00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty, Armstrong and Jetide

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: and now he Armstrong and Jetty a man who craves

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: leisure donated fifty dollars. That's Joe's line. That's pretty fun. Yes,

5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: I am that. More on the fundraiser for Scouts a

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: little bit later, go to Armstrong in getty dot com.

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Did you know that Barack Obama was in office the

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: last time we've been this late in the NFL season

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: without a single division locked up, It's been over. It's

10
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: been a decade since we've been this late in the

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: NFL season three weeks ago without a single division locked up,

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: and some of the most consequential games in ten years

13
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend in terms of regular season football.

14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you a little bit about that if

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: you're at all a fan, or you if you're like

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: me and you kind of joined late in the season

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: and figure out what you know, what's exciting? Tonight's game

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: is huge, like really huge. But more on that later. Okay,

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: great exciting. So I think we're all aware of dynamic pricing,

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: particularly if we use like Uber Left or one of

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: those ride shares. So we understand that, you know, when

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: the football game's getting out, it's going to be more

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: expensive to get yourself ride than you know, two o'clock

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: and your average Tuesday afternoon. But it's much more widespread,

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: much more sophisticated than I think a lot of us thought.

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: We were all shocked when Wendy started doing this and

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I got a like, well, they talked about it. I

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: got it like a twelve dollars Hamburger at six o'clock

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: one time, really.

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Because they denied that they ever implemented it. M I

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: don't think that them is always twelve dollars. So there's

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: a little editorializing in this article. But for instance, the

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: word shady here. Instagram has been using a shady AI

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: algorithm that charges different prices to I'm sorry, instacart, different

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: prices do different customers on the same grocery item in

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: the same stores without telling them, according to a new

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: study released by Consumer Reports and another organization earlier this week,

38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: at a Target store in North Kanton, Ohio, for example,

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: the popular grocery app charged one customer two ninety nine

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 2: for Skippy Creamy peanut butter I eat organic peanut butter

41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: because I'm better than you, but eat your skippy if

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: you musk and.

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't like creamy. I like the nuts, I like

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: lots of peanuts in my peanut butter. I do enjoy

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the crunchy myself.

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so one customer got charged two ninety nine, while

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: other instacrt users paid as much as three point fifty

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: nine for the same jar picked up from the same

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: location the same day, the study found. And my question,

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: of course is how did the algorithm decide? What did

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: it use to decide to charge more to some people?

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: Will?

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: We will get to that in a minute. Let me

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: hit you with a couple more examples. It's not just instacart.

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: So called dynamic pricing practices have been used by the

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: ride shares Las Vegas, convenience stores, children's museums and zoos,

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: and even your local grocery stores. Whole foods, Amazon Fresh,

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: and Kroger have already rolled out electronic price tags that

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: allow workers to raise shelf prices in a matter of minutes,

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: and Walmart said it's planning to add the tags two

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: thousands of stores by twenty twenty six, so you can

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: change prices on a you know, a pound of flour

63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: or whatever minute to minute if you want.

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Wow, and you could factor in so many different things

65
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: including price elasticity that you know, fank giving morning. Somebody

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: getting some flour off the shelf means they really made

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: a mistake and some flower bad and you can charge

68
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: more for it. Yeah, that's a great example.

69
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: Well, businesses have always adjusted prices to find the highest

70
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: amounts of customer will fork over like in a broad way. Now,

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, advanced algorithms, massive troves of user data are

72
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: allowing companies to be more exacting than ever quote. The

73
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: problem isn't that companies across multiple industries are using AI

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: for dynamic pricing or even surging surging pricing. The problem

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: is more around transparency and trust. According to this consumer advocate,

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: Now we all have benefited from some variable pricing, like

77
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: discounts when you buy in bulk at Costco allows you

78
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: to compare Amazon prices to other retailers online, save money

79
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: on a plane, tickets and vacations if you book off season,

80
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. But they say the problem arises

81
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: when data collection and algorithms are used without customers knowledge.

82
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: Ah, I feel like there needs to be a different

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: category for some of these things.

