WEBVTT - Keep Your Nipples To Yourself 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:11.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty, 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:17.200 I know he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.440 The Zoo in Iowa had African Lions make their Super 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:32.000 Bowl picks. Deuce went first, decided to defer. Then Zorina 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:36.239 was up. She sniffed both barrels before choosing Seahawks. It's 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.200 might be a prediction worth banking on. The zoo says 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.640 its animals have been correct for nearly eighty percent of 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.280 the time over the years. 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.600 Of course, a lion's going to go for the NFC team, 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:51.760 So a zoo in Iowa says they're African Lions can 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.480 make Super Bowl predictions and are correct eighty percent of 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.480 the time. Like, how many years in a row have 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.520 you done this? Since it takes let's talk about the 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.440 data sets. It's a fifty to fifty shot. He started 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.800 fifty percent, okay, and if you just do it a 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.680 couple of years, you could know very easily by just guessing, 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.039 do a lot better than fifty percent. This is always 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.240 one of my favorite stories every single year, and things 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.480 that predict and he could come up with anything. The 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.840 stock market has a down week the week before a 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.280 Super Bowl, the AFC team wins. And this has been 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.960 true seventy five percent of the time over the last 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.959 decade or whatever. You can make up anything, right, right 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:40.199 the correlation Bowl. So we're all excited about substandard Rabbit 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.280 entertaining us at halftime? Right, will he do something political 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:49.360 and controversial? Roger Goodell, the godfather of the NFL commenting listen. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.800 Bet Benny was is it? And I think that was 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.200 demonstrated last night. One of the great artists in the world, 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.720 and that's one of the reasons to be chosen. But 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.320 the other reasons he underst said the platform he was on, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.680 and that was this platform is used to unite people 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.480 and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.880 with their talents, and to be able to use this 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.080 moment to do that. And I think artists in the 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.600 past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands it, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.520 and I think you'll have a great performance. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.480 And we did not bring Bad Bunny in because it 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.880 reaches a Hispanic audience and we're trying to expand the 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.840 NFL into Mexico. It has nothing in South America, has 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:32.440 nothing to do with that, right. I like your theory. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.000 I never thought of this, but makes sense to me. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.760 Bad Bunny gets paid. I don't know when he gets 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.600 paid two million dollars to be the halftime act. A 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.280 million of it you get now, and then the other 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.799 million you get after you do a performance in which 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.280 you have no stunts, no political stunts, no sex stunts, 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.760 no stunts, keep your nipples to yourself. And if you 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.600 do that, you get the other million. You come out 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.360 and rip off your T shirt that says ice are 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.440 your shirt and it says ice out underneath, you don't 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.560 get your million dollars. That's the way I handle it. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.280 One hundred percent. Yeah, I'll bet they do. Because there 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.880 has not been an incident since Janet, right since the 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.200 nipple and justin Timberlake, who was clearly a compatriot, it's 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.160 complicit in the crime. Katie, have you ever heard my 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.880 story about nipple Gate? I don't think you probably have. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.520 That's one of the great things about having Katie on 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:19.760 the show in the last couple of years. I get 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.520 to retell stories. Soaple Gate. You remember the Super Bowl 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.280 where we saw the nipple. You were probably like four 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.960 years old or something. No, I remember it. Yes, So 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.840 this was long before I had children. I was single 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:40.240 and childless. In retrospect, it's not a big deal, but 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.720 I was horrified at the time. I'm watching the super 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.840 Bowl by myself. I get a phone call. My next 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:50.720 door neighbor got pulled over driving drunk on that Sunday morning. Oh, okay, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.400 hammered drunk gets thrown in Sunday morning, getting your drink on. Yeah, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.160 I think that's a sign we're left over from the 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.280 night before or whatever. But anyway, and so I get 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.800 a call from his wife who was out of town. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.680 Their seven year old daughter was home by herself because 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.480 dad just got thrown in jail coming back from the 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.280 grocery store or whatever. And I know these people pretty well, 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.600 and could you keep an eye on her until, you know, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.560 three this afternoon when I get off work or whatever 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.800 it was. And so I go over knock and they, hey, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.520 your mom called one. Who can I have her come 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.479 over to my house? And me, not being a parent, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.880 I would have never done this now that I've been 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.680 a parent, but I e her watching the super Bowl 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.320 with me? What a boring thing for a seven year 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.159 old girl to two? Yeah, I could have come with 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.360 so much other things. I just I didn't know I would. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.200 You didn't have barbies, you didn't have coloring books. I'm 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.640 a single whatever. I was thirty eight year old guy 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.800 drinking beer watching the Super Bowl. Yeah, I didn't have 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.520 barbaries are coloring. But now I would have screwed the 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.280 super Bowl. We'd have gone for a walk or gone 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.360 to the park or whatever. I can't believe I did this. Anyway, 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.720 We sit there and watched the Super Bowl and the 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.359 halftime showing, No, there's a boob. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.520 So I'm showing a seventy year old girl ball the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.440 only time I've ever had a kid over at my house, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.280 and I'm showing them porn or total grinding. Better off 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.440 with your drunk dad than over at my house seeing. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.960 Boobs looking at boobs. It doesn't seem like it probably 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.400 did that much. Dimm She's probably won't she beat You 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.640 might be in her mid thirties now, so it was 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.000 a long time ago, right, So she might let on 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.239 the couch talking to a therapist. And then this weird 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.360 neighbor had me come over and look at booms on TV? Right, right? 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.040 What else did he do? Well? He just watched the 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.919 football game. But I'm certain something untoward was happening. You 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.240 know what this is? This is so out of date, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.839 and yet it continues to fascinate me. I want America's 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.919 greatest writers all to give me. I don't know a 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:46.520 thousand words on how Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake pig 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.440 he gets let off the hook all the time, kind 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.640 of sort of bearing a nipple more or less led 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:57.600 to you can't play Steve Miller bands, you know, with 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.320 a whatever? This song was any of that funky s 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.520 going down the city, big old jet airliner, jet air 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.880 liner right, and why Pink Floyd's money couldn't have do 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.240 goody good bulls in it anymore? On FM radio, there 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.200 are a dozen examples of that. Is that one we 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.359 got a delay because we did our talk radio without 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.040 a delay for a long time, and we took a 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.080 lot of calls too. We did live talk radio no 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.040 delay for like a decade, but then Janet Jackson's boob 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.640 all of a sudden, now we got like a seven 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.040 minute delay going on. Yes day. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.960 It was February first, two thousand and four. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.800 Yeah, twenty two years ago, a dark dark day. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.159 Whoa so that girl is thirty now, Wow, day that 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.160 will live an infamy. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.200 She let them let the nips slip and all went 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:41.200 to hell that day. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:47.359 But just continuing on the discussion. Once every I don't know, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.080 a couple of weeks months, somebody drop an s bahn, 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.880 we'd cut them off real quick and say, hey, don't 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.320 be an idiot. If you're going to be an idiot, 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.960 don't call. And that was and nobody was ever hurt 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.400 by it. Nobody ever drove off the road and died 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.080 in a fiery No kids ever turned to drugs or 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.000 prostitution because they heard an s bomb on the Armstrong 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.000 and Getty show on the way to work. It was utterly, utterly, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.880 obviously harmless. But after the boob everybody was so uptight 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.920 about it. We had to get a you know, like 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.160 a ten and a twenty and then a thirty second delay, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.320 and if anything slipped through, everybody acted like a child 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.760 had been grievously injured, right or or you know, somebody 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.560 had lost their life on the factory floor, or the 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.240 accountant had been caught embezzling all the prophets. Everybody would 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.520 act like something terrible had happened in the wake of 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.560 the boob. What does that say about human beings, Americans 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:47.280 in particular morality. I don't know. We're we're blank and stupid. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.600 It is my essay. It's brief. You saw a portion 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.760 of not even one of the really jazzy body parts. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.360 I mean there's more jazzy body part. It's in the 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.440 top few, but it's in the top three, but it's 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.560 not the top to I mean, if he had dropped 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.520 his pants and showed his wang, that would have been 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.560 a much bigger deal. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.360 Boy, and you would have had a seven year old 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:11.440 girl sitting on your couch. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:17.240 That would have been Yeah, then you might have been charged. Wow, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.040 we saw part of a boob for a tenth of 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.520 a second and the world shuddered. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.160 I remember that was when DVRs were just coming in, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.440 and that was like the most tv O moment or 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.040 whatever launched. 