Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty, so big doing it at the White
Speaker 2: House today, big doings at the White House practically every
Speaker 2: day for.
Speaker 1: The first I was about to say two months. It's
Speaker 1: been a month and a week.
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable that Trump's been president for only a month
Speaker 3: and a week.
Speaker 1: It seems like a couple of years.
Speaker 3: Which I also wonder if there's because every president, even
Speaker 3: the popular ones in my lifetime, by the time you
Speaker 3: get like through that second term, people are ready for
Speaker 3: them to go. You just get fatigued about hearing their name.
Speaker 3: That happened with Reagan, Clinton and Obama. I mean, even
Speaker 3: though they were popular, it's just like.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just certainly the second term, yeah, the second term.
Speaker 3: But I wonder if that's gonna happen with Trump, just
Speaker 3: because he's so I'm the president in the news all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I had a plate. Oh he
Speaker 1: was asked.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he has asked anything, but today
Speaker 3: he revealed conversation he had with Joe Biden, who Joe
Speaker 3: Biden blames.
Speaker 1: For his loss. Trump revealed that today and it's really
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting, So I miss that. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: get to that coming up.
Speaker 4: And then you've got to prominent Biden advisor coming out
Speaker 4: and doing press now saying oh, yeah, yeah, we knew
Speaker 4: he was. See now we're gaslighting everybody. I think that's
Speaker 4: the word. Yes, So yeah, well we noticed. We really
Speaker 4: didn't need your confirmation, but thank you for coming out
Speaker 4: now that you're.
Speaker 3: I think the response should be or a trader to
Speaker 3: your country, enjoy these leg irons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh indeed, leg irons.
Speaker 4: There you go, dungeon, maybe iron mask, I don't know,
Speaker 4: thinking out loud. Hey, a lot to get to to
Speaker 4: squeeze in this final hour of the week. But first
Speaker 4: let's take a find look back of the week that was.
Speaker 4: It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 5: This is the kind of treasure he's some week.
Speaker 6: MSNBC canceled Joy Reads TV show.
Speaker 1: Hey, what I was doing? He value and value personally.
Speaker 6: I think it is a bad mistake to let her
Speaker 6: walk out the door.
Speaker 1: You could peel on my leg, but don't tell me.
Speaker 3: It's rain Happer writing this book is like Hannibal Lecter.
Speaker 1: Writing one on the dangers of cannibalism.
Speaker 3: As I said, you'd think, you know, I'm a guy,
Speaker 3: I would wear some sort of underwear.
Speaker 1: If I was wearing those pants, I wouldn't be uh,
Speaker 1: you know, fb in it if you.
Speaker 4: Will, right, it's just sensible.
Speaker 1: That's right. When I don't have a friend pink like,
Speaker 1: why but pink in the window.
Speaker 7: My message to young men is, don't allow this broken
Speaker 7: culture to send you a message that you're a bad person.
Speaker 7: There is a difference between the word woman and being
Speaker 7: a biological female.
Speaker 1: I don't know your gender. I don't know canvases. I
Speaker 1: don't know mine. You don't know my gender. I don't
Speaker 1: do I look like a woman. I don't know what
Speaker 1: a woman looks like.
Speaker 8: Another doge disruption.
Speaker 9: You're the White House. We say.
Speaker 1: Hell no to dismantling the postal service.
Speaker 3: I mention, Saint your postman, can you count the people
Speaker 3: in the house?
Speaker 1: What day can he do the census? Monday? How about Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Goes every day a grit.
Speaker 7: To achieve a trillion dollar deficit reduction, it requires saving
Speaker 7: full billion dollars per day every day.
Speaker 10: I'm not going to make security guarantees beyond very much.
Speaker 9: We're gonna have Europe do that.
Speaker 10: Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine,
Speaker 10: they get their money back.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 5: In fact, to be frank, we beat it.
Speaker 9: If you believe that. It's okay with me.
Speaker 1: The war didn't need to happen. It was provoked. Fair
Speaker 1: to say, it's a very complicated situation.
Speaker 6: And haha, there's Ukraine which has Chernobyl and some radiation
Speaker 6: proved dogs Chris Dugs.
Speaker 1: It's rip from it immediately turns to the Maverick space.
Speaker 10: If you put your effort in concentration into playing to
Speaker 10: your potential to.
Speaker 9: Be the best that you can be.
Speaker 5: I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end
Speaker 5: of the game.
