1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Robot umpires in Major League Baseball, I think will help 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: lead to the fall of all mankind. Sounds drastic, but 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: is it really Also a No King's protest is scheduled 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: for tomorrow on Saturday. People from around the country will 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: pretend that we have a king, but then fight against it, 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: effectively joining the rest of us who have been living 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty years in the biggest, longest, 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: best No Kings protest. And the disgraced former Harvard president 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: who resigned due to plagiarism is teaching again at the 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: same school. All that more coming up on this episode. 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: My name is Joe Bob. Thanks much for tuning in. 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: The show starts right now. That may have felt a 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: little exaggerated or extreme on the analysis of the robot umpires, 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: but trust me, this is actually quite interesting and I 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: do think it is something it is worth paying attention to. Actually, 16 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's a Friday, a little bit more of 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: a cultural feel as opposed to the hard hitting news 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 1: of the day to send you on into the weekend. Actually, 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: maybe something to think about, especially when we look at 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: the technology of the day effectively taken over a lot 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: of human jobs. We'll get to that in just a second. 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Got to remind you, tvttpusa dot com is the email address, 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: but let's send a on your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: They're more than welcome at TPT at tpusa dot com. 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Today in our mailbag segment, I think we're gonna finally 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: pay off the teas from earlier this week of telling 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the stories about my liberal neighbors. And maybe that'll be 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: an ongoing theme because we've got we live in California, Therefore, 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: we have lots of lib neighbors, so there's endless amounts 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: of hilarious interactions involving them. We'll discuss some of those 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: in our mailbags having under the day. But that doesn't 32 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: mean you can't send emails TPT at tpusa dot com. 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: And if those emails break through the noise by being nasty, 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: just viled, downright hateful, we actually have a better chance 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: of reading on the show because that's what we do here. 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: According to several lib outlets, also, I will in Anaheim, California, 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: April sixteenth, albeit the University of Idaho April twenty eighth, 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: if you'd like any more information on those two events, 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: very different events. One is account comedy show. The other 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: is a Turning Point USA event emailspt ATTPSA dot com 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: will get you some of the information that would be 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: necessary in order to attend those events. TPT at TPUSA 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: dot com. The Major League Baseball robot umpire debate has 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: been going on for quite some time now. Ever since 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: cameras were able to I don't know, get so uning 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: grainy whatever the become sharper, people have been complaining, hey, 47 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: this looked like a miscall from the balls and strikes. 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Hey this person looked like they actually touched the bag 49 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: before the ball got to it. This whole debate has 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: been going on for geez, the better part of two 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: decades now, maybe even prior to that. But finally Major 52 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: League Baseball has made the adjustment to hey, we're not 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna go full blown robot umpires. Instead, we're just gonna 54 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: do challenges like they do in other sports. As I 55 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: understand it, teams get two challenges per game, and if 56 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: they are right, they get to continue challenging. If they're wrong, 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: those challenges go away, kind of like it is in football, 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of like the NBA has now done it. Now 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: you may be wondering, what does this have to do 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: with anything. Really, it's a sport. 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: It's just a. 62 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: Game, and that game is, you know, changing, which is 63 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: what happens. Yes, to an extent, there are some rule 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: changes that exist in sports that are just rule changes. 65 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: They're not really indicative of anything. But I honestly believe 66 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: that the replacement of human umpires actually has a bigger, 67 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: more philosophical impact than just, I don't know, a minor 68 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: baseball change. Now, we haven't done this a lot on 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: this show, but I actually would like to read a 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: lot of an article from the Wall Street Journal, their 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: sports reporter, a guy named Jason Gay, had a really 72 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: really brilliant piece which I think kind of better summed. 73 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: Up my opinions than she's myself. 74 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read a lot of that and we'll 75 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: interject where it is appropriate. But the point being made 76 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: here is that will balls and strikes be called quote 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: unquote better? Technically? 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 3: Yes? 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: But is that good for the game but also humanity? 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: My conclusions kind of no. I'm going to explain that 81 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: again through this article, but it starts off as this. 82 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: He starts this saying, look, everybody feels like they should say, yeah, 83 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: we're or for this yeah, we want the game to 84 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: be better and more official and more technical, and that 85 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: the approach to calling balls and strikes needs to be 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: more official. But that's not the way that I feel. 