Speaker 4: bowels of the Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound, which is

7
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 4: located in California, which plays into a lot of today's showing.

8
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 4: Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager co

9

00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: The mayor and the governor. What a couple of paragons

12
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: of wise governance they are.

13
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: So One of my favorite things that following politics all

14
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 4: these years is if you're in trouble, you say, now

15
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: is not the time for finger pointing. When you're on

16
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 4: the other side of it and you see smell blood

17
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: in the water, it's absolutely the time for finger pointing.

18
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: And everybody does exactly the same thing, both parties. Everybody

19
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: had just it flips scripts depending on who's in trouble

20
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: at the time. But if you're in trouble, you say

21
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: now is that time for finger pointing one.

22
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Of the finest lines ever delivered by thespian Homer J.

23
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Simpson after he'd screwed up the Simpsons Lives completely.

24
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: We could play the blame game.

25
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: Right, Mark Alpn writes is a newsletter today, hell hath

26
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: no fury like a homeless celebrity. Or put another way,

27
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: he said, a Los Angeles conservative is a liberal actor

28
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: who blames Newsome bass in decades of liberal government governance

29
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: for their houses burning down.

30
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: That could be true. That might play out for quite

31
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: some time.

32
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: La has the largest economy of any city in the

33
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: United States of America. Forty thousand acres so far have

34
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: burned It ain't over yet, ain't even closed.

35
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: Over seventy five.

36
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: Mile an hour wins over the next several days, and

37
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: the biggest fire is still not even close to contained.

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: Over twelve thousand structures, homes, and businesses that have burned down.

39
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a stunning number.

40
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: Second largest school district in the whole country down the

41
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: entire week last week, some of it opening back up today.

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: Major major disruption, and the loss of life is starting

43
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: to climb up there. Twenty four now, with a couple

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: dozen people missing, and then a lot of people had

45
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 4: been predicting this sort of thing for many, many years,

46
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: as we're hinting at, and we'll hear clips about coming up,

47
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: not being prepared, or funds going different directions, knowing that

48
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: the LA area was a tinderbox and.

49
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: This could happen.

50
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: And for the love of Heaven, can we stop talking

51
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: about celebrities. There are thousands and thousands of just everyday Americans,

52
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: working folks, retired folks have lost their homes. I mean,

53
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: if you're extra fascinated that Steve Gutenberg, who's done us

54
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: no wrong. I am not anti Steve Guttenberg, but you

55
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: find it so fascinating that, Wow, he's an actual guy

56
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: with an actual house. An actual fire's actually bad for.

57
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: His actual house.

58
00:03:59,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: Wow.

59
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, Well he'll read Doctor Seuss or something. Oh

60
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: that reminds me. I'm very excited about this. I'm thinking

61
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe our two. I've come across a new definition of

62
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: stupid that fascinates me. How do you praise if someone stupid?

63
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: I love that, and I know it sounds stupid in

64
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: and of itself in one way, but trust me when

65
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I say, well, it's a thought provoking A mental framework

66
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: to put on human activity.

67
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: It's the flip side of how do you assess if

68
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: someone smart, which is also very very difficult, and what

69
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: that means. Well, the only reason I brought up celebrity

70
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: and I would agree with you any any anybody or

71
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: outlet that tries to pretend it's a bigger deal if

72
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: Sylvester Stallone's home burns down than somebody else's.

73
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know what that is.

74
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: But indeed, anybody who pretends like it's a smaller deal

75
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: because it's quote unquote a bunch of rich people, right,

76
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: you're an ass and I hate Oh that was too strong.

77
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: I APOLOGI so at Halprin's point is they get a

78
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: lot of attention and if they are hell half no fury,

79
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: like a homeless celebrity, they could drive the politics on this,

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: no doubt about it.

81
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: Oh well, there's the whole rich thing. Though.

82
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: There is no doubt that if you got money you're

83
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: gonna have to be in a hotel for a couple

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: of weeks is different than if you don't got money.

85
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: I mean, now, completely different world. And I just heard

86
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: the insurance Commissioner of California. Maybe this's just taken out

87
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: of context, and it doesn't sound as bad as it

88
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: seemed when it was played on NPR.

