Speaker 2: Respiratory illness activity remains high across much of the country.

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Twenty three states are listed as high.

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Or very high.

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: The CDC says flu activity is elevated nationwide and this

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: is now classified as a high severity flu season for

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: all age groups for the first time in seven years.

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: Officials estimate there have been nineteen thousand flu deaths so

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: far this season.

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 3: Wow, I just did a little trip, so I was

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: in airports, I was on planes, I was in ubers,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: I was in restaurants, et cetera. And I don't feel

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: I have a sore throat today and a couple other

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: symptoms I won't mention anyway. I google them and and

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: it says unmentionable symptoms. Is anybody else's mind going wild

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: right now? Show a handy you know what it is.

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: If it's unmentionable, you know what it is. And I'm

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: not going to mention it. But it's definitely enough, Uh,

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: the symptoms I have. It says I could have the flu.

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: I mean like the first five hits where if I

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: have a sore throat and the things that I'm not

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: going to mention, it's the flu.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: It's the gallup of trotz, folks, that's what I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, emailed.

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: Your guess is the mail bagget I'm drunk and getting

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: don't don't.

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: Oh boy, yeah, I've got a good friend. He and

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: his wife laid low low for week ten days.

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: Now I got too much to do. My son had

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: My son had a sore throat last night.

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Not good.

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: So he had a sore throat. Now I've got a

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: sore throat. And I told him he can't be sick.

37
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Dude.

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: We got school, got a bunch of things going on

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: in school, volleyball games, practice.

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Can't be sick. But we'll see.

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: Well, talk to the microbes, not your son. They're in charge. Ah,

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: my only complaint, and then we can move on. Do

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: we have to name everything these days? So you got

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: your flu, you got your RSV, you got your COVID,

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 4: and there's a fourth one. They're calling it a quademic

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 4: right now. They don't but they don't need to. You

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 4: don't need a clever name for everything.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: Who decided that every every hobby has to hot girl

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: summer or I'm a I'm a downsizer, I'm a.

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Just stop it, Just say what, say what you want

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: to say. You don't need to name it.

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sorry Tangent On Tangent, we really don't

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: have time. But my son sent me a great think

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 4: piece about how what you do is what you are.

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: Don't accept the label of what you are. Then do that,

57
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: you know, don't be a type, do what you think

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: is important, live your life, and then you know, if

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: it turns out your a certain sort of person, great.

60
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: But everybody is so anxious online to declare what sort

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: of person they are, and generally it has so do.

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: You think people hear a label and then like adjust

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: their lives to fit into that label, Yes, to get

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: along interest that course, it might be true that might

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: like happen to a lot of us. Were well, I'm

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm I'm kind of I think maybe I do that,

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: like I've got like a vision of the thing I

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: am or my brand in my head or other people's heads,

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: and then I got to fit into that which is

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: weird because I don't have to.

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: Nobody's making me. Yeah, yeah, I'm just I'm big on freedom.

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: But you know, I've just including freedom from your own

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: like dopey limitations on yourself because they don't have there's

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: no good reason for them, right. But we all work

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: on it every day. I mean, I'm not claiming it'd

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: be some sort of guru anyway. So this is important, friends,

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: important and interesting and in a way amusing. Perhaps you

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: heard last week that the AP and Jim Acosta, who

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: is just a dick weed. Sorry, I'm sorry that was rude,

80
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: trying to organize some sort of let it drop. I'm

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: just I'm an angry man. I've got them seething under

82
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: the surface. But they are trying to organize this absolutely

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 4: idiotic boycott of the Trump administration as journalists and or

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: some sort of organized resistance where if Trump does something

85
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: naughty or Elon Musk is something that makes us mad,

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: all of us will write editorials on our editorial page

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: condemning it at once, and we will join together as

88
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: a collectivist media controlled by one agenda that's got kind

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: of a bad reputation.

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: And then they could have their own headlines saying a

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: majority of media have decided to boycott the Trump administration

92
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: due to its lies or something like that, so they

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: could do something then report, but they're doing it like

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: like it's outside of their cho or something.

95
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: But the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowitch

96
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 4: was talking to Axios the other day and summed it

97
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 4: up in a great way. I think this isn't just

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 4: about the Gulf of.