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: Different levels of objectionable. Yeah yeah, wait, here's a for example,

85
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: the Justice Department just settled the case against real estate

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: tech firm real Page, which I've never heard of, but

87
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: which allegedly used completely sensitive information that's a quote to

88
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 2: jack up rents for tenants. So they would dive into

89
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: all the data they could get and figure out how

90
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: much money you got, But why are and whether they

91
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: can jack up your rent three hundred dollars instead of

92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: two hundred for the guy next door?

93
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: But how is this much unless they obtained the information illegally?

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: How is this much different than you buy a car

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: and the guy sizes you up when you walk on

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: the lot, He looks at what you drove, he looks

97
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: at the way you're dressed. Maybe he makes some small

98
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: talk and figures out what you do for a living,

99
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: and you know, strikes a bargain based on that. What's

100
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: the difference? And that's what car dealers always do, by

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: the way, and the most.

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: Brilliant descriptions of Freedman was terrific at this Milton Freedman,

103
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: the most brilliant descriptions about the free market emphasize the

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: fact that it's an exchange of information. You can instantaneously

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: know how much willing people are willing to pay for something,

106
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: how much they're willing to sell something for, and that

107
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: information moves at lightning speed through the market. It's all

108
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: about information. It's tough to fault somebody for.

109
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: And again, the.

110
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: Surveillance state pervasiveness of this is a little creepy, and

111
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: the secrecy is creepy. But if I walk into a

112
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: store and my neighbor, poor Jim, who we were joking

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: about earlier, walk into a store and they scan me

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: and say, this dude's here for stakes.

115
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna pay whatever the stakes cost.

116
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: Poor Jim over there may not buy a steak at

117
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: all if it's too high. So we're gonna stick Joe

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: and let Jim skate a little easier.

119
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could complain about that, really,

120
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: people do jack.

121
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Furious New Yorkers, for instance, have blasted the slot timeballs

122
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: that's a quote of Uber and Lyft for hiking prices

123
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: when subway lines are shut down during brainstorms, reportedly charging

124
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: eighty dollars for a ten minute ride to work.

125
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: That's a little different. How so, oh I guess it's not.

126
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's not. Well, I guess really, you know,

127
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the more I think about it, no, it's not. It's

128
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: no different than the charging more because the football game

129
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: just got out.

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well here's well right, Yeah, here's a head

131
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: scratcher than a wtffor. People have been reporting being charged

132
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: higher Uber fares when using a personal credit card instead

133
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: of a corporate one. I don't know why that would be.

134
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: I would seems like the office. Yeah, I would expect scratcher.

135
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: Here's the wtfor advocacy group. Consumer watchdogs suggested and report

136
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: a report that Uber might charge users more if they

137
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: have low phone batteries. The idea seeming to be the

138
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: customers are more likely to pay high prices when they're desperate.

139
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Oh, the company denies this. I feel like this is

140
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: being pitched to dumb people that don't understand the free

141
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: market in terms of being you know, this is something

142
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: you should be angry about. What this is pretty much

143
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: every interaction I've ever had when you're trying to buy something. Now,

144
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, it'd be new that prices change on the

145
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: store shelves on a minute by minute basis, but for

146
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: bigger items, the items that cost more that put more

147
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: of a dent in your in your net worth. It's

148
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: always been that way. I mean, that's the whole selling

149
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: a car, they size you up. Or if I'm selling

150
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: a car, I get a sense from the guy, you

151
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: know what he can afford, how desperate he is, and

152
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: you know how desperate am I to make the sale?

153
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: Or am I willing to wait and see who else

154
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: I can get. I mean, all those interactions are going

155
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: on all the time, right.

156
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: I think people are a little offended by the information

157
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: imbalance because you know, you work that out through negotiation.

158
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to haggle with the cashier over the

159
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: price of my grapes and my you know whatever, paper towel.

160
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: They have much more information than I do. And if

161
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: they're charging the guy next to me, literally, the guy

162
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: next to me five dollars less for a steak than they.

163
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Are me, it pisses people off. Yeah. I don't know

164
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: if it should, but it does.

165
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: Cash registers at convenience stores in Las Vegas Casinos had

166
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: been raising the price of bottled waters, flavored drinks, sunscreen,

167
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: and candy, et cetera on a daily and even hourly basis.

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes leaving the cashiers just as surprised as the.