89
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was their point, but is the.

90
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: Insurance commissioner saying and the last thing people should be

91
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: worrying about is insurance right now? You know, this is

92
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: the time to worry about your your your family and

93
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 4: whether you know everybody's safe. And I thought, okay, as

94
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: soon as I've counted my family and we're all here,

95
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 4: my second thought is how am I going to pay

96
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: for all this?

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: That's my second thought. Yeah, yeah, I know.

98
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: There was one point I think it was him, Laura

99
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: was trying to make that don't sign anything right now

100
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: because a lot of the insurance company.

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: But here's here's settlement. I believe that.

102
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Yeah, I do not sign anything. Yeah,

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: but you might be in a situation where you got

104
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 4: no money. You're putting your whole family in a hotel

105
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: for the next week, and you're paying the bill tomorrow,

106
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: and the insurance company's offering you checking you've got no

107
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: other money. I can see how it'd be very enticing.

108
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, So, Yeah, it's nightmarish. And the competition for

109
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: hotel rooms and rental units of any sort has gone berserk, obviously,

110
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: with thousands of families homeless just trying to rent anything

111
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: at any terms, and rents their Skyrocketing's stawful.

112
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: You wouldn't You didn't think that anywhere in the world.

113
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: Some of the most well known iconic everybody's seen it,

114
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: people travel from around the globe to witness its stuff could.

115
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: Be destroyed by mother nature like this, well and a fire.

116
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I do history tours everywhere I go, and I'm kind

117
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: of used to the old and then the Great Fire

118
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: of eighteen forty hit or whatever, and it, you know,

119
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: torched the town. They had to rebuild, et cetera. And

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: every time I hear that, I think, thank God. We

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: live in the modern world, modern building materia, materials of

122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: firefighting equipment, et cetera, et cetera, But no match for

123
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: a horrendous confluence of natural phenomenon in the phenomena in

124
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the uh in the hills of California, and be utterly

125
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: incompetent leadership right for.

126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: Years and years, you combine a uh not normal one

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: hundred mile an hour wind gusts for several days in

128
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: a row with mismanagement, You got it.

129
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: Well you got what you got, what you're seeing on

130
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: TV every night?

131
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, in a helpful metaphor, might be because it

132
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: is absolutely true that the natural, the weather, you know,

133
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: related situation is crazy, unfortunate and very very rare.

134
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: That is true.

135
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: But it's like if I gamble and do drugs all

136
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: the time, I've spent my family, say I've lived a profligate,

137
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: indefensible lifestyle, and then I blow a tire and I

138
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: say to my wife.

139
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Or broke because I blew a tire? Is that my faults? Right?

140
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: No, that's the story of California is exactly. There's a

141
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: reason people are fleeing one of the most beautiful places

142
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: on earth by the hundreds of thousands.

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I heard this stat Let me find this real

144
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: quick because I thought this was damned interesting about.

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: So here it is.

146
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: There are one hundred and seventy seven thousand taxpayers in

147
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: California that pay roughly half of all state taxes.

148
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: How many of.

149
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: Their homes or businesses were the twelve thousand destroyed in

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: the fire? And do you think they're going to sit

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: around for the average of five years it takes to

152
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: get permits to rebuild and stay in the state. I

153
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: wonder about that, or at least in the area if

154
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: they were in before. Maybe maybe not. This is this

155
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: is a crowd for a lot of these people that

156
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: have options, and maybe.

157
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: Their best option isn't returning to the same spot.

158
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: The fallout will last for many, many years, and it's

159
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: worth mentioning, especially for folks around the country who are like,

160
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: I get it, there's a fire in LA. This could

161
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: be the greatest natural disaster well, certainly in the top

162
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: couple in US his time. Absolutely up there with like

163
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: gigantic hurricanes.

164
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 4: Cost wise, it definitely can be a Yeah, it's quite stunny.

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Well, I hadn't.

166
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: Watched a lot of the videos in the last week

167
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: because I thought, you know, I've seen a lot of

168
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: really bad fires. I'm sure it looks a lot like that.

169
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: I was watching a video last night during the one

170
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: hundred mile an hour winds. It looked like it was

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: CGI or something. It looked like something from a space movie.

