Speaker 1: Actually interesting. We're just talking about the state of California
Speaker 1: might go all masks. The governor is considering a mask
Speaker 1: mandatory for the whole state. Um uh, there towns in
Speaker 1: Arizona that through this whole thing mass current required. Now
Speaker 1: they're going to be required. And for the crowd out
Speaker 1: there that refuses to our masks or feel it's like
Speaker 1: some sort of attempt by the governor the government to
Speaker 1: control you. I don't know how that's gonna go. We
Speaker 1: just got this text after we were talking about it.
Speaker 1: I would quit my job if a mask were required
Speaker 1: rather than wear I'm a mask. So we'll see. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be become more common as we get
Speaker 1: further into the summer than it was two months ago
Speaker 1: when we were all scared. What I'm just sick of
Speaker 1: just conflict, people yelling at each other and tweeting in
Speaker 1: the rest of it. I just have had enough, you know,
Speaker 1: how about a little agreement. I just wanna I think
Speaker 1: the great question of history is what we're going to
Speaker 1: figure out because this is all new. Um, when people say, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's enough, I can't take it, that's too much, do
Speaker 1: they just stop paying attention to stuff? And the forces
Speaker 1: of evil roll over us, um the extremists, or do
Speaker 1: we somehow get back some sense of normal? Yeah, interesting question.
Speaker 1: I guess we will off find. We will find out,
Speaker 1: we will find going together. Speaking of conflict and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. You remember, Gone with the Wind removed
Speaker 1: from HBO Max or whatever that streaming services because of
Speaker 1: its racist portrayal. Blah blah blah. I'm increasingly thinking that
Speaker 1: was a publicity stunt. But Variety, I've never seen Gone
Speaker 1: with the Wind. I don't think. I have never seen
Speaker 1: it end, and I've seen chunks of it here and there,
Speaker 1: and I probably should I didn't realize it's the biggest
Speaker 1: grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation. It's fine,
Speaker 1: it's fine. It had a couple of giant stars. It
Speaker 1: was an epic, the rest of it. But I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it. But variety, which is the Bible of Hollywood?
Speaker 1: Are there any car chases and Gone with willyne carriage chase? Variety?
Speaker 1: Where was the Bible? Is that? No? Not not the
Speaker 1: literal Bible. It's the Bible of Hollywood. Is that? With
Speaker 1: ten other problematic films that could use warning labels, don't
Speaker 1: dare watch these films until we name them stay with us.
Speaker 1: So we got a presidential election coming up. Interesting situation.
Speaker 1: I had a nerd where the guy running against Trump
Speaker 1: is leading in the polls without like having press conferences,
Speaker 1: without going out and rallying, without really doing much um uh.
Speaker 1: And there there's there's some belief. I think it's absolutely
Speaker 1: true that they feel like the less he has seen,
Speaker 1: the better for his candidacy. The Biden of two thousand
Speaker 1: probably could beat Donald Trump in the election. Ken the
Speaker 1: Biden of two thousand twenty. And if people don't see
Speaker 1: them in their mind, they're thinking Joe Biden from years ago.
Speaker 1: But if they see him now, they think, oh jeez,
Speaker 1: he's not that Joe Biden I remember, or if they
Speaker 1: hear him anyway, here's a little of him coming out
Speaker 1: yesterday to speak to the world American. He's a president
Speaker 1: who will do the work. I'm ready in day one
Speaker 1: after more than three years in office. Why isn't Donald
Speaker 1: Trump ready? Mr? President? Wake up, get to work. There's
Speaker 1: so much more to be done. Thank you, Holy can't.
Speaker 1: What's the visual on that, Sean? Have you seen it? Well?
Speaker 1: He kind of holds, so he finishes. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can be overstated that that was the end of
Speaker 1: the speech. Right, It's supposed to be very clear when
Speaker 1: you're done, and then if you're speaking in front of
Speaker 1: a friendly crowd, that kind of clap. But he kind
Speaker 1: of petered off there, thank you as he lifted up
Speaker 1: his his notes and kind of signaled to the crowd
Speaker 1: with that's it and started walking away, and then kind
Speaker 1: of a slow clap started coming from the crowd. So
Speaker 1: I just glad to hear he could lift his notes
Speaker 1: because it sounded like, you know, he was too weak
Speaker 1: actually get the air born. Nobody else could figure out
Speaker 1: that was the end of the speech either until he
Speaker 1: was leaving the podium. I didn't hear a goose. So
Speaker 1: that's good. That's a step forward. You know what they
Speaker 1: are winnow and they're they're yeah, exactly, they're sharpening their game.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier this morning, and I particularly we
Speaker 1: particularly liked this little ending part thank you. That is
Speaker 1: the weakest thank you I've ever heard. I am serious.
