1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong and

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Jetty and no He Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Jailing.

5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: He scored three touchdowns on Sunday. You did, but the

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: first one was doing what people are calling the toush push.

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that what you call it?

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: It's not what I call it. It's not what you

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: call it's not what I call it. What do you

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: call it?

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna say what I called it?

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: But it's okay.

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: I'll take off too, because when I got there, I'm

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: known as the toush push. But I didn't know if

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: that's what we called But I thought it was called that,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: and it's not called the touchbush.

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Actually, no, what.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Is your role in the in the.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Quote unquote touch push.

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: I think I have the easiest job, to be honest.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: I think I'm the one who pushes the tush.

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: That's partly the running back. I pushed the tush and

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Eagles. I wonder what they do

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: call it. Obviously it's not a good one. It's got

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to be some sort of jam it up there, you know, whatever,

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Some sort of name like that I want. Oh I

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: hope not. Yes, Michael, I was told to brotherly shove.

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 5: The brotherly shove. That's the other nickname for it, because

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 5: it's Philadelphia.

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't think he'd be afraid to say that.

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, that's not what they call Yeah,

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 5: they call it something unerable.

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: They call it, let's say, let's jam it, you know

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: up there. I'll bet it something like that. And I

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: don't appreciate the course language.

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 5: Speaking of which, the next thing we're about to play,

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 5: I think it's worth noting, first of all, this is

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: not the most important part of it.

39
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to that.

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: But the first part of it is Maxine Dexter, who's

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: a Democrat congresswoman from Oregon.

42
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: All the people you're about to hear are Congress people.

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: And she's a.

44
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: Nice like school teacher, sure mom, who decided to run

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: for Congress.

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Nice person.

47
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: I disagree with her politics, but and you can hear

48
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: the discomfort in her voice as she's joining in the

49
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 5: new slogan that's gonna turn America around.

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: I am gonna tell you that we do have to.

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't swear in public very well, but we have

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to Trump.

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 6: Please don't tell my children that I just said that.

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you I'm from Jersey, so it look

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: get a little different.

56
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Problem Donald Trump and Elon So you can chart this

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: over my lifetime quite easily, of the coarseness of our

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: politics and this let us go around. There was the

59
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: F Joe Biden, but politicians weren't saying it. Football crowds

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: were chanting it or whatever, but you didn't have a

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: rally on the steps. Now it's gone from the football

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: crowd to the politicians saying F the President. And I

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: don't really I think we might be at the end

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: of the road unless, like you said earlier, well, right,

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: we're at the lowest common denominator, unless we just moved

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: that final step to taking a crap on the stage

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: and pointing at it, no words necessary. Right, our discourse

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: has got as low as it can possibly get.

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 5: I think they've got to start showing Idiocracy the Great

70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: movie in the Civics class in eighth grade, in the

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: few school districts that have civics classes.

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know what it is.

73
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: If I were to put on my serious political analyst hat,

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: it's a nakedly transparent and frantic effort to gather the

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: troops around some message, any message of defiance and resistance

76
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: to the Trump administration. But try as they might, they're

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: just not finding anything. Howling about Elon Musk being any

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: dollar gark and unelected. In the rest of it. I mean,

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: it's it's okay.

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: For the base.

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: The base is digging it, they're loving it the base,

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 5: but the base is way too small.

83
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I got a point on that to make.

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: But I want to read this text because a last

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: hour we're talking about Elon and Trump in the Oval

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: office yesterday, and Elon was talking about uh, Trump was

87
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: talking about various government programs or where people get paid

88
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: long after their contract has ended and nobody pays any

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: attention and blah blah blah. So we got this text.

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I was receiving dozens and dozens of COVID payments in

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: other people's names at my rural mailbox, and I returned

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: all of them, indicating that the fraudulent nature, and not

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: one person from the government asked me a single question.

94
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: They just send them month after month after month. Wow.

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking if I ever got something like that I'm

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: put in the bank, I might not spend it under

97
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the fear that at some point somebody catches on and

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: comes and says, hey, where's our two hundred and twenty

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars we've over the last ten years, And

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: then I wouldn't have it, but I might put it

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: in the bank. I don't know. I pay a lot

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: of tax, that's that's sure.

