WEBVTT - That's The Key With Beans

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and Jetty, and Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 2>There's so much insanity, and not just in politics. Chipotle

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>announced this week they're planning to open a restaurant in Mexico.

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Don't they already have diarrhea in Mexico? Why are they

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 2>doing that? This, to me is just breaks a sacred

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>rule when it comes to food. You don't try to

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 2>sell people their own stuff. There are no olive gardens

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 2>in Italy, there's no Panda Express in China, there are

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>no outback steakhouses in the outback, there's no red lobster

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>in the ocean. And therefore you can't open a Chipotle

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 2>in Mexico.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 3>The idea of Chipotle Mexico is really interesting. I'll bet

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 3>it's in a tourist town where really lame tourists are

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>going to Mexico on vacation and ed a Chipotle.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that is really sad. I'd say, please, don't do

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 4>like the folks who go to a foreign land and

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 4>eat at the McDonald's.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, teach your own. But I imagine that there's

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>some interesting aspects to that.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I've done it, just they have different stuff, right, you know,

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Royale with cheese.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Right, that's a good point. So a number of headlines

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 4>worth at least touching on. We've got some big topics

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 4>to get to, including Jack's review of the now famous.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Book Pride Puppy.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, she is at the center of the Maryland

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 4>School opting out of perverse indoctrination case.

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>And some marriage therapists did a survey of like.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Many, many, many, many, but many couples who didn't make

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 3>it and what things most cause uh, marriage just to

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 3>fall apart completely. And it's actually good. Most of this

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>stuff is stupid and useless. This is pretty good. Actually,

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>fan in with something Joe has said many times.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, and one final thing, why is Trump going after

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 4>the accreditation agencies that accredit colleges in your universities as

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 4>part of the war against DEI? We will explain it's

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 4>actually a really good strategy, which we've been talking about

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 4>for a while here on the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 4>A couple of news headlines worth touching on. A new

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 4>poll is out.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It's the CAP's Harris.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 4>Pole and folks are really really not liking the tariff thing. Though,

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 4>the public is largely behind Trump, with about forty percent

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 4>of voters saying the country is on the right track,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 4>which is an increase of eleven points since January. Trump's

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 4>personal job approval has so far peaked at fifty two

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 4>percent in February is still at forty eight percent, a

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>healthy figure in a polarized country. This does differ from

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 4>the Gallup poll, which came out fairly recently, but it's

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 4>in the same range.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 3>That's that's wild. I mean that he is. He's hanging

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 3>in there with pretty high approval ratings. In the modern sense.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>There aren't going to be any presidents with sixty percent

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 3>approvals again, I don't think, not for.

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 4>A while, not barring some huge happening, you know, a

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 4>war or an attack or something like that. But his

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 4>numbers have plenty of room to grow. Blah blah blah.

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 4>His greatest political danger is his trade policy. Voters like

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 4>mister Trump's immigration policy. Seventy four percent say they favored

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>deporting illegal aliens who have committed crimes, and you twenty

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 4>six percent, why don't you sneak into another country do crimes?

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And then say what you're deporting me out of your minds.

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 4>There was never significant support for the Biden administration's policy

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 4>of open borders, which let ten million people enter the

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 4>country illegally, wildly unpopular, in spite of what you'd gather

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 4>in the media.

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>One of the.

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Most huge, unpopular things any administration's ever done in the

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 3>history of America, and historians will have to study it.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'd say it was a miserable failure of democracy.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I suppose you could point out that, well, they got

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 4>voted out of office, the Democrats, But in the meantime,

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 4>an enormous amount of damage had been done. An enormous

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.479
<v Speaker 4>number of criminals and rapists and murders and gang bangers

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 4>have been let into the country. And then untangling that

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 4>not is going to take many dollars, many years, and

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 4>many victims.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'll say this every time because it's extraordinary.

