1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Jack Katy and he.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Yetty.

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: This trial is seen as the most significant sign of

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Beijing tightening its control of Hong Kong.

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Dozens of pro.

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: Democracy activists facing conspiracy charges under this national security law

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: that was imposed in twenty twenty. All the two of

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: the forty seven lawmakers and politicians who were arrested back

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one were convicted today, and the crime,

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: according to authorities, was holding or taking part in an

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: unofficial primary election.

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: That's a report on NBC right from Hong Kong. She

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: goes on.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: The law was Beijing's response to those protests and Hong

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: Kong in twenty nineteen. The government here saying it was

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: necessary to stop challenges to China's sovereignty. It's now made

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: certain slogans a crime, and expressing ideas about politics is dangerous.

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: Censorship and digital surveillance have also been stepped up.

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: I saw some that's horrifying.

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 4: Hong Kong was a basically a freestanding democracy for a

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: very very long time, and then China took it over

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 4: and has now turned it into it's just another part

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: of China and in the world couldn't do anything about it,

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: and that is their goal for Taiwan also, which they

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: got that big meeting of all the world leaders going

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: down in Rio, and Biden's there, and She's there, and

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of other people.

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Oh did you see what's that guy's name, Malay? Is

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: he the libertarian from Argentina?

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: With the funny hair and all the dogs that he

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: clones and everything like that.

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not really relevant to the discussion, but yes,

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: that's him.

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Did you see him doing the Trump dance?

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I did not funny. Oh that's great, it's funny.

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: But more importantly, but back to seriously. I saw a

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: report she and.

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: Biden had a conversation, and the US version of it

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 4: was they discussed issues. The official Chinese version of it

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 4: was very long and very disturbing about she laying out

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: to U Joe Biden the United States that Taiwan belongs

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: to us and you need to recognize that, and that's happening,

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: so back off, basically is what they said. It and

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of other very very belligerent things that

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: didn't get reported. Really, I need to nail down whether

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: that's true or not, because you can't believe everything you

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 4: come across some social media, but.

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Not from the Chinese communists.

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: But well even well, them saying that would be a

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: big deal, whether she said it to Biden or not.

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: Them putting out that the official message to the United States.

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I guess, but they've said that a number of times.

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: I kind of accept that that's their doctrine.

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: Tell you what go ahead, not as strongly as they

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: stated it yesterday.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: I'll have to dig that up. I mean, I'm find

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: it quite disturbing interesting.

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: So the sentencing of all of those activists and politicians

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: and journalists in Hong Kong, it just reminds me how

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: incredibly fragile a free system is unless it will defend

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: itself by arms. I mean, because Hong Kong was a

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: robust democracy, very wealthy, very educated, with every interest in

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: protecting itself, and it couldn't. It was just it was

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: bullied into submission and quickly. I'm reminded of one of

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: my favorite memes, partly because it's a little snarky, but

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: it's also funny. George Washington didn't use his freedom of

70
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: speech to beat the British. He shot them. That's the

71
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: only way to resist aggression. You can't talk a predator

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: out of predating.

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: I have to look into this after the show as

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: trying to confirm that Chinese stuff that I read and

75
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: figure out if it was.

76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Real or not.

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: This does not get the attention it deserves the rising China.

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: According to the report that I read, and again, whether

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: he said it to Biden or not, whether it's just

80
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: stuff being put out by the Chinese, it was a

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: It was a lot of language like you're not the

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: only nuclear power on Earth and just you know, very

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: very push pushbacky this means war. Oh, you laid out

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: actually laid out four red lines for China that the

85
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: US better not cross.

86
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: That sort of thing.

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see braf from the the perspective of

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: if we were attacked by Martians, we would all come

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: together on Earth. We have been so obsessed with our

90
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: internal divisions. I think that's why most Americans are unaware

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: of the threats from abroad.

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably so.