169
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Customers at the price. So we were at Caesar's Palace

170
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and we got there kind of late, and we were eating,

171
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and this is like ten o'clock at night, and we

172
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: were all just so thirsty. For some reason. I said,

173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I'll get three bottled waters. She said, that's thirty three dollars.

174
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I said, thirty three dollars for three bottled waters. She said, yeah,

175
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: they're nine to fifty piece. I said, we'll drink, we'll

176
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: find a fountain somewhere, we'll pass. And I wonder if

177
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: that was some sort of dynamic pricing. Are drinking and

178
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: been smoking cigarettes all day long, it's late at night,

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: they're thirsty, they don't pay anything. That had to be

180
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: dynamic pricing. There's no way at ten o'clock in the

181
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: morning they're charging ten bucks for a bottled water. I

182
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: don't know.

183
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you wouldn't think. I've got some more

184
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: examples that are really interesting. Afterword from our friends at

00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,120

211
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: think of this, but I've done it before, like dealing

212
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: with a car individual ort a car lot. Hey, how

213
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: you doing? You know, Okay, it's been a rough year,

214
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: but I need a car. You know, I'm not gonna

215
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: come up happy and do it well. You know, my

216
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: kid needs a liver and all these different things.

217
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: Wow wow, oh so more than they've got dozens of attractions,

218
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: children's museums, zoos aquariums. They use the software provider digit

219
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: x to power dynamic pricing based on everything from weather

220
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: to capacity constraints, and even Google Analytics search patterns. During

221
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: the week of June eight, for instance, the Seattle Aquarium

222
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: offered out of state adult admission prices as low as

223
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: thirty seven to ninety five for dates later in the month,

224
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: and as much as forty six ninety five for walking

225
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: tickets that week.

226
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: See that just sounds like flat out free market capitalism.

227
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: I got no problem with yeah, as opposed to if

228
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: the airlines somehow are getting my information, because I don't

229
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: want any of my information out there. But you know,

230
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: like the agreements K Katie was reading last hour, Sometimes

231
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: you sign up for Netflix or whatever you're signed up for,

232
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: and they get to snatch all your information. You got

233
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: no choice. But if the airlines you know, are getting information,

234
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't want them to have and charging me based

235
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: on they know how much money I make, how much

236
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I spend, I pay off my credit card every month,

237
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah whatever these I don't like that.

238
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 2: I don't want them to have that information to start with. Well, yeah,

239
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: but you see you clicked on.

240
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, you know, I don't know. We got

241
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: to work that out somehow.

242
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: Because I know the airlines for the app users say,

243
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: for instance, hey, Joe's not real price sensitive, so let's

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: show him a Let's go ahead and show him that

245
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: higher price.

246
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: See if he clicks.

247
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: If not, maybe maybe we loadered a little bit when

248
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: he comes back. And so I've heard you should not

249
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: sign in, you should clear your cookies. But I have

250
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: so many subscriptions, so many things. Yeah, I don't want

251
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: to clear my cookies. Too much of a pain in

252
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: the butt.

253
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: Definitely, any thoughts on this text line four two nine

254
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: five KFTC and one of the most consequential regular season

255
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: NFL games in a decade tonight I can tell you

256
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: about that and other things on the way.

257
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: By rec We don't know how this raccoon got there.

258
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: It was quite a large raccoon driving there as this

259
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 4: thing was grawling, kissing, scratching when it gets really coolse

260
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: not uncommon to get these calls for raccoons. They did

261
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: all the right things. They got medical care for the

262
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: person that got bit. He was taken to the hospital,

263
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: and I felt like I owed that to the person

264
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: that got bit, because his entire process for his treatment

265
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: relies basically solely on we get the salem or not.

266
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: That was a nice restaurant where a raccoon fell through

267
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: the ceiling and then bit a guest.

268
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: So beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Yeah, really nice looking restaurant too.

269
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: You don't expect to be attacked by wild beasts at

270
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: that sort of establishment.

