1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Shoe, Getty arms Strong.

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: And Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: This is something that is probably going to get worse

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: and worse. You know, we're going to continue to see

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: attacks by the Israelis. As you said, we've been hearing

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: extremely bellicost language, including from the Minister of Defense israel

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: Cats saying that they're going to rain hell on Hamas.

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: And you know, this really just goes to show there's

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: a big change here.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: I hate to constantly harp on media coverage of stuff,

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 4: but Bella Coast language from the Israelis.

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: Nobody reports on Bella Cooast language from Hamas.

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 4: They say all day, every day, we want every Jew

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: on planet Earth to be dead.

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: And that doesn't get because of language from the Israelis

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: saying they will take the initiative right because everybody's so

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: used to it.

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: It's just like baked in.

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: You get to you get to constantly, you know, promise

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: a thousand more October seventh, which means raping old women

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: and burning children, orbans and whatnot. And it's not considered

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 4: the ghost language for some reason. It's weird.

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, Jack, they're dying. They're dying. The mainstream meeting. Oh,

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: they're dying, Yeah, and deservedly so. Oh speaking which I

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: got a couple of really interesting defense related topics. But

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: did you have more on that topic?

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: No? More on that later, I suppose Either way, I

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: don't care. It's okay. I was gonna say full confession.

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Yesterday we were talking about Saint Patrick's Day, among other things,

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: and I had no interest in it. The confession is,

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: most of Sunday night was dominated by taking my dog

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to the emergency veterinarian hospital and we thought he was

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna die, and then up very late and he was

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: funky all night, and it turns out they dialed in

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: his medicine and he's definitely in the part of his

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: life where we're keeping them comfortable, trying to keep them happy,

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: but the clock's are ticking, and oh, what a hell

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: of a night. And so anyway, I was off my

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: game yesterday.

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: Not your main concern, but not an inexpensive thing to

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 4: do emergency vet care either.

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, And I'm lucky I can afford it.

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: It's fine, but yes, just yeah, it's also gut wrenching

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: anybody wh's had a dog, That's what I'm talking about.

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: But interestingly, many many miles from the University of California Davis,

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: the fabulous veterinarian was a UC Davis grad and it's

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: the world standard right in veterinary care.

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: And number one bet school and Planet Earth for quite

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: a while. Yeah, guy was so sharp, so good.

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Anyway, back to matters military found this so interesting. Hit

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: you with a little of this yesterday, but it's worth

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: turning our attention to naval powers unquestionably going to be

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: a big part of military power in the twenty first century,

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: probably unmanned, at least to a large extent, unmanned.

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: More on that to go.

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Yesterday we briefly mentioned how pathetic our position is is

58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: the United States in shipbuilding these days, and I mentioned

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: that a report from the Center for Strategic and International

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: Studies said the Chinese BMUTH China State Shipbuilding Corporation built

61
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: more commercial vessels by tonnage last year than the US

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: is built since the end of World War Two.

63
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: That is almost impossible to believe that it's true.

64
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, if I were to be just a teeny

65
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: bit of a skeptic. Our shipbuilding capacity is pathetic right now.

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: But we had a ginormous navy at the end of

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: World War Two and have mostly been tapering it down

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and then replacing it as needed, whereas China had, you know,

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: re junks in a fishing boat with a handgun.

70
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: Well, I remember it was wasn't that long ago, and

71
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: China got their first aircraft carrier, right right, So you know,

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: it's not quite as terrible as it sounds, but it's

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: pretty terrible, as is this Rich Lowry Yeah, points out

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: in the National Review, the US commercial shipbuilding sector has

75
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: one tenth of or percent of the global market in shipbuilding,

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: the greatest.

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Manufacturer ever seen on Earth. We hardly build ships at all.

78
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of decent shipyards, but they're undermanned.

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: They can't find people to work there, and we the

80
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: United States, depend on South Korea for a lot of

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: our shipbuilding, which is fine if you have a seventy

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: year long post WW two stretch of peace and prosperity.

