00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katty and now he.

00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Ytty. Ron James is in the winter of

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: his life. He's in his early sixties. I don't know

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: how old he is. He's old, but last year, last year,

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: he had Hall of Fame numbers at an age that

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: nobody ever has. It was stunning and if he had retired,

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: that would have been quite a story. He did not retire.

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: This year, he sucks and everybody's turned on him. The

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: fans have turned on him, and now the owner has

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: turned on him in his bedroom.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: And well it's the most common thing in the world, right,

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: stay at stay a little too long?

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's forty one forty one?

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: Yeah wow. Interesting. Also coming up this hour, I received

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: an email that included a link that has made me

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 4: as angry as anything I've seen in weeks.

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: Okay, you will laugh.

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 4: At me, and I will be angry at you as well.

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 4: My anger knows no bound. Okay it is I'm sorry,

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: this is podcasting, this is radio. You can't see I'm

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 4: making a gesture like Moses with the Ten Commandments. Anyway,

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: it has to do with the new major studio version

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: of George Orwell's Animal Farm. Oh okay, I may be

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: going theater to theater committing acts of vandalists. Wow, I

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 4: may get on the wrong side of the law. You

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: may see me being frog marched, purp walked in city

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: after city across America.

32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: Stable.

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: This is a good tease. My son's reading Fahrenheit four

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: fifty one for a high school class. I was happy

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: to see fits in with that Orwell stuff. You know,

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: those that group of books that I really really like.

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: So it's a private school, Yeah, yeah, not surprisingly.

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Do you all remember who Scott Besson is, Like, really

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: remember who he is? He's the Treasury Secretary, but he's

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: also the guy. He's a feisty dude. This story, and

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: it was confirmed by multiple sources because it was at

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: a dinner with thirty guests last year where he had

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: heard the Federal Housing Finance Agency director whatever that is,

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: had bad mouthed him to Trump. He goes up to

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: the dude in front of everybody at the dinner and says,

46
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: why the f are you talking to the President about me?

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: F you I'm gonna punch you in your effing face.

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: And he hadn't be separated from the guy. Huh. That's

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the Treasury secretary who's sixty three years old, openly gay,

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: by the way, but gets no credit because he's not

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: a Democrat. You never hear an never hear it. Meant

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: if he was a Democrat, every time he has mentioned

53
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: it would be first openly gay Treasury Secretary Scott doesn't.

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: But now you get it only counts if you're a Democrat.

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: Correct.

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: AnyWho, He's in Davos, Switzerland with all the important people,

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he got into this because

58
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, is coming tomorrow, or

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: he's already there but going to give a speech tomorrow.

60
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Probably bad mouth and his boss Trump and wanted to

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: get ahead of it or whatever. But he got into

62
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom shorts here it is. I think it's very very.

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: Ironic that you know Governor Newsom, who strikes me as

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 5: Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle beach Ken, maybe the only Californian

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He's here

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: this week with his billionaire sugar Daddy Alex Soros and

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 5: the Davos is a perfect place for a man who

68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: when everyone else is on lockdown, when he was having

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 5: people arrested for going to church, he was having on

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: thousand dollars a night meals at the French laundry. And

71
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: I'm sure the California people won't forget that.

72
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: So the sparkle ken stuff and the sugar Daddy George

73
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Sorow's stuff is interesting. Alex sorows thee Alex a younger

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: who's really taken over the family business. But that's an

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: interesting thing to say. And then he goes on with

76
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: his message to Newsom.

77
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 5: My message to Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 5: coming to California. We're going to crack down on waste,

79
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 5: fraud and abuse. And I was told he was asked

80
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: to give a speech on his signature policies. But he's

81
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: not speaking because what of his economic policies brought outward

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 5: migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 5: population in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades

84
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: who had their homes burned down. He is here hob

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: nobbing with the global elite while his California citizens are

86
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: still homeless.

87
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: Shame on him.

88
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 5: He is too smug, too self absorbed, and too economically.

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Illiterate to know anything.

90
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

91
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 5: Let me know if you need any further clarification.

92
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: You know, we need to isolate from the first clip,

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: he's a combination of something and Sparkle Malibu, Sparkle ken.