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, as long as you knew you could write

104
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 5: them that check when they finally came a calling.

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: If they finally came a calling.

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I don't think there's any issue with that whatsoever.

107
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: And in fact, it could be argued you kept it

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: safe to the political rhetoric. And I will mention for

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: the one millionth time of book nobody has read but me,

110
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: Paris on Fire. It's about the they had a civil

111
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: war in France, particularly in Paris in eighteen seventy in

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy one, that I had never read about or

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: heard about. And it's amazing it got as ugly as

114
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: what Hamas did to the Jews on that day, between

115
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: people that grew up in France, their whole lives lived

116
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: in Paris, or whole lives to each other. I mean

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: that brutal in Paris in eighteen seventy wow, because of

118
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the politics ramping up and ramping up and ramping up

119
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: in what people were saying about each other and claiming

120
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: that they're side could do. And one thing the author said,

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: as once it finally calmed down and they're trying to

122
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: put things back together, and everybody's just gobsmacked by what

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the hell just happened. Buildings are rubble all around Paris,

124
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: the stench of dead bodies everywhere. Everybody knows somebody that

125
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: was raped or mutilated or tortured or whatever in Paris, France,

126
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: which at the time was the most sophisticated city in

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: the world, and the whole world was looking at it

128
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: like what the hell that can happen? And one thing

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the author said that I thought was so interesting and

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: we might see this in our lifetimes. After that political speeches,

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: nobody was paying any attention, like we've heard this before,

132
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: we've heard this, we know where this goes. You getting

133
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: us all riled up and claiming the other side is

134
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: evil in our side's always right. And it took a

135
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: long time before anybody believed politicians again after that happened.

136
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 5: How interesting, That's what I thought. Yeah, the aftermath of it.

137
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: I hadn't even considered that.

138
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, this isn't a game. But I'm sure you

139
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: finally at some point think, oh, oh, this isn't a game.

140
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I understand, and this is where it can go if

141
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: we demonize the other side so much for so long,

142
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and oh oh, your claims of all my dreams will

143
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: come true? Not so much. Yeah, yeah, this has always

144
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: been true of politics. I'm gonna keep this very vague.

145
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 5: I ran into some folks recently who are very very

146
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: modest circumstances in life, and from a place like many

147
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: of us live, that is very very blue, and in

148
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: spite of their complete lack of political sophistication, they held

149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: completely confident contempt for anybody who thought differently than the

150
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: people that surround them. And I, you know, since I've

151
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: been studying this stuff since I was a little kid,

152
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: it doesn't threaten me.

153
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't get angry. I'm just interested in it mostly.

154
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: You know.

155
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 5: Obviously, on an electoral level, when elections are when and

156
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 5: lost in decisions get made, then I care a lot.

157
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 5: But just when I'm interacting with individuals, I'm more curious

158
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: than anything. And it was absolutely clear to me in

159
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: that moment that it was the classic I have to

160
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 5: feel better than someone to feel good about myself phenomenon.

161
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: And the problem with that feeling because we it's I mean,

162
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: that's like a constant and humankind. It explains a lot

163
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: of racism and xenophobia or whatever. But the problem is

164
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: now that politics is omnipresent in our lives. And if

165
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: that feeling is Jack was just describing about, you know,

166
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 5: Paris in the eighteen seventies, if that feeling extends to

167
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 5: politics and then political violence, it ends in horrific bloodshed.

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can all come apart. And and that's why

169
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: for a couple hundred years anyway, we had people speaking

170
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: politicians about each other. I disagree with the good gentleman

171
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: from Missouri, I think the fact friend from Kansas. Yeah,

172
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: the reason they went so far that direction was it

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: can go It can really come apart, and I just

174
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, wow, I'm you know, if you've listened to

175
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: this show for years, you know, I'm more than capable

176
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: of laughing at you know, F this and F that

177
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: and all that sort of low level discourse. But you

178
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: don't want it to all just disintegrate. Yeah, it's a

179
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: step away from I hate you. I hate you, and