Speaker 10: In my book, we're going to be winners, okay.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman in Happier.
Speaker 4: Times, substantially happier. Yeah, it was interesting what you informed
Speaker 4: use of earlier in the week that Hackman thought Who's
Speaker 4: yours was going to be a bomb?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he thought it was embarrassing in schmlty and.
Speaker 1: And Dennis Hopper drunk all the time, couldn't have helped. Oh,
Speaker 1: that was his character.
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting that stars regularly don't get it
Speaker 3: wrong about what's gonna be popular or whatever. I was
Speaker 3: reading trying of Michael Stipe of ram hated losing my religion,
Speaker 3: didn't want even want on the album, let alone. The
Speaker 3: first single on the album hit the radio. I thought
Speaker 3: it was a disaster of a song. There's no hook,
Speaker 3: there's no course, there's and it's their biggest hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I'm the same with John Mayer guitar player. It
Speaker 3: was just like his early albums. There is some something
Speaker 3: he didn't want to do and he hated and everything,
Speaker 3: and it became his like defining song. It's just it's
Speaker 3: interesting that the people closest to it sometimes are wrong
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I suppose I was gonna say that music is
Speaker 4: a little different, but it has enough in common. The
Speaker 4: one thing that strikes me is super interesting about movies.
Speaker 4: And I wish I could remember who said this, because
Speaker 4: I've heard it's kind of echoed by others through the years.
Speaker 4: But you never know if the movie is gonna work
Speaker 4: until it's done and you watch it. And sometimes you
Speaker 4: have something you thought was incredibly promising and you edit
Speaker 4: it and you watch it and you think that does
Speaker 4: not hang together, and you re edit it, then you
Speaker 4: shoot another scene because you realize the gap in the
Speaker 4: narrative whatever, and it just you can't get it to work.
Speaker 4: And then sometimes it just it tumbles together beautifully.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: I'd love to take a shot at it sometime just
Speaker 4: to go through that.
Speaker 3: I learned the most about that from Woody Allen's memoir
Speaker 3: where he talked about various script rewrites or things it
Speaker 3: didn't work and why it didn't work and everything like that.
Speaker 3: Because you're right, if you watch a bad movie, sometimes
Speaker 3: it just like you can't even quite put your finger
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't hang together.
Speaker 3: The you didn't build enough tension between those two for
Speaker 3: this development to happen or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, either you don't don't care, or you don't get it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is exactly right. You don't care, you don't get it.
Speaker 1: That's perfect.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not like one of those mind bending is it
Speaker 4: Charlie Kaufman who writes those crazy you're never quite sure
Speaker 4: what reality is movies like Endless, Sunshine of the Spotless
Speaker 4: Jim Carrey or whatever that movie was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, I got a question for you before I
Speaker 3: get to this Trump thing. Did we ever come up
Speaker 3: with a good word or did somebody come up with
Speaker 3: a good word when you're stymied by technological things that.
Speaker 4: Feeling that exhausted frustration. We did, but I can't remember
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 3: Last night was trying to get some tickets for my son,
Speaker 3: and I won't get into the details because they're boring,
Speaker 3: but we've all been there, and it just ended up
Speaker 3: being a you need to have an account, and then
Speaker 3: you try to get an account, it says you've already
Speaker 3: gotten account, and then you try to get the password,
Speaker 3: and then it says you need to set up an
Speaker 3: account to get the password, but when you try to
Speaker 3: do that, it says you've already gotten account. You know
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. I think it was texhaustion, and
Speaker 3: it's just so it's just so frustrated.
Speaker 1: That's trying to explain that to my son.
Speaker 3: That we've been trying to come up with a name
Speaker 3: for it, because it's its a long, unique feeling, I
Speaker 3: think because it's an inanimate.
Speaker 1: Object or something, but it's just ah, and you feel
Speaker 1: so helpless.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's such a multi layered frustration, I mean,
Speaker 4: because every step is stymied by you know, the evil
Speaker 4: gods of computers.
Speaker 3: Can you try to log out or log back in
Speaker 3: or unplug it or whatever the hell you try to do?
Speaker 3: And it's just, oh god, I hate that feeling. That's
Speaker 3: my least favorite emotion. I think it may have been texhaustion.