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever that is, we need that. What the hell

95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: is going on? So I've been for the grace of God.

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: What was the shot across Gavin Newsom's bow there from

97
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: the tertiary secretary of what I said? Because because Gavin's

98
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: going to talk tomorrow.

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's going to show up and absolutely take

100
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: a hatchet to the Trump administration and UH as a

101
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: complete phony con man.

102
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: So I can get a little up there shot.

103
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: I don't mind him getting up there and reminding that

104
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: we uh, the state has net migration, more people leaving

105
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: than coming in and uh and the largest population that's

106
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: understelling it talf. The homeless people in the entire country

107
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: are in California, right right, Well, And we just earlier.

108
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: In a segment for our home station, we're talking about

109
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: how there's a new commission to study deaths in custody

110
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: and prisoners and stuff. It was started in twenty twenty four.

111
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: They haven't looked into a single case. They haven't done

112
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: a single case yet. It's just people on the golf

113
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: course getting state salaries, which reminds me of a great

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: piece in the Free Press was about San Francisco, which

115
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: is still corrupt as hell. It's better than it was,

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: but it's a great study of how they started. Like

117
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: the previous mayor London, Breed funneled nearly one hundred million

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 4: dollars one hundred million to a handful of activist staff

119
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: departments that function largely is make work and vote buying schemes,

120
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: the DEI industrial complex.

121
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: This includes the aa.

122
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: ARC, which they wrote about the city's Human Rights Commission

123
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 4: to be on the Status of Women, Office of Transgender Initiatives,

124
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 4: Office of Racial Equity, and under all these departments, all

125
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: they do is pay people to produce reports that allegedly

126
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: the other people who are doing the same thing read

127
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: they never do anything except collect money.

128
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: That's California.

129
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: It's graft of a sort that would make Boss Tweed

130
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: blush back.

131
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: In the day, laugh, I laughed.

132
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: So we've got to get to the thing that made

133
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Joe so angry that he's willing to go to prison

134
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: over it. But before that last hour, and then I'll

135
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: shift guys in prison over it.

136
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean, my trail of rage will not end, probably

137
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: till I'm in the chair.

138
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: They're going to have to execute me.

139
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: The topic of eating sheep's eyes came up last hour.

140
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: I got a follow up to that.

141
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: But first, no, every time I brought it up, and

142
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: it made me one of them at the first time.

143
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: First we need to tell you about Simply Safe. I

144
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: have to sign outside my house to alert everybody that

145
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: I got the censors, I got the cameras, I got

146
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: my eye on you if you're lurking around my house.

147
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: And not only does Simply Safe have the AI powered

148
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: cameras outside the home spot real threats and instantly alert

149
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: live agents. The live agents then take action. Well the

150
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: intruder is still outside. Not a loud buzzer, Hey, you

151
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 4: got your house smashed up and they've taken your stuff. No,

152
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: it's preemptive, so the agents can talk to the scumbag

153
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: through the camera, let them know they're being watched. The

154
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 4: police are on the way, and indeed they can blast

155
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 4: a siren, light them up with a spotlight.

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: How great is that?

157
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: And right now you can get fifty percent off any

158
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: new system this month only it's a great time to

159
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: upgrade to security that actually helps stop crime before it starts.

160
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Go to simply safe dot com slash armstrong. That's simply

161
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: safe dot com slash armstrong, because there's no safe like

162
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: simply safe.

163
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: And unlike those other things that like show you picture

164
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: and then you have to call the cops. No, they

165
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: take care of all of it in case you're a

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 4: sleeper on a plane or something. Again, simply safe dot

167
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: com slash armstrong, fifty sent off any new system simply

168
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: safe dot com slash armstrong.

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: There's no safe like simply safe.

170
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: So Joe and I have been to a fancy buffet

171
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: that had a giant plate of eyeballs on it platter.

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 3: Was it horrific offerings?

173
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Was it goat size or sheep size? I think it

174
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: was dope. Michael, I know Katie wasn't worth the show.

175
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Were you with the show when we did? We broadcast

176
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: live for a whole week from South Africa? If you

177
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: were with us at that time, yep. I don't know

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: if you've heard this story Katie. For weird reasons. We

179
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: did the show for an entire week from Cape Town.