Speaker 1: I hear that, and I have this animal reaction that
Speaker 1: that is one of my species about to die. I
Speaker 1: have a concerned I think, oh, he does not sound good.
Speaker 1: Probably got to gather the family. I'm serious, he sounds terrible.
Speaker 1: I heard a different part of the speech on NPR.
Speaker 1: Obviously they weren't gonna highlight that, but I heard a
Speaker 1: different partner speech on NPR, and um uh, I thought
Speaker 1: he must have a cold or something because he sounds ill,
Speaker 1: sounds sick like his voice is a little more or
Speaker 1: off for a little more air than usual. Now, there
Speaker 1: was talking earlier of a previous political thank you that
Speaker 1: had current, that had help until that time held the
Speaker 1: belt for weakest thank you? Um do we want to
Speaker 1: compare Joe's with us today? Joe? Where are you? Where
Speaker 1: is Joe? Joe here with us today? Joe? I thought
Speaker 1: you were here today. All right, well you're all Joe
Speaker 1: the blammer, So I'll have your stand up and say
Speaker 1: I thank you. Oh boy, that went poorly. That was more.
Speaker 1: That was more emotional death than physical. Oh you think
Speaker 1: he was was embarrassed and piste off at his staffers
Speaker 1: or just realized I'm not gonna win. I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be president. That's what that thank you was. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was an emotional Physically he's still you know he was.
Speaker 1: That was the will to live as opposed to his
Speaker 1: life force, which is Biden's that was the election. Can't
Speaker 1: get enough. There's a lot of political speech that's crap,
Speaker 1: and it appeals to the emotions and it's it's nonsense.
Speaker 1: I'm much more into policy than falling in love with
Speaker 1: a candidate. On the other hand, and stylistic flourishes, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, if Joe Biden had said those
Speaker 1: same words in a voice that suggested, did I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be dead tomorrow, in a voice that suggested
Speaker 1: I have energy, I'm intent, I'm serious about this stuff,
Speaker 1: Mr President. After three years, you're still not ready. There's
Speaker 1: work to be done. Get to work. Thank you, We
Speaker 1: thanks everybody, thank you. But no, he sounds like he's dying.
Speaker 1: The only thing I think is the only thing that
Speaker 1: would explain it would be if you're right that there
Speaker 1: they're feeling is we need to be really calm and
Speaker 1: steady as just the polar opposite of of frenetic craziness.
Speaker 1: We can bore the electorate in our way to the
Speaker 1: White House. And maybe he just overdid it, or if
Speaker 1: you're right about he was sick. He had a throat
Speaker 1: thing going and he was going for quiet, and it
Speaker 1: just choked off completely. You know, sometimes you're worn out.
Speaker 1: We we did uh we didn't add or something a
Speaker 1: couple of months back and then the hands in, our
Speaker 1: executive producer, brought it to us and said, I didn't
Speaker 1: air this. You want to take a look at this,
Speaker 1: and then he played it back force and it was
Speaker 1: real a low energy. It was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're both tired or distracted or whatever, but it's like,
Speaker 1: come to Jones plymouth or whatever is and and so
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he wouldn't buy a plymouth from from
Speaker 1: Jones with your money. Maybe he was just in one
Speaker 1: of those moods. But because it can happen to anybody,
Speaker 1: and we're where we're robusters can be. I can live
Speaker 1: a hundred pounds clear over my head, um, not even
Speaker 1: break a sweat. Uh Yeah, but that's that's that's troubling.
Speaker 1: That's troubling. I'm telling you what. If I'm the Trump campaign,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a hold of that, man, I'm running that
Speaker 1: all over and over. And we mock regularly the whole
Speaker 1: idea of veep steaks, which is always overblown. Who gets
Speaker 1: chosen to be the vice president? Who freaking cares, and
Speaker 1: then then that it has almost no effect on anybody's
Speaker 1: a three point bumping his whole state of New Hamps.
Speaker 1: I've never known a single person that votes for the
Speaker 1: president based on who their vice presidential choices could be.
Speaker 1: The exceptions could be the exception if you think one,
Speaker 1: there's no way he does two terms, and two I
Speaker 1: don't think he can last four years. His personal physician
Speaker 1: has declared him, oh fittig one foot in the grave.
Speaker 1: I don't want yeah, yeah, the vat matters. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: He does not sound like a man who will be
Speaker 1: alive in four years. I don't want to get too dark.