83
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: But the minute you don't man you are in a

84
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: serious world of hurt. Let me scroll ahead here. Midway,

85
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the Great Battle of Midway was an important battle We

86
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: built seventeen major aircraft carriers after that battle, while the

87
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: Japanese built six, and we built our way to victory.

88
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, the German Messerschmidts were better

89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: airplanes than are. What was the best plane at the time,

90
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: was it the Mustang or I'm not an aircraft expert

91
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: by any means, but they had better planes. We could

92
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: just make a hell of a lot more of them,

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and so that's been one of our great strengths. But

94
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: President Trump, Toho his credit is reportedly fixated on the

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: issue and is sending his Naval Secretary nominee at this

96
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: point images of rusted US hulls at all hours, saying

97
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: when are we going to deal with this? How are

98
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: we going to deal with this? Which I think is great.

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: But one estimate is that the Chinese currently have two

100
00:05:52,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty times the US shipbuilding capacity they are

101
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: and you remember we outbuilt to Japanese seventeen to six

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: after the Battle of Midway, and that's part of the reason,

103
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we won. As Rich points out,

104
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: one way to look at it is that the Chinese

105
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: are closer to our production capacity in World War Two,

106
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: and we are closer to that of Japan at best,

107
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: maybe even weaker anyway, So that's an urgent thing. And

108
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: then to the unmanned deal. I thought this was so

109
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: interesting the Wall Street Journal an all robot assault in

110
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Ukraine has opened a new chapter in frontline warfare. It

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: was a drone only attack, and they opened the story

112
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: with a four wheel drone turned through the mud towards

113
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: its target, a Russian bunker, where eventually it arrived and exploded.

114
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: More drones followed. Some moved on land, including ones mounted

115
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: with machine guns or packed with explosives. Others came by air,

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: dropping munitions and providing a view of the battlefield. The

117
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: attack by the Ukrainians in December coordinated unmanned land and

118
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: aerial vehicles on a scale that hadn't previously be done

119
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: been done, marking the new chapter of warfare where humans

120
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: are largely removed from the front lines of the battlefield,

121
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: at least in the opening stages.

122
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: That is interesting. I mean, obviously we're a long way

123
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: from there, as you see the meat grinder that is

124
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: the war in Ukraine, But how would you judge wars

125
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: at that point?

126
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: Would what would the news be? Every day.

127
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: We we we caused the enemy to lose three thousand

128
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: autonomous vehicles yesterday while we only lost one hundred or

129
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: something worth.

130
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: Eight point seven billion dollars or something.

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: Be all about how much money and innovation you have,

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: I guess, and manufacturing capacity.

133
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Back to that topic, because control of the sea lanes

134
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: of the world is one of the greatest benefits nobody

135
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: ever thinks about in the post World War two piece

136
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: of prosperity we were describing earlier. You can ship stuff

137
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: everywhere fairly, safely, and that has lifted billions of people

138
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: out of poverty. And global trade, you know, the upside

139
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: of global trade has been absolutely fantastic. But if China decides, yeah,

140
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna extort you for all these concessions and that

141
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: country and that land by not letting you ship any

142
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: of your goods until we say you can, the only

143
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: way to clear out those sea lanes again is by force,

144
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: and that's probably going to be sea drones, drone warfare again.

145
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

146
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: While we're talking war. Briefly, the president of the United

147
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: States and the dictator of Russia are on the phone

148
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: together Putin and Trump talking about ceasefire, which I imagine

149
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: is seeing if there are any concessions Putin's willing to

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: make or whatever. Well Ian Bremer was writing about that yesterday.

151
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: I thought this was kind of interesting. Zero chance Ukraine

152
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: gets Crimea back, and Zelenskin knows that in GMA rights.

