Ninety year old white hippies. Hard to imagine 8 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: why that is our general manager. 9 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: They are joined as co general managers by angry young 10 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: twenty one year old women, the twin towers of protests 11 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: in America, old hippies trying to relive the Civil Rights 12 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: era and youngsters who just want to yell about something 13 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: because they really ought to be getting laid and getting jobs, 14 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: but they're not doing that. 15 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Ninety year old hippies should be out trying to get sex. No, 16 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the youngsters. I just said very clear. I thought I 17 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: got confused there. Really at the end they got confused. 18 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: Although certainly if the ninety year olds want to, you know, 19 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: engage in sweet sweet loving, they should. 20 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: With the help of some sort of pill that we 21 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: should probably be endorsing like every other host in America. Yeah, 22 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: there does seem to be a hot market for that. 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: There does seem to be, doesn't there? And particularly how 24 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: what how y'all doing? You excited? Huh about the day 25 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: on the weekend and everything and everything going thing? How 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: are things going? You know, we never talk? How are 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: things going for you? Oh? That's good here? And then 28 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: you you don't really listen. You just you wait for 29 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: the space where they stop talking, and then you jump 30 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: back in right how you are because that's why you asked. Yeah, 31 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: that's why you ask because you want to tell them 32 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: how things are going for you, because something either bad 33 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: that you want to explain or something really good just 34 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: happened in your life, but you're just polite enough to 35 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: not or is that actually a higher level of selfishness 36 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: instead of just saying I would like to tell you 37 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: about this and telling you you lure them, you dupe them, 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: you swindle them into sharing their feelings first to give 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: you permission. I would argue that is far worse, I 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: think you're right than just walking up and saying, you 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: know what, yesterday I had a kidney stone or something 42 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: hurt like hell was crazy? You ever had one. It's terrible. 43 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: Buddy of mine had a kidney stone the other day. 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: He's had problems. He couldn't figure out what was one 45 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: with the doctor a couple of times, and then all 46 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: of a sudden, he passed a kidney stone, which is 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: a very calm term for something that I guess is 48 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: not that calm. I've never done it before, but past 49 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: sounds like it sounds easy. It's just like, you know, 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: I passed, Sure, I passed a test, I passed a 51 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: car on the highway, and then I passed a kidney stone. Okay, 52 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: only one of them did I do while screaming? From 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: what I understand, even sent me a picture of it. 54 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: He held it in the poems and and sent me 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: a picture. How kind. So Congress is coming back here 56 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: pretty soon, do you know that? And apparently a couple 57 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: of the really big issues when Congress comes back are 58 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: going Russia. Obviously Israel, which announced today approved by the 59 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: way actually legally approved in the government, new settlements on 60 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: the West Bank, which is going to be an issue 61 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: for Congress for some reason. And Epstein. Epstein is going 62 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: to be back, according to people who follow politics. The 63 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: only reason it died down is because Congress left town 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: and now you're going to come back, and all that 65 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: demanding files and stuff is going to return. I just 66 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: I have no stomach or interest for it, but I 67 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: suppose to be in the news. Yeah, the only aspect 68 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: of the Epstein case that really interests me at this point, 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: and I came across a great report on it. These 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,559 Speaker 1: folks went to the trouble. 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: Of documenting all of the law enforcement and prosecutorial sweet 72 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: deals and backslaps from the entire history of the first 73 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: reports of his You know, young girl perversions, And I 74 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: would just recommend this to you, if you are a 75 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: pervert and an exploiter of young women, be the richest 76 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: guy in Manhattan and or the richest guy in whatever 77 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: part of Florida he was in, and have lots of 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: powerful friends, because that gets you some really pushed treatment, really. 79 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: Legally speaking, like you do something wrong, you get to 80 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 1: preferential treatment. 81 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: That's your saying a lot of yeah, we'll take care 82 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: of this, or you're right, she's a crackpot, don't worry, 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: but we'll make this go away. Or when when just 84 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: all the evidence is there and and it's time to 85 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: go to trial, the sweetest sweetheart deal ever fashioned in 86 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 2: the history of of justice in Florida for the guy right, 87 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: which became absolutely scandalous. And then the prosecutor ended up 88 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: in Trump's cabinet, which is odd. 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: And when the really really rich get special treatment, is 90 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: that mostly because of leverage they have what they can 91 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: do for you? Is it some sort of emotional we 92 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: want to be their friends or think they're better than us, 93 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: or is there something like that. I think you've done 94 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: a lovely job running down like the three biggest aspects 95 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: of it.