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.720 Is that much launched YouTube? That's what launched YouTube? Was it? Yes, 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.840 that's the famous story. YouTube existed, but everybody wanted to 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.520 see that video and it was on YouTube, So everybody 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.040 became aware of YouTube because of that, and that was 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.480 the big giant. Oh yeah, YouTube's kind of a cool thing, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:49.440 and it took off from there. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.840 Yeah, because the boob wasn't on TV long enough for 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.360 anyone to actually really register it, so they had to 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.600 go back and rewatch to be severely damaged. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.640 Yes, I remember watching it with my wife and saying, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.840 did she just show her? Uh? I can't remember what 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.480 he You mean? You said that after you had Donet crying? Well, right, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.160 that guy saw hold me? I think I just thought 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.280 part of it. I saw a pun, but part of 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.840 body part for tenth of a second? Are yet it 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.920 undeniably cost major changes to American media? What does that say? 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:22.400 God? 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.000 So I was a was I single that I don't remember? 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.840 But I was in the house by myself. I was 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.679 thirty two years old, drinking beer watching the Super Bowl. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.839 I was in no position to watch a seven year old. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.760 It's interesting, and I do not mean this in an 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.640 offensive way at all. It is interesting that you were 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.160 the person they called. That doesn't mean granted it sounds 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.280 offensive even if you didn't mean it to be offensive. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.160 Well points for proximity. But got all the people you 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.960 could call, you, got that random guy over there, you'd 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.600 be better off. Yeah, really, yeah, just pick somebody off 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.160 the street. No, come on, come on, you got a 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.400 seven year old kid. Oh my god, who do we call? 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.560 How about that single guy who lives down on the street. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.320 It's just an odd why it was mean because relative 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:09.920 trusted parents. All the other neighbors around there had kids, yes, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.840 so they must not have been I'll bet they called 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.600 ten people before they got to me, including like just 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.880 random payphones, hoping to see if somebody would answer. Right, God, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.600 we gotta call that Jack. Well, Jack last always drunk. Jack. 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.480 We'll call him. Maybe he's less drunk than her dad. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:31.520 And oh boy, that was an interesting situation. But I 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.960 just thought, what are the chances of this. I have 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.520 this kid here and all of a sudden, there's nudity 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.760 on intelligence, Your dad's in jail, you're sharing your porn 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.839 or Kimpton. Something tells me in the landscape of her 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.440 life as she looks back, that was not a major 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.880 peak nor Valley. He was a super successful guy. Just yeah, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:11:01.079 drinking on a Sunday morning for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah, sorry, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.559 I'm distracted by something happening in her my real life. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.600 I wonder if she remembers it at all. I'd love 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:12.280 to know that. I hope she's not, you know, dancing 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.480 on the pole in her thirties, because she's still so 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:19.439 horrified by that event. Seems unlikely, probably. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.640 Just to ask Janet Jackson that day exactly. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.640 She's never moved on from that moment. Dad get his 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.839 back together. Do you know? I don't know. I think 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.800 I moved out of that neighborhood and never never really 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:37.800 found out. Bite of your go to status is childcare? 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:43.320 Neighborhood childcare? Right, the single guy down the street who 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.520 always has a beer in his hand, that's the guy 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.920 call if you ever have a you just randomly need 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:55.960 somebody to watch you get marking the honor, stay care, 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.760 No kidding, Hey kid, you want a beer? It's funny. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.280 I've never thought of this, and it was so many 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.319 years ago, but clearly I had to be like the 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:08.160 eighth option of people to call. There's no way. Yeah. Well, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.040 like I said, I didn't mean to be hurtful, but 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:16.480 it's an odd choice. That was a great neighborhood too, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.360 because my other neighbors, they had a couple of daughters 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.120 in the one who did the neighborhood newspaper. Do you 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.400 remember that I would read it on the air. Yeah, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.280 she was a little gir she's a journalist now, actually 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.280 writes for a newspaper, but she would do the neighborhood 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.120 newspaper and say, interesting news with the Armstrong family. It 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.320 looks like they got a new car. You know that. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.760 I remember it was so cute. Why didn't you call 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.880 that family instead of me? They were out of town? Clearly? 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.200 Ah right, New York Times. Oh oh, go ahead, I 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.600 got to tease that. New York Times Brett Steven thinks 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.520 the Democrats will be making a huge mistake if they 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.360 pick Gavin Newsom. He's not the only one, and bad 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.680 news if you were hoping to get a reparations program going. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.240 San Francisco's given it a try, and surprisingly it's going 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.320 really poorly. We didn't predict that at all, So stay 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:12.360 tuned for all that stuff. Stay here. So at least 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.440 one columnist with the New York Times thinks it would 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.400 be a huge mistake for the Democrats nominate Gavin newsoman 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.320 Is logic is pretty sound, as we'll get to that 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.840 coming up. Speaking of progressive hopes and dreams. In December, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.080 we mentioned this and I was surprised at the time. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.640 San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lourie, who's a very reasonable guy 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.920 and has done a lot of good things for San Francisco. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.240 He signed an ordinance establishing a reparations fund for black 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.959 residents in San Francisco, but it was never clear who 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:46.480 would fund the program. He Lauri Lourie, who signed the 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:51.560 ordinance after it was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.079 stressed that no city funds will go toward the initiative. Instead, 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.079 the fund is open to private donations. The mayor said, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.560 if money becomes a billable, the city would work to 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.840 distribute it to eligible recipients. However, no nonprofit groups or 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.800 wealthy individuals appear to have come forward with plans to 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.880 donate to the fund. So reparations are unworkable with anybody 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.720 with the brain knows. And we've talked about it over 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.880 the years, but we always liked the angle of each 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:22.720 committee or Assembly or Senate or whatever passes it because 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.560 they know it's unworkable, but they don't want to be 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.240 the ones to say no, because then you get attacked 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.880 like being anti reparations. So you're some council or committee 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.320 of three people. We voted two to one to move 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.080 forward to the reparations. Then the next level says yes, 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.200 and the next level, all of them knowing it can't 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.600 ever happen. How would you possibly do it well? And 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.760 people who think it's a good idea are crackpots and 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:49.200 ignoramuses or race baters. But I'm sure some of them 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.000 are sincerely crack pots. And it's got to be frustrating 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.840 to go to the government say this needs to happen 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.720 and the government says, yes, it does. I'm with ya. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.240 Does everybody know what reparations are so you don't have 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:07.000 to like, Okay, I think so, don't they? Yeah? But 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.480 you know, everybody at every point says yes, I agree 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.080 with you, we're going to get it passed. And indeed 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.400 sometimes they pass it and they're like, hey, where the 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.880 reparations we're working out of funding mechanism? Well, you've got 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.280 the where's the money come from? Then? How do you 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.720 hand the money out to? Who? Who gets included? Who 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.080 doesn't get included? Right? And then remember, at one point 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:32.800 they were passing legislation or ordinances or whatever they were 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:37.120 that included anybody who's a descendant of a slave gets 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.920 a free home, for instance. Okay, well, or three million 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.760 dollars or some absurd amount of money. Were you going 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.280 to go grab a home and give it to people, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.000 or I mean, where's the home going to come from? Taxpayers? 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.720 The wretch tax The writs they got to pay their 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.320 fair share, right, right? And what about recent immigrants from Africa? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.080 And oh that, well that's your wouldn't you just mentioned 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.880 California wasn't a slave state, right, so why are the 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.280 white people of California on the hook for it? Not 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.480 that it is. It doesn't make sense even in a 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:12.400 slave state, but especially doesn't make sense in California, right, Yeah, exactly. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.360 So anyway, it's interesting that a guy as reasonable as 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.480 Dan Lurie would say, yeah, okay, sure, I'll sign it, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.800 and the National Review says he shouldn't have signed it 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.760 because now it creates this, at least a smallish bureaucracy 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.680 to distribute this money that will never exist. And I 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.720 wonder the people who are part of the Reparations Office 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.000 or whatever they're calling it, who are part of what 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.960 are they doing all day? No kidding, he's collecting a 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.000 no show paycheck. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.160 Wow. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.480 So Brett Stevens, he's the conservative by New York Times 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:56.160 Standards columnist who says the Democrats better think twice before 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.480 they nominate Gavin newsomone, and he gets through some of 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.240 the reasons why bill Board showed up in New York. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.720 Gavin Newsom the Jets of Democrats New York Jets of Democrats, 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.600 which is kind of funny, like a loser. But we 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.040 got more on the way. I hope you can stay. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.280 Here, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.160 Former First Lady Jill Biden's ex husband now facing murder 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.080 charges in the death of his current wife. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:19.560 WILLIAMS. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.240 Stevenson accused of killing his wife during a domestic dispute 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.840 in Wilmington, Delaware in December. William Stephenson and Jill Biden 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.840 divorced in nineteen seventy five. There's no comment from the Bidens. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.080 Well, you don't need to comment on some of you 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:37.560 divorced half a century ago. But Jill Biden's ex husband 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:43.359 killed his current wife. Wow, yeah, yeah. What's interesting, if 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.160 you want to spill a little tea, is that back 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.040 in the day, Joe and Jill both claimed that yeah, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.359 we we just we were introduced after the split and 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.840 husbands like bulls. Me and Jill both worked on Joe 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.919 Biden's first campaign. The tool clearly hit her off. I 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.679 could see sparks fly and wondered what was going on, 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.800 and she announces she's leaving, and then they end up together. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.800 But Joe Jill's version is, oh no, it all happened 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.000 after the splitter is completely innocent. Well, that particular story 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.879 only happens about ninety five percent of the time, so 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:25.000 signor fairly common. Will Newsom be the democrats next mistake? 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.800 Brett Stevens Rights in the New York Times talks about 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.840 all the fawning coverage which we went heavy on the 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.960 last couple of days from Vogue and other places, and 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.119 then he goes on to write Democrats should be careful 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.040 whom they crush on. Newsom's record as governor of California 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.000 is a Republican strategist, perfect foil, and he gets into 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.840 the more salient points. But we've talked about this for 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.200 a long time, you know, living in California, he's got 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:58.639 so many like giant targets. It's just, I mean, it's stick. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.800 I can't remember a time somebody was talking about running 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:08.440 for president who had this many giant targets on them. Anyway, 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.320 he goes through them, and you know, just briefly on 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:14.920 a bunch of affordability California is incredibly unaffordable, a dead 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.880 last in affordability. So explain that prices for mid tier 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.960 homes about twice as expensive as the typical US mid 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.080 tier home. Poverty and income inequality sort of thing he 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.760 talks about all the time. Got a ton of poor 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:33.600 in California, tied with Louisiana for the country's highest poverty 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:40.000 rate and inequality. California has one of the highest rates 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.280 of income inequality. Also, so both of those in the 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.959 toilet in the entire country knew some twenty twenty eight 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:51.119 no kidding, homelessness. We all know this one. In this 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:55.600 particular study, California alone accounted for forty four percent of 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.320 all the homeless people in the entire country. There's been 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:04.920 other stats that say it's half whatever. Forty fifty percent 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:10.000 for one state is just absolutely unbelievable, right right, And 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.239 I think it's the magnet is mainly the most thing 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.159 people always talk about the weather. There's lots of places 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:19.120 with nice weather, name full of homeless people. Flight. Maybe 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.280 the best measure of a state's success or failure is 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.080 how people vote with their feet. In California, as we 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.199 all know, we've talked about it a lot is bleeding 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.479 people like crazy housing prices and all kinds of reasons, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.280 highest income tax rate, state income tax rate in the 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.720 entire country, slow job growth, all that different sort of stuff. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.159 So California perversity, Yeah, you got that. California had a 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.879 total net loss of almost one point three million people 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:47.280 who moved to other states, according to the Coastal Moving Services. Unbelievable. 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.000 Oh I like this stat. I hadn't heard this one before. 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.919 Last year, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation found that another 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.400 Californian leaves the state every minute and forty four seconds. 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.040 One minute and forty four seconds, another California leaves the state. Wow, 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:10.359 that's incredible net right. Yeah. Yeah. Education, even though the 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.159 University of California continues to be a jewel of American 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:17.199 higher education, he writes less and less, so maybe by 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.640 the standards of higher education, I don't know. K through 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.800 twelve though not so much. And here's the stat that 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.480 matters a lot to me as a guy raising two 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.040 kids and trying to educate them in the state of California. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:34.040 While the state increased per pupil spending by one hundred 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.639 and two percent since just twenty thirteen, reading comprehension has 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:42.320 remained flat. Matt skills have dropped. I didn't realize we've 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.760 increased spending per pupil one hundred and two percent. You 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:51.520 know what's interesting about kids? Yeah, what's interesting about that 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:57.160 statistic is the very name of the statistic is misleading. 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:03.960 What if I were to describe my expenditures on liquor 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:11.160 and golf as now on a per child, what would 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.840 I say my per child spending, Honey has risen thirty percent, 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.200 And she would be quite legitimate in saying, why are 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.320 you calling it per child spending? That's not where the 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:26.920 spending is going. Per pupil spending, The money gushing at 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:31.520 California schools. Why are you mentioning the pupils. That's going 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.920 to middle management and DEI programs and lobbyists and film 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.560