153
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 4: What differentiate differentiates Crimea from other chunks of Ukraine is

154
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: it is a former autonomous republic with its own I

155
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: didn't know this with its own parliament, internal policy, so

156
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: it it operates kind of with his own government, even

157
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: as they say, And it has a Russian majority population

158
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: that speaks Russian, which is different from the rest of

159
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: Ukraine that can't make that claim. So it's definitely easier

160
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: for Putin to make the argument that it should be

161
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: part of Russia. You do, you shouldn't be able to

162
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: take it by tanks and killing people, but they did.

163
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: But there seems to be agreement that crime is gone.

164
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: I just hope Trump is fully cognizant that Putin is

165
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: that not there to negotiate, He's there to manipulate, and

166
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: and I think he is utterly, you know, divorced from

167
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Putin's soul.

168
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think I don't think that. I

169
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: don't think Trump's naive to that at all. I'm good.

170
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: I know that's a common critique, but I don't think

171
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: he's naive to it at all. My concern is he

172
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: doesn't care. He just doesn't care how much Putin gets.

173
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: He doesn't see that as a a message for the world,

174
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: or a precedent setting problem or anything like that.

175
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

176
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I have slight concern that Trump wants the deal more

177
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: than Putin does, and that's a bad bargaining physician to

178
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: be in. But again, Trump is obviously being very mysterious

179
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: about his means and goals here other than just stopping

180
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: the killing.

181
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: So and I won't prejudge. He did mention at least.

182
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 4: A couple of times on the campaign trail, you know,

183
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: of telling Putin, you know, we'll arm Ukraine like we've

184
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: never armed him before.

185
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: It's possibly he says that to Putin.

186
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 4: Look, I've been saying nice things to you, I've been

187
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: on the sidelines, but if you don't come to some

188
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: sort of agreement, we're gonna have to arm the heck

189
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: out of Ukraine.

190
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know, it's possible. It is possible.

191
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Gender bending madness update, babies and basketballs stay with us,

192
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: and dwarf abuse from the Snow White movie.

193
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: Oh No, stay tuned for front of That came across

194
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: some recent Gallup polling. I want to get to at

195
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: some point, views young people have about the United States,

196
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 4: their confidence in having a good life, finding a house,

197
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: getting ahead, our judicial system, our politics, all these different

198
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: sorts of things in the toilet. By the way, for

199
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: young people, everything's in the toilet. Well, they've been brought

200
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: up to hate their own country. It's not shocking.

201
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk about that, but first, it's a gender

202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: bending madness update. You've never heard of Minas Fared and

203
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Mei of Vie, but I will quote her in a

204
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: recent piece. It's been three years since swimmer Leah tom

205
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Us Born William won the gold medal in the five

206
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: hundred yard freestyle at the NC DOUBLEA Division one Women's Championship,

207
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: wasn't it.

208
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: That's funny because that's a dude. That's weird anyway.

209
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't until the release of President Trump's February five

210
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Executive Order keeping Men out of women's sports, the US

211
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: government established a clear policy protecting female athletics.

212
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: This is personal, she writes. Well, she writes, male competitors should.

213
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Be removed and the rank of affected women increased accordingly

214
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: to in past competitions. She says this is personal. In

215
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, when I was a sophomore at East Texas

216
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: A and M University, I was assigned second place in

217
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: the finals of the NC DOUBLEA Division two women's four

218
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: hundred meter hurdles. The video from that event shows me

219
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: racing in lane eight. In lane four is c. C.

220
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: Telfer of Franklin Pearce University, who competed for that school's

221
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: men's team the previous two years. Craig Telfer ranked three

222
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: hundred and ninetieth among NC DOUBLEA Division two men.

223
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

224
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: Cc Telfer just destroyed the women's field and crossed the

225
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: finish line almost two seconds before me, becoming the first

226
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: known transgender identified athlete to win at NC double A title.

227
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: Now was what year that? That is the first time

228
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: that happened? Twenty nineteen.

229
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: Okay, that made me the first collegiate woman to be

230
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: told her victory was worth less than a man's feelings.

231
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: I cried a lot that day. That's pretty good.