180
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: South Africa.

181
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not enjoying it so far.

182
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: Just to let you know, well, Jack and I had

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: to run for our lives to avoid being stabbed.

184
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: So that was funny.

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: It was a cool experience and I'm glad I got

186
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: to do it. But yeah, we went to this some

187
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: of the best wine in the world comes from the

188
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: Cape Town region, and we went to this fancy winery

189
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: and they had this big set up and everything, including

190
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: a cheetah on the like a live cheetah standing on

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the table with a collar on it. Oh h, and

192
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: all kinds of different food, including a big plate of eyeballs,

193
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: which I did not have any of. Did you pop

194
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: one in your mouth.

195
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: Or I'm full? No, I'm good on the eyeballs, thank you.

196
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: No, I'm eating a freaking eyeball the locals.

197
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: I assume people eat them. You don't just bring out

198
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: a platter of eyeballs randomly.

199
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think people out.

200
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't a prank.

201
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: It was a delicacy.

202
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: That may have been when I decided delicacy is a

203
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: word that means stuff people ate when they didn't have

204
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: enough real meat to survive.

205
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: It's now a local delicacy.

206
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 6: Right when you saw people eating them, were they just

207
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 6: eating them straight or was there a sauce?

208
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember anybody eating them.

209
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: No, and this is twenty seven years ago. I was

210
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: so repulsed. I think I just got away from them

211
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: there platter. Oh yeah, yeah.

212
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: Well, and and we all spent some horror thick time

213
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,359
Speaker 4: doubled over with intestinal problems.

214
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, well it sounds like a great trip, super

215
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 6: But that just I don't I've never liked food that

216
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: looks at me the like you get a fish at

217
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 6: a restaurant and still got.

218
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: The head on it. Quit looking at me.

219
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just I asked the voiter to put some

220
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: sunglasses on the fish, or blinders or something.

221
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: I I can't have an eyeball on me.

222
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: Have you got them real your eyes?

223
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: I need one of those sleep masks for my fish

224
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: so I can enjoy this, but.

225
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: The whole plate eyeballs, which is why I've gone completely

226
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: berserk over the Animal Farm movie. I'm serious, I'm I

227
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: am out of my mind with unhappiness over this.

228
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

229
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: We'll hear about that next.

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: Farm, We're afraid. What have it go upon? Too? Leg

231
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: is an enemy.

232
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: No animal shall wear clothes where shell pegs and all

233
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: animals are equal. I recognize some of those phrases.

234
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: So far, so good.

235
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,479
Speaker 4: That is part of the trailer for the new animated

236
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: version of George Orwell's Brilliant Animal Farm that will be

237
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: coming to a theater screen near you, directed by Andy Serkis,

238
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: the unbelievably talented guy who portrayed Golloman, Lord of the Rings,

239
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: among other things. He did him, Yes, he did. Yeah,

240
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: and he's a really an amazing guy. Weird looking dude

241
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: or was that a it was CGI generated? He like

242
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: did the motion capture for it. Anyway, I now he

243
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: is now on my enemy's list. I don't have an

244
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: enemy to the list. I'm going to start one, but

245
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: he's at the top of it.

246
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: I am.

247
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: I was so horri thanks first of all to Ryan

248
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: and Houston sent a link to the trailer, and you're

249
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: about to hear a little more of it. I was

250
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: so angry having watched that right before the show. I was.

251
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: I was more agitated than I'm comfortable being, and I

252
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: rarely rarely am.

253
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: And I'm so pissed off.

254
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: I've got to talk myself down from doing something I

255
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: would regret. I am thinking of coming up with some

256
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: sort of way too oh super all star cast.

257
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: By the way, as Hanson reminds me, I'm.

258
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Guessing it's not because you're unhappy with the cinematography.

259
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: Indeed, yeah, here, here is the deal, and I've got

260
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: to it's funny. It made an impression on me before

261
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: I get to the point of how much I knew

262
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: I cherished George Orwell and his writing and.

263
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: His wisdom.

264
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: But it hadn't dawned on me how deep it was

265
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: until I was fighting mad over this. They have changed

266
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: Animal Farm from an incredibly eloquent, persuasive critique of socialism

267
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: and communism and the road it inevitably goes down, a

268
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: piece of art so exquisite PhDs celebrate it and children

269
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: understand it.

