00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and he

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty. We were talking about Tiger Woods and

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: how news came out that he had a couple of

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: hydro codones in his pocket when he rolled his vehicle

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: the other day. And I was saying, is that the

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: thing Rush Limbaugh was on? Doctor friend of mine texted

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: me oxy codone is what Rush was on. Oxy. I

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: didn't know this oxy is ten times stronger than hydro codone.

11
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: Now that you mentioned that, Yeah, Hydra's low the one

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: I had after.

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: So I didn't know that they weren't even close to

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: the same strength. I've had hydro codon. I think when

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: I had cancer I had to take one once, But

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever taken oxy. That's interesting. Remember

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: when I love the way we go, we swing so

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: far one direction on the other Remember when we had

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: six figures worth of people dying from these things because

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: pharmacies around the country were just giving them to anybody randomly,

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: and it was just it was just out of control. Well,

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: now we went so far the other direction. My son

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: is on one drug that could be addictive, and you

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: just cannot You can get thirty days at a time,

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: and you have to wait until the full thirty days

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: are up until you can get the next prescription. Can't

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: overlap by a day, and then sometimes they're busy and

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: you can't get it. And I'm Michael, what are you supposed

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: to do? You can't skip a day. But they just

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: got to strict rules because you could get addicted, and

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: just so unreasonably far the other direction, why can't we

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: manage things in any sensible way?

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: Government does two things, nothing and overreact.

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Correct. I remember you saying that many eight years ago,

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: and that is one hundred percent true. So I've been

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: complaining a lot about the media coverage of the war.

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: I think it's by far the biggest story in the world.

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: And like Sunday, I faced the nation. They didn't get

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: to it for eighteen minutes. To start face the nation,

40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: they talked about TSA lines, and they talked about shut down,

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: and they talked about some other thing I didn't care

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: about before they got to the war. Like seriously, John

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: Stewart on The Daily Show thinks it's ridiculous that the

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: media isn't getting to the war more often and treating

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: it with more seriousness. Also, his conclusion about the war

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: is different than mine, but the coverage he's got the

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: same point of view. What else is being blocked? It's

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: getting harder to get food that comes with pistachios.

49
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: You can't make to buy chocolate bars.

50
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: Oh no, what will our influencers stand in line to

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: pretend to.

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Eat to buy chocolate?

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 5: By god, that's been an American staple for tens of days.

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: I can't believe how the news has to.

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: Frame world events to try and make Americans care. The

56
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 5: whole region is being flattened. Innocent people are dying, They're

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: food and fuel are in total chaos, and our news

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: is like, if this goes on any longer, say goodbye

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 5: to your stuffed crust pizza.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I don't agree with his thought

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: on the war, but they do. They have to come

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: up with these gases expensive, So that's why you should

63
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: get there's a freaking war going on that could go

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: any direction at anymoy anyway. John Stewart goes on.

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 6: It turns out there is another key material being affected

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 6: by the war in Iran, fertilizer.

67
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: There could be helium shortages. Yes, the gas that is

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: used in party balloons.

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 7: What the fuck?

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 5: Halium is a fundamental gas used in the production of

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: advanced chip technology. You don't have to dumb it down

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: to make us. Oh, this war could be even bad

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 5: for your promposals.

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: Like, come on, I agree. Wow, that is shocking.

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: That is I mean, I thought I was cynical enough.

76
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: The same guess that's used to fillip party bella.

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, we know, ay, ay, we know, b that's

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: not the problem at all. Helium's incredibly important to high

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: tech production of chips at center as he mentioned.

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: Well, all those things he mentioned though, including to me

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: the price of gas. If chocolate bars go away and

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: gas gets way more expensive than we'd like. The war's

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: either a good idea, it's not. Let's discuss it on

84
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: the merits of being at war with another major country

85
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: or not.