93
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: Big study that came out today and this was in

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: the New York Times. China has now surpassed Europe as

95
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: the second all time leading polluter on planet Earth. I'm

96
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: not sure how much I care about the historical polluting

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: that's gone on, but the climate change people care about

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: it a lot because we've polluted more throughout the history

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: of the world than any of the country. So we

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: owe more money than anybody else to try to fix

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: the problem, is what they claim. That's only going to

102
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: be true for a few more years. According to this graph, though,

103
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: so China has now passed Europe on this pretty much

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: straight up graph because they just started polluting fairly recently,

105
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: because they were all living in huts and eating.

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: Their cats and stuff like that and not a lot

107
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: of pollution.

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: But now they got all the coal fires and electricity

109
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: and everything going on, they're polluting like crazy. The country

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: has now passed Europe is the second largest all time admitter,

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: shifting the debate about who pays for global warming. According

112
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: to the New York Times, projections show that China may

113
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: catch up with the United States in just a few years.

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: China's soaring emissions are upending climate politics was the story,

115
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 4: let me just read a little bit of it. For

116
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: many years, wealthy places like the United States and Europe

117
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: have had the biggest historical responsibility for global warming. China's

118
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 4: astonishing rise is upending that dynamic. Over the past three decades,

119
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: China has built more than one thousand coal fired power

120
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: plants a thousand as its economy has grown more than

121
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: forty fold in thirty years, mostly because of our help,

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: thinking that if they got rich enough, they be our friends.

123
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: One of the dumbest gambles in the history of the planet. Whoops,

124
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: The country has become by far the largest annual emitter

125
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: of greenhouse gases in the world. So they're emphasizing the historical,

126
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: how about emphasize the today. And on the today chart,

127
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: it's not even close, Like China's way up there, and

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: the United States is way down here with other countries

129
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: underneath us.

130
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Right, So, if you're trying to build some sort of

131
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: framework for who owes the most your Paris climate accord, folks,

132
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I suppose looking at the historical responsibility makes a little

133
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: bit of sense. But for those of us who live

134
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: in the real world, who's doing it now is a

135
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: much more relevant question, I would.

136
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: Say so, And according to this chart, it looks like

137
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: China is polluting it about two and a half times

138
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: what we are on a year by year basis at this.

139
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: Point two and a half times. Yeah, and I'm.

140
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: Supposed to alter my lifestyle and suffer the overall GDP

141
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: consequences for what reason?

142
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: And India is working on it. They'll be on that

143
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: charge before.

144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the actual biggest country on Earth. You go to

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: them and say, hey, can you cut back on your

146
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: fossil fuels a little bit because of the planet. The

147
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: answer is yeah, No, are you kidding? We've got four

148
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: hundred million people starving here and you want us to

149
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: go solar? No. Yeah, I've got to hope that a

150
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: lot of the climate change nonsense is going to be

151
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: swept away during Trump's presidency. And I'm not talking about

152
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: any legitimate claims about the atmosphere or the environment or whatever.

153
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm down with that, it's fine, But again, cut the crap.

154
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: Cut the crap. God ormstrung you, getty dot com, pick

155
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: yourself up. But cut the craft T shirt they're selling

156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: like hotcakes.

157
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: Speaking of trouble spots around the world that we ignore,

158
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: this happened over the weekend. Haven't heard it anywhere. The

159
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 4: Pentagon leaked to Axios that the Huthies are now effectively

160
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: in control over the Red Sea, which is where Remember

161
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: they are telling us the numbers all the time, fifteen

162
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: percent or whatever of all world shipping goes through Houthi

163
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: rebels are brandishing increasingly sophisticated weapons, including missiles that can

164
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: do things that are just amazing, said the Pentagon's chief

165
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: Weapons somebody or other to Axios over the weekend. The

166
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: big picture being that the militant group has for years

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: used drones and missiles to strangle the waters off of Yemen,

168
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: disrupting international shipping. And uh, well, I'll read this quote.

169
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: I'm an engineer and a physicist, and I've been around

170
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: missiles my whole career, said a Pentagon employee to Axios.