270
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: They have changed it to a cautionary tale about how

271
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: capitalism makes people do evil things. The pigs who take

272
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: over the farm and declare themselves the communist rulers, and

273
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: that all will be equal and share equally to each

274
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: according to rule his needs, from each according to his abilities.

275
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: The whole communist creed and they become monsters, slaughtering monsters,

276
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: as always happens with communist totalitarian government. Now it's that

277
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: an evil capitalist gets in the pigs' ears and convinces

278
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: them that to profit more, they should become monsters that

279
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: hurt and killed their friends. Now, how did you become

280
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: aware of this? Because you haven't seen the movie yet.

281
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: Oh, it's made utterly clear in the two minute trailer.

282
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: In fact, here's a little chunk of the trailer.

283
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 6: My best.

284
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: Peaks, I'm serious working together.

285
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: I like the optics.

286
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh, we love the optics.

287
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: What are optics?

288
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a kind of seafood.

289
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: You're wearing clothes.

290
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Did you look at that? I add, everything's different, but

291
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: you're still friends.

292
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

293
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: It's full of jokes and groovy music and fun and

294
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: has completely perverted the story.

295
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: Huh.

296
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's as if they rewrote a christ Carol so that,

297
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, Ebenezer Scrooge embraced Christmas so he could make

298
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: more money from it. When does this come out? Uh?

299
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: Soon?

300
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 5: Ish?

301
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: I guess the trailers all done. I'll definitely want to

302
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: see that in the theater.

303
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: Or where where Oh my god, I will be I

304
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: will be outside that theater picketing and doing interviews about

305
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: what an abortion it is, what a horror it is,

306
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: how it's murdering or well, and I would like to

307
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: get Andy Serkis's neck in my hands like like that

308
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: Sam Wise Gamgee did the Gollum and he had it coming.

309
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: So you want to strangle the director?

310
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: Uh?

311
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: You metaphorically everyone except joke and enjoy this movie on

312
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: me first?

313
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: Okay?

314
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we got a while.

315
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: Well, my militancy will will grow between now and then

316
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: I'll be ready.

317
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: I will be ready.

318
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: Yes, I'll stoke it and roughly I figure I'll stoke

319
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: it once a week for now until we get to

320
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: about the middle of April, and I'll stoke it me.

321
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: You can work on your grip strength for your strangling.

322
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 4: Oh boy, oh boy, there's some stranglings coming. So have

323
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: you read a violence political violence especially?

324
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: Have you read any interviews with the director or anything

325
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: like that, what the point is or what they're trying

326
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: to do?

327
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: You know what, I'd actually read a critique of it

328
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: last year that said essentially the same thing, and the

329
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 4: trailer makes it infinitely clear that those critiques are correct.

330
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: That's wild.

331
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: Does that ever happen before where you do a completely like,

332
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: almost opposite version of a famous Booker movie.

333
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: I'm sure it has.

334
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure it's ever been this blatant

335
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 4: though this I mean not only missing the point, but

336
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: going with nearly the opposite of the point and claiming fidelity.

337
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: The trailer opens with based on George Orwell's masterpiece Animal Farm,

338
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 4: and then the yankeds guts out and turn it into

339
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: a lie.

340
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

341
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you people suck and I hate you. There is

342
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: in short, In brief, I think.

343
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: The world, the country will be talking about this when

344
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: it comes out.

345
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: I'll bet.

346
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: I'll bet that gets a lot of attention. For better

347
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: or worse, if you miss a segment of this show,

348
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: get the podcast. Because of the bent of the mainstream media,

349
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: it hasn't gotten near as much attention as it should have.

350
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: The way those crazed protesters went into a church service

351
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Minneapolis, disrupting a church service and screaming

352
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: at the people in there and screaming at the pastor

353
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: who apparently works with ice or something like that. And

354
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a federal agency that exists enforcing laws that exist right,

355
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: And he's a pastor and he gets to have church

356
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday and you don't get to go in there

357
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: and interrupt everybody going in there to worship as they please.