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right.

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: AP refused to say the Gulf of America, and they

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: put out their style book bulletin which we'll explain the

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: second but saying no, it's the Gulf of Mexico, has

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: been for four hundred years. Keep calling it the Gulf

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: of Mexico. But it's not about that, said budh Witch.

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: Or is that quote. This is about AP weaponizing language

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: through their style book to push a partisan worldview in

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many

108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: Americans and many people around the world. Here's what they mean,

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 4: and if you're not in journalism, you might not know this.

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: The Associated Press, which has been around for a very

111
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: long time and used to be a rigorously non partisan,

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: serious journalism pit outfit, puts out their style book, which

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: is literally a big, thick book, and then lots and

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 4: lots of updates throughout the year, saying, hey, the Associated

115
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: Press refers to this in this way. And sometimes it's

116
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: like grammatical stuff. Do you hyphenate email like people did

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: in the early days.

118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Do you capitalize this or that?

119
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: Or do you write like Beijing or pee King to

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: refer to the capital of China. A lot of stuff

121
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: like that, which is fine. It was a handy because

122
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: I used to do some of that stuff, and it

123
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: was handy to just as.

124
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: A you know, objective source. How am I supposed to

125
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: do this?

126
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: But in recent years the AP has gone full on

127
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: woke activist Julie Pace is saying that what did she say,

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: she's the head of the AP, that this is a

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: challenged independent journalists. Well, contrary to missus Pace and what

130
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: she had to say, the White House is not objecting

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: to the AP independent journalism, but to the way it

132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: imposes its worldview on journalists, according from The Wall Street Journal,

133
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: As Julie Pace herself notes in her statement, AP reporting

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: reaches billions of people around the world, which she calls factual,

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: non partisan journalism, But the style book is incredibly influential.

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: Here's the problem. The AP style book, writes, the Wall

137
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: Street Journal is the wellspring of journalistic group think.

138
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Since it went online.

139
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: In twenty oh two, the flood of conformity has intensified

140
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: to creese and dogmas propagate far more rapidly than they

141
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: did when the style book was a spiral brown volume

142
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: with new editions every couple of years. One of the

143
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: most prominent examples looks deceptively like a question of pure style.

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: Few years ago, the AP began capitalizing black when used

145
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: as a racial designation.

146
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Not white, by the way, not white, just black.

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: This was a telling change, because, in contrast with the

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: Gulf of Mexico thing, the AP did not stick with

149
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: tradition the opposite, nor did it bow to a change

150
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: in common usage. It wasn't like they said, hey, most

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: Americans use a capital B now, so we ought to

152
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: reflect that. No, they bow to activist demands.

153
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So they're trying to push it out as

154
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: opposed to reflect on a change.

155
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Right.

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: So, with some exceptions, liberals, including most news organizations, fell

157
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: into line with the AP, while conservatives didn't. The Supreme Court,

158
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: for instance, has split with the three Democratic appointees and

159
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: Justice Core such for some reason, opting for capital black

160
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: the non partisan AP's attempt to position itself at the

161
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: vanguard of history and succeeded in stranding itself on one

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: side of America's ideological gulf. Moving on, there's a lot

163
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: more blah blah blah. This one guy reports that the

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 4: White House aids grievances against the AP extend to immigration.

165
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: The style book bans the term alien.

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: That's racist to talk about illegal aliens, the actual legal term.

167
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 4: If you are an AP newspaper or you know, there

168
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: are articles up here in newspapers all over the world.

169
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: They've banned the word alien. That's ridiculous.

170
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: They've banned the term illegal immigrant. That is absolutely ridiculous.

171
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: I had no idea of this. That's crazy.

172
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: This it's not about the freaking Gulf of America, which

173
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: is funny, and nobody cares.

174
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: You can't use the term illegal immigrant in a news story.

175
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: According to the AP.

176
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: That's correct. Yeah, it's rights all young journalists out there.

177
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: The christ are probably lefties anyway. But you're a young

178
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: journalist working in a newspaper, radio station, TV station, sometimes

179
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: small town wherever it is. You get the AP s

180
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 3: foul book because that's the way you do it. You

181
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: can't use the term illegal immigrant. That's nuts.

182
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: But wait, there's more chain migration for voting anchor babies.