The richest guy in town is my buddy now, right, 101 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: So it'd be really cool if. 102 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: He likes me. Yeah. Overnight, one of the largest attacks 103 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: by Russia on Ukraine since the entire war began. How's 104 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: that peace process coming along? Six hundred missiles, drones, rockets, 105 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: whatever fired at Ukraine. I heard a number of reports 106 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: today which I find almost humorous. If it weren't for 107 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: the fact that people were dying. And this is an 108 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: awful situation. But where they say it's really going to 109 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: damage the hopes for a cease fire. All right, how 110 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: long do we pretend that one side has any I 111 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: heard somebody say yesterday. You know, one of the problems 112 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: with this whole ceasfire peace plan is neither of the 113 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: sides in the war have any interest in stopping fighting. 114 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: Neither side certainly not, you know, given the other sides 115 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: red line demands. 116 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: No, no, And by the way, it's you know, twenty 117 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: twenty hind sight at this point. But Lavrov showing up 118 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: in that Soviet Union CCCP sweatshirt, that was the moment 119 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: you should have known it was over, absolutely over. Lavrov 120 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: made a statement yesterday that oh yeah, peace, steel, peace keeping. 121 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: That sounds great. I think the UN Security Council, the 122 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: permanent members of the UN Security Council ought to figure 123 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: that out. 124 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: Oh that's right, we're. 125 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: One of the members in China is one of the 126 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: other members, so us in China we will come up 127 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: with a security plan for Ukraine. 128 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Sounds good. That was Lavrov's message yesterday, right, And as 129 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you pointed out, yesterday, and I didn't hear anywhere else 130 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: Putin suggesting the agreement be the same place that the 131 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: last agreement from nineteen ninety four was made between Russia 132 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: and the United States and Great Britain about how, hey, 133 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: we'll give up your nuclear weapons and we'll take care 134 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: of you, we'll support you, we'll protect you, protect you. 135 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: That from nineteen ninety four.

That 137 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: obviously was on purpose. That obviously was a like a troll. 138 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: It was a troll. It was one hundred percent of troll. Oh, 139 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: you're going to sign a security agreement with the West, 140 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: why don't we go back to Budapest and sign that, Vladimir. 141 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: That was one hundred percent troll.

Everything 291 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: doesn't need a name. Being a bad person is just 292 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: being a bad person. 293 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: From the New York Post, disturbing video captures moment wild 294 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: carnival cruise ship brawl breaks out over chicken tenders running 295 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: low and I'm hungry.

