1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: and and he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Then Daya's here and Dana you were incredible in Dune.

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I woke up for all of your scenes.

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: You are so good. And Challengers Girl, Oh my god,

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: it was so good. I mean that movie was more

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: sexually charged than Diddy's Credit Card. I mean, seriously. Oh no, no,

9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: I know, I'm sorry. I'm upset to the after party

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: is not going to be as good.

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: This year, but we have to move on. I know

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: what Stanley.

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: Tucci freakoff just doesn't have the same ring to it.

14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: But no baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So comedian Nicki Glazer hosting the Golden Globes, which

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: you didn't watch last night, which is a precursor to

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: the Oscars, which.

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: You will not watch. I'm not at gunpoint, but the whole.

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: P Diddy thing, everybody there in the audience probably knew

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: what was going on at those parties, maybe had friends

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: who went, and similar to Harvey Weinstein, they all just

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: kept their mouth shut because that's the way that industry is.

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I guess, at the risk.

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: Of going off on a time consuming tangent, I think

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 4: the takeaway from this those jokes, and she's a comedian.

26
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: She makes jokes about things including uncomfortable maybe you know,

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: imply chokes, which is fine.

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Not too many years ago, if.

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: You were to ask a co worker out right, or

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: you were out for drinks and said, you know, we

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: ought to get coffee sometime, I really enjoy talking to you.

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: You were a monster.

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: How dare you use your male patriarchal privilege or power

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: or something something vague something You're part of rape culture,

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 4: believe all women, believe all women something something, And now

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: a guy who was sanctioning and enforcing rape after rape

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 4: is a punchline that everybody giggles at, you know, kind

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 4: of uncomfortably, but they're giggling.

39
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: I think to take.

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 4: Away is the woke Hollywood passion of the moment is

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: just fine to mock and ignore.

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: It's just fine.

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of witch thinking of things to be speaking

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: of things to be mocked and ignored. I will tell you,

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: just to establish my bona fides as a reporter on

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: this story, the Surgeon General Vivek Mercy out with a

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: warning that alcohol, any consumption of alcohol, is a cancer risk,

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: and there should be warnings on the labels, and beware, beware, beware.

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I am a drinking man.

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: I enjoy the pleasures of alcohol on a reg basis,

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: a daily basis, more or less, although I've been sober

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: for the best part of a week just to reset

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: the body and the mind, and so I am very,

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: very curious. I like it a great deal. Actually, yeah,

55
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: I don't look at it as not drinking. I look

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: at it as sobriety and the opportunity to do different

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: things in different ways and just let my poor liver

58
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: rest for a minute. Ever since my upbringing in the eighties,

59
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: playing rock and roll and everything, there were drugs everywhere,

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: and drugs on campus like crazy. And I always queue

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 4: to the philosophy of know what you're putting in your

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: body and and be smart about it. Don't be the

63
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: moro on who just takes something because somebody offered it

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: to you. And alcohol is the same way. I'm really

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: curious to know the good and bad of alcohol, So

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: I dug into this.

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Here's what you need to.

68
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: The good is people are less boring and everybody's hotter.

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: That's the good.

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Oh, and I don't hate being here, not here there.

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: Right.

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: The good of alcohol is I don't hate this gathering

73
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: near as much as I would if I didn't have alcohol.

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: I see Jesus at the right hand of God way

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: back in the day saying, hey, hey, boss, what are

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: we going to do their? Dad? Dad? What are we

77
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: going to do for the introverts? There anything we can

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: do for well? I suppose we could make it so

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: that when when fruit fermented, it made you feel less angsty.

80
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: That's funny.

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: A friend of mine who's doing dry January had a

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: big social gathering they had to go to and make

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: texted me, this is so boring it's killing.

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Anyway. Where will we ah?

85
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: Yes, the Search in general, So, the Search in General

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: said alcoholic beverages should carry cancer warnings to increase awareness.

87
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: The drinks are the leading cause of preventable cancers. Are

88
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: a leading cause. I should say that would take it

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 4: back to Congress, But he said in his statement, alcohol

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: is a well established preventable cause of cancer, responsible for

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: about one hundred thousand CAUs cases of cancer and twenty

92
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: thousand cancer deaths annually in the United States, yet the

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: majority of Americans are unaware of this risk. They say

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 4: alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: in the US, after tobacco and obesity. Link between alcohol

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: consumption cancer risk has been established for at least seven

97
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: kinds of cancer, including breast, colorectal, esophagus, liver, mouth, throat,

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: and voice box mirthy sad.