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: that's the only discourse that crosses the austs. We're discussing earlier,

181
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: the stuff Elon Musk said, and we'll play some more

182
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: of the audio from his impromptu I guess a press

183
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: conference in the Oval Office yesterday, in which he was

184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: explaining in extremely calm and measured ways, perfectly sensible descriptions

185
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: of the fiscal crisis that we're nearing as a country

186
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: and how we have to rein in spending on the

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: not so great, not so important stuff, or we'll have

188
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: no money for the very very great, extremely important stuff

189
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: and soon. And by the way, just as an aside,

190
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the idea among some people, particularly on particularly on the left,

191
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: that we can just grow our way out of our

192
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: debt problems. It's a very Wolf of Wall Street esque

193
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: view of life. We'll just make more and more and

194
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: more money.

195
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 5: It's okay, how much we're spending on cocaine, hookers and

196
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 5: giant houses and cars, Well, just keep making more money.

197
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 5: It's just, oh my god, it's an idiotic notion. But anyway,

198
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: the fact that he would say what he said in

199
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: such reasonable tones and have some of the heavyweights of

200
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 5: media and society and academia.

201
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: He's a monster in reply to what he said, that's troubling.

202
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's as if he said, puppies are cute,

203
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 5: and good nutrition helps keep you healthy, and gosh, there's

204
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: nothing better than a spring day. And he was screeched

205
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: at as a monster for saying those things, as if

206
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: he were.

207
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Saying I hate poor people and they should suffer, or

208
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: I hate this race or that race.

209
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: That's the way it's being treated, right, Yeah, is there

210
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: getting past this without horrific bloodshed? And it's worth noting

211
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: we had our own civil war, perhaps you've heard of it,

212
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 5: which probably gave birth to a lot of that civility

213
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: in our government for a very long time.

214
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're exactly right. You're exactly right. That is probably

215
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: what led to the let's keep this really really cool

216
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: from here on out right, so that doesn't happen again. Yeah, Well,

217
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: so there you go. I don't expect it to get

218
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: turned around anytime soon.

219
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 5: No, I don't know what would overwhelming success of the

220
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 5: Trump administration would help. Although, man, I'm gonna be a

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 5: little pessimistic here. If you could not get the average

222
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: voter to be aware of our mounting debt crisis and

223
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: vote in ways that would be good to get rid

224
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 5: of it. How are you going to get their praise

225
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: for solving it.

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: We've got a lot more to talk about. There's a

227
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: rush around the country to buy chickens amid the eggs shortage.

228
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: People trying to figure out what equipment do I need

229
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: to have chickens in my backyard or my garage. I

230
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: don't know how many eggs you all eat. I'm not

231
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: going to become a chicken farmer all of a sudden

232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: because eggs are more expensive. I'll just eat fewer eggs,

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: I guess. And now credit where it's due.

234
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: Some notable liberal media let's saying, Hey, the whole keeping

235
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 5: the kids out of school thing during COVID was a disaster,

236
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: and it's way worse than Blue States.

237
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I love hearing that. I hate to love

238
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I love that. I h I'll work on that. Stay tuned.

239
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: So news of the day inflation about three percent in January,

240
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: higher than economists expected. Market drops, blah blah blah. You

241
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: know the story. It's left over from the Biden administration.

242
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: But the next inflation numbers people will blame on Trump

243
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: rightly or wrongly, and I think wrongly that early, but

244
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: you know that's how it will work.

245
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 5: January is huge too, because it's when many, many, many

246
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 5: businesses look at how last year went and say, hey,

247
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: look we got to reprint the menus with higher prices.

248
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: During inflation, there was a lot of talk about, well,

249
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: everything was more expensive when we talked about it all

250
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: the time, but eggs and bacon regularly got mentioned. Eggs

251
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: are particularly expensive. Now you combine inflation with the bird

252
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: flu and destroying so many chickens and all this sort

253
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: of stuff that's going on around the country, and eggs

254
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: are the most expensive they've ever been. I continue to

255
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: wonder how many eggs do you all eat? How vital

256
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: is it to your diet. I don't eat that many eggs,

257
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: and even if I did, if they got more expensive

258
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: than I wanted to pay, I'd switched to something else.

