1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: and Getty, and he Armstrong and Getty. I think there's

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: a decent chance the whole Russia Ukraine thing goes from

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: being something you know, people like me are interested into

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it as Trump it gets more involved

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: in this. But more on that later. Also, I assume

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: from all the promos I'm seeing on TV about Superman

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: that comes out this weekend, but Joe's going to try

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: to ruin that movie for us before it before your

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: kids get a chance to enjoy it. That's what I do.

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: So that's something to look forward to. Also, another AI

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: chat thingy coming online that could be huge, tell you

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: about that. Sunday will be the one year anniversary of

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: the almost killing of Donald Trump that kicked off one

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: of the craziest weeks and months in US political history,

17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. This is what it all sounded like.

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Try to remember what it looked like. He's speaking, crack, crack, turns,

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: his head goes down, Oh my god, is he dead?

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Pops up, fight, fight, fight, crowd comes around the whole thing.

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Here we go.

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: And you know that's a little bit old, that chart,

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: that charts a couple of months old.

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: And if you want to really see.

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: Something, that said, take a look at what happened?

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: What is there?

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: Hold?

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 5: Hold?

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: What are you ready? On? You ready?

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: Move?

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Moves here?

32
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: You ready?

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: Oh? No, shoot, we're good.

34
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: Shoots down.

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: I'm good to know we're Let me get my shoe.

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Let me so I got Let me get my shoes.

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So hold on your head, body, so we gotta get

38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: to bucks. Let me get ho tel Wow. I was

39
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: creaking amazing. I don't know if I didn't I heard

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: that audio before. You can actually hear Trump saying let

41
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: me get my shoes.

42
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 6: Wait, if you don't have chills right now, I hear you,

43
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 6: I don't know what's wrong with you. That was harrowing,

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 6: horrifying and amazing. And you know, we got talked about

45
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 6: it a lot at the time.

46
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: But what the hell sort of different world would be

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: be living in if Trump? You know, if that bullet

48
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: had been an inch to the right and his head

49
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: had exploded on television, and half the country would have

50
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: believed it was the Democrats that did it, or not half,

51
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: but a big percentage, and obviously you'd have a different

52
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: presidence right by now, that's for certain, and everything that

53
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: would go with that, And I can't even imagine what

54
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: that would have done to our politics.

55
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 6: Well, and I don't want to jump the gun, but

56
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 6: as I heard shot after shot rang out, I'm just

57
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 6: astounded anew by the incredible incompetence that day of the

58
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 6: Secret Service.

59
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Well, we're about to get into that who's to blame

60
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: on the incompetence part, but with the six being suspended,

61
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, reliving that and having

62
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: seen the videos again, the one year anniversary is on Sunday.

63
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: The fact that Trump popped up with the thought of

64
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: facing the crowd fist in the air fight fight fight

65
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: is just amazing. I don't know that one in a

66
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: million people could do that well, and it is going

67
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: to change world history, and not just in the obvious way. Okay,

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: a different guy because that helped propel him to the presidency, obviously,

69
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: but the enormous gulf between the policies of Trump and

70
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: the policies of whether it was Kamala Harris or the

71
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: se Nile Biden, that will absolutely be a pivot point

72
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: in the history certainly in the next century. No kidding,

73
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's stunning that world history can hinge

74
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: on something like that that could have gone the other

75
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: direct so easily, Right, which.

76
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 6: Is why assassinations are so horrifying. Right, one person should

77
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 6: never ever get that much power, certainly in a system

78
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 6: like ours, Just to mention the utter horror of it

79
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: on a human and religious level.

80
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, he's got you know, he's got kids, et cetera,

81
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: et cetera. Right, you shouldn't be a murderer for a

82
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: number of good reasons. Back to you. Secret Service suspends

83
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: six agents assigned to protect Trump during the Butler assassination attempt,

84
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: and this is around that assassination attempt. Six members have

85
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: been suspended for failures related to last year's assassination attempt.

86
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: I gotta believe it's got to do with the timing

87
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: of the year anniversary and how much attention that's going

88
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: to get, and people like you saying failures of the

89
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Secret Service blah blah blah, and that conversation being had

90
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: to get It's got to be, doesn't it that there's

91
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: no way coincidentally that this just happens odd, Right, I.