99
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the perspective.

100
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: For women consuming less than a drink per week, meaning you're.

101
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: A non drinker.

102
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: If you consume less than a drink per week, well

103
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: I consider you a non drinker.

104
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, the absolute risk of developing an alcohol

105
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: related cancer is around seventeen percent of what it doesn't

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: make clear That risk increases to about twenty two percent

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: for women consuming two drinks a day.

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: My god, So wait, so you go from a non.

109
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: Drinker at seventeen percent to a to a day and

110
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: you get to twenty two percent.

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: And there's probably a margin of error with the whole

112
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: the whole thing, just because of all research.

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, it takes a while to.

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 4: Right, so it's less than a third of a tiny number.

115
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: For then the risk increases from ten percent to thirteen percent. Wow,

116
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: that again, less than a third. We learned this a

117
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 4: long time ago doing this job. When you hear the

118
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: drive by health study stuff, this is the most common

119
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: thing they do. It's an increase of not much to

120
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: tiny bit more than not much, and then all the

121
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: media runs with it as a big deal.

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: Coke can call you, I remember when soda was a

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: coc col can call you as a cancer.

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: And you know so, lab rats.

125
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: Who were force fed sixty cases of coca cola all

126
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: day long had a slightly larger chance of getting cancer

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: than those of drank none. Okay, that's not worth mentioning

128
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: at all, Yet it can be a big story.

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: Or if something or other causes a third higher incidence

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: of cancer and the just to take a ridiculous example,

131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: but the incident's cancer is one in ten thousand. Well

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: a third hire is one point three out of ten thousand,

133
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: which you know cancer is no choke obviously, but in

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: Austraia numbers moderate drinkers have a note he had cancer.

135
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: He gets to make that joke.

136
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: Moving on, moderate drinkers have a one point eight fold

137
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: high risk of developing oral cavity and throat cancers. Now

138
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: I will tell you this asaphageal cancer if you are

139
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: a heavy drinker, and we'll get into this in a bit,

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: some of the mouth and throat cancers. If you are

141
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: a heavy drinker, there is a significant risk for terrible

142
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: forms of cancer. A person I cared about very much

143
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: passed away from one of those cancers, and he knew

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: his way around alcohol.

145
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: We'll leave it.

146
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: There, but a saphageal drinking alcohol at any level is

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: linked with an increased risk of developing cancer in the esophagus,

148
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: ranging from one point threefold higher just a third higher

149
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: for light drinkers to fivefold for heavy drinkers.

150
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: So just don't be a heavy drinker. How do they

151
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: define heavy drinker in this study? You know, you know,

152
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they nail it down exactly.

153
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: The heavy might be a Tuesday afternoon in my opinion.

154
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, and and God bless you for it. Ah.

155
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: And by the way, all of these numbers, all of

156
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: them are absolutely dwarfed by cigarettes, clearly. But obesity, obesity, man,

157
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: what are we talking about?

158
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Alcohol? And a kidding, no kidding, So great perspective.

159
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: Moving on sort of from Alicia Finley, who writes for

160
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: The Wall Street Journal and is terrific. She points out,

161
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has done more to politicize science

162
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 4: in a road trust in public health leaders than anyone

163
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: other than Anthony freaking foul O Chi. And he did

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: it again with the alcohol cancer stuff. Again worth knowing

165
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: heavy drinking increases your risk. Two weeks before he shot

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: off his mouth, the National Academies of Sciences Engineering in

167
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: Medicine released a congressionly mandated review of the recent evidence

168
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: on the health effects of moderate drinking or up to

169
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: one drink a day for women two for men. It's

170
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 4: more than two hundred pages of findings run counter to

171
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 4: Mrthy's twenty two page report, and they got absolutely no

172
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: attention or practically no attention in the press. The Academy

173
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: has found insufficient evidence to support a link between moderate

174
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: drinking and oral fare and geal esophagus, laryngel, and other cancers.

175
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: It did find a slightly higher risk of breast cancer

176
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: with moderate drinking, but also a lower risk of death

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: generally and from cardiovascular disease specifically compared with never drinking.