172
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: The way the fire hurricane blow us exploding down the street.

173
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

174
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: And as I heard some fire chief person somewhere yesterday say,

175
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: it wouldn't have mattered if we had every truck in

176
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: the country here at points last week there was nothing

177
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: that could have been done with that fire in those winds.

178
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that is true, That's absolutely true.

179
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: And it's also true that this will shine a light

180
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: on the horrifically unwise leaders California in LA for a

181
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: very very long time. We cannot let those who would

182
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: prefer sane governance not utterly idiotic, corrupt governance. And I'm

183
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: not saying that as some sort of hyperbolic talk show

184
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: host trying to be exciting. The depths of the incompetence

185
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: and dishonesty of government in California is it's difficult to

186
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: comprehend if you haven't lived it. But if this will

187
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: expose that, even if the one hundred mile per hour

188
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: gusts made it utterly unfightable, it's still worse. Pointing out

189
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: the question isn't would that particular house have burned down

190
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: anyway if Gavin Newsom were in a complete fraud?

191
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: That's not the question.

192
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: God, I don't know who his body people are, and

193
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,800

Speaker 4: The unbuttoned tight shirt, the super cool sunglasses, the slickback hair,

197
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: I really think it's doing you more harm than good.

198
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: I don't think you're getting the like Kennedy vibes like

00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880

00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: Always say yes, Always say yes. It never works to

232
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: not say yes ever. Yeah. Yeah, well, he's a weasel.

233
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: It's not easy to get a weasel in human clothing

234
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: and teach him to speak, So they're gonna be flaws.

235
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: Mail Bag come away text line four one five two

236
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: nine five k ftc.

237
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: Are strong. Here's maybe an example of what Joe was

238
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: talking about.

239
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: The house where the doors wrote light my fire burnt down,

240
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: And that's point inter.

241
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: Deeper. Ironic. I don't know what it is.

242
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: I think it's nothing. Ironic, all right, clearly ironic, all right,

243
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: with a small eye.

244
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

245
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: He's from Clay Routledge.

246
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: Here's work I did not know he's a leading expert

247
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: in existential psychology.

248
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: Sure he's fun at a party.

249
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: I kid, he seems like a fascinating guy. Actually, in

250
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: my very quick perusal of his work. Here's here's his quote.

251
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: We are living in an era of woke capitalism in

252
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: which companies pretend to care about social justice to sell

253
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: products to people who pretend to hate capitalism.

254
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 4: That's like the Chris Rock bit. But Lululemon, we don't discriminate.

255
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 4: He discriminated against the poor.

256
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Living in an era of volk capitalism in which companies

257
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: pretend to care about social justice to sell products to

258
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,359
Speaker 1: people who pretend to hate capitalism.

259
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: Well said Clay mailbag.

260
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: There's a mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com

261
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: from Tom and SoCal guys. Time to take California back.

262
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: No new reservoirs in decades, right generations, a water policy

263
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: that protects a series of species of smelt. Just wait

264
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: for the inevitable changes to water policy to help save

265
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: one bass.

266
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I get it, as in Karen, well, we'll play.

267
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: We'll play some of the stuff from the fire chief

268
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: who get a couple interviews over the weekend. But she

269
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: since I don't remember the numbers, but this is close enough.

270
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: Since the sixties, the population has expanded thirty times. We

271
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: have actually fewer firehouses, was one thing she said.

272
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, shocking, Marina and Sandiego writes, seems you missed a

273
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: good comment from your best buddy, Adam Carolla on gut

274
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: filed Wednesday night.

275
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Adam Corolla, Michael, we have any armstrong and gededdy.

276
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: There he is, He said, it looks like there could

277
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: be over sixty thousand people would be homeless tonight due

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: to the fires, and he could almost guarantee that no

279
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: one would be sleeping under a freeway over passer behind

280
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: a dumpster. They're going to reach out to the network

281
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: of family and friends to help them, Greg added, Yet

282
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: not to people they stole from the get their drugs right.

283
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Housing is not the problem with the so called homeless problem.

284
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: It's transient drug addicts moving along.

285
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: Darren Rights.