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 3>It's the largest peacetime migration of humans and the Earth's history.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Joe Biden was not only senile, he was evil,

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 4>as was Alijndro mayorchis what an evil man? Anyway, Let

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 4>me plunge on with a pole. Huge majorities also support

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 4>slimming down the government seventy seven percent support quote a

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 4>full examination of all government expenditures.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait a minute, that's weird.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I keep hearing from David freaking Mure that Doge is

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 4>evil and nice people are being laid off and it's terrible.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants this.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 4>No huge majority support it eighty one percent. Eighty one

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 4>percent think the US should move in the next few

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 4>years to balance the budget, which has not been achieved

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 4>since that shining conservative Bill Clinton was in.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The White House. You know, the.

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Devil in the details is when you talk about what

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 4>to cut, and everybody's going to take a bit of

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 4>a haircut to get to a balanced budget.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's where it gets a little more complicated.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 3>It's it's good news that we want to I mean,

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 3>it would be bad if most people think, nah, this

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.119
<v Speaker 3>is perfectly fine. So it's you know, it's a step

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 3>in the right direction. But it is like you know,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 3>many of us, we're overweight. We're nowhere overweight. You would

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 3>absolutely tell Gallop, yes, I want to lose weight, but

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 3>not change any of your eating habits.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 4>Right, yeah, in the meaning right, that's a good metaphor.

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 4>There are deep passions on both sides. They right but

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 4>a majority of Americans reject woke ideology. Sixty five percent

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 4>of voters favor the policy of banning males from women's

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 4>in girls' sports two thirds of people and again the

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 4>supporting number is less than a third. I'll dig into it,

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 4>but that you got a lot of people who don't

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 4>have an opinion, and you know, please don't vote.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Not have an opinion on this, you bullron. Yeah, I know,

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I agree completely.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, they've been cowed into silence by their neighbors. They're

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 4>just seople, they're we killed. I think it's more cowards

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 4>than idiots. You think women with penises should compete in

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 4>men's sports? No, whoa whoa whoa whoa?

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>What that that when phrase you threw at me? Women

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>with penises? Wow? I don't know.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 4>Sixty percent support quote eliminating all preference by race and

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 4>hiring an awarding of government contracts.

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Folks, we have enormous majorities.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 4>We don't have the media, we don't have Hollywood, we

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 4>don't have education, and that is our challenge. But we're

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 4>working on it, and I'm sure you are too.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, Bobby.

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Kennedy Junior has a forty four percent personal favorability rating

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 4>second only to Trump. Wow, among the fourteen political figures

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 4>included in the poll.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Wow, maybe we should all get a brain worm.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 4>I uh, that's that's a terrible thing to say. Oh,

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 4>I want to get into something you said recently that.

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think Bobby Kennedy just a full disclosure. I

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 4>think he's half a crank. I think he's right about

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 4>a lot of stuff. I think he's completely full of

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>beans about a lot of stuff. And by the way,

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 4>eat more beans is good for you, make America healthy

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 4>again and flagelent.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's good for it.

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 4>You got to ease into it. That's the key with beans.

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Ease into it anyway, that's the key with beans. Joe says, yes, well,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 4>I right about that. Beans are of fabulous nutritional value.

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 4>But you've got to get your gut used to them.

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Otherwise you'll be like the Hindenburg. And there's no reason

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 4>to you that's right, there's no reason to get.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Wish wish childish about this.

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 3>We should have a phrase that pays, like old timey

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>radio contests. If you hear this phrase, call in, you

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 3>get dollars. And the phrase today is I don't what

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 3>that's the key with beginning.

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 4>He's into beans, right, all right, here's the rubs. Here's

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 4>the rub, the tariffs, which generally confuse people. According to

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 4>this ride Up, eighty four percent of the poll's respondents

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 4>say they favor free trade. Our trade is not exactly free,

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 4>but they don't want less free trade. Sixty six agree

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 4>that quote tariffs are important to protect jobs in our

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 4>country today, So obviously there's some tension there. Again, eighty

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 4>four percent say yay free trade, sixty six percent say

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 4>tariffs are important to protect jobs in our country today.

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 4>One way of reconciling the tension between these positions would

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 4>be to use US tariff's as an incentive for other

0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 4>countries to reduce theirs. Obviously and quite correct. So here's

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 4>where mister Trump in public opinion diverge. He gets only

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 4>forty five percent approval on his tariff plans and forty

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 4>one percent on his effort to curb inflation.