92
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 6: Mean the failures were obvious within an hour and a half.

93
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: Well, I got some inside information on that in a second.

94
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: But just reading the headline from yesterday, the suspensions for

95
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: six agents ranged from ten to forty two days, and

96
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: they won't be paid while on leave. They're not being fired,

97
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: but upon return to work, they'll be placed in roles

98
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: with diminished operational responsibility, which I happen to actually know

99
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: this happens in a lot of government work. Is kind

100
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: of practically a way of firing you, because sometimes people

101
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: get sent to jobs that they'd rather not do.

102
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 6: I suspect virtually all of those people resign fairly quickly.

103
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: But a ten days suspension without pay and you don't

104
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: get fired, how much of a punishment of that? I mean,

105
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: my only point is how much of this is just

106
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: to make it look like we're doing something about it,

107
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: where we did something about it. We're doing something about it.

108
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: So don't have a conversation about the Secret Service, because

109
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: obviously we're on top of it. Sure seems to me.

110
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: The Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn told CBS News,

111
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: We're not going to fire our way out of this.

112
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: We're going to focus on the root cause and fix

113
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: the deficiencies that put us in that situation. Well, that

114
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: might be enough for both, might be three days before

115
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: the one year anniversary. Just I mean, is that that

116
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: That just makes it look to me like it's not

117
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: clearly not one. We're going to try to have the

118
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: best agency that can be for protecting the president, or

119
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: you would have done these things eleven months ago or

120
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: six months ago, or whenever you figured out who was

121
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: to blame for whatever reason, you wouldn't have done it

122
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: on the one year anniversary. Yeah.

123
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 6: As I said at the time, this failure was catastrophic.

124
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 6: It was like GM failed to order steel for their cars,

125
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 6: or a football team showed up for a game on

126
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 6: Sunday having failed to plan out any plays.

127
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: They just forgot to put together a playbook.

128
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 6: It's it's a failure so egregious and enormous. I can

129
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 6: still hardly believe it happened. And the idea that it

130
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 6: would take NION twelve months to decide who ought to

131
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: be punished somewhat, but we're not going to fire our

132
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 6: way out of this, and it would take NION twelve

133
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: months to come up with policy changes, And I just please,

134
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 6: that does not even come close to smelling to passing

135
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 6: the smell test. Unless I guess you're a career bureaucrat.

136
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Well something you're probably not going to hear anywhere else

137
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: because this comes from a source with very good connections,

138
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: and this is a source that is Secret Service friendly,

139
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: though not always a cheerleader for because like any government agency,

140
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: you can have flaws. But I'll just read what they

141
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: their insight was on this. They said they've been in

142
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: touch with a lot of guys over the past few months.

143
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: They've heard some outrageous s. For example, one young Secret

144
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Service uniformed offer officer has been written up for a

145
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: abandoning his post at Butler. It sounds awful, but what

146
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: he actually did was leave his post at the entrance,

147
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: which was closed as Potus was on stage at that point,

148
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: and ran toward the stage where he saw people getting

149
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: shot at he assisted, intending to the murdered fireman in

150
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: the aftermath. For instance, the Service wanted to punish him

151
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: because they needed people to punish uh the Service. I

152
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he's among those being disciplined in this

153
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: six people. Additionally, I've learned that the woman agent who

154
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: famously had trouble with their Holster was directly responsible for

155
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: getting headquarters to actually send the counter sniper team to

156
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: Butler in the first place. Her decision saved everyone that day.

157
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Is she on the punishment list? I don't know, says

158
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: this source. I know who wasn't punished, and that's the

159
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: local police department who was supposed to secure the roof

160
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: and didn't. I've thought this from early on and have

161
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: multiple agents confirmed this over the past few weeks. F

162
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: those guys lazy asked cowards.

163
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 6: This person says, wow, Okay, Now I don't know what

164
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 6: that coordination looks like and to what extent the Secret

165
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 6: Service considers it necessary to check that what local law

166
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 6: enforcement says is being done is being done. I mean,

167
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 6: it's good to delegate, and it's necessary to delegate, but

168
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 6: at what point do you trust yet verify if you will?

