00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Hey there, it's a good Friday. What does that mean?

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: It means a lot, even if you're not.

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: What you would call is yourself a Christian?

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: If even if you don't like identify as a Christian,

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: it means a lot because it has been the dominant

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: influencer of Western culture for two thousand years. And we

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: can talk about that coming up a little bit later.

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: I learned this from Tom Holland in his book Dominion,

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: but super super interesting, So I hope he can stick

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: around even if you're not religious.

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: For me, it was a real slapping my forehead and saying,

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how have I not recognize this moment

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: in hearing some of this just terrific. I hope you

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: can stay tuned.

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: But first, before we move forward, we must look back

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: fondly at the week that was. It's cowl clips of

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: the week.

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Yes, where we are?

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Who's there?

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: No king?

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Do it? Is there any decision in particular you disagree with?

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: Yes?

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Well?

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: Okay, so I would start with, I've given our boys dolls.

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: We're recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: gender roles and ultimately be human.

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Here, Sean, you know, forgive me. This is embarrassing.

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America.

33
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: The blood warning from Iran. Any American troops invading would

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: be set on fire.

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: where they belong.

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down.

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: You can ask Kamanian about that. Go through the strait

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: and just take it, protect it. This is not aw war.

40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: We will not be drawn into the conflict. Docthors Jackson,

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: notwithstanding you know you had sort of an idiot ag

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: and coming along on this, I wouldn't say that because

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: we have cases in front of the court. So Joe,

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: well put and lift off. The crew of Artemis two

45
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: now bound for the Moon.

46
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: You'll go deeper into space than any human has ever

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: gone before.

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Well, going back.

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: To the second Moon.

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 6: That's why new questions about Tiger Woods's future.

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: After the fifteen time major champion was arrested, he was

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: sweating profusely. His movements were lesargic and slow. Mister Woods,

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: did you hang out down here with us?

54
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: Please?

55
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was stalking the president. Well speak. Do you

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: know I have a fear of German sausages. I always

57
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: fear the worst. It's clips of the good stuff in there.

58
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: So did you know? I did not know until just

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: two minutes ago when I read this The Civil Rights

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: movement protested heavily the moon landing in June of nineteen

61
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: sixty nine.

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did not know this. Yeah, I can

63
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: picture Eldridge Cleaver was it leading a big protest in

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: uh Houston.

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: I think this is after Martin Luther King Junior had

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: died if you know your history, because he was killed

67
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: in April fourth. Tomorrow's the anniversary nineteen six. This is

68
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine, June when we landed men on the moon.

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: But Ralph Abernathy, who's one of the closest advisors in

70
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: right hand men to Martin Luther King Jr. Led a

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 2: protest with about five hundred mostly African American protesters about

72
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: how we're spending all this money on going to the

73
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: moon while people are still.

74
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Hungry, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, I wonder if that's

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: what I'm picturing. Yeah, the money should be spent in

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: the cities, not on the moon.

77
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a number of problems with that. There

78
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: will always be hungry people. So if you're going to

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: go with that sort of logic, he can't ever do

80
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: anything as long as anybody's hungry. All of these various

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: programs that you want to throw money at to try

82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: to eliminate hunger seems to have only increased it in

83
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: certain segments of society or made.

84
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Things trained as graft. Yeah.

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: And then you also have I saw this yesterday somebody

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: who's making this sort of argument for present day with

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: the NASA launch of Artemis two and all that that,

88
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: with the we spend twenty billion dollars in our space program,

89
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: and somebody wisely pointed out, yeah, but we spend and

90
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: I forget what the number was, three quarters of a

91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 2: trillion dollars on various aid programs.

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: In the United States. I mean it's not even close.

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's a drop in the bucket where we're

94
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: spending on NAT's complained compared to for his tax transfers

95
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: to try to help out people who don't have enough

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: of this or that.

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: But a lot of people would hear that argument say wow, yeah, yeah,

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: So it's actually both the false choice uh uh fallacy

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: and it's just the mathing right. Yeah.

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: The tweet, and I don't remember who, was from some lefty,

101
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: well known lefty. The tweet was billions for the space

102
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: program and pennies.

103
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: For the hungry.

104
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: And the response by somebody who knows the numbers was

105
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: or twenty billion for space program in like three quarters

106
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: of a trillion.

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: For the hungry.

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: But you know, you do you yeah, But that sort

109
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: of thing works.