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>He needs higher numbers. That's higher than I thought.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty hot. Forty five for tariff. Yeah, you know,

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 4>it's really well. I'm statistics. They're difficult to get to

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 4>the bottom of sometimes, but I'm surprised by this number.

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 4>What percentage of the goods we use in this country

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 4>are imported.

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>The Wall Street Journal wants to.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 4>Know, asking people are for real, for real eleven percent,

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 4>about three trillion dollars a year and a twenty eight

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 4>hundred twenty eight trillion dollar economy.

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Boy, I'd have missed that. Yeah, I'd have missed it

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>completely too. I would like to know. Oh, I might

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 1>have said eighty five or something.

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, you get into the complexity of Okay, you've got

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 4>a car assembled in America. It's got twelve hundred and

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 4>forty parts. Each one of those parts has a different

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>ratio foreign to domestic manufacturer and assembly.

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>So is that car.

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, domestic are not all right? But yeah, but

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 3>you buy one car every three to five years. Everything

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 3>on the Walmart shelf is from China.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So you know.

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.319
<v Speaker 4>I'd intended on touching on a number of other headlines

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 4>in the segment, but got stuck on the poll, which

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 4>is fine.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty interesting.

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 4>I will just throw in one more note that we'll

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 4>take a break because Jack's got some good stuff for us.

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 4>But a new study out of a couple of universities

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 4>have joined up several French universities and research institutions, and

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 4>they think that a combination of the food additives in

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 4>our diets, the modern hyper refined diet, might raise the

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 4>risk of diabetes.

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>They add to the risk of each other.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 4>They snowball in other words, And we don't have time

0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 4>to get into this now. But you know, if you

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 4>were a scientist studying whatever elephants, and all of a

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 4>sudden elephants were getting much much fatter and dying younger

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 4>and having more cancer at all. And somebody said, well,

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 4>they're eating a diet unlike they've ever eaten in the

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 4>history of elephants, and you said, no, that's not it.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's keep looking. I mean, you'd be an idiot, right right,

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 4>No kidding, all right, more to come on that topic.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure how to keep your marriage together are man

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 3>signs to look out for that are going to doom

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 3>your marriage. And remember the big takeaway from this segment,

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 3>ease into your new all bean diet.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>According to you, indeed hard primary, stay tuned. You've said

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>this many times.

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 3>After your years of trying a number of different kinds

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 3>of therapy for me and my family, kids, marriage, all

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 3>kinds of different stuff. I think it's mostly worthless. I

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 3>really do, I really do. I think it's mostly a

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 3>waste of money, unfortunately, but this was pretty good from

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 3>a marriage psychologist who reveals the number one sign of

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 3>a future separation. And this stuff is almost always crap,

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 3>especially if it's in the New York Post, which is

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 3>where I got this.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>But I thought this was really good.

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 3>If you want to know if your marriage is heading

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 3>to splitsville, don't check your partner's phone, check their face.

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Like any of that.

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, there's so many stupid things out there, you know,

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 3>the one sign that he's gonna cheat or whatever the

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 3>hell I mean, they're just all dumb but click bait.

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 3>The one sided mouth rays the subtle smirk of superiority

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 3>is the number one red flag for divorce, according to

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 3>this psychologist.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And they get into why.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Research blah blah blah blah found that four nasty little habits, criticism, contempt, defensiveness,

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 3>and stonewalling are the four horsemen of the apocalypse when

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 3>it comes to dooming relationships.

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll read those four again.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. But contempt is the kiss

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>of death. That's the one. And you've said that for years.

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the one you can't get past done, the largest

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 3>marriage experiment ever done. They think of couples that you know,

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 3>survive and don't survive body language experts, which we've mocked

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 3>for years and all that sort of thing.

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Because they're usually stupid.

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 6>Also well on cable TV they are, Yeah, brought couples

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 6>into a lab and if one member of the couple

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 6>shows a one sided mouth raise, which I had never

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 6>heard before as like a physical contempt thing.