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about the whole major malevolent power exporting jihad

87
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: around the world, killing more of our soldiers than any

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: other country. And I mean, we'll get to the chocolate

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: and the party balloons if you want to, But can

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: we take a look.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: At that picture first?

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: That is astonishingly I'd say it's condescending, but maybe they

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: just know where their viewers.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: Are trying desperately. I'm guessing that, and I'm surprised to

95
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: see Yes face the nation. That's barry wise. I'm sure

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: she cares about the war. Maybe they've got data that says, hey,

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: people just don't care.

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: Well. Either that or she just hasn't gotten to face

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: the nation because nobody watches it.

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: The we get several texts of oh my god, you

101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: guys are talking about Iran again. Ignore them because I

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: think it's a really, really important story. But some of

103
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: you feel that way.

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: Fine, good, great, some of them are dressing up as

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: furry animals and having sex.

106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: And maybe they need conversion therapy. Was my transition to

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: I know, I just I'm beyond helping Michael.

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: I may't need the paddles, go out to the lobby.

109
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: Might need thee get the paddles again already on Tuesday.

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: Usually we don't have to bring out to the paddles

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: till like Thursday or Friday. My will to live has

112
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: gone solo. I need Claire.

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: All right, here's the Oh my god, this is not

114
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: going to help me at all. The Supreme Court made

115
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: an absolutely fantastic ruling eight to one. I'll explain why

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: I'm struggling with this in a moment, saying that a

117
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: Christian counselor in Colorado who challenged a ban on mental

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: health counseling for either transgender confused kids or in some

119
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: cases gay kids or whatever, that you can't restrict that

120
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: for First Amendment reasons. It's the lost censor speech. Based

121
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: on viewpoint Justice gors trote in the majority opinion, Colorado

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: may regard its policies essential public health and safety. Certainly

123
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: cinsorious governments throughout history have believed the same, But the

124
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to

125
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: enforce orthodoxy and thought or speech in this country. Hagen

126
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: wrote a concurring opinion. She went at it a little

127
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: bit differently from a legal point of view.

128
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: It was eight to one.

129
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: Katanji Brown Marxist, was against, as she wrote, the only

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: descent her descent was longer than the court's opinion and

131
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: Kagan's concurrence combined.

132
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Wow, even the other liberal justices have to be rolling

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: their eyes at her behind the scenes, don't they, right?

134
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: And I scanned her reasoning and essentially and Oh my god,

135
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: you want to talk about a slippery slope. This is

136
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: this is you know, I don't know, one of those

137
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: old playground slides covered with k y jelly. I mean

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: it is a slippery slope.

139
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: She said.

140
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: Well, because the state has an interest in regulating medical professionals,

141
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: then they can regulate speech medical professionals. And like, oh,

142
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: for God's sake, the state regulates freaking everything at this point,

143
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: so barbers can be barred from, you know, speaking out

144
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: against democrats by your insane postmodernist reasoning. Anyway, here's the

145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: reason I was not completely enthusiastic about bringing you this story.

146
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I expected it out of the New

147
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: York Times. Upset closed for some reason.

148
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Here we go.

149
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court onto oh oh oh, sorry, you need

150
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: to know this. This case is about the gender bending madness,

151
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: especially for kids. These kids who are autistic, or they

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: are victims of sexual abuse, or they are merely misfits.

153
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: They want to be somebody else. They're not comfortable in

154
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: their own skin. They have the sort of ankst that

155
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: adolescents always always have, some more than others.

156
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: God bless them.

157
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: And as the dad of an autistic kid, I can

158
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: tell you that angst is suffocating. At times, these counselors say, hey,

159
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 3: before we start feeding you hormones or talk about surgeries

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: or transitioning, let's talk about what's going on in your life.

161
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: Let's talk about what going on in your heart and

162
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: mind for a while before we go down that road.

163
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: Would that be Okay?