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: It works all the time on a lot of people.

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: That's why democracy doesn't work. It's it never worked. It

112
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: can't work. We need to restrict voting to landed white wow,

113
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: and every other color, males and females, anybody with a job,

114
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: anybody who pays taxes. You gotta pay more in taxes

115
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: than you get out of it to be allowed to vote.

116
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: I'll be a fascist. Go ahead, I'm a fascist. Well, goose,

117
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: step right on out of here.

118
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: We had a little clip in there of Gavin Newsom's

119
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: wife talking about how she reads to her kids. If

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: you didn't hear that, we did it earlier in the show.

121
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: It's really really insufferable. Good lord.

122
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole point of view.

123
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Changes the male protagonist to female, so her children realize

124
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: that girls can do things too, because it's the Middle

125
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Ages or even nineteen fifty.

126
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: What are you talking about, She's a reading person, Tom

127
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: Sawyer to her kids? Does she make it, Tina Sawyer,

128
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: so that they know that girls can also make rafts

129
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: and travel around with former slaves.

130
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: Do friends into painting their fence? Yeah, go ahead and

131
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: play the clip, Michael. I have a comment.

132
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: What I've done with both my daughters and my sons

133
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is

134
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: a male, I just change the heat to as she

135
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: and it just normalizes for my sons. In particularly, it's

136
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: not even I don't even just do it.

137
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: For my girls.

138
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: I do it for my sons because I want them

139
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: to see that women can be the center of a story,

140
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: that women matter, that women are interesting.

141
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Because there are never books, TV shows, movies.

142
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Anything where women in real life where women are the

143
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: center of the story just never happens.

144
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Right, What are you talking about, you crazy person? Two

145
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: things I never bring up, like family or children of

146
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: politicians unless they make them fair game. It's like the

147
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: rules a cross examination in a courtroom. I fear for

148
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: those boys, and I hope they are okay to be

149
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: constantly hammered with the message that I mean. The unspoken

150
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: message is, I'm not going to tell you about boys

151
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: who are heroic or do things, or are adventurous, because

152
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: it's much more important that you learn this. There's an

153
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: unspoken message there. Well, so I give you a couple

154
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: of paragraphs about but I'll bet you can guess what

155
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm mean.

156
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: She's doing to her kids what she believes the world

157
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: is doing to women but hasn't been for like centuries.

158
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Right, right, And then my second thought about it, and

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I think I said this on just a segment that

160
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: only goes out to around the radio ranch locally. Her

161
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: deal is, I believe, Number one, she's got that progressive self,

162
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a grandizing look how enlightened I am thing twenty four

163
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: to seven she's That's what she gets up in the

164
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: morning to do, is to make herself look enlightened. And secondly,

165
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: because she operates in the rarefied air of the very

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: very wealthy Napa Valley types and the rarefied air of

167
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: the very very powerful Sacramento political class, she has no

168
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: idea what normal people think or do or how we live.

169
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: She's guessing she's heard things about how the unwashed masses

170
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: behave and what they think the poor bigoted, you know,

171
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: racist woman hating scum. I mean, it's like she took

172
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: her kids on that zoo trip to the Red States

173
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: so they could see Hayden racism and bigotry. It's like, sweetheart,

174
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: I've lived in the Red States. I love. It's fine.

175
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: It's not what you're picturing from your mountaintop in Healsburg. Well,

176
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: and then she's got another clip, is her She gives

177
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: her boys dolls so that they can learn about nurturing

178
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: and whatever. And so apparently that's her, never having had

179
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: the experience a lot of us have where if you

180
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: let like some boys and girls run wild in a

181
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: room full of toys, the girls pick up the dolls

182
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: and the boys pick up the dump trucks. Almost entirely,

183
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: they just do. We got to deconstruct gender roles. Jack

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: not a social construct. Nobody told the little my son

185
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: when he was three, only pick up the bulldozers. Boys

186
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 2: don't nurture children, all right, now, go get the bulldozer

187
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: and the oppostion to the girls pick up the doll.

188
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Girls only take care of babies.

189
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: No, they just naturally do that because there is a

190
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: difference between the genders and were designed a certain way

191
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: by evolution.

192
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: And I threw in, go ahead and play with the doll,

193
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: because you'll never be at the center of any adventure

194
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: or story. I made sure my girls do that.