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: That's not the way Jason Gay feels the Wall Street Journal. 88 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: He says, it's not fun to be called a technophobe 89 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: at the Revolution. That's how you get branded as a dinosaur, 90 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: a fuddy duddy, an inhibitor to a march towards efficiency 91 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: and greatness. For the record, he writes, I like a 92 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: lot of the changes baseball's made. I like the pitch clock. 93 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: I like the pitchclock. 94 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm not agast at the automatic innings extra innings runner, 95 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: which is different, but you know, helps speed up the 96 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: game just a little bit more. In other words, there 97 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: are some things that can change in the realm of sports, 98 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: but other things you may accidentally relinquish the soul of 99 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: the game. He goes on to say, this is his 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: first issue. Baseball is going to inevitably phase out the 101 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: plate umpire, one of the most soulful theatrical characters in 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: all of American sports. I know that sounds super baseball pretentious, 103 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: like he's wearing a straw hat and a bow tie, 104 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: he says, but I don't care. He quotes another guy 105 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: in his article, As Brian Walsh wrote in Vox, once 106 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: you've conceded that machines are the final authority on whether 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: a call is right, you've quietly eliminated the case for 108 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: having a human there at all, which is exactly correct. 109 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: Jason Gay goes on to say, pretty soon everybody is 110 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: going to be asking the obvious question. If we're relying 111 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: on the tech to make the important call, why aren't 112 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: we relying on them to make every call? If the 113 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: plate umpire goes with it goes one of baseball's most entertaining, 114 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: maddening presences, A puff chested judge and jury, a baked 115 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 1: in villain, an essential part of the game's pacing and flow. 116 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: How much of baseball culture revolves around the home paint 117 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: umpire a lot, he argues. Nobody screams at a digital 118 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: umpire to go to the optometrist. Norman Rockwell didn't paint 119 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: digital strike zones. Other words, you lose a fundamental part 120 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: of the game of baseball. Maybe you're not a baseball fan, 121 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: and if that's true, well, stay tuned. We'll get to 122 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: more of the human element in just a second. But 123 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: if you are a baseball fan, what are some of 124 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: the iconic moments that exist in your mind? Yes, certain 125 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: home runs happening in the World Series. Yes, Hank Aaron 126 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: running around the bases, and those two guys jumping out 127 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: of the stands to pat him on the back. But 128 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: to me, and I don't know, maybe if this says 129 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: something about my personality, one of the more fond memorable 130 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: memories that I have of baseball. 131 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: Is people getting ejected. 132 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: I used to mimic the umpire in my house, the 133 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: wind up, the throwout, get out. 134 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: Of here, you're gone. 135 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: I've seen, not necessarily entirely in my time, but Loop 136 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: penell Eclipse of getting thrown out of games, Bob Cox, 137 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Earl Weaver, just getting tossed. That doesn't happen with a 138 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Robe bought umpire where you can't argue over balls or 139 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: strikes because the system and the computer have technically made 140 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: it all accurate. What I'm saying is will the calls, 141 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: I guess, quote unquote get better? Yeah, but will eliminate 142 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: one of the most fundamental human elements of the game? 143 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: Also? Yes? 144 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: And is that worth it? 145 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Baseball has been described as tradition disguised as a game, 146 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: which is one hundred percent true, and in a society 147 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: where we are unfortunately losing tradition after tradition after tradition, 148 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: we are seeing the ramifications of that. If the tradition 149 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: of baseball, which again is disguised as a game, continues 150 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: to lose its own human elements, unfortunately, that'll just be 151 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: another component of society being lost by way of losing 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: the tradition that we once held. So dear Jason Gate 153 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: continues that is second points is the trickle down effect. 154 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: It's going to be grim. One of the most pernicious 155 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: side effects of video review challenge culture is going to 156 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: be its effect on school and youth sports at the 157 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: highest level. We've reinforced the idea that every call is important, 158 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: or worse, that the standard should be one hundred percent accuracy, 159 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: when not even the robots themselves are going to be 160 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: one hundred percent accuracy. He says. 161 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: This. 162 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: The pursuit of perfection flies in the face of critical 163 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: lessons that sports should teach, which is, in competition, stuff happens. 164 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes people get it right, sometimes people get it wrong, 165 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: but eventually it all evens out, which if I were 166 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: to interject, would say that's also just a life lesson. Sports, 167 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: in so many ways teach the youth, teach kids what 168 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: life is like. Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don't. 169 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes you put every single drop of effort that you 170 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: you have into this pursuit, and sometimes it doesn't work out. 171 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: In sports, you're allowed to regulate your emotions based on 172 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: things that aren't exactly and entirely in your control, which. 173 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: Is exactly how life is. 174 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: Through sports, I and hopefully you, maybe you people that 175 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, have learned that sometimes things just don't go 176 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: your way, and learning how to deal with that is 177 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: a much more important lesson than any lesson that you 178 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: could learn through a textbook. Sports does that in a 179 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: very very real way. And if everything is based on 180 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: the one hundred percent technicalities, where there's no arguing on 181 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: whether it's right or wrong, or technically a strike technically 182 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: a ball, it eliminates the ability for the kid, for 183 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: the play or whatever age they are, to. 184 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 2: Have an opportunity to be able. 185 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: To regulate the emotions that exist not only just in sports, 186 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: but throughout life in general. Gay goes on to continue saying, 187 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: learning to accept the rhythm of this is a critical 188 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: part of being an adult, which is exactly correct perfectionism 189 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: Also reeks in gambling culture. Sports have allowed their most 190 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: inconsequential moments to be commodified into betting opportunities with already 191 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: perilous results. If money is on the line, nobody is 192 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: interested in the rhythms of something. Sometimes it's right, sometimes 193 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: it's wrong. I can go on a whole screed about 194 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: gambling here, but the fact that you can gamble on 195 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: balls and strikes in a particular inning of a particular 196 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: game is effectively, in a lot of ways necessitated the 197 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: complete one hundred percent total accuracy from robot umpires. And 198 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you've eliminated, like I said, 199 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: the human component, which you know, one can draw the 200 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: conclusion gambling is going to be a net negative. 201 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: Is it a freedom? 202 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Yeah technically, But should it be done at the cost 203 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: of relinquishing the human component of one of America's most 204 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: valued traditions. 205 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. Probably not. 206 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: And this again is just one instance. Get goes on 207 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: to continue the last point that he makes, and I 208 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: think this is the most important one here. It says 209 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: this sports underestimates their human element element in many cases, 210 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: the ticks and oddities that make them the unique, the 211 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: fact that the strike zone was not static, that it 212 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: changed umpire to umpire, changed batter to batter, changed sometimes 213 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: picture to pictcher, depending on how much of the ball. 214 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different variables. The fact that those 215 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: things were in existence was one of those ticks of life, 216 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: one of those things that weren't exactly static. Now Baseball 217 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: has coldly defined the strike zone as seventeen inches of 218 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: the plate, with eight inches eight and a half inches 219 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: of plate depth depth passing through fifty three point five 220 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: and twenty seven percent of the heights, which again is 221 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: a very technical term that is not you know, doesn't 222 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: it's not entirely necessary to understand specifically what that means. 223 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: It's a percentage of the height of the batter, the 224 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: plate depth, all that sort of stuff. But more broadly speaking, 225 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: he's talking about the very very specific technical grounds of 226 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: which balls and strikes can be called. He goes on 227 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: to say, well, what's the big deal. Almost every sport 228 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: has electronic reviews. Why worry about the occasional clarification from 229 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: the robot umpire. Tennis has moved away from line judges 230 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: and the planet did not stop spinning, which very very 231 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: short side note. Name a tennis player in your head, 232 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: I you're not a tennis fan. Name a tennis player, 233 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: and why is that tennis player John McEnroe? And why 234 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: do you only know John McEnroe from his famous outbursts 235 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: against the line judges. But the small side point he says, 236 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm probably not going to notice ABS, which is the 237 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: new robotic balls and strike calling system. He's probably not 238 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: going to notice it after a few months. Still in 239 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: our endless chase of machined refinement, I think we're missing 240 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: the value of human irregularity. This is something that gets 241 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: lost in the conversation about AI and create creativity. There's 242 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: little doubt that AI can capably produce content, but it 243 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: also introduces a sameness, effectively a monotony, a homogeneity in 244 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: which nothing is too good and nothing is too bad. 245 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: In outsourcing the human, it strips out the soul that 246 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: connects with the audience. I'm not saying there's virtue in 247 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: an umpire being wrong. He's just saying there's perfection that 248 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: might be overrated. Here's what I can basically boil this 249 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: down to imagine your grandmother or your mom's signature meal, 250 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,359 Speaker 1: the meal that you looked forward to every Easter, Thanksgiving, 251 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: or even just every Sunday that you were just