183
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: Terrible racist term. Can't use it.

184
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: And when you're discussing political violence, I suspect on only

185
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: one side of the aisle. It discourages using riot and

186
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: terrorism is more the nine terms for the protests, the

187
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: mostly peaceful protests after George Floyd, for instance. But the

188
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: style Book, we're warming up now, everybody stretched out, everybody ready.

189
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: The style Book descends from bias into delusion with its

190
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: quote transgender coverage topical guide. This is a twenty nine

191
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: hundred word ideological manifesto.

192
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: The AP put out quote, do not use.

193
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: The term transgenderism, which frames transgender identity. Is an ideology,

194
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: and it's filled with bizarre assertions and jargon which reporters

195
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: are mandated to accept if they supersede the facts of life.

196
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 4: According to the guide, a child and this is why

197
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: you see this. I almost used a very bad word, folks.

198
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: I'm glad I didn't. According to the guide, a child

199
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: isn't born a boy or a girl quote rather sexist quote.

200
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 4: Usually it's assigned at birth by parents or attendants and

201
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 4: can turn out to be inaccurate.

202
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: Well, it's nice that whoever writes the AP style book

203
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: has nailed down the facts on that and told us

204
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: all that's interesting.

205
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't want to.

206
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: Rush through all this. We need to bring you a

207
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: quick word from our friends. It's simply safe. We'll take

208
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: a little break and then come back with the rest

209
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: of this. The AP is as bad as the Southern

210
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center or the you know, the the former

211
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: not NAACP.

212
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: What's the what's that? I used to be a AARP. No,

213
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: that's not it. I was a card carrying member of

214
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: the ACLU.

215
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: That's it.

216
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: Yes, they're awful, the AP. Anyway, word from our friends,

217
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: it's simply safe. Home security progressive policies has faultful also

218
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: brought us an explosion in crime. Isn't that special? It's

219
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: simply safe. Helps to stop threats before they even have

220
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: the chance to break in.

221
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got these AI powered cameras. It's part of

222
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: the Active Guard outdoor protection where live professioning monitoring agents

223
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: can monitor your property into tech suspicious activity and then

224
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: the actual human beings can talk to the scumbags before

225
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: they break into your house or call the cops or whatever,

226
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: before they get in your house, not.

227
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: After and dig this.

235
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: the critical theory stuff, critical race theory, radical gender theory,

236
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: radical queer theory.

237
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: All of that stuff.

238
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: The AP has hoovered up all of it and insists

239
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: that every journalist in America tow the radical neo Marxist line.

240
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: More examples in a minute. I am concerned. I have

241
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: the flu.

242
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: I got a question for those of you know something

243
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: about the flu. Also, we got to get to and

244
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of other stuff. News of the day, catch

245
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: up from the weekend. Macrone's visiting with Trump right now

246
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: to talk about Ukraine.

247
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: Stay with us, going.

248
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 5: To say, DEI you know what it means, as that's

249
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 5: heard somebody to say earlier today, they have substitute in

250
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: these acronyms for the N word.

251
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

252
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: Go?

253
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: That's James Clyburn, who got Joe Biden elected the president,

254
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 4: our first ever mummy President. Cliburn is saying, if you

255
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: use the term dei, that's a dei hier, I'm dei.

256
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: You're saying, I'm against N word, I'm against enners. It's

257
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: the same thing. Yeah, nice job, James. Way to just

258
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 4: make the country worse and more racist.

259
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Go away.

260
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: Anyway, we were talking about how the AP has incredible

261
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: influence over journalism with their AP Style Book and the

262
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: current fight with the Trump administration. They're trying to pretend

263
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: is about the Gulf of America, which is just silly,

264
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: but it's really about the AP Stylebook having hoovered up

265
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: all of critical theory, all of that radical theory that's

266
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: got men in women's locker rooms, and the idea that

267
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: there are seventy seven different genders and a boy who

268
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: dons a wig ought to be able to beat the

269
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: crap out of girls on sports fields. It's all just

270
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: so sick, but so according to the AP's style book,

271
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: it says, according to the child the guide, a child

272
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: isn't bored a boy or a girl. Rather, sex is

273
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: quote usually assigned at birth by parents or attendants, and