232
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: It is pretty good. Yeah, that's it. Riley Gaines has

233
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: said similar stuff. I cried a lot that day, not

234
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: because I lost, but because of how I lost, I

235
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: know I wasn't the only victim. Every time a male

236
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: athlete enters a female competition, a woman gets cut from

237
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,479
Speaker 1: the roster to make room. Men have enormous athletic advantages

238
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: over women, which is why she's the hurdler. Remember, women's

239
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: hurdles are nine inches shorter than men's. Know that Olympic

240
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: gold well and winning times for men's four hundred meters

241
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: are five seconds faster than for women. That's a difference

242
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: of ten percent, an eternity in this kind of sport. Sure,

243
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: then she gets to the uncomfortable truth. I'm a people

244
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: pleaser and I don't like to upset peace people, a

245
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: stereotypical female quality that transactivists often exploit to suppressed assent.

246
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Took me a year before I found the nerve to

247
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: post about my feelings. When CC Telfer alerted supporters to

248
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: my post, I was denounced as a transphobe and racist,

249
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: and received harassment and threats you people are crazy, Yeah,

250
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: no kidding. Telfer went on to write a book and

251
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: was profiled by The New York Times magazine in a

252
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: lengthy article titled for My People. A transgender woman pursues

253
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: an Olympic dream, which collapsed when he failed a testosterone test.

254
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't expect, she writes, I'll ever be profiled in

255
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: a fawning magazine feature. But I did accomplish one thing

256
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: that will always fill me with pride. In twenty nineteen,

257
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: I was the fastest female four hundred meters hurtler at

258
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: any NCAA Division two school. It's been five years since

259
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: that honor was stolen from me. I want it back.

260
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I am going to spend my time for the next

261
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: several days seeing if I can get something going to

262
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: get this woman her medal. I'm disgusted by that story.

263
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: Moving along.

264
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Great piece in the California Globe about here's a headline.

265
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: This is actually from ABC. California resists Trump's order banning

266
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: transgender women and girls in sports. The Calistornia California Interscholastic

267
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: Federation has said they plan on continuing to follow California

268
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: law which allows.

269
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: Dudes to play in girls and women's sports.

270
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: Mister President, if you get a chance to turn your

271
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: attention this way, we certainly would appreciate it. Lasses consistent

272
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: with their gender identity. So you call yourself a girl,

273
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: you're a girl women's basketball team from a Christian college

274
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: in Canada is battled back against stifling outs to win

275
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: its championship after being sanctioned by the league for opposing

276
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,119
Speaker 1: transgender athletes.

277
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: They refuse to play this. What's the other name of

278
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: the school?

279
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter, oh, Vancouver Island University, because they

280
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: had a dude on the team. The dude, by the way,

281
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: let's see where is it.

282
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: The dude was.

283
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: All Conference for the second year in a row, and

284
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: indeed was the player of the year in the league

285
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: last year.

286
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: Wow, what is the matter with you? Pete? But trans

287
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: women are women, so it's okay. It's not that it's

288
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: a dude. They're the best player. We better give the

289
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: award because we're terrified.

290
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: So in most of these places, like if you stood

291
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: up in the stands at a basketball game or someplace

292
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: like when it's quiet and said, hey, that's a guy

293
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: out there, would people boo you and throw things at you?

294
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: Where people would cheer you? I don't even actually know.

295
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: I always assume people would cheer for somebody standing up

296
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: and saying what is obviously true.

297
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: But I sorry, I said the dude was all conference.

298
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: He was all Canadian for the second year in a

299
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: row and the player of the year in the conference.

300
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: To your question, I think you would have far more

301
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: people jump up and shout that they're with you, especially

302
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: now two years ago when everybody's terrified of the woke thing,

303
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: not so much right now.

304
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: You would get lots of support.

305
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: We didn't get to hospitals telling new asking newborns what

306
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: their pronouns are.

307
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: Maybe later on. You can't ask a newborn anything, and

308
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: you can ask Armstrong and Getty.

