to be hammering on that apparently, 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.800 and sending around the usual spate of speakers calling for 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.760 gun control, which will never and has never squared with 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.159 the Second Amendment. But they don't talk about that because 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.000 they don't care. They just want to win the next election. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.640 Are you moving on from polling because I have an 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:34.560 interesting poll thing. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.279 Yeah, good, go ahead. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.159 This was on CNN yesterday. This is about Trump's approval 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.800 rating in general. This was on CNN again. They're pointing 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:50.960 out that he's hanging around the mid forties. And I'll 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.720 just quote the analyst they had on CNN as they 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.880 had the numbers up on the board, Trump is basically 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.279 doing what the American people thought that he was going 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.640 to do. If you look at the numbers, Trump is 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.880 basically the steadiest favorability rating at this point in the 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.599 presidency of any president on record, and it's basically where 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.000 he was a year ago, good enough to get him 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:17.680 reelected at the time. All the news, almost all of 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:23.280 it negative about Trump. He's just hung around forty three 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.960 forty four percent, steadier than any president that has been 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.000 recorded through the first nine months. And he was at 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.400 this number when he got reelected. So that's pretty amazing. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.480 I don't know, it is amazing. I don't know if 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.080 that's just because our dials are stuck regardless of who 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.400 it is, or it's something special about Trump or whatever. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.760 But yeah, yeah, it's it's interesting. 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.360 Nonetheless, So, speaking of crime, Jason Riley, brilliant columnist for 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.359 the Wall Street Journal who wrote a great book, he 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.560 just wrote another thing, a column about public housing and 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:59.000 how miserable how the progressives insisted that the poor black 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.919 neighborhoods be torn down in the fifties and sixties especially, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:09.640 literally torn down everybody given what the government said their 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.080 place was worth, and then all put in giant public 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:17.480 housing projects. That was the progressive solution to the black 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.880 poverty problem. And I'd really like to get into this 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.120 at length, but the one point he makes that is 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.160 incredibly powerful is, Yeah, they gave him the minimum a 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.520 judge would let them, the government give them for their properties. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.280 They missed out on every penny of future appreciation of 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.560 the value of those properties. They lost their businesses. There 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.440 was a great system of upward mobility within those black neighborhoods. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.520 There's like totally stunted upward mobility in the progressive designed 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.480 public housing projects and the public financing thing. Anyway, that's 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.480 a discussion for another day. But he wrote a couple 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.880 of weeks ago, and I held on to it because 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.840 it's so good. He's talking about policing and how more 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:08.040 policing means less crime, and black people proportionately have way 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.280 bigger benefits than any other people in America from more policing, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:13.840 not the opposite. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.720 It's great for them. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.640 And he talks about Brandon Johnson saying that we can't 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.120 arrest our way out of poverty, and we need more 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.720 affordable housing, not more police. And then Jason gets into 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:31.040 my favorite part of this. That point of view is 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.360 held widely on the left that crime can mostly be 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.320 blamed on poverty. You hear it all the time in 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.160 blue states. In this respect, it's the mayor's views that 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.439 are out of touch. Not only are most poor people 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.760 not criminals, but the most impoverished communities in the US 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.280 are not the most violent. Further, violent crime was significantly 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.240 lower in earlier eras when poor Americans were materially much 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.920 worse off than they are today. If anything, more evidence 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.280 points to crime driving poverty than the other way around. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.880 And this is the part that my god, I wish 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.920 the Republican Party was any good at communicating with people. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.040 Merchants are more likely to abandon lawless neighborhoods. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.559 How many times have we seen that recently? All the 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:12.080 damn time. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.200 Where operating costs are hire, taking employment opportunities and economic 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.840 activity with them. As businesses leave, the tax based shrinks, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.800 property values decline, and public services suffer. In the forties 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.520 and fifties, the homicide rate for black mails fell by 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.880 double digits, and black incomes rose faster than white incomes. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.640 This is the forties and fifties. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.720 Safer neighborhoods are conducive to upward mobility, and police help 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.640 keep neighborhoods safe. And then my favorite part is this, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.200 We are not going to eliminate crime or poverty anytime soon, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.600 but there are better and worse ways to address both. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:53.600 Family makeup and education play important roles in reducing social pathology. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.160 Cultural habits and attitudes matter. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.000 Single parent households were a minority of all Black households 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.080 for most of the twentieth century. The welfare state expansion 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.040 of the sixties and seventies, which subsidized irresponsible, self destructive behavior, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.640 led to social retrogressions that some Black communities still haven't 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.240 recovered from more than fifty years later. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:19.680 Yeah, well, I have very strong opinions about this whole thing. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.080 I think the breakdown of the American family is the 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:29.040 cause of tons of our problems. And nobody wants to 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.280 talk about it because they feel like it be mean, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.480 or they're participating themselves. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.040 Or they're blaming the victim or something. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.000 Yeah, and nobody wants to talk about it. Hey, households 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.040 to stay together, do way better kids do better, parents 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.040 do better, everybody does better, neighborhood does better. It's just 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.680 better all the way around. But that's not a popular 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:50.400 thing to talk about. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.640 And then one of the last things Jason writes on 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.600 this topic, he quotes our hero, the great thinker Thomas Sowell, 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.240 another black man, what it's worth but soil remarked, when 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.120 you take away stable families, decent schools, and safe streets, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:13.040 there's nothing left stable families, decent schools, and safe streets. 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.280 How are the Democrats doing on those three things? I'll 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.040 let you answer for yourself. It's good to talk about 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.760 people would listen to. And Jason Riley, yeah, you know. 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.640 And one final that we don't really have time for this, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:32.640 but a study has come out that there's there's an 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.240 old saying among lefties that zip code is destiny. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.000 And it turns out that complete bunk. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:45.440 It all has to do with family, education and safety. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.679 What does that mean? Zip code is destinied that like 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.320 where you were born, it determines your life. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.560 Yeah, exactly, Well, it's nice. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.280 It's a zip code is destiny, and that's the major 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.880 source of inequality in the US. The rich stay rich, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.280 the poor stay poor, and you've got to get the 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.359 poor kids, uh, you know, bust them to other neighborhoods 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.120 and other schools and stuff like that, and some of 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.480 that may be somewhat effective sometimes. But again, to your point, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.720 nobody wants to talk about the family. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.320 Yeah, that's a depressing topic but very very true. And 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.080 there's a goodzillions of stats to back it all up. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.360 By the way, Yeah, it's funny. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.960 I don't find it depressing because there's a solution. It's 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.040 when I don't see a solution that I get depressed. Now, 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.920 getting people to actually talk about that solution in an 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.160 honest way is going to be a hell of a battle, But. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.840 I'd say the solution. Is there any thoughts on that 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.320 text line? Four one, five two nine KFTC. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.640 And some lebron fans feeling the letdown tonight After King 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.080 James's highly anticipated. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.360 Announcement turned out to be an. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.320 Ad for a collaboration with Hennessy Koonyak, James tease the 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.800 reveal yesterday, spending sending ticket prices for the Los Angeles 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.599 Lakers final regular season home game skyrocketing. Has fans speculated 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.080 he could announce his retirement. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.640 Yeah, kind of a silly little gimmick. But I was 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.280 doing a little sports rating yesterday with the idea that 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.000 this really signals that Lebron James is no longer the 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.319 leader of the LA Lakers. It's Luka Doncics team now. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.120 Lebron is a role player, because that is not the 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.840 sort of thing you do as the season is starting 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.439 in just a few days. Pretend you're going to retire, 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.040 have everybody on your team and the coach and management 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.600 thinking what this is, and it turns out you're promoting 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.480 something to make your richer. That's not cool. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.479 He must really just enjoy the challenge of building businesses. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:53.880 I mean, like your Lebron's James and you're George's Clooney 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.800 that don't match any money yeah or never will yeah, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.720 but they just enjoy the challenge of it. 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.640 I guess that's fine. But you can't on the eve 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.560 of a new season. Hint, you're retiring just for fun 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:12.640 to promote a product with your teammates, Like what, that's not. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.480 Cool unless you don't care anymore. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.400 Unless you don't care, you know, that's why it's not 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.959 his team anymore. That's not his main focus anymore. I 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:24.720 guess is the point different? LA story. This is wild, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.080 this is breaking news. They've arrested a guy and charged 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.640 him with starting the deadly Palisades fire in California. Oh wow, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.800 which you know all along it's been talked about. It 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.280 was lightning or whatever started all these fires. A man 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:44.480 was arrested Tuesday, killed twelve people, destroyed a huge swath 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.480 of some of the most expensive property and nicest property 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:53.280 in America. Twenty nine year old idiot of Florida, Florida 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.760 man was charged with destruction property by means of fire. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.680 If felon need it carries a up to a twenty 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.680 year prison sentence. Should be more neat near his home 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.680 in Florida. He was arrested scheduled to make his first 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.400 appearance in court this coming Wednesday. It'll be interesting to 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.400 hear what they actually have on him and why they 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:08.880 think he did. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.840 Yeah. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.640 The Palisades Fire was began on January seventh last year, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:21.560 burned twenty three thousand acres, which is absolutely amazing. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.840 Well, in all the death, that's surely twenty years. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.840 No, he's got to be put away forever, or put 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.840 him on the rack or something. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.000 Quartered I'll put him on the rack. That seems like 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.840 a good idea. How much time by got Michael? 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:36.480 Not about a minute thirty? 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.640 So yesterday the other day, where am I all like 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.640 a target or something like it? Beautiful sunny day, A 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:51.640 Camaro pulls in windows down, ACDC, back in black, blasting 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.920 out the windows. Oh yeah, and I told my teenage 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.720 sons that exact thing has been happening since nineteen eighty one. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.440 A beautiful full spring day Camaro with its windows down, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.920 blasting back in black from ac DC. Correct, But that's 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.600 wild that that was happening when I was their age, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.440 and it's still happening today. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.640 The hairstyle may have changed slightly, or the length of 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:15.760 the person's socks. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.720 Other than that, everything's the same. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.880 Everything's exactly the same. You're doing it for the same reason, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.360 you're enjoying it in the same way, with the same 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.160 male hormones and wants and needs flowing through your brain. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.120 And you know, I'm not big on nostalgia at all, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.480 but I have memories tied to when that album came 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:36.920 out and the people I was hanging out with in 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.440 the baseball team I played for, and how we would 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.760 have beer soaked poker games and just listen to. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.000 That that album is just good times. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.920 You're not big on nostalgia. You don't like looking back 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:49.880 fondly on things. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:51.240 Oh I do. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.520 I just I tend not too much, probably too little 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.880 in the great in the words of the great Neil Peart, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.480 I let the past go too fast. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.640 Yeah, I don't want to revel in today, which is 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.120 kind of sucky. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.240 I don't know. I try to make days less sucky 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.720 and like good ish. 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.120 Eh, we got we got, we got more, we got 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.200 to get to so s take. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.800 It armstrong and getty. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.399 So yesterday was the anniversary, as you know, of two 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.160 years ago October seventh, the the horror that Hamas unleashed 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:31.600 on Israel, and for some people it was a moment 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:38.960 to restate their allegiance to Hamas, particularly like the young 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.480 college crowd across the country, with a number of fairly 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:50.080 big demonstrations, a little frustrating, highly annoying. You come off 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.080 as crazy people in many cases. You're about to hear 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.560 one right now. So there's this guy named Nate Friedman, 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.280 young Jewish man by the way, but he's got a 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.960 popular YouTube channel where he interviews some of these idiots 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:06.000 and exposes him for their idiocy. He comes across. I 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:10.240 believe this was at the New York protest. New York 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.400 had a pretty damn big Hamas support protest yesterday, which 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.280 is troubling. Anyway, this particular guy was flying some sort 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.600 of gaze for Hamas flag or. 