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've given our boys dolls. Even if

196
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: they tear that off, I've given them dolls to learn

197
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's

198
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that

199
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: is a responsibility of men.

200
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is a dedicated adherent to postmodernism critical theory.

201
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: She's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.

202
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: Or you are so wildly lacking an insight, dear, you

203
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: live in a world that the world you imagine is

204
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: nothing like the world that actually exists.

205
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 7: That's a great question.

206
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: Well, it was a statement.

207
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: So, as Mark Cowperan's always pointing out, there is no

208
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: scrutiny like running for president scrutiny. I mean, you can

209
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: be governor, you can do all kinds senator, you can

210
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: do all kinds of things. And people are like looking

211
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: for the appo. But it's nothing even close to like

212
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: when you're in it for president. There's going to be

213
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: stuff that she has said on camera, on video, tweeted out,

214
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: written about over her ear. It's going to come out

215
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: if he actually makes it to presidential GANDID that he

216
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: is really going to struggle to deal with. I mean,

217
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: because this is this is fifty year old her. What

218
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: was twenty five year old her.

219
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Saying, honestly, it's imp it's possible that it was none

220
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: of this crap because she hadn't been indoctrinated into critical

221
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: station point. She might have been a normal person when

222
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: she was twenty five. That's possible. Yeah. Wow, Okay, we

223
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way. Stay here.

224
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: I needed a place in NYC to nap, so I

225
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: looked up on Reddit where to napp and it was

226
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: like all these things being like there's one secret room

227
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: in this library that if you go at these hours,

228
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: the guards aren't there. Until I read the best idea ever,

229
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 4: which I did. I went to the movie theater, paid

230
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: fifteen dollars for a ticket and slept in the recliner

231
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: seats during the movie, popped in my earbuds, put on

232
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: my beanie and I had one of the best naps

233
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 4: of my life.

234
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: That is a.

235
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: Great idea, a reddit that lets you know all the

236
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: good places you could nap. It reminds me of the

237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: Seinfeld episode where they were quizzing each other, like George

238
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: Costanzo could tell you the closest public restroom, give me

239
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: a spot, you know, twenty third and ninth, the Barnes

240
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: and Noble bookstore. You know, just where people go to

241
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: a public restroom. There need to be you know, Reddit

242
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: things like that.

243
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, that is I take a quick nap. Hey,

244
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: this is apropos nothing. I wanted to squeeze it in.

245
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned it hours ago, but Mike and Missouri formerly

246
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Arkansas wrote, it's a really interesting note. We were talking

247
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: about the Duggers and how that thing kind of fell

248
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: apart and their problems in child molest station.

249
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Set that briefly because I'm not sure I even remember.

250
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: Weren't they held up as something great by everybody for a.

251
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: While reality show? That yeah, tons of the reality show, though.

252
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: I think they became famous pre reality show because they

253
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: had like, what eighteen kids or something. Obviously that gets

254
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: a lot of attention. And they're supposed to be this

255
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: just fantastic family that cared so much about this and that.

256
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Then there's reality ship. But then we found out there

257
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: was a pretty ugly underbelly.

258
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? Yeah, Yeah, there's some some sickness

259
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: definitely going on, including dad. I believe it was. But anyway,

260
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: let me just read some of this. I have many

261
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Dugger news since I knew both the

262
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: Duggers and Caldwell families, the ones involved in the latest scandal.

263
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: I'd been to both of their churches homes and was

264
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: part of the same cultish homeschool group with my kids.

265
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: Right and my family never Yeah, that was part of

266
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: the angle of lifting it up in the beginning was

267
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: it was homeschool, very religious.

268
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: And then he says he obviously has no sympathy for

269
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: some of the bad things that were done, but he

270
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: has a lot of sympathy for the family in general

271
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: when it comes to the weirdness of fame and media

272
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: twisting and exploit exploitation of it. And most of them

273
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: are actually doing quite well, he says, But they're doing

274
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: far better than I think could be expected based on

275
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: the weirdness of fame they received as a large family

276
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: that was selected for a show that made them rock

277
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: stars overnight to homeschoolers, and objects of hate and scorn

278
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: to a lot of the population. Just the small amount

279
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: of tension attention I got from being a Dugger adjacent

280
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: freaked me out a bit. We rented a home from

281
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: them that was on the show often that Josh and

282
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: Anna previously lived in, had randos pretend to run out

283
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: of gas, come to my door regularly hoping to meet

284
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: a Dugger, or stand out in the street taking pictures

285
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: of my kids playing in the yard, even people becoming

286
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: our friends to fish for Dugger info, elite to gossip

287
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: sites about the Duggers. I finally moved us from that

288
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: house when pictures of my kids were on an anti

289
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Dugger website where psychos make threats all the time. You know,

290
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I wrote back to Mike. Actually, I said, it's really

291
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: interesting and troubling. Fame is a curse.