309
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: An early opening day for Major League Baseball was show

310
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Hey Otani and the Dodgers taking on the Cubs in

311
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Tokyo this morning.

312
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: Well, the rest of the league is still in spring training.

313
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: And show hey Otani, we heard a base hit. So

314
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: the Tokyo crowd getting with the show is yeah.

315
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: Shows We are pointing out earlier there is a time

316
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: change between Tokyo and the United States, and that in

317
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: the United States it's May eighteenth, but in Tokyo it's

318
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: April first, and they had opening day of Major League

319
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: Baseball two weeks before the rest of the league.

320
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I have checked in with a league source.

321
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Show hey Otani is my golf buddy, and yes it

322
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: is an official first game of Thegular season, two weeks

323
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: before the regular season starts at three am American time

324
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: in Tokyo. Can you imagine trying to hit a major

325
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: league fastball when you've just been somewhere for a couple

326
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: of days and it's three o'clock in the morning, according

327
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: to your body and your brain.

328
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: Now, I saw something on a headline that when they

329
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: introduced Shoho Tani, the crowd stayed silent, like they're angry

330
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: that he left Japan or I don't know.

331
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: I'll have to read up on it could be. I suppose,

332
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. So we have.

333
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: Plenty of real important things to talk about, like no

334
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: actual human little people in the new snow White movie,

335
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: which has be ble outraged apparently or something. No, well,

336
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 4: it's got some little people outraged, I guess. So this

337
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: is I came across this in the Financial Times. It's

338
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: Gallup polling views of young people in the United States

339
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 4: on many aspects of balitics, society and well being have

340
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 4: deteriorated over the last several years. Now it's going back

341
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 4: to who looks like two thousand and eight.

342
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: Looking at this.

343
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 4: Chart confidence in the judicial system. This is true for

344
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: all Americans, not just young people. So we're talking about

345
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 4: people fifteen to twenty nine years of age, under the

346
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: age of thirty, but starting at fifteen. I don't know

347
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: why you poll a fifteen year old's attitude on anything.

348
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: You are a child. I have a fifteen year old.

349
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 4: He has not got a lot of life perspective on

350
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: any of these things, and his.

351
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: Attitudes are a young person. Any young person's attitudes are

352
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: likely to be completely different in two and a half.

353
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: Weeks, right anyway.

354
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 4: Confidence in the judicial system has gone from looks like

355
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: about sixty five percent to way down.

356
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: Below fifty down in the forties.

357
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: So that's not good, but that's true for all Americans.

358
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: And we've got both parties to blame for that, both

359
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: presidents attacking the Supreme Court regularly, and that.

360
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: None of that's good, but some of the other things good.

361
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: Four R housing in cities has gone from about two

362
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 4: thirds of young people had a positive view of this

363
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: to well below forty. Confidence in national government has gone

364
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 4: from well above fifty down to around thirty percent. Of course,

365
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: that fits in with a lot of the rest of

366
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 4: the country too. Here's an interesting question. I don't know

367
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: if anybody's ever asked me before rate your satisfaction with

368
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 4: freedom in your life?

369
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: What would you say to that? I don't know where

370
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 2: I would be.

371
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: Wow, I mean compared to the rest of the world,

372
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 4: I'm pretty happy. Compared to what I think it used

373
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 4: to be in the United States, I'm not as happy, right,

374
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 4: which is what they're asking. Yeah, I mean it's still

375
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: quite good.

376
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: Well, listen to this.

377
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: It has gone from damn near ninety percent in the

378
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: early two thousands to still a high number, but about

379
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: seventy percent, which dropped twenty points.

380
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: I would love to drill down on those attitudes and

381
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: now just ask a bunch of questions of the youngsters.

382
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: I would too.

383
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 4: It's not good because you don't want people with that

384
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: feeling because that's going to play out in their politics.

385
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, two sides to that coin.