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:27.439 Something frans or Oh that was his flag? 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:27.760 Yeah? 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.960 Is that the one that's kind of pink and blue 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:30.640 and brown? 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.240 I must admit I don't keep up on that sort 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.960 of thing. But Nate Friedman talked to the well, I 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.320 guess it's a she because he says he's a transit. Anyway, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:40.680 he talked to the person. 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.720 So is this this is the translag this is the 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.840 Palestinian flag mixed with the pants? Okay, what do you 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.880 say to those who say that trans people. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:49.760 Would be killed in Palestine? 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.760 I mean, I don't know about that, but I know 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:57.000 that I'm standing here today. At least fifty percent of 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.600 the guys in government needs to be trans women like 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.920 Muhammad himself. Mohammad herself was head sacked a trans lesbian. 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.240 Muhammad was a woman. 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.480 Yeah, Islam is a trans idea, it's a trans religion. 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.280 It Mohammad herself was a proud trans lesbian. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.800 And Iran the morality police, and and also in Gaza 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.360 they kill trans people, Like do you think that that's 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:20.919 not true? 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.040 Or I mean I think they're secretly Jews if they 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.119 do that. They because no Muslim would actually do that, 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.480 like Islam is a gay religion. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.960 They asked, they asked Muslims in Gaza what you would 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.520 do with trans people? They say they we don't have 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:37.960 that here. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.199 We kill those people. I mean, I don't know, but 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.920 that's why we need to protest harder. That we need 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.520 at least fifty percent of the Palestinian government to be 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:48.280 trans women. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:54.080 How do we make don't so you know, how many 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:59.879 people does that person represent in terms of their intelligent 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.399 knowledge of the subject, et cetera. I don't know. I 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.639 think a lot larger than I'd be comfortable with me. 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.640 But that guy shouldn't be involved in anything anything at all. 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.600 Yeah, how do you feed yourself? How do you get 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.480 through the day being that good nuts and ignorant? You know, 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:23.679 there are more sophisticated versions of that. I would like 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:29.399 to ask, you know, a less looney young queer or 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:34.560 like transactivist about the whole You know, Islam is unbelievably 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.600 intolerant and by the way, is in fundamentalist Islamic countries, 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.280 they utterly reject the idea of the rights of women, 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.320 I mean completely reject them. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:45.280 Doesn't that bother you? 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.800 I'm sure they'd come out with some evasive answer to that, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.680 that their professor's taught them that that is just because 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.840 of the colonialism that they suffered under or something. 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:02.480 I suppose, right, I mean, the ability of human beings 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.239 to ignore what is clearly true to cling to an 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.240 ideology is amazing and terrifying. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.840 If you got best case scenario with Gaza, it's still 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.920 not going to be a friendly place for the LGBTQ 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:23.520 community almost certainly, no, and probably not much for women's rights. 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:25.239 Certainly not no. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:26.800 I mean they've the last time they had an election, 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.639 they voted for Hamas for crying out loud. Anyway, this 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.600 guy wants fifty percent of the new Gaza government to 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:33.720 be trans women. 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.520 I mean, can I ask what about trans men? What 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:37.640 the hell is going on here? 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:41.119 What an odd request? Anyway, he goes on, how. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:41.840 Do we make that happen? 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.960 I mean, we have to protest, we have to push 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.480 put pressure on the Jews who control the world to 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.520 make this happen, Like they own everything. We have to 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:56.760 make this. Are you Jewish? No, I'm Italian and Muslim. 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:58.399 So Jews own everything? 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:02.040 Yeah? 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:02.640 How do you think? 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:03.720 How do you think that happened? 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.040 How did Jews start owning everything? 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.160