Speaker 1: But if me neither. If that's if that's Grandpa saying
Speaker 1: albeit at your graduation in the spring, and he sounds
Speaker 1: like that, you think, I hope so right right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not dark. That's just human concern. Yeah, wake up,
Speaker 1: thank you, wake up, thank you. I'm telling you that
Speaker 1: has an emotional reaction. It causes It causes me to think, oh,
Speaker 1: he's he's blacks a little bozzas say, so you should
Speaker 1: you should? You can't watch Gone with the Wind on
Speaker 1: one streaming service that I think was going for a
Speaker 1: policy and I think it's back up now with the
Speaker 1: disclaimer at all. My God, slaves aren't actually happy being slaves.
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching, Honey, did you hear about this?
Speaker 1: Turns out there unhappy? Ten other problematic films that could
Speaker 1: use a warning label Stay with us The Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jetty Show. I'm the Scared of the Virus guy now,
Speaker 1: I and just I think looking at this, Florida has
Speaker 1: all the markings can become next coronavirus epicenter? What's going
Speaker 1: on in Arizona? About it? And I've heard so many predictions,
Speaker 1: you know, wait till two weeks from now. I'm often
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. Sometimes it doesn't. I hope I'm wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to be wrong deeply. Mm hmm. Also here's
Speaker 1: your headline. Judge rules in favor of squatter illegally occupying house.
Speaker 1: If you'd like your head to explode, stay tuned for that,
Speaker 1: sorrow boy, the more laws, the less justice. You know?
Speaker 1: Who said that? Do you tell me? Because I don't
Speaker 1: remember John Wayne's exactly John Wayne and Mark Twain or
Speaker 1: Liel Wayne, Bruce Wayne. I can't remember Alex Baldiley. Actually
Speaker 1: it may have been Plato. One more headline. We haven't
Speaker 1: mentioned while that. There's one more headline, folks, Marcus Cerrio,
Speaker 1: Marcus Sirius Cicero. That goes back to Cicero. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: more laws, the less justice. Wow, that's really interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the government governs best, which governs the least. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: have had two percent of the laws we have in
Speaker 1: modern society. Um, top that shot the dude in the
Speaker 1: back and Atlanta the parking lot at the Wendy's eleven
Speaker 1: counts could face the death penalty and the charges yesterday.
Speaker 1: So that's where that is. Yep, I maintained they are
Speaker 1: overcharging him to keep calm in the streets, relative calm,
Speaker 1: and you will see some of those charges fall away
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. But we'll we'll find out. So this, Uh,
Speaker 1: the folks at Variety are writing about Gone with the
Speaker 1: Wind getting yank from the HBO service, so you would
Speaker 1: hear that the HBO service exists, in my opinion, And
Speaker 1: they go into other films that are racist of course,
Speaker 1: Birth of a Nation, Song of the South, but the
Speaker 1: range of problematic films is wide, including Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Speaker 1: Mackey really stereotyped role as a Japanese man is appalling
Speaker 1: there right West Side Story, Puerto Ricans are almost only
Speaker 1: shown as gang members. Now, Birth of a Nation. There's
Speaker 1: nobody that doesn't watch that at this point, is like,
Speaker 1: and it's just a drama, historical artifice, right, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's something you're it's a look at a
Speaker 1: different time, right, And and racism in the same way. Uh,
Speaker 1: you watch what's the Lenny Reef install, the movie about
Speaker 1: Hitler's eyes Um Triumph of the Will. I mean you
Speaker 1: don't watch that thinking, Hey, I heard it's a documentary
Speaker 1: about Germany. No, everybody knows what it is. Moving along
Speaker 1: the nineteen you seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and Mickey Rooney's.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, it's pretty over the top. But so what
Speaker 1: But what are they claiming it should come with? Because
Speaker 1: that's a great movie, Breakfast Tiffany. I like watching the
Speaker 1: westerns from like the forties, fifties, sixties where all the
Speaker 1: Indians were just Italian guys or somewhat olive skin. But
Speaker 1: are they talking about pulling Breakfast with Tiffany's? Well, no problematic, okay,
Speaker 1: but what do you and how about if you're gonna
Speaker 1: start putting disclaimers on Gone with the Wind. Here's some
Speaker 1: other movies that might deserve disclaimers. Exact, the disclaimers say,
Speaker 1: Mickey Rooney has a crazy racist role as a Japanese guy,
Speaker 1: and we don't approve and it here's the movie. How
Speaker 1: about seventy five slave owner drama Man Dingo jaw dropping
Speaker 1: and apparently aimed at a KKK demographic, writes Variety dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's see, but those are not even the ten films
Speaker 1: that need to be presented with disclaimers and discussions before
Speaker 1: and after a screening. Oh, that's gonna make movie watching fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and many of these movies are completely iconic ones.
