I google them and and 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.720 it says unmentionable symptoms. Is anybody else's mind going wild 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.840 right now?

He and 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.720 his wife laid low low for week ten days. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.000 Now I got too much to do. My son had 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.560 My son had a sore throat last night. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.160 Not good. 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:47.680 So he had a sore throat. Now I've got a 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.160 sore throat. And I told him he can't be sick. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:49.400 Dude. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.000 We got school, got a bunch of things going on 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.880 in school, volleyball games, practice. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.400 Can't be sick. But we'll see. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.440 Well, talk to the microbes, not your son. They're in charge. Ah, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.600 my only complaint, and then we can move on. Do 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.000 we have to name everything these days? So you got 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.120 your flu, you got your RSV, you got your COVID, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.520 and there's a fourth one. They're calling it a quademic 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.920 right now. They don't but they don't need to. You 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.519 don't need a clever name for everything. 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.200 That's a good point. 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:25.640 Who decided that every every hobby has to hot girl 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.160 summer or I'm a I'm a downsizer, I'm a. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.440 Just stop it, Just say what, say what you want 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.799 to say. You don't need to name it. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.600 You know, I'm sorry Tangent On Tangent, we really don't 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.560 have time. But my son sent me a great think 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:46.839 piece about how what you do is what you are. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.520 Don't accept the label of what you are. Then do that, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.639 you know, don't be a type, do what you think 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.760 is important, live your life, and then you know, if 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.600 it turns out your a certain sort of person, great. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.000 But everybody is so anxious online to declare what sort 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.520 of person they are, and generally it has so do. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.520 You think people hear a label and then like adjust 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.560 their lives to fit into that label, Yes, to get 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.120 along interest that course, it might be true that might 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.040 like happen to a lot of us. Were well, I'm 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.720 I'm I'm kind of I think maybe I do that, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.040 like I've got like a vision of the thing I 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.800 am or my brand in my head or other people's heads, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.760 and then I got to fit into that which is 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.200 weird because I don't have to. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:38.040 Nobody's making me. Yeah, yeah, I'm just I'm big on freedom. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.000 But you know, I've just including freedom from your own 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.480 like dopey limitations on yourself because they don't have there's 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.920 no good reason for them, right. But we all work 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.040 on it every day. I mean, I'm not claiming it'd 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.240 be some sort of guru anyway. So this is important, friends, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.720 important and interesting and in a way amusing. Perhaps you 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.240 heard last week that the AP and Jim Acosta, who 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.400 is just a dick weed. Sorry, I'm sorry that was rude, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.920 trying to organize some sort of let it drop. I'm 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.320 just I'm an angry man. I've got them seething under 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.080 the surface. But they are trying to organize this absolutely 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:26.600 idiotic boycott of the Trump administration as journalists and or 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.360 some sort of organized resistance where if Trump does something 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.440 naughty or Elon Musk is something that makes us mad, 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.760 all of us will write editorials on our editorial page 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.760 condemning it at once, and we will join together as 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.920 a collectivist media controlled by one agenda that's got kind 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:45.960 of a bad reputation. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.279 And then they could have their own headlines saying a 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.760 majority of media have decided to boycott the Trump administration 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.160 due to its lies or something like that, so they 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.560 could do something then report, but they're doing it like 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.760 like it's outside of their cho or something. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.760 But the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowitch 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.840 was talking to Axios the other day and summed it 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.159 up in a great way. I think this isn't just 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:11.040 about the Gulf of. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:11.640 Oh, that's right. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.160 AP refused to say the Gulf of America, and they 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.680 put out their style book bulletin which we'll explain the 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.960 second but saying no, it's the Gulf of Mexico, has 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.400 been for four hundred years. Keep calling it the Gulf 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:29.520 of Mexico. But it's not about that, said budh Witch. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.640 Or is that quote. This is about AP weaponizing language 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.800 through their style book to push a partisan worldview in 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.520 contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.120 Americans and many people around the world. Here's what they mean, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:48.280 and if you're not in journalism, you might not know this. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.240 The Associated Press, which has been around for a very 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:56.120 long time and used to be a rigorously non partisan, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.720 serious journalism pit outfit, puts out their style book, which 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.599 is literally a big, thick book, and then lots and 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.040 lots of updates throughout the year, saying, hey, the Associated 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.560 Press refers to this in this way. And sometimes it's 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.839 like grammatical stuff. Do you hyphenate email like people did 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.440 in the early days. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.080 Do you capitalize this or that? 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:26.200 Or do you write like Beijing or pee King to 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.600 refer to the capital of China. A lot of stuff 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.200 like that, which is fine. It was a handy because 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.680 I used to do some of that stuff, and it 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.400 was handy to just as. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.680 A you know, objective source. How am I supposed to 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:37.920 do this? 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.359 But in recent years the AP has gone full on 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.920 woke activist Julie Pace is saying that what did she say, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.360 she's the head of the AP, that this is a 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:56.000 challenged independent journalists. Well, contrary to missus Pace and what 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.320 she had to say, the White House is not objecting 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.640 to the AP independent journalism, but to the way it 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:07.400 imposes its worldview on journalists, according from The Wall Street Journal, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.920 As Julie Pace herself notes in her statement, AP reporting 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.040 reaches billions of people around the world, which she calls factual, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.920 non partisan journalism, But the style book is incredibly influential. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.880 Here's the problem. The AP style book, writes, the Wall 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.480 Street Journal is the wellspring of journalistic group think. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.400 Since it went online. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.080 In twenty oh two, the flood of conformity has intensified 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.640 to creese and dogmas propagate far more rapidly than they 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.120 did when the style book was a spiral brown volume 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.000 with new editions every couple of years. One of the 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.760 most prominent examples looks deceptively like a question of pure style. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.720 Few years ago, the AP began capitalizing black when used 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.080 as a racial designation. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.080 Not white, by the way, not white, just black. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.200 This was a telling change, because, in contrast with the 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.440 Gulf of Mexico thing, the AP did not stick with 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.640 tradition the opposite, nor did it bow to a change 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.080 in common usage. It wasn't like they said, hey, most 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.480 Americans use a capital B now, so we ought to 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.840 reflect that. No, they bow to activist demands. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.200 Yeah, right, So they're trying to push it out as 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.520 opposed to reflect on a change. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:18.880 Right. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:25.000 So, with some exceptions, liberals, including most news organizations, fell 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.239 into line with the AP, while conservatives didn't. The Supreme Court, 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.800 for instance, has split with the three Democratic appointees and 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.560 Justice Core such for some reason, opting for capital black 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.400 the non partisan AP's attempt to position itself at the 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.480 vanguard of history and succeeded in stranding itself on one 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.480 side of America's ideological gulf. Moving on, there's a lot 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.840 more blah blah blah. This one guy reports that the 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.719 White House aids grievances against the AP extend to immigration. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.040 The style book bans the term alien. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.440 That's racist to talk about illegal aliens, the actual legal term. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.680 If you are an AP newspaper or you know, there 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.680 are articles up here in newspapers all over the world. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.280 They've banned the word alien. That's ridiculous. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.880 They've banned the term illegal immigrant. That is absolutely ridiculous. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.079 I had no idea of this. That's crazy. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.840 This it's not about the freaking Gulf of America, which 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.120 is funny, and nobody cares. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.240 You can't use the term illegal immigrant in a news story. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:30.839 According to the AP. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.280 That's correct. Yeah, it's rights all young journalists out there. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.360 The christ are probably lefties anyway. But you're a young 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.760 journalist working in a newspaper, radio station, TV station, sometimes 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.559 small town wherever it is. You get the AP s 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.559 foul book because that's the way you do it. You 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.400 can't use the term illegal immigrant. That's nuts. 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:53.400 But wait, there's more chain migration for voting anchor babies. 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.760 Terrible racist term. Can't use it. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.760 And when you're discussing political violence, I suspect on only 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.520 one side of the aisle. It discourages using riot and 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.760 terrorism is more the nine terms for the protests, the 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:13.520 mostly peaceful protests after George Floyd, for instance. But the 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.240 style Book, we're warming up now, everybody stretched out, everybody ready. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.640 The style Book descends from bias into delusion with its 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.920 quote transgender coverage topical guide. This is a twenty nine 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.520 hundred word ideological manifesto. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.800 The AP put out quote, do not use. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:37.439 The term transgenderism, which frames transgender identity. Is an ideology, 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.880 and it's filled with bizarre assertions and jargon which reporters 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.880 are mandated to accept if they supersede the facts of life. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.840 According to the guide, a child and this is why 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:52.000 you see this. I almost used a very bad word, folks. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.360 I'm glad I didn't. According to the guide, a child 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:01.120 isn't born a boy or a girl quote rather sexist quote. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.920 Usually it's assigned at birth by parents or attendants and 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.840 can turn out to be inaccurate. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.760 Well, it's nice that whoever writes the AP style book 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.400 has nailed down the facts on that and told us 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:14.840 all that's interesting. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:15.960 You know what, I don't want to. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.839 Rush through all this. We need to bring you a 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.800 quick word from our friends. It's simply safe. We'll take 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.480 a little break and then come back with the rest 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.120 of this. The AP is as bad as the Southern 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:29.960 Poverty Law Center or the you know, the the former 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.000 not NAACP. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.880 What's the what's that? I used to be a AARP. No, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.320 that's not it. I was a card carrying member of 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:38.280 the ACLU. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:39.240 That's it. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:44.160 Yes, they're awful, the AP.