164
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: That's what this counseling is, and it's being called conversion

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: counseling by the transgender activists because they want people to

166
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: think of that like fundamentalist religious thing where you would

167
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: tell a gay boy you can't be gay because that's

168
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: against God. Here's a woman get with a woman, you

169
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: can't be gay, when those are two very different things,

170
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: although they're both protected by the First Amendment. In my

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: mind or in my opinion. Okay, so that's what the

172
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: counseling is. Let's talk about what some of the other

173
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: problems might be in your life, and we'll get to

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: the transgender thing. Here's how it's characterized in the New

175
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: York Times. The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a

176
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: Christian therapist, rejecting a Colorado law that prohibited mental health

177
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: professionals from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender

178
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: identity of LGBTH minors. They characterize that caring patient actually

179
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: looking at the underlying problems is quote unquot vote trying

180
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: to change the sexual orientation of minors.

181
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: And then I look at the Wall Street Journal.

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a Christian counselor

183
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: who challenged the band blah blah blah on mental health

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: counseling that seeks to change young people's sexual orientation or

185
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: gender identity. The New York Times, written by Anne E. Merrimo,

186
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: who has a died in the world progressive in the

187
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal, handed this assignment over to James Rossimer,

188
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: who apparently is of the same ilk or. Because big

189
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 3: time journalists exist in a journalistic bubble too, you wouldn't

190
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: think they would.

191
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: That's what they think this is. They just don't know.

192
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: Colorado law targets what is colloquially known as conversion therapy. No,

193
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: it's called conversion therapy by transgender activists.

194
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: Change you, jackass. Do you call it conversion therapy? When

195
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: the teachers counselors at school are trying to convince your

196
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: little girl she's.

197
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 3: A boy and then tell her, let's not tell your parents.

198
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: They don't need to know about this. That's not conversion therapy.

199
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: Excellent point. Oh my god, only could justice Katanji Brown

200
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: Jackson dissented in this eight to on er. I mean,

201
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: for God's sakes, you'd think the journalists in the Wall

202
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: Street Journal in the New York Times would say, holy crap.

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Eight to one. Maybe I ought to look into this, right,

204
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: Why was it nearly unanimous? But no, I could see

205
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: you right in that headline. If it was a five

206
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: four you didn't agree with maybe, but it's eight one.

207
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: You gotta think, well, okay, I must be missing something

208
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: here if you have the point of view of your headline.

209
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 3: KJP warned of the broader implications for medical care. She

210
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: said could be catastrophic if states cannot regulate some kinds

211
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: of speech by licensed professionals.

212
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: And I quote this decision might.

213
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: Make speech only therapies and other medical treatments involving practitioner

214
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: speech effective unregulatable, she wrote, criticizing her eight colleagues for

215
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: having made quote this momentous decision without adequately grappling with

216
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: the potential long term and disastrous implications. Hey, I almost

217
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: said something disparaging.

218
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: Why would I do that? I'm a grown man.

219
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Justice Jackson, you don't get to regulate speech based

220
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: on what you perceive to be long term implications. You

221
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: fundamentally misunderstand the First Amendment. It exists to protect speech you.

222
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: Think will lead to people thinking the wrong thing. That's

223
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: why it exists.

224
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Well one won the right direction, Yeah it did. God,

225
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: you cannot hate the media enough.

226
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: End of rant. There is a mass exodus out of

227
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: La County, California, and generally but specific La County among

228
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: things we can talk about if you can stick around. Oh,

229
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: ratings out. Trump's got the lowest approval rating he's had

230
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: of this term. Is it because of the war? I

231
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: think it's the economy.

232
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: Well it's both, and the war is feeding into the economy,

233
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: Sure of course it is. And more later stay here.

234
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: The FBI says that that terror attack on the Detroit

235
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: Synagogue was inspired by Hesbelah, that their propaganda is believed

236
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: to be what fueled I'm in Mohammad Ghazzali to search

237
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: for quote, the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan to

238
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 4: purchase fireworks, approximately three hundred bullets, and an ar fifteen

239
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 4: sending a video to his sister just ten minutes before

240
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: the attack, saying he would quote kill as many of

241
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: them as I possibly can.