169
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: But that is interesting to say. Let me throw this

170
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: in just very briefly.

171
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 6: It just found out yesterday nobody as Secret Services talked

172
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 6: to the widow of Corey Comparatoor, the poor fireman murdered

173
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 6: by the young lunatic, to explain the failures that resulted

174
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 6: in the death of the love of her life and

175
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 6: the father of her children.

176
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: That strikes me as awful. Uh yeah. So a little

177
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: more background, and this is interesting just from the whole

178
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: bureaucracy government agency sort of thing. There are protected layers

179
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: in all bureaucracies. Think of it like concentric circles. This

180
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: person says, who has been in these agencies outside the

181
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: circles are the worker bees totally expendable, easily punished. Then

182
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: you have supervisors inside the first ring. But supervisors in

183
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: the field don't enjoy the same protection as managers who

184
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: work at headquarters. That's the division I'm hearing today, this

185
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: person said. Guys in the field office who are told

186
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: to work with what we give you are being suspended,

187
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: while the supervisor and headquarters, who is at the site

188
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: the day prior and signed off on everything, has not

189
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: been held accountable and has been promoted since that all happened. Yeah,

190
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: that's typical of well, any business or government bureaucracies. Often

191
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: that is the case. Boy.

192
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 6: That is such a reality in law enforcement these days too.

193
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 6: Remember talking about the incredible rash of suicides among Chicago

194
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 6: cops because they're out there in danger circumstances told, yeah,

195
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 6: here's your policies, good luck, and then when they're shot up,

196
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 6: beat up, whatever, and things go the slightest bit sideways,

197
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 6: the politicians abandon them, throw them to the wolves. They're

198
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 6: outside those circles of protection. And I know that's the reality,

199
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: especially in bureaucracies, but man, I hate to hear that

200
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: about the Secret Service.

201
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Right. Lastly, the chest in the park story was hilarious.

202
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: Deal with the gorilla Henry true. This person says, Yeah,

203
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: all I want is it to be efficient. I don't

204
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: need anybody to get fired. If nobody deserves to be fired,

205
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't care about that, or fire fifty people, but

206
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: figure out what the problem or if it's the Butler

207
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: police as this person says, well, then we got to

208
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: fix that, right, I mean, that has got to be

209
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: a verification system. God, I would say, holy crap. Yeah,

210
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: and I we played that clip. I wasn't even sure

211
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: it was necessary to play that clip, but holy cow,

212
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: did that bring that back? Yeah? You know, I almost

213
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: said we dodged a bullet. We did. Oh my, I

214
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: can't imagine the turmoil this country would have been in

215
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: if he had been killed. Oo that would have been bad.

216
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on any of that text? Line four one, five,

217
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: two nine, five KFTC, the age.

218
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: Old question from every teenager mom or dad, can you

219
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: pick me up?

220
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: The answer for some.

221
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: Parents now just way Away, the driverless car company now

222
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: offering teens between fourteen and seventeen years old rides starting

223
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: in Phoenix Way moosas parents compare teens to their accounts

224
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: so they can hail the fully autonomous rides.

225
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 6: Shoot, wait a minute, Wait a minute, what if of

226
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 6: starting in Phoenix.

227
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't live anywhere near Phoenix.

228
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 6: Why would I want my kid to have a ride

229
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 6: starting in Phoenix?

230
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. That is so huge. Every parent who

231
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: you know spends a good chunk of their time. Seems

232
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: like all of your time running kids around like I

233
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: did yesterday tuba practice here, pick up another kid from

234
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: his schooling that he's doing private school during the summer,

235
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: and back and forth. I mean I spent half my

236
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: afternoon picking it up and dropping off. You got way

237
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: mood that can go and do that, and you trust it.

238
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: I assume that would be huge. Yeah, yeah, wow wow.

239
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 6: Because currently I'm still as a parent, my kids are grown,

240
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 6: but I still have a bit of a feeling of

241
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 6: I want to.

242
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Check into this a little more. But it'll take a while,

243
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: but as it becomes more common and you know, there

244
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: are not disastrous results, people will become more comfortable with it.