274
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 4: ken turn out to be inaccurate. Yeah, like one time

275
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: out of ten thousand. Examples of gender identities include non

276
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: binary by gender a gender, gender fluid, gender queer, and

277
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: combinations of identities such as non binary woman. Please read

278
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: pluck Rose and Lindsay's cynical theories. They explain what all

279
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: of this is and what it's doing anyway. They go

280
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 4: on to say, quote dead naming a transgender person that

281
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: is accurately reporting such a person's given name quote, even

282
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: posthumously in obituaries or other coverage, is often considered disrespectful

283
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: to the deceased, their survivors, and any transgender people. So

284
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: you're supposed to say, Caitlin Jenner won the men's to

285
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: Caathlon in nineteen seventy six. How idiotic is that? Now

286
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 4: all of this is cloaked in an appeal to authorities.

287
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: Quote experts from organizations including the American Medical Association, American

288
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: Psychiatric Association, an American Psychological Association, whatever that was, say,

289
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: gender is a spectrum Yeah, they're all captured by critical theorists,

290
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: by Marxists. Quote reporters are instructed to squelch any challenge

291
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: to the accepted authorities. Don't quote people speaking about biology

292
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: or athletic regulations unless they have the proper background. That's

293
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: why Katanji Brown Jackson made the hilariously idiotic assertion that

294
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: she couldn't define a woman on the grounds that I'm

295
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: not a biologist.

296
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: Right, and again, I've got the polling from the New

297
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: York Times on the trans athlete Trump thing coming up.

298
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Right, and as they we got two minutes. Okay, good.

299
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: These editorial dictats have real world effects. Sports teams, locker rooms,

300
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: public restrooms, and prisons are segregated by sex, obviously to

301
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: protect women. When many women object when a transgender woman,

302
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: a man who conceives of himself as a female or

303
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: claims it intrude into these areas, good luck if you

304
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: want fair treatment of the question from your local newspaper

305
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: TV station, which is almost certainly an AP member. Sure,

306
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: and the AP's policy is that those men are women.

307
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: Because they said so, trans women are women. Hot dogs

308
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,359
Speaker 4: are dogs anyway, The Trump administration said there are two sexes.

309
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Male and female not changeable.

310
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah, And as James Toronto writes in the

311
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal quote, this has been the case at

312
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 4: least since sexual dimorphism emerged in trilobites some five hundred

313
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 4: and forty million years ago. If the AP is willing

314
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: to deny the primordial truth about sex on the say

315
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: so of some authority figure, the Gulf of Mexico is

316
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 4: a strange hill for it to die on.

317
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: But I hope it.

318
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: Does, or at least I hope both sides stand their

319
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: ground after the AP loses in court, and the result

320
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: is a diminuation of its influence on American journalism.

321
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Amen, Hey, law.

322
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: So as I have the symptoms, is it too late

323
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: to take a flu shot? Can you take a flu shot?

324
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: Once you've got the floors that?

325
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Do you know? Good? Yes you can take one, and

326
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: yes it does you no good.

327
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah right, nobody's gonna stop me from getting one, but

328
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: it would do me no good with my current situation.

329
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 4: Now, your antibodies are already on alert and rushing to

330
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: their battle stations.

331
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get to that, uh polling in a

332
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: bunch of other stories we got to catch up on

333
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: coming up, stay here.

334
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: Armstrong and getty.

335
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: I think we should all do what Elon asks. Let's

336
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: all make a list of five things we did last

337
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: week that could justify our jobs. I watched a lot

338
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: of news. I did some things I planned to talk about.

339
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: It's about I have a unique job. That's it's unfair

340
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 3: for our job.

341
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: That's out.

342
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: Pyle is looking pretty tempting for your little memo, son,

343
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 4: I say.

344
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: No, he's through. He's fired.

345
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: I personally know people and work in the federal government

346
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: who have made their lists that if you haven't heard

347
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: this news story, Elon put that out to all federal employees.

348
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: You got to you gotta write him an email, send

349
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: it to him, the five things you did last week

350
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: that show that you're your job is necessary. And then

351
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, good lord, how many millions of emails

352
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: would he get. Who's gonna go through all those? I

353
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: don't know how they would determine, if any but he's

354
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 3: being honest or not?