California has created one 321 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: of the most overregulated, expensive and risking environments for businesses 322 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: in America. It's a system that makes it harder to 323 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to 324 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: deliver value to customers. The result higher taxes, higher fees, 325 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: higher wages that many businesses simply can't sustain, and endless 326 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: regulations that strangled growth. And it goes on and on 327 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: and on with things that are very true about why 328 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: California usually finishes fiftieth out of fifty on any sort 329 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: of business climate ranking every year. 330 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: Right, he makes like a passing nod of the head 331 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: toward crime as well, But you know that's a huge 332 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: problem for retail too. The fabulous Katie Grimes of the 333 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 2: California Globe happened to write an article pretty recently how 334 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: to kill a state in five easy steps, the gist 335 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: of which is California is one of only five states 336 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: that haven't recovered to pre COVID job levels, and even 337 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: the partial recovery is entirely dependent on government jobs. California 338 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: Center for Jobs in the Economy you recently reported California's 339 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 2: job growth has been dominated by government and government dependent 340 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: jobs and healthcare and social assistance blah blah blah. Today 341 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: California ranks toward the bottom and attracting all newcomers from 342 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: other parts of the country. Of California lost more than 343 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand net migrants twenty five or older. Then 344 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: it was only illegal immigration that made that number look 345 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 2: not as bad. 346 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: Yes, and here's that's an interesting thing. So California's got 347 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: a couple of things that prop it up in ways 348 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: that the numbers would be much worse. So the outflow 349 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: of people for the first time in the state's history 350 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: that started a couple of years ago would be much, much, 351 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: much worse if you took out a legal immigration and 352 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: then the same with the economy. You take out a 353 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: couple of giant tech companies that are the biggest in 354 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: the world that just happened to be in California, and 355 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: then you ain't got much. Well, listen to this. 356 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: Sits since September of twenty two, when Gavy had the 357 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: state on full lockdown, more than virtually any other state. 358 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: Although you know, similar to other blue states. California lost 359 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: a net one hundred and fifty four thousand jobs in 360 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: the private sector. Okay lost one hundred and fifty four 361 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 2: thousand gained three hundred and sixty one thousand in the 362 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 2: government sector. Wow, according to California's nonpartisan Legislative Analysts Office 363 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: last year, which is dominated by Democrats even though it's 364 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: non partisans. 365 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: How does one state gain three hundred thousand government jobs 366 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: in a year? What are they? 367 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: What are they doing while while they lose one hundred 368 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: and fifty four thousand in the private sector. So you 369 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: too can have this sort of stagnation government bloat in 370 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 2: overspending vote Gavin Newsom twenty twenty eight. 371 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: Well, government doesn't make money, so I don't know how 372 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: you can could sustain that because the salaries have to 373 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: be paid by people outside of government. Right. You know, 374 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: if the Gavy bashing was going to continue, I've got 375 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: some other great coverage of the brand new guidelines for 376 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: math teaching in cal Unicornia. Unhappy, isn't it? Well, I 377 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: don't have to do it now, No, not at all. 378 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Is every day to come in there and make me unhappy, 379 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: make everybody angry, That's point they said. I'm angry. I 380 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: want every day. I'm like a drunk. I'm drunk. I 381 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: want everybody to be a drunk. I'm pissed off. I 382 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: want everybody pissed off, right. 383 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: Uh No, but my point in even bringing it up, 384 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: and it's about what you'd think. The California Mathematics framework 385 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 2: is built on the ideology that equity means well, it 386 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: means lowering standards for everyone, that they're going to eliminate 387 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: any ability to achieve in math, to take advanced math. 388 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: Everybody's going to be mediocre in math in the name 389 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: of equity. 390 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: And we can get you know, into this more detail later. 