245
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I assume, like I've tried to either uber or lift

246
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: one of them wouldn't let me do it because I

247
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: tried to do that one time, and they wouldn't let

248
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: me put a kid in there without an adult. Because

249
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to I had one to pick up,

250
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: or I had to pick up another one somewhere else.

251
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: You know, one of those jams.

252
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 6: My headline there is your son is hanging with the

253
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 6: tuba my former instruments. Yes, of course, Ludwig von Beethoven

254
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 6: called the tuba the most noble of instruments.

255
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Really, I did not know that. Is that truly totally.

256
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: I got a good picture of Sam with like one

257
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: of the oldest or most famous tubas at the at

258
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the met in New York, so I sent that to

259
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: his band teacher, who really appreciated it. Of course. Oh god,

260
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: that's funny. And why is Sam paying a tuba? Because

261
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: he was big enough to carry it. That's how he

262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: got assigned to tuba Epstein One more time. Oh didn't

263
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: see this coming, you gov poll How confident are Americans

264
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: that all people connected with Jeffrey Epstein alleged to have

265
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: committed sex crimes will be thoroughly investigated. Basically is you know,

266
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: do you think there's a cover up or not? Not

267
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: at all? Almost half of Americans are not confident at

268
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: all that the investigation will be thorough on Jeffrey Epstein.

269
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Not very is twenty two, So that gets you to

270
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent. Two thirds of Americans are not at

271
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: all or not very So. I guess everybody feels like

272
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: there's more to know.

273
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 6: Well, and I think people just know instinctively that if

274
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 6: there are very important people which might mean politically powerful

275
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 6: or very very wealthy involved, and there is any level

276
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: of plausible deniability or a little murky how involved they

277
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 6: were in the real pervo stuff, that many politicians and

278
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 6: prosecutors will look.

279
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: For any excuse not to go there, right. I don't

280
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: think people understand that you come up with some sort

281
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: of like the doctor saying, hippa is the reason he

282
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: can't talk about Joe Biden's mental health. Yeah, that's the reason.

283
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you come up with something yeah good enough,

284
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah good enough. Joe's going to ruin the Superman movie

285
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: for us before we've even seen it, even though it's.

286
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 6: Us so Superman and move that's it beneath me? Sorry

287
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: I said that. Uh, and more media madness. I'm gonna

288
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 6: call out ESPN. Oh, don't watch another w NBA game

289
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 6: or bowling tournament and team hear my words, stay.

290
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 5: With us, Armstrong and Getty.

291
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Is this Crypto? What the hey, dude, I thought you

292
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: destroyed the whole Superman robots. I thought I told you

293
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on him. We feed the K nine,

294
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: but he is unruly and who realizes we are not

295
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: flesh and blood and couldn't, in our heart of hearts,

296
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: careless whether he lives or dies. Crypto so super The

297
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: new Superman movie is a bit of a comedy. I

298
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about that. As a clip

299
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: always been chuckles in the Superman movie. It's a clip

300
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: from the new See this was a man of steals

301
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be saving us from evildoers. I haven't got

302
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: time for joices throwing off a witty aside and again,

303
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: all right, anyway, there's a new Superman movie out that's

304
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be pretty good. I guess, I don't know,

305
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: But Jack there is controversy surrounding the new Superman movie.

306
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: James Gunn, the director of the upcoming film, and his

307
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: actor brother Sean, who plays some part, are under fire

308
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: after suggesting in an interview in a feign Land, London,

309
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: specifically that anyone who supports Donald Trump's immigration policies is

310
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: not American enough to appreciate their movie. Quote, I mean,

311
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean Superman is the story of America, an immigrant

312
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: that came from other places and populated the country. Uh.

313
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 6: He Then his brother defended the director's original suggestion, because

314
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: then they backtracked and said, no, it's it's fine. I'm

315
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: not here to judge people. It's a movie about kindness.

316
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: That's something everybody can relate to.

317
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: But then his.

318
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: Actor brother, not getting the memo, leapt to the director's

319
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: defense and said, yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes,

320
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 6: the people we support in this country are immigrants, and

321
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 6: if you don't like that, then you're not American.