386
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: To me. Number one, if you have a bunch of

387
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: young people who are saying, hey, I want more liberty,

388
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: well amen to that, friends. I mean, as long as

389
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: it's within the bounds of the law and decency. If

390
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: you're a lover of liberty, well great, that's super. On

391
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: the other hand, you also have the indoctrination, which happens

392
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: in a lot of America's government schools that are teaching

393
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: kids you have the right to housing, you have the

394
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: right to food, you have the right to medical insurance,

395
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: the rest of it, and maybe they think, oh, and

396
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A better way to express it was and

397
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt tried to get this going too. How

398
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: about the freedom from hunger right, the freedom from homelessness,

399
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: the freedom from fear.

400
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: That you won't be able to make a living. I

401
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: want those freedoms.

402
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: If they mean that, I'd like to slap them around,

403
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: tell them they're tough enough.

404
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: I can show your soul's desire for freedom. Yeah, exactly,

405
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, Shijhin Ping.

406
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 4: But I think it's pretty interesting that not that many

407
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 4: years ago we had ninety percent of young people walking

408
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 4: around saying, hey, I'm satisfied with freedom. Ninety that's awesome.

409
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 4: But a twenty point drop in not very many years

410
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: is not good?

411
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: Is it that? The kids?

412
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, when I went off to college, I had

413
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: so much freedom. I was so happy I couldn't even

414
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: stand it. But these kids have the snowplow parents, the

415
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: helicopter parents. I notice you aren't up yet. You have

416
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: class at nine o'clock and being micromanaged on campus and

417
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: criticized for saying, hey, I think Trump's right about immigration.

418
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

419
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it's legitimate an a legitimate expression of their declining life.

420
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: Liberty.

421
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 4: Boy, I did one of those the other day, and

422
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: I'm so embarrassed about it. Oh so embarrassed about it.

423
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 4: Maybe i'll talk about that on the air. Well, you

424
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: don't have a college kid, though, No, as a high

425
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: school kid that I should have at least according to

426
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: the coach apparently should have had him deal with it

427
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 4: and not me, And I am embarrassed. I kind of

428
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: got oh mini lectured about it. So oh yeah, and

429
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 4: it's embarrassing. I thought I was doing the right thing. Ay,

430
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 4: appreciate the coach. Yeah, maybe I'll talk about that in

431
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 4: a way. Okay, But we've always liked this questioning gallup.

432
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 4: It's about whether you're thriving or not. And that's not

433
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 4: a word I ever use in my life.

434
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: So judging once every six months, would I describe myself

435
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: as thriving?

436
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: All right?

437
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: Judging whether I'm thriving or not seems weird since I

438
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 4: never liked why I don't use that term. But on

439
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 4: their scale, so the question is what are your expectation

440
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: expectations for life in five years time? So five years

441
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: from now are your expectations for life? You know, ten's good,

442
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: zero's horrible. Where are you on the scale? And I

443
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: don't even know how I would answer that myself. I

444
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: actually guess I would be I might even be a ten.

445
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think I'm a ten. My expectations

446
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: for life in five years are a ten? I think, yeah,

447
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 4: it would be high ish, pretty high, I guess.

448
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: I don't know.

449
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: Anyway, it's gone from for young people, so you're fifteen,

450
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: your expectations for when you're twenty, you're twenty two, your

451
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: expectations from your twenty seven.

452
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: I think my number would have been really high then too.

453
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: But it's gone from about nine, which is pretty high

454
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: in the early two thousands, down to below eight. And

455
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: the count eight is thriving, so below thriving, sub thriving level. Yes,

456
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 4: So what is necessarily high? Well, it's below And I

457
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: don't know how they came to that number at gallop.

458
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll read up on that. Maybe there's something to

459
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 4: do with a psychologists or something like that.

460
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 2: But how do you have such a drop.

461
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: Among people between fifteen and twenty nine of their expectations

462
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 4: for their life in the next five years. Maybe both

463
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: parties telling you everything's going to hell of the time.

464
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, that's part of it, you know.

465
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: The increase in standards of living has leveled off. Housing

466
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: costs are expensive, that sort of thing, even adjusted for inflation.