242
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: It's just luck that we still aren't as a country

243
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: talking about this every single day, because that guy went

244
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: in there and killed fifty little Jewish kids, that that

245
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: was his intent.

246
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: There is a candidate for the Senate in Michigan who

247
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: was I've got somewhere, Yeah, he said on a conference

248
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: call with his media people.

249
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: Look, I can't condemn that shooting.

250
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: It'd be dangerous for me because he's got to get

251
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: he's a Muslim and he wants the Muslim vote.

252
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: So we'll just if.

253
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: If anybody brings it up, I'm going to say Trump

254
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,119
Speaker 3: is just trying.

255
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: To distract from the Epstein files.

256
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: So here's a Muslim candidate who couldn't bring himself to

257
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: condemn the near mass murder of little children.

258
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: What does that tell you? And by the way, as

259
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: is pointed out often, that's what globalized the Intafada is

260
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: and we have college kids chanting that around the country

261
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: and we just let that go. I mean, you have

262
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: to let it go. It's free speech, but don't critique it. Really,

263
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: that's globalizing the into fada, right right. You know what

264
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can two stories this. Abdul l Sied

265
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: said he couldn't comment on.

266
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: The death of the Ayatol law because a lot of

267
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: people are sad, so I'll just change it to pedophile.

268
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: President decides he doesn't like the front page news and

269
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: there was a different story about a similar fellow, saying,

270
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: I can't condemn that. I gotta be careful. I'll bring

271
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: you the facts on that eventually. So saw the story

272
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: break yesterday, didn't read about it.

273
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: And it normally only matters if you drive around La

274
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: much or you're gonna be there on vacation. They're going

275
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: to build this twenty four billion dollars high speed tunnel

276
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: underneath the four H five Freeway that could change commutes

277
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: drastically around La from the way they've been for many,

278
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: many decades. Project will probably cost twice as much, three

279
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: times five times as much as supposed to and take

280
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: forever to finish, but it gets done, it could really

281
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: change LA traffic. Funny that that's happening at the same

282
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: time that the population is shrinking shrinking in La County,

283
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: though tens of thousands of residents are fleeing La County.

284
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: The region recorded the largest population drop of any in

285
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: the nation over the last year of US Census data.

286
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: About fifty four thousand residents left the county during that

287
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: one year period, continuation of a steady slide for the

288
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: biggest most populated county in America. Once home to more

289
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: than ten million people in twenty twenty, it's now nine

290
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: point seven million. Yellow's three hundred thousand people. Your commute's

291
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: gonna get better. Yeah, maybe I want to hold off

292
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: on that tunnel and see if with you just don't

293
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: need it anymore. So is it going to be like

294
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: an express tunnel just no entrances and exits. It's just

295
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: if you're going downtown, that sort of thing. I didn't

296
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: read up on it, but it's interesting that it'll probably

297
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: never exist. Like the bullet rain, you'd think there'd be

298
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: more attention paid to why is our population shrinking for

299
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: the first time ever? For the state of California and

300
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: for La County in particular Los Angeles, A thousand cops.

301
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.

302
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: I found the facts about that Michigan Democrat thing. I

303
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: will back up what I said. It sounded outrageous, didn't it.

304
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: It was true. Much more to come, including a fair

305
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: amount of humor, so stay tuned. If you can't stay tuned,

00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: She her Steve he him. So I heard you guys

315
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: moved back to California. Actually, is that true?

316
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 7: Oh?

317
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: We did. When we got there, squatters were in our

318
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: homes and by state law, we can't evict them for months,

319
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: so we moved back.

320
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 8: We had no real right to the house anyways, it

321
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 8: being on the traditional and unseated homelands of the Tongva,

322
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 8: Shumash and kitsch people's.

323
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: Huh, Well, we are about to eat, so we're going

324
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: to say a few works. Use acknowledgement, grace, I don't

325
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: get it, pray oh like the emoji?