358
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: It's just it's horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

359
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: Well, and I don't want to spend I don't want

360
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 4: to get into this much because we will in a

361
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: few minutes. But it's an intentional strategy to provoke people

362
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: into taking a swing at them. That's what they want,

363
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 4: They're desperate for that, they want blood. This should be

364
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: enough to make me want to take a swing at you.

365
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: Yes, if I'm in a quiet church on a Sunday

366
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: and you come in and screaming like, well, listen to this.

367
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where

368
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: are your people? The house?

369
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: Why are you not at whibble every day fighting for humanity?

370
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: Standing car people? Where are you? You drink your taffee,

371
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: you got your jewelry, you have your nice clothes. But

372
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: what do you do? What do you want you to

373
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: stand for? Your smalie Latio communities.

374
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna come up with you.

375
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: He'll comment exactly you.

376
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: Every day.

377
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: Good.

378
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: So I'm in church and you come in and scream

379
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: in my face. You have your jewelry and your nice clothes,

380
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: but what are you doing for the Smali community? Right

381
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: out of here right now? Are I'm gonna break your

382
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: effing nose? Well? Right?

383
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: And if those people actually wanted to persuade somebody or

384
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: enlist local churches in helping with X, Y and.

385
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: Z, obviously they would never do it that way. Yeah.

386
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: So I don't think they're merely unwise. I think they're

387
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: absolutely trying to provoke anger and outrage and backlash because

388
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 4: and nobody got it. Frustrates me sometimes, the utterly lacking

389
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: in knowledge and imagination mainstream media with their pretty pretty

390
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: faces and their well coughed hair, but absolutely no curiosity.

391
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: They don't get and they won't tell you.

392
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: These people are desperate to provoke a violent response. They

393
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: want it to turn into violent revolution. That's why they're there.

394
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: They're not unaware that they're being rude, and you really

395
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't go into a church. God, they're laughing at you

396
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: while you're saying that. They know that they want violence.

397
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: They want ten more renee goods if they can get

398
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: ten more nice, misguided middle aged ladies gunned.

399
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 3: Down by ice that's perfect.

400
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: For them as an ugly scene in that church.

401
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: I'd say, uh, is if you don't believe If you

402
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: don't believe me, Michael get ten ready, this happens to

403
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: be in a different place, but uh, this is another

404
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: uh progressive agitator shouting at people going into and out

405
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 4: of a place of worship a church.

406
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, not big prayer.

407
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: You think you're gonna bring your kids here and we're

408
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna spare you while you support the bombing of children

409
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: and Ghazi.

410
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: Your parents are Nazis? Are such a Nazi little bitch?

411
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: What do you worship? Hand on Sunday mornings? Are worshiping?

412
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: Look at this bass you're worshiping?

413
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 7: Yes?

414
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, move? Are you park ass?

415
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: You well be?

416
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: Does not by a God but by a corner law.

417
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 3: You Nazi?

418
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: And this guy was getting in the face of dads

419
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: who had a kid like holding hands on each side,

420
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: screaming about are you going to be a little Nazis too?

421
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 3: Because your dad's a Nazi?

422
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would not be able to control myself.

423
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: Exactly neither would I And and to those people's credit,

424
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: they laughed at the guy. The almost universal response was

425
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: laughing at him, which I see I would have been

426
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: sorely tempted to jack the guy in the face.

427
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: And I would if somebody could have given me the speech,

428
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: your speech before I walked in there, that the whole

429
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: point of this is they're trying to provoke you. I

430
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 1: could have handled it, okay, but if that came out

431
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: of nowhere, I would lose my ass. Well, and there's

432
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: there's certainly there are some of.

433
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 4: You know when as time made it about other people,

434
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 4: there are some of you who might be thinking, oh,

435
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: he's looking for a violent response.

436
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: He's trying to provoke me.

437
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 4: I'll let him provoke me right into a hospital bed, Okay,

438
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: I'll put him there. But watching the people laugh at

439
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 4: the guy reminded me there's some tools even more powerful

440
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 4: than fists, hammers exactly, hammers.

441
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 3: And guns, no, no, no, laughter and mockery.

442
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: And I salute those good people for their a self

443
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: control and b grace under pressure anyway, But he was

444
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: obviously obviously obviously putting you in a decision dilemma which

445
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, or the darva thing which I

446
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: mentioned the other day, which is, oh it's reloading here.