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: What I've seen of what the Houthis have done in

172
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: the last six months is something I'm just shocked. So

173
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: the rest of the world has just let this ragtag

174
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: group of camel riders take over a big, major lane

175
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 4: of shipping on planet Earth.

176
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: I believe they have Toyota pickups there. But anyway, Yeah,

177
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: who's they're not building those missiles in Yemen, who's sending

178
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: them to them? And how soon can we get the

179
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Mummy out of office. I mean he is useless plat

180
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: vaticcer again, Michael, that's in his old the vital days.

181
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he isn't that good anymore.

182
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't he hasn't unleashed. I had about a caf

183
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: care with that sort of forcefulness in a year.

184
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: So we've uh, I've got something good from the world

185
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: of Ai. I have a feeling you're going to disagree

186
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: with this journalist's take on how wonderful it was to

187
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: watch Ai comfort their five year old. I find it horrifying.

188
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I've got to get to with the aid

189
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: of the lovely Katie Green. The sixteen year Old Girls

190
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: editorial in the New York Times also.

191
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: Good cool, Yes, got a bunch of good stuff this hour.

192
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: I hope you can stay here. Question for Joe, which

193
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: are you more interested in the Share memoir or the

194
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: Madonna biopic that are both coming out at the same time.

195
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Ah wow, let me bring out my microscope and all up.

196
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: I'll take a look. Oh, try to find my give it.

197
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Damn God, if you like don't read a lot, but

198
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: you read the Share memoir, please read something else, good lord.

199
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: If one Madonna Chaconi of Detroit Michigan were to write

200
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: a serious book about her career and business development and entrepreneurialism,

201
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I would think that'd be a

202
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: pretty good read.

203
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and her understanding of pr and how to

204
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: get attention and stuff.

205
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be interesting.

206
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Have Lady Gaga right the forward or something? Fine? Okay, great?

207
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: Wow?

208
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: The Share Memoir?

209
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: Yes, dah?

210
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, do you are you immortal? Do you have

211
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: unlimited time? That is the only circumstance I can picture

212
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: where somebody would would read the Share Memoir. If I'm

213
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: one if shares offspring, I wouldn't bother.

214
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: If I walked into someone's apartment, then they have that

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 4: on the coffee table. How quickly can I get out

216
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: of their house? That's yeah, there you go?

217
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: See.

00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: Uh wait, you just got here? Yeah bye ah. So

00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I came across this all right, ah yeah, pass. I

220
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: just keep seeing Share in the back of my mind.

221
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: So here's an editorial that actually ran in the New

222
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: York Times. I'm sixteen on November sixth, that's the day

223
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: after the election. The girls cried and the boys played Minecraft.

224
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: And this is by a sixteen year old high school junior.

225
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: Who obviously is connected to somebody in the New York Times.

226
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: Your parents are some big deal. I mean, otherwise, how

Speaker 4: newspaper in the world.

Speaker 1: You know, it's I think it's labeled as a well,

230
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: it's a guest essay. I don't know. Maybe it's in

231
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: a letter to the editor. But in the morning after

232
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: the election, I walked up the staircase of my school. Well,

233
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: a preteen was crying into the shoulders of her brace's

234
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: clad peer. Her friend was rubbing circles on her back. Uh.

235

Speaker 1: First of all, point of order, mister editor, why am

236
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I reading a child's editorial?

237
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: Did you say so? The sixteen year old wrote this?

238
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: But the sixteen year old said a preteen, Yes, So

239
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: a twelve year old's crying over a presidential election.

240
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: You're a weird.

241
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Kid, right, go get a hobby kid. Anyway, Again, at

242
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the point that she says in the headline, I'm sixteen,

243
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: We're done here, We're done. You're a child. No, if

244
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: you want to tell me how things are going at

245
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: your school or something like that, and she is in

246
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: a way, okay, that's fine, because I don't know. But

247
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: the idea that you're going to lay some insight on

248
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: me about the election and the candidates and all. No,

249
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: we've got to who said this? Was it Bill Maher?