259
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know. It must be very

260
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: important to many of you, because I saw this on

261
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: TV and then I googled it and I came across

262
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: a news story, afternoon story all across the country buying

263
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: chickens to save money on eggs. Fox thirteen Seattle Rising

264
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: egg prices have Sacramento County residents flocking to feed stores

265
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: to buy laying heads, and Orlando hig egg prices lead

266
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: people to start buying chickens, and it's all over the country.

267
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: People are buying, setting up becoming chicken farmers so they

268
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: can provide their own eggs. And it reminds me of

269
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: when gas prices get high and some people will trade

270
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: in a car at a cost of tens of thousands

271
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: of dollars to save an extra ten dollars a week

272
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: briefly while gas is high. And it happens all the time.

273
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: I remember when we were endorsing a car lot once

274
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: he said, oh yeah, gas prices get high, and we

275
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: get people coming in, you know, changing their least costing

276
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: them tons of money to because gases. People don't do

277
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: the math. I'm the same with the chickens. I mean,

278
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: living on the farm, we had chickens laying lots of eggs.

279
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: First of all, you don't need that many chickens because

280
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: you will have more eggs than you know what to

281
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: do with. Before you know.

282
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 5: It, what's the average output per chicken. I'm a city guy.

283
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: I don't know this.

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't counting it. Per chicken heine. But I know

285
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: we had a few hens, and we had I mean

286
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: just was constantly eating eggs, not wanting them to go

287
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: to waste, and just eggs. You know, eggs everywhere, and

288
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: of course.

289
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 5: In California, you couldn't give them to your neighbors except

290
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: under the dark of night to risk being accused of

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: unlicensed chicken good distribution.

292
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Well, the other problem you're going to have is unless

293
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have a dog. But if you have

294
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: your dog, your dog is going to eat your chickens.

295
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't eat your chickens, it's gonna eat

296
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: your eggs. So you have to keep the dog out

297
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: of the henhouse. Somehow it will eat your chickens, it

298
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: will eat your eggs, and you'll have your eggs sucking dog.

299
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: We have a very fat blue healer dog that eats

300
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: so many eggs.

301
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 5: Well, longtime listeners the show, remember when my two Labrador

302
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 5: Retrievers murdered several neighborhood chickens, causing a great deal of

303
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: angst in the hood.

304
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about chickens and dogs,

305
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: but some dogs don't care. They're fine, They'll just walk

306
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Buy a chicken other dogs. It's like their life's gold

307
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: to kill that chicken. And you can't train them out

308
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: of it or nothing. No, and they don't eat it.

309
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: They just kill it. Yeah. Yeah, they just are really

310
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: bothered by the existence of a chicken for some reason.

311
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Although if your dog eats endless eggs, it will have

312
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: a very shiny coat. I have learned that. But I

313
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: gotta believe that building a coop, especially in an urban area,

314
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to build a coop. You can't

315
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: just let them run around the farm like we do.

316
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: You build a coop and you get the feet and

317
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: you buy the chickens. I don't know how ahead you're

318
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna come out on this deal.

319
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 5: Oh, somebody's got to watch them when you go on

320
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 5: vacation or whatever too, which is a pain in the butt.

321
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 5: Although just the very primal nature of the kind of

322
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: the unplugged, not twenty first century nature of tending to

323
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: beasts and raising plants and stuff that really appeals to me.

324
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh, it's awesome. It is a great feeling.

325
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: Even lefty media is saying, yeah, keeping the schools closed

326
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: during COVID was a disaster.

327
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 7: More on that to come Armstrong and getty right, but

328
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 7: show where some of the details that have come out,

329
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 7: like the you know, fifty nine million dollars spent on

330
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 7: luxury hotels, it's actually not.

331
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: About the femal money that was a used for migrants.

332
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: That was, yeah, FEMA money for migrants.

333
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: That's okay.

334
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Now no I'm not saying it. So I'm not saying

335
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: it's okay. Don't put word So would you stop that?

336
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: Would you stop that process?

337
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Don't be a dick?