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>But I guess we're just programmed. When we're feeling that

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>feeling of contempt.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 3>For something or you know, the old pleaser get out

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 3>of here with that BS or whatever feeling, you raise.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:45.959
<v Speaker 1>One side of your mouth.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 3>It's funny if one member of the couple shows a

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 3>one sided mouth raise towards the other, he can tell

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 3>you if they're going to get divorced, because it's contempt.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 3>He could predict divorce with an astonishing ninety four percent

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 3>accurate Fear. Now this is part I think. I thought

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 3>that was really interesting. Fear comes in a burst, and

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>then you calm down. Happiness comes and then you go

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 3>back to normal. Anger comes and then you calm down,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 3>but not contempt. If you feel scorn or disdain for

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 3>someone else, and if it's not addressed, it just festers

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 3>and grows and stays at the same level. All that

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 3>is true, doesn't it fear anger and then obviously happiness

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 3>you get back to a normal level. Contempt, it does

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 3>not go away, you know.

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 4>In a definition of contempt, the feeling that a person

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 4>or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless or deserving scorn.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Ye, he's coming back from that.

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's why at the end of a marriage you

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 3>often have two people who can't even look at each other.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 3>You only need what contempt on one end obviously for

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing to work. I I've not felt contempt,

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 3>but I have been on the wrong end of contempt,

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I think. And having read this, I thought, yeah, that's

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 3>what was insurmountable. I mean, because once you have contempt

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 3>for someone you don't agree, you don't think they are

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 3>worth listening to on anything.

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Right, this is how I feel. This is my priority.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't care right. Yeah, that's a tough one to

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 4>get past. So look out for contempt and whatever started

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 4>to bring it on. The point is you start to

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 4>deal with it right away, otherwise it does just grow

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 4>and fester. And then it gets into a situation where

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 4>it might might not be reversible. They also believe that

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 4>many couples get stuck in an endless loop of the

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 4>same three arguments throughout the relationship.

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 1>They just don't realize it. And if you can nail down.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 3>What your three most common arguments are you and your partner,

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 3>you can solve a lot of problems. Like you get

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 3>into something, you say, okay, here we're in argument number

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 3>two again. We always argue about this, and you can

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, realize that you know, you don't see eye

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 3>to eye on this particular thing and how you've dealt

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 3>with it.

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 1>In the past, which is a pretty good kid.

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Actually distracted by the details or the trivia, you realize, oh,

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 4>this is argument B.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, and that interesting back to the contempt thing.

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Disgust and contempt are to a relationship with gasoline, and

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 3>matches are to a fire. The telltale signs are eye rolling,

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 3>somebody's rolling their eyes at you. That's not good, eye rolling,

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 3>mouth crimping, and then subtle fidgeting like picking it closed

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 3>or cleaning fingers mid conversation as signals of disdain. This

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 3>person said that they dubbed this move the lint picker,

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 3>a behavior that he says, screams contempt.

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Louder than words ever could.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 3>If somebody is, you know, explaining something very important and

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 3>you're like picking lint off your shirt or.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Something, oh my god, interesting, you know, it's probably worth

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 4>presenting the other side of the coin at some point.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 4>We don't have time now, but how do you prevent

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 4>that sort of thing if it in the bud having

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 4>lint on your shirt, No contempt in your marriage, no heart,

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Strong and geddy. Rosie o'donald told CNN it's heartbreaking to

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 4>watch Donald Trump.

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Destroy the country from her new home of Ireland.

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 6>Meanwhile, Ireland told CNN it's heartbreaking that there's not enough

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 6>guinness to make Rosie o'donnald look pretty.

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 4>No, no, Michael, I don't approve of that joke. That's

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 4>just she's not an attractive woman. Yeah, it's a matter

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 4>of genetics, and I just know. No, she's cruel cruel

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 4>See you.

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't find old women hot unless she's totally irrelevant.

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, again, that is just cruelty for cruelty's sake. I

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>don't approve. We need a woman to stand it, Yes, yes,

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Katie as the woman on the program, Michael, I approve

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:02.159
<v Speaker 1>of that joke. No, no, no, you're overruled.