292
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: The fact that so many people seek it is well dumb, yeah,

293
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: or just they don't think about it or don't get it.

294
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: Fame is a her that goes along with being successful

295
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: at a visible job. I will I will put that

296
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: as my my sentence to be engraved in granite. Why

297
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: do so many people want to be famous? It's just

298
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: a wanting too much of one level of Maslow's hierarchy

299
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: of needs, the like belongingness or yeah, they want to

300
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: be celebrated, they want to be admired.

301
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Yeah, yep, they just and it's not dumb.

302
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: That was a bad choice at words. They haven't reckoned

303
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: with her, haven't heard about the really weird side of fame.

304
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of it, not just that stuff,

305
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: but any Hollywood star, any you know, sports star would

306
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm never sure if I'm actually friends with somebody,

307
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: or they just want to drop my name or they

308
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: want something from me, you know. Among among other problems, it's.

309
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: Good Friday, maybe the most important day in the history

310
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: of Western civilization.

311
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: Whether you're religious or not. Talk about that coming up stair,

312
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

313
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: You are Christian, whether you know it or not. Actually

314
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: you're Christian, even if you're Muslim or Jewish, even if

315
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: you're an atheist. According to Tom Holland, who wrote the

316
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: book Dominion, and he is a historian, and we talked

317
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: about this fair amount a couple months ago he himself,

318
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't believe is I'm pretty sure he's not a

319
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: believer himself.

320
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: So you don't need to.

321
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: As Christopher Hitchens used to say, you read some of

322
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: these books and they sneak Jesus in through the back door,

323
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: like they make all those arguments, and all of a

324
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: suddenly they gotcha. Now you're stuck believing Jesus as a savior.

325
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: That's not what Tom Holland is up to. He's just

326
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: making the point that the crucifixion of Jesus is so

327
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: important to Western society and the way that we look

328
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: at the world that we all really are. The main

329
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: dominating philosophy of Western society is Christian, and it is

330
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: a Christian philosophy. So that's what happened on this This

331
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: is Good Friday. So in case you're for some reason

332
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: not raised in a way that you would know this.

333
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: This is the day historically that Jesus was crucified. Then

334
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: he discovered in an empty tomb Sunday three days from now,

335
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: that's Easter Sunday.

336
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: That's the way that works. Then appeared to his followers.

337
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what does Tom Holland mean by that? What

338
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: was the big philosophy thing there and he started or

339
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: these videos started making the round. This is after AOC

340
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: she was over there in Germany at whatever conference thing

341
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: they had going on there, and she mocked the idea

342
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: of Western civilization being a thing. And then there's somebody

343
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: else that made a similar comment or whatever, and the pushback, Yeah,

344
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: there is something called Western civilization. And Tom Holland had

345
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: written this book Dominion, about specifically how it comes out

346
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: of the Crucifixion. He makes the argument that the cross

347
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: is the most powerful symbol probably in the history of

348
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: the world, for the amount of time that is had

349
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: endured and had a meaning, and that previous two Jesus

350
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: and the whole story of the Crucifixion, mankind had a

351
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: very brute the strong.

352
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: What is that saying?

353
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: You're always using the strong do what they can, the

354
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: week do to what they muster. Essentially, Yeah, strong do

355
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: whatever they want and the week do what they will.

356
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Yes.

357
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: And everybody was perfectly okay with that. They just thought

358
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: that that was everybody's lot in life. That's the way

359
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: it should be.

360
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I always.

361
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: Remember, because I was confused by this saying from Bin Lawden.

362
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: After nine to eleven there was this thing that went

363
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: around with Ben lat and talking about how when two

364
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: people see, when people see two horses fighting, they root

365
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: for the strong horse when they see one horse is winning.

366
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: And I always thought, no, I don't, and I don't

367
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: think most people do.

368
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: That is the Western philosophy, in that we tend to.