322
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm sticking my fingers in my ears, la la la,

323
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: because people like you will ruin everything, because you certainly

324
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: hope to any TV show, movie, music book, pretty much,

325
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: if you look at the person behind it, they're gonna

326
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: have different politics than you, because it tends to be

327
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: the case with entertainers and you know, artist types, and

328
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: then I won't be able to enjoy anything.

329
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 6: Well, I thank you for beating the be Jesus out

330
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 6: of that, poor straw man. The actual problem here is

331
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 6: not that they have those politics. It's that they express

332
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 6: those politics in really rude terms, specifically in reference to

333
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 6: their project. Yeah, but we do hear about it in

334
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 6: the way that we didn't used to because because the

335
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 6: way everything's so divided. You're gonna tell me that very actors,

336
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 6: directors or whatever didn't say something I would have hated

337
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 6: it con you know, thirty years.

338
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: Ago, but it wasn't something, Oh, this will be huge.

339
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: You put it in the New York Post. The actor

340
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: in this new movie, he said something anti Reagan was

341
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: was not the flavor of the day.

342
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 6: Right, So we'll just label this section of the podcast

343
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 6: Jack in favor of communist Superman movie.

344
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I just I just I just say it's it's a

345
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: good point. I just can't you know, I got flipped

346
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: off again yesterday in my cyber truck. I just can't live.

347
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: I just can't participate in this world where we run

348
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: everything through the political filter. It just it wears me

349
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: out so moving along. Speaking to the other hand, when

350
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: it gets to be too much, like, it's so hard

351
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: for me to enjoy Bruce Springsteen. It came up on

352
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: one of my playlist things yesterday and I almost can't

353
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: which sucks. I love Bruce Springsteen's music, but gee, I

354
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: just think about him being so pompous and arrogant about

355
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: various things. I think, Ah, yeah, I actually agree with

356
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you on the point you made. At the same time, though,

357
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: there's that everybody agrees with me, and anybody who doesn't

358
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: is evil hubris that the Hollywood types and Bruce have

359
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: that bothers the crap out of me, no doubt, and

360
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: it would be lovely if they realized, wait a minute,

361
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: not everybody does agree with that. And the way I

362
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: put it that I put my sentiment was way too

363
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: aggressive and way too judgmental, and.

364
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 6: I had to learn from that. But at the same time,

365
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: I appreciate your point.

366
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: If I was gonna do actual analysis, non emotional analysis,

367
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: it would be I can't believe at this point, having

368
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: witnessed a bunch of this sort of stuff when you've

369
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: got so much money involved, that you would do that

370
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: It just seems shocking to me that you wouldn't think,

371
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna leave politics completely out of any

372
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: interview I ever do about this movie. I'm just gonna

373
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: flog my movie.

374
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially you're in Britain that has an enormous immigration

375
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 6: crisis going on and you just branded well anyway, enough

376
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 6: on that.

377
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: So I thought this was so interesting.

378
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 6: The folks at OutKick doing a great job writing about

379
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 6: ESPN and their history of cracking down on any political

380
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 6: statement by their hosts, by their reporters if it's republican right.

381
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: I was about to say, it's got to be just

382
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: one direction, because I hear all kinds progressive views on

383
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: ESPN are in sports in general, and.

384
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 6: Interestingly, Stephen A. Smith just called them out for it.

385
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 6: He says, you can't let one person get away with

386
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 6: it and not let the other person get away with it.

387
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: The rules have to be for everybody.

388
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 6: And they go into some examples where Sage Steel, for instance,

389
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 6: discussed vaccine mandates and among other things, and got suspended

390
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 6: in trouble for that. Last week, a couple of their

391
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 6: hosts praised Michelle Obama and that was not considered politics.

392
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 6: That's fine, it's a sports show. I don't know why

393
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 6: you're even talking about that. That's not that strong an example.

394
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: We thought they would never praise Malania Trump or Laura

395
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Bush exactly exactly.

396
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: That would be seen as really political and controversial because

397
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 6: not everybody agrees with that.

398
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: So let's see.