178
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: You also should factor enjoyment of life. How boring most

179
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: people are, life didn't suck as much, so you got

180
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: to factor that in, and Finley points out that for

181
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: some cancers, quote evidence shows that this risk may start

182
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: to increase while around one or fewer drinks per day.

183
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Notice the operative word may no kidding. Wow.

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: So I was gonna blame the media most of the time,

185
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 3: this is a media thing. You can't blame the scientists.

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: It's their job to study, you know, to pop tarts

187
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: give you cancer or something like that. And then they,

188
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, somebody does a study on that, and they

189
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: put out a study that's got a tiny increase, and

190
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: then the media acts like it's a big deal.

191
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: That's not the scientist problem.

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: But in this case you get the freaking Surgeon General

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: trumping up these numbers and making noises like it's.

194
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: A big deal.

195
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: Now we're delighted to bring you a quick word from

196
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: Prize Picks. And then I suggest we take a break

197
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: and finish this on the other side because it gets

198
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: into the greater story, which is I think useful to

199
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: take into the new year.

200
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: So it's playoff time now or never.

201
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,559

Speaker 3: I'd admit I could not have told you. If you'd

224
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: have said who's the surgeon General, I wouldn't have been

225
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: able to come up with the name off the top

226
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: of my head. Is uh Oz going to be the

227
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: surgeon general? Doctor Oz?

228
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: He's ahhs, isn't he?

229
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: I thought that's what RFK Junior was going to be.

230
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: We actually we should nail that down.

231
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: He gets inaugurated in fourteen days. What are you going

232
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: to do in the interim with that knowledge?

233
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.

234
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: We'll have that for you when you come back. Many

235
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: of you are screaming at the radio, Hey, you knuckleheads.

236
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: This person's this and this person's that. But I wonder

237
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: how they feel about this warning labels on booze or whatever.

238
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: The New Orleans terrorist attack. How big a deal is this?

239
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: Do we have terrorist cells active in the United States

240
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: or whatever? FBI director thinks, so the government thinks. So

241
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff on the way. I hope you

242
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: can stay here. So we were just talking about the

243
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: fact that the current surgeon general is talking about a

244
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: warning label on ALP like they have on cigarettes because

245
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: of a study about cancer and everything like that. And

246
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 3: we got another conversation because the current surgeon general is

247
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: in office for a few more days and the new

248
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: administration takes over and we're talking about who's what now?

249
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: And I didn't even remember, but one thing. Looking at

250
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: the list of all Trump's nominees, there are so many

251
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: layers of just the health thing. And that's one of

252
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: the problems we have is so RFK Jr. Is is

253
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: Health and Human Services Secretary, Okay, as opposed to this

254
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: guy who Jay however he pronounce his name, who's the

255
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: head of the NIH National Institutes of Health. Okay, what

256
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: is that compared to what RFK Junior is going to do.

257
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: Then you have got Jim O'Neil who's going to be

258
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: the Health Deputy. Then you've got veteran stuff around health,

259
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: which is a huge part of the budget and a

260
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: lot of the whole health infrastructure. Then you have a

261
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: Surgeon General who's a different person, and then an HHS

262
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: Secretary which has a bit That department has a bigger

263
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,239
Speaker 3: budget than the Pentagon.

264
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: And these are all different people.

265
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: Ha And you left out the Centers for Disease Control

266
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: right right left out CDC.

267
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 3: So okay, I'll bet you get into one of those jobs,

268
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: and you'd think, how does this even square with the

269
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: fifteen other giant organizations that are in charge of this? Also,

270
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: what if I did nothing right, would anybody notice? Like

271
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: for a year I'm going to do nothing for a

272
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: year and see if anybody says anything. I'm looking up

273
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: at CBS right now, new alcohol warning, and they're taking

274
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: it completely seriously.

275
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: Joe is here to tell us no. Yeah.

276
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: Doctor Mercy claims that alcohol use quote not only abuses

277
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: a leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States,

278
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: contributing to nearly one hundred thousand cancer case about to

279
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: twenty thousand cancer deaths each year. That estimate is based

280
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: on models of associations from cherry pick to observational studies.

