WEBVTT - Plagiarism & Munitions 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:07.360 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:11.400 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:18.480 Armstrong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.880 For the first time, Iran is getting specific about what's 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.520 in a deal to reopen the Straight of Four Moves. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.760 Almost all the topics are under discussion, the map, the 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.879 transit routes, the entering and exiting of maritime traffic. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.480 This progress is on the verge of being finalized. 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.599 So I think this is the first time that Trump, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.280 Iran and axios are all saying there is a deal 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.200 to open the street today. That's what they're all saying today. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.920 Here is the Associated Press version of the story. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:55.240 Today. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.640 Iran said it is in the final stage today of 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:03.400 drafting and agreement with a man oh Man over the 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.640 Straight of Horror Moves and that Donald Trump has said 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.760 a deal could be announced today also which could potentially 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.160 reopen the critical waterway and would that put an end 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:12.520 of the war. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:13.160 Who knows. 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.120 The agreement is likely to be contingent on the US 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:21.000 lifting its blockade of Iran's ports. Trump has previously ruled 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.520 out any deal that would cement Iran's grip over the Strait, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.360 which of course would amount to a major loss for 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.640 the United States and a break with global norms. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.240 Because all States. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.720 Straits around the world have been open since the end 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.560 of World War II to maritime traffic, this would be 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.919 the first time that that hasn't happened in eighty years. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.480 Iran has insisted. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.360 On some measure of control over the Strait, saying it 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.680 will not go back to being an open international waterway 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.200 as it was before the war. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:50.880 Now I'm no. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:57.320 Geopolitical genius, but to have both sides saying it's going 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.920 to be open today and Trump say, by the way, 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.040 no tolls on the street, and Ran saying it'll never 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.800 be opened again and Free. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.920 Seems to me to blow up the deal before it 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:07.520 even starts. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.240 I was just gonna ask you one hundred dollars, will 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.840 a significant number of ships pass through the strait today 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.519 or tomorrow? Well. Mark Alprin's analysis in his newsletter today was, 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.080 if you think there's a deal that will happen and 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.680 hold for more than a week, than I've got some. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:29.080 Saudi sheep I'd like to sell you. That's an odd joke. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:36.800 I don't know anything about the whole uh, complicated, opaque 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.960 world of Saudi sheep, but it must be something. I 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.799 think I'm missing the joke anyway. I don't think they 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.679 have a lot of grazing land in Saudi Arabia. Maybe 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.280 that's the key, not a lot of livestyle. Maybe maybe 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.079 that is the joke. Yeah, sure, yeah, Anyway, I came 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.440 across some learned analysis by a trio of alleged experts 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.840 who made clear something that I've been telling you for 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:02.440 a while. But the Iron wants the big deterrent, and 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.320 for the longest time it was the bomb. They wanted 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.000 a nuclear bomb so nobody could mess with them and 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.520 interfere with their plans to take over the globe in 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.920 the name of radical Islam or threaten their supremacy in 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.440 their country, partly for ideological reasons and partly because they're 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.200 all getting crazy, crazy rich, so they want a deterrent. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.480 They've been set back over and over and over again 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.280 in their nuclear ambitions, and they realize that we're going 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.680 to keep trying on that. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:30.320 But it's shaky. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:35.000 But look what we've figured out closing the straits. That's 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.840 our deterrence, especially working with the Hooti's over there on 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.840 the other side of Saudi, we can close the straits. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.360 That's anybody messes with us, will threaten them with that. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.520 That's our new deterrent. 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.760 And they are one hundred percent, not ninety eight percent, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.840 one hundred percent determined to keep that power somehow or other. 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:00.600 So you gotta look at this through that lens. I think, well, 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.520 go ahead. I think Trump's willing to let the straight 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.880 open up with a toll. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.360 Yes he is. I agree to get out of the war. Yeah. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:15.960 Interestingly, though, as this back and forth practically non existent 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.200 negotiation goes on, the world is getting better and better 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:21.359 at bypassing. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.720 The strengths we're talking could be moved. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.360 So the longer they they play the tough guy and 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.320 they're smart and calculating, they're evil as hell. That doesn't 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:36.480 mean they're dumb. They probably realize that in or on 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.680 and so they think, oh, man, okay, now let's get 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.000 the best deal we can before our leverage is undermined 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.760 by our very intransigence. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.280 Where this goes who knows. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.760 So similar topic there are There are a number of 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.159 burbling problems in the world right now. There always are 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.800 burbling problems that could blow up into like the sort 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.040 of thing everybody's talking about on the on the planet 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.159 practically at any moment. AI is one of them. Of 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.440 y'all think climate changes, I don't this. This could be 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.320 one that the United ELR parka buy some shorts that 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:11.839 the United States, which is really the guaranteur of the 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.720 free world's freedom, is out of munitions to fight a 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.279 real war. Could turn into be in like a really 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.520 really big story, depending on how true it is and 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.239 how it turns out. Washington Post version of Day mentioned 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.200 this an hour one. President Donald Trump's frustration over the 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.240 Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.880 he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Heggsath on why 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.200 he had apparently been misled on extreme munition shortages that 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.719 now threaten to limit military options with Iran. Two people 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.640 familiar with the exchange told the Washington Post, now, this 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.440 is the WAPO, and they have lied about things in 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.719 the not too distant past or made things up. The 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.520 White House says this is not true. This is one 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.520 hundred percent fake news. Literally never happened, and President Trump 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.719 has the utmost confidence in Secretary Heggzath said that Carolyn 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.520 lev It in response to questions to the Post. But 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.920 there are lots of There are lots of reports out 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.600 there from various places on where our stockpiles are, for instance, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.719 the re Reuter's report that got so much attention a 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.880 couple of weeks ago. The US has used more than 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.080 thirteen hundred of the Army's tactical ballistic missiles in the 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.640 initial weeks of fighting, one US official told The Washington Post, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.720 confirming the Router's story. The attack on stockpile a short 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.800 range missile missile also in demand by Ukraine, which one 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.359 of the reasons they're getting pounded now, is drained to 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.400 the extent that there's basically none left, said one person 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:47.520 familiar verifying the Router's report, basically none left. The lack 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.440 of interceptor missiles is also altering how the US decides 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.479 whether to employ munitions against an incoming threat, based on 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.840 where it's assessed to be heading and whether or not 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.320 it is a factor. So if somebody shoots something at us, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.800 we don't just automatically shoot it down. Now, we think, well, 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.720 where's it headed. How much damage is it gonna do 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.480 if we just let it go through? Because we have 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.080 such a limited amount, One US official told the Washington Post, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.720 which is a change in tactics first reported by NBC News, 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.200 And there's just a bunch of stories out there like that. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.080 It's probably worth pointing out at this point that it 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.360 was as recently as the nineteen eighties that Ronald Reagan 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:31.080 was mocked and laughed at for even considering a missile 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.400 defense system by the mainstream media that we're all supposed 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:40.200 to respect so much, And at my point being the 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.040 idea of missile defense of any sort is very very 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.800 new in warfare, and like super effective patriots and attack 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.080 ems and the what's the other one, the thads that 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.400 we have right now are like crazy new in the 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.760 history of warfare. And it's interesting to me that people 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.360 are saying, oh, we can't duel war, we can't do 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.320 a war because we don't have enough of these things, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.960 when it never existed before. And I understand we don't 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.040 want to. I'm not being casual about spending lives, but 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.000 we just got this tool. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.360 What do you mean we can't do a war. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.520 So the analysis in Mark Alprin's newsletter today is the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.760 munition shortages are a real danger to the United States 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.600 and will not and cannot be fixed easily or quickly. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.280 I don't understand that, and I have no I don't 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.359 know nothing about nothing. But I just don't understand how 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.760 this is how much war we can fight before we 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.520 run down to a dangerously low level. Was this are 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.760 we were we prepared to take on China or Russia 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.679 or whoever the hell or a two front war? This 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.520 has been discussed on real life or all kinds of 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.120 different things. Sure doesn't look like it if a minor 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.760 war with a ran put us in this position. According 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.120 to the Washington Post, the shortage is particularly in long 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.080 range guided missiles and air defense intersect were part of 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.160 the reason Trump pulled back from launching additional massive strikes 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.480 in recent days. He said as recently as like an 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.240 hour ago, because he was asked about this, that that 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.680 is not it. We got plenty of stuff that has 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.200 had nothing to do with it. Of Course, you'd say that, 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.400 what is the president of the United States going to say, yep, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.760 you're right, I was going to launch an attack, but frankly, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.960 we just don't have the firepower. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.600 Of course he's not going to say that. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.120 And of course, after a multi generation period of peace 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.560 and prosperity, your military manufacturing base is going to be 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.480 a peace and prosperity military manufacturing base. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:33.240 Yeah. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.800 A recent truth social post from Trump said, we have 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.040 a massive amounts of munitions. Large amounts are being manufactured 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.520 and shipped to the US as needed. The leakers of 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.160 these treason his statements are being hunted down. And if 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.920 they are trees and his statements, whether accurate or not. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.480 First of all, why in the hell is somebody leaking 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:57.640 to our enemy at wartime? How many of various weapons 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.880 systems do we have? What they should be hunted down? 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.960 They should be hunted down. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:01.520 Yeah. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.319 And then especially if you're like, if you're doing it too, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.600 like you suggested perhaps the last hour that the JD 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.360 vance crowd that doesn't like this war might be leaking 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:11.960 this stuff, it's possible. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.920 Yeah, I think it's very possible. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.559 Is that's kind of an ugly thing though, That's a 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.360 pretty damn ugly thing. And the ugliest thing is if 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:25.320 if we did actually call off the major strike against Iran, 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.640 because when it came down to pulling the trigger, Trump 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.400 found out we don't have the stuff necessary to engage 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.040 Iran like this. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.720 That is highly troubling. Yeah. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.360 Yeah, And this is one of those things that Trump 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:41.600 does right. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.520 I think he is absolutely. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:54.160 Incorrigible and terrible at some things and absolutely invaluable at others. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:59.600 And I think he will reinvigorate the defense industrial base 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.000 in a way that others would not. Certainly the Left 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.880 would never ever do, because they get votes by handing 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.120 out your money and they can't spare it for defending 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:10.760 the country. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.240 I think Trump. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.640 Could really really push us forward toward a much more 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:19.439 realistic stance given the challenges military challenges of today's world. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.480 I hope he does. I hope that's a high priority. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.400 I'm looking up at cable News. Two of the channels 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.360 are talking about this very topic. I hope it gets 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.079 enough attention that we crank up the arsenal of democracy 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.480 again to where we got plenty of stuff, and everybody 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.960 in the world knows we got plenty of stuff. I 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.839 remember the stories that came out a few months ago 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.040 about Britain. Britain couldn't even push ships at sea. It's 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:43.120 it's military is so uh what's the what's the term? 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.840 You don't use it. It becomes some well, it's atrophied. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.840 There are military is so atrophied and so a like 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.440 it's like a Hollywood set. It's got the front of 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.760 a military but it doesn't have the parts. It doesn't 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:02.080 have the maintenance, it has no manufacturing. It's a theatrical Uh, 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:02.840 you know it's. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:04.640 Fake. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.800 We are nowhere near that bad, but we're not in 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:11.720 fighting shape. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.880 Nuff said. I think so. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.880 Joe and I are both gen X. A lot of 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.680 you probably are too. Gen X is the most economically 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:26.240 pessimistic generation, maybe of all time, according to a new study. Interesting, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.400 you know what it is, the hippies. The hippies spent 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.800 us into oblivion. The damned Hippie's gonna take this opportunity 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.000 to complain about hippies at some point, Get a haircut, hippie. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:36.680 That's what I say. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:42.080 Among other things on the waist, yes, including the scandal 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.360 that's rocking academia. It is the perfect example of how 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:52.439 insidious DEI is for everyone, especially black folks. I've only 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.120 seen the headlines on this, but it looks really juicy. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.040 I can't wait to hear it.