Speaker 3: You are texhausted. Oh okay. So here's what Trump said
Speaker 3: and kind of interesting. Trump told Spectator World. So that
Speaker 3: is that a British thing? Uh, the Spectator is a
Speaker 3: British publication. I don't know what that is. He just
Speaker 3: did a press conference with the Prime Ministry yesterday. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he had visited the White House to meet with what
Speaker 3: he called an angry by and shortly after he beat
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. We all remember that, sitting there in the
Speaker 3: Oval office with Biden, who was smiling and treating him
Speaker 3: like he didn't think he was Hitler, or that he
Speaker 3: didn't think it was in the United States, which he
Speaker 3: had said.
Speaker 4: Over and over again, or no, or maybe he had
Speaker 4: a plot to blow up a bomb under the table.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that was the actual Hitler.
Speaker 3: Never mind, I asked him, Trump says, I ask him,
Speaker 3: so who do you blame?
Speaker 1: Because he was very angry, you know, he was a
Speaker 1: very angry guy.
Speaker 3: Actually, and he said, I blame Barack Trump said, And
Speaker 3: he said, I also blame Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1: I said, what about the vice president? You know?
Speaker 3: Trump saying, how about the person I actually ran against?
Speaker 3: Did she come in for a kicking?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: No, I don't blame her, which was interesting, said Trump.
Speaker 3: He didn't blame Harris. He blamed me. He told me,
Speaker 3: he blamed those two people, Barack and Nancy.
Speaker 1: He hates Barack Obama.
Speaker 4: Well, at this point he probably doesn't remember who he is,
Speaker 4: but back when he did, he hates Obama. Obama undermined
Speaker 4: him and cut him off with the these multiple times.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he does not. He actually believes that if
Speaker 3: he hadn't been pushed out, he'd won.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, and he also believes that if he hadn't been
Speaker 4: wrastled out in twenty sixteen, that he would have beat
Speaker 4: Hillary in the primary and then beaten Trump in twenty
Speaker 4: sixteen and been a successful two termer before he was
Speaker 4: old in senile right.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 3: You know, once you're really old, though maybe you don't
Speaker 3: even have to be really old, why not hang on
Speaker 3: to delusion if it makes you happy?
Speaker 1: What's the harm? Generally? I feel like, you know, dealing
Speaker 1: with the truth is best, but some delusions, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Might as well take him to my grave makes me
Speaker 1: feel better. What's the hell side?
Speaker 4: But for Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, one piece
Speaker 4: of advice, four simple words. Turn on each other, not
Speaker 4: each other. Go to the press, name names, Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Iran if it decides to his days from having nuclear
Speaker 3: weapons quite a few of them, by the way, and
Speaker 3: Israel and probably the United States, that being Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: are gonna have to make a decision about that.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that at some point this hour. Among
Speaker 1: other things, are.
Speaker 8: The rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine. What a genius
Speaker 8: historic can move that accomplishes two fundamental.
Speaker 1: Things it wants.
Speaker 8: It creates a pathway for Ukraine to have American involvement
Speaker 8: and the security that comes with America's economic development in Ukraine.
Speaker 8: And at the same time, it repays America for all
Speaker 8: of the money that we've.
Speaker 1: Spent on Ukraine.
Speaker 8: And I would also add actually a third point, which
Speaker 8: is that it solves the ustern two problem of inadequate
Speaker 8: access to rare earth minerals.
Speaker 3: So that's Stephen Miller High level advisor to Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: If you're a Trump hater, you believe Trump's going after
Speaker 3: the mineral rights just you know, get money to extort
Speaker 3: someone even though they're.
Speaker 1: Mostly an ally.
Speaker 3: If you're a little more charitable toward Trump, it's closer
Speaker 3: to what Stephen Miller just said that. No, it's it's
Speaker 3: having us invested in Ukraine in a way that would,
Speaker 3: you know, help with the security guarantees the Ukraine needs
Speaker 3: to make some sort of peace deal.
Speaker 4: I hate the idea of the way Trump's put some
Speaker 4: stuff and as always you you can't hang your.
Speaker 1: Hat on what he says. It's what he does.
Speaker 4: But acting like this was a loan, because it was
Speaker 4: never a loan, no financing Ukraine. It was in our
Speaker 4: geopolitical interests to stop Rusher from ushering in a new
Speaker 4: wave of conquest in Europe.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. We've talked about that plenty.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, I can I certainly see Trump
Speaker 4: thinking all right, to make this look good for me,
Speaker 4: given my philosophies, it's got to be something more concrete.
Speaker 4: Our supporting Ukraine has got to yield something more concrete.