369
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: If we see somebody strong brutalizing somebody weak, we're horrified

370
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: by it.

371
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: That is a new way to look at the world.

372
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 2: Coming out of the Crucifixion of Jesus two thousand some

373
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: years ago, in that the Crucifixion, crucifying people was a

374
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: way for the Roman state, and this sort of thing

375
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: had existed forever and still exists some places in the world,

376
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: showing we're in charge.

377
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: We the Romans are in charge.

378
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: We make the rules, and this will what will happen

379
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: to you if you disobey the rules. And so they

380
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: would crucify people, which it was a horribly painful way

381
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: to die, and they would.

382
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: You were torturing them to death right of course, many

383
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: hours here.

384
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: And they would do it in public and leave those

385
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: crosses hanging up on the outskirts of all the towns.

386
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: So everybody, no, this is what happens if you crosses,

387
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason I guess, I guess just human nature.

388
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: People were kind of well, you know, he had it coming.

389
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: He was a thief, or he was in a you know,

390
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 2: whatever the crime was, you went against the Romans. Tom

391
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: Holland in his book he uses the example all the

392
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: time of Caesar went up north into Europe, slaughtered a

393
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: million people and came back a hero for having done that.

394
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: Who would think in them, you know, in the Western

395
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: civilization modern era hold that up as a great thing

396
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: because you had a more powerful army, you went and

397
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: slaughtered a million innocent people. Right, nobody would have hold

398
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: that up, but that was that was the belief system

399
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: of again, of human nature. You know, see kids and

400
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: what bullies will do if somebody doesn't intervene, they'll just

401
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: take charge. But the idea, well, the weak had it coming.

402
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: The stronger came along. We root for the we root

403
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: for the strong horse Caesar in our civilization that has

404
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: better weapons, and the weak had to come.

405
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: And they deserve that for being weak. You deserve it

406
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: for being weak.

407
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: We've all known people like that who kind of feel

408
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: like kids that get picked on, well, they kind of

409
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: have it coming because they're weak, which is just the Yeah, yeah,

410
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: it's just a disgusting idea. Well, the whole the weakest

411
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: of the week, Jesus being crucified, being being resurrected, and

412
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: then being held up of here is the weakest. Here's

413
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: the lowest rising up against the most powerful, being a

414
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: symbol of you know, the downtrodden have reasons to be

415
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: respected and honored and valued in the same way that

416
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: the powerful.

417
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: Do, which was a completely new notion. Yeah, I was

418
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, and it's I happen to come across this

419
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: from Galatians, that there's neither Jew nor Greek, slave, nor

420
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: free male nor female when it comes to salvation. And

421
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: without that notion, we hold.

422
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: These truths to be self evident, that all men are

423
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: created equal could not have been written. Nobody would have

424
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: ever said that pre Christianity, very Christian notion. Tom Holland

425
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 2: makes that specific point in his book about the Declaration

426
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: of Independence. Yeah, and he doesn't the history in Tom

427
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: Holland does a much better job of describing it in

428
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: the book. If you want to read a thousand page book,

429
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: or just check out any of his YouTube videos.

430
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: There's a million of them describing.

431
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: This whole philosophy that was brand new upon the world,

432
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: the idea that the weak should be valued every bit.

433
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: As much as the strong, well and equally American is

434
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: the notion that Christianity screwed this up over and over again,

435
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: because we're human beings. We screw everything up. But the

436
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: notion that there is the Kingdom of God, then there's

437
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: the kingdom on earth. The secular should not profane the sacred,

438
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: and the sacred need not worry about the secular. That's

439
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: obviously a very non Islamic way to look at the

440
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: world too, but that absolutely informs our constitution. And you

441
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: know that came straight out of the New Testament. Render

442
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: un a Caesar, what is Caesar's under God? What is

443
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: God's Yeah?

444
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 2: And he actually talks a fair amount about Nietzschee and

445
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: who more or less had the view of the strong

446
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: get to do what they want and the week should

447
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: suffer for being weak. That Hitler latched onto with that

448
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: same sort of belief and just sharing the word the

449
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: powerful and.

450
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: Look at the.

451
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: Whether you're handicapped or whatever your problem is, you're weak

452
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 2: and you should be dispensed with, which is not the

453
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: Christian view of things.