So 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.120 this story is gross, but it's true, and it's interesting. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.160 I'm concerned because I work with people who are easily 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:55.800 baited into lowbrow humor. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.520 But wow, wow, how unfortunate for you. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.560 Anyway, So I'm downtown, my little burg in California, where 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:14.040 California decriminalized crime and all kinds of behavior, and so 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.880 there's all kinds of gross and you know, everything's locked 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.600 up in every store because they don't prosecute you for stealing. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.360 So if you want deodorant at the CBS, you have 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.040 to have somebody bring a key. We've talked about that 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.520 street people, various places, that. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.000 Sort of thing. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:35.080 So I'm walking down the sidewalk and I'm actually walking 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.880 to a place to get a slice of pizza, which 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:37.360 this did. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.240 Not help my appetite. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.720 I'm walking to a place to get a slice of 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.840 pizza last night after dropping my son off and his 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:42.920 friends off downtown. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.240 And there's the fact. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.000 That you have a pizza by the Slice place College 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.120 Town makes me so jealous. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.040 I love the pizza by this oh yes. 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.800 Although again America Baby, it was not as appetizing after this. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.120 So I'm walking down the sidewalk and there are a 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.560 handful of firefighters standing on the sidewalk, and there's a 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.360 fire truck, like the small one like the fire chief, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.400 red pickup truck, parked in front of this coffee shop. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.400 And I thought, because we've ridden with the fire department before, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.640 I thought some had a heart attack or choked or 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.160 something like that, you know, any sort of health problem. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:18.920 The people that show up are the fire department, right 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:19.400 off the bed. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.720 And then but I'm getting closer, and I'm walking down 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.760 and side watch a step, no look out And I 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:30.280 looked down and uh, oh boy. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.560 Had they been eating too much taco bell lettuce? Or 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:34.480 it was used food? 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.880 I mean it was the it was the byproduct of 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.640 a human after they have taken all the nutrients out 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.520 of their meal. I see and uh and passed it 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.640 apparently onto the sidewalk right there, like right downtown in 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.120 front of all the stores, big pile on the pizza 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.200 full size, oh. 0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:01.400 Lord, Chipotle burrito size pile right there, boy oh gollant. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:02.760 And the firefighter was doing this. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.800 What I found thought was interesting about it is they're 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.000 like four firefighters when. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:08.360 I walked up. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.200 By the end of it, there were maybe eight, and 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.640 then the full fire truck, like the full ladder truck. 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.200 So you had the full giant half block long ladder truck, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.000 the pickup truck, maybe eight to ten firefighters standing a 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.400 unadder truck. What in case the guy pooped in a 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.200 tree as well? What's going on here? Standing around looking 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.320 at this pile of poo and what? I got a 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.000 kick out of it. This is what I did because 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.640 I just thought this was fantastic in an awful sort 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.440 of way. I stood because everybody's walking by. Nothing draws 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.320 a crowd. Like a crowd, everybody's wondering what that's going 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.480 on around. I stood on the corner. I said, I'll 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.400 bet you wonder what's going on. I did this for 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.360 like a half an hour. You know what's going on 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:45.680 over here? Yep? 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.480 Somebody pooped on the sidewalk right over there. That's pretty cool. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.520 And everybody's like, oh my god. I said, yep, yep, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:52.400 human pooh. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.680 Right there, all these firefighters, fire trucks, everything like that 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.000 human pooh because right there on the sidewalk. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.440 But I told fifty people this story. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.960 I just decided to be the town barker for what 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.520 was happening there on the corner. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.040 The fire department. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.800 I know, I guess, because you're worried about hepatitis or something. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.480 Eventually a bunch of people showed up with chemicals and 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.040 squirt models and. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.720 It was quite the Golden State in g. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.320 Armstrong and Geddy. We'll get into it an hour three. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.399 This LSI ed guy up in Michigan. He's going to 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.640 be a problem because he's got he's got the Trump thing, 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.840 he's got the Obama thing, he's got the Clinton thing. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.400 He is good. He just some people have that and 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.040 he's got it. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.320 Do not underestimate the guy. He is formidable. I agree completely. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:50.240 So I, Joe Geddy hate DEI for a number of reasons. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:56.360 It's racist, it's born of neo Marxism. Read cynical theories 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.199 by the great James Lindsay and Helm Pluckrowse, and it 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.000 casts a bad light on the achievement of impressive black people. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.320 And I want black scholars and doctors and attorneys and 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.040 thinkers and writers to get the full credit for their genius. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:13.640 And I want black kids to. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.280 Grow up in the line of opportunity with dreams of greatness. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.760 That's what I want. That's why a hate DEI to wit. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.800 And this is out of England, where they're even more 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.560 screwed up than we are. But Jason our day was 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.520 the toast of academia and really the progressive world. In 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.880 twenty twenty three, became the youngest black professor ever appointed 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:41.600 by the University of Cambridge and was absolutely lionized in 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.359 the British media for his remarkable backstory and account of 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.400 his achievements. Raised in South London family of Ghanian origin, 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.359 he says he was diagnosed with autism as a child. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.119 He couldn't speak until he was eleven Wow, then overcame 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.680 illiteray in his teens before becoming a sociology professor. When 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.480 at the age of thirty seventy is appointed as a 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.920 professor at the University Cambridge, the prestigious institution said that 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.280 that would help quote address under representation of people from 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:16.560 socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Uh oh, Well, turns out not only 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.440 is the guy a plagiarist in the you know, the 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:25.399 Claudine Gay model, he plagediarizes like crazy all of his 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:32.720 so called giant work. Interestingly, and you've heard me say 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.720 this before, it's weird to accuse people in the grievance 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.440 studies field of plagiarism because their field isn't about science. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.960 It's about repeating the party line, saying the right things, 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.199 the right phrases, the right words, pledging your fealty to 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.159 that cult. And so of course you're going to plagiar eyes. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.480 It's like asking me, you know, when you're walking through 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:02.040 the Valley of the Shadow of Fear and thinking about God. 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.720 How does God's presence make you feel? 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:09.679 Well? I may say something about, well, I have no fear. Well, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.520 you accuse me of plagiarizing the First Amendment the New Testament, 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.359 which I would be because there's. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.000 No nobody's asking. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.159 For original thought anyway. Putting that aside, Yeah, he plagiarizes 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.840 like crazy. Plus he made all sorts of wild claims 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.040 that they just accepted at face value. That he raised 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:36.040 almost seven million dollars for charity. He once ran six 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.520 hundred miles in six days, completing the challenge with airline 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.360 fracture in his leg. Well wait a second, where did 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.199 this whole running feat thing come from out of the 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.800 academic world? So well, because one was such an amazing, 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.480 beautiful human being that Yeah, so he's one of those people. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.960 He's like Joe Biden. He just did all manners of 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.680 different amazing things have happened. Yeah, he's a fabulous as 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.159 they say. Uh, turns out there's no proof that. And 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.600 he had another one that he claimed he ran thirty 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:08.520 marris thirty marathons in thirty five days and again raised 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:13.600 something like seven million dollars. Turns out he raised somewhere 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:18.719 around nineteen hundred dollars maybe in these two schemes. Then 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.800 there's no proof that ever he finished them or whatever. 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:25.320 And it's not that important. But here's the part that's 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:30.920 really insidious. No, yeah, it's interesting as a personality quirk. 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.560 But if you're a scholar in a certain area, whether 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.760 or not you lie about how many marathons you run 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.240 doesn't really matter to me. No, it's kind of a 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.200 character thing. But if you can cure cancer, cure it. 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.920 Please well. On Wednesday, he finally resigned, saying it was 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.280 the only way to move on from the accusation speculation 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:49.160