281
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: Even the report partially attributes only seventeen percent of these

282
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 4: estimated deaths to moderate drinking, so almost all of its

283
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: heavy drinking and of the cancer deaths in twenty three,

284
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: that would mean modern drinking contributed to contributed to thirty

285
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: four hundred, or about six tenths of one percent. Doctor

286
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: Murphy's claims about alcohols cancer risks are misleading, but typical

287
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: of his reports, which are intended to drive a political agenda. Then,

288
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: Alicia Finley from The Wall Street Journal explains, let's review

289
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: the role. First Advisory in twenty twenty one declared health

290
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: misinformation a serious threat. It warned that and I'm quoting

291
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: misinformation has caused confusion and led people to decline COVID

292
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: nineteen vaccines, reject public health measures such as masking and

293
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: physical distancing, and use unproven treatments. So there he was

294
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: cracking down on, among other things, Jay Batticharia and the

295
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: Great Barrington Declaration, which was right about everything. The Surgeon

296
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: General urged tech companies to quote strengthen the monitoring of misinformation, quote,

297
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: prioritize her early detection of misinformation super spreaders and repeat

298
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: offenders like Battachari and his cohort there in the Great

299
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: Barrington Declaration, and quote redesigned recommendation algorithms to avoid amplifying misinformation,

300
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: in other words, censor COVID views that he and Fauci

301
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: didn't like. Next came Murthy's twenty twenty two report on

302
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: Workplace Mental Health, which was informed quote by the voices

303
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: of many workers and unions.

304
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: It was a push.

305
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: For a living wage before overtime tips and commissions, also

306
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: family leave, and all sorts of left wing workplace prescriptions.

307
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: That was it.

308
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: Then there was the twenty twenty three Advisory on our

309
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation, which came to the forefront

310
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: of public consciousness during the pandemic, never mind that Murthy's

311
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: promotional lockdowns caused the problem. To improve social connection, he

312
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 4: advised increased access to public transit. What a load of cracks.

313
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: I'm I'm so glad the Biden administration about gone, and

314
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: I won't even get in. We don't have time for

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: firearm violence. So public health crisis in America that recommended

316

Speaker 3: So is that with all your other older sores?

394
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: Actually, I've been so carved up by my dermatologist.

395
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: It looks like I've been in a gunfight.

396
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 4: So but anyway, so yeah, it turns out to be

397
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: a tick, and you know, we we administered the various

398
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: getting ticks out techniques and you're like, all right, and

401
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 4: its legs off, and so off to the urgent care went.

402
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: It was terrible tortures. Yaw long it was there, probably

403
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: not long. I actually think I remember when it got

404
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: on me through the.

405
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: Woods since his last coon hunt. Ain't nothing wrong with

406
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: coon hunt.

407
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 3: He's back in the holler making shine, and he went

408
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: on a coon hunt and he got ticks Garcie usually

409
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: and his daddy's breeches because he's got none of his own. No,

410
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: it's so anyway, that was an unfortunate and you get

411
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: there and of course you're thinking, oh good, there's only

412
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: two people in front of you. Then inexplicable you're still

413
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: sitting there in forty five minutes.

414
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: But anyway, so that was fine. It was dealt with,

415
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 4: and then we moved on with our lives. And I

416
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: took a bunch of antibiotics to make sure I don't

417
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 4: get lime disease.

418
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you don't want that. Oh no, no, I hear.

419
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: It's a horror. Antibiotics can keep you from getting lime disease.

420
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know that if you jump on it in time.

421
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: There's one particular that they recommend as a prophylactic, which

422
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 4: I hammered down.

423
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: So so the New Orleans guy, we got some text

424
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: about the alcohol thing, but I'll save that for a

425
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: little bit later. The knew should it have a cancer

426
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: warning thing? New Orleans guy. So this I was on

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 3: the East coast. We're in Washington, d C. For New

428
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: Year's Eve, which we went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

429
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out where to go eat

430
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: and we went very early so we were able to

431
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 3: get in. Everybody was super dressed up. We were dressed

432
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 3: like tourists and felt kind of out of place because

433
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of women in little black skirts

434
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: and high and guys and suits and stuff because it

435
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 3: was New Year's even there wanting to be special and

436
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: we were dressed like tours So luckily we were eating

437
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: early and getting out there.

438
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: The bill was insane. No I did that place was

439
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: so expensive.