Speaker 1: Dirty Harry, I've seen it multiple times. Remember started a
Speaker 1: craze for movies about Maverick cops who get the job
Speaker 1: done followed by their following their instincts rather than the law. Oh,
Speaker 1: they say it's a problem from a cops standpoint, them
Speaker 1: liberal judges and do gooders, and the villain claims police brutality,
Speaker 1: planting the seed that other such charges are fake moves
Speaker 1: to get sympathy. Yeah, it's interesting those movies, the Dirty
Speaker 1: Harry movies, and what was the Charles Bronson version. He
Speaker 1: was always taking vengeance on something that somebody murdered his daughter,
Speaker 1: and then he was going out anyway. Those were very
Speaker 1: popular when crime was at its height in America, when
Speaker 1: crime was out of control in big cities, those movies
Speaker 1: were popular. It gave people a sense of control. Will
Speaker 1: we uh have that disclaimer? Before the movie, liberal policies
Speaker 1: led to an enormous explosion in crime. People were scared legitimately,
Speaker 1: and so fantasies about you know, vigilantes who are popular.
Speaker 1: Now you're not gonna hear that Forrest Gump. The film
Speaker 1: is condescending to anyone with a disability and people with aids,
Speaker 1: among others. All right, that's dumb all the way around.
Speaker 1: It's actually hostile the protesters, activists in counterculture. And the
Speaker 1: lovable title character's name is full name, Nathan Bedford Forrest
Speaker 1: named after his grandfather, first grand wizard of the clan.
Speaker 1: And you like that. Also a Confederate general um that
Speaker 1: one is stupid, and that one is that the other ones. Okay,
Speaker 1: that one's just stupid. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,
Speaker 1: the exotic villains are portrayed as primitive and bloodthirsty four runners,
Speaker 1: resulting in negative and stereotypical depictions of India and of
Speaker 1: Hindu customs. Or is this serious list? Or is this serious?
Speaker 1: You can't telle Once upon a Time in Hollywood controversial
Speaker 1: depiction of of Bruce Lee. Black people seem non existent,
Speaker 1: the Mexicans as they're called, their car valets and waitresses,
Speaker 1: and Charles Manson's white supremacist agenda is ignored because he
Speaker 1: was completely psychotic. It's also not a factual movie. Well,
Speaker 1: but it's problematic. The Searchers John Wayne plays a Civil
Speaker 1: War veteran on the Confederate side who goes on a
Speaker 1: five year searcher's niece who was kidnapped by the Comanches.
Speaker 1: Wayne's character is an unapologetic racist who sees all Native
Speaker 1: Americans as less than human, et cetera, etcetera. Right the
Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs. If we go down this road,
Speaker 1: we will eliminate a great portion of books and movies
Speaker 1: that are part of the greatest stuff ever made. The
Speaker 1: problem with the Silence of the Lands Clarice is that
Speaker 1: it depicts the criminals transgender identification as part of his
Speaker 1: mental illness, shows him putting on women's makeup, tucking his
Speaker 1: mail jet way. I wish I could tug mine away.
Speaker 1: They never do me any not my problem. He plays
Speaker 1: with his poodle and dances with himself. Problematic. We need
Speaker 1: a disclaimer. We got more of these. There may be
Speaker 1: your favorite movies. Stupid Jennifer Lawrence has broken Twitter silence.
Speaker 1: We've created a new public Twitter accounts to comment on
Speaker 1: racial injustice. Will be monitoring your Twitter account all day
Speaker 1: long to see what the young actress, the twentysomething actress
Speaker 1: has to say. There is not a microns earth powerful
Speaker 1: enough to find him. Give a damn. I know it's something.
Speaker 1: It's something. It's something that they announce it with the
Speaker 1: assumption that a lot of people care, and then the
Speaker 1: news media repeats it is if there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people that I find that interesting. Well, Jackie takes
Speaker 1: all kinds? Does it take all kinds? I find myself
Speaker 1: wondering this. It probably takes several kinds to keep the
Speaker 1: world turning. It doesn't take all kinds. There are several kinds.
Speaker 1: I think ought to go, oh, and I want to
Speaker 1: tease this Albuquerque, what how do I personalities? Obviously not
Speaker 1: you know how the town of Albuquerque New Mexico's largest city,
Speaker 1: is UH dealing with calls to defund the police. Pretty
Speaker 1: good idea that I could easily see becoming the model
Speaker 1: UH in a lot of places around a Mary talk
Speaker 1: about that coming. Alburquerque famously liberal. Everybody knows as Albuquerque goes,
Speaker 1: so does the rest of the country. What's common? What?