355
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 4: Right right, let's see you know the list four mundane

356
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: things in five. I'm in charge of considering the annexation

357
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: of Greenland.

358
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you could. You could.

359
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: I met with the King of Arabia and I flew

360
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: in a rocket to Mars. I think I think you

361
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 3: can send the email. I don't think anybody's ever going

362
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: to read it. I just can't imagine they're gonna get

363
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 3: down to it.

364
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: But personally stamped out all the mice and grain silos

365
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: in Nebraska, right, I'm.

366
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: Not anti doing this.

367
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: I would love to be able to justify all these

368
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: government jobs and whether or not they or needed.

369
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: But I just I just don't know if this is workable. Well,

370
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: no it's not.

371
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean, in principle it's wonderful, but it's just it's

372
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 4: silly because even the departments had hads Trump appointed or

373
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 4: saying no, don't do that, or like RFK Junior said yeah,

374
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: go ahead and do it that. Then he put it

375
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 4: out a memo saying let's hold off to like noon Monday,

376
00:19:59,480 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 4: so we.

377
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Get the a look at this. It's just silly.

378
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: It's Elon trolling, and I wish he would and this

379
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: is just me.

380
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: Maybe if he lost his trolling, we'd lose Elon.

381
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: But I would like him to be sober and serious

382
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 4: like he is about getting rocket ships up into the

383
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: air to make criticism more difficult. I wish he was

384
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: more buttoned up about this because I wanted to succeed.

385
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 3: Well, you're now famous quote of uh oh, you can't

386
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: order human beings without onions. Is the Elon thing. I mean, oh,

387
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: we got to get to his baby mama and that

388
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: whole thing.

389
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 4: Wow, My life, though, is testament to the fact that

390
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: you can get people to be stupid less often.

391
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 5: So.

392
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 3: The most recent kid that we became aware of kid

393
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 3: number thirteen, the twenty four year old Hotty that he

394
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: had the baby with. Some emails or texts surfaced over

395
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: the weekend where she's texting other somebody else, a friend

396
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: of hers, about how she was she's somehow, she was

397
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: working somewhere where she had access to Elon.

398
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: She's hot.

399
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: She she texted this friend about how she was gonna

400
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: seduce Elon and trap him and have a baby with him,

401
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: and that was her plan. And not surprising that happens

402
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: with NBA stars and you know, movie stars and all

403
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: kinds of rich people. I mean, that story's over over.

404
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: What I didn't like is it was portrayed most places.

405
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 3: I saught of ha ha ha to Elon like he's

406
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: the ridiculous figure here and not the sort of freaking

407
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: woman who goes out and gets pregnant on purpose for cash. Yeah,

408
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: you pretended to be in love with a guy or

409
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: like him and he had sex with you.

410
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't make him the bad guy.

411
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: Manhattan and Washington, DC are full of those couples, for instance.

412
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: But you pretend to like somebody and they fall for it,

413
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: they're not. They didn't do something wrong. You're a creepo

414
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: and a like low life with no conscience for doing that.

415
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: Don't portray it the other way around. That's weird, right, Yeah,

416
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: congratulations rock stars, congratulations on seducing a guy just for money.

417
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Yay for you, Yahoe. I mean, what is that? Wow?

418
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: That's harsh. If that's what she did, that's pretty accurate,

419
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah?

420
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: I just I can't get too up in arms about

421
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: it because Elon obviously has no problem with that sort

422
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: of thing. No, I'm not, And again I'm not making

423
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: it about Elon. I'm making it about the portrayal of

424
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: if you got If you got a guy who fall

425
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: who believes you when you come on to him, and

426
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: then she acts like she likes you, that's not a

427
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: deficit in him, right, It's like it's like our thing

428
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: we always say, like, if you know, if somebody breaks

429
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: into your car, you left it unlocked. I mean you

430
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: should have locked it. But the scumbag is the criminal

431
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: who broke into your car, right. I don't go around

432
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: trying door handles.

433
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: To you, right AnyWho?

434
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: Uh oh, we got to get this joke on. We

435
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: got a joke from Greg Guttfeld that I know some

436
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: of our audience will like.

437
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: And that's not it's not my sort of joke. But

438
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: here you go. Oh boy.