440
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 3: AnyWho, we get we get back to the hotel early

441
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 3: my kids like on New Year's Eve to eat junk food,

442
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 3: and we flipped around the channels and watched all the

443
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: TV shows we're watching. We're watching Dick Clark's Rocking New Year,

444
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve with Ryan Seacrest and flipping over to

445
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: Anderson Cooper getting drunk with his gay buddy on CNN

446
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: where they do vodka shots all night long and all

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: that sort of Stuff'm flipping around and they just giggle

448
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: and just nonsense, and mostly wonder who watches this craft

449
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 3: other than like the really really sad who have no friends,

450
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: and I don't even know who could be good Bob

451
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 3: possibly be watching this stuff?

452
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: Could it be that the entire audience for the show

453
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: is ironic? I wonder that myself, every single person is

454
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 4: wondering who the hell watches this?

455
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,880

Speaker 3: new system when they could ever be not twenty twenty four,

471
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 3: We didn't think of programming as anyway minor norts, right,

472
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: But so we get to bed and we missed hearing

473
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: the story till the next morning about the guy ram

474
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 3: in his Ford f one fifty lightning into the crowd

475
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: that he had rented and killing a whole bunch of

476
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: people and turned out to be Isis. And then, however,

477
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: many hours was later the Tesla, another electric vehicle, blowing

478
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: up or attempting to blow it up there in Las

479
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: Vegas in front of Trump Tower. And for a while

480
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 3: there the media coverage really had them linked.

481
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: Right, In fact, they said specifically they were linked for

482
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 4: a moment, right.

483
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: And then the FBI early on said that they were

484
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: investigating three other people that had placed bombs somewhere, and

485
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: so it's starting to look like a fairly big plot there.

486
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: In the early hours.

487
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 3: Joe and I are big on the don't believe anything

488
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: you hear in the first twenty four hours on any

489
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 3: of these sorts of things, which is more true now

490
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: than it was the first time we ever said it.

491
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: There's almost there's almost no reason point in reacting to

492
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: any of the stuff you hear on these kinds of

493
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: stories school shootings, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, whatever, because so

494
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: much of it turns out to not be true.

495
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you say, yeah, it might be true, but it

496
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: might not. It's practically random, it's a coin flipping.

497
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: There's certainly no point and going off on a like

498
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: both presidents did some long screed about the information at

499
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: the time, because who knows how it's gonna turn out.

500
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: It turns out they're not linked at all. The FBI

501
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: now says, and I know a lot of you don't

502
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: believe it that they're covering for something that the FBI

503
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: now says that they're not looking for three other people

504
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: placing pipe bombs. Just said dude, Although it does look

505
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: like that dude was inspired by isis? And are they

506
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: still calling it a terrorist attack? I know that went

507
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: back and forth a couple of times.

508
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: Well, at first the FBI was adamant that it was

509
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: not some local gal and the local police girl.

510
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Why are no men in charge the police? She's anymore?

511
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: The same police chief Oakland had for a cup of

512
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: coffee and was run out of town because she sucked

513
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 3: when she was a police chief in Oakland, ends up

514
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: the police chief in New Orleans.

515
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: How the hell does that happen? How are you so.

516
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: Bad at your job that you get run out of

517
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: Oakland as a black woman, and and you go to

518
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: New Orleans and.

519
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Get to be the police chief? What as a black woman?

520
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 3: You're telling me there's no other candidates than somebody who

521
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: failed horribly at their job in Oakland.

522
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 4: Evidently I was in a coma when the constitutional amendment

523
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 4: passed that said, we can't possibly have a white male

524
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: running a major city police department. It's just it's it's

525
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: utterly impossible. At this point, you couldn't get one through.

526
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: How about the.

527
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: Thousands of idiotic how about the thousands of black women,

528
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: if you want to stick with that theme, who don't suck?

529
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Already? Good lord. Anyway, your point was originally she did.

530
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 4: What Well, the FBI was adamant that this was not

531
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 4: a terrorist attacks, not it's a Muslim fellow, but it's

532
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: not terrorism, And you know, it's just it's it's ridiculous

533
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 4: that the posturing. It brings to mind the horrifying British

534
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: story which we'll get to next hour, about the the

535
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 4: rapes of the young girls. But what was the point

536
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: I was driving toward. It seems significant at the time.