399
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 6: So they put out a statement about Sage Steele. A

400
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 6: couple of years ago at ESPN, we embraced different points

401
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: of view, dialogues and discussion, make this place great, blah

402
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 6: blah blah, but essentially, don't do it on the air.

403
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 6: Don't express your politics on the air like Steele. Ashley

404
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 6: Brewer is another former ESPN anchor with conservative views. Last April,

405
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 6: she told a story about how the network ordered her

406
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: to remove a post photo she posted with a Republican

407
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 6: Republican congressman at a sporting event. She got chewed out

408
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 6: and forced to take it down, and then she points

409
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 6: out that Mark Jones of ESPN isry cover photo for

410
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 6: all of his social media is him hanging out with

411
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 6: Barack Obama.

412
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of Mark Jones, I don't understand how more people

413
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: and it includes people on the right, because I've run

414
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: into this, you know, with people that are very pro

415
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: Trump or whatever. I just don't understand how more people

416
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: don't recognize that you might be in a room full

417
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: of people that don't agree with you when you say

418
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: various things, or when you're doing interviews and you're trying

419
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: to promote a product. How are so many people blind

420
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: to that? Right, half of the country disagrees with you,

421
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: whichever side you're on. Half the country that down, yes, yeah, yeah.

422
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 6: So anyway, I want to talk about this Mark Jones

423
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 6: character who does what color commentary Michael for the Sacramento Kings.

424
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: This guy is an America hating DLM activist. So here

425
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 6: here are the things he has posted online that ESPN

426
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 6: hasn't said a damned word about false claims that stadium

427
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 6: police officers were gonna shoot him.

428
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Dead because he is black. Oh my god, I remember

429
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: when he said that.

430
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 6: Wow, tweets telling Rush Limbaud a rot in hell the

431
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 6: day Rush's wife announced her husband and died of lung cancer,

432
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 6: lies about the police murdering Jacob Blake, who is still alive,

433
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 6: Posts calling Stephen a Smith quote a koon. Pardon me, folks,

434
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 6: it's not a term I would ever use. Posts calling

435
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 6: his white colleagues and bosses blind to racism in front

436
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 6: of him, tweets celebrating Nick Bosa of the forty nine

437
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: ers tearing his asl as payback for standing for the

438
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 6: national anthem and supporting Donald Trump. Wow, and he's kept

439
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 6: on saying Mago women are skanks, claims that Ron de

440
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 6: Santis is a member of the KKK.

441
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: I can go on. I've gotten through half the list.

442
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: So what does this guy do? He's the color commentator

443
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: for the King's radio broadcaster. He's an ES host an

444
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: anchor in addition to that, well as a guy who

445
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: lives in Sacramento and might enjoy the Kings. What does

446
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: he do for the Kings? Michael, you hear commentator but TV? Yeah,

447
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't see. That would be that's too far for me.

448
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't. Oh no, that's that's her reasons. I've said

449
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: for years the Kings are dead. I couldn't ever listen

450
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: to a game knowing that guy is involved in it.

451
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: You lose me forever with that. Yeah, and then just

452
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: is another contrast.

453
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: Last summer espl ESPN NFL analyst Demena Kymes uh oh

454
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Oh yeah, Chimes posted on let's say Oh

455
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 6: she endorsed Tim Walls on the air. There's something to

456
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 6: me really important about seeing someone like this modeling a

457
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 6: different kind of masculinity.

458
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: This man the.

459
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 6: Year he was a football coach, led the gay Straight

460
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 6: Lions at the high school. That's really powerful in a

461
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 6: way that goes beyond politics.

462
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: She said on the air on ESPN.

463
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 6: No repercussions, And as they write it out, kick if

464
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 6: you're a politician who puts tampons in boys' locker rooms

465
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 6: and dessert soldiers when they're deployed to a combat zone,

466
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: so be it. But just imagine the repercussions of someone

467
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 6: at the network made similar remarks about JD.

468
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: Vans. Oh my god, I'm surprised since Stephen A. Smith

469
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is by far the biggest dog at ESPN, by far,

470
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: him saying not cool doesn't carry more weight. Yeah.