250
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

251
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: I think it was Bill Marshall. Jesus it was one

Speaker 3: Oh?

257
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Said, we've got to stop laying the burden on these

258
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: poor children, the idea that they need to solve this stuff,

259
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: or they need to tell us what happened in the election.

260
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: Why would you lay that on a sixteen year old girl? Well,

261
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: how about the poor twelve year old crying in the hall.

262
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: The only way she's crying in the hall is her

263
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: parents and or her teachers sold her a load of crap.

264
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. I continued up the stairs to

265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: the lounge where upperclassmen linger before classes. There I saw

266
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: two tables. One was filled with my girlfriends, many of

267
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: them with hollows under their eyes. There was a blanket

268
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: of despair over the young women in the room. I

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: looked over to the other table of teenage boys and

270
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: saw Minecraft on their computers. Well, we were gasping for breath.

271
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: It seemed they were breathing freely.

272
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I suppose you expect to overwrought from

273
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: a sixteen year old girl, but uh wow, we were

274
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: gasping for breath.

275
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: They were breathing freely.

276
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh geez, Katie, any verbal slappings or shall I plunge on?

277
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: I have so many questions, but yeah, I go plunge on.

278
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Get a get a trash can ready, You're gonna be

279
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: all right. We girls woke up to a country that

280
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse

281
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: than a woman.

282
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Right, that's.

283
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: Exactly you know. In fact, I was going to vote

284
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: for Common until I learned that Trump was held liable.

285
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Then I thought, wait, that's the man for me again.

286
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Thank you child for that incisive political analysis.

287
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: Thank you child.

288
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Where the kind of man my mother instructs me to

289
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: cross the street to avoid will be addressed as mister

00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: president your your mom tells you to across the street

291
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: to avoid fat eighty year olds for the body where

292
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: the body I haven't fully grown into may no longer

293
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me

294
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: just woke up on a Wednesday. What made my skin burn?

295
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: Most normal kids? That makes them normal? You're the crazy one.

296
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Right, what made my skin burn most well, it's probably

297
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: uv rage you sunscreen. Wasn't that over seventy five million

298
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: people voted for Donald Trump. It was that this election

299
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: didn't seem to measurably change anything for the boys around me.

300
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: Whether their parents supported mister Trump or not, many of

301
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: them didn't seem to share our rage, our fear, are despair.

302
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: We don't even share the same future. I'm scared the

303
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Trump administration will take away a restrict birth control and

304
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: Plan B the way they did abortion.

305
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: Why are high schoolers crying about abortion and Plan B?

306
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: Why is that the focus? Oh yeah, or presidential politics?

307
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: As a child. That's really weird.

308
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm sweetheart. Trump didn't take away abortion. He sent a

309
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: terrible ruling back to the States for people to vote on.

310
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: There are more abortions happening now more, my young friend,

311
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,480

316
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 4: eating McDonald's.

317
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: Look at rfk Jr. He's holding that McDonald's the way

318
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: you hold a bag of weed you found in your

319
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: kid's room. I want to explain this.

320
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: That's pretty funny, eh boy.

321
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: So getting back to the sixteen year Old Girls editorial

322
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, and I envisioned this to

323
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: unfold in one piece, but we had to take a break.

324
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: So the one point I want to make is that

325
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: this young girl, who is a very good writer, unusually

326
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: good for a sixteen year old, and is a sixteen

327
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: year old gets the indulgence of youth. She unleashes are

328
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: strongly held opinions, and the grown ups around her ought

329
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: to say, well, that's great, I'm glad you're really into

330
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: this sort of stuff and all, and perhaps a quick

331
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: word about and the longer you live and the more

332
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: you see and do, the more you'll understand some of

333
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: the nuances of this stuff. I get that I spent

334
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of time around teenagers, teenage girls, in particular,

335
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: coaching and mentoring and all sorts of stuff. But and