271
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: How is dinner not dressed for it? For one thing? Well,

272
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: the gnocchi was a little soft and raccoon fell out

273
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: the ceiling and bit me in the neck. Good wine

274
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: list though, although somebody tried to grab the raccoon, I guess,

275
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: and that's when they got bit. Don't try to grab

276
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: a raccoon, jeez. Louise so raising money for Scouts this

277
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: week so more kids can join up the Scouts if

278
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the family doesn't have the money to do it. And

279
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I love doing that. And we'll get to a total

280
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: a little bit later now, hoping it had one hundred

281
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars by the time we get off

282
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: the air today. Can we do it? It's not gonna

283
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: be easy. It's a tough one. May may have my

284
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: eyes might be bigger than my stomach or whatever. The

285
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: right saying would be had some good donations, give the

286
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: beavers a chance in for fifty dollars, right, Planet of

287
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: the Beavers, We've had our chance. We blew it. Fifty

288
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: dollars from the ghost of Jack's rooster. That's right. I

289
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: shot a rooster because it bit my son. Oh oh,

290
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: blasted that things to smithereens because I jumped on my

291
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: son's back. And this is my favorite one hundred and

292
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: fifty bucks from it insists upon itself is one of

293
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: my favorite land lines from Family Guy. So the huge

294
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: in imitation of a pretentious reviewer. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. This

295
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: week's NFL slate is unlike any other and almost a

296
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: decade for the first time since Barack Obama was president.

297
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: We ain't gotten nobody who's locked up the division yet,

298
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting. Part of it is because

299
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: last the participants in last year's Super Bowl, one of

300
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: them's out and the other one could be, which is

301
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time that happened. Dynasties are

302
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: good for sports, they just are. It brings in a

303
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: lot more people, and then that brings in people to

304
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: hate on the dynasty or whatever. But it looks like

305
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs dynasty might be over and saying he got

306
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of new teams. Huge game.

307
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: You notice Star Wars didn't have Darth Vader on screen

308
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: for ten minutes then he was gone.

309
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: You need a villain, you need a hero, you need

310
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: a villain. Sure, rams Seahawks tonight, listen to what is

311
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: at stake with this game all You wouldn't even think

312
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: that this could possibly happen. There's only three weeks left

313
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: in the season. It's not your older siblings Thursday Night Games,

314
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: says NBC News. What used to be a dumping ground

315
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: for the league's less than elite matchups is now one

316
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: of the most important games in several years. Rams Seahawks

317
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: playing for the second time. The winner will not only

318
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: be first place in the division, but first place in

319
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: the NFC full stop, so you could have home field

320
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: advantage all the way through to go into the Super Bowl.

321
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: The loser will be in fifth place at best and

322
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: enter a jumbled mess of whether or not they make

323
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Wow. So that's tonight's game, Rams Hawks. So

324
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: that's kind of fun. Wow, it's going to have me.

325
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, my beloved forty nine ers are watching all of

326
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 2: this with great interest as they are already in that jumble,

327
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: but could win their way into the top and get

328
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: that buy all the way through the playoffs.

329
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: It's that close all across the NFL. It's fun. Do

330
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: they have Saturday games?

331
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: This?

332
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: Are we to the point where you start having Saturday

333
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: and Sunday games?

334
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

335
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: I think this Saturday. Oh, I love that. That's the

336
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: best time of the NFL.

337
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: L to games too. I think Bears Packers is that right? Yeah,

338
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: that's your localists.

339
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: Bears Packers is one of the other super big ones,

340
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: and Buccaneers Panthers. So those are your three super important

341
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: games for the whole playoff picture. So let's get a

342
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: total lone scouting gladys, can you roll the drums for

343
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: US one hundred and sixteen thirty four dollars? So there

344
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: you go. We started with an original goal to fifty

345
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: early in the week, moved it to one hundred. Blue

346
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: pass that we're at one sixteen. Would love to get

347
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: to one fifty. A little later in the show, Joe's

348
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: going to get as trombone. I will get out the

349
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: footbal and we'll try to raise some with our fiddle

350
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: trombone duet that people love so much.

351
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: What is a high school club in northern California have

352
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: to do with the murder of Jews?

353
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: We'll explain Armstrong and Geddy. Hold home, how y'all doing.

354
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Ever since we had the conversation about cash for presents,

355
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: all the pressure's off for me. I'm going cash for

356
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: presents this year. I can't wait to tell my kids.

