When you deal 29 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 4: with all the mining and then the slave labor that 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 4: it takes to mine it. What are you going to 31 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: do with the batteries that the pollution made by acquiring 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: the things that go into an electric car. Jack You've 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: brought up the fact that they're so damn heavy they 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: wear out roads faster. 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 6: They go through tires. Really, I don't know how you 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 6: measure tires against the environment. The number of tires I've 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 6: put on my Tesla outnumbers like all my vehicle tires 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 6: for the last twenty years. 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 4: I think, bingo, gringo. That's exactly where I was going. 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 4: And here's the thing. We've been talking on and off 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 4: once in a while about microplastics in the environment, and 42 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: this is all going to come together. Trust me on this. 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 4: It's not like I've charted it out, So it might 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 4: be a bit of a wandering path through the rhetorical woods. 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 4: Enjoy the scenery. 46 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 6: It's the weave. 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 4: It's the yeah, yeah, it's not that I'm just coming 48 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: off like half cocked. It's it the weave. So here's 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: the deal. Couple of things. I realized at some point 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: in the last few years that if I drink more 51 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: than I should on a given evening, among the things 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 4: that will plague me have a fun day depends sometimes fun. 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: Sometimes just had another one because I felt like having 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: another one interesting, and it wasn't more fun. I was 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: just drunker anyway. But it became clear to me, and 56 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 4: I looked this up and did a bunch of reading 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: about it, and it turns out it's a well known 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: medical phenomenon that that excess alcohol consumption can lead to 59 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: excess production of cortisol, which is a fight or flight chemical. 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: And in me, what I noticed was real feelings of 61 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: anxiety or something was wrong, or that I wasn't just 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: sluggish and hungover a little bit. That I wouldn't call 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: it paranoia because it didn't get that far, but it 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: was absolutely a feeling of anxiety that I never ever 65 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: have unless I've overindulged. And then I was thinking about 66 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: if you know anybody who's ever and I don't mean 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: this in any sort of demeaning way. And I wish 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: Katie was here to mock me. But if anybody's ever 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: lived with a woman, raised girls the rest of it, 70 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 4: you understand that hormonal changes can cause serious changes in 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: a person's ability to take in the world emotionally, get 72 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 4: out and deal with it. Yeah, I know, I know. 73 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: Wait what And it's absolutely undisputable biologically speaking that there 74 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: are things there's always a better word than things. There 75 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 4: are substances be they gas, liquid particles, whatever, in our 76 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: environment that have the ability to change our production of 77 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: various hormones. I mean everything from microplastics to like obesity 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 4: lowers testosterone, it lowers in both sexes, it lowers the 79 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: desire to reproduce the rest of it. 80 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 6: What would I be like if it weren't for microplastics 81 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 6: and beyond control, Well. 82 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: You might be cheerious. Heck, you might be the life 83 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: of the party. Anyway, I believe that the whole smartphone 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: thing stirring, the phone's lack of connectedness with human beings 85 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 4: is probably the number one factor in young people being 86 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: so depressed and anxious and disconnected and suicidal and the 87 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: rest of it. Sure, I'll sign on to that, But 88 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 4: I would also that every dime I've ever made, and 89 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: every dime my family is ever going to make for 90 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: the next hundred years on the fact that at some point, 91 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: fairly soon, we're going to realize that, oh, this which 92 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: is like omnipresent in the environment, now, this particle or 93 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: whatever is absolutely part of the rise in depressed and anxiety. 94 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 4: It's got to be. Once you realize how delicate hormone 95 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: production is and how strongly hormone production influences mood and 96 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: mental health, it can't be anything else. That's got to 97 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 4: be true. 98 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 6: Boy, how heartbreaking will that be good information to have 99 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 6: for the next crowd of people coming along? 100 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: Right? At least? 101 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 6: So heartbreaking to find out all this is why my kid, 102 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 6: my uncle, my mom, whoever's dealing with all this is 103 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 6: the plastic we put around sliced cheese or whatever it. 104 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: Turns whatever, sure, right, Yeah, it reminds me of some 105 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: of the realities that came about about fetal alcohol syndrome 106 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 4: and smoking during pregnancy, and polidomide and some of the 107 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: other drugs of the sixties that were touted as a 108 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 4: great idea. Everybody thought they were a great idea, but 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 4: they had terrible effects that you know, at least I 110 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: almost said, nobody suspected, but at least very few people suspected. 111 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 6: Wow Dylan movie. The other night, Henry said, did people 112 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 6: really smoke that much? I said, yeah, because everybody's smoking 113 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 6: all the time in that movie. I haven't seen it 114 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 6: smoking his movie. That's smoking, and I don't know how long, 115 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 6: but yeah, everybody did. And doctors were telling him it 116 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 6: was good for him. 117 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so true. Anyway, I just I wish we 118 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 4: could get to the bottom of it, and I wish 119 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: there was a Space race style effort, whether the federal 120 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 4: government or whoever else, to answer these questions. It ought 121 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: to be the only question worth thinking about. Movie. 122 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 6: Certainly number one movie Popcorn Butter.