326
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 7: All right, everybody, why don't you guys come on over.

327
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: Let's take care, take our hats off its bow, our heads.

328
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 7: Now, poor god, heavenly father or mother. We just pray

329
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 7: bless this meat we are about to eat in the

330
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 7: name of.

331
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: Jesus, who was a person of color. Everybody said, we're

332
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: going to say a few words before we eat. Oh

333
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: a land use acknowledgement. Oh my god, where did I

334
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: read one of those? Just yesterday? Where was I? Anyway?

335
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: And I was trained as lost its mind with that stuff.

336
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: I was screaming at this plaque. Yeah, who had it

337
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: before them?

338
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: I guarantee you somebody had it before this tribe you

339
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: just mentioned Garanteed and.

340
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: This tribe on the plaque probably took it by force,

341
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: or if they didn't, it's it's really immaterial anyway. So

342
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 3: what do you mean Canada has lost their mind on that? Oh,

343
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: the whole land acknowledgment thing, the whole wokeism thing. It

344
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: is still twenty twenty two in Canada, and maybe worse.

345
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk about that another time.

346
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: But although we do have some very amusing audio from

347
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: Canada's New Democratic Party, which is some ascendant lefty party

348
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: at their meeting. Hilarious more later.

349
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: So I know this makes me a pain in the ass,

350
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: and I'll keep this short, but just because it's I'm

351
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: looking up at CNN right now, gas hits four dollars

352
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: per gallon for the first time since twenty twenty two.

353
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: That is just flat out not true in reality because

354
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: of inflation. We've had so much inflation that four dollars

355
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: today is three fifty eight and twenty twenty two dollars

356
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: just twenty twenty two, not nineteen seventy. Yeah, yeah, nineteen

357
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: ninety two or any distance. No, just a couple of

358
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: years ago. So for it to hit four dollars for

359
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: the first time in twenty twenty two dollars, which you're

360
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: claiming it is, I mean, that's what you're stating. It's

361
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: got to get to four forty seven, which I think

362
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: it probably will in a couple of weeks. But you know,

363
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: it's it's just inaccurate, and it drives me crazy since

364
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: you're making a big deal out of Plus, everybody should

365
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: be aware of how much inflation we've had in the

366
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: last half dozen years.

367
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: You're jokingly referring to yourself as Captain Pedantic earlier, but no,

368
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: I think it's an excellent point. So not only is

369
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: the news item just misleading, it's fundamentally misleading. It also

370
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: papers over for reasons I can't imagine the insidious effects

371
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: of inflation and how government fiscal policy monetary policy causes inflation,

372
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: which is like a massive tax on your savings and

373
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: your pay.

374
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: You'd think people would want to know that he used,

375
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: he used to need an inflation calculator app or whatever.

376
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: But now all your all your chats can do it.

377
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: All your chat app thing, ease your your what are

378
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: they called ais, All your ais can do it. So

379
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 2: just do it. And this is depressing. It is depressing,

380
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: and I don't know when you're in the mood to

381
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: be depressed. Yeah, but it's it's disillusioning in a positive way.

382
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: It's informative. But like if you have in your mind

383
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: what a million dollars is based on, like I don't know,

384
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five, check and see what it is. Now,

385
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: just help help you realize what you've actually got in

386
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: your you know, the value of your home or your

387
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: four to one k or whatever.

388
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: Let's use the numbers just to keep it simple, like

389
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: the ones you're bandying about. So four dollars gasoline is actually.

390
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: What did you say? It is? Three fifty eight?

391
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So my four hundred thousand dollars in investments is

392
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 3: now worth three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars.

393
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: In four years.

394
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 3: It's worth declined that much because you know, I know,

395
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: and both parties are absolutely complicit, but mostly because of

396
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: the Biden gigantic trillions of dollars of infusiona currency during COVID.

397
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: They stole that money.