357
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be thrilled at their current age. Wow, okay,

358
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: glad to be of help. Yeah, I think they're gonna

359
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: love it.

360
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 2: I suggested a stack of twenties in a band, like

361
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: it's a bank robbery movie or you know you're a

362
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: drug dealer, but you know, however you choose to present

363
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: it is up to you, certainly. Yeah, So Katie brought

364
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: to us a brief version of a story from a

365
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: high school not far from the radio ranch, in fact,

366
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: when I used to drive past over and over and

367
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: over again. Why don't you go ahead and hit us

368
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: with the basics, Katie, and then I'll fill you in

369
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: on what's happening now.

370
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Well.

371
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 3: A student led conservative club at twelve Bridges High School

372
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: in Lincoln, California is facing some controversy, with some students

373
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: accusing it of spreading hate and others defending it as.

374
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: A platform for civil dialogue.

375
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 3: They just had a meeting this week where there were

376
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: sixty speakers addressing the issue. Some associates said that the club,

377
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: which is associated with Turning Point USA, foster's division and

378
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: hate among students, while others emphasize the importance of civil

379
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: dialogue and healthy disagreement. One member of the club said,

380
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 3: since our first meeting, my friends and I have been

381
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: verbally harassed, both in person and online, and it's extremely discouraging,

382
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: especially since we have felt unsafe all with the threats

383
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: that have also been made towards us.

384
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: So you've got a student who created a petition that

385
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: the club should be removed from campus, said it has

386
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: over three hundred signatures. Free speech is allowed to everybody,

387
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 2: says this student, but that does not cover hate speech.

388
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: We respect everybody where, you respect the officers, but we

389
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: wish that we had respect for our family and for

390
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: our identities. Okay, this is a beautiful example of a

391
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: couple of things. Number One, the Heckler's veto. In effect,

392
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: that group fosters a division in the school. Okay, so

393
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: the division is they have a right to be there,

394
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: but you don't like it. That's a you problem, that's

395
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: not a them problem. Little snowflakes. And I'm not going

396
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: to use anybody's names in this because at the oldest

397
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 2: they're probably eighteen, and certainly i'd much much rather discuss

398
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: principles with people. I don't need to bring any inconvenience

399
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: or harassment down on any actually young human beings. This

400
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: is an example of people on the left accepting the

401
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: worst narratives they've heard about a perfectly legitimate group than

402
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: claiming without evidence that they are horrible people that they

403
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: are engaged in, for instance, hate speech. Do not see

404
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: the evidence that any of these kids on campus engaged

405
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: in any hate speech or indeed that any reasonable person

406
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: would think turning point USA does. The problem is on

407
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: the left, you label everything you don't like as hate speech.

408
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: Right, their metric for what's hate speech is different for

409
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: stuff on the right than it is for on the left. Obs. Yeah, obviously. Yeah.

410
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: It's like if you want to take something over, you

411
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: call it racist until you are in charge of it,

412
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: because everybody backs down.

413
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Well, we've seen the examples over the last couple of years.

414
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: You can say from the river to the sea all

415
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: day long, and nobody calls that hate speech.

416
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: Right right, which it clearly is. And by the way,

417
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: I'm going to tie this to the murder of Jews

418
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: in just a minute. But the mayor of Beautiful Lincoln, California,

419
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 2: was the inaugural speaker at the club's first meeting. She

420
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: became a focal point of the discussion after an edited

421
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: video of hers speaking to the students circulated online carefully

422
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: carefully edited, and I have her. She wrote a piece

423
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: for the local newspaper explaining herself.

424
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: And how it was.

425
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: I've heard criticism suggesting that public schools are not appropriate

426
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: places to discuss certain topics, which is hilarious. In California,

427
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: where they're required to incorporate radical gender theory into like

428
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: every class, and critical race theory and the rest of it.

429
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: But she points out this was a voluntary student led

430
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: club that had followed absolutely every single rule of the

431
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: school district in California's equal access laws and the rest

432
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: of it. The school allows non academic clubs, LGBTQ clubs

433
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: for black students, Hispanic students, whatever, but conservative students is

434
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: absolutely not acceptable according to the loud little self righteous flakes.

435
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: And she talks about her presentation, these students were largely respectful.