447
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: It is deny that your you know that what's happening

448
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: is what is clearly happening. Attack, then reverse victim and offender.

449
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: I wish the minister. We played this yesterday when former

450
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: CNN host Don Lemon was in there arguing with the

451
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: preacher and set is ridiculous. We don't have to leave.

452
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: Do you know about the First Amendment the right to protest?

453
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: And the minister for whatever reason, didn't have at the ready. Yeah,

454
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: the First Amendment also includes right to freely worship, and

455
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: you're interrupting that, you and the right to peaceably assemble.

456
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 4: You forced your way in here against our will, right,

457
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 4: And then Don Lemon with, oh, what Jesus wants you

458
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: to listen and talk to them as if they the

459
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: protests are screeching at him.

460
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to talk. Don Lemon, just want.

461
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: To scrape your teeth off the ground on God.

462
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: Sorry there, you got me so.

463
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 4: And then Don Lemon, who's admitted to doing some reconnaissance

464
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: for the group because he was embedded with them right

465
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 4: here he is on a follow up podcast interview Mike

466
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 4: number thirty seven.

467
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 8: And there's a certain degree of entitlement. I think people

468
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 8: who are you know, in the religious groups like that.

469
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 8: It's not the type of Christianity that I practice. But

470
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 8: I think that they're entitled and that that entitlement comes

471
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 8: from a supremacy, a white supremacy, oh my. And they

472
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 8: think that this country was built for them, that it

473
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 8: is a Christian country, when actually we left England because

474
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 8: we wanted religious freedom. It's religious freedom, but only if

475
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 8: you're a Christian, and only if you're a white male,

476
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 8: pretty much. And so yeah, I absolutely one hundred percent,

477
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 8: but it's an intimidation tactic. And you know, I said,

478
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 8: I don't understand how I've become the face of it

479
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 8: when I was a journalist. I do understand that I'm

480
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 8: the biggest name there, and I'm also as I was

481
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 8: on with my producers this morning, you know, you and

482
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 8: Kylie talk all the time. My producers were saying, I said,

483
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 8: how did I become the face of this? And my

484
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 8: producers at don you're a gay black man in America.

485
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: You were just a fair journalists trying to show people

486
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: was going on. You weren't. You didn't have a point

487
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: of view at all.

488
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: And the only reason derisions being poured upon you, you

489
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 4: human disease, is that you're a gay black man in

490
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 4: America that m hands like art, that was really good art,

491
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 4: and it probably actually believes that. Meanwhile, here's a white

492
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 4: woman protester talking to a black ice officer thirty.

493
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 9: Five Michael, without your mask.

494
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: And without your right Yes, that's enough, angry white woman.

495
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I can't take any more of their their their They're screeching.

496
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: Vast, educated, voiceless. I just can't. It's too great.

497
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: And Katie, it just reminded me of the seagulls from

498
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: finding Nemo. Blind blin blind bline.

499
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 3: That's all I heard. Yeah, no kidding, no kidding. Uh.

500
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: It also reminds me of and I'll keep this vague

501
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 4: to UH, to honor the confidence. But a friend of

502
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: mine is UH in a position to work with athletes,

503
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: quite good athletes who come from a variety of places

504
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: around the globe as well as the United States. And

505
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: an athlete from Venezuela has had a couple of people

506
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 4: walk up to her and sincerely apologize for the terrible

507
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 4: thing this country did to Menduro, and.

508
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: She has told both of them, are you out of

509
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: your minds? He was a cruel dictator. What do you

510
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: mean you're apologizing? He was the best thing that could

511
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: have possibly happened, and they are sent away going.

512
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: Oh uh uh bud i uh buh.

513
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Keep telling the brown people how to feel, you white ladies.

514
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: You're so wise, you're so smart, you're so fired up

515
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: by your professors. Keep telling the brown people how they

516
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: ought to feel and how they ought to act in

517
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: the name of equality. Oh my lord, you can't parody

518
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: these people.

519
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: I hate she leodies. Oh I hate Don Lemon too.

520
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: He's an evil human being.

521
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: I hate him.