336
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be little this young woman. The

337
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: point is the people around her have nurtured in her

338
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, what Bill Maher is talking about

339
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: laying on her this mistaken belief that she needs to

340
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: figure this all out and tell the rest of the

341
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: world and then solve it, and two not giving her

342
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: any Oh, I'm sorry, and number two feeding her full

343
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: of the most hyperbolic of the wildly out of control

344
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: political rhetoric of the last ten years without any perspective. Now,

345
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe you're her parents and teachers and mentors believe all

346
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: this stuff because they whipped themselves into the left wing,

347
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: you know, fury, But I don't know so Anyway, she

348
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: writes on.

349
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 4: That's one of your logical fallacies too, that I guess

350
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: have existed through history is the belief that the young,

351
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: or innocent or something like that, when they say something,

352
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 4: it carries more weight, right.

353
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: Because they're pure of heart, and out of the mouths

354
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: of babes comes real wisdom. Yeah, that's once in a while,

355
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: that's true. Mostly they're just kids in aught to just

356
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: go do their homework. Anyway, So she says that she's

357
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: afraid Trump will take away birth control the way they

358
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: did abortion. Again, that's ridiculous. I've seen the ways in

359
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: which many of the boys in my generation can be

360
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: different from their fathers that. Wow, you have no idea

361
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: how their fathers.

362
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: Are now, of course you don't.

363
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: The hashtag me too movement went mainstream when they were

364
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: still wearing Superman pajamas. That's pretty good writing. On Tuesdays

365
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: in health class, they learn about the dangers of inebriated consent.

366
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: They don't pretend to gag when a girl mentions her

367
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: period or a tampon falls out of her backpack. They

368
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: don't find sexist jokes all that funny and don't often

369
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: make them in public. No, they find them really funny,

370
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: but they find you to be a humorless prig, and

371
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: so they don't make them in your presence. You just

372
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it. I've heard they know that's kind of

373
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: distracting and weird. I'm grateful to my school for taking

374
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: gender equality as seriously as it does trigonometry. But most

375
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: of the guys that I saw that Wednesday appeared nonchalant.

376
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: A smiling student shook his friend's hand and said, sarcastically,

377
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: good election. In the same hallway where I saw a

378
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: female teach clutching a damp tissue. Why did it seem

379
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: these boys were so unperturbed? I worried that my guy

380
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: friends might only care about women until it conflicts with other,

381
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: more pressing priorities. That morning, I spoke with the male classmate.

382
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: He asked if I was okay. Nearly melted with relief.

383
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: See I knew not all guys were ignorant.

384
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: O s up, lady, your sixteen year old.

385
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Then, before I responded, he continued why, he wondered, are

386
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: so many girls crying? I stared, I swallowed that familiar lump,

387
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: and I had one thought. I prayed that my older

388
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: brother never asks that question. Oh my god, how could

389
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: my classmates not know why girls in his grade were

390
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: biting their nails and doing breathing exercises in the bathroom.

391
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: It seemed like our future was sliding down the side

392
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: of our faces. And he asked me why we were crying?

393
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 5: Crying?

394
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: I never felt that disconnected for men. I never felt

395
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: more like a girl.

396
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: God, if my kid were doing breathing exercises in the

397
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: bathroom because they were so emotionally upset from a presidential election,

398
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: I'd pull them out of school and get a team

399
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: of therapists going and we go on a camping trip

400
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: or something to try to turn this around. Something's gone

401
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: horribly wrong.

402
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Well here, here's the bottom line. Once again, that is

403
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: on the adults around her. That's on our parents and

404
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: the teachers. You have abused that child, absolutely you have.

405
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: You have psychologically tortured that child. You have terrified her

406
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: into a state of awful emotional upheaval. What is the

407
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: matter with you? Abusers?

408
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: That's one hundred percent true. That's not even just talk

409
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: radio you know, hyperbole. That's one hundred percent true. If

410
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: you're kid, it needs breathing exercises to deal with the

411
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: presidential election. You have abused them by putting all this

412
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 4: fear into them.