436
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: My message focused on faith, understanding what you believe in,

437
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: why you believe it, having the courage to stand by

438
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: your convictions, and recognizing the differences in belief or opinion

439
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: do not equate to hatred.

440
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta shut that down. Surely.

441
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: During the Q and A portion, protesting students were given

442
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: the first opportunity to ask questions and in fact dominated

443
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: the discussion. Ugh, that is so typical. They went there

444
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: to dominate the meeting and try to shut it down.

445
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: Many questions centered on statements attributed to Charlie Kirk or

446
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: turning Point USA. I repeatedly clarified that I was not

447
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: giving my own personal views to those questions, but rather

448
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: responding to questions about what mister Kirk had publicly stated,

449
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 2: while encouraging students to seek full context and make up

450
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: their minds. After the meeting, I learned that a student

451
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 2: had recorded me without authorization and later told classmates he

452
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: intended to use the video quote to take me down.

453
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: It was quickly distributed to media outlets, including the Sacramento

454
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: b which is a shameless former newspaper. It was heavily

455
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: edited and stripped of context, creating the false impressions that

456
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: I said things I did not saying, grossly misrepresenting both

457
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: my intent and character. You know, I I gotta tip

458
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: my cap to California schools. You are teaching the kids, well,

459
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: they have really learned the art of crushing free speech,

460
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: of demonizing anybody who disagrees with them and trying to

461
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: humiliate them publicly.

462
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: They learned. I understand how young people come to this

463
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: idea that this might be a good thing. One of

464
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: my intellectual heroes, Christopher Hitchins, used to tell the story

465
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: about how when he was at Oxford and he was

466
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: a student, he and some other like minded students shut

467
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: down a conservative speaker they didn't like. They somehow got

468
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: into the electronics and turn off the microphone or something

469
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: like that, and they just thought that was fantastic. But

470
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: when he got older, he realized that's the exact opposite

471
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: of what we should do and decried that the rest

472
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: of his life. If you beat their idea with your ideas,

473
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: the Heckler's veto is the worst thing that we can have.

474
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: We got to have free speech, et cetera, et cetera.

475
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: So I can understand how kids could come to that idea.

476
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: The fact that adults go along with it is amazing.

477
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: Right right, And she gives several more examples of just

478
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: brutal editing and context clearing.

479
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: So she appears to call M. L.

480
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 2: King Junior a Marxist and appears to make statements about

481
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: a black pilot that she did not say. It's absolutely

482
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: outrageous and ugly and vicious, and it's so out of

483
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: the same catalog of demonizing Jews and making up, you know,

484
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: various blood libels and ridiculous stories and preaching hatred toward

485
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: them without having a good conversation, without asking, hey, what's

486
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: this is it true?

487
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: What's your point of view? On this.

488
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: It's the viciousness of the mob, the angry mob going

489
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: after conservative students. It's the opposite of education. It's the

490
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: opposite of the exchange of ideas. It's a horror that

491
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: any school would permit it to happen like this. You

492
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: need to step in right now, twelve Bridges High School

493
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: in Lincoln, California, and teach the kids what the free

494
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: exchange of ideas is about. That's what you're there for.

495
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: And be very, very very careful what you call hate speech.

496
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: By the way, the kids at this club have been harassed,

497
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: threatened online docks through fake accounts, and targeted simply for

498
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: participating in lawful student club. Students have the right to protest,

499
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: they do not have the right to intimidate or harass others.

500
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: Lincoln School District, how hard are you working to figure

501
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: out who is docsing and harassing kids? That's Bruce, I'm

502
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: one hundred percent certain you have an anti online bullying protocol.

503
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: Of course, do you enforce it now? Get started now?

504
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: Well, imagine if somebody was harassing a trans kid on

505
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: that me a completely different story.

506
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: Tell you what the left is a mob of angry monsters?

507
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: Oh you don't think that's true.

508
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: I would take a look at the angry monsters amongst

509
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: you and tell them, hey, that's not cool. It's not

510
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 2: in my power to stop leftists from being angry mobsters,

511
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, the angry members of a mob.

512
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: But it is in yours. Maybe you get started again.