522
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's hate speech right there. I know when I

523
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: hear it. Yeah. One more, here's one of the protesters

524
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: in church thirty six.

525
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where

526
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: are your people?

527
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: The house? Why are you not at Wimble every day

528
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: fighting for the humanity?

529
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: Stand your car people? Where are you? You drink your coffee,

530
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: you got your jewelry, you have your nice clothes. But

531
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: what do you do? What do you do to stand

532
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: up for your Somalia LaTaO communities.

533
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna comment.

534
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: You have to comment exactly you.

535
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: See pretense. Go ahead, Mike Jack.

536
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: Do you drink my coffee and have my nice clothes?

537
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: What do I do for the Somali population?

538
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: Probably not a lot. My jewelry.

539
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: I'm wearing a watch. We're one like once a week.

540
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: I'll take it off if you want see. What you

541
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: need to remember is and nobody talks about this, and

542
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: I won't waste much of your time. The pretense is

543
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: standing up for your what was it immigrant in Somali communities.

544
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: Those people, those activists, the hardcore activists, they don't care

545
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 4: about that. That's the pretense for tearing down Western civilization.

546
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 4: If it's not, that's why they're the same people who

547
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 4: are marching for transgender rights and saying similar things and

548
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: screeching into the same bullhorns. And then the next day

549
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: it's Gaza.

550
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: They're screeching into the bullhorns and screaming that it's all pretense.

551
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: They're all neo Marxists.

552
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: But as Marxists, going back to what was his name,

553
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: oh right, Marx knew and Lenin knew this. Certainly you

554
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: have to get the useful idiots to buy into the

555
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: pretext and think they're doing the right thing. Because we

556
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: few committed Marxists, we don't have enough of.

557
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: Us to effectively overthrow civilization in the way we'd like to.

558
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: So we've got to convince a bunch of soft heads

559
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: that they're doing the right thing.

560
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: That's what you're seeing on the street.

561
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 4: I'll quit wasting your time and we'll go back to

562
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: pretending that it's actually about immigration and ice.

563
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: So before we take a break, did you see what

564
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: I tweeted out in the middle of the night. I

565
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: was killing time scrolling?

566
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: Huh?

567
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Somebody answered the question if male dwarves took on female

568
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: elite athletes in a variety of contests.

569
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: Hmm, what contests is key here?

570
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: Weightlifting? The dwarves were much stronger than the twice their

571
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: size female athletes.

572
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 3: I don't know this has actually been like done or.

573
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I posted it on Twitter.

574
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: You didn't tell me there was a video. So somebody

575
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 4: held this enlightened contests.

576
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tweeted it out with finally this question has

577
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: been answered. They had a competition to see who was

578
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: stronger between tall, strong bodybuilder women and strong dwarfmen. The

579
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: dwarfmen easily crushed them, but they had one company.

580
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: But who's watched Lord of the Rings knew that was coming. Yes,

581
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: they had one.

582
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Competition where they were all in like a big circle

583
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: and it was just who could push who out of

584
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: the circle.

585
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: Like some of wrestling.

586
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: Really, yes, and very quickly all the women got pushed

587
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: out and it was just the dwarfs high five in

588
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: each other.

589
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: But there's a there's a leverage problem there, a center

590
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 4: of gravity problem.

591
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Is I actually felt like there is a great advantage

592
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: to be just being lower center of gravity.

593
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 4: Certainly. Yeah, every offensive lineman and football knows that. Did

594
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 4: they have sprints though in like distance races on the

595
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: gals for.

596
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: That they got a carrying thing where the girls carry

597
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: the dudes or the dudes carry the girls. That's interesting.

598
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what that competition is. And they have

599
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: like a race.

600
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: Ridiculous, that's what it is. I wonder if they.

601
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: Said it to music, they should have. We got more

602
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: on the way, stay here. So, according to the Wall

603
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: Street Journal's reporting, it's still on the table for us

604
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: to attack Iran, like really attack Iran like regime change

605
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: attacker in I think it's going to happen.

606
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: Oh, and I think this is the patient, calculating side

607
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 4: of Trump.

608
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: That some of us would like to see a little

609
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: more of.

610
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: Perhaps we'll see we'll talk about it next hour, or

611
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: some claim doesn't exist.