Speaker 4: Then this is good for the democracies of the world
Speaker 4: and to stand up against depression, because I just don't
Speaker 4: think Trump cares about that the way other people do.
Speaker 4: So he's saying, all right, let's go ahead and give
Speaker 4: Russia a stiff arm and defend Ukraine. But it'll be
Speaker 4: really profitable for the US and it'll take care of
Speaker 4: our really serious need for some of the rarets and
Speaker 4: minerals that Ukraine has. So it's a win win, and
Speaker 4: that's the sort of deal he likes to be seen making.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a way to kind of sneak in
Speaker 3: a security guarantee from the United States without.
Speaker 1: Provoking putin head on.
Speaker 3: Perhaps I don't want to give Trump too much credit
Speaker 3: or too much you know, derision for this, because it's
Speaker 3: possible it fits in with this the stuff about Iran
Speaker 3: being close to a weapon.
Speaker 1: I've been saying since before the inauguration.
Speaker 3: I think Trump is going to allow the United States
Speaker 3: to be part of, if not take the lead, in
Speaker 3: a major attack on Iran that takes out their nuclear program.
Speaker 1: And that might be, you know, on the calendar.
Speaker 3: As soon as we get this whole Ukraine or Russia
Speaker 3: thing to figure it out, we're about to enter a
Speaker 3: war in the Middle East with the biggest player, Iran,
Speaker 3: and we need to get this dealt with before we
Speaker 3: move on.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's part of the the whole thing. And it
Speaker 1: just popped into my head.
Speaker 4: Have you heard anything else from Mark Halpern or others
Speaker 4: about this alleged grand bargain that's umbling behind the scenes
Speaker 4: between the.
Speaker 1: US and Russian China? Right right?
Speaker 4: Because I could picture and oh, by the way, you
Speaker 4: gotta disarm Iran in return for this, that and the
Speaker 4: other being part of that grand.
Speaker 1: Bargain, right right.
Speaker 3: We aren't going to fight you on that Ukrainian territory
Speaker 3: with Trump thinking there's no way to get it back anyway,
Speaker 3: and we get Russia to give on quit being friends
Speaker 3: with Iran, We're about to attack them. Do not come
Speaker 3: to their aid possible Again, I don't want to give
Speaker 3: them too much credit. But well, we'll all live through
Speaker 3: this and we'll be able to, you know, figure out
Speaker 3: what the plan was.
Speaker 1: Let me read you this from the dispatch.
Speaker 3: Since late October, Iran has grown at stockpile of uranium
Speaker 3: enriched to sixty percent from a small number to big number,
Speaker 3: a fifty percent increase, according to new findings by the
Speaker 3: United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency. The Islamic Republic now
Speaker 3: possesses enough enriched uranium for six bombs should it choose
Speaker 3: to enrich to weapons grade, a process that would take
Speaker 3: only a couple of days. At this point, the significantly
Speaker 3: increased production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran,
Speaker 3: the only non nuclear weapon state to produce such nuclear material,
Speaker 3: is of serious concern. The Watchdog warned, there's no way
Speaker 3: Israel can allow Iran to get six nuclear weapons, and
Speaker 3: there's really no way we can allow it to happen.
Speaker 4: Trump has been unequivocal in his support for Israel, and
Speaker 4: he's the guy who adamized old General Sulamani. Right, that
Speaker 4: says to me, don't bet against us backing Israel in
Speaker 4: a serious strike.
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying this could be part of the
Speaker 3: whole Russia Ukraine thing in a way that is not
Speaker 3: clear yet.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is, but it certainly could be.
Speaker 1: It's conceivable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate to just wait and see, especially because
Speaker 4: you know, we analyze this sort of thing for a
Speaker 4: living and take a look at it and try to
Speaker 4: figure out what's going on. But there are so many
Speaker 4: question marks. Much like the death of Gene Hackman. Jack,
Speaker 4: so many question marks. Although I think I've nailed it.
Speaker 3: How come they haven't released what the pills were that
Speaker 3: you could have just read it on the bottle and told.
Speaker 1: You too soon, too soon.
Speaker 4: You don't want to tip off the evil doer, thereny
Speaker 4: and I don't think there are.
Speaker 3: Ay, No, they could just read the bottle and say
Speaker 3: it was a bottle of and it'd be something like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what you take if you trying to kill yourself, or.
Speaker 4: No, that's just you know, you don't disclose that stuff.