And for all of his 213 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: talk about follow the science and his that he won't 214 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: interfere with those of us who want to vaccinate his kids, 215 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: the bottom line is the same. Kennedy can kill off 216 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: access to vaccines and make millions of dollars while he 217 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: does it. 218 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 4: Kids might die, but Robert. 219 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: Kennedy can keep cashing in the Senator. 220 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 7: I support vaccines, will I support the childhood schedule? 221 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: I will do that. 222 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 7: The only thing I want is good science, and that's it. 223 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 6: First of all, I heard a noise there that I 224 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 6: thought he was working up a Hawker to blow on 225 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 6: Elizabeth Warren. 226 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: I don't know what that sound was. He's going to 227 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 4: get a hatchet, he does. 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: How odd again that this whole conversation's got twisted on 229 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 6: its head as Elizabeth Warren's crowd has been the vaccines 230 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 6: or evil crowd my entire life up until COVID. Now 231 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 6: it's right wingers who want to do with way with vaccines. 232 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 6: So it all got flipped on its head. My son's 233 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 6: getting his t DAP today, I think, so he can 234 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 6: take a class an independent studied school. Those aren't going away. 235 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 6: I mean, you can claim that these childhood vaccinations that 236 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 6: all our kids got are going away, but they aren't. 237 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 6: I don't think so. I'm not worried about it, are you? 238 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: I was struck by. We've received several emails people pointing 239 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 4: out how many more there are now than there were 240 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 4: when my kids were little. And my oldest kid is 241 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: what thirty two going to be thirty three? This right? 242 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 6: So I guess this is somewhat odd. Bernie Sanders is 243 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 6: now questioning RFK Junior. 244 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 8: Now you're coming before this committee and you say you're 245 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 8: pro vaccine, just want to ask some questions, and yet 246 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 8: your organization is making money selling a child's product to 247 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 8: parents for twenty six bucks, which cast fundamental out on 248 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 8: you on the usefulness of vaccines. Can you tell us 249 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 8: now that you will, now that you are pro vaccine, 250 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 8: that you're going to have your organization take these products 251 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 8: off the market? 252 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: Senator, I have no power over that organization. Not you've 253 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 4: heard of it. Resigned from the board. 254 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 8: I was just a few months ago you founded that. 255 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 4: You certainly have power you can make that.