537
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. Oh so this guy, it's interesting. It

538
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: reminds me of a lot of ills in our society

539
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: these days. This was a miserable failure of a guy

540
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: with a bad life who wanted to make it out

541
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 4: on somebody. And I think he embraced the ideology of

542
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 4: ISIS because it's all about hurting and being self righteous

543
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: and having a purpose and that sort of thing. And

544
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: so he decided to kill a bunch of people in

545
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: service to isis. What good did It's just the futility

546
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: of it is what makes me insane. You didn't strike

547
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 4: a blow forrisis, you didn't do anything but killing us

548
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: and people, You moron.

549
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I wanted to bring this up because

550
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: I was thinking just a lot of the reading and

551
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: podcasts I was listening to over the break about various

552
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: periods through history, whether it was a form of the

553
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: Constitution or French Revolution, which I just can't stop being

554
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: interested in. All this sort of stuff. Just a very

555
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: big picture cultural What is our problem here in the West,

556
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: not just the United States? Western civilization, the decline of

557
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: Western civilization and the lack of purpose and unhappiness is

558
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: clearly a theme that runs through so much of it

559
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: and explains so many different things. Are politics, the way

560
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: we structure our lives, all these different sorts of things.

561
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: And while I do believe there is absolutely such a

562
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: thing as militant Islam that plenty of people around the

563
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: world sign on to because they actually believe the Quran,

564
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: when it's described the way these nut jobs describe it,

565
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, Right, a lot of the stuff that

566
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: happens in the United States is just what you described.

567
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: Sad people with sad lives who don't have another purpose

568
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 3: like charity or God or whatever it ought to be,

569
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: and so they look for the closest thing at hand

570
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: that will let them manifest their frustrations and hurt people

571
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: because they're so unhappy.

572
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: Right, and it takes all sorts of different forms. You know,

573
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: I'm reminded odd way of the sudden onset gender dysphor

574
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: you among adolescent girls. It's not that there's an explosion

575
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: in transgenderism. It has nothing to do with sex, or

576
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: call it gender if you like. It has to do

577
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: with puberty and indoctrination and angst and porn and all

578
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: sorts of stuff. It's not that all of a sudden,

579
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: little girls are turning into little boys. That's the last

580
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: thing that's happened. Yeah, I can't believe I left that

581
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 4: example out that explains that. Also, just a lot of

582
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: people are sad and purposeless and confused and lonely and

583
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: all those different things.

584
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: That we didn't used to be so.

585
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: Right, that's the big, biggest problem, bigger than isis even

586
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: is the overall Western civilization.

587
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: People are just unhappy with their lives.

588
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: And you know, a lot of you think it's when

589
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: religion went away and our secondarization. You might be right,

590
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: But whatever it is, that's the big thing that needs

591
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: to be fixed that would solve all these different things.

592
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think the religion thing is a factor.

593
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: If you were to pick, say arbitrary number five five

594
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: things that gave people purpose in their lives.

595
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Religion is one.

596
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 4: Raising a family absolutely was probably number one, but certainly

597
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 4: number two. And you know, you know, getting yourself just

598
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: a couple of luxury Number three.

599
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: We had at work a social influencer, a social media influencer.

600
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, that's a new thing. Anyway.

601
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 4: If you were to take the classic examples of what

602
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 4: motivates me to get up in the morning and live

603
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: a life of purpose, I think a lot of them,

604
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 4: if not all of them, have been weakened or eliminated

605
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: in a lot of people's lives.

606
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: It's the on we of.

607
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 4: Success, of being decadent, Yeah, aiting, fat and happy.

608
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

609
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: And just like I said, I spent a couple of

610
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: weeks going through a whole bunch of different books and podcasts, and.

611
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: That was my conclusion.

612
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: Is almost everything we talk about can be explained by that.

613
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: Whatever is driving that, just the on wee lack of purpose,

614
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: not happy with your life thing that is happening in

615
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: all of Western civilization.

616
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: Here's the purpose that unites the country. Perfect timing, because

617
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: they're a little shaky, right, now it's time to take

618
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: Canada back or Gramma fifty first state America's hat.

619
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: Maybe we take Canada and Greenland fifty two states. Get

620
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: to work on a pattern on the flag. We've got

621
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: to get the stars on there somehow.

622
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: Well, first we've got to find Greenland. I think it's

623
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: in the North Atlantic.