513
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: Today would be a good time. So I got a

514
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: number of things out there that have been shipped, and

515
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm hoping they get to various places on time,

516
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: and so I get emails all the time your UPS

517
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: package has been delayed. It'd be so easy to click

518
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: on one of those because I actually have stuff, you know,

519
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: going through EPs vacsation. A lot of them are fake

520
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: though they're fishing emails. In this time of year, they

521
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: spike because the bad guys out there. Cybercrime spikes during

522
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: the holidays because they know you're running around. You got

523
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: lots stuff shipp and it's that sort of thing. This

524
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: is when you need Webroot more than ever to protect you.

525
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: Webroot gives you real time anti virus, a built in

540
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Hey.

541
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: One more note on the Lincoln story. This the mayor

542
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: of Lincoln who spoke to the group. She talked to

543
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: Sacramento Bee reporter Jenna Pendleton, who is an Dalton. I

544
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: will name her and explain the context of several quotes

545
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: where she was not representing her own views. They asked her,

546
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: why would Charlie Kirk say this? And she said, well,

547
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: he might have meant blah blah blah. She clarified that

548
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: context to the Bee reporter. That clarification was omitted from

549
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: the final coverage and the Bee contributing to a misleading narrative.

550
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people haven't figured this out. If

551
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: you overreach, it does you more harm than good. If

552
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: your enemies are as bad as you claim, you should

553
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: be able to do them in with their actual words.

554
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: You don't need to like leave stuff out or take

555
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: it out of context or make stuff up. It was

556
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: like the BBC editing that documentary about Trump Ifa. Trump's

557
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: as bad as you say is and he's pretty crazy.

558
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: Just use his own stuff. You don't need to edit it.

559
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: In such a way that it's completely a lie, right right,

560
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: everybody overreaches or somewhere going sure is a deep, deep

561
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: blue town no matter how red your town is. Within

562
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: your town, it's your local schools. Yeah, no kidding, that's

563
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: worth thinking about. We got more on the way if

564
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: you got any comments on that text line FOURFTC.

565
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: And finally, in honor of the holiday season, McDonald's today

566
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: offered customers an egg McMuffin for two dollars. If you're

567
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: wondering what that has to do with the holidays, The

568
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: oil will last for eight nights, So it was, uh,

569
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: which sandwich did they get for two dollars. Michael McMuffin. Oh, McMuffin,

570
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: that's a pretty decent sandwich. I haven't had one of

571
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: those sausage cheese. I don't like those good I don't

572
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: think of it as particularly oily. No, I don't either. Well,

573
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: he's a a New York elitist who's gonna mock what we,

574
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the regular people, like to eat. I don't approve raising

575
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: money for the Scouts, then I want to ask us

576
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: all about our grade for the Gladys's Chip Jar. Gladys's

577
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Tip Jar was in for forty dollars to help out Scouts,

578
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: help more kids be able to join Scouts, to cover

579
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: the couple hundred dollars it costs to get started twenty

580
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: five dollars from cat Pervert. What was that? I don't

581
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: remember that story. We got a clipper on that, Katie.

582
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember that one? Heg zets don't Hegzev's double

583
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: tap for one hundred bucks two hundred and fifty dollars

584
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: from Jack's Giraffe. Appreciate that? Oh you know what? We

585
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: never did pay off.

586
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: The discussion yesterday about why I've changed my mind a

587
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: bit on releasing the videotape okay, because the point was made.

588
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: I can't remember where I read it, but that it's

589
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: much much longer than I was picturing. It's not just

590
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: kerk blue. And then you see the smoke clearer than

591
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: guys on the wreckage than kerk blue. Again, it's I

592
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: don't know how long it is, but I could picture

593
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: it in including a fair amount of dialogue and I

594
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe even information on the screen or whatever.

595
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: I know what all's on it. Do you have any

596
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: idea how some people saw it and said it was

597
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: the most horrific thing they've seen in public life, and

598
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: some people saw it and said it looks like all

599
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: the other videos.

600
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: To me, I don't believe them for a minute, which

601
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: I take nothing from that description, you know what I do.

602
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: I respect Tom Cotton, and.

603
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: He might be you know, edging his comments a little bit,

604
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: hedging his comments a little bit, but the Democrat was saying,

605
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: it's one of the most shocking things I've ever seen

606
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: in my life. There are a lot of things in

607
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: warfare that are horrifying, especially if you're not used to them.