excited 252 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: about Grandma's home cooking. Mom's home cooking. Technically speaking, every 253 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: single ingredient, every single process of that meal can be 254 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: mimicked by a machine, and ask yourself, would it be 255 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: as good? 256 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: And why? 257 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Is the answer no? Because there's a human element that 258 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: is missing. There's something about humans doing things that robots 259 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: don't and can never replicate, which is the reason why 260 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: Grandma's home cooking made exactly two Who the tea is 261 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: done better by you having being taught by your grandma 262 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: than some robot that can replicate it exactly to a t. 263 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: For I guess baseball fans, maybe the best depiction can 264 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: be this. Can you imagine the World series ending on 265 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: a robot challenged strike? How how depressing would that be? 266 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: On so many different levels. It is incredibly human to 267 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: make mistakes, I think, is what we're ultimately getting at here. 268 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: And maybe that's the reason philosophically why some of our 269 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: most important texts are not line by line Yes, no, 270 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: absolutes do and do not. Maybe the idea of human discernment. 271 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: The need for human prudence is why the Bible even 272 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: is situational literature and not just a list of things 273 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: that you can and can't do. Maybe the reason that 274 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: stagnant yes or no answers aren't ubiquitous throughout human culture 275 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: and society, even though we've come up with our own 276 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: systems that kind of emulate that. Maybe it's because the 277 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: human element to discern, to show prudence, to show that 278 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 1: even though it's not technically perfect, it still is human, 279 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: is unbelievably important in the idea of life, in the 280 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: idea of humanity. I recognize this might be weird to 281 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: have extrapolated from a sports change, but I genuinely do 282 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: think this is emblematic of a an odd direction that 283 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: we are going in society. I think in many sports 284 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: can be a gateway to the human condition. And my 285 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: fear I think in all of this is that removing 286 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: the human yes may further precision, it may further technical accuracy, 287 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: but at what cost. And my hope is that the 288 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: cost ultimately isn't. In baseball's instance, the beauty of the game, 289 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: the understanding of how to regulate those emotions and the 290 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: consequences of what happens when the umpire winds up his 291 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: fist and throws out a coach for not being able 292 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: to regulate those very human emotions. What happens to the 293 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: sport of baseball, but more broadly, humanity as a whole, 294 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: when we eliminate the possibility for the human element. My 295 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: guess is nothing good. I recognizes a little bit heavy, 296 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit deep for a Friday, and maybe 297 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: a little bit odd that we're using baseball in order 298 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: to analyze the condition that humans are now in in 299 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: trying to defend the human condition. But again, it's Friday. 300 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of news going on. I 301 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of stuff that will probably happen 302 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: over the weekend that is worth talking about, but we'll 303 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: discuss that on Monday. I do think these things are 304 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: incredibly important, but I would love to hear your thoughts 305 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: and your feedback. TPT ATPUSA dot com is the email address. 306 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: What do you think about ABS the baseball computer systems? 307 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: How do you think that plays into the overall human 308 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: element role, not only in baseball, but in life in general. 309 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: As we march further and further towards this hyper accurate 310 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Precision Technical Society. What does that look like going forward? 311 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: If we remove the human element from one of the 312 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: most human things that exists in this case baseball, but 313 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: in so many other different areas TTTPS dot com. I 314 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: would love to hear your thoughts on that. Maybe we'll 315 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: discuss those on Monday. There are several points from around 316 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: the news media that it's pertinent and important to get to, 317 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: and we will do that next segment. When we get 318 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: to the point. We'll be right back after break unk away. 319 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 5: I am so sick of these people coming over here 320 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 5: not speaking English, like not a lack of English. 321 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 6: My liftdriver just left me at my second stop. I 322 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 6: had two stops. He left me at my second stop, 323 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 6: came outside. 324 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: He was gone. 325 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 6: If you don't speak English, I feel like you should 326 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 6: not be qualified. 327 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 5: To do anything pertaining to customer service like lift uber. 328 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 6: I'm tired of it. 329 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 5: How are y'all maneuvering without speaking English? 330 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 6: They just look at you. What I make noises like 331 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 6: they understand you is so irritating. It's so annoying. 332 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: Loll based true. Also, yeah, can confer very very annoying, 333 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: very irritating. Also to it is the law right like 334 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: if you participate in transportation, you're legally required to know English. 