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 4>That helps, does it? You know it just occurred to

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 4>me Jack on air meeting. We've got that Martha McCallum

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 4>talking to the evil Randy Winegarten audio about the nature

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 4>of education. Maybe we go big on that hour four

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.360
<v Speaker 4>of the hour four. My goodness, you fellas work hard,

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes we do. If you don't get our four, you

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 4>can subscribe to our podcast Armstrong you get on demand.

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 1>It's available later on the day. If I had to

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>describe us in two words, it would be put upon yes,

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>oh please please. They forced us to sign the contract. Anyway.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps you've heard that Donald J.

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Recently issued an executive order yesterday as a matter of fact,

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 4>to shake up the world of college accreditation, which Trump

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.920
<v Speaker 4>called his secret weapon in a bid to remake higher

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:59.480
<v Speaker 4>education and somehow drag our colleges in universities away from

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 4>the neo Marxist woke thing, which we have identified as

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 4>maybe the biggest challenge this country has churning out generation

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 4>after generation of kids who are trained to hate their

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.959
<v Speaker 4>own country and hate the very foundations of Western civilization.

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 4>It is a bizarre experiment in suicide, you know, cultural suicide,

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 4>and it needs to end like the day before yesterday.

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 4>But it's going to be a hell of a fight anyway.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 4>The order aims to use the accrediting system to combat

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 4>with Trump used as a discriminator, as discriminatory practices and

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 4>ideological overreach on college campuses, The White House said, And

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 4>it's interesting that this piece in the Wall Street Journal.

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Which is written by a couple of gals.

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.160
<v Speaker 4>I believe they're both gals, you know, has this sort

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 4>of cliched phrase that you're used to some or Trump

0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 4>and other Republicans have long criticized the accreditation problem, says,

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 4>calling it a cartel that stifles competition and doesn't help

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 4>police colleges and universities with poor student outcomes. And indeed,

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 4>some conservatives claim it reinforces the woke ideology. I'm paraphrasing

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 4>what they say in the article, and I'm reading this

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 4>and thinking, you're a reporter, why don't you look into

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 4>whether those claims are true or not. Joe Getty claimed

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 4>that his business partner Jack Armstrong, is a murderer in

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 4>other news. Wait a minute, this is the pivotal question

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 4>before us and your journalists allegedly.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I says to myself, I says, wait a minute.

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Didn't the journal itself have a really interesting piece not

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.640
<v Speaker 4>long ago about these accreditation agencies and how they operate.

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.719
<v Speaker 4>And it took jack God, Oh was it three weeks

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 4>or no, it was about two and a half minutes

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 4>to find a great piece by Henry Stone. How colleges

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 4>and universities get around eight DEI bands. They hide behind

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 4>vague demands from accreditors, and Congress should deprive them of

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 4>this excuse.

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, a brief tangent here. Yeah, Congress has got

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 1>to pass laws. Executive orders are good. Laws are great.

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, this gentleman is writing about how incredibly woke these

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 4>accreditation agencies are, and they are. Here's here's an example,

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 4>des Moines, Iowa. Someone's lying, he writes, that's what I

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 4>discovered after trying to free my state's higher education system

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.200
<v Speaker 4>from DEI. Instead of complying with a DEI band we

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 4>passed into law earlier this year, the University of Iowa,

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.679
<v Speaker 4>the College of Medicine, says it's forced to maintain these

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 4>programs or it will lose its accreditation, essentially killing the institution.

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Yet a creditor say that's not the case, even as

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 4>they give quiet cover to universities. If federal reforms don't

0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:00.399
<v Speaker 4>stop these shenanigans, virtually every part of higher education may

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 4>soon wriggle.

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Free of state DEI bands.

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.360
<v Speaker 4>So the states are trying to do the right thing

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 4>because they understand that this is perverse, neomarxist, it's racist,

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 4>it's anti Title nine, it's all sorts of evil. But

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 4>the accreditation agencies are saying, let me find this specific here, okay.

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.679
<v Speaker 4>So they had legislation in Iowa that banned public institutions,

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 4>including i with three public universities, from having DEI offices, programs,

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 4>and staff. And he thought that the law would soon

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 4>strive DEI from the campuses in state government.