286
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: After a football game today, I caught part of a

287
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: press conference where some government spokeshole was gushing about how

288
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: they're going to streamline the process to make it really

289
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: easy to get permits to rebuild after the fires, as

290
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: if admitting they could have been more efficient all along,

291
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: but they just chose not to be as good luck. Hey, government,

292
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: here's a wild idea. How about you always try to

293
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: be streamlined inefficient the stuff you're deciding to do right

294
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: now to be more efficient, always do that. That's an

295
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: excellent point. I'm not going to pat you on the

296
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: back from momentarily deciding to suck less just because everybody

297
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: is watching.

298
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: Well, said Darren. That's pretty good, thunder brother, love it.

299
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: How about this Ryan in Houston, dear Big Freedom and

300
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: no Pie in twenty five? Uh no Pie, that's a

301
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: good nickname for you.

302
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: Oh no Pie.

303
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Did Newsom and Warren as in Elizabeth really send their

304
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: followers to donate to Act effing Blue for donations for

305
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the LA wildfire? How tone deaf could they be? Ryan

306
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: in Houston is a solid longtime correspondent. I thought, wait

307
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: what and I looked it up. Sure enough, Gavin Newsom

308
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: unleashed a new fact check website to combat misinformation, and

309
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: it's on holy cousin disinformation. And it turns out that

310
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: site has a big link to donate to Act Blue,

311
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party fundraising giant.

312
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: Wow awful.

313
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Finally, on a totally different topic, Joe Biden and Jill

314
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Hating on Kamala at the funeral JT and livermore Right, So,

315
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't get why Biden's upset with Kamala. If there's

316
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: one person who went above and beyond the call of duty,

317
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: literally the constitutional call of duty, to remove Biden from

318
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: the oval office, it would be Kamala. She had the

319
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: power and the constitutional mandate to remove Biden from the presidency,

320
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: but she never so much as hinted that it was

321
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: something she should do.

322
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe Biden shouldn't be mad at her. Of all people,

323
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: Joe Biden given his final foreign policy speech today to

324
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 4: try to talk about all these accomplishments his life.

325
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes and have the highlights. We

326
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 3: have time for it.

327
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: Wow, if anybody was short on crap, you know what

328
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: we need, honeys, We'll just a little more crap. The

329
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: LA fire chief with a heckumited admission, gutsy admission on Friday.

330
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you missed, among other things, on the Waistay with

331
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: its Armstrong and Getty.

332
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: I just saw this fun fact on the TV, which

333
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: I happened to know.

334
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 4: I've known since I was a kid. Stuck in my head,

335
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 4: how much does it gallon of water? Way worth knowing

336
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: in case you ever come up with a situation and

337
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 4: it's myself was fascinated by that very thing. Again, this

338
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 4: is a number that stuck in my head since I

339
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: was a kid, in case you have to carry a

340
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: five gallon bucket or something like that. Maybe that's why

341
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: I didn't remember, because I was regularly having to carry

342
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: buckets of water for various jobs. A gallon of water

343
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: weighs the same as the average human head, by the way,

344
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: eight pounds. I've never weighed my head now I don't

345
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 4: have to here, probably weighs a lesson. Yeah, I think

346
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 4: you do not have the average eman head.

347
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: Neither do I. We have above average heads.

348
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about above average intelligence coming up a

349
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 4: little bit or below average intelligence?

350
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 3: I guess is that right?

351
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Sort of don't jump the gun there, sir, What does

352
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: stupid mean?

353
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 4: So I want to play this one more time to

354
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 4: tease to next hour. I don't know if this is

355
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: below average intelligence, it's below average skills at dealing with

356
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 4: the crisis. Notice he doesn't say, yes, this is Gavin Newsom.

357
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: Does the buck stop with you?

358
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 6: I mean, your governor of California, inviding it will be

359
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 6: the mayor of California.

360
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 5: We're all in this together. We're all better off, we're

361
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: all better off, we're all better off, and we're working

362
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: together to take care of people.

363
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: What it's like my brand new smart bot like you

364
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: were telling us about Friday malfunction?

365
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: There?

366
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Ah, shoot, I got to reboot its speech center again.

367
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 3: What there was? Play that again? That was odd in

368
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: several different ways. Does the buck stop with you?