Well, I want good science 263 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 7: and I want to protect But you will not tell. 264 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 8: The organization you founded not to continue by selling that product. 265 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: Thank you, Miss Jim. 266 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: Now they have velcrow in the cross. What's wrong with snaps? 267 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 5: Snaps have been good enough for previous generations. 268 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 6: I wanted to hear him say onesie again, Will well 269 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 6: you stop selling these onesies? So what's the onesie RFK 270 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 6: Junior sells that is anti vax Is it having a 271 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 6: clogan on it? 272 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 4: Or oh, yeah, I'm sure it does. 273 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll have to google that. 274 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: No vax is for me, I'm a healthy baby, or whatever. 275 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: Who freaking knows, gotcha. RFK Junior's deal is he makes 276 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: zillions of dollars on class action lawsuits, including against pharmaceutical companies, 277 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: and he wants to weaken the protections for them, and 278 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 4: he will make lots and lots of money. It also 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 4: could be suggested by people of good conscience that the 280 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: protections are too strong and too much and they ought 281 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 4: to be re examined. 282 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 6: Well. So he's currently being questioned on his abortion stance 283 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 6: by Democrats because he is a lifelong pro choice guy 284 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 6: up until. 285 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 4: You know the very end. 286 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 6: And as CNN sat up there, RFK Junior says he 287 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 6: will follow the guidance of President Trump. That's really the 288 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 6: where the rubber meets the road on most of these nominees, 289 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 6: isn't it. They're going to fulfill the wishes of President 290 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 6: Trump or they won't get to stay in the job. 291 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: Correct. Yeah, So I. 292 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 6: Guess that's why I don't get as worried about it. 293 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, those questions ought to be coming from conservatives, from Republicans, 294 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: because Trump is essentially moderate pro life, clearly his whole life. 295 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 4: His recent statements make it clear that that's his thing. 296 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 4: And RFK Junior has been like way out their lefty 297 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 4: pro abortion up until the last second. I mean, the 298 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 4: kid was like ready to be born, which is abhorrent. 299 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: It's infanticide. So I am a little concerned about that 300 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: which way that goes, although I don't think that either 301 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 4: one of them is an activist on the topic. Are 302 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: you supportive of these onesies? 303 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 6: Are you supportive of these onesies? You put your feet 304 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 6: at them, you pull them up on your knees them up. 305 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 6: It is one piece of clothing that satisfies the needs 306 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 6: of your entire baby. 307 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 4: Are you in favor of this or not? 308 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 6: I wish I was wearing a onesie right now. I'm 309 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 6: surprised that they haven't caught on as the modern clothing. 310 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 6: We should all be wearing onesies. 311 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 4: Wow. Wow, too difficult to get to to get into. 312 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 6: Will you come up with a flap or a slot 313 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 6: or something, depending on your your gender? 314 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 4: With this weekend, Armstrong and Getty? What top? 315 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 6: How's your life? 316 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 4: How are things going? I'm good, glad to hear it, 317 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 4: glad to hear it. That's good, really good, just super 318 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 4: thanks for asking. According to who is this bloke Christopher 319 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 4: Caldwell at The Free Press, Trump's recent chucking out of 320 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: affirmative action is the biggest policy change of the century. 321 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 6: That's funny that he said that, you bring that up. 322 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 6: I don't know if you listened to last week's National 323 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 6: Review podcast, but Rich Lowry kept saying, guy runs National Review. 324 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 6: People have not grasped how huge this is. This is 325 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 6: one of the biggest things that's happened in my lifetime. 326 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 4: Partly because it reinstates the original intent of virtually all 327 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 4: of our civil rights laws, the really foundational ones, like 328 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: the Civil Rights Act in nineteen sixty four. It reminds 329 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 4: us all with utter clarity, and it's shocking that this 330 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 4: was ever lost. The idea is, you can't discriminate based 331 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 4: on race, period, not unless it's white people, or not 332 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 4: unless it makes you feel good, or unless you think 333 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 4: it's really important or it'll accomplish some other good. No, 334 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: we as a society realized it's a lot like censorship 335 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 4: or a lot of other things. There aren't any human 336 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 4: beings who are so wise and wonderful that you can 337 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: bestow such a power on them. None. In any circumstance, 338 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 4: We're done with it. I remember that guy. 339 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 6: We used to have on in California, Ward Connory, back 340 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: in the day. Sure, yeah, he was a black gentleman 341 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 6: who was arguing hard to try to do away with 342 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 6: racial preferences in California, and his argument was always you 343 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 6: can make the argument that at the time, in nineteen 344 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 