612
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's not true.

613
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't and sometimes it does. So this is a

614
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: growing conversation. It'll be interesting to see where we are

615
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: at generation from now on the idea of screen time

616
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: for kids. Here's a report from CBS News last night.

617
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 7: The Balance Project, a nonprofit with more than one hundred

618
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 7: and sixty chapters across the country focused on delaying the

619
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 7: use of smartphones for kids and encouraging more time with

620
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 7: friends and playing outside. Nonprofit also brings speakers to schools,

621
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 7: like Bethany Barton, who's teaching these kids jup iman overload

622
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 7: from their phone can make them feel angry, aggressive, and tired.

623
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 7: Is it realistic to teach this to kids? Can they

624
00:32:59,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 7: really so?

625
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: Limits?

626
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely.

627
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 6: I've found when we tell the kids the science behind

628
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 6: their brains, they're fascinated.

629
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 7: They're also advising scrutinizing the content kids consume. Steer clear

630
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 7: of the junk tech, the free apps and games that

631
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 7: don't have an end.

632
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: Instead search for natural sources of dopamine.

633
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting the idea that if you

634
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: teach kids this will hurt your brain. That seems to

635
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: mean something to them. That report left out my favorite part, though,

636
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: where the it was some school where they did not

637
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: allow they don't allow the kids to have phones, and

638
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: they were in a fifth grade classroom, Like, what's your

639
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: fifth grader doing with a phone? Anyway? In my opinion

640
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: and to each their own, but I.

641
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: Know you're a bad parent.

642
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty young, and they the reporter actually asked the parent,

643
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: what do you do if you need to get a

644
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: hold of your kid in the library. I wouldn't even

645
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: dignify that with an answer. I don't know what did

646
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: your mom do when she needed How often did your

647
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: mom need to get a hold of you at the

648
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: library when you were a kid? Let me see, let

649
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: me look back on my entire school career and never,

650
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: not one time? Or how about I give you forty

651
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: five seconds and you come up with an answer to

652
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: that question, and you're not going to need all forty

653
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: five or maybe you will. First of all, it never

654
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: happened once in my life. And if it did, then

655
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: it called the front office and said, you know, we

656
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: got an emergency or whatever the hell.

657
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: We gotta get holder right right?

658
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mentioned I never got to Jonathan Hat's unbelievable piece,

659
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: The Devil's Plan to ruin the Next Generation Maybe for

660
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 4: podcast I just I hope I live long enough to

661
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 4: see if this becomes like smoking and it just becomes

662
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 4: insane that your kid would have a cell phone ten

663
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 4: years from now.

664
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: I suspect that it will.

665
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: Part of the reason I'm a little more optimistic than

666
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: I used to be is I just saw a study

667
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: come out that almost two thirds of gen z now

668
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 4: intentionally unplugged.

669
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: They say, no, I got.

670
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 4: To set up aside part of my day to get

671
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: away from my phone because it's ruining my brain.

672
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: They are aware of it in a way that.

673
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'd buy this entirely, because I've always

674
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: bought you know, your analysis of this, which is that

675
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: people who've never known the quiet of I got nothing

676
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 4: to do. So I'm just gonna look at the birds

677
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: fly back and forth, will never seek it or value it.

678
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true or not. I yeah,

679
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm wrong.

680
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to be wrong about that.

681
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: It makes sense.

682
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: It sure doesn't make sense to me though, if you've

683
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: never ever.

684
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 3: Stood in line at the airport where you all just.

685
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: Look around, because that's the way it was our whole lives.

686
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean trying to picture that being a TSA in

687
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: a line or wherever you're doing waiting for takeoff, and

688
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: you're just looking around, just looking reading a book or

689
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: talking to someone or whatever. It seems crazy now.

690
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: About seventy percent of to Americans, seventy percent of the

691
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: time Americans spend online and leaves them feeling disconnected and

692
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: lonely rather than genuinely connected. Also high numbers of being overwhelmed, ancient,

693
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 4: and irritable. And I think the youngsters are catching on

694
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: to that. I certainly hope so well, that'd be good news.

695
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: So we do a lot of segments and hours too many, probably,

696
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: but if you can't catch them all, you should catch