398
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: From you, and for whatever reason, journalists are too dumb

399
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: or incurious or ignorant or something to point that out

400
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: to you. It's just frustrating. I don't want to bring

401
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: everybody down. Oh my god, the next thing I was

402
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: about to do is even more depressing career. It'll change tack. Here,

403
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: got a couple of sports notes.

404
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: I want to get to maybe next segment, how the

405
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: whole robot umpire thing is going. Also, Lebron with another first.

406
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: He seems to have one like weekly in this his

407
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: last couple of months of his career.

408
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: Hey, here's a little on air meeting of us and

409
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 3: everybody listening. This is the sort of thing in the

410
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: modern world nobody wants, and yet probably because the lawyers,

411
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: nobody can do anything about. Here's this Orlando, Florida hospital,

412
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: got some woman in room three seventy three. She was

413
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: in the hospital for a medical treatment. Well, that's a

414
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 3: good reason to be admitted to a hospital as reasons go.

415
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: But anyway, on October the sixth, it was determined she

416
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: no longer needed acute care services and they told her

417
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 3: you're a discharge. You can go now, and she's like, no,

418
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: I'm not leaving.

419
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: I like it here. This was October of last year,

420
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: and they can't make her go. The hospital has repeatedly

421
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: made efforts to coordinate her departure with family members, offered transportation,

422
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: to obtain necessary identification whatever, and the lady ke said, no,

423
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 2: I like it here. I'm saying this is you're going

424
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 2: to keep feeding me and the rest of it.

425
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: And instead of heaving her out on her ass, having

426
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: a couple of big burly orderlies pick her up by

427
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: the elbows and dump her out the front door, they

428
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: feel like they can't do anything about it.

429
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: Wow, and that's costing somebody tens of thousands of dollars

430
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: a day, I would guess, well, especially because the lawyers

431
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: are now involved. The talent Hassi Memorial Healthcare.

432
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: Has now sued the patient, saying she's refused to work

433
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: her hospital room I can't last October.

434
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: I can't believe that there's not some sort of thing

435
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: you sign all that paperwork when you get in that

436
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: includes when we determine you're better, you gotta get.

437
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: Out well right right, And she says, yeah, I don't

438
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: have an attorney, I'm representing myself. And no, I'm not

439
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: going to sign those papers. No I'm not even gonna

440
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: even respond to them.

441
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: Ah.

442
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: According to a federal agency, hospitals can be investigated by

443
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: the FEDS for violations of treating patients when they need it.

444
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: The patient can be discharged when the clinicians have determined

445
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: any further care could be provided as an outpatient. Blah

446
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: blah blah. But there's nothing about it. And but if

447
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: she won't leave, you can eat her ass out. I'm

448
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: telling you. I realize its kind of a semi amusing story,

449
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: but that isn't that a symptoms being of.

450
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 2: Medical care of terrible dysfunction?

451
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: Well, and the joke in the Babylon b bit about well,

452
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 3: there's squatter's in our home and we can't get rid

453
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: of them for many months selling move back, Yeah, yeah,

454
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: I mustay all right, just to prove I didn't make

455
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 3: up something as incredibly outrageous as what I said. If

456
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: I lost it again here it is, hang on a

457
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: second stand bye. A Michigan Democrat campaigning for a US

458
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 3: Senate seat opened up about how it was a risk

459
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 3: for him to condemn the local attack on a synagogue

460
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: full of small children, but he did anyway. It was

461
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: a risk, he said. All of our team was really

462
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: worried about saying something. But leadership is willing to say

463
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: the thing if you believe it to be true that

464
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 3: nobody else is going to say.

465
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: So.