439
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: Divorce rumors continue to escalate for the Obamas.

440
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: Hopefully they can settle it like men.

441
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. I know some of you like that.

442
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: Based on the texts we get. She's big bone, she's

443
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: a woman. I understand why that persists in some quarters.

444
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: We probably ought to get some of the audio that

445
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: exists of Trump arguing with some governors over the weekend

446
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: about uh, men and women's sports, that whole issue.

447
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: And it became quite a thing.

448
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: And there are still some governors of your blue states

449
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: who are willing to, if not die on that hill,

450
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: fight on that hill for you know, a high school

451
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: boy breaking the state track record and winning the gold

452
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: medal or whatever.

453
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't get why you're so into this issue.

454
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: But the New York Times reading how Maine has decided

455
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: this is the civil rights issue of our time.

456
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: Boys being able to beat the crap out of girls

457
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: on the sports. Yeah, that's who Trump got into it

458
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: with over the weekend, the governor of Maine.

459
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: They had a back and forth over this.

460
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: Here's the national polling from the New York Times on this. Overall,

461
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 3: the question being at the top, transgender athletes should not

462
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: be allowed to compete in women's sports just as a

463
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: blanket statement. It doesn't even say for high school sports.

464
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: I gotta believe the number goes up for that probably,

465
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: but overall seventy nine percent call it eighty. Since it's

466
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: within the plus or minus eighty percent of Americans think

467
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete women's sports.

468
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: It's an eighty twenty issue. I mean, it's not even

469
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: flipping close.

470
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: And I would guess the twenty that's left is includes

471
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: at least a small measure of don't knows, And so

472
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: the support for this is in the teens. Yeah, and

473
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: it's self evidently perverse and everybody knows it. What's disturbing

474
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: to me is the incredible influence of a tiny minority

475
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 4: of lunatics.

476
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: Right. If you break it down by party, of course,

477
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: for Republicans it's ninety four percent, but even for Democrats

478
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 3: it's two thirds, two thirds, and independence two thirds of

479
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: Democrats say.

480
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: Two thirds of Democrats say no, hold on, no, oh no,

481
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: it might be bird flu. Did you hear that?

482
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: Probably we've got a quindemic going on?

483
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I might have all four? Could that happen?

484
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: Where I have RSV, bird flu, cod covid.

485
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: The flu gunnrhea? Is that the other one? The fifth?

486
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't hope I don't have all of them at

487
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: the same time.

488
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: But if two thirds of Democrats say dudes shouldn't be

489
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: competing in women's sports, how is this even a controversy?

490
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: We're so misled by the Hollywood in the mainstream media.

491
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: Who is their outsized influence of making people think, well,

492
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's not the sort of thing I should

493
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: stay out loud. It's an It's a sixty point win.

494
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: For your side. It's not even close. You could you should?

495
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: You don't call an eighty twenty issue controversial issue. It's

496
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: so no yes, and and yet you know it's funny

497
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: just as in the side. I heard a really interesting

498
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: podcast with a libertarian type author who's talking about the

499
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 3: kind of the dumb side of tribalism and how it

500
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: makes you do and say things that you probably shouldn't

501
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: be proud of when you know, we're all countrymen and

502
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 3: we ought to be cooperating and let you know, forming coalitions.

503
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Got fell in a joke about what'll settles like men.

504
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 4: An excellent for instance, anyway, and I thought, you know,

505
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: as far as you know what he said, he's right.

506
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 5: Well.

507
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: Part of his message was we're not meant to be

508
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: political all the time. It's okay to just have relationships

509
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: in that sort, and I agree completely with that. On

510
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: the other hand, we have allowed ourselves to get into

511
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: a situation we're duped, honestly, where virtually the entire public

512
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 4: government educational complex is preaching a radical ideology that's believed

513
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 4: by a.

514
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: Teen's percentage of Americans.

515
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: And so, oh my lord, this train has gone way

516
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 4: way down the track. And so I don't think the

517
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 4: option of being well, it's unfortunate, but we can work

518
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 4: on it together. I don't think we're at that point.

519
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: We let it get way, way, way too farther. I

520
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: give the neo Marxist credit as a political scientist for

521
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 4: being as incredibly effective as they've been. They did it

522
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: under the cloak of darkness of misleading everybody about what

523
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: they're actually doing.