413
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: That's just not Yeah. Yeah, the cult of we like

414
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: to be afraid. We're always afraid because it brings us together. Oh,

415
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: hug me because we're afraid. We're both afraid. Let's be

416
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: together because we're afraid that That is an unhealthy attitude.

417
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: What happened to courage? Women are some of the most

418
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: courageous people I know? What happened to courage? Resilience, a

419
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: sense of humor? All of that is dying And to

420
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: just infuse a child with that is abusive. Damn you

421
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: you are evil.

422
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: It really is. There's a name for that.

423
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: I heard somebody bring up the other day, like if

424
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: you have bad parents, you have to be parentified or

425
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: something like that. It's a psychological thing that young people do.

426
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: Like if you figure out that your parents aren't taking

427
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: care of you, you take over that role. It's a

428
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: survival instinct.

429
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: But it's bad for you, right, your parents are drug

430
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: addicts and you end up taking care of your younger,

431
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: younger siblings and that sort of thing in.

432
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: Yourself, and it makes you feel more responsible throughout your

433
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: life for things. Anyway, it sounds like they've done that

434
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: to this girl, like just put her in a position

435
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 4: of being an adult that is not required as a

436
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 4: sixteen year old.

437
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Right, And there's a tendency among certain sick people that

438
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: they really want their children. They want to put their

439
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: fears into their children. They want they're crazy to be

440
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: fully invested in their kid, because then they've got somebody

441
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: else who's crazy like them. I don't know the name

442
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: of it, probably has a name, but anyway, you're just

443
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: this poor kid. This poor kid has been abused.

444
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: Another kid. Thing that is not as it can be

445
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: pretty disturbing depending on I look at it.

446
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: I found this interesting.

447
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: It was I think in thew York times't remember where

448
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: I came across it, journalists writing about their little kid

449
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: playing with chat GPT, and I wonder if this is

450
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 4: going to be the future of parenting for some people.

451
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: Just watched my five year old son chat with chat

452
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 4: GPT advanced voice mode for over forty five minutes. It

453
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 4: started with a question about how cars were made. It

454
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 4: explained it in a way that he could understand. He

455
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: started peppering it with questions, and he told it about

456
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 4: his teacher and that he was learning to count. Chat

457
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: GPT started quizzing him on counting and egging on and

458
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: making it into a game. He was laughing and having

459
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: a blast and obviously never lost patience with him. I

460
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: think this is going to be revolutionary, the essentially free,

461
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: infinitely patient, super genius teacher slash parent that calibrates itself

462
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: perfectly to your kids learning style and pace. I'm excited

463
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: about the future. The slash parent part bothered me.

464
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

465
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: I think is great, it's fine.

466
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what the thing about that.

467
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: It's an interactive book, like a really really good interactive book.

468
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 4: If you look at it that way, it's not as disturbing.

469
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: If you look at it as.

470
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: A substitute for a human that makes us all weird.

471
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 2: That it bothers me.

472
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: If it's a substitute for all human relationship, that's the

473
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 4: feeling it takes on. Yet, if there's no human involved,

474
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: that weirds me. But if you look at it as

475
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: an interactive book, then it's fine.

476
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: Teacher student is a human relationship. I'm just sure. I'm

477
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where exactly I stand on this.

478
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure where I was. That's why I

479
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: brought it.

480
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 4: I thought this might be cool, this might be awful,

481
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 4: this might be the end of society. It might be

482
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: great for kids. I have no idea which Well.

483
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: If the kid who likes to count grows up, puts

484
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: this thing's voice in a sex dollar marries it, and

485
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: then then it's disturbing. If it's just an interactive learning.

486
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: Tool, for instance.

487
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, I've got this. You know, I

488
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: love being alive, and I'm having a lot of fun

489
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: even on my bad days. But I kind of I

490
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: picture like my last day on Earth, looking around and thinking,

491
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: good luck, y'all.