335 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: Like that's this federal law. I mean it kind of 336 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: started top down from like airline pilots who are required 337 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: to know English because every airport in the world speaks 338 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: English in order to discuss, you know, landing procedures. Yeah, 339 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: everybody in transportation is required to know English. So maybe 340 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: we just started enforcing that. 341 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: Just a thought. 342 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, lots of points to get to, including 343 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: the no King's protests, which I think is our first 344 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: point that we're getting to today. It is time to 345 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: get to the point, Glenn, we didn't play this singer, 346 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: producer Glenn just coming. This is one of the first 347 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: and most egregious missteps of producer Glenn on this show, 348 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: pulling up the headline before we play the zinger, which 349 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: I know several of you have emailed saying that they're 350 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: called stingers, So we can try that again. Hey, Live TV, 351 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? It is time. 352 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: To get to the point, get to the car, to 353 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: get to the phone. Now. 354 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: The question is did I do a very elongated pause 355 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: to see if I can get Glenn to jump off 356 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: sides and play the zinger before I was ready for it, 357 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: Yes I did. Unfortunately, in my attempt to provide a 358 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: reason for myself to yell at the staff after the show, 359 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: he didn't take the bait. So here we are going 360 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: back to schedule, planned as usual. It is Yeah, we're 361 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: getting to the point. And this is a point that 362 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: I think is I won't bury the lead here. I 363 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: think this is a full blown lie. I don't think 364 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: this is true through at all, which is why I 365 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: think it's important to talk about AP. The Associated Press 366 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: reporting suburbanites embrace anti Trump resistance before No King's Protests, 367 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: saying this is our fight, Alex, I'll take things that 368 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: aren't happening for one hundred. This from the AP. Suburban 369 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: residents in traditionally Republican leaning neighborhoods in areas such as 370 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: maple Wood and Summit in New Jersey are increasingly organizing 371 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: and participating in anti Trump advocate activism. No they are not. 372 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: They're just not viewing his second term as a threat 373 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: to democracy, describing it as an authoritarian nightmare. No they 374 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: are not. They talk about organizers with the Indivisible Movement 375 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: or preparing for a nationwide No King's Protests. This Saturday 376 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: tomorrow with over three thousand demonstrations planned. 377 00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 2: Good luck. 378 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: If I were able to purchase some of your time, 379 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: I would. 380 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 5: Uh. 381 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: They say this again, the AP reporting two thirds of 382 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: them in suburban areas, expecting it turnout exceeding nine million people, 383 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: potentially the largest single day protests in US history. 384 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 2: I doubt it. 385 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: I just I think yesterday we were talking about the Uh, 386 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: it's three million people. It's only one percent of the population. 387 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: Even if it was nine million people, which it will 388 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: not be. Uh, it's three percent of the population. Minuscule, 389 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: small fraction. And I guarantee you it is not former 390 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: Trump voters like there are zero person Yeah, maybe they're 391 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: a little bit frustrated. Maybe affordability stuff is the problem. 392 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: Maybe they're not for what's going on in ran Those 393 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: those are all they are not protesting, no kings. I 394 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: can guarantee you that. Let's see that. Well, here's why 395 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: I think they're doing this. Here's why I think so. 396 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: Rachel Maddout went on, was it it was either Jimmy 397 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Kimmel or Stephen Colbert a couple months ago and said 398 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: the quiet part out loud, Hey, if we can get 399 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: a certain percentage of people to believe that this is 400 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: this nationwide protest, then they actually will start to buy 401 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: into our cause. That is what I think is going 402 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: on here in this AP article. One hundred percent can 403 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: tell you with full confidence that there is not a 404 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: massive ground swell of conservatives who voted for Trump, like 405 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: three times now saying you know what, I'm gonna go protest. 406 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly think that these types of articles are to 407 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: try and gaslight lefties, center lefties, lefties that are on 408 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: the fence into thinking, oh, yeah, conservatives are against them too. No, 409 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: they are not, pound sand ap. Yeah, there might be 410 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: some things that conservatives may be a little frustrated with, 411 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: but to the to the extent of going and protesting 412 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: in the street for the stupidest named protests, no kings, 413 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: which thank you America has been doing for the last 414 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: two hundred fifty years, to say that people who voted 415 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump are now taking to the streets get 416 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: out of town with that associated press. All right, cool, 417 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: so jee at the cost of time. You know, we 418 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: talked a lot about baseball earlier, so let's try and 419 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: jam through these things as quick as we can. Next point, 420 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: this from Fortune magazine of belief social security insolvency. How 421 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: six figure always six figure cap to flatten benefits for 422 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: the ultra wealthy could buy the seven program seven critical years. 