467
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: And you know me, I can't. I'm just thinking of myself.

468
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: If I was going to be in a crappy apartment

469
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: with four other dudes sharing rent, I still considered it thriving.

470
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: This is awesome, right, Yeah?

471
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: Could it be the never ending indoctrination in government schools

472
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: that this is a crappy country, The idea that you

473
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: can work hard and get ahead is a lie. And

474
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: the American dream is dead because it was founded on

475
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: races and still racist. And the patriarchy you'll keep you down.

476
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: And if you happen to be somebody who's not a

477
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: victim of the patriarchy, that's because you are the patriarchy

478
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: and you're an evil person and everybody in class hates you.

479
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

480
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: I hate to be so cookie cutter, kind of predictable

481
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: here talk radio, but I think this is it. I

482
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: think the public schools telling you that were the most

483
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 4: racist we've ever been, and climate change is destroying the earth,

484
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: and the American dream is a lie, and the American

485
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: dream is a lie built on racism, which they're actually

486
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: teaching the sixteen nineteen project, that's the whole point of it.

487
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: Are teaching that in some schools.

488
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, why would you have expectations that things are going

489
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 4: to be great in five years? You're told every day

490
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 4: by somebody you will respect an adult, that things are

491
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 4: going to hell.

492
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: If you are taught.

493
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: Every day the value of mathematics and how to do maths,

494
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: you can get better at math. Likewise English or woodworking

495
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: for that matter. I don't think it's cookie cutter and

496
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: obvious at all to point out what is clearly true.

497
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: We indoctrinate these kids on a near daily basis to

498
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: hate their country, and they hate their country.

499
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: I wonder where that came from.

500
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: So there's only one number that's going up out of

501
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 4: these six graphs that they have here in the Financial

502
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: Times from the Gallop polling, and it is did you

503
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: experience stress yesterday? That number has gone up from around

504
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: forty percent. And God, you talk about something that's in

505
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 4: the eye of the beholder. You could, depending on where

506
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 4: you're going to put the bar for stress, I could

507
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 4: say yes every day of my life or no, practically

508
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: every day of my life.

509
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: I have no memory of how I define that term

510
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: in my head at age sixteen.

511
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 4: No, I don't either, and I even sure how I've

512
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 4: determined it most days today. But like nobody's going to

513
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: try to kill me today, nobody's going to drop a bomb.

514
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: On my house.

515
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 4: I don't have that stress. I don't live in Ukraine.

516
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: But it went from well below fifty to up around

517
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 4: seventy percent now experienced stress yesterday. Well that's another somewhat

518
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: learned thing that we're We have teachers at every level

519
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: trying to convince you you should be stressed because again

520
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: we're structurally racist, and the world is coming to an

521
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 4: end because of climate change, and your evil parents aren't

522
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: willing to do anything about it.

523
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, I mean, I think the never

524
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: ending inputs of the internet and social media have have

525
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: got people feeling more stressed too, because we don't have

526
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: time to daydream and let our thoughts get structured the

527
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: way any neuroscientist would tell you have to.

528
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: That's right, we didn't even bring up the.

529
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: This chart starts about the time smartphones hit the land,

530
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, you got to factor that into absolutely any

531
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: Any look at society that doesn't look like at two

532
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: thousand and eight as a major change in world history

533
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: is just doing it wrong.

534
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: Right, they're fools.

535
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's see now, Oh, twenty four hours a day,

536
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: the entire world can weigh in on whether I'm a

537
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: worthy person or not via the Internet and social media.

538
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little stressed. That's a good point. Thank wow,

539
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: here all week. What does that mean for humankind? And

540
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: that's a pretty big change in a short amount of time.

541
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: Let's see, people are miserable, and they're not coupling, and

542
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: they're not having babies.

543
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: They're not optimistic about the future. They think it's only good.

544
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: They're miserable now and think it's gonna get worse. It's

545
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: really a bad point. There are great games you can play.