338
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 5: That's a little Andy Cooper there on CNN telling his

339
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 5: guests Johnson UNU not to.

340
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Be in and I quote Dick uh. Breaking news Fox

341
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: anyway is reporting that Tulsia Gabbard because they're about to

342
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: vote Tulsia Gabbard is on track to be confirmed as

343
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Director of Intelligence. They've talked to senators and counted and

344
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: say it's going to happen. It wouldn't be hard to

345
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: do because you know who the the whole out last

346
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: knows were And if you got enough of those to

347
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: say now I'm gonna go ahead and vote yes, you'd know,

348
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: which reminds me. Came across this from the Dispatch, who

349
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: is really against Tulsa Gabbard being confirmed a lot of

350
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: my favorite thinkers are and I don't think there are

351
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: deep state hacks either. Snowden's leak and this was controversial.

352
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Remember in our hearing the other day, she refused to

353
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: call Snowden a trader. And Snowden's leak cost US critical

354
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: access to a network we'd penetrated, depriving US policy makers

355
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: of potential high value insights into thinking and directives of

356
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: senior Chinese officials. How Snowden's leaks benefited China. We would

357
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: be in, or would have been in until we got caught,

358
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: So the inner thinking of China for quite a while

359
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: if Snowden hadn't revealed that. Yeah. See, I got an

360
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: argument at the bank yesterday about the Patriot Act. I

361
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, Grab Hour one, Armstrong, Getty on Demand.

362
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad stuff in the Patriot Act

363
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: that I'm glad Snowden alerted to about. You didn't need

364
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: to tell the world that we are spying on China,

365
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: you dick.

366
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was classic case of throwing the baby out

367
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: with the bathwater, which is what the expression is all about.

368
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: He just went way, way, way too far, god, I'd say,

369
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: And he didn't have to.

370
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: And it was inexcusable and yes, traitorous. And if you'd

371
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: gone to France or someplace instead of Russia, we might

372
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: have more respect for you.

373
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: There are any number of countries around the world that

374
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 5: don't have extradition treaties with the US. But anyway, Yeah,

375
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 5: so I'm very uneasy with Telsea Gabbert. But we'll have

376
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: to see the Senate Advisors and Consents, and they're about

377
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 5: to apparently.

378
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I lean toward to the idea of the president

379
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: gets to pick who he wants unless they're just like

380
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: a flat out criminal. Well, I'll let him pick who

381
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: he wants and Gore.

382
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: One of my complaints about Trump is that he is

383
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 5: too transactional, that if you are loyal to him and

384
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 5: go to bat for him, he will you to a

385
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: position that you're unqualified for, whether by morals or ability

386
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 5: or whatever.

387
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: Or you know.

388
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 5: Partnering Steve Bannon I think is absolutely absurd, especially because

389
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: Bannon ripped off a bunch of Trump supporters. This fake

390
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 5: private wall building fund scheme ridiculous. Everybody else involved in

391
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 5: it is in prison and should be. So, you know,

392
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 5: having said that, except for that sort of thing, Yeah,

393
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 5: it's his department, it's his cabinet and famously recently, Oh

394
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 5: and it struck me listening to Elon Musk why that

395
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 5: was so novel. It was listening to a guy who

396
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 5: actually has some pretty significant discretionary power in the government,

397
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 5: in the executive branch. Because for the last you know,

398
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 5: a couple of decades, especially, cabinet heads are just ceremonial figureheads. Practically,

399
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 5: they're implementers of what the president tells them to do.

400
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: They do not have the awesome.

401
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: Powers traditionally of that office anymore. So it's just not

402
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: that big a deal.

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: Well, right, that's why to me, if you were going

404
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: to really clamp that, the Senate was going to really

405
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: clamp down, will decide who your cabinet member is going

406
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: to be, Well, you just pick somebody that passes the

407
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: Senate and you'd get your advice from somebody else. Nobody

408
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: can stop you from getting advice from someone. Right.

409
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: Sure, So, speaking of policy, and this is so incredibly important,

410
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: Jack is afraid it will vanish into the dustbin of history.

411
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: And I think he's probably right.