454
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Hitler actually thought he had a duty to mankind to eliminate,

455
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: certainly to the German people. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, to eliminate

456
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: to to its strengthen the herd in general. I just

457
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: I think that example of Caesar is so interesting. There

458
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: is no.

459
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: Is there anywhere on Earth where you could still do that.

460
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: Maybe there are some I don't know, I don't even

461
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: want to mention any places, but maybe there are some

462
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: places on Earth where you would still go out and

463
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 2: slaughter the neighborhood village. And because you could do that,

464
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: you're held up as Yeah, that's awesome, good for you.

465
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: Those weak people, they haven't coming. That is definitely not

466
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: a Western civ way of looking at things.

467
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nigeria right now, yesterday, we would all be horrified

468
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: by that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't care what your political

469
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: cause is. You wiped out the suburb next door. I mean,

470
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: the entire country would turn a good against that person's cause,

471
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: no matter how good it might be. Yeah, it's horrible.

472
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: And so Holland says as a historian that that is

473
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: the dominant philosophy on Earth for a couple thousand years,

474
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 2: and we're all, oh, it's kind of like the fish

475
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: don't know they are wet because we're swimming in that

476
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: Christian view of the week versus strong and everything like that.

477
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: We're just so used to it. People.

478
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: You can be atheists, you can think Christianity is dumb

479
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: and whatever you want to think. You're still living in

480
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: a Christian world.

481
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: As you've pointed out more than once, it's sometimes atheists

482
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: who most have vehemently espouse the idea that we must

483
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: help the downtrodden, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, And.

484
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: She makes that point that the woke are Christian whether

485
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: they know it or not, and it would probably really

486
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: make them mad.

487
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I end on this note? Horse fights?

488
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: Horse fights, right, You're putting horses together to fight, would

489
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: be like dogfights, same sort of thing. And when you

490
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: see the big tough dog tearing apart the little dog,

491
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: you think, yeah, tear that week one apart. That's a

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: different way of looking at the world. Yes, then we've

493
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 2: been doing in Western civilis for a couple of thousand.

494
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: Years, and that point of view would be manifest in

495
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: a very very different form of government Tror, of course,

496
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: which is Islamism Shariah, which is why I'm so vehemently

497
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: against it. It's and its incursions into the West.

498
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me. I did go to a church

499
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: every Sunday as a kid for many, many, many years.

500
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: So where I go where the Western civilization philosophy got

501
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: into me?

502
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know.

503
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: If I had to come through the church. It might

504
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: could have come through my parents or grandparents or friends whatever. No, no, no,

505
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: you don't pick on little kids. That's that is the

506
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: weakest thing you could do, is to pick on somebody

507
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: who's weaker than.

508
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: You, right, That is that is an incredible lack of character.

509
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: That's the opposite of look at the tough dog, destroy

510
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: the little dog. The little dog had it coming. And

511
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 2: I mean that is a monumental change in philosophy. And

512
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: that's what today Good Friday symbolizes. According to Tom Holland m.

513
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: That is a really interesting, great book. Ye, it's it's.

514
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: So troubling to think that that was the dominant philosophy

515
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: for so long and could be again.

516
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: If we can't hang out of this. I certainly don't

517
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: want to offend anybody's religious beliefs, but I would say

518
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the history mankind would suggest that it's almost certainly going

519
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: to be the brutality again unless we defend enlightenment. It

520
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: needs to be defended. It's not the net back to

521
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: the OFFICI doesn't know what's what. It's not the natural state

522
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: of mankind. It's a miracle. Fight for it.

523
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, we'll finish strong next.

524
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: But listen to this.

525
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 5: Hershey and I said they will soon go back to

526
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 5: using chocolate for their Reese's products. This raise the way

527
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 5: more questions than it answer.

528
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: No kidding.

529
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: Everyone about to give their kid an Easter basket full

530
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: of Reess is like great timing?

531
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: What no kidding? What is our what is? What is it?

532
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: Now?

533
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: You don't want to know? Apparently not. Well, it's like

534
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: cheese whizz or whatever is pasteurized cheese food. I mean

535
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: it's look, we came up with it in the lab.

536
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: It looks like chocolate. It tastes more or less like chocolate,

537
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: just to eat it. So so go ahead, I was

538
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: gonna say. Another humorist but not making jokes. Greg Guttfeldt

539
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: took on one of our favorite topics lately, the Go

540
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: Go power couple from California. The newsoms see what he

541
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: had to say.