524
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: So we've gotten a couple of texts from people who

525
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: are in government who got the email from Elon about

526
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 3: how you got to come up with five things to

527
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: justify your job. Nobody is going to read them, says

528
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: this texter. They're just fishing to see who doesn't reply,

529
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 3: because Elon did include if you don't want to do this,

530
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: I we'll take that as a resignation, and which is fine.

531
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: Maybe you get several thousand people across the country or

532
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people to do that.

533
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

534
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 4: Somebody has to make their list Number one, snappy dresser,

535
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: number two, taller than average, Number three.

536
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: I make a mean onion dip number four.

537
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: You know, I've got most of the plots of Seinfelds memorized.

538
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: Or I just make the workplace a funnier place to

539
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: be right, with my jokes and witticisms.

540
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: Humor makes the workplace more productive, and I'm very very amusing.

541
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting idea.

542
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: You asked the question earlier, and I can't wait till books,

543
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: until books are written about this.

544
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Did Trump have any idea Elon was doing that? Or

545
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: did Elon fire that off?

546
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: Judging by the reaction from a number of Trump appointees,

547
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 4: I would say no, he didn't know, because a lot

548
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: of the prominent names you've heard just got approved by

549
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: the Senate and all are like, what, wait, No, no,

550
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: our people don't have to do that.

551
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: What so like cash Btel specifically said of the FBI, no,

552
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: do don't respond to that.

553
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: You don't have to.

554
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I believe a Secretary of Treasury said

555
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: the same. But the the Department of Transportation, guy whose

556
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: name I don't have memorized yet, he was out today.

557
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: He said, I told all employees they need to do that,

558
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: and here are my five things I did last week.

559
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: So he's on board.

560
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: Here's the Cabinet secretary. You don't have to fill out

561
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: the list he did. This is all very silly. Oh,

562
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 4: speaking of which, you know, pretty big headline. Cash Bateel

563
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 4: had told Republican senators in private, my deputy head of

564
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: the FBI, whatever the title is, will be a career

565
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: officer who knows how the FBI works, and because that's

566
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: been the tradition the entire time the fbis existed. Well,

567
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, probably because Trump pushed him on it,

568
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: he appointed Dan Bongino as his second in command instead

569
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: former Secret Service agent Hard Ass and big time radio

570
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: host slash podcaster Dan Bongino. So there are a number

571
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: of Republican senators who are leaking. We were told this

572
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 4: would not happen, so that you know, there could be

573
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: a little attention there. We'll say one more thing from

574
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: the Q crowd, which I'm in touch with. The Q

575
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 4: and on crowd are where whatever your news sources are

576
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: in the Q and on crowd. Apparently the belief is

577
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: that step number one for Cash Mattel, now that he

578
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: has been sworn in as a director of the FBI,

579
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: is going after Hillary Clinton, the whole pedophile ring. And

580
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: so that whole thing is going to be unearthed very quickly. No,

581
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: he isn't to know. It won't here on earth. We're

582
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: worried about Hillary bilking the world for the Foundation and

583
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 4: just good old fashioned thievery.

584
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we got more of the ways to hear Armstrong, Heyetty,

585
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: when I'm told we have a celebrity death related to

586
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: this song. I don't know who sad is.

587
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: Dion Warwick, ROBERTA Flack, ROBERTA Flack as a Flack, so

588
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: sorry to hear that.

589
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: She's very very old. One side?

590
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: Do we do minor celebrity deaths some.

591
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Major celebrity If you're ROBERTA Flack fan, what are we doing? Yes, Katie,

592
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: no minor celebrities.

593
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: She had multiple top Billboard hits and she died eighty eight.

594
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: What's her biggest hit? She Killing Me Softly? Yep, killing

595
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: me softly.

596
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: Also, I'm a big jazz fan and I was watching

597
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: a video the other day with these uh instructors I

598
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: really like Top ten jazz albums of all time, and

599
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: they had a ROBERTA Flack album on there that I'd

600
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: never heard of before.

601
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: And as I was saying, the nation is reeling from

602
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: the loss of the great ROBERTA Fly and it's right,

603
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: and we take a moment to reflect in.