471
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 6: Interestingly enough, Stephen in his last contract had it in

472
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 6: there that he can say what he wants about politics

473
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 6: or any other topic.

474
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: Good for him, but he's smart enough to know, like

475
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: what I was just talking about, the whole half the

476
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: country disagrees with whatever take I've got, So you know,

477
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: keep that in mind.

478
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 6: So one more wacky media bias story sent along by

479
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 6: alert listener Jeff. This is the LA Times had a

480
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 6: big piece entitled California refuses to comply with Trump administration

481
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 6: demand the bar female trans athletes. I was gonna save

482
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 6: this for a gender betting madness, you know, segment, but

483
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting that they go on to

484
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 6: describe the story how title nine Trump administration trans athletes

485
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 6: blah blah blah blah blah. Then you go to the comments,

486
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 6: and this is what Jeff pointed out. And then the

487
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 6: LA Times does not have a conservative listen readership. They

488
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 6: are a liberal newspaper. They're also the big dog in

489
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 6: LA these days. I'm just gonna read the comments in order.

490
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 6: Transgender females who compete against bio girls are bullies. I'm

491
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 6: a native California and I've lived in New York all

492
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 6: of my life. This sort of thinking is why trans

493
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 6: people deserve respect for their choices but do not belong

494
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 6: in biological women's sports. Don't they see it makes them

495
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 6: look like losers who can never compete against men as

496
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 6: well as bullies. Trans get out of women's sports, so

497
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 6: so unfair. Next comment, gendersy is a mental illness requiring

498
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 6: psychiatric care, not catering. Next segment, the picture caption says

499
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 6: it all.

500
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

501
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 6: Next comment, a transgender athlete is congratulated after a successful

502
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 6: hyjiup attempt. That's because she's a man, guys. Next comment,

503
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: how did we get so far off the deep end?

504
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 6: It's so stupid.

505
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: Wow. I could go on and on and on. That's

506
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: a good point if the La Times comment section is

507
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: that well, as we all know, it's it's an eighty

508
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: twenty issue. And as we often point out, I think

509
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: if you sat people down and said ninety percent of

510
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: people agree with you, you'd get ten percent more to

511
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: come along. They're just going along with it because they

512
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: think it's the prevailing thought, right, right, exactly. And I'm sorry.

513
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 6: It was actually alert listener Palo who sent this lung

514
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 6: but he comments, think you're saying that Dems are misreading

515
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 6: their constituents attitudes on transports. Yesterday, indeed, I was comments

516
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 6: on this story certainly seem to support your hypothesis. I

517
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 6: think Dems correctly assessed that they have constituents who want

518
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: them to stand up to Trump. I don't think those

519
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 6: constituents want their politicians to double down on the knee

520
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 6: jerk Trump derangement syndrome that played such a big part

521
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 6: in getting Trump re elected. Yeah, you're right, You on

522
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 6: the Democratic side have completely misread this issue. Completely Read

523
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 6: the comments on this Liberal.

524
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: Newspapers article, or talk to most anyone. You know, nine

525
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: out of ten of them we're going to say, yeah,

526
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: that's crazy, boy.

527
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 6: Make sure you emphasize to them now if you say

528
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: something I disagree with, I won't try to end your

529
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 6: career or get you ruined, because that's what people are

530
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 6: afraid of, because you do.

531
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: That all the time, vicious bastards.

532
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 5: Man.

533
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: There's some big stuff going on with the whole rush

534
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: of Ukraine thing, which could blow up into probably you

535
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't use that expression, blow up into the number one

536
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: story in America pretty easily, I think, depending on where

537
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Trump goes with this. But we got a lot of other

538
00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: stuff too, so stay here.

539
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: The parent company of Rich issuing a voluntary recall of

540
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: some sandwich crackers. The company saying some individually wrapped crackers

541
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: may be incorrectly labeled as cheese that may have peanut

542
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: butter inside. Shoppers with peanut allergies or urged to discard

543
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: any product identified in the recall.

544
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: That's my favorite story of the day. Some of those

545
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: little ritz crackers I had just I had a bag

546
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: of them the other day. Sam bought some as like

547
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: a backup emergency we're gonna starve to death airport thing.