412
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: But now, even for instance, the New York Times is

413
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: admitting keeping the schools closed was a horrific idea and

414
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 5: utterly unnecessary.

415
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: I called it a disaster before.

416
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 5: No Mount Krakatoa covering your village in Lava is a disaster.

417
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 5: This was a crime, a partisan political crime, and the

418
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 5: victims were children in society as a whole.

419
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: And one of the worst things our government has ever done.

420
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: Yes, I would agree absolutely. It was like the internment

421
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 5: of the Japanese or whatever. You could even make a

422
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: case for that. The scientific case for keeping the little

423
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 5: kids out of school was null and void within a

424
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: few months of the beginning of COVID. Anyway, New York

425
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 5: Times writing us, yeah, paying the price. School Children in Massachusetts, Ohio,

426
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: and Pennsylvania are still about a half year behind typical

427
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: pre COVID reading levels. In Florida and Michigan, the gap

428
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 5: is about three quarters of a year. In Maine, Oregon

429
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 5: and Vermont, for instance, it's close to a full year.

430
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: This morning, Group academic researchers released their latest report card

431
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: on pandemic learning loss and it shows a disappointingly slow

432
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 5: recovery in almost every state.

433
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: And maybe closures, yes, and maybe you're going to get

434
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: into this or they get into this, but that's just

435
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: measuring the learning without measuring the disruption to classes. We've

436
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: heard from lots of teachers of kids are different now.

437
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: They missed a couple of years of having to sit

438
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: there and pay attention and get homework done, and they

439
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: just they're not You can't get them back in the groove.

440
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: They don't really get into that.

441
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 5: And I'm really glad you brought that up, because the

442
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: socio psychological damage to kids. Hell, that might make the

443
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 5: reading scores look like you know, I think school closures

444
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: during COVID set children back in most districts have not

445
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: been able to make up the lost ground, obviously, partly

446
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 5: because kids, when they're that young, they absorb information in

447
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 5: a way that I envy with every fiber of me.

448
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: And you can't just have them not do that for

449
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 5: a while and say, all right now we're going to

450
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 5: do it even more than usual.

451
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: It's not the way kids work. Yeah, does everybody not

452
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: know that or whatever? But anyway, up until about age eight,

453
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: your brain runs about a thousand times faster it does

454
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: after that. You take a kid out of school for

455
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: two years before age eight, Oh my god, you've done

456
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: damage to them. Yes, that's a horrifying Yeah.

457
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 5: So and here we get into a couple of the

458
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: more interesting specific aspects of this other a reason for

459
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 5: the lack of, you know, catching up progress is school absences.

460
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 5: The huge rise has continued long after COVID, says Thomas Kane,

461
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: Harvard Economists, member of the research team that we're going

462
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 5: to talk about a little. It said, the pandemic may

463
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: have been the earthquake, but heightened absenteeism is that tsunami.

464
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: And it's still rolling through school right that part, not

465
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: just not showing up to school, is still a problem.

466
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: And as I've said many times, when the New York

467
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: Times isn't being just unforgivably idiotically biased, they actually do

468
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 5: some pretty good deep dive reporting and they look into

469
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: the state variations. According to a new report from scholars

470
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 5: at your big name universities comparing performances across states, I.

471
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: Hope you're not going to tell me that blue cities

472
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: and states even got poorer performance than red I hope

473
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have it.

474
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 5: I'm going to need you to sit down. I need

475
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 5: you to brace yourself. Michael Jack's about to need a

476
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 5: big hug, all right.

477
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: Let me know how he.

478
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 5: Loves that from other males. So today's report shares a

479
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: wide variety of outcomes. In the states that have made

480
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: up the most ground, they're getting close to how they

481
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 5: were doing five years ago, but the overall.

482
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Picture is not good.

483
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 5: And I will skip some of the spatistic specific stats

484
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 5: and get to what they call the Blue Red divide.

485
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 5: Political leaders in red and blue America made different decisions

486
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: during the pandemic. Gavin Newsom, I'm looking at you, you

487
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 5: lying monster, James Prisker, child grooming scumback.