466
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: And Nelly Bowls of the Free Press makes a point

467
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 3: which is a nice point about leadership, I guess. But

468
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: can we go back to that part where everybody was

469
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: worried about condemning an attempted mass casualty event on children

470
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: to understand how fast the rhetoric has shifted toward mass

471
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 3: murder of American Jews. This is what counts as a

472
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: brave stance now, So this Mom Abdul al Sayad is

473
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: actually there's a very funny story about him too. He

474
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't comment on the death of the Ayatola because many

475
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: of his constituents or would be constituents were sad and

476
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: he felt like it was a real act of courage

477
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: to condemn a near mass casualty of little children because

478
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: he's a Muslim and his voters are Muslims. Folks, does

479
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 3: that not kind of wake you up a little bit

480
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: or make you think, wait a minute, wait a minute.

481
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 2: It's not a good place to be.

482
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: Oh, it's terrible. It's absolutely terrible. On a lighter note,

483
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 3: because everything's a lighter note, hundreds of protesters swarmed to

484
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 3: propose New York Men's homeless shelter site, physically blocking the

485
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: construction beginning. It's a pretty Asian neighborhood, and they say, no,

486
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 3: they're going to be all sorts of junkies and weirdos

487
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: and drunks and perverts around here, and we don't want

488
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: them in our neighborhood.

489
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: We'll do it wherever you want them, Donnie, but don't

490
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: do it here. Do we have more of the homeless

494
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: La LA's bums and junkies and trying to clear them out.

Speaker 6: drug use, stolen property, in what some describe as gang activity.

502
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Some of these gang members, you know, they carry backpacks

503
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: with tools and ghost guns and a lot of narcotics.

504
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: Dangerous very.

505
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,639

506
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: bums and bometts just.

507
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 6: Steps from a busy trail near Griffith Park. Dozens live

00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 6: in fourty fine shelters, tense and even storm drains with

509
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 6: murky water below. How long have you been out here?

511
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,480

Speaker 2: Yes, I've been offered housing.

516
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 7: Why not take those resources?

517
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: I did?

518
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 8: It's just right, It's just not for me, and I

519
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 8: just always come back out to this and I just

520
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:40,920

00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,440

527
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: and serious. That plucky, positive, agreeable attitude is how a

528
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: lot of women on the street avoid getting like beat up,

529
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: or or they get allies to help them not get

530
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: raped by being very friendly and agreeable.

531
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: It's a survival strategy. Oof.

532
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she's and and she didn't come off.

533
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: As like twenty years or twenty what as far as

534
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: I end or twenty.

535
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: Oh if you don't know who does? Uh yeah, yeah, craziness.

536
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: Let's hear the next clip.

537
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Sort of a place for people who have been forgotten

538
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: or who want.

539
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: To be heard.

540
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 7: Dirty sites. Many who use the trail have grown numb too.

541
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: You get used to it.

542
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, yeah, it's like seeing a gooser, like just

543
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 7: see something else.

544
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 6: Or don't want to talk about I'm just asking about

545
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 6: the homeless society, That's exactly.

546
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 7: I don't think that's a I don't want to.

547
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to comment on that. Why not? I mean,

548
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to.

549
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: They put on the blinders. Honestly, they look on their phones,

550
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: they focus on their work out on the bike. They

551
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with it because homelessness is everywhere.

552
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: Well, bums and junkies are everywhere.

553
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: I want to deal with that. I don't know how to,

554
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: but I want. I want to deal with I want

555
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: to get them out of there my tax money paid for. Yeah,

556
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: because I have a similar thing in my town. The

557
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: bike path that we got to ride our bikes passed

558
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: the homeless junkie. I hope you don't get.

559
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: Stabbed, right right. I see the description of this next clip,

560
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: and I'm intrigued. Go ahead, Michael.

561
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 6: And a statement to Fox eleven council member and mayoral

562
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 6: candidate Nitthie Rahman calls homelessness along the La River a

563
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 6: unique challenge, adding steep concrete slopes, culverts, and hard to

564
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: reach areas make these encamments among the most difficult to

565
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 6: address in the city. The only lasting solution is to

566
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: bring people inside, and we are pursuing that solution with urgency.