Speaker 4: Somebody's dead. So let's go through their medicine cabinet and say, oh,
Speaker 4: having trouble with erections. Apparently I've had a bottle of viagara.
Speaker 4: Let's see what else we got here.
Speaker 1: That's not a thing, Jack Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Musk is sort of right there in saying that the
Speaker 6: FAA's technology systems are old and aging and obsolete, and
Speaker 6: really backed up by this Government Accountability Office report out
Speaker 6: only two months ago.
Speaker 1: It said urgent FAA.
Speaker 6: Actions are needed to modernize aging systems. Ninety two percent
Speaker 6: of the FAA's facility and equipment budget goes into sustaining
Speaker 6: that old system.
Speaker 4: Wow, they're causing chaos. He's unelected.
Speaker 3: A couple of headlines that I've come across just in
Speaker 3: the last few minutes from the Wall Street Journal. America
Speaker 3: has never had an official language. Trump plans to sign
Speaker 3: an EO to make it English. It's going to sign
Speaker 3: an executive order to make English the official language. I
Speaker 3: don't know what that would mean in reality, because California
Speaker 3: has English is the official language, and it doesn't seem
Speaker 3: to mean anything in reality.
Speaker 4: Now, thirty seven languages on the ballot, et cetera. Yeah,
Speaker 4: be whether or not you enforced it, I guess.
Speaker 1: And then this headline in New York Times that I
Speaker 1: will read.
Speaker 3: The decline of the Christian population in the United States
Speaker 3: appears to have halted, a shift in part fueled by
Speaker 3: young people.
Speaker 1: A major study is found. Uh.
Speaker 4: Yes, I happen to see that the Pew Research study.
Speaker 4: Most Americans say they hold one or more spiritual beliefs,
Speaker 4: and the decline has stopped in church attendance and all
Speaker 4: sorts of stuff, and it's being driven by the young.
Speaker 1: That's hard to suggest here, and that's really interesting. I
Speaker 1: will read up on that and report back Monday. Excellent
Speaker 1: the rise of the nuns.
Speaker 4: It was called jack not Nuns and Uns n O
Speaker 4: n e s, a group that identifies with no religion.
Speaker 4: That the rise in that grew to about thirty percent
Speaker 4: a few years back, but it has stopped rising. Oh anyway, yeah,
Speaker 4: that to come. I clicked away from what I was
Speaker 4: going to talk about to echo your thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: I apologize. Where is it, Tello? Why I tire myself
Speaker 1: out sometimes?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: There it is. So this is I was trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how.
Speaker 4: To, you know, present this, whether to ask you to
Speaker 4: guess where this is happening England or the US, or
Speaker 4: just make somebody guess something because this is so crazy
Speaker 4: and outrageous you're gonna think it's fake. In January of
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, top law enforcement agency in the state of
Speaker 4: Oregon and launched a bias response hotline for students to
Speaker 4: report offensive jokes. I'm sorry for residents to report offensive jokes.
Speaker 1: A hot line to report offensive jokes. Uh yeah, that's correct. Wow.
Speaker 4: Staffed by trauma informed operators. That's a quote and overseen
Speaker 4: by the Oregon Department of Justice.
Speaker 1: The hotline, which receives.
Speaker 4: Thousands of calls a year, doesn't just solicit reports of
Speaker 4: hate crimes or hiring discrimination.
Speaker 1: It also asks for reports of quote.
Speaker 4: Bias incidents, cases of quote non criminal expression that are
Speaker 4: motivated in part by prejudice or hate. So Oregonians are
Speaker 4: encouraged to report their fellow citizens for things like quote
Speaker 4: creating racist images, quote mocking someone with a disability, and
Speaker 4: quote sharing offensive jokes in quotes about someone's identity. One
Speaker 4: web page affiliate with hotline, which is available in two
Speaker 4: hundred and forty language two hundred and forty languages.
Speaker 1: So say somebody tells a dumb blonde joke, I tell it.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got to hung up on
Speaker 4: the two forty languages even lists imitating someone's cultural norm
Speaker 4: as something we want to hear about.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that to you, I.
Speaker 3: Tell a dumb blonde joke. Katie's offended as a smart
Speaker 3: blonde calls the hot line.
Speaker 1: Then what did the people on the other end of
Speaker 1: the hot line do?