492
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, no country for old men, man.

493
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, although I'd sure like to see how some

494
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: of this plays out, just purely out of curiosity.

495
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that a lot.

496
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: I hope I live long enough to see how this

497
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: out or that turns out, or this turns out, no

498
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: doubt about it.

499
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 2: Huh. Okay, we'll see what happens.

500
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: I think you'll have I think as many kids will

501
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: have this interactive book that's fantastic, there might be more

502
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 4: see that was a five year old, there might be

503
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: more twenty five year olds that have a GPT girlfriend

504
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: rather than a real relationship.

505
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: And and then that, yeah, the other end of it.

506
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: Maybe then there'll be no more humans except in the

507
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: Third world, and they'll overrun the Western world. It's just

508
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: the way things go. Do you want to hear a

509
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: really disturbing note on that topic?

510
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: Who doesn't?

511
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: And this is and this I think is undeniable as

512
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: I look at the Internet, and I'll given, well, assuming

513
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: that there are evil people and will always be evil people,

514
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: the more effective and advanced modes of communication get, the

515
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: more effective of evil doers are in indoctrinating people into evil. Now,

516
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: you would the obvious counter to that as well, What

517
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: about good people helping people understand what is good. Yeah. True.

518
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just that we the reasonable insane if I

519
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: am and sane or insane and sane, And also saying

520
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: denunciation is so important, Jack, we both agree on that

521
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: that we let the educational complex become radical and radicalize

522
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: the students. And the Internet's a big part of that.

523
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: I just I think the more advanced communication gets, the

524
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: more the evil doers will use those advances to indoctrinate,

525
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: Like that little kid who likes to count. I mean

526
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: when he's in high school and and he's now he's

527
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: into physics. Actually will the teachers are involved program? I

528
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: mean that stuff slip them a little intersectionality and a

529
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: little you know, Johnny, do you ever feel like a girl?

530
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 5: You know?

531
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: I just Trump had thirty seven felonies. Let's count to

532
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: thirty seven that sort of thing.

533
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, just it's it goes back to my hole. The

534
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: tree of knowledge is technology, no truth? The Internet or

535
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: AI or something. Yeah, I don't know.

536
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: Rushing made a big announcer the fruit of the tree

537
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: of knowledge, I should say, from the from Genesis, the Carmaker,

538
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: the biblical book.

539
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm done now. I think the band no No, No again.

540
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: The first Book of the Bible.

541
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 4: Jake Paul coming into in the air tonight, get over

542
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: yourself tiring. We will finish strong next time.

543
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: So this just happened.

544
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: Manhattan DA recommends judge hold off sentencing in hush money case.

545
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: So is that code for it's over? It's never gonna happen.

546
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 4: They'll never be a sentencing.

547
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean when would they sentence him after

548
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: he leaves office? And that's a phony case. It was

549
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: about to be kicked out by the appeals court anyway,

550
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: So I think the judge is trying to render it

551
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: moot so he's not outed as a part as an activist.

552
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Ah right.

553
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: Michael Labnati, who was the porn star's lawyer Stormy Daniels,

554
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: called Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen grifters and that this

555
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: case should be dropped.

556
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: Michaelabanati takes one to know one, I guess, yeah. So

557
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: that's that's that's it.

558
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: Maybe the best news out of the whole law fair thing,

559
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: all the cases against Trump is it helped get him elected,

560
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: and both sides recognize that does more harm than good.

561
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: So that won't be the norm going forward. To try

562
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: to bring up some any court cases that you get

563
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: your opponent.

564
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: That way.

565
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love for them to not do it because

566
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 1: it's freaking evil and Unamerican. But I guess if they

567
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: don't do it because it's unsuccessful, well that's the same result.