369
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 6: I mean your governor of California, indviding it will be

370
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 6: the mayor of California.

371
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: We're all in this to we're.

372
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 5: All better off, we're all better off, we're all better off,

373
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: and we're working together to.

374
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Take care of people.

375
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: What I say again? He was spinning. His brain was spinning.

376
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: How do I answers?

377
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: Yes?

378
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: You gotta say yes. If you don't say yes, you're

379
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 4: in trouble. As a president, governor anybody. When a big

380
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 4: crisis is happening and people ask you if the buck

381
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 4: stops with you, you got to say yes. If you

382
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: don't want to have a butt or a caveat or

383
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: something to dig yourself out of the hole, maybe you

384
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: do that.

385
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: You gotta say yes to a large extent, Yes, it does.

386
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: Of course it does.

387
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: I'm the one that can get to the bottom of this,

388
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 4: so yes, it does. Stop with me. I'm the one

389
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: that can get the answers. I am gonna get the answers.

390
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: Why did the fire hydrants run out? Were we prepared?

391
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: Who's at fall? What policies need to change? That's a

392
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: simple answer. If we fall, if we failed, we're gonna

393
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 4: call that out.

394
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna fix it. Right. But he can't because he.

395
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Has no.

396
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 4: Mayor and someone that But when we work together, we

397
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: work together. We worked together, he says, three times in

398
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: a row for some reason.

399
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: All better off.

400
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: When we're all better off, and we're better off. What

401
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm the mayor of California. What he is a man

402
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: portraying a man with character, So this is a good transition.

403
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom set up a misinformation site over the weekend

404
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: to combat misinformation. He thinks there's too many people putting

405
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 4: out things that aren't true, and he's working the misinformation beat.

406
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: As we all have learned over the last several years,

407
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 4: particularly through COVID, one man's misinformation is another man's freaking facts.

408
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 4: It's one of the problems, and there is a lot

409
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: of misinformation that floats around, but.

410
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: There are also a lot of facts that float around

411
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 3: and sometimes get put down.

412
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 4: His misinformation, which happened with, among other places, Facebook during

413
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: the pandemic, and they wouldn't allow all kinds of different

414
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 4: pieces of info that turned out to be just flat true.

415
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: Why did that happen? Joe Rogan interviewed Mark Zuckerberd on Friday.

416
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 4: Unfortunate that this happened on a Friday, headed into a

417
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 4: playoff weekend, and with the biggest natural disaster maybe in

418
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 4: American history going on, it kind of got bare. Here

419
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: is a little bit of it, and we'll fill in

420
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 4: the rest.

421
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: Because during the Biden administration, when they were trying to

422
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: roll out the vaccine program, and I'm generally like pretty

423
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: pro rolling out vaccines. I think on balance the vaccines

424
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: are more positive than negative. But I think that while

425
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 2: they're trying to push that program, they also tried to

426
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: censor anyone who is basically arguing against it, and they

427
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: push us super hard to take down things that were

428
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: honestly were true, right. I mean, they basically pushed us

429
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: and said, you know, anything that says that vaccines might

430
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: have side effects, you basically need to take down and

431
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: I was just like, we're not going to do that, Like,

432
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: we're clearly not going to do that. I mean that

433
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: that is kind of in arguably.

434
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: So this should be a giant scandal. Actually, I came

435
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 4: across this on Randy Barnett's Twitter. I don't know if

436
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 4: you know him. He's got a book out that's getting

437
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: a fair amount of attention among legal nerds about originalism.

438
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 4: He's law professor at Georgetown or George rgin Dinner, one

439
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 4: of those East Coast fancy universities.

440
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 3: Super smart guy. He said.

441
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: The Biden administration pressure on Facebook should be a big

442
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 4: news story and a huge scandal. It should be big

443
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: enough for the Supreme Court to hear about. Mark Zuckerberg said,

444
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: Biden administration officials used to call and scream at us,

445
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 4: demanding we remove COVID related content, even things that were

446
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 4: facts or memes or humor. When we refused, we found

447
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 4: ourselves under investigation by several agencies.

448
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: But that's that's not censorship according to that lower court

449
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: that heard the case.

450
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: That's a giant story.