488
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: Because rage reads disdeath santus and people like that wanted

489
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: kids to die for some reason. They enjoy stacks of

490
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: dead children at their skulls, right exactly.

491
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 5: Many schools in heavily democratic area stayed closed for almost

492
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 5: a year from the spring of twenty twenty to the

493
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 5: spring of twenty twenty one, or longer.

494
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: It was longer than that around here, or kel Unicornia. Yeah.

495
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 5: In some Republican areas, by contrast, schools remain closed only

496
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 5: for the spring of twenty twenty and opened right up.

497
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 5: And this helps explain a partisan gap in learning loss.

498
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: How you get in the specific status. I can't believe

499
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: this wasn't more fairly reported on or discussed or whatever.

500
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: I use this example all the time because I got

501
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: it in my own life. I got two schools seven

502
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: miles apart, the public school and the private school. My

503
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: son's now in. The private school barely shut down at all.

504
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: The public school was closed for like two years. And

505
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: there were not I was joking. There were not stacks

506
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: of dead children everywhere, nor teachers. No, nor teachers. The

507
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: private school was fine. Now, how do you explain that

508
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: teachers union public schools. How do you explain that that

509
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: school's open over there, and it's not like they got

510
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: tons extra money for some sort of special ventilation or

511
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: something like that. What a joke.

512
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 5: Randy Weingarten, the head of the big teachers Union, who

513
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 5: is a demon from hell sent to punish us for

514
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 5: our sins, used it like other unions did, as leverage.

515
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 5: You want the kids back in. I can tell you

516
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 5: really really want the kids back in. You got to

517
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 5: give us more money. You got to give us more

518
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 5: of this, You got to give us more of that. No,

519
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 5: and the kids stay home.

520
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: I fully believe she was doing that and knew that,

521
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: And I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night.

522
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't because she has no concerence. Monster, You are

523
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: a monster. You certainly don't care about children. I mean,

524
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: you're beyond not caring about them. You're fine with them

525
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: having awful lives if you can have more power. You're

526
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: a disgusting human being.

527
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 5: But you know what she's like, yah Ya Sinlar of

528
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 5: Hamas she cares in children insomuch as they are leverage,

529
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: just like Sinwar and Jimaski's about Palestinian citizens.

530
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: I put it to their deaths are leverage. Yeah, I

531
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: put her in that category, but I know plenty of

532
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: teachers that that's not what their angle was. They believed

533
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: the whole it was too dangerous to have schools open

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: thing for summer.

535
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, because Trump said it was good to open them.

536
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: The left went crazy explaining how incredibly unwise that would be.

537
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 5: There's so many things I want to talk about and

538
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 5: information I have in front of me, but I'm going

539
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: to narrow it down for the interest of time and

540
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 5: if there needed to be more horrifying irony for the

541
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 5: political left. All kids were hurt pretty badly. Poor kids

542
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 5: were just deamated, and there bounce back time even worse.

543
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: Sure, we talked about that during the time this is

544
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: the least progressive thing you could possibly do, because guess what,

545
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: I hired a tutor for my kid. If you can't

546
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you're in worse shape. So you're standing

547
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: up for the down drodden, are you?

548
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: You know?

549
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 5: The last thing I want to squeeze in, and I

550
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 5: wish we had a little more time. Maybe we can

551
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: do it after the break. But we got a great

552
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 5: note from a teacher who pointed out a handful of things.

553
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 5: He said, First of all, he agrees there isn't one

554
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: single cause, and he agrees with many many of the

555
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: things we've said about education. But he also wants to

556
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 5: point out that the nature of the tests has changed

557
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 5: a good deal. So to compare scores from like the

558
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: seventies and eighties to today is not apples to apples,

559
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: So it's misleading in its own way. I found it

560
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 5: really interesting, and again, maybe we can get into it

561
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: in detail.

562
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know our four.

563
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 5: But he also says that being said, test scores are

564
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: bad and the following has made this situation worse. Increase

565
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: in second language students, increase in chaotic homes, the rise

566
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: in technological distractions, a decrease in attention spans, children read

567
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 5: less on their own, increased absenteeism, culture changes, and yes,

568
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 5: Joe woke ass up with trans diversity, this, that and

569
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: the other thing taking time and attention.