391 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: It's the insidious, insidious philosophy in the land of Silicon 392 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: Valley and tech jobs. It's like the tech center of 393 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: the universe. The Marxist government is trying to make it 394 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: impossible to achieve in stem. Nobody happy. It doesn't make 395 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: the kids on the lower end happy or the upper 396 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: end happy. No, nobody's happy. No, it's it's a miserable, miserable, 397 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: suicidal philosophy. And uh but my point in bringing it 398 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: up is is not that, well, it's it's kind of 399 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: don't annoy you into action, but to realize, even as 400 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has made fantastic progress in rolling back 401 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the woke crap, a lot of the postmodernism, 402 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: neo Marxist equity crap. It is still on the march 403 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: in education and media for that matter. You know, you 404 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: want to hear the New York Times lead story on 405 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: their website. 406 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: The number one headline you see at New York Times 407 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: dot com today. In Trump's ideal picture of America, diversity 408 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: is taboo. It's about Trump trying to reign in the 409 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: Marxist Smithsonian Institution and how all of our museums have 410 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: become like leftist teaching centers. So, in Trump's ideal picture 411 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: of America, diversity is taboo. 412 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: Here's the subhead. Using the full power of the federal government, 413 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: President Trump has promoted a vision of America that challenges 414 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: the legitimacy of the black experience. Perfect example of a Mott. 415 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: And Bailey argument, or a as I prefer, castle in 416 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: courtyard because nobody knows what a freaking modern Bailey are. 417 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 2: But anyway, so you have these museums that are you know, 418 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: the toast of the world, Smith's Smithsonian Institution, and you 419 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: know a lot of great museums in America, Well they've 420 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: all been taken over by far leftis I can attest. 421 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: To this having been to them recently, please in detail, 422 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: constantly rolling my eyes as you go through every plaque 423 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: you read has something about climate change or colonialism or 424 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: white people taking over something or other. Everything you can't 425 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: read about, you know, an ancient beaver without getting hit 426 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: with some about climate change or colonialism. Right exactly, It's 427 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: become a drum beat. They have become a drum beat 428 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: of leftist indoctrination. And Trump's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. 429 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: I want to know about the giant beaver. I don't 430 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: need to hear about colonialism. How big was the thing? 431 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Right? 432 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: And so, for instance, the you know, the museum of 433 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: the National African American Museum or the National LATINIX Museum, 434 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: which may or may not exist because a bunch of 435 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: Latino scholars said, hey, this is incredibly insulting. It just 436 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 2: casts us all as victims and pathetic. It's not what 437 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: we are at all. We're strong and resilient and you know, 438 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: entered blah blah blah. So anyway, if you say, hey, 439 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: you've turned museums into like Marxist three education centers. This guy, 440 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: Zolon Kano Young's for the New York Times with the 441 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: endorsement of the New York Times says, Oh, you're trying 442 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: to deny the legitimacy of the plaque experience. 443 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Uh no, I'm not. No, the black experience is fine 444 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: and legitimate, and let's talk about it. But you don't 445 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: have to teach Marxism at every plaque in every museum. 446 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: So you're denying the legitimacy of the black experience, all right. 447 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: So I want to get to this later. Speaking of teaching, 448 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: because school's starting again, a lot of teachers oppose lessons 449 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: on gender. This gets to the thing probably the biggest 450 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: story we've had in the week, that study that came 451 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: out that shows that lots of people are an agreement 452 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: on these things, but they're scared to say it out 453 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: loud because they don't know that they're in the majority exactly. 454 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: In fact, they assume they're in the minority until the 455 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: damn breaks then then it's over. And I think it 456 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: might be that way with teachers on a lot of 457 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: this stuff that they're supposed to be teaching. So we 458 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: can get to that Pew study later. 459 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 2: So a number of years ago, my sweet bride and 460 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: I got a security system and it was very expensive 461 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: and we ended up not using it because it was 462 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: balky and just it was a pain in the ass. 463 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: Ah, but you were probably locked into a contract so 464 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: you couldn't get rid of it. That was the upside. 465 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: We were locked into a long, multi year contract, so 466 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: we had that bill, that stupid bill every single month. Well, 467 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: simply simply Safe Home Security improves on every single aspect 468 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: of that. It just turns the world of home security 469 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: upside down. Simply Safe new active guard, outdoor protection, help 470 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: stop breakings before they can happen. And it's incredibly affordable. Yeah, 471 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: about a dollar a day and no contracts because simply 472 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: Safe believes you're going to use the system and like 473 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: it and want to keep doing it, and that's why 474 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: they've been so successful.