624
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: We got a couple of text about the whole alcohol thing.

625
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: We got a bunch of other stuff to talk about.

626
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 3: I hope you can stay here text line, be interested

627
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: in what you think about what we just said. Four

628
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: one five two nine five kftc Armstrong and Getty.

629
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Rising threats.

630
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: The country is on edge after a deadly New Year's

631
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: Day terror attack that investigators say was inspired by ISIS.

632
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 5: But what a you know, a horrible way to start

633
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: the new year, and it points to the need to

634
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 5: get the answers and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

635
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 5: And I think there is more information comes out and

636
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 5: the investigation is more fully completed, I think we'll have

637
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 5: more of those answers. But you know, clearly it's a

638
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 5: dangerous world, and I think it's a reminder that we

639
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 5: need to be doing everything we can at every level

640
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: to keep the American people safe.

641
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the new majority leader, Republican John Thune. Meet

642
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 3: the press there with that intro. One thing that I'm

643
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: reminded of every time we go on vacation is how

644
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: real life compares to media life. And we're in the media,

645
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 3: and we take in so much media that I even

646
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: us who mocked the media regularly, I think, you know,

647
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: you get into the media life. The nation is on edge.

648
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: I was out and about with people. I didn't run

649
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: into a single person who seemed to be even slightly

650
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 3: on edge.

651
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: I was in Washington, d C.

652
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: Which would be one of the biggest focus points of

653
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: isis if they could have any attack the day of

654
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: the attack, and we were all in line for museums

655
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 3: and restaurants and stuff like that. The idea, the idea

656
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: that everybody's upset or on edge or happy, that it's

657
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: just always so way overstated by any media.

658
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 4: That's such a great point. The nation is on edge,

659
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: and you think, wow, Okay, the nation's on edge. I'm

660
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: supposed to be on edge.

661
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: Are you on edge?

662
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 3: Were you on edge before they told you to be

663
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: on edge? Nobody I knew was on edge? And the

664
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 3: security was ramped up. That was definitely true everywhere at

665
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: airports and DC and every where I was, But I

666
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: didn't notice there was no palpable on edge at all.

667
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: The way they portrayed it on the news shows.

668
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: Well to the extent that anybody wanted this, I think

669
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: I've re just solved everything, all of it, all of

670
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: the angst and the depression, and the insanity, and the

671
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: transgenderism and the other fundamentalist Islam which has been a

672
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 4: scourge for one hundred and hundreds of years. But it

673
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 4: used to be our entire lives were taken in through

674
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: our eyes and ears unless you occasionally got a letter

675
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 4: from somebody. Now virtually all of our input is from

676
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: around the entire globe via electronic means.

677
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: It's making us insane. Period. That's it. There's no more

678
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: study needs to be done. Save your money.

679
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: That very well could be it. We got these texts.

680
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: Should mention guys. The police chief of New Orleans is

681
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: a white woman. The FBI Special Agent in charge of

682
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 3: New Orleans is a black woman, and she initially said

683
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 3: New Orleans attack was terry related. Both, by the way,

684
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: appeared to be incompetent despite the whatever is in their

685
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: skin that makes their skin a certain color.

686
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 4: Yes, if you have testicles, you are not welcome in

687
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: the highest echelons of law enforcement.

688
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: That's a true thing. Yeah, it's amazing. You know what,

689
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we have time to do this.

690
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: The fella who blew up explosives inside the cyber truck

691
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas evildoers, shooters, scumbags, cowards.

692
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: We don't mention their names.

693
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 4: I am going to mention the name of Matthew Livelsberger,

694
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 4: who was a decorated Army Special Forces veteran, A beautiful guy,

695
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 4: according to everybody who knew him, including fairly recently, who

696
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 4: had all sorts of concussions in active duty and was

697
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: displaying all of the signs of traumatic brain injury and

698
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. Wow, and had some serious depression problems,

699
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 4: and he in back injuries the rest of it. But

700
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: he actually had a note that said, Hey, this is

701
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 4: not terrorism. It is a wake up call. Americans only

702
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to

703
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives.

704
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 4: He and he was dealing with guilt for the people

705
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 4: he'd seen die and the people he'd killed, and it

706
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 4: was just it was a story about a troubled vet,

707
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: not terrorism.

708
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: That should get more attention. We'll talk more about that later.

709