451
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: I know, I know I was yelling as loud as

452
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: I could yell about that for a very long time.

453
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 7: It needs.

454
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: I have two thoughts in their kind in conflict. Number one, it's.

455
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Difficult to get real critical mass in America without some

456
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: buy in from a substantial part of the mainstream media.

457
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: It's just difficult to get the real tsunami going without

458
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, in the New York Times and that

459
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: sort of media. And there are a number of different

460
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: stories that we're going to talk about today that match

461
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: that description. They ought to be enormous, but you can't

462
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: get them to pay attention because, well, this is a

463
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: perfect example because of how intensely uncomfortable they are with admitting, yeah,

464
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: all the gung hoism during COVID was really misplaced and unconstitutional,

465
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: and we are often on the wrong side of it.

466
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: It's difficult to get people to admit that anyway. The

467
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: conflicting thought is that the idea that you can't get

468
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: things going without at least some participation by the mainstream

469
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: media is getting less true by the day.

470
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 4: But having out of Zuckerberg's own mouth that they the

471
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: freaking government was calling him up and screaming at him

472
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 4: to take down fact and if he refused, the Agent

473
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: Sees would start getting on him and pressuring him is unbelievable.

474
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 4: I mean that just clear cut of case of I

475
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: think first minimum violation, you could practically right up in

476
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 4: like a made up ethical walk course.

477
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: Well sure, yeah.

478
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: And the fact that they didn't say or will come

479
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: in and destroy your printing press. I mean, because that's

480
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: apparently what it would take to convince, for instance, the

481
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: Washington Post that something terrible had taken place. No, they said,

482
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: you do this for us, or we are going to

483
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: regulate you to death. We're gonna investigate you to death.

484
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna screw with you every chance we have.

485
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: Come on.

486
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: Now, there's a fair amount of course of well, hey, Zuckerberg,

487
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 4: you should have stood up to him.

488
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: You got a big mouthpiece.

489
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 4: You're the third richest man in the world to say

490
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 4: this is what the government's doing and pushback. It's easier

491
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 4: said than done if you're in that position in the

492
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 4: midst of the pandemic and you happen to agree with

493
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: the administration on a lot of things.

494
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's true.

495
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: Plus, he witnessed the lock steppery of the major and

496
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: minor media. I mean, except for independent media like ourselves,

497
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: nobody was speaking truth to power. He just he must

498
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: have made the calculation I'm gonna run this up the

499
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: flagpole and nobody's gonna salute, so to hell with it.

500
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: Take down the take down the Great Barrington Declaration, which

501
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: was point by point correct.

502
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: I appreciate Zuckerberg saying some of the things we took

503
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: down flat out fact, and then a whole bunch of

504
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: other stuff that were just jokes or memes, which the

505
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: government obviously doesn't get to regulate.

506
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate to be sympathetic to Mark Zuckerberg, who

507
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: I still believe to be on balance evil, but I

508
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: would much rather have him. And I'm pissed off about

509
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: the COVID stuff. I will die pissed off about it,

510
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: which is probably not healthy. But I survived COVID, but

511
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: I'll die of anger about COVID I anyway. But I

512
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: appreciate him being here, even late to the party for

513
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: what reasons, just for the sake of the First Amendment.

514
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: I kind of appreciate the conversation being had late better

515
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: than ever.

516
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: I had another point on that.

517
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: Oh, Zuckerberg went back down to mar A Lago over

518
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 4: the weekend for some reason and talked to Trump, flew

519
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: his private jet down there, parked it next to Trump

520
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: Force one. He was in a suit this time and

521
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: hard shoes and walked in and talked with Trump. So

522
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 4: he's he's got some business with Trump. He's been down

523
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: there a couple of times now there in recent weeks.

524
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: And then a different topic but kind of similar genre

525
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: is the whole TikTok thing that's going on right now

526
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 4: and the fallout from the oral arguments and the both

527
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 4: sides of whether or not TikTok gets banned. I listened

528
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: to a couple different legal podcasts about this. It's incredibly complicated.

529
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he got so far out into the weeds

530
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 4: of stuff that I don't understand. I didn't even know

531
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 4: where to start. So it's a long way from a

532
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: flat out free speech issue. It's a long way from

533
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 4: a flat out China's evil boot them out. It's so complicated.