Speaker 4: Well, they take a report and they well, you know,
Speaker 4: I could describe it this way. The Washington Free Beacon
Speaker 4: call the hotline and reported a fictitious incident. To see
Speaker 4: how it goes and what happens? What they did was
Speaker 4: They described themselves as a Muslim concerned about the genocide
Speaker 4: and Gaza, and said he felt targeted by an Israeli
Speaker 4: flag on his neighbor's front door, adding that his neighbor
Speaker 4: had displayed the flag after the two had an awkward
Speaker 4: exchange about the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
Speaker 1: Within twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: The hotline operator had the display in a state database,
Speaker 4: referred to it as a warning sign, and suggested installing
Speaker 4: security cameras in case the situation escalates. He also informed
Speaker 4: the reporter that quote as a victim of a bias incident,
Speaker 4: a victim of a bias incident, he could apply for
Speaker 4: taxpayer funded therapy through the state's Crime Victim's Compensation program,
Speaker 4: which covers counseling costs for bias incidents as well as
Speaker 4: actual crimes.
Speaker 3: So I say to Katie, I'm so drunk. Is the
Speaker 3: mating call of the dumb blonde. And Katie is offended
Speaker 3: by that.
Speaker 4: Son's that's a felonious bias incident. In my opinion, I'm
Speaker 4: so offended.
Speaker 3: And then the agency suggests that she put a camera
Speaker 3: on me to keep an eye on me.
Speaker 1: And also she.
Speaker 3: Gets taxpayer funded therapy to deal with the having heard
Speaker 3: my blonde joke much needed.
Speaker 4: Keeping in mind that the free Beak and intentionally provided
Speaker 4: zero evidence of danger and was just reporting a religious
Speaker 4: and political symbol. But all that mattered, according to the operator,
Speaker 4: was how the symbol had been perceived, a key aspect
Speaker 4: of critical theory that we hammered back in the day
Speaker 4: and is mostly going away, but apparently not an Oregon
Speaker 4: where if you're offended your right. If you're offended and
Speaker 4: say I felt like he was racist, that proves it's racist,
Speaker 4: which disempowers the other person and makes them sit down
Speaker 4: and shut up. That's the exact reason for this technique anyway,
Speaker 4: even if it is not very this is a quote
Speaker 4: from the operator, Even if it's not very explicit, we
Speaker 4: go with whatever the victim is experiencing. And if your
Speaker 4: sense is that this is based on discrimination against your
Speaker 4: faith or your country of origin, that's how I will
Speaker 4: document it. So the hotline lets people report their neighbors
Speaker 4: for offensive flags based solely on the feelings of the offended.
Speaker 4: But Oregon is not an out liar. It's one of
Speaker 4: a dozen democratic jurisdictions, including eight states, that have created
Speaker 4: bias reporting systems for residents report protected speech. Connecticut let's
Speaker 4: users flag hate speech they heard about but did not see,
Speaker 4: so secondhand is fine in Connecticut. Vermont tells residents to
Speaker 4: report biased but protected speech directly to the police. Philadelphia
Speaker 4: has an online online form that asks for quote, the
Speaker 4: exact address of the hate incident, as well as the
Speaker 4: name and gender identity of the offender. Information the city
Speaker 4: uses to contact those accused of bias and request that
Speaker 4: they attend voluntary sensitivity training.
Speaker 1: That is extraordinary. We've got to beat these people, we
Speaker 1: really do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Elon just I should have had hands and get
Speaker 3: the audio. But Elon just retweeted something, a PSA sort
Speaker 3: of thing, and it's some dude that appears to be Asian,
Speaker 3: and he's sitting there and then he does this and
Speaker 3: he says, I don't know if you can hear that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: mich you could hear that, he said, you hear that sound.
Speaker 3: That's the scariest sound in the world. So that's the
Speaker 3: sound of living in a totalitarian country where you have
Speaker 3: to worry about that knock on the door. So that's
Speaker 3: the last sound I know my parents heard before they
Speaker 3: were taken out of our home. And I never saw
Speaker 3: them again, and I forget whichever god forsaken country who's
Speaker 3: living in where this happened, and.
Speaker 1: He was able to come to the United States.
Speaker 3: But his point being that, you know, this radical out
Speaker 3: of control to totalitarianism is the most dangerous thing out
Speaker 3: there and something we need to fight against. Everybody, every
Speaker 3: school kids should know this. More people have been killed
Speaker 3: by their own government than by wars in the last century.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely true. A couple of quick quotes before
Speaker 3: we move on.