6: sixty four, and I'm in the middle of the latest 345 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 6: Martin Luther King biography, it's just it's unbelievable that in 346 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 6: my lifetime black people, any race were denied the opportunity 347 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 6: the pursuit of happiness in the United States the way 348 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 6: they were. I mean, absolutely unbelievable. You couldn't get jobs, 349 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 6: you couldn't stay at a hotel, you couldn't drink out 350 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 6: of that water fountain. He had to stand up on 351 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 6: the bus. I mean, it's just incredible that that was 352 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 6: going on in the United States America. But anyway, the 353 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 6: point being, you can make the argument that coming out 354 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 6: of that, you needed some sort of forcing mechanism to 355 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 6: make certain organizations higher enough black people or it was 356 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 6: just never going to happen. But that was a long 357 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 6: time ago, and it's very difficult to make that argument now. 358 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 6: And as John Roberts said in the latest Supreme Court decision, 359 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 6: as I mentioned yesterday, John Roberts said, the best way 360 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 6: to end racism is to end racism racial preference. 361 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: Stop it right right, and don't let me forget to 362 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 4: get back to the idea of affirmative action. But the 363 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: free press rights rip affirmative action. But that's only part 364 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 4: of the story. A curious element of Trump's third Executive 365 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: Order is its invocation of the President's Solemn duty. That's 366 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 4: a quote to enforce longstanding federal civil rights laws and 367 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: mentions the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. And 368 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 4: they point out this is not a concession, it's a threat. 369 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: While the Civil Rights Act mentioned affirmative action, and we'll 370 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 4: get back to that in a second, it attached no 371 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 4: specific meaning to the term, and the law was resolutely colorblind. 372 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 4: Affirmative action programs, with their differing treatments of race, are 373 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: intension with it, at least I'd say they're in open 374 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 4: definance of it. But DEI programs, many of which scapegoat 375 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: white people, are even more so. It is Trump's assertion 376 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 4: the DEI programs quote violate the text and spirit of 377 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 4: our long standing federal civil rights laws. He's absolutely correct. 378 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 4: Trump is doing more than reforming the public sector. He 379 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: is signaling to the private sector that certain kinds of 380 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: programs are liable to prosecution, even asking each federal agency 381 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: to name up to nine large private sector or organizations 382 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 4: that might be engaged in discrimination. In other words, this 383 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: perversion of the nineteen sixty four civil rights law, which 384 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 4: and again I will tip my Captain Rich Lowry, who 385 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: talked about this a little bit. The federal government has 386 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 4: fairly limited resources and ability to enforce discrimination in private enterprise, 387 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 4: just because it doesn't have like a police force in 388 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 4: every office in America. But it can, through its laws 389 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 4: and regulation of private enterprise, change the culture in that 390 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: Ford Motor Company just to pick something out of the air. 391 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 4: There's no reason to pick them specifically if they make 392 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 4: it clear that whether in your federal contracting, which is 393 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 4: an enormous part of so many companies bottom line, or 394 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 4: just in your day to day operation, if we find 395 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 4: you in violation of federal civil rights laws, we will 396 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 4: bring you to your knees. And because every corporation in 397 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 4: America goes along with that stuff just because they have 398 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: to to be careful and you know, avoid lawsuits and 399 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 4: the rest of it. It changes the culture and people 400 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 4: get the idea, well everybody agrees with this because everywhere 401 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 4: I go, everybody's enforcing this. But the problem was the 402 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 4: civil rights that got perverted into the new DEI thing, 403 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 4: and everybody's just started to think, Oh, everybody thinks teaching 404 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 4: white fragility and all white people are racists and all 405 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 4: everybody must think that because everywhere I go companies are 406 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 4: teaching this and enforcing it. No, it's just because those 407 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 4: companies were terrified of the Obama and or Biden administration. 408 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 409 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 6: I don't understand, especially coming out of Mlka's federal Holiday 410 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 6: where his maybe most famous phrase from the I Have 411 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 6: a Dream speech is you know, I envision a day 412 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 6: where people are judged by the content of their character, 413 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 6: not the color of their skin. I don't understand how 414 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 6: we haven't had to have a conversation around how does 415 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 6: that fit in with Ebramex Kennedy who says you absolutely 416 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 6: judge people by the color of their skin and that's 417 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 6: all the time, way from birth, they're bad because their 418 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 6: skin is this color. How does that we not put 419 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 6: those two things together and discussed how does this fit? 420 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 4: Because it doesn't fit? And I think if Americans hadn't 421 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: been bullied into silence, we could have reasonably asked, Hey, 422 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 4: you either square that those two things, or be quiet 423 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 4: and go away if you can't explain that paradox, be 424 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 4: quiet anyway. They go on to write, excuse me, I 425 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 4: sound like RFK Junior. There can be little doubt of 426 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: the general effectiveness of such methods. In twenty twenty and 427 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, as excuse me, civil rights regulators in 428 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 4: the Biden administration rallied behind it. DEI went from the 429 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 4: hobby of a handful of quirky CEOs to the unanimous 430 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: policy of corporate America. Today, the rush in the opposite 431 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: direction is just as precipitous. Among the new foes of 432 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 4: DEI or some of its erstwhile champions, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta 433 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 4: Walmarts and even Target, home of the Tuck friendly bathing suit. 434 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: More will follow. 435 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, God dang it, the election was too close given 436 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 6: some of the states with some of these issues like 437 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 6: this one. 438 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 4: And just one more final point, there are a few 439 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 4: things we could do better than read this entire essay 440 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 4: by Coleman Hughes, the brilliant black scholar who is staunchly 441 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 4: anti DEI, anti Ibram, X Candy and all that crap, 442 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 4: because he understod he's a wise man. In fact, he 443 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: just published last year, almost exactly years ago, a year ago, 444 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: the book The End of Race Politics, Arguments for a 445 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 4: Color Blind America. He is also a great student and 446 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 4: writer about history. And one thing that's I found just 447 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 4: really really interesting is he's talking about Trump's recent executive 448 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 4: orders ending DEI the rest of it. He says, the 449 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 4: most controversial part of this executive order is that it 450 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 4: repeals the storied sixty year old Executive Order eleven two 451 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: four six signed by LBJ in nineteen sixty five. Johnson's 452 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 4: original order mandated that government quote the government contractors quote, 453 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 4: take affirmative action to ensure that employees are hired. This 454 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 4: is the only use of the term affirmative action in 455 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 4: the actual law. They take affirmative action to ensure that 456 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 4: employees are hired without regard to their race, color, religion, 457 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 4: or national origin. So once again the Left, which are 458 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 4: absolutely brilliant at the ju jitsu of manipulating language and 459 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 4: changing it, took a phrase that specifically said don't look 460 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 4: at race, and they changed it and told you all 461 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 4: and us that know that phrase in the nineteen sixty 462 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 4: four Civil Rights Act that meant you should absolutely look 463 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: at everybody's race and hire them or not hire them 464 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 4: based on it. Yes, that's what it meant. 465 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 6: Uh, How the hell is that not more discussed? 466 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. Then he gets into 467 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 4: it again. This is just a historical curiosity. This is 468 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: not an effort to win any sort of argument. I 469 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 4: just love this sort of thing. He points out that 470 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 4: Richard Nixon was one of the great like liberals of 471 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 4: all time. Yeah. A lot of people make that argument. 472 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Yeah, he grew all sorts of lefty plans 473 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 4: and quotas. He was big into quotas and funeracial quotas, 474 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 4: among other. 475 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 6: Things, a lot of environmental regulations. 476 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't blame him for that stuff so much 477 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 4: because that kind of burgoned out of control. Again, I'm 478 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: not sure he's to blame for all of that stuff, 479 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 4: because the environmental situation in the early seventies was a nightmare. 480 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 8: No. 481 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 6: I hate fish, I hate clean water. 482 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 4: Wow, And I know, I tell you what days Michael 483 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: will tell you this days because on clear days you 484 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: can see beautiful mountain ranges in both directions from the radio. 485 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 4: Rang maddening. That's like one day out of fish. But yeah, 486 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 4: those days to look out for Jack because oh he's raging. 487 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 4: Look at those stupid mountains with their ugly snow caps. 488 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 4: Somebody out of bull doze. No, it's it's the environmental 489 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: thing has gotten a lot better. But boy, has our 490 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 4: racial stuff gotten out of control. And it's a shame too, 491 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: because we've made enormous progress as a society. 492 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 6: For some reason, I'm thinking of the Kanye West lyric 493 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 6: where he's basically in one of his songs, lots of 494 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 6: his songs, talking about how black culture has fallen too 495 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 6: much for the importance of buying stuff like clothes, watches, cars, 496 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 6: you know, that being the meaning of your existence and 497 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 6: everything like that, where he says I'm like a fly 498 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 6: Malcolm X by any genes necessary, which I think is 499 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 6: very clever. 500 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 4: Line.

We 508 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 6: were actually talking about this topic earlier in the show. 509 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 6: RFK Junior getting grilled in his confirmation process today to 510 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 6: see if he's going to be Secretary of HHS Health 511 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 6: and Human Services. 512 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 7: I had eleven brothers and sisters. I had dozens of 513 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 7: first cousins. I was raised in a time who we 514 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 7: did not have a chronic disease epidemic on. My uncle 515 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 7: was president two percent of American kids at chronic disease. 516 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 7: Today he's sixty six percent have chronic disease. You spend 517 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 7: a zero on chronic disease during the Kennedy administration. Today 518 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 7: we spend four point three trillion dollars a year with 519 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 7: seventy seven percent of our kids cannot qualify for military service. 520 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 7: When I was a kid, the typical pediatrician was the 521 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 7: one case of diabetes and his or her lifetime for 522 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 7: forty or fifty year career. Today, one out of every 523 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 7: three kids who walks through his her office door, is 524 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 7: diabetic or pre diabetic. 525 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, some of the stats, And I mean I don't 526 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 6: even need stats just looking around me in my own 527 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 6: personal life experience, things that were unheard of are incredibly 528 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 6: common now. 529 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 4: And what's especially crazy about that is our knowledge of 530 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 4: health and nutrition and exercise and a dozen other ships 531 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 4: are so much more sophisticated than they were at the time. 532 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 6: And the ability to identify problems way better than it 533 00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 6: was in the sixties. 534 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, some of it. 535 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 6: People would say, well, you had kids that had that, 536 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 6: but they just thought they were quirky. Okay, I've heard 537 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 6: that sort of thing. I've made that argument. But like 538 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 6: I know plenty of people, including me, you have kids. 539 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 6: It ain't just quirky. They got something wrong with them, 540 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 6: caused by something that ain't their fault in our environment 541 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 6: or who knows what, but its it exists. 542 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. And whether you love RFK or 543 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 4: hate them or like a lot of us are a 544 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: little ambivalent and confused. I like the fact that we're 545 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 4: having this discussion. Yeah, when Vivek Mrthy was being considered 546 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 4: for Surgeon General or whoever was doing HHS under Biden, 547 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 4: were we having this conversation. I don't I don't remember it. 548 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 6: Right, You've been making the point that you don't have 549 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 6: to jump to therefore URFK Junior should be confirmed. But yeah, 550 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 6: how this isn't like the top couple of discussions we 551 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 6: have constantly. Why why is everybody got one K that 552 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 6: needs to be on medicine? 553 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 4: Frustrating? 554 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 6: And why it has to be political? Why does it 555 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 6: have to fall into the camp of politics? Which side 556 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 6: am I supposed to be on this? 557 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 4: No? 558 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 6: No, don't put this in. 559 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: That category, right right, that's the danger of politics being everything. 560 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 4: Identifying ourselves, I mean literally our self identity. Who am I? Well, 561 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: I'm a conservative. I mean that's fine, I am staunchly so, 562 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 4: but I'm a Republican. That if that's third or fourth 563 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 4: or fifth on your list of who you are, I 564 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: think that's probably healthier. 565 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 6: I heard from a guy the other day. He's probably 566 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 6: fifty or something like, I don't know how old he is, 567 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 6: but he's talking about being ADHD and he was diagnosed, like, 568 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 6: I don't know, in his twenties or something like that, 569 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 6: and he's put on a medication for it, and then 570 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 6: he had to take a different medication to fix something 571 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 6: that that medication cost, and then you got another medication 572 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 6: and just how it just and I've lived that myself 573 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 6: and our own family.