567
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: Boy, there was nonsense followed by bad policy in that

568
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: person's statement. Okay, see a need challenge because of the

569
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: steep culverts, it makes it harder to do what.

570
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: So got a couple of sports notes for you. And

571
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: then Katie's got a story about these bugs that are

572
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: going around a stinging people's eyeballs. Pardon me, their i

573
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: stinging bugs that are apparently a problem. So we got

574
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: that to stay here. So Lebron James the played more

575
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: NBA games than anybody ever, scored more points than anybody ever.

576
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: He's got all kinds of more than anybody ever for

577
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: a variety of reasons, how long he's played and how

578
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: good he is. But he had the first ever father's

579
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: son something the other day, because they've had a couple

580
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: of them assistant shot or alley oop or whatever. But

581
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: his son's playing on the Lakers and they which is

582
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: just amazing. Remember old producer Scott said that was what

583
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: was keeping Lebron hanging around, is he wanted to play

584
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: with his son on an NBA team and he is.

585
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: That's got to be a really weird feeling. Yeah, God

586
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: of fun. Unimaginable that anybody will ever do that again.

587
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean, because just the ages will be really hard

588
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: pull off and everything else. But Lakers are a three seed,

589
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: by the way, currently they want a tear in baseball

590
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: checking after the first week roughly of baseball. Still about

591
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the time the robot is right versus

592
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: the umpire, So it's averaging like two or three times

593
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: per game that people are trying this. Hey, I don't

594
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: think that was a ball. I think it was a

595
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: strike or vice versa. And it's about fifty to fifty.

596
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: So anything to conclude from that, I don't know. Iose,

597
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: I suppose you know, you can look at it two ways.

598
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: But those close calls where you thought the empire was wrong,

599
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: well half the time you were right, the ump was wrong.

600
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: And it's a lot harder to call balls and strikes

601
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: than you think it is.

602
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody does it. Yeah, and I

603
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: certainly don't know how anybody does it watching on TV.

604
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: I've never understood that. I don't have an eye for it.

605
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: But I've never stood sitting in the sands one hundred

606
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: yards away. Oh, I never hilarious.

607
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: Because, yeah, as an umpire buddy of mine has put it,

608
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: there's a reason we don't position the homeplate umpire fourteen

609
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: rows back one hundred yards that way.

610
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting. Uh.

611
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: And he also commented to umpires are expected to learn

612
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: a new strike zone without any visible references without any

613
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: training in the machine that Major League Baseball uses. The

614
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 3: measure has a calibration err and a measurement error, but

615
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: they hold the umpire to one tenth of an inch

616
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: for the accuracy of their ball strike decisions.

617
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like where it's going, but I guess

618
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: a lot of baseball purists do. So whatever Katie tell

619
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: us About the bugs that are eating people's eyeballs, All.

620
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 8: Right, right, The Mosquito invector controlled district says that the

621
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 8: San Gabriel Valley in California has see a surging population

622
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 8: of tiny eyeball biting flies.

623
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: Well, this won't haunt my dreams, they said, just a

624
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: new flyers.

625
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: It always been around. Now, it's been around.

626
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 8: But last year at this time, guys fly traps for

627
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 8: these little guys, we're catching just in the single digits.

628
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 8: This year, the number of these flies cut has been

629
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 8: in the hundreds.

630
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: Oh, they bite your eyeballs specifically.

631
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're saying, apparently it's because of the unusually warm

632
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 8: weather from earlier this month. But the tiny black flies

633
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 8: common in the foothills are so small they're actually hard

634
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 8: to see. They are known to bite people's eyeballs and necks.

635
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 2: My neck is fine, but eyeball does it hurt? I can't.

636
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 8: I'm agree good not seasoned in being bitten in the eyeball, Jackson.

637
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: This is a biblical plague. I mean clearly, it's probably

638
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: because all the sodomy gotta be the sodomy.

639
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: Gavin Newson's gonna have to answer for this eyeball eating

640
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,400