423 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: Let me just summarize this very briefly. The Social Security 424 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: Retirement Fund, the trust fund is that his social Security 425 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: is completely insolvent. The CBO I think predicted two years 426 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: ago that it's got ten years left before it's just 427 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: not workable or functionable. But the new fix is now, hey, umm, 428 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: because this is in solvent, maybe we should start taking 429 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: more from people who make more, who, by the way, 430 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: also probably aren't. 431 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: Going to use it. 432 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: No mention of okay, so what what has the return 433 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: been on been like in the Social Security Fund? Has 434 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: it been good or has it been one of the 435 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: worst performing funds in the history of humanity? And I 436 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: know there's probably some of you who are retired and 437 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: probably screaming at your TV saying, ah, you can't cut 438 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: social Security. We paid into it. Fair point. 439 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: Also, maybe it should have been governed. 440 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: A little bit better by everybody who was paying into it, 441 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: because it has not returned nearly the investment that was 442 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: put into it by all the folks who were forced 443 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: to pay into it. And saying that, well, we're just 444 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna take more from the rich people who again aren't 445 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: going to use it. Even if that were the gaze, 446 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: it just says, say, scenario where all this stuff goes through. 447 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 2: Okay, cool, so abought the program seven years what happened? 448 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 6: What about after that? 449 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: We need to the whole system needs to get revamped 450 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: in some way that makes sense where it doesn't just 451 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: eliminate all of the folks who are in retirement now, 452 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: doesn't eliminate that, but also finds a workaround that can 453 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: make it so it doesn't collapse in eight years. Why 454 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 1: this is such a big issue. I don't know why 455 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: this is such a big problem, How it's become such 456 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: a big problem, How it's becomes such a big problem. 457 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: I totally understand the government is not good at really 458 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: doing anything. But I believe We've got a clip about 459 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: this later coming up another Live with a bad idea. 460 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: But again I repeat myself. Next clip, next point to 461 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: get to an appeals court. Let's the Trump administrations from 462 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: CBS News. Appeals Court lets Trump administration hold many immigration 463 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: detainees without bond. Because this is like couched in the 464 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: way that CBS well CBS This interesting one. Barry Wise's 465 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: CBS better than other mainstream not perfect, but better, even 466 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: though the ratings haven't quite reflect that as of yet. 467 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: But a three panel, three judge panel in the US 468 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: Court of Appeals in the Eighth Circuit rule two to 469 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: one on March twenty fifth in favor of President Trump 470 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: administration allowing immigration detainees who entered the United States without 471 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: inspection or admission to be held in mandatory detention without 472 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: bond hearings because if you don't, they'll just disappear into 473 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: the country. That just seems like duh. Bond is claiming 474 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: it's a massive court victory, which it is, but it's 475 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: also just one of those obvious things like, hey, if 476 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: you stuck into the country illegally and you were arrested 477 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: and detained, no, you shouldn't be able to put up 478 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: a bond that you don't have or something. 479 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. Those bonds will probably be what ten. 480 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: Dollars, All right, cool, here's a thousand pasos or whatever 481 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: the currency crossover would be. No, yeah, of course not, 482 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: because then there's they'll be gone forever. You'll never see 483 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: those people again. Okay, let's see from the New York Times. 484 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: I honestly just. 485 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: Thought this one was funny. 486 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: Jury, So let me just set this up really quick. 487 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: Chance the Rapper, who you probably have never heard of, 488 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: I happen to be a big fan his former manager 489 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: was sued him, and then he sued the former manager back. 490 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: First guy sued him for three point eight million dollars 491 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: in unpaid commissions royalties under their informal handshake agreement, which 492 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: dated back all the way to twenty twelve. Chance the 493 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: Rapper then sued for a million dollars alleging a breach 494 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: of fiduciary duty, which you know, the manager hands a 495 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: lot of the finances. This whole thing gets just crazy, 496 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: going on years long battle in court. Five year battle 497 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: in court ultimately comes out jury awards Chance the Rapper 498 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: the person who sued retro or in response to the 499 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: first lawsuit, with thirty five dollars in damages. In other words, 500 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of attorneys made a ton of money of 501 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: these two former friends suing each other for only the 502 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: jury to decide, yes, we agree that this guy's in 503 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: the wrong, This guy's in the wrong here, this guy's 504 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: in the right here. Thirty five bucks is the penalty 505 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: and that made it into the New York Times. 