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>He writes, I was wrong.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 4>In early November, the Iowa Board of Regents, which oversees

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 4>the state's public universities, issued a report on compliance with

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 4>the law. It laid out in detail how DEI initiatives

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 4>hadn't been shut down statewide, But in fine print, on

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 4>page seventy eight, I learned that Carver College, that's the

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 4>big medical school, is keeping its Office of Health Parody open.

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 4>The office proudly declares on its home page that it

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:03.959
<v Speaker 4>quote strives to achieve excellence through the advancement of diversity, equity,

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 4>and inclusion. The Board of Regents says its hand was

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.360
<v Speaker 4>forced by accreditors. These are private institutions that decide whether

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 4>universities and graduate schools can grant degrees or not.

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And they are woke af pardon me, as the kids

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.359
<v Speaker 1>say these days. Wow.

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 3>So they keep open that office, and the people that

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 3>made that decision might not believe in it at all,

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 3>but they got to have that to keep their accreditation.

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:32.159
<v Speaker 3>And then the people that work in what was the

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 3>name of that Office of Health Equity or whatever.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, it's such an Orwellian office of health parody,

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Jack right, the Office.

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Of Health Parity.

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 3>The people that work in that office toiling away probably

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 3>don't know Your only here is like a token to

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the accreditation people.

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Be successful or don't. I don't care. Yeah.

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 4>So the accreditors deny pushing the DEI agenda. Last week

0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.399
<v Speaker 4>last year, rather as The Wall Street Journal reported, the

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 4>alleas On Committee on Medical Education, which accredits to US

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 4>medical schools, told federal lawmakers, we don't require DEI, but

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 4>their charter does demand that all medical schools that get

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 4>accredited engage quote in ongoing systematic and focused recruitment and

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 4>retention activities to achieve mission appropriate diversity outcomes, or.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.639
<v Speaker 1>We yank your accreditation and you're not educating anybody.

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Diverse outcome meaning you have to have a certain percentage

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 3>of different people graduating.

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And you've got to toe the line on health equity,

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 4>education programs and just all of this this garbage.

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 3>And it's mostly by the way, because it always I'm

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 3>always worried to sound like, you know, a white male

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 3>standing up for more what it's the Asian kids that

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 3>are getting screwed.

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>In that thing the most.

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, well, yeah, yeah. I mean there are a

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 4>hundred problems with that, with this, but that's one of them.

0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 4>And you know, for what it's worth, I've learned, you know,

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.119
<v Speaker 4>thirty five times more after graduating from college than I

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:07.160
<v Speaker 4>did in college. But my educational background is political science

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:11.359
<v Speaker 4>and comparing the political systems and how they function. And

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 4>I've got to admit, when I step aside from my

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 4>disgust in horror at this unholy experiment in turning our

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:22.160
<v Speaker 4>kids against their own country and Western civilisation in general,

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 4>I've got to admire the insidious effectiveness of these people.

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no kidding.

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 4>They said to themselves, all right, what do we really

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 4>need to rot this society from the inside out? You know,

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 4>the media was a fairly easy play. But we need education.

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 4>We've got to get the kids. We've got to indoctrinate

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 4>the kids to hate their country so we can tear

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:46.400
<v Speaker 4>it down.

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 3>And the conservative analogy to that would be the decades

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 3>long effort to overturn Roe versus Wade and getting various

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 3>judges at various levels of federal courts building up to

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the Supreme Court. I mean, it's no very long planned

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 3>out decades, Yeah, a very strategic effort to do that.

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.159
<v Speaker 1>The liberal end of it is this what you're just

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about.

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's amazing to get all of these policies

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 3>and place at so many different levels of our education system, right,

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:24.360
<v Speaker 3>and the cleverness to say, well, what if the colleges resist,

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 3>what if they still want a diversity of opinions on

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 3>their faculty, then we yank their accreditation.

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>We need to control the accreditation agencies. How do we

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>do that?