568
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: It's a little disappointing though, Speaking of Trump, I just

569
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: came across this from the Financial Times, and you know,

570
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: you can't identify a single reason for somebody voting in

571
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: a certain way, because you can't do a controlled experiment

572
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: with a controlled group and a variable whatever. But among

573
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: people who said inflation caused them severe hardship, it was

574
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: seventy six to twenty four Trump. Among people who said, yeah,

575
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: I was a moderate hardship, it was fifty four to

576
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: forty six, which is a landslide intral politics. Among those

577
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: who said no, it's no hardship, do you know anybody,

578
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how rich do you got to be to say, oh, no,

579
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: it's fine.

580
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: I can't you're lying to yourself. You're lying among yeah,

581
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 2: h yourself of your political views. It's got to be it,

582
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean, because it's impossible.

583
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: Right, you are so delusional you think your side can

584
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: do no wrong. I can sit here and tell you

585
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: what Trump did that was inflationary, and what he's talking

586
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: about doing in the future, that's inflationary. Because I'm not

587
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: a delusional cultist anyway. Among folks who said no, it's

588
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: no hardship at all, it was seventy nine to twenty

589
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: one for Harris.

590
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: So everything got thirty percent more expensive and had no

591
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: effect on you. Oh, okay, that's interesting.

592
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: Good to be you.

593
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 5: Really.

594
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I send my maid out to shop here at the

595
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: grocery store on the Hamptons and she hasn't mentioned it

596
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: at all.

597
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: That's weird. Yeah, that's something.

598
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: The same Democrats are coming out and saying, Hey, we're

599
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the party of the faculty lounge. We're like completely out

600
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: of touch with America, and they're right. Good for y' all,

601
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: you're insightful.

602
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: Even if you weren't bothered by inflation, you don't have

603
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: some certain for your kids going out of the world,

604
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: or your friends or the country as a whole, or you've.

605
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: Noticed that there's like no help at your favorite restaurant

606
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: because they can't get anybody because it's too expensive to

607
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: deliver around you anything anything at all.

608
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: Went to several restaurants in Vegas where the wait was

609
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 4: like forty five minutes there were empty tables everywhere.

610
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: They just don't have enough staff to bring in the customers.

611
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: Had plenty of space.

612
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Open up the borders. Oh we already have uh.

613
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 5: F wow, both this respectful and touss.

614
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't it wasn't underwrought. I'll say that. Here's

615
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

616
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: Oh love it. Let's get a final thought from everybody

617
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: on the crew. Kick it off? Which of my clans?

618
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: Low?

619
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Well, I think today's today. I'm gonna go out and

620
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: get my eating pants. Thanksgivings just a week away.

621
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: As you know, these are just jogging shorts where I

622
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: can get all the gravy scenes I want on them

623
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: and I throw them away.

624
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: Yes, get gravy colored expandable pants. Good idea.

625
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: There's a pro tip for you. Yeah, Katie Green or

626

627
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: I have to come up with some dumb art idea

628
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 4: like super glowing an orange to a wall, no kidding,

629
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 4: or something along those lines, no kidding.

630
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: Nail a peach. So many ideas, so many possibilities, Jack

631
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: a final thought for.

632
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: Us, so many records being set by the big boxing

633
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 4: bout from Friday Night. It's the largest gait take that

634
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: there's ever been in a prize fight outside of Vegas.

635
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 4: Sixty million people tuned in. Its just some sort of

636
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: a streaming record.

637
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: It was also the biggest age gap.

638
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: Of any legally sanctioned fight in US history.

639
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: I would hope, so would hope.

640
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: So let's not regularly do that.

641
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: So my final thought is our two of the show

642
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: read a piece from Gerard Baker that was absolutely brilliant.

643
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with a tiny bit of it.

644
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: For a decade or more. Yes, even when Republicans have

645
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: been in charge, we've been led by peddlers of a

646
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: set of ideas that have clothed our institutions and country

647
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: in social and political doctrines, fake claims and strictures that

648
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: an inflicted untold harms. In other words, we've been told

649
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: all sorts of crap is true. It's not true. You

650
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't true, but you're afraid to say so.

651
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: Cut the crap, and we have.