506 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: Okay, I just thought that was funny. 507 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: Of all the things, millions of dollars in lawsuits and 508 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: countersuits thirty five bucks. Okay, speaking of ridiculousness, it will 509 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: be our last headline for the week here, Washington Free Beacon. 510 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: You remember Claudine Gay. Lot of people with the last 511 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: name Gay in the show today. Probably nothing, nothing to 512 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: extrapolate out of that, just a coincidence. Ousted Harvard president 513 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: Claudine Gay to teach Harvard course on politics in highigher 514 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: Education two years after resigning in disgrace. If you remember, 515 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: Claudine Gay was wrapped up in the plagiarism scandal, among 516 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: many of the other scandals. Remember she also testified on 517 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: behalf of like the Hamas protesters who said some ridiculous 518 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: things in those hearings. I think it was at least 519 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Stephonic who was grilling her at the time, said some 520 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: awful stuff there, but then also was found to have 521 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: plagiarized a bunch of stuff and therefore had to resign. Well, 522 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: the resignation didn't last long. She is now going to 523 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: be teaching politics in higher education starting fall of twenty 524 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: twenty six a course titled what is a University Purpose? 525 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: And Politics in Higher Education? The small application only tutorial, 526 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: which is capped at sixteen students will use Harvard specific 527 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: cases to and histories to examine the data. But yeah, 528 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter what the course isottom line. 529 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: Is a ton of controversy around Claudine Gay, which led 530 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: to her resignation, of which included a bunch of Jewish racism, 531 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: racism against Jews, and plagiarism. 532 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: And she sourced resigned. 533 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,719 Speaker 1: Now she's working back at the institution. So that just 534 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 1: goes to show you the steadfast commitment to integrity that 535 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: Harvard has. All Right, those are all the points that 536 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: we got to today. Fit my favorite. Okay, official Business 537 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: is my favorite segment of the show, but on Friday, 538 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: specifically the clip cleanouts of Official Business or yes, other 539 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: clips have made it into clip cleanout is my favorite 540 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: segment of the week. Time for the clip cleanout coming 541 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: up right after the break. TBTTBUSA dot com is the 542 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: email address. We'll be right back, don't go away. 543 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 7: Alarming images across South LA. This looks like it was 544 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 7: a mattress or something just blocks from where a woman 545 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 7: was found living in a storm drain. How does this 546 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 7: area of La compared to Guatemala? 547 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 2: Oh my god, better of this. 548 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 7: There were people living in the storm drain next to 549 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 7: your house. Okay, you don't seem that surprised. 550 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 6: In South LA, it's kind of light normal. 551 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: I guess that that's the worst thing anybody has ever said. Hey, 552 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: there's a person living in your storm drain, and that's 553 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: kind of normal. Unfortunately, I kind of have the same 554 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: sentiment when it comes to the normalcy of the ridiculous 555 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: nature that we've put ourselves in California. I will the 556 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 1: one big contention I have is do they pay property tax? 557 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: The guy who built a three story treehouse on the 558 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: sidewalk in Los Angeles was like allowed to live there. 559 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: Is that guy paying property tax? The people that are 560 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: camping out on the beach, are they paying property tax 561 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: for their beachfront property. I can't afford to live by 562 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: the beach. I would love to live by the beach, 563 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 1: But among the many factors involved with me not living 564 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: by the beach is property tax. And are those homeless 565 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: bums and junkies who are taking up public space because 566 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: they decided to and we've allowed them. Are they paying 567 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: property tax? Of course the answer is no, which case, 568 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: maybe they should go to a property auction and maybe 569 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: I'd be able to bid on that ocean property. All right, Uh, 570 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: the risk of laboring on too much. About that point, 571 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: it is time for my favorite segment of the week. 572 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: It is time to clean out the clips.

This is 610 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 3: an outrage. We should not have an agency that America 611 00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 3: doesn't trust an agency that literally has seen violence against Americans, 612 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 3: an agency that is tearing away American families, tearing apart 613 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 3: American families, and arresting and detaining Americans and violating to 614 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 3: process rights and civil rights. 615 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: Okay, here's my only quibble with this is that is 616 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: President Trump sending Don Lemon and his production staff to 617 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: the airports because he said, oh, the same agency there's 618 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: breaking into our churches.

Actually, 647 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom, that doesn't seem like very big. 648 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 2: Probably, No, it's. 649 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: A code red on the alarms. 650 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 2: I just I don't know.