Speaker 1: A Colorado Springs man who lived in a dead woman's
Speaker 1: house and used her car for months after she passed
Speaker 1: away is causing more trouble for the victims family. The
Speaker 1: man by the name of Jack Cole. There's a series
Speaker 1: of reports looking into alleged squatting cases in Colorado. This
Speaker 1: news station is doing. More than two years after Cole
Speaker 1: was evicted by the courts, he's filed a lawsuit against
Speaker 1: the dead woman's family for more than a quarter of
Speaker 1: a million dollars. In a bombshell discovery, News five has
Speaker 1: learned in El Paso County judge has ruled in his favor.
Speaker 1: There is a twist, So don't let your head explode yet.
Speaker 1: But so he heard the woman died and then went
Speaker 1: into her house. Is that what happened? No, No, it
Speaker 1: explains that in a little bit. But she passed in
Speaker 1: a bunch of squatters took over her house and um
Speaker 1: A coal is certain currently serving time behind bars at
Speaker 1: the Crowley County Correctional Facility on an unrelated sexual assault case.
Speaker 1: Even though he's locked up, that hasn't stopped him from
Speaker 1: filing numerous lawsuits, including one against the Clark family for
Speaker 1: more than four hundred thousand dollars. In a jaw dropping decision,
Speaker 1: a judge ruled in his favor. However, this news station
Speaker 1: did an investigation review the court records. Um it shows
Speaker 1: that Cold One is cased by falsifying records, records that
Speaker 1: looked really legitimate. They fooled the court and they'll probably
Speaker 1: get reversed. But those familiar with cold says is the
Speaker 1: type of criminal just won't go away. He's a liar
Speaker 1: and we have to live through this, said one of
Speaker 1: his victims. It's just not right. Um So she lost
Speaker 1: her daughter in October. The woman passed away. If the
Speaker 1: loss of a loved one wasn't enough grief, she met
Speaker 1: with a surprise when she went to Wendy's Colorado Springs
Speaker 1: home to gather her belongings. Jerry said there were random
Speaker 1: people living in sign whom she had never met for months.
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Now it's your family's property. Your family
Speaker 1: member passes away, you show up, somebody's invaded that home.
Speaker 1: I would assume I call the cops and they're out
Speaker 1: in fifteen minutes. Four months, Jerry fought with the court
Speaker 1: system to get the squatters out, all while this cold
Speaker 1: character and his friends taunted the family at Christmas time.
Speaker 1: They even put up her decorations talking about pain. Wow.
Speaker 1: Finally in tween so it took about a year, but
Speaker 1: very tempting to try to find a certain crowd of
Speaker 1: people then for cash would get those people out of there. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: extremely tempting. The only thing that would stop you from
Speaker 1: doing it is realizing how twisted our court system and
Speaker 1: laws have been. And you'd think I can't even ask
Speaker 1: them to leave, much less you know something more extreme.
Speaker 1: So the next year they finally ordered the squatters to leave.
Speaker 1: Posession of the home was returned to Wendy's family. Of course,
Speaker 1: it was destroyed by the squatters. What it's pathetic, Jerry said,
Speaker 1: absolutely pathetic. We told the police we needed help. Nobody
Speaker 1: could help us because it was a civil case. They
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. What is wrong with our system. God
Speaker 1: dang it, how is occupying property a civil case? If
Speaker 1: somebody like that ever happened in your life and you
Speaker 1: were dealing with it all the time, obviously alongside the
Speaker 1: rest of your life, job, kids, health, everything else, you're
Speaker 1: dealing with this all the time, God dang it, that
Speaker 1: would be maddening. This News five, By the way, good
Speaker 1: for them. They did multiple stories on alleged squatting situations,
Speaker 1: eventually forced lawmakers to pass legislation expert adding court proceedings
Speaker 1: to get unauthorized documents out of homes. Um, that's most
Speaker 1: of what I know about this is the same as
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Is that movie Pacific Heights with
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton when they couldn't get him out of that
Speaker 1: that house in San Francisco. Yeah, and the law kept
Speaker 1: saying aneling NewBoy. Fast forward to today, Wendy's family is
Speaker 1: dealing with another nightmare in the form of a lawsuit. Um,
Speaker 1: Wendy's sister, the deceased woman's sister, is one of three defendants.
Speaker 1: This cold guy is suing seeking more than four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in damages, And so you've got to defend
Speaker 1: against a lawsuit which means you I got to hire
Speaker 1: a lawyer and spend all sorts of money and time.
Speaker 1: He's a long time convicted felon, does not have legal counsel.