604
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: Her life, she's dead as a hammer. Okay. Interesting, Wow,

605
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: great jazz singer. Huh. I guess did not know that.

606
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, My cynicism has been kicked right

607
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: where it deserved.

608
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: To be and has doubled over now and rethinking its ways.

609
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: Oh speaking speaking of careers and being in the public eye,

610
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 4: and that a quick indulge me a quick tip of

611
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 4: the cap to my friend Brian Campbell, who won a

612
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 4: PGA Tour event Professional Golf Association Tour event yesterday. He

613
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: is an incredible story and an example young phenom, great

614
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 4: college player, got his tour card, which meant he got

615
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 4: to play on the PGA Tour, lost it almost immediately.

616
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: He just didn't play well enough to stick around, and

617
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: for seven years or so he has been grinding to

618
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: get back on the PGA Tour. He finally did. We

619
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: had a big party and then but this season has

620
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 4: been very rocky. He like, if you know how golf works,

621
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 4: if you don't play well enough on Thursday and Friday,

622
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: you get cut. You don't play on the weekend. And

623
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: his first eight tournaments this year or something, I cut cut, cut,

624
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: cut fifty first, sixty second cut than he won for

625
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: the first time in his entire career. Great guy has

626
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 4: worked like a maniac. I mean beyond when people were

627
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: telling him, yeah, I'm not sure it's going to work out,

628
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: but it was great to see I yelled louder than

629
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 4: I have for any sports event in twenty years. In

630
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: my living room yesterday I couldn't sit down for the

631
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: last hour and a half.

632
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: Perfect that you brought up golf because I've been meaning

633
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: to ask this question. I came across this headline in

634
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal yesterday. I don't play golf, but

635
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: the weird new putting technique that's driving the golf world nuts.

636
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: What is it?

637
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine you hold the club in your mouth?

638
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: Or is it worse than that?

639
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 4: It's worse than that jacket involves a good deal of vaseline.

640
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, we all think it.

641
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: It No, I hinted at something and then you like

642
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 3: drew the picture for some reason, like we're children, couldn't

643
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: get my hint.

644
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: It's thinter the mind exactly.

645
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, Michael, thank you for I can't decide which side

646
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: he's on. Uh No, it's called it's something called aim point.

647
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: If you ever watch golf, the guys, instead of like

648
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 4: just using their eyes to figure out which way a

649
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: pot is going to break, which means curve, they like

650
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: use their feet to try to assess the slope, and

651
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: then they assess what degree of slope. Then they hold

652
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: two fingers up next to the cup to pick their

653
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 4: It's time consuming.

654
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not as controversial if they were suitcasing the

655
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: butter and making that.

656
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: Wow, the pot calls the kettle black. Right now, it's

657
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 4: dopey within golf and it's fine.

658
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: The the thing you know, with the golf friend you

659
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 3: just mentioned, I was telling my kids about this over

660
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 3: the weekend because I'm trying to motivate them to try

661
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: harder at various things.

662
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: It seems to be it seemed to be having.

663
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: Trouble with that, but that probably got my genetics is

664
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: the problem. But one thing I've learned from YouTube that

665
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: it has helped give a glimpse into the world of athletes, musicians, writers,

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: all kinds artists, all kinds of different people of how

667
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 3: much effort they put into being successful. They weren't just

668
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: born talented, well, they weren't born talented, But then the

669
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 3: amount of work that you have to put in. Most

670
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: of us, even given the talent by God to be

671
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 3: that artist, musician, you, golfer, whatever, wouldn't put in the

672
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: time that it takes to ever utilize it.

673
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: Two quick bits of wisdom.

674
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 4: Number one, the thing that takes more effort than anything

675
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: else is to appear effortless. Takes a tremendous amount of effort. Secondly,

676
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 4: one of the great pianists, I can't remember which one, Rubinstein,

677
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: one of those guys. Somebody once said to him, I

678
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 4: would give my life to play piano, give my life

679
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 4: to play the piano like you do.

680
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: And he said I did, right.

681
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: And most of us, like even given the talent, wouldn't

682
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 3: do that. And I think that's helpful to know how

683
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: much effort you've got to put in to be successful.

684
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully, Man, it takes a while to pan out.

685
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong
