WEBVTT - Add That To Your Long List Of Confessions 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.200 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.640 Arm Strong and Jettie and he I'm strong and Yetty. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.440 A second grade student called nine to one one to 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.840 report a shooting had occurred at school. I'm gonna let that, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.840 so can for a minute the second grade. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.120 Student, all right, we're not actually going to talk about 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.960 the school shooting, or at least I'm not actually going 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.440 to talk about school shooting. I've got some media comments though. 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.839 First of all, I was listening to a podcast the 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.280 other day and some woman from the Washington Post, who's 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.400 a conservative for the Washington Post, was actually talking about 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.840 She said, I'd before all my talking about these shootings 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.720 at all. The guy who shot the CEO of United Harald, 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.800 the carriage school shot. Just let's just not do the stories. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.080 Let's just not do them at all. 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.480 She said. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.560 I know that's crazy, and it has the downside. Well, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.720 let's just not give these people any air. There's clearly 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.520 a contagion effect, and I have agreed with that for 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.960 a very long time. But I keep looking up at 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.160 the TV and seeing this tiny little girl. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.360 Probably the second grader being interviewed. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.199 Mom, Dad, You know it's off limits for a parent 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.720 to criticize another parent's parenting. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.000 Don't freaking have your eight year old talking to the brass. 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.800 They're not here tout the most traumatic thing that will 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.319 ever happen in their lives over and over and over again. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.360 That's insane. I'll criticize their parenting. What is the matter 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.760 with you? Get that girl home and away from the cameras. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.560 Now, well, I could cut it off at don't let 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.320 your eight year old talk to the media without even 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.400 anything after that. I don't care what the topic is. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400 They're not there to make your kids life better, trust me. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.600 But on this topic, especially good lord, who's sticking a 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.000 microphone in this little kid's face? 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.920 If the piglet winds are riven at the Wisconsin State Fair, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:05.680 then they can. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.280 Talk to the media. That really bothers me. Yeah, so 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.320 and wise, But I got to ask this. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.359 This is a media thing, not a school shooting thing 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.520 or shooting thing at all. As I figure out how 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.960 to take in media in the modern world, I've been 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.880 saying for a long time now that Twitter is like 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.040 the best way to get information on a big media story. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.040 When it happens. Pick one, like when Trump was shot. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.359 I was getting all kinds of information when Trump was 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.120 shot an hour before the New York Times would have it, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.720 or CBS News or whatever. But you do have to 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.480 wait through a lot of stuff that's not true. You 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:47.440 have to have a. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.480 Talent for it. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.000 Stuff that's in that doesn't seem true, or that's too 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.160 crazy to be true, or I'll have to see that 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.880 confirmed or something like that. As opposed to just running 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.600 with everything you come across. Is if it's clearly true 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:04.600 because somebody tweeted it was the shooter trans. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.520 I've come across no information that that is true. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.400 I would agree at this point as yet. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.240 But yesterday when I jumped on Twitter, it was just 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:22.240 full of fake pictures, real pictures, fake Facebook pages, all 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.120 kinds of different stuff trying to make the point that 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.200 the shooter was trans. How do we is this just 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.919 going to be the rest of our lives. You've got 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.959 a crowd out there that wanted the shooter to be trans. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.640 You got a crowd out there that wants the shooter 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.880 to be a Trump supporter. You got a crowd obviously 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.880 that wants the shooter to be black. Shooting white people, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.520 white shooting black people, all the different things and the 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.320 amount of time they put into faking up a profile, 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.880 faking up a Facebook page, faking up a Twitter account, 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.800 faking up an email, faking up pictures, faking up audio 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.800 I mean including audio AI stuff. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.440 I mean, who does. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.400 This for one thing? Outside of China, Russia and North 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.240 Korean Iran? But are there are these? Are some of 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.840 you out there? You get a kick out of this, 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.640 like making up a profile for a fake person just 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.320 to what cause problems? 