I am concerned. I have 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:03.560 the flu. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.199 I got a question for those of you know something 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.520 about the flu.

Cliburn is saying, if you 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.760 use the term dei, that's a dei hier, I'm dei. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.800 You're saying, I'm against N word, I'm against enners. It's 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.280 the same thing. Yeah, nice job, James. Way to just 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.440 make the country worse and more racist. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:56.360 Go away. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.560 Anyway, we were talking about how the AP has incredible 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.520 influence over journalism with their AP Style Book and the 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.040 current fight with the Trump administration. They're trying to pretend 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.640 is about the Gulf of America, which is just silly, 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.480 but it's really about the AP Stylebook having hoovered up 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.680 all of critical theory, all of that radical theory that's 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.560 got men in women's locker rooms, and the idea that 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.320 there are seventy seven different genders and a boy who 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.200 dons a wig ought to be able to beat the 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.320 crap out of girls on sports fields. It's all just 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.840 so sick, but so according to the AP's style book, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.240 it says, according to the child the guide, a child 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.800 isn't bored a boy or a girl. Rather, sex is 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.520 quote usually assigned at birth by parents or attendants, and 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.800 ken turn out to be inaccurate. Yeah, like one time 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.880 out of ten thousand. Examples of gender identities include non 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.360 binary by gender a gender, gender fluid, gender queer, and 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:59.440 combinations of identities such as non binary woman. Please read 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:04.120 pluck Rose and Lindsay's cynical theories. They explain what all 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.600 of this is and what it's doing anyway. They go 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.480 on to say, quote dead naming a transgender person that 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.280 is accurately reporting such a person's given name quote, even 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.840 posthumously in obituaries or other coverage, is often considered disrespectful 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.080 to the deceased, their survivors, and any transgender people. So 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.000 you're supposed to say, Caitlin Jenner won the men's to 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:32.720 Caathlon in nineteen seventy six. How idiotic is that? Now 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.280 all of this is cloaked in an appeal to authorities. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.640 Quote experts from organizations including the American Medical Association, American 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:45.400 Psychiatric Association, an American Psychological Association, whatever that was, say, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.280 gender is a spectrum Yeah, they're all captured by critical theorists, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:52.200 by Marxists. Quote reporters are instructed to squelch any challenge 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.440 to the accepted authorities. Don't quote people speaking about biology 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.520 or athletic regulations unless they have the proper background. That's 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:05.600 why Katanji Brown Jackson made the hilariously idiotic assertion that 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.000 she couldn't define a woman on the grounds that I'm 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.000 not a biologist. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.120 Right, and again, I've got the polling from the New 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.480 York Times on the trans athlete Trump thing coming up. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.240 Right, and as they we got two minutes. Okay, good. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.400 These editorial dictats have real world effects. Sports teams, locker rooms, 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.200 public restrooms, and prisons are segregated by sex, obviously to 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.520 protect women. When many women object when a transgender woman, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.800 a man who conceives of himself as a female or 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.080 claims it intrude into these areas, good luck if you 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.120 want fair treatment of the question from your local newspaper 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.640 TV station, which is almost certainly an AP member. Sure, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.040 and the AP's policy is that those men are women. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.000 Because they said so, trans women are women. Hot dogs 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:59.359 are dogs anyway, The Trump administration said there are two sexes. 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.760 Male and female not changeable. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.840 Blah blah blah, And as James Toronto writes in the 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.320 Wall Street Journal quote, this has been the case at 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:12.000 least since sexual dimorphism emerged in trilobites some five hundred 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.399 and forty million years ago. If the AP is willing 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.359 to deny the primordial truth about sex on the say 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.000 so of some authority figure, the Gulf of Mexico is 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:23.679 a strange hill for it to die on. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:24.760 But I hope it. 