548
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: He put in his backpack, and we ended up in

549
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: a situation where, for whatever reason, we sat on the

550
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: tarmac for forty five minutes. So instead of having you know,

551
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: an hour in between to get food or whatever, we

552
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: didn't had to run to our gate. Why they do that,

553
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of reasons, but it's very madding. Anyway,

554
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: had to go to the backup plan, which was his

555
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: little rich crackers, those rich crackers. And I don't even

556
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: know if it was cheese or peanut butter, because the

557
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: cheese ones don't taste like cheese, and the peanut wut

558
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: butter ones don't taste like peanut butter because or not

559
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: cheese or peanut butter, and uh, you know, and I

560
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: don't know which they were, but anyway, they're delicious, freaking

561
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: freaking delicious, a little tiny mini ritz with some sort

562
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: of something chemically in between. But this particular one was mislabeled.

563
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: The cheese when it was supposed to be peanut butter

564
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: or the other way around.

565
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: Yes, you're avidly against eating things like this, so this

566
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 5: must have been like a dire situation, right.

567
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, we were gonna starve to death. Okay. As

568
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: I've said more than one, I weep for your colon. Ah.

569
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 6: Oh oh, you want a cracker tip that'll change your life?

570
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 6: Who does a humble trisc it?

571
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Right? Familiar with the trisc it? Very crunchy, very crumbly.

572
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 6: Olive oil and rosemary trisc it with cheese. Its spectacular

573
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: as an appetizer at a fine Italian restaurant.

574
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: You would think, oh, this is delicious today. Oh I

575
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: love cheese and crackers. Oh yeah, jeez, and crackers is good.

576
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I grew up in Wisconsin. We had lots of cheese

577
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: and crackers. That's a good little that's good right there.

578
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 5: I got really a bougie the other day when we

579
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 5: were having company over and I made an almond maple

580
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: bree oh, and we dipped Granny Smith apple slices into it.

581
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: I could have just had that. I wanted to take.

582
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 5: The whole tray and say, everyone go home, you're no

583
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: longer welcome here.

584
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: This is better than I expected, so if you can

585
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: please leave. Yeah, I was just trying to like reach,

586
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, past fail level with pleasing you as guests.

587
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: But this is too good. Get out exceeded good enough

588
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: for this, Okay. So I'm highly confused by what happened

589
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: with groc Elon's AI thing praising Hitler or whatever. Here's

590
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: one news version of that trying to explain it.

591
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,239
Speaker 7: Elon Musk vow to retrain his AI system, known as

592
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 7: grock after growing angry with its answers. He said, we're

593
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 7: quote parroting legacy media. Those changes appear to have prompted

594
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 7: Grok to use some anti Semitic tropes, the chatbot, going

595
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 7: so far as praising Adolf Hitler. Grok also claiming Jews,

596
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 7: who are just two percent of the US population, hold

597
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 7: disproportionate roles in places like media, finance, and politics. What

598
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 7: they do is that control or merit? It questioned when

599
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 7: CNN asked Rockets sources for some of these posts. It's

600
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 7: at four chan, a favorite form for extremists known for

601
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 7: its hateful conduct.

602
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. So Elon thought Grok was just parroting

603
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: mainstream media. He recalibrated it, and then it goes to

604
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: four chan to get its information. Whoops, recalibrated too far. Whoops.

605
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Okay, I mentioned this earlier. I think this

606
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: could be a big deal. Open ai, which Elon helped

607
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: start but then left when they became a for profit

608
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: AI and he was concerned about it, is releasing an

609
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: AI powered web browser to challenge Google. Google's already suffering

610
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: greatly from chat, GPT and others like I never Google

611
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: anything now and now Open a Eye is going to

612
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: have one specifically aimed at Google. Google's in trouble.

613
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, clearly all of that is about to change so

614
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: completely and so rapidly.

615
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: Right, Google could be like, well, like what's on MySpace

616
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: was the biggest thing in the country and then disappeared overnight.

617
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: Hot job in America.

618
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 6: AI expert have some figures that will knock your socks

619
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 6: off all sorts of good stuff.

620
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: Next hour stay with us Armstrong and Getty