608
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: That just didn't mean anything to me. Back to the

609
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: donating to Scouting got one hundred dollars from a decent human.

610
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I like that. That's a good moniker

611
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: for yourself. You're just a decent human giving money to

612
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: a good outfit or a couple left. So let's get

613
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: a total glass roll your little drum roll. There you go.

614
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: She wears the cool little rock and roll gloves like

615
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: you're a rock and roll drummer, the fingerless gloves like

616
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: drummers have, and then she twirls her sticks with both hands,

617
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. Very Tommy Lee like, here's our total,

618
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty thousand dollars, two hundred and twenty two bucks.

619
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. I shot my mouth off yesterday and said

620
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,040

634
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: did this at the Christmas party yesterday. I went around

635
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: and ask everybody what they're raide was for the year.

636
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Was just asking business wise? I don't I think I

637
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: just think for us. How about just life wise? What's

638
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: your grade for the year for your life? Michael? Your

639
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: life this year? How was it compared to other years?

640
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: You got to compare to other years? You can't use

641
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: like some starving kid in Africa or obviously you have

642
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: an A. God, That's what I was gonna go with.

643
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: I'd say overall a B plus, A B plus. Yeah,

644
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: that's good, Katie. I'm gonna go a minus. Okay, you

645
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: got pregnant this year. I did.

646
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: Not easy though not easy, A lot of good, lot

647
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: of rough, So we'll.

648
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: Go a minus. Okay, cool, Hanson, what do you give

649
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: your grade for the year for your life?

650
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 4: A C?

651
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: Wow, Hanson coming into C. But that's not inflated grades C.

652
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: That's that's like just average year old school C. Yeah.

653
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: I guess see, I don't know if there's a story

654
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: behind that or what I remember. Uh well, i'll give

655
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: my grade. I would be probably a B plus a

656
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: minus B plus in there. I don't know why I don't.

657
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is about my personality. I

658
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: have a I. I regularly say negative things and have

659
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: a negative outlook, but like for my own life, I

660
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: always think things are fine and gonna be okay. I

661
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: don't know why that is. And uh, other than the year,

662
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: my wife don't mean which I think I gave that

663
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: year a D or and F. I'm usually at a

664
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: B plus or a minus rough one.

665
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: Well, if that doesn't get you a D for your year,

666
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: exactly exacting in the grave, and then you can't say

667
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: what your grade is. Uh yeah, I've got you know,

668
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: it's funny. I've got to review the year in my head.

669
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: I gotta go a minus. It's been lovely in a

670
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: lot of ways. Some challenges and sadness and you know,

671
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: a little setback here and there, but overall, yeah, it's

672
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: it's it's been.

673
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: A pretty good year personally. Yeah, but your your personality

674
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: would you ever go much lower than an A A minus?

675
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Probably probably not. Well, it depends what happens. I suppose,

676
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: all right, you know the wife dumping you thing like

677
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned. That's that's a tough one. Well, yeah, I mean, well,

678
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: there are a number of things that could happen. If

679
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: I lost my job and a tornado took my house,

680
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: I suppose that'd be a lower grade.

681
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: Well, I don't understand your question. Would I ever go

682
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: below a B minus? Yes?

683
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: If I got side gotten.

684
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: Used to lost the use of my legs, yes I would.

685
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: What kind of question is that outside of an extraordinary currence?

686
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: Because you you said, Hanson c was just kind of

687
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: like your old fashioned graving, kind of an average year.

688
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Well you're so, is your average year in A.

689
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely in your your solid B. If I was

690
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: to average out a bunch of years, yeah, something like that.

691
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: I feel like my average year is like a B

692
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: plus or A minus. I don't know what that means. Yea,

693
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: Hanson's a tough grader, he is you are a tough grater, Hanson.

694
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, maybe he needs to get on the air

695
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: and spill his guts and maybe, you know, maybe it's

696
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: your abuse that kept it from.

697
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: Being a B. I don't know the guy caused it

698
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: to be a C.

699
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm just asking the here here. I learned this from Tucker.

700
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm just asking questions. I'm not tacitly accusing people of things.