If I could actually levitate, that'd be fantastic. 696 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,760 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, The story for this week being wiser 697 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: by the week comes out of Los Angeles, in which 698 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: an all female group finishing up brunch at the lounge 699 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: at a restaurant named Zia, which is one of your 700 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: hash posh new hip places. 701 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 2: Hold on, this is according. 702 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: To your They were finishing brunch around five pm on Sunday. 703 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: The hell kind of brunches at five pm? Brunches the 704 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 1: combination of breakfast and lunch. Who eats that at five pm? 705 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: Unless you're waking up at noon. Even then, five pm 706 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: is still kind of late. What kind of night did 707 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: you have on Saturday? Anyway? Well, maybe that's why. Maybe 708 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: the Saturday night is what led to the Sunday five 709 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: pm brunch vicious fight that broke out over the check 710 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: In a terrifying escalation, two people ended up stabbed and 711 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: another one had a bottle smashed over their head due 712 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: to the check being picked up. What is the point 713 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: of wisdom that we can take here? Take away from here? 714 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: I will say this, I can understand that people would 715 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: be upset if a check was dropped off. And then 716 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: let's just say, hypothetically, we don't know the specific reasons 717 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: why of a group of four women, two people were 718 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: stabbed and all were sent to the high hospital over 719 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: the bill. I can only imagine that somebody did a 720 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: little bit of an aggressive order, and then when the 721 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: bill came, they said, let's go ahead and split this check. No, no, no, 722 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 1: no no. I got water in a salad. You got 723 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 1: a four hundred dollars bottle of champagne, and the most 724 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: expensive steak on the menu, and an appetizer and a dessert. 725 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: We're not gonna split this bill. My bill was fifteen dollars, 726 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: yours was nine hundred. This is not an equal sharing. 727 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: That is what possibly could lead you to, I don't know, 728 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: be in a stabby mood. Well, what is the wisdom 729 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: that you extrapolate this from this being cheap and cost 730 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: effective and in many ways is in many ways of virtue. 731 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: That is the wisdom that we should extrapolate from this situation. One, 732 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: buying expensive things for the soul's sake of them being 733 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: expensive is not cool. Nobody appreciates it, especially if you're 734 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna try and split the bill with them. 735 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 2: And two, being mindful. 736 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: Of your costs some may call them cheap is also 737 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: a virtue. Two pieces of wisdom to take from this 738 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: week as you head on. 739 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 2: Into your weekend. 740 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 1: And lastly, uh, if you find yourself in a situation 741 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: where one you're trying to save some money and two 742 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: your friend is being completely insane with the spending, uh, 743 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: don't stab them.

In 783 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: the place where I live, I've teased stories about my 784 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: lib neighbors. We've got several lib neighbors and several even 785 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: the email have been like, hey, give us some examples 786 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: of what happens. Oh, I'll tell you. 787 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 6: So let me just. 788 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 2: Preface it like this. 789 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: There are people in our neighborhood we see walking and 790 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: we're very cordial. 791 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 2: We're very kind to people because conservatives are very kind. 792 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,280 Speaker 1: They're polite to everybody, and they don't hate people based 793 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: on their political affiliation, even though Libs and their political 794 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: affiliation are more worth hating than others. But there's this 795 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 1: couple that walks by our house fairly frequently walking their dog. 796 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: They're nice enough, they're kind, but we struck up many 797 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: a conversation with these folks, and we've learned that they 798 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: do not see the world the same way that we 799 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: see the world. They have mentioned on multiple occasions that 800 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,399 Speaker 1: while we were gonna have to leave the country if 801 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: things get bad, they are those types of people. They 802 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: also have apparently taken multiple steps to actually moving out 803 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: of the country, to which I say good riddance. Obviously 804 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 1: if there I'll continue to be polite and say hello. 805 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: But one thing led to another, and because they're wanting 806 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: to move out of the country. They invited my wife 807 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: and I to go see their house with the possibility 808 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: of potentially buying it from them. I do not, and 809 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: we don't need to get into the reasons as to 810 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 1: why I do not want to buy that house. But 811 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: on the home tour we realized just how tds there. 812 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 1: They opened up the garage show was in the garage. 813 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,240 Speaker 1: I kid you not, there was a Donald Trump punching 814 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: bag in the garage. Now, there's lots of things that 815 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: can be said about this, but what I think is 816 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: the biggest, broadest, most expansive. 817 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 2: Takeaway is how. 818 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: Libs think that their ideas are so ubiquitous, so shared, 819 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: and how confident they are to assume that, well, we 820 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 1: just clearly have the same belief now in the minimal 821 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: amount of time we have left here, I would like 822 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,760 Speaker 1: to actually encourage conservatives to do the same thing my wife, 823 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: and my wife doesn't like that I do this, but 824 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: I assume that everybody I talk to now is conservative, 825 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 1: and mind you, libs are doing this all the time. 826 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 1: In other words, when we meet people, I don't ask 827 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: them like kind of tiptoey questions like how do you 828 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: see the world, I say, oh, what church do you 829 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 1: guys go do with the assumption that they go to church, 830 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: which then puts them in sometimes an awkward situation, or 831 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: it lets me know, Hey, their church going people that 832 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: we can trust and hang out with. Bottom line, libs 833 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: are going to be take assumptions on everybody around them 834 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: because they have a very narrow worldview. We should do 835 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 1: the same. Have a great weekend, try asking people where 836 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: they go to church. See you on Monday. 837 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 2: God bless America.