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Through DEI And I'll give you the nickel version of this,

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 4>as James Lindsay put it so brilliantly critical. Race theory

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 4>is calling something racist until you control it. So you

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 4>go to the accreditation agency and you say, are you

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 4>an anti racist? I'm against racism. No, you've got to

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 4>be an anti racist first of all, read this book

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 4>by Robin DiAngelo ibramex Kindy and declare that all white

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 4>people are racist and white supremacists, including you. And you're like, no,

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm not a racist, and they get you fired because

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 4>you're not an anti racist. A lot of you perhaps

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.399
<v Speaker 4>saw people run out of their careers for not towing

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 4>the post George Floyd Black Lives Matter line, and they

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 4>terrify people into leaving, or they run them out, or

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 4>they force them to their knees like a struggle session

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 4>in Mao's China, to decline, to declare that, yes, I'm evil.

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes the United States was founded on a bigotry in slavery,

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 4>and yes all of Western civilization is white supremacy. Don't

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 4>hurt me, let me keep my job. And then you're

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.920
<v Speaker 4>under their control and they take over the accreditation agencies.

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>That's how they did it. It's evil, but it's clever.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 4>We've got to be every bit as aggressive and clever

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 4>fighting back. So anyway, you see that Donald Jay's going

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.880
<v Speaker 4>after college accreditation agencies, why that's why.

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think Trump knew this stuff. No either,

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 3>certainly back in twenty fifteen when he ran. I wonder

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 3>who convinced him of all this?

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think JD. Vance has a terrific grasp of

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 1>this stuff.

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 4>I disagree with JD on a handful of things pretty vehemently,

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 4>but I think he's really really good on this stuff.

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, that'd be interesting. I'd like to know more about that. Like, yeah,

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I disagree with him one hundred percent today on his

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine stuff, and we got more of that later. But

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 3>if he's driving the bus on this, that's fantastic.

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. And like I say, this is so critical

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a fight.

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I really really believe it is that when

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 4>I see them do stuff like the whips on on

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 4>the tariffs and some of the trades stuff, and it's

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 4>not like, all right, don't mess up the economy because

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 4>if you do that, Republicans are going to get booted

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 4>out of office and we're not going to get a

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 4>chance to fight this fight. So proceed at least Semikar.

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 4>Of course that's not exactly. You know, the Donald J.

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Trump boy are doing things which is fun.

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is.

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Uh right, So we got we got to get into

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 3>the book Pride Puppy an hour three, a variety of things.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I would definitely want to get to that whole Ukraine conversation.

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 3>We know no more about that Maryland man, Uh, the

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 3>MS thirteen guy.

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Right, we got that, and uh and j Lo and

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Ben Affleck are having a hard time selling their house.

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a oh sorry to hear that their house is

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 3>worth mentioning. Wow, but a lot of stuff on the

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 3>way to stay.

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Here, Armstrong Eddie, we saw a mail truck driving in

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 5>the wrong direction in the same lane that we were in.

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 5>He proceeded to drive in zigzags all the way down

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 5>the road until she got to the stop sign, where

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 5>she proceeded to kick a solo cup out of the

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 5>side of the mail truck. She was literally off roading

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 5>in the mail truck.

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 1>We have a drunk mail truck driver.

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I like the kicking the solo cup out gez Yeah,

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 4>And they'll never notice this.

0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, here's a mail truck worker.

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 4>A female Maleman who was rolling along doing her thing

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.400
<v Speaker 4>thirty three years old, came across.

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>There are a female Maleman. They're probably by them. Oh boy.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, this thoroughly woman Maleman saw a house party and

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.959
<v Speaker 4>evidently somebody said, hey, come on in for a proper two.

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>She thought why not, and indeed got somewhat.

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Well unsober and has been charged with a variety of

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 4>crimes which are no joke. But I've got to admit

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 4>it's somewhat amusing. The idea of hey, you know, you

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 4>get your route is long and life is hard, come

0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 4>on in for a drink.

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 1>And she says, yeah, I know. Some point old lady

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't get her TV guide. What are they going to get.

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Their safeway flyers fifteen minutes late? Come on in and

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 3>have a drink.

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Good lord, exactly.

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Evidently she could not hold her liqueur though, and was

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 4>swerving in and out of her lane, et cetera, including

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 4>into the oncoming traffic.