546
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 4: Well you wait for the bus. Yeah, it's a positive.

547
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 4: My my attitude is I'm not happy right now, and

548
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: I believe five years from now it'll be even worse.

549
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: That is the typically impossible.

550
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: Oh and I've been taught that because a climate change

551
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: will all be on fire or drowning or maybe both,

552
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: which is hard to explain.

553
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 4: Any comments on this text line four one five two

554
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 4: nine five KFTC.

555
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: Magic Mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of

556
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: them all? Fame is thy beauty, majesty, a lovely maiden.

557
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: I now behold, I look at you, and I just

558
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: want to be the fairest of them all.

559
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 4: So that's from the new live action snow White. I

560
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: gotta admit I don't remember all my uh those stories

561
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: like which ones which? So mirror Mirror on the wall

562
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: is snow White ye? And then you got yarbs and

563
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: then you're riding a pumpkin on that one. That's Cinderella

564
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: to me.

565
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: They're defining characteristic is not their physical statue, Jack, but

566
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: they're hardworking miners.

567
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: But what's the story arc in snow White? Briefly, she's

568
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: a gets and she gets poisoned, that's it.

569
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: By the queen because she's hotter than the queen. Meanwhile,

570
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: the prince who's looking for snow White because he saw

571
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: her and she's beautiful and he wants to you don't

572
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: take her for coffee and see if sparks fly comes

573
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: along and there she is asleep and he's like.

574
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: His chick never wakes up.

575
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 4: He kisses an unconscious woman. Kind of built Godsby's style

576
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: is what he does. Oh stop it, you're a monster.

577
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: You're like the annoying, annoying star of the new action

578
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: movie Rachel's Segler' about to read her.

579
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: Everybody.

580
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so's, she says, the new star woman. I don't

581
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: care about I don't actually care about any of this,

582
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: but she says, the original cartoon came out in nineteen

583
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: thirty seven and there's a big focus on her love

584
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: story with a guy who literally stalks her.

585
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: So we didn't do that this time around.

586
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: We wrote a snow white that's not going to be

587
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: saved by the prince, and she's not going to be

588
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 4: dreaming about true love. She's dreaming about becoming the leader

589
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: she knows she can be, and the leader that her

590
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: late father told her she could be if she was fearless, fair,

591
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: brave and true. And so it's really just an incredible

592
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 4: story for young people everywhere to see themselves in. And

593
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: because I became that's either actually controversial or it's not.

594
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 4: Movies always pretend things are controversial, and then find a

595
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: way to get him into the press, and the main

596
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 4: thing being hey, there's a new snow.

597
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: White movie out. That's the only thing they want you

598
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: to make sure you hear. Oh yeah, absolutely true.

599
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: On the other hand, it is undeniable that between woke

600
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: Disney and Lucasfilms, which has been taken over by a

601
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: bunch of woke you know, lame brains, every single movie

602
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: now is kick ass girl Boss takes charge and wins

603
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the day because the stupid men are too stupid. And

604
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: so this is just another kick ass girl Boss movie

605
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: using the clothes of like a very barely related to

606
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: old timey cartoon.

607
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I don't like, you know, disparaging just love

608
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 4: stories in general, Like that's somehow awful wanting to find

609
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 4: true love.

610
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we're built to do.

611
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: Every man and woman on Earth sets out on that path,

612
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: don't they, right?

613
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, well it's you know, if you want to

614
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: be happy. It's like turning Dumbo into kick ass girl

615
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: Boss rescues African elephants in her brave fight against poachers.

616
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: Well that sounds like an interesting movie, but it's got

617
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Dumbo.

618
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 4: Will there be any dudes in any of these that

619
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: aren't either big, hulking, dumb guys or evil somehow no, probably, no, no, no, no,

620
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: And then you got the whole dwarf thing. So Disney

621
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: decided to go CEEGI on the Dwarves. Now one of

622
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: the dudes who's voicing the dwarfs, Because even if you

623
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040