Speaker 4: Nadine Strawson, who's a past president of the ACLU back
Speaker 4: when it was sane, said, we associate snitching on neighbors
Speaker 4: with some of the most oppressive regimes throughout history. The
Speaker 4: stazzi comes to mind. That was the East German Secret Police,
Speaker 4: I think, wasn't it. And then the beacon makes a
Speaker 4: point that wokeness seems to be on the back foot,
Speaker 4: but a lot of technologies and ideas pioneered on campuses
Speaker 4: are being repursed repurposed by state governments Blue states, especially
Speaker 4: Aaron Turr, director of public advocacy at the Foundation for
Speaker 4: Individual Rights and Expression FIRE, says, quote exporting campus bias
Speaker 4: reporting systems to wider society is a disastrous idea. When
Speaker 4: a state policy explicitly calls out quote offensive jokes, it's
Speaker 4: past time to worry, I would agree, Oregon, my god,
Speaker 4: check yourself.
Speaker 3: I don't know why this popped into my head. It's
Speaker 3: only tangentially related to a couple of things. I thought
Speaker 3: the thoughts were having as I am under the sway
Speaker 3: of cold medicine. But I remember sitting outside of a restaurant,
Speaker 3: and this was late at night in a college town,
Speaker 3: and a bunch of guys like walking from one bar
Speaker 3: to another. We're walking down the street and they were
Speaker 3: chanting what do we want a girl with low self esteem?
Speaker 1: Where do we want? When do we want her? Now?
Speaker 1: Is what they were chanting as they walk from bar
Speaker 1: to bar.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 3: And the female companion I was with it at the
Speaker 3: time said they'll find plenty.
Speaker 1: Well, at least they're being upfront. Yeah, I mean most admirable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird, it's it's funny.
Speaker 3: How like it's offensive and icky and exactly what's going on?
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I don't know how you're supposed
Speaker 3: to react to that. That's it's horrible. It is horrible
Speaker 3: and accurate and what is happening a lot. Yes, it
Speaker 3: was like one o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: It was late at night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, yeah, oh boy, I know it was a
Speaker 4: sobering story.
Speaker 1: Jack. Ironically enough, we'll finish strong next.
Speaker 3: So we're scrambling to bring you up to speed on
Speaker 3: a breaking news story of great importance that is happening
Speaker 3: right now as we speak.
Speaker 1: So Zelenski gets to d C. He's in the White House.
Speaker 3: He's there in the Oval Office and jd Vance and
Speaker 3: Trump start yelling at him and scolding him.
Speaker 1: Let's play a little of it on camera, on camera,
Speaker 1: and uh whatever.
Speaker 3: We don't have in this little clip, we'll fill in
Speaker 3: the other details ex change of prisons.
Speaker 11: But he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy? Gg
Speaker 11: us became bold? What what do you?
Speaker 9: What do you?
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
Speaker 7: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
Speaker 7: end the destruction of your country.
Speaker 9: But mister President, mister President.
Speaker 7: With respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come
Speaker 7: into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in
Speaker 7: front of the American media. Right now, you guys are
Speaker 7: going around and forcing con scripts to the front lines
Speaker 7: because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the
Speaker 7: president for trying to bring it into this.
Speaker 5: Content into Ukraine that you say, what problems we have?
Speaker 7: I have been to come, I've actually I've actually watched
Speaker 7: and seen the stories, and I know what happens is
Speaker 7: you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour.
Speaker 7: Mister president, are do you disagree that you've had problems?
Speaker 9: What bringing people in your military have and.
Speaker 5: Do you think that it's respectful on to come.
Speaker 7: To the Oval Office of the United States of America
Speaker 7: and attack the administration that is trying to trying to
Speaker 7: prevent the destruction of your country.
Speaker 5: A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning, short
Speaker 5: fist wall.
Speaker 11: During the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you
Speaker 11: have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will
Speaker 11: feel it in diffusion.
Speaker 5: Bless you.
Speaker 10: I'm blessed You're not. Don't tell us what we're going
Speaker 10: to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell
Speaker 10: us what we're going to feel. I'm not telling you
Speaker 10: because you're in no position to that.
Speaker 9: That's exactly what you're You're in.
Speaker 10: No position to dictate what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 9: We're gonna feel very good.
Speaker 11: Feel We're gonna feel very good and very strong, feel influenced.
Speaker 10: You're right now, not in a very good position. You've
Speaker 10: allowed your son to be in.
Speaker 11: A very bad position, and he's happened to be right
Speaker 11: about the very beginning of the war.