570
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: And also well, I don't want to go down this

571
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: road some other day about spending on schools then versus now.

572
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 5: Oh, and the one hundred and twenty seven or three

573
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 5: hundred percent increase in administration was opposed to students.

574
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: Like one example, every school when I was a kid

575
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: used to have these band uniforms that had to be

576
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: incredibly expensive. Schools can't do that now. There's just no

577
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: money for that. Where art they have music classes at all.

578
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: If you have music classes or art classes at all,

579
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: And we had those, and we had plenty of art

580
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: supplies and bank uniforms and all this different sort of stuff,

581
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: And then you got the whole every girl's straight a

582
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: student thing that goes on now that didn't use the harpanslation. Yeah.

583
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 5: Anyway, Dave signs off from Swine's teat Nevada.

584
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: I have traveled the highways and.

585
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 5: Byways of the fair state of Nevada, Dave, and I

586
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: have not found myself yet in the charming burg of

587
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: Swine's teeth.

588
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: But I hope and you hope to see it and

589
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: its citizens sometimes in suburb of Elco.

590
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 5: Okay or Eli beautiful Lily Eely is beautiful this time

591
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: of year.

592
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, that story gets me so worked up

593
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: and so mad because I had kids, I mean right

594
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: in the thick of it during the whole thing. Oh.

595
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: I know, I'll be resentful about that the rest of

596
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: my life. Derangement syndrome, no doubt. Chelsea Gabbard, have the

597
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: votes come in? News Nation says they're in and she's confirmed.

598
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Nobody else is reporting that, but they will be voting

599
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: soon and won't let you know. Stay here.

600
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 8: Lakers gave out nineteen thousand, number seventy seven T shirts

601
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 8: to celebrate the arrival of Luke Dauncic. You could see

602
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 8: the chemistry between Luca and Lebron right off the bat.

603
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: Luca got a huge La.

604
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 8: Welcome in front of a sold out crowd.

605
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: It was a big night.

606
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 8: Nobody knows why the Mavericks made this trade. One of

607
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 8: the storylines is that it was because of his weight.

608
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 8: Mavericks had concerned about his conditioning, whereas the fans in

609
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 8: Dallas do not.

610
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: Right, thank you, I guess have you turning on the TV.

611
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 8: See a bunch of people chanting he's not fat. The

612
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 8: first thing you think is I must be fat, I guess,

613
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 8: but don't worry.

614
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: This is LA.

615
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 8: We do not allow fat here. We will get some

616
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 8: ozepic into your gatorade. You will fit in.

617
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: Look what we did to John Goodman, we can do

618
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: that to you.

619
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's funny.

620
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 5: Break Kimmel isn't being obnoxious, he's hilarious bringing.

621
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: Back he's not fat. That's one of the strangest high

622
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: level trades that I can remember in pro sports history.

623
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: Right, given this brock for what's his name back in

624
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 5: the sixties.

625
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: But completely a surprise to the players. Yeah what now? Anyway,

626
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: the breaking news, Tulsea Gobert has been confirmed. She is

627
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: your Director of National Intelligence and has been confirmed fifty

628
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: to forty eight, with only Mitch McConnell joining the Democrats

629
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: in opposition. So there you go, party line vote plus

630
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. Just have to see that how it goes.

631
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 5: So if I ever leave the show, which is unlikely,

632
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: I sure hope the folks will rally outside the radio

633
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 5: ranch and chant to bring him back. He's not fat.

634
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: On my behalf, because that would be an honor Katie Green.

635
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 5: What what should we know about what we're about to play?

636
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 9: So I was scrolling through TikTok and this popped up

637
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 9: on my for you page, and the visual of this,

638
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 9: it's a woman filming it. Her husband is driving and

639
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 9: he has headphones in and she's clearly talking at him,

640
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 9: but he cannot hear her.

641
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 10: And this is how it goes down.

642
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 6: I thinks I talk too much. I can't get a

643
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: word in edge wise when I'm talking.

00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 9: he's sitting there. He doesn't hear a thing she's saying