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which, yeah, terrible. Oh yeah yeah. Start with the

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>least important stupidest thing first.

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 3>J Lo and ben Aflack, who got divorced again after

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.239
<v Speaker 3>getting married for the second time. Their divorce is being

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 3>held up by they're trying to figure out how to

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 3>deal with their home it hasn't been selling, and then

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 3>split in the money. Sixty eight million dollar Beverly Hills

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 3>home that's expensive even by you know, rich people standards.

0:31:56.280 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Sixty eight million dollar home, Beverly Hills, calip It is

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 3>a thirty eight thousand square foot man, you just get

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 3>done with dusting and you'd have to start over on

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 3>the other end again, that'd be oh yeah, yeah, thirty

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 3>thousand square foot home.

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at this compound.

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 3>It looks like it's a community college or something, but

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 3>it's their home in Beverly Hills. And I just.

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, most of us will never know but that

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that's beyond buying a home. I don't even I don't

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>even know what.

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 3>It really is when you look at a place like that,

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 3>And how do you compare one to another? If when

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at something.

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>That large, and what do you play? I think you

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 1>do there?

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 4>A compound is a much better way to look at it. Yeah,

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 4>you own, Why would you restrict yourself to your home?

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 4>You have like one or two guest homes of significant

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 4>size that are bigger than most Americans homes. For you know,

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 4>friends and relatives and partiers and the rest of it.

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 4>You have a bar with the dance floor used twice

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 4>a year, but who came to the theater in a

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 4>basketball court right exactly, a big gym as well equipped

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 4>as your local gym.

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know.

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 4>The enormous dining room that you probably used again three

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 4>four times a year. Otherwise you're eating in the kitchen

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 4>like normal people.

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know.

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 4>And some some incredible beautiful outdoor pool with the patio.

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Set, and obviously you're not cleaning it yourself. I wish

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 3>somebody would put out the side costs on a home

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 3>like that one time. Oh you never hear those. I'd

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 3>like to hear what what's your property tax? Is easy

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 3>to figure out because it's roughly ten percent in California.

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 3>So that's what you got to pay in property tax

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:38.880
<v Speaker 3>every single year. That's a lot. So you'd pay six

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 3>point eight million dollars in property tax every year.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 4>No, no, ten percent a year. I think somebody's stealing

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 4>from you. It's like and the county I lived one

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 4>in a quarter. I think you may have moved a

0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 4>decimal point, but anyway, it's exhausted and big houses equal

0:33:59.120 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 4>big bills.

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I learned that early on in life. Somebody told me that,

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's quite true.

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I'm sure, But like I'd love to know

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 3>what's their energy bill, what's it cost to clean it?

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>How much did they spend on gardeners?

0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I mean it would be no you if, obviously,

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 3>if somebody gave you that home, even without property tax,

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 3>you couldn't afford to live there.

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 4>It'd be impossible unless you're gonna get tax it. It's

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:28.800
<v Speaker 4>completely out of the question. Yeah, it'd be funny just

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.799
<v Speaker 4>to present the idea that j Lo finally got tired

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 4>of cleaning. She just she would vacuum and vacuum and

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.320
<v Speaker 4>vacuum and dust and dust and clean the toilets, and

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 4>then you know, there's Ben sitting on table watching football,

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.480
<v Speaker 4>and then it was time to start cleaning again, right.

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Let Jenny from the block trying to get the cobwebs

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 3>down in bedroom number forty.

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Seven, and she had it hasn't been in it in

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 4>six months, and look at these cobwebs.

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I didn't get to the fact that Trump speaking

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 3>to homes. He's putting up flagpoles on the White House grounds.

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 3>He's paying for him himself. Two one hundred foot flagpoles

0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 3>on each side of the White House will have big

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 3>American flags, and he's paying for it. And he's a

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, he's a builder. So he had contractors out

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 3>there yesterday. You could see pictures of him like pointing

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:12.600
<v Speaker 3>up in the sky and at trees.

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And stuff like that. Wow, Okay, I'm in favor of that.

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 3>He's footing the bill because he didn't want it to

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 3>become a problem.

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, huh, good for him. The book Tried Puppy in

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the News will tell you about it.