542
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 7: Here's the voices to stand out and speak out when

543
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 7: they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and

544
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 7: misogyny around them. I am a truth seeker and they

545
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 7: need to know the truth.

546
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: They need to know the truth what that Their mom

547
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: is just as fully is their dad.

548
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 5: Hey mom, Hey mom, can we go to Disney World? No, kids,

549
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 5: We're off to shame white people in Alabama. These two

550
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: are not a power couple. They're just a better looking

551
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 5: version of Jim and Tammy fay Baker Shelf, promoting egotists

552
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: who gained the system by seizing control of it. And

553
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: the scariest part is this is the best the DEM's got.

554
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's latched onto that on the right now his will yeah, yeah.

555
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: That might keep him from running. It could, and he

556
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: might not even tell. He might not even be honest

557
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: with his own wife about why he decides not drying

558
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: because he can say I just decided I didn't want

559
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: to put the kids through it, not because I found

560
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: out there a lot a lot of stuff you've said

561
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: over the years, and I'm gonna have to answer for

562
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: it and ain't gonna be Yeah.

563
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, honey, you know the part of the Democratic

564
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Party the ninety percent of Americans say they hate, uh,

565
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: you're it.

566
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: You're that, you're like you have become already the symbol

567
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: of it.

568
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: Love you, babe, But yeah, all those things, that's that's

569
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: what you say all the time.

570
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: You're the queen of the part of the party that

571
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: Bill Maher and others say keeps us from winning elections.

572
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I wonder, given the the the sexual fever that

573
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: egomaniacs have for getting to the White House, it could

574
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: leads you to you know, we all rationalize things all

575
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: day long. But I wonder can he rationalize away having

576
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: his wife just become a national laughing stock saying no, no, no,

577
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: I'll call them out. I'll say she's not the candidate

578
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: I am, and that'll stop it. Because he's so I mean,

579
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: I often say, like a seventeen year old is lustful

580
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: for the gentle touch of a woman. I just I

581
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: wonder whether he can put aside.

582
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: That would not work, That would not work, That would

583
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: not work. I mean, it might work if you had

584
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: a spouse who you know, had some baggage. But she's

585
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: not political. She says, you know, hey, I'm the president,

586
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: but she she is going to be uh we're running

587
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: you know, as co presidents.

588
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: She's going to be that type. Well, not only that,

589
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: but she believes she's on a whatever the secular equivalent

590
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: of a sacred mission is, She's on a sacred mission

591
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: to spread her philosophy to everyone. So she's not going

592
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: to want to let him back out. She's gonna be like, no,

593
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna fight for what we believe, which is woke nonsense.

594
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: Hey kids, it's that time again.

595
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: With Armstrong and Buddy.

596
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: Here's your oath for final thoughts, Joe Getty, let's get

597
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap

598
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: up the day of the week.

599
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: Mike Lenge Low lead us off. Which final thought?

600
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: All right, this is for adults that are going to

601
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 6: an Easter egg hunt. Let the little kids get the eggs.

602
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 6: Do not knock the little kids over. You're an adult, Yeah,

603
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 6: I've seen it with my own eyes.

604
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: Wow, they're little Osama bin Laden's, aren't they the strong Horse,

605
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: ETCETERA Katie Green or a Steam Newswoman.

606
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: As a final thought, Katie, I would love to hear

607
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: Gavin and Jennifer like in just a slight disagreement going

608
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: back and forth.

609
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Oh boy, And then he would try to make a

610
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: point and she'd go m passive, aggressive, hell is what

611
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm missing. Yeah yeah, Jack.

612
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: A final thought for us has a good reminder, Michael.

613
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: After all of my Western civilization Christianity values the week

614
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: stuff earlier this hour. I was the MC of a

615
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: giant Easter egg hunt one time, and watching moms push

616
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: down little kids to get more candy for their own

617
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: kid was one of the most horrible things I've ever seen.

618
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was horrible, Katie. It was a radio promotion.

619
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: Mom's just like elbowing down little kids so they could

620
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: get ridiculous amounts of candy. I mean, more than you

621
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 2: could ever need in your life though.

622
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: How humans actually are illustrated right there? My final thought

623
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: is two words long, go Eline. I fighting Line Eye

624
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: in the final four plane Saturday night, maybe in the

625
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: National Championship game on Monday, Monday. Monday, yeah, Monday. And