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.280 Well, I think it's a combination of you know, fooling 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.960 some of the people some of the time for political 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.719 purposes to rally people to your cause. And if I 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.760 you know, happy to agree with you, I certainly don't 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.719 agree with your methods. And the other part of it 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:31.120 is just klickonomics, just wanting to be the popular panderer. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.839 I'm gonna tell my followers exactly what they want to hear, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.520 and I'll send it along to their friends who will 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.040 be gratified by it too, and I'll get more followers, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.320 be more popular, maybe make a few bucks, or maybe 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.360 just be a big wheel. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:44.919 You know what, I didn't do it, and I should 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.560 have done as I was going through this stuff is 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.359 clicked on the person that was tweeting it out and 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:55.320 then gone to their home Twitter feed to see because 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.200 sometimes it's you know, they got one follower and they've 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.680 been online for a month, that's when you know it's 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.360 a Russian bot or a Chinese bot. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.560 Uh. 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.880 And even if it's a real person, if they got 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.919 like two followers, why is anybody listening to them? But 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.159 it somehow gets into the feed the stream. I don't 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:15.880 know what we do. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:21.600 About that phenomenon other than get better in this weight. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.320 Before anybody draws any conclusions, I would say, as I've 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.760 said for many, many years, if your concern is, for instance, 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.640 I don't know the way they covered up that one 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.720 trans shooter, which the shooter actually was trans, and I 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:36.880 don't remember which one that was. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.360 I was just going to bring that whole thing up. Okay, yeah, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:40.039 but they covered that. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.320 Up more or less. I mean, they didn't soft pedal, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.479 did it. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.840 It wasn't exactly a cover up, but it was definitely 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.599 soft pedal, like, we're not putting the story out there. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.800 If that bothered you, getting out a fake trans shooter 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.560 doesn't help your cause. I think it hurts your cause. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.320 Oh yeah, one hundred percent. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.800 I mean, that's that's a great like coda to what 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.479 I was going to say, which is the Nashville Christian 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.240 School shooter, who was a female, was quote unquote transgender, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.920 meaning confused and led down the path of radical gender 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.640 theory by various mentorists discussing it's sick, it's terrible taking 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.440 a confused adolescent and manipulating them for your purposes. She 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:28.119 was particularly angry at the Christian school because generally speaking, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.480 the more religious people are, the less likely they are 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.800 to be into the whole neo Marxist gender bending madness stuff, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:40.200 and so she decided to punish Christians for not supporting 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.560 her in her utterly futile quest to be happier by 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.400 changing into a dude. That was the story. It's troubling. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.200 She had a manifesto that the media had zero interest in. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:52.840 It's funny. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.799 Every killer's manifesto, with every cause imaginable, has been absolute. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.920 Just honey for a bear, accept that manifesto? 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.560 So odd? That is all true. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.880 It's no less true if this chick was just an 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.720 angry chick. It's no more true if this chick was 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.240 another one of them. I get that, you know, more 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.360 evidence builds the case, but yeah, don't you don't need 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.480 to go there, have confidence in your beliefs and then 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.480 wait for the facts to come in. But I don't, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.400 you know, I feel like a man standing on the 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.840 beach shouting at the tide not to come in. It's 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.120 just the new environment we all live in, and we 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.760 have to be better at processing it or it will 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.560 tear us apart and ruin the empire. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.760 I don't know now, I don't exactly know how, like 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:45.160 the community notes work on Twitter. But the first tweet 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.280 I saw claiming this shooter was trans and it had 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.400 a couple of it's had the picture when he was 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.680 a boy and now as a girl. The community notes 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.560 on Twitter were, this is not real, this is actually 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.480 this is who this actually is, So this isn't real. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.480 I thought, okay, cool, But then I saw this same 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.920 tweet more or less, you know, half a page down 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.800 that didn't have the community notes on it. So I 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.440 don't know how that whole algorithm works or not yet anyway, Yeah, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.440 if Elon can get better at that or whatever, but 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:12.240 that's troubling. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.600 That's troubling. There wasn't advantage. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.000 Community notes are actual human beings like me. I've done 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.960 some who take a minute to say, hey, this is 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.640 your research it and you put the note there and 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.760 then people voted uppertown or but there's no and it 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:25.559 becomes a note. 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.200 But apparently there's no way for that community note because 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.240 you caught that one tweet for it to end up 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.920 on a different tweet with exactly the same message. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.400 Apparently not point about the algorithm. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.319 Yeah, there was an advantage when there was a gatekeeper, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.839 like it was the CBS Evening News in New York 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.280 Times or whoever. As much as I hated their left 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.960 leaning this and that, there was some advantage when there 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:52.200 were some gatekeepers that wouldn't run with complete crap, you know, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.840 moments after something happened and have everybody an uproar order 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.080 something that wasn't true. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.760 Well right, because you know it's the world is very 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.440 flat now and your ability to have a platform depends 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.400 on nothing but having a social media account. Now you 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.760 have to be elevated by a certain level of popularity 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.880 for many people to see your takes. But the problem 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.880 is the process of elevating people might just be who 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.240 panders the most successfully, who has the most extreme opinions. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.920 You know, just being a bomb chucking lunatic wouldn't get 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.760 you a gig on the CBS Evening News. You have 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.959 to be good at what you did and reliable and 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.760 check your sources and the rest of it. Yeah, they 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.640 leaned left, but they're pretty good journalists. And so this 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.480 new world where you can get elevated for the worst 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.920 of reasons, it's going to be challenging to navigate down down. Say, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.360 I don't know if we can. Honestly, I'm a wait 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.520 and see guy on all of this stuff. You have 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:59.600 societies like Russia in particular, that nobody believes anything and 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.960 everybody he walks around bitterly cynical and borderline hopeless. Which, sorry, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.679 it's the Christmas season. Why am I bringing you down? 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:08.559 Because I'm a realist. 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:08.960 Sorry. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.480 Yeah, I've been taking in some of the stuff from 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.800 Syrians who had such a limited view of what was 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.640 going on in the world because of the assad's ability 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:22.680 to control information. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.679 Can I confess something awful? I'm not a Catholic man. 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.560 I've never been to confession, partly because there's so many sins. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.720 I mean, the priest would finally throw me out. Dude, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.320 there are people in line. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.800 Right, my family's expecting me at home. I guess, I 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.640 guess that wouldn't be the guess with it. You've made 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:42.679 it through the felonies. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.240 Yeah, the felonies, the perversities. You die. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.680 I'm thrown up twice. That's enough. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.199 Come back next week. Tell me more anyway, and try 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.040 thing between now and next week. All right, this makes 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.520 me a bad person. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.400 When Seeing had. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:08.120 Their dramatic live television moment and freed that poor beleaguered prisoner, 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.120 I was thinking at the time, it's been like a week. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.280 Why is this guy still locked in a room? This 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:16.120 seems odd to me. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.560 There's something odd going on here. And then it turns 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.959 out he was in there because he was a brutal 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.120 torturer and the other inmates have had thrown him in 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.040 there or what have you. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:27.800 And then you. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.160 Know, and he came out and faked being sensitive to delight. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.400 But he was like pudgy and well, really healthy looking 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:39.040 and all. The fact that CNN got duped makes me happy. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:40.360 Where's that guy? Now? 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.600 Did he disappear back out into the public and he's 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:43.559 going to be able to get away? 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.680 I'll bet he did. I can't remember. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.800 I read the PostScript to that that the new authorities 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.040 had done something or other. But I don't know, because 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.800 he should be torn on limb for limb or set 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.079 on fire or something by the rebels. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.199 because he would torture people for politics, then he just 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.080 torture them for and only stop if your family paid 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.800 him off. I mean, yeah, he had a well, there 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.760 isn't a fate awful enough for him, although. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.719 Locking him in there is wouldn't a bad idea, and 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.520 just dying of thirst and the hunger and being alone 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.640 in there is not awesome either, So they didn't have 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.520 a bad plan because I'm surprised they didn't beat him 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.160 to death when they had the chance, right for they 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.280 were in a hurry to get out of there. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:24.040 Yeah. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.800 Anyway, nice job seeing and very dramatic party, had no viewers. Hey, 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.120 I hate to take that shot because Clariss Ward's a 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.280 great report. Yeah, and yeah, it's not her fault out 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.840 you know, now, unfortunate series of events that made me happy, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.079 which makes me a bad person, which will be part 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.440 of your confession, your very very long list as previously referenced. Right, 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.200 we got more from the Trump press conference. 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.480 Men the city Council meeting in Chicago got crazy yesterday 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.280 as people are very angry with how much money the 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:56.800 mayor is spending on illegals. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:58.680 Got a whole bunch of other stuff to talk about. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:12:59.440 I hope you can stay here. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:10.320 Jesus Pabla, Harry Jet them mixed, all those guys, the 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:15.000 neo crooners. Yeah, cool stuff like this. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.760 A little Christmas decorating today. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.880 So before we get to the new latest news of 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.160 the day on the drones, we got the late night 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.679 comics of course, made some jokes about the drones last night, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:26.400 so we thought we could. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.240 Have a late night joke off. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.040 Yeah, all three of them are going to take a shot. Well, 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.960 three of them are going to take shot. We'll rank 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.720 each joke and and grade it with a letter grade. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.720 The bottom grade getter is banned from comedy for life. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:39.360 Let's hear of Michael. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.880 Well, guys, Christmas is just nine days away, and everyone's 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.040 in the spirit. Tonight I was admiring all the beautiful lights, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.199 and then I realized that there was. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.679 Just the drones over New Jersey. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.920 Yeah, everyone's talking about these mysterious drones that keep appearing 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.960 over New Jersey. Nobody knows where they come from or 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:01.720 why they exist. It's basically air crypto. Everything annoyed about 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.400 the drones right now. The Chinese by balloons are like staying. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.000 Your lane, girl, staying in your life. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.320 Because as of today, the drone armada has also been 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.960 spotted in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ohio, which 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:21.240 can mean only one thing. The drones are visiting colleges. Remember, drones, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.120 don't worry about going to the best school. Go to 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.920 the school where you can be your best self. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.320 The drones flying over in New Jersey. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.720 I mean, if they were still making new Sopranos episodes, 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.600 Tony would definitely be flying drones. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.800 WHOA still check this out. You can take pictures of 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.360 your neighbor's house. I don't know anything about no drones. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.520 D Maybe we had drones, we wouldn't have lost it 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:49.680 rushing in the woods. Wow, didn't go great. I feel 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.720 great about it. That was a stretch. Wow. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.000 Wow, Yeah, this is uh. We're going into the fine 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.320 print of the grading system here. Fellon with a B 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.240 plus for good naturedness, Colbert with a B. It was 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.080 all right, Myers with an A, but a full grade 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.840 deduction for you've got to be a huge soprance. 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.600 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.960 And the little data there, that's so the ashshale news 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.720 on the drones. Senator Doug Mastriano, who is the other 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.200 Pennsylvania Senator who doesn't get any attention because his cohart 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:28.840 is Fetterman. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.440 Throw on the hoodie, Doug, or a tank top or something. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.600 You gotta go with, novelty garb these you gotta have 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:36.200 a brand. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.520 This is a sitting US senator where they're now seeing drones. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.360 He said, it's inconceivable that the federal government has no 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.400 answers nor has taken any action to get to the 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.760 bottom of the unidentified drones. The fecklands specklessness of this 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.960 administration was on display last year when a Chinese surveillance 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.440 balloon was allowed to fly over the entire United States. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.040 Such should be viewed as a threat to our nation 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.360 and citizens, and action. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.800 Is long overdue. Blah blah blah blah blah. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.640 So that's a sitting US senator who has no answers. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.720 While just a little bit ago er. This morning, a 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.920 number of federal agencies signed onto a letter together saying 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.880 there is no threat to the public from the drones, 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.920 but they're still saying they don't have any answers. If 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.680 they would come out and say, we know what they are, 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.280 trust us, there's no threat. But they're saying we don't 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.680 know what they are and there's no threat, which doesn't 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.560 fit together as a thought correct. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.440 Yeah, and I think that's universally recognized. I think America 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.440 is developing a sense of people know what's happening, just 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.840 go ahead and tell us, which it's a tough one. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.840 It depends on the nature of the what they're doing 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.240 in whites classified, and it could be they just can't 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:47.320 find a way to tell. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.480 Us part of it. I hope that's it. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.640 I hope it's that we're on such the cutting edge 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.520 of drone defenses and drone warfare that it's just too 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.840 advanced to share with the people and not just buy 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.120 and style and competence. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.400 They can't even share it with us senators though apparently. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.399 Well you can't trust senators, blah blah blah. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.560 The curious case of Caitlan Clark coming up next to 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:10.760 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.000 Jimangioni retained a new high powered former Manhattan prosecutor and 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.080 a defense fund set up for the suspect reached one 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.359 hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, though it's unclear if his 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.800 defense team will accept that money. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.920 I'm happy to hear it's only one hundred and fifteen 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.680 thousand dollars. As a guy who's had a lot of 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.840 legal bills in the last couple of years, that ain't much. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:32.920 It won't last long. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:38.679 So yeah, oh, brother, So I want to talk about 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.160 the Caitlin Clark situation and how it is just such 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.920 a beautiful illustration of the stupidity, the awfulness, and the 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.919 utter destructiveness of racialism which has had its moment in 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.560 the country. You know, thanks to Derek chauven and George 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.280 Floyd and the rest of it, nobody could speak out 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.399 against its excesses. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:01.600 For a little while. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.240 And the whole everything's about race and should be out 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.879 race and everything should be viewed through the lens of 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:11.560 race at bubba idea, which is insidious, horrible, Unamerican. 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.480 Well, remember sudden that rule of the day, Remember that 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:19.040 polling we had last week where every group wants a 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.560 color blind society, like everybody, Republicans, Democrats, old, young, white, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:29.800 only only black people slightly wanted a race focused. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:35.560 Society right, and yet I hear the listeners shouting hit 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.840 the speaker right now. I had to sit through six 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.959 hours of white people are bad training to keep my job, 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.280 to keep my professorship, you know, to teach, to keep 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.040 my teaching gig, and the rest of it, just even 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.280 though virtually nobody is in favor of this madness. But 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.679 so anyway, if you're familiar with the story, I'll hit 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.760 the basics of it. Caitlin Clark was on the cover 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:04.320 of Time website used to be a magazine honoring her 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:10.440 as the athlete of the year, and indeed the young 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.000 woman who it was pointed out elsewhere. And forgive me 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.680 if this isn't exactly right, but she was All American 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:20.000 College several times, brought her team to the National Championship 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:25.520 Game two consecutive years, reinvented the women's game, electrified the 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.320 college audiences. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.200 All time leading scorer, and then the crowds she's drawn 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.240 in the WNBA like NBA sized crowds. It's been amazing, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.800 raining shots down from where they've never been taken before. 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.760 A silky passer in the style of Larry Bird. Just 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.840 a really exciting player happens to be a white woman 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.399 playing in the WNBA, which is a predominantly black league 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:55.560 like the NBA itself, and the reaction to Caitlin Clark's 0:19:55.600 --> 0:20:00.000 success and what it's done for the WNBA has been 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.640 incredibly strange and troubling. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:04.719 They are all sorts of players. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.840 I've got all sorts of quotes here about Ajah Wilson 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.320 of the Las Vegas Aces, the league's MVP, said it's 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.320 straight out Clark's race was a huge reason for her popularity. Quote, 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.920 it doesn't matter what we do, as black women were 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.360 still going to be swept underneath the rug. That's why 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.960 it boils my blood when people say it's not about race, 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.240 because it was. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.920 You have team owners. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.639 Shila Johnson, the black owner of the Washington Mystics, echoed Wilson, 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.080 telling CNN the only reason Clark was getting any claim 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.400 was because she was white. I feel really bad because 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.320 I've seen so many players of color that are equally 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.760 as talented never got the recognition that they should have. 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.840 Why couldn't they put the whole WNBA on the cover 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.680 and say the WNBA is the League of the Year. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:53.359