Speaker 1: But that didn't prevent him from winning his case. Again,
Speaker 1: that's probably going to get overturned. But um, can you
Speaker 1: imagine I went to get my mail and had a
Speaker 1: letter from the El Paso County Court that there was
Speaker 1: a default judgment entered against me. I had no idea
Speaker 1: there was a lawsuit I was involved in. I never
Speaker 1: got served paperwork, so I had no knowledge this was
Speaker 1: happening whatsoever. She just got hit with the judgment by
Speaker 1: the county. Unfreaking believable. You know, life, liberty, and property
Speaker 1: is are the sacred right that this country was founded on.
Speaker 1: The founding fathers change the phrase property to pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 1: But what they meant and read, um, read any one
Speaker 1: of Tim sander F's great books, The Right to earn
Speaker 1: a living for instance, Um, the pursuit of happiness was
Speaker 1: a phrase that meant the pursuit of economic achievement, making money,
Speaker 1: getting property, et cetera. They thought property was a little
Speaker 1: narrow because you know, you have a right for instance,
Speaker 1: to sell. If you have a horse, you have the
Speaker 1: right to sell the horse to somebody who has money,
Speaker 1: and so life, liberty, and property are the founding principles.
Speaker 1: And the idea that you could find scumbags occupying your
Speaker 1: house and they wouldn't be dragged out of there two
Speaker 1: hours later just absolutely disgusts me. You hate to be disgusted. Um,
Speaker 1: we need transition music, Michael, come on, what are you
Speaker 1: doing in there? Wow? Kid, you do We gotta beg
Speaker 1: you for you cork com free. They'll not keep yelling
Speaker 1: at Michael. What I'm gonna cheery mood? Now, come on
Speaker 1: singing with me? Just when you no not So, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people saying to fund the police doesn't
Speaker 1: mean getting rid of the police, And then sometimes you
Speaker 1: ask other people and they say, that's exactly what you mean. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a funny clip I saw Geese. I should have
Speaker 1: figured out where it was. Katie turn and MSNBC interviewing
Speaker 1: somebody somewhere about the whole the fund the police thing.
Speaker 1: This is last week and she said, let's just for
Speaker 1: the record, get it out there. When when people are
Speaker 1: talking about defund the police, you don't mean getting rid
Speaker 1: of the police, and he said, that's exactly what I mean,
Speaker 1: and er, um, well, that's that's a lot like Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter. People are in support of the phrase, and
Speaker 1: some people think they're in part of the organization but
Speaker 1: have no idea the full panoply of what the organization wants,
Speaker 1: and if they knew that, they'd be gainst it, but
Speaker 1: they'd still be up with the sentiment, or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: down with the sentiment, as the kids say. And it's
Speaker 1: become a take a seriously not literally thing, which is
Speaker 1: kind of funny obviously, since that's what the Trump crowd
Speaker 1: says about Trump. Um uh, the people don't mean we
Speaker 1: don't mean to fund the police, because if you pull
Speaker 1: cutting money to police departments, fient approval to fund the
Speaker 1: police does better. Because there's a certain crowd that doesn't
Speaker 1: actually mean to fund the police. They just mean, you know,
Speaker 1: fix the police department, Sure, fix policing in America, that
Speaker 1: say most Americans and most cops. Yeah, And this is
Speaker 1: what they're doing in Albuquerque. And I have a feeling
Speaker 1: this is going to become popular a lot of places,
Speaker 1: and different versions of it. Calls to to fund the
Speaker 1: police are being heard in New Mexico's largest city of Albuquerque,
Speaker 1: where the mayor Tim Keller announced plans to create a
Speaker 1: first of its kind unarmed public safety force. The Albuquerque
Speaker 1: Community Safety Department will serve alongside the Albuquerque Police Department,
Speaker 1: but be made up of unarmed social workers who are
Speaker 1: trained in dealing with homelessness, mental health, non violent emergencies,
Speaker 1: which is something the police all of our country have
Speaker 1: been asking for for a long time. Yeah, let's try it.
Speaker 1: The new force will give dispatchers a third option besides
Speaker 1: police or fire fighters, to de escalate certain situations. You
Speaker 1: send somebody is an expert in mental health and homelessness
Speaker 1: to go over and deal with that situation over there,
Speaker 1: Cops or firefighters who aren't trained to deal with either
Speaker 1: one of those things just blasted with a hose. Right,
Speaker 1: if you're a firefighter, why do you have your axe out?
Speaker 1: Why are you knocking down my tent? I'm a firefighter.
Speaker 1: I don't what I'm always supposed to do. I would.
Speaker 1: I've always thought it funny that they have to throw
Speaker 1: on their full gear on calls, including medical calls. What
Speaker 1: if in case there's a spontaneous combustion, which based on
Speaker 1: our writing with various fire departments. There's way more of
Speaker 1: that than there is into a fire. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they really firemen or firefighters is I mean, they do that, certainly,
Speaker 1: but that's not most of what they do. Funding for
Speaker 1: the new department would come from shifting resources away from
Speaker 1: five other departments, including the police, Fire and Transit department.