Speaker 10: Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
Speaker 10: right now with us. You start having right now. You
Speaker 10: don't your playing. You're gambling with the lives and billions
Speaker 10: of people.
Speaker 9: You see, you're gambling with world War three. You're gambling
Speaker 9: with World War three.
Speaker 10: And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country.
Speaker 9: This country.
Speaker 10: It's back to you far more than a lot of
Speaker 10: people said they should have.
Speaker 7: Have you said thank you once that no, in this
Speaker 7: entire meeting that you said thank you. Went to Pennsylvania
Speaker 7: and campaigned for the opposition in October, offer some words
Speaker 7: of appreciation for the United States of America and the
Speaker 7: president who's trying to save your country.
Speaker 1: Please.
Speaker 11: You're saying that if you will speak very loudly about
Speaker 11: the war.
Speaker 9: He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Speaker 10: Your country is in big trouble. No, No, You've done
Speaker 10: a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.
Speaker 10: I know you're not winning. You're not winning this. You
Speaker 10: have a damn good chance. We're coming out okay because
Speaker 10: of some president.
Speaker 11: We're staying in a country, staying strong. From the very
Speaker 11: beginning of the war, we've been alone and we are
Speaker 11: sankle I said, thanks, you haven't been giving it. He
Speaker 11: gave you, this, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 9: You will.
Speaker 10: We gave you military equipment. You and you met up, Brad,
Speaker 10: but they had to use our military one of you.
Speaker 9: If you didn't have our.
Speaker 10: Military equipment, you didn't have our military equipment.
Speaker 5: This war would have been over in two weeks.
Speaker 11: In three days, I heard it from putting in three days.
Speaker 5: This is something maybe less in two weeks. Of course.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's gonna be a very hard thing to do
Speaker 9: business like this.
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you just say thank you.
Speaker 7: I said it, except for American except that there are disagreements,
Speaker 7: and let's go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to
Speaker 7: fight it out in the American media.
Speaker 5: When you're wrong.
Speaker 1: We know that you're wrong, but.
Speaker 10: You see, I think it's good for the American people
Speaker 10: to see what's going on I think it's very important.
Speaker 9: That's why I kept this going so long.
Speaker 10: You have to be thankful you don't have the cars.
Speaker 10: You're buried there, your people that die.
Speaker 5: Tell you you're running low on soldiers. Listen, you're running
Speaker 5: slow in soldiers.
Speaker 9: It would be a damn goodness. And then then you
Speaker 9: tell us I don't want to cease fire. I don't
Speaker 9: want to cease fire. I want to go and I
Speaker 9: wanted this.
Speaker 10: Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I
Speaker 10: tell you you take it, so the bullet stopped flying,
Speaker 10: and your ment stuff courting kills post.
Speaker 5: We want to stop the war. But I'm saying you
Speaker 5: don't want to see you.
Speaker 10: I want to see because you get a ceasefire faster
Speaker 10: than any.
Speaker 5: Greets colored people of all. Its final what they see.
Speaker 9: There wasn't me you, that wasn't with me.
Speaker 10: That was with a guy named Biden who was not
Speaker 10: a smart person.
Speaker 3: That's okay, we gotta we want to jump in with
Speaker 3: a couple of things before uh before we run out
Speaker 3: of time here. First of all, this is historic on
Speaker 3: many many different levels. There's never been anything like that
Speaker 3: in public in the Oval Office.
Speaker 4: Ever. I don't think uh no, I'm horrified on several
Speaker 4: different levels.
Speaker 3: Are you ever gonna raise your voice ever once to
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin like that?
Speaker 1: Ever?
Speaker 9: In any way?
Speaker 1: No, you probably are not. Look for the barcessities a
Speaker 1: simple bare necessities like final thoughts to end an other show.
Speaker 2: I mean the bair necessities on Mother nage Sure's.
Speaker 7: Recipes, like final thoughts from our most Jack and Joe.
Speaker 4: Well, that was one of the most jarring trans in
Speaker 4: the history of broadcast media.
Speaker 1: I'm almost glad.
Speaker 4: The show is over. I'd really like to let the
Speaker 4: dust settle for a bit before I comment.
Speaker 3: Man, I know people are personally that loved that loved
Speaker 3: Zelenskia getting yelled to like that.
Speaker 1: I'm horrified by it. I think it is completely wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah I disagree. If I disagreed, I don't disagree. I'm horrified.