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:26.639 Does, or at least I hope both sides stand their 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.320 ground after the AP loses in court, and the result 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.320 is a diminuation of its influence on American journalism. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.000 Amen, Hey, law. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.840 So as I have the symptoms, is it too late 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.920 to take a flu shot? Can you take a flu shot? 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.000 Once you've got the floors that? 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.720 Do you know? Good? Yes you can take one, and 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:46.880 yes it does you no good. 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.720 Yeah right, nobody's gonna stop me from getting one, but 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.280 it would do me no good with my current situation. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.199 Now, your antibodies are already on alert and rushing to 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:58.080 their battle stations. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.800 All right, we'll get to that, uh polling in a 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.359 bunch of other stories we got to catch up on 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.840 coming up, stay here. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:07.560 Armstrong and getty. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.480 I think we should all do what Elon asks. Let's 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.960 all make a list of five things we did last 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:20.000 week that could justify our jobs. I watched a lot 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.439 of news. I did some things I planned to talk about. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.760 It's about I have a unique job. That's it's unfair 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:29.440 for our job. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:30.560 That's out. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.000 Pyle is looking pretty tempting for your little memo, son, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:36.080 I say. 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:37.440 No, he's through. He's fired. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.119 I personally know people and work in the federal government 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.800 who have made their lists that if you haven't heard 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.000 this news story, Elon put that out to all federal employees. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.240 You got to you gotta write him an email, send 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.840 it to him, the five things you did last week 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.800 that show that you're your job is necessary. And then 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.680 I don't know, good lord, how many millions of emails 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.240 would he get. Who's gonna go through all those? I 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.320 don't know how they would determine, if any but he's 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:01.239 being honest or not? 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.400 Right right, let's see you know the list four mundane 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.760 things in five. I'm in charge of considering the annexation 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:11.400 of Greenland. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.120 I feel like you could. You could. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.800 I met with the King of Arabia and I flew 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.040 in a rocket to Mars. I think I think you 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.239 can send the email. I don't think anybody's ever going 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.080 to read it. I just can't imagine they're gonna get 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:26.479 down to it. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.040 But personally stamped out all the mice and grain silos 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.240 in Nebraska, right, I'm. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.199 Not anti doing this. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.440 I would love to be able to justify all these 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.520 government jobs and whether or not they or needed. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.879 But I just I just don't know if this is workable. Well, 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.480 no it's not. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.640 I mean, in principle it's wonderful, but it's just it's 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.399 silly because even the departments had hads Trump appointed or 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:55.120 saying no, don't do that, or like RFK Junior said yeah, 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:56.800 go ahead and do it that. Then he put it 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.399 out a memo saying let's hold off to like noon Monday, 0:19:59.480 --> 0:19:59.679 so we. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.840 Get the a look at this. It's just silly. 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.800 It's Elon trolling, and I wish he would and this 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:06.320 is just me. 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.960 Maybe if he lost his trolling, we'd lose Elon. 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:16.240 But I would like him to be sober and serious 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.520 like he is about getting rocket ships up into the 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.600 air to make criticism more difficult. I wish he was 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.600 more buttoned up about this because I wanted to succeed. 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:31.719 Well, you're now famous quote of uh oh, you can't 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:39.000 order human beings without onions. Is the Elon thing. I mean, oh, 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.199 we got to get to his baby mama and that 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:41.800 whole thing. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.119 Wow, My life, though, is testament to the fact that 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.359 you can get people to be stupid less often. 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:52.760 So. 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.640 The most recent kid that we became aware of kid 0:20:55.720 --> 0:21:00.119 number thirteen, the twenty four year old Hotty that he 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.879 had the baby with.
