WEBVTT - What's Wrong With Snaps? 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.800 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty. 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:16.880 Arm Strong and Katty I know he Armstrong and Leddy. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:25.239 Illinois Governor j. 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.560 Pritzker says he'll stand in the way of deportations that 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.920 he feels break Illinois law. He also says he'll stand 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.479 in the way of anyone who tries to cut in 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:36.599 front of him at Sizzler. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:39.240 That's a fat joke. 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:45.280 He's a big fat guy. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:53.519 Wow wow, you know the fit young Gutfeld Eastern media elite. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.240 I ought to resent that, but I despise JB. Pritzker. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:58.920 I think he's one of the most evil people on 0:00:58.960 --> 0:00:59.360 the scene. 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.640 Speaking of eating in obesity, A lot of the questions 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.679 are about that with RFK Junior today as he attempts 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.479 to be confirmed as Secretary of the HHS. And we'll 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.400 have some of the highlights. Oh, we got into it 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.640 with squad Elizabeth Warren and we'll play that for you 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.040 coming up. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:19.679 Oh, that was politically incorrect. Whether JFK is a savior 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.120 or a con man, or some combination of all of 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.679 the above, or something like that. We're having conversations we 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.680 ought to be having, I'll give him that, speaking of 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.360 which occurred to me in an odd way last hour. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.560 It reminded me of something I was thinking about when 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.319 we were talking about how electric vehicles their net impact 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.480 to the environment is far from clear. When you deal 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.960 with all the mining and then the slave labor that 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.160 it takes to mine it. What are you going to 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.600 do with the batteries that the pollution made by acquiring 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.200 the things that go into an electric car. Jack You've 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.360 brought up the fact that they're so damn heavy they 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.640 wear out roads faster. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.920 They go through tires. Really, I don't know how you 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.280 measure tires against the environment. The number of tires I've 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:09.480 put on my Tesla outnumbers like all my vehicle tires 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.000 for the last twenty years. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.360 I think, bingo, gringo. That's exactly where I was going. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.359 And here's the thing. We've been talking on and off 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.679 once in a while about microplastics in the environment, and 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.800 this is all going to come together. Trust me on this. 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.160 It's not like I've charted it out, So it might 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.640 be a bit of a wandering path through the rhetorical woods. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.639 Enjoy the scenery. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:31.480 It's the weave. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.240 It's the yeah, yeah, it's not that I'm just coming 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.680 off like half cocked. It's it the weave. So here's 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:45.480 the deal. Couple of things. I realized at some point 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.040 in the last few years that if I drink more 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.360 than I should on a given evening, among the things 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:57.920 that will plague me have a fun day depends sometimes fun. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.560 Sometimes just had another one because I felt like having 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.720 another one interesting, and it wasn't more fun. I was 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.840 just drunker anyway. But it became clear to me, and 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.799 I looked this up and did a bunch of reading 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.880 about it, and it turns out it's a well known 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.680 medical phenomenon that that excess alcohol consumption can lead to 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:24.440 excess production of cortisol, which is a fight or flight chemical. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.440 And in me, what I noticed was real feelings of 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.720 anxiety or something was wrong, or that I wasn't just 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.400 sluggish and hungover a little bit. That I wouldn't call 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.840 it paranoia because it didn't get that far, but it 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.520 was absolutely a feeling of anxiety that I never ever 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.400 have unless I've overindulged. And then I was thinking about 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.000 if you know anybody who's ever and I don't mean 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.800 this in any sort of demeaning way. And I wish 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.560 Katie was here to mock me. But if anybody's ever 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.600 lived with a woman, raised girls the rest of it, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.360 you understand that hormonal changes can cause serious changes in 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.840 a person's ability to take in the world emotionally, get 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.880 out and deal with it. Yeah, I know, I know. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:17.640 Wait what And it's absolutely undisputable biologically speaking that there 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:23.880 are things there's always a better word than things. There 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.840 are substances be they gas, liquid particles, whatever, in our 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.680 environment that have the ability to change our production of 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.680 various hormones. I mean everything from microplastics to like obesity 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.159 lowers testosterone, it lowers in both sexes, it lowers the 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.960 desire to reproduce the rest of it. 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.000 What would I be like if it weren't for microplastics 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.799 and beyond control, Well. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.520 You might be cheerious. Heck, you might be the life 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.440 of the party. Anyway, I believe that the whole smartphone 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.320 thing stirring, the phone's lack of connectedness with human beings 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.479 is probably the number one factor in young people being 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.200 so depressed and anxious and disconnected and suicidal and the 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.000 rest of it. Sure, I'll sign on to that, But 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.520 I would also that every dime I've ever made, and 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.520 every dime my family is ever going to make for 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.520 the next hundred years on the fact that at some point, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:25.200 fairly soon, we're going to realize that, oh, this which 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.640 is like omnipresent in the environment, now, this particle or 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.760 whatever is absolutely part of the rise in depressed and anxiety. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.359 It's got to be. Once you realize how delicate hormone 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:44.600 production is and how strongly hormone production influences mood and 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.839 mental health, it can't be anything else. That's got to 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:49.359 be true. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.960 Boy, how heartbreaking will that be good information to have 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.640 for the next crowd of people coming along? 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:56.640 Right? At least? 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.920 So heartbreaking to find out all this is why my kid, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.920 my uncle, my mom, whoever's dealing with all this is 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.800 the plastic we put around sliced cheese or whatever it. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.640 Turns whatever, sure, right, Yeah, it reminds me of some 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.680 of the realities that came about about fetal alcohol syndrome 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.360 and smoking during pregnancy, and polidomide and some of the 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.960 other drugs of the sixties that were touted as a 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.919 great idea. Everybody thought they were a great idea, but 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.919 they had terrible effects that you know, at least I 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.200 almost said, nobody suspected, but at least very few people suspected. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:34.440 Wow Dylan movie. The other night, Henry said, did people 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.960 really smoke that much? I said, yeah, because everybody's smoking 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.320 all the time in that movie. I haven't seen it 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.000 smoking his movie. That's smoking, and I don't know how long, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.320 but yeah, everybody did. And doctors were telling him it 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:47.920 was good for him. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:54.039 Yeah, yeah, so true. Anyway, I just I wish we 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.919 could get to the bottom of it, and I wish 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.440 there was a Space race style effort, whether the federal 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.680 government or whoever else, to answer these questions. It ought 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.320 to be the only question worth thinking about. Movie. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.000 Certainly number one movie Popcorn Butter. That's what I'm putting 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:10.400 my money on. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.120 So fabulous and so indefensible. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:21.400 So nothing like butter, but delicious, but fabulous. It's like 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.200 McDonald's hamburgers. You show me another hamburger that tastes anything 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.600 like that. No, if you're blindfolded and he gave it 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.280 to somebody, if you mushed it up and he didn't 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.200 know what food group is this. 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.840 Boy, I don't know, you wouldn't get amberger. There seems 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.440 to be meat present. 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.880 I would like another one, but I don't know what 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:40.800 it is. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.920 Is it a ve er schnitzel. I just don't know. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.720 There must be some foreign food I've never had before. Yeah, yeah, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.360 and yet delicious. I was speaking of RFK Junior because 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.640 he was making McDonald's jokes earlier. Are we gonna get 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.640 back to a little audio from the here? Right now? 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.920 Bernie Sanders is yelling at him for some reason, waving 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.200 his arms around. I mean, Bertie Henders is like a 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.000 caricature of himself. 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.720 Waving his arms. Sat hold over that. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.720 What about the pharmaceutical companies? 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.480 I'm sure he's I'm sure that phrase is coming up 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:11.680 as about a couple of times. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.520 Already a million ha and all billion are what of it? 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:23.520 Oh my god, I tried. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.200 To maake case, said Kenny buck Thought, and they wrapped 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.800 me out of town, out of the rail. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.400 Why I'll just mention briefly again, the one thing I 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:38.200 do like about RFK Junior is the talking about our 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.760 kids and their problems and what the hell is going on. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.760 I don't have the slightest idea if he has the 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.560 right answers or any of that sort of stuff. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.800 But like I dealt all day yesterday, like every. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.680 Minute of my day was dealing with family members mental 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.200 issues that are the very things Joe is talking about 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.960 that didn't hardly ever used to exist at all, And 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.280 now it seems like one out of four kids has 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.480 and figuring that out. Holy crap, how are we not 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:11.720 talking about this every day?

Kennedy can kill off 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.480 access to vaccines and make millions of dollars while he 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:12.920 does it. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.040 Kids might die, but Robert. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.840 Kennedy can keep cashing in the Senator. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:24.280 I support vaccines, will I support the childhood schedule? 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:26.280 I will do that. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.680 The only thing I want is good science, and that's it. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.320 First of all, I heard a noise there that I 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.560 thought he was working up a Hawker to blow on 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:36.400 Elizabeth Warren. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.120 I don't know what that sound was. He's going to 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.800 get a hatchet, he does. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.880 How odd again that this whole conversation's got twisted on 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.280 its head as Elizabeth Warren's crowd has been the vaccines 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.400 or evil crowd my entire life up until COVID. Now 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.560 it's right wingers who want to do with way with vaccines. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.120 So it all got flipped on its head. My son's 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.680 getting his t DAP today, I think, so he can 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.839 take a class an independent studied school. Those aren't going away. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.120 I mean, you can claim that these childhood vaccinations that 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.160 all our kids got are going away, but they aren't. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.120 I don't think so. I'm not worried about it, are you? 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:24.280 I was struck by. We've received several emails people pointing 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.880 out how many more there are now than there were 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.079 when my kids were little. And my oldest kid is 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.520 what thirty two going to be thirty three? This right? 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:42.360 So I guess this is somewhat odd. Bernie Sanders is 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.880 now questioning RFK Junior. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.280 Now you're coming before this committee and you say you're 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.080 pro vaccine, just want to ask some questions, and yet 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:56.240 your organization is making money selling a child's product to 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.720 parents for twenty six bucks, which cast fundamental out on 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.400 you on the usefulness of vaccines. Can you tell us 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.199 now that you will, now that you are pro vaccine, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.280 that you're going to have your organization take these products 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.040 off the market? 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.000 Senator, I have no power over that organization. Not you've 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.600 heard of it. Resigned from the board. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.000 I was just a few months ago you founded that. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.600 You certainly have power you can make that. How are 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:24.600 you supportive of this? 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.600 I have had nothing to do with you supportive of 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:28.400 these onesies? 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:29.840 I'm supportive of vaccines. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.040 Are you supportive of these this clothing which is militantly 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.080 anti vaccine? 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:40.480 I am supportive of vaccines. Well, I want good science 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.960 and I want to protect But you will not tell. 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.960 The organization you founded not to continue by selling that product. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:47.760 Thank you, Miss Jim. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:53.400 Now they have velcrow in the cross. What's wrong with snaps? 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.920 Snaps have been good enough for previous generations. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.120 I wanted to hear him say onesie again, Will well 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.560 you stop selling these onesies? So what's the onesie RFK 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.320 Junior sells that is anti vax Is it having a 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:08.120 clogan on it? 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.160 Or oh, yeah, I'm sure it does. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.280 Yeah, we'll have to google that. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.640 No vax is for me, I'm a healthy baby, or whatever. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:22.040 Who freaking knows, gotcha. RFK Junior's deal is he makes 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.680 zillions of dollars on class action lawsuits, including against pharmaceutical companies, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.680 and he wants to weaken the protections for them, and 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.800 he will make lots and lots of money. It also 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.560 could be suggested by people of good conscience that the 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.000 protections are too strong and too much and they ought 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:40.960 to be re examined. 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.040 Well. So he's currently being questioned on his abortion stance 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.480 by Democrats because he is a lifelong pro choice guy 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.000 up until. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:53.720 You know the very end. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.840 And as CNN sat up there, RFK Junior says he 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.600 will follow the guidance of President Trump. That's really the 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.080 where the rubber meets the road on most of these nominees, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.720 isn't it. They're going to fulfill the wishes of President 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.800 Trump or they won't get to stay in the job. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:16.800 Correct. Yeah, So I. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.280 Guess that's why I don't get as worried about it. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.000 Yeah, those questions ought to be coming from conservatives, from Republicans, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.960 because Trump is essentially moderate pro life, clearly his whole life. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.600 His recent statements make it clear that that's his thing. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.760 And RFK Junior has been like way out their lefty 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.760 pro abortion up until the last second. I mean, the 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.200 kid was like ready to be born, which is abhorrent. 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.920 It's infanticide. So I am a little concerned about that 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:50.120 which way that goes, although I don't think that either 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.960 one of them is an activist on the topic. Are 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.960 you supportive of these onesies? 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.920 Are you supportive of these onesies? You put your feet 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.440 at them, you pull them up on your knees them up. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.880 It is one piece of clothing that satisfies the needs 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:04.800 of your entire baby. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.240 Are you in favor of this or not? 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.080 I wish I was wearing a onesie right now. I'm 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.720 surprised that they haven't caught on as the modern clothing. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.320 We should all be wearing onesies. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.359 Wow. Wow, too difficult to get to to get into. 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.360 Will you come up with a flap or a slot 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.439 or something, depending on your your gender? 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:30.720 With this weekend, Armstrong and Getty? What top? 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:31.320 How's your life? 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.160 How are things going? I'm good, glad to hear it, 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:39.400 glad to hear it. That's good, really good, just super 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:47.399 thanks for asking. According to who is this bloke Christopher 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:52.920 Caldwell at The Free Press, Trump's recent chucking out of 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:58.440 affirmative action is the biggest policy change of the century. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.560 That's funny that he said that, you bring that up. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.879 I don't know if you listened to last week's National 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:09.040 Review podcast, but Rich Lowry kept saying, guy runs National Review. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.240 People have not grasped how huge this is. This is 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.160 one of the biggest things that's happened in my lifetime. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:24.640 Partly because it reinstates the original intent of virtually all 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.359 of our civil rights laws, the really foundational ones, like 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.560 the Civil Rights Act in nineteen sixty four. It reminds 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.199 us all with utter clarity, and it's shocking that this 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:39.359 was ever lost. The idea is, you can't discriminate based 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.320 on race, period, not unless it's white people, or not 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.240 unless it makes you feel good, or unless you think 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.679 it's really important or it'll accomplish some other good. No, 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.720 we as a society realized it's a lot like censorship 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.959 or a lot of other things. There aren't any human 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.920 beings who are so wise and wonderful that you can 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:06.160 bestow such a power on them. None. In any circumstance, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.280 We're done with it. I remember that guy. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.880 We used to have on in California, Ward Connory, back 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.240 in the day. Sure, yeah, he was a black gentleman 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.879 who was arguing hard to try to do away with 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.639 racial preferences in California, and his argument was always you 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.200 can make the argument that at the time, in nineteen 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.440 sixty four, and I'm in the middle of the latest 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.600 Martin Luther King biography, it's just it's unbelievable that in 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:40.800 my lifetime black people, any race were denied the opportunity 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.000 the pursuit of happiness in the United States the way 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.840 they were. I mean, absolutely unbelievable. You couldn't get jobs, 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.560 you couldn't stay at a hotel, you couldn't drink out 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.359 of that water fountain. He had to stand up on 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.119 the bus. I mean, it's just incredible that that was 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.080 going on in the United States America. But anyway, the 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.400 point being, you can make the argument that coming out 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:01.480 of that, you needed some sort of forcing mechanism to 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:06.359 make certain organizations higher enough black people or it was 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.240 just never going to happen. But that was a long 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.639 time ago, and it's very difficult to make that argument now. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.800 And as John Roberts said in the latest Supreme Court decision, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.520 as I mentioned yesterday, John Roberts said, the best way 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.360 to end racism is to end racism racial preference. 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:28.639 Stop it right right, and don't let me forget to 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:33.240 get back to the idea of affirmative action. But the 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.480 free press rights rip affirmative action. But that's only part 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.160 of the story. A curious element of Trump's third Executive 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.320 Order is its invocation of the President's Solemn duty. That's 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.639 a quote to enforce longstanding federal civil rights laws and 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.840 mentions the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. And 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.840 they point out this is not a concession, it's a threat. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.040 While the Civil Rights Act mentioned affirmative action, and we'll 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.280 get back to that in a second, it attached no 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.880 specific meaning to the term, and the law was resolutely colorblind. 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.240 Affirmative action programs, with their differing treatments of race, are 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.560 intension with it, at least I'd say they're in open 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.960 definance of it. But DEI programs, many of which scapegoat 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.520 white people, are even more so. It is Trump's assertion 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:21.520 the DEI programs quote violate the text and spirit of 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.440 our long standing federal civil rights laws. He's absolutely correct. 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.840 Trump is doing more than reforming the public sector. He 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.000 is signaling to the private sector that certain kinds of 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:40.200 programs are liable to prosecution, even asking each federal agency 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:43.320 to name up to nine large private sector or organizations 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:48.360 that might be engaged in discrimination. In other words, this 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.560 perversion of the nineteen sixty four civil rights law, which 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.800 and again I will tip my Captain Rich Lowry, who 0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:00.960 talked about this a little bit. The federal government has 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:08.600 fairly limited resources and ability to enforce discrimination in private enterprise, 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:10.600 just because it doesn't have like a police force in 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:15.200 every office in America. But it can, through its laws 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:22.320 and regulation of private enterprise, change the culture in that 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.840 Ford Motor Company just to pick something out of the air. 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.160 There's no reason to pick them specifically if they make 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.760 it clear that whether in your federal contracting, which is 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.280 an enormous part of so many companies bottom line, or 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.600 just in your day to day operation, if we find 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:43.160 you in violation of federal civil rights laws, we will 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.600 bring you to your knees. And because every corporation in 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.639 America goes along with that stuff just because they have 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.320 to to be careful and you know, avoid lawsuits and 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:56.760 the rest of it. It changes the culture and people 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:02.120 get the idea, well everybody agrees with this because everywhere 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:06.320