534
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: But Mike Gallagher, congressman or former congressman, he stepped down.

535
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: He tweeted out.

536
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 4: TikTok essentially argued Friday that a qualified devestment is impossible

537
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: because the source code and engineering remains in China. That

538
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 4: pretty much proves the point. As long as TikTok and

539
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: byte Dance are beholden to the CCP, the national security

540
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: threat is too big to ignore.

541
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: But the legal how you deal with that is tough.

542
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Given God bless us, flowing beautifully from our last discussion,

543
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: Given our worship, worship are our incredible respect for the

544
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: First Amendment right.

545
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: But isn't it interesting that we ended up And that's

546
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: why I put these two together. We ended up in

547
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: a place where for years now, we've let the Communist

548
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 4: Chinese say whatever the hell they want about America or

549
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: foreign policy decisions to try to sway our young people

550
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 4: to believe America is in the wrong. Our own corporation

551
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: Facebook was being screamed at by our own government to

552
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: not allow facts to come out. Both of those things

553
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: happened at the same time. Communist party gets to say

554
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 4: whatever the hell they want. Nobody gets in the way.

555
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: You try to say something that's absolutely true in the

556
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: United States with an American born company and the government

557
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 4: stops you.

558
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 3: That's a troubling situation, it is.

559
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: And it's super interesting too, because the Communist Chinese had

560
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: the balls, I don't know, to object strenuously and loudly,

561
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: although they were not on the wrong side from the

562
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: view of the mainstream media, of Trump. Derangements like Facebook

563
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: would have been right, and that is and again you

564
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: will try to explain it to future generations. They will

565
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: not believe you. They will not believe that grown up

566
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: adults would become so childishly angry and against one human

567
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: being that they would deny things that were plainly true.

568
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: If the bad guy said they were false or childlessly

569
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: or true I'm sorry, if he said they were true.

570
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 4: Or childless, child childlessh hm like a child like in

571
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: favor of the same guy.

572
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: Either way, it ran through the Trump filter.

573
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: Is this good for my guy or bad for my guy,

574
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: depending on whether you hated him or loved him, And

575
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: then that colored everything for some reason for years and

576
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: years and years, and we got another several years of that.

577
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: Probably I would simply Safe help you with the looting

578
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: going on right now, maybe if your home hadn't burnt down. Certainly,

00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: if they're in your neighborhood, simply Safe could give you

Speaker 4: house and all the sensors and everything else.

00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: Crazy great discount right now, but keep in mind traditional

586
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: security systems only take action after someone has already broken in.

587
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: That's too late.

588
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: Simply Safe active guard outdoor protection helps prevent breakings before

589
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: they happen. They've got Ai powered cameras backed by live

00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,960

00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: My teenage crush, one of the first crushes of my life,

603
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: TV star was tweeting yesterday about Gavin Newsom and looting

604
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: and all that sort of stuff. Lef't talk about that

605
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: next hour when we get into that topic, She's on

606
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: our soile. I'm very happy that I chose wisely as

607
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: a teenagers an indignation mixing uncomfortably in Jack's inner cauldron.

608
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: Plus next hour, I can't wait to get to this functional,

609
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: functional definition of stupid that I found just super thoughtful folks.

610
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: And here's here's a tantalizing clue.

611
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: This author who I'm going to quote, believed essentially that

612
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: stupid occurs more or less consistently from the very simplest

613
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: people to PhDs.

614
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear this. I love this sort

615
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: of thing.

616
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 4: So we got all that coming up on the show

617
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 4: and Katie's headlines next. The fire does not discriminate. I

618
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: might be taking one of Katie's headlines. But the most

619
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: expensive home in the Palisades area burnt down, one hundred

620
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: and twenty five million dollar home ooh, that was used

621
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: in the succession TV series eighteen Bedrooms. They rented it

622
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: out if you want to rent it for four and

623
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars a month, completely burnt to the ground.

624
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: I only know like sixteen people, so I'd have to

625
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: give one of the the better histor of my dog,

626
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: I guess, and a number of the richer folks are

627
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,160