Speaker 1: So you'd be in effect defunding police, fire, and transit
Speaker 1: departments to have some money to spend on these other things.
Speaker 1: If we can be grown ups and talk about it
Speaker 1: this way. Um, So there you go. I think that
Speaker 1: will catch on all across the country. And I think, well,
Speaker 1: like I've said several times over the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: some people see this as conservatives getting things done that
Speaker 1: they wanted to get done with AOC leading the way
Speaker 1: or other lefties. Right right politics is so odd because
Speaker 1: the sadest psycho kneeling on poor George Floyd's neck, Um
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with police responding to mental health calls.
Speaker 1: The other has anything to do with chokeholds. Right right,
Speaker 1: Um doesn't not anything to do with a lot of
Speaker 1: the things, but right, it has to do with getting
Speaker 1: psychos off police forces. Um. But It's led to a
Speaker 1: lot more. We do it all the time. We passed
Speaker 1: gun laws or various rules after a school shooting that
Speaker 1: would have not affected that particular shooting. Yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: like we're doing something. People don't want to feel powerless.
Speaker 1: Another thing is going to bring up. What would Joe
Speaker 1: Biden say at this moment? That's what I'm wanting you,
Speaker 1: Holy cow, somebody check on him. So send the firefighters
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's house. I think he's dying. They ought
Speaker 1: to call firefighters first aiders. I wonder if it just
Speaker 1: um doesn't get you as much support politically. Well, I
Speaker 1: think they've always been firefighters. Their duties have grown through
Speaker 1: the years. I mean back in the day, if you're sick,
Speaker 1: you'd call your doctor, he'd come to your house. Now
Speaker 1: you call the fire department. Would have been something, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: good time. Yeah yeah, I like my doctor too, he's
Speaker 1: a good guy. The most popular article in the New
Speaker 1: York Times I regularly checked that column. Most popit articles
Speaker 1: usually the ones people are reading and tweeting around. The
Speaker 1: most number one right now is when I talked about
Speaker 1: yesterday flushing the toilet flings, Corona aerosol all over the place.
Speaker 1: You're shedding the virus. You're going to say a different word.
Speaker 1: You're listening on a radio and went under a bridge
Speaker 1: and things. You have a little fuzzy that was again
Speaker 1: that word was, uh, what you call the softy shedding. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're shedding the virus when you do your thing in
Speaker 1: the bathroom and then when you flush the toilet, it
Speaker 1: sends the germs up in the air. And that's a
Speaker 1: pretty bad way. Probably just don't care. So public restrooms,
Speaker 1: that's where I should throw my mask on before I
Speaker 1: go in the restroom over here where there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of people. Have been people in there, standing there, breathing,
Speaker 1: flushing toilets, etcetera. That's probably not probably guaranteed. That's the
Speaker 1: most dangerous place in this buildings. The second I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start going in the woods like a bear. It seems
Speaker 1: like a sensible bear in the woods. Seat. Again, I
Speaker 1: don't know that much about bear epidemiology. Thank you for asking.
Speaker 1: That's the question. Um Our text line is four one
Speaker 1: five to nine five k FTC. What do we want
Speaker 1: to talk about coming up? You know, we could get
Speaker 1: into the game and transgender ruling the Supreme Court just
Speaker 1: on leave. There are a lot of folks who, with
Speaker 1: all due love and respect for Neil Corsets, you're saying, boy,
Speaker 1: he got this one totally wrong. And and it's not
Speaker 1: just I'm against that. I think he's wrong, but his
Speaker 1: reasoning doesn't hold on. Yeah, I've I've read, I've read
Speaker 1: a couple of columns on that. People are saying that's
Speaker 1: a major deal, and I guess I just don't get it. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll get it more when Joe, who almost went
Speaker 1: the loss, no came super close, explains it to us
Speaker 1: coming up the Armstrong and Jetty Show. Yeah, I have
Speaker 1: read a couple of articles, seen some people say that ruling,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court ruling, the other day rulings, there were
Speaker 1: a number of them. The guns stuff was a big
Speaker 1: deal that they chose not to take up. And then this, um, well,
Speaker 1: the the immunity, the conditional conditional immunity, qualified immunity, that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't take that interview on that. Do you think
Speaker 1: I could remember? But then the whole gay transgender stuff,
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't fully appreciate what a big deal
Speaker 1: this was. Yeah, essentially, I mean, really really really boiled
Speaker 1: down you can't be fired because you're gay or transgender.