You want the major 484 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: breaking giraffe news, I do. My son's going to be 485 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 1: really into this. He's super into evolution and species and 486 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: genus and all that different sort of stuff for animals 487 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: and humans. I have a feeling that's going to be 488 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: what he ends up doing with his life, because he's 489 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: just endlessly fascinated by it. Has he ever fed a giraffe? 490 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 491 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: I think he should. Okay, I get a high priority. 492 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: They're amazing. Their tongues are like a foot and a 493 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 2: half long, black as spades. 494 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: So uh. It's always been assumed that there is just 495 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: one draft species because it's so unique as an animal. 496 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: Turns out there are four distinct species of draff. Four. 497 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: I'll be down. So I need to look into that. 498 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: There's no way they like developed separately. They must come 499 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: from one common ancestor or something that like that and 500 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: then split off. But different dog breeds are not different species. 501 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm gonna have to look into that. 502 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: But it reminded me of when it was announced last 503 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: year something like that. There I think there are twenty 504 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: three or is it thirty two. Either way, it's a 505 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: lot different examples of eyeballs independently coming into being as 506 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: an evolutionary thing. It didn't all come from like one 507 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: time miraculously an eyeball eyes became a thing and then 508 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: it spread out into all the different beasts many many, many, 509 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: many different times. It just independently on its own became 510 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: a thing, which I find fascinating. Right, you needed to 511 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: see and then something just tappened over gazillions of years 512 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: to where he ended up with sight. Anyway, Well, I 513 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: don't expect that fish would have bred with gorillas, so 514 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: it makes sense that it would have had to have 515 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: or no, no, no, no, I see what you're saying. Yeah, 516 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: because if you get close enough to the beginning of 517 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: the beginning and whether you think the Good Lord directed 518 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: that or not, let's not get into that argument. But oh, 519 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: let's get into it deeply. I don't think. 520 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: Belief in God is at all, you know, oppositional to science. 521 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: I don't get people who do anyway. Ah, yeah, that 522 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: is absolutely fascinating. 523 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all going back to one thing, my son 524 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: has got this cool giant poster in his room of 525 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: all of the beasts of the world going down, down, 526 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: down in a tree, down to uh, you know, basically 527 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: one thing. And it's really interesting. Actually, So here's the 528 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: truest thing I've ever said. Just popped into my head. 529 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Somebody jot this down. Human beings can't even conceive really 530 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: of a thousand years, no, for obvious reasons. We're not 531 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: built to. So the idea that we could conceive of 532 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty million years is hilarious and contemplate 533 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: the evolution of beasts across millions and millions and millions 534 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: and millions of generations. Yeah, beyond arkins. My son likes 535 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: to use this example. He did this when we were 536 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: at the Dinosaur Museum, where he was so thrilled. He 537 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: was like running around with his hands in the air shouting, 538 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: he was so excited. But that we are closer to 539 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the t rex on the timeline than the t rex 540 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: is to the stegosaurus. Yea, even though they're often put 541 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: together in movies. 542 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just to summarize, and then there are dinosaurs 543 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: for a little bit anyway, right. 544 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: Right exactly, We got mailbag on the way and much 545 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: more news of the day. Stay here. Okay, apparently we're 546 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to go big on shreking. It is an 547 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: actual thing, both reading about it in USA today and 548 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: getting a text from someone I know about the dating world, 549 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: and shrekking is a thing. There are women out there shrekking. 550 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: So we'll have to talk about that next hour. Calculating 551 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: beaches an interesting idea. Oh boy, here's your freedom loving 552 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: quote of the day. 553 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 2: Continuing on our series about voting, I thought this was interesting. 554 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: It was from FDR of all people. 555 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 2: But democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice 556 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 2: are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, 557 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: is education. Interesting given our discussion of a few minutes ago, 558 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 2: or for instance, the state of California, democratic supermajority is 559 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: trying to ruin education, you know, achieve equity in maths, 560 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 2: nobody achieves everybody gets to see in basic math, and 561 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: nobody does anything else. And did the found turn public 562 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: schools into induction nation factories? Did the founding fathers have 563 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: a blind spot to government running education and then getting twisted? 564 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: Uh? I don't think they conceived of it. There wasn't 565 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: any I mean, public education was came about in the 566 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: progressive movement of the early twentieth century. Really, how did 567 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: schools work before then? I don't actually know this. I 568 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: don't think there's a blind spot for me. I need 569 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: to be established by the town fathers and parents or whatever, 570 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: and all the students would chip right, and the parents 571 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: would chip into pay the screen, and you'd probably teach 572 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: something reflective of your local culture. Well right, yeah, and 573 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: the basics obviously, But yeah, and the progressives made no 574 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: bones about it in the early twentieth century that public 575 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: schools were an effort to teach the kids not to 576 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: be like their parents. Woodrow Wilson said so, quite quite bluntly. 577 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: I love it when people use the term when we 578 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: use the term government run schools, because it's a better framing. 579 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. Mailbag send us a note. Mail Bag 580 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 2: at Armstrong e getty dot com. 581 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: Maybe one day, when Jack is on vacation or something, 582 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do an entire day of just reading emails. 583 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: We had one hundred fifty at least that were clever, funny, insightful, ironic, surprising, whatever, 584 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: and we just don't have time to get to many 585 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: of them. But thanks for writing anyway. This is very important. 586 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: It's a very special email from Ricky, the Bricky, Jack, Joe. 587 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: The rest of the crew.

Wow. It's 597 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: been further determined that Jack Armstrong, Michaelangelo, and Katie Green 598 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: are guilty conspiring to administer a buzzer part under false pretenses. 599 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: That's right, hitting me with the buzzer because I forgot 600 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: about cow.

However, 607 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 2: it is clear that your intention was to signal your patriarchal, 608 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 2: white yacht driving, post apocalyptic beaver serving, privileged woman loving 609 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 2: class to the rest of the listeners. The masses say 610 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 2: Frankenstein or even a Frankenstein lording over the noble ignorance, 611 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 2: that you understand that the doctor is Frankenstein and not 612 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 2: the monster is truly monstrous. Time to look in the 613 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: mirror of my friend, you know, Sean, I appreciate that 614 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: being so over the top, stupidiculous, but only a few 615 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: years ago or still in education, if you said. 616 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: I am offended, and I said I didn't mean it 617 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: like that, that doesn't matter. That to your intent doesn't 618 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: matter at all. Could get you branded a racist. Sure, 619 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: A completely invented, neurotic, bizarre, out of nowhere offense at 620 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: something inoffensive was proof that the person who spoke it 621 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: is the bad person. If you don't understand how that's 622 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a tool of submission and domination and has nothing to 623 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: do with justice or race, well then you're a fool, 624 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: my friend, and I pity you. 625 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 2: That was condescension. God say how about this Jay, the 626 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 2: fabulous JT and Livermore. I need you or somebody like 627 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 2: Mike Lyons to explain to me why Putin needs to 628 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: meet with Zelensky and or sign a new border's treaty. 629 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: This isn't rhetorical. 630 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 2: Putin Russia have already shown that signing a treaty or 631 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 2: a treaty like agreement means nothing to Putin. The very 632 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 2: reason Ukraine is in the bind that's in is because 633 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: Russia chose not to under several agreements. So why is 634 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: anybody spending any effort to get them to sign a 635 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: new agreement? What would that even mean? 636 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: Well, the Telegraph reported yesterday there are ten countries willing 637 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: to send troops, ten European countries. If you had a 638 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: whole bunch of troops there, it would mean something because 639 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: you violate that with ten different europe NATO countries troops there. 640 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: But well, and okay, and that's a good point because 641 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: he says, name one thing that would be different if 642 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: the deployment of European troops if Putin signed an agreement, 643 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: it would establish what trip Wire was in effect, for 644 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: them to fight back. Yeah, absolutely it. It's for them. 645 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: It's not for Poote, Armstrong and