Speaker 1: Trans enter and Neil Gorstch surprised a lot of people
Speaker 1: by writing not only agreeing with the liberals on the bench,
Speaker 1: but writing the decision. I didn't know you could fire
Speaker 1: somebody prior to that for being gay or transgender. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, putting aside that basic question. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are really critical of gorse such as uh
Speaker 1: logic in the decision. And I'm gonna have to rush
Speaker 1: a little bit on this. Um Title seven was passed
Speaker 1: a number of years ago. It's been interpreted by the courts.
Speaker 1: It's you can't discriminate against people for several reasons, race, religion,
Speaker 1: and sex. And and Gorsetch is arguing that because sexual
Speaker 1: orientation and identity is tied up in sex, that that
Speaker 1: that counts. And this, uh, this was written by Ryan
Speaker 1: Anderson Guests who is a constitutional lawyer and wrote a
Speaker 1: friend of the Court brief on this case and everything else.
Speaker 1: And I found this really compelling stuff. But um Gorstch
Speaker 1: argues that whenever say is a butt four cause of
Speaker 1: negative employment decisions, sex discrimination has occurred, He writes, if
Speaker 1: the employer intentionally relies in part on an individual employees
Speaker 1: sex when deciding to discharge the employee, or if changing it.
Speaker 1: To put it differently, if changing the employee sex would
Speaker 1: have yielded a different choice by the employer, a statutory
Speaker 1: violation has occurred. Um. One example was, sean is allowed
Speaker 1: to date Chicks's not able, but allow if you change
Speaker 1: sean sex to woman, a woman is not allowed to
Speaker 1: date chicks, which is the same thing because we don't
Speaker 1: have no lesbians around here, actually do and nobody cares.
Speaker 1: But um, that's that's what gorse. It's just saying to
Speaker 1: change the sex and the same activity is okay. Another
Speaker 1: Gorsets example taking employer of fires a transgender person who
Speaker 1: has identified as male at birth but who now identifies
Speaker 1: as female. If the employer your retains an otherwise identical
Speaker 1: employee who has identified as female at birth, the employer
Speaker 1: intentionally penalizes a person identified as male at birth for
Speaker 1: traits or actions that it tolerates in an employee identified
Speaker 1: as a female at birth. So somebody acting like a
Speaker 1: female is fine if it's a female, but not if
Speaker 1: it's a male as sex discrimination. But under the Gorsete test,
Speaker 1: what is acting like a female? You know? What I
Speaker 1: mean dressing moody? Oh boy, what else you want to
Speaker 1: say out there on your island? Hey, hey, down in
Speaker 1: the whole, here's a newer, better shovel. What Ryan guest
Speaker 1: goes on to right is under the Gorsete test. If
Speaker 1: changing the plane if sex would change the outcome, sex
Speaker 1: discrimination is taking place. Suppose a female lifeguard is fired
Speaker 1: because she wears a swimsuit bottom but not a top.
Speaker 1: No doubt changing the employee sex would have yielded a
Speaker 1: different choice by the employer. Uh. That male and female
Speaker 1: bodies differ and thus required different swimsuits to prevent exposure
Speaker 1: doesn't amount to discrimination unless one embraces a simplistic theory. Uh.
Speaker 1: And of course, nothing hinges on whether this lifeguard currently
Speaker 1: identifies as a man or a woman. Consider another example.
Speaker 1: Suppose a male employee at a fitness center repeatedly goes
Speaker 1: into the women's locker room and is fired. Now, it's
Speaker 1: true that changing the employee sex would have yielded a
Speaker 1: different choice is that's a quote from Gorsage, But the
Speaker 1: negative treatment the employee faced was not sex discrimination. Providing
Speaker 1: the employer and posed no double standard for men and
Speaker 1: women because each are prevented from entering the opposite sexes
Speaker 1: private space. Um And yet with Gorsages opinion, the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court has embraced the theory of sex discrimination that prevents
Speaker 1: employers and schools from keeping males out of female only spaces,
Speaker 1: or either that or it believes only males with transgender
Speaker 1: status have the privilege of entering female only spaces, and
Speaker 1: Gorsages theory does not test for sex discrimination. Essentially, it's
Speaker 1: too simplistic. It doesn't it doesn't account for This is negative.
Speaker 1: This is a double standard. This hurts you because it's
Speaker 1: a double standard. It's just the existence of the double
Speaker 1: standard alone. Is is evidence that that it's wrong. And
Speaker 1: I'm having to cut this short because we're out of time,
Speaker 1: but I agree. I think this is this is wacky
Speaker 1: and it's gonna lead to some some rough stuff and
Speaker 1: may may probably be overturned.
