0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna there are all sorts of interesting things happening

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 3>during the transition, many of which are not getting much

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 3>attention in the dominant media that we're gonna touch on

0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>real quickly. But why not this topic just briefly. This

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>is from frequent correspond to JT and Livermore talking about

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 3>how in twenty sixteen, Trump's victory spawned the resistance with

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>the paintcats and the He's not legitimate, He's a stooge

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>of pootin Russia Gabe.

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah.

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Trump's twenty four victory spawned a new TDS based sickness

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 3>in which the crib every left cuts off their friendships

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>and family relationships, seemingly as a form of virtue, signaling

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 3>about how awful it is that the basket of deplorables,

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 3>the bitter clingers in the garbage, have voted Trump into office.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Then he gets into the insanity and the lefty leadership

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 3>and pundits and media. They paid this election as an

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 3>existential threat to the country. Then after they lose, those

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>same people said that it was because our country was

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>so misogynistic in racist, deplorable, bitter garbage. Then they validated

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 3>their hateful rhetoric by telling distressed lefty voters that it

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.639
<v Speaker 3>was appropriate to cut off family and friends voting for Trump,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 3>which was worse the hateful rhetoric and lies against Trump

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and every Trump supporter or that post lost narrative, that's

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 3>appropriate to cut off all Republicans from your life. It's

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.279
<v Speaker 3>so sad, And you know, there's part of me that thinks,

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, if I had a friend or relatives say that,

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 3>I'd say good go go bye bye, but that that

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>would almost validate the idea of it's appropriate to end

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 3>relationships over politics.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's you know, I don't know.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 4>That's easy to say if I don't think about a

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 4>specific person, but like about you, or not talk to

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 4>either one of my brothers ever again because of how

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 4>the election went, that would be horrible.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's incredibly dysfunctional and like childish and or adolescent.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 3>It's just what a state our politics are in. And

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 3>then finally, or as it is in our politics is

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 3>in or our mess at the end, I'm going with

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>r and speaking of crazy, I want to squeeze this in.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Did you see or did you hear that AOC has

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 3>taken the pronouns out of her social media bios? Hm,

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>social media accounts? Isn't that interesting?

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 4>Wow? Bill Maher had a thing about that on Friday night.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we'll have to grab that on because he was

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 4>comparing it to the Oh it's because they're sexist and

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 4>racist and not because liberals have started using pronouns and

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 4>claiming there's no such thing as a difference between a

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 4>man and a woman all these other different things that

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 4>almost nobody in America agrees with it.

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then this same person pointed out that when

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Seth Molten said, hey, I got a couple of little

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.119
<v Speaker 3>girls in sports. I don't want them run over by

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 3>a boy playing sports. He was compared to a Nazi collaborator,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 3>a monster, and one of his top staffers quit. So

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, look, Trump is what Trump is. It's pretty

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>well documented what Trump is at this point. But y'all

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 3>at that like one third of the farthest left in America,

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 3>y'all are nuts. I think everybody's recognizing it more and

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>more saying it openly. Yeah, all that stuff you've been

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 3>making us do, that's cuckoo nuts. Transition wise, we trust

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Axios more or less. Now, why isn't that Jonathan Swan's outfit?

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, that pretty sure.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>They got a headline today, massive blow up between Musk

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 4>and Trump advisor that I don't recognize the name over

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 4>cabinet picks as each jockey for influence. The next Bob

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 4>Woodward book or somebody's book is going to have about

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 4>the whole Musk Trump thing and what's going on, because

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 4>there's a fair amount of reporting about Musk being in

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 4>like involved in everything, every decision, every cabinet pick, all

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 4>the foreign leader calls, and just what is going on

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 4>there exactly well, and even if you're used to being

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 4>in the highest reaches of presidential power.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>It would have to be at least surreal to sit

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>there in a room telling Elon Musk No, you're out

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 3>of your mind.

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 2>That's a dumb idea.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Or it's probably weird for Elon to you know, if

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 3>anybody's telling him that, to think, Okay, who are you?

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So a couple of stories about to transition and

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 3>the the way the transition affects the rest of the world.

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Smugglers are telling migrants again, when did immigrants become migrants?

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 3>And ironically we're going to talk about farm workers. It

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 3>used to be immigrants actually were migrants. They would migrate

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 3>to the United States, they would work for six months

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, then migrate back to Mexico and back to

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 3>their homes. Now these people from Venezuela, for the one

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>of the first times in history, they're not migrants at all,

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 3>and now we're.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Supposed to call them migrants. Shut up anyway.

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>Smugglers are telling illegal immigrants to rush to the US

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 3>before Trump takes power. The Coyotes are anticipating US border

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 3>policy changes and are rushing as many people as they

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 3>can to the border to make as much money as possible.

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 4>It's more profitable than drugs. Now, well that makes sense.

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean things are going to change very quickly. Yeah,

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, absolutely. But the Coyotes follow the news. They

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:54.559
<v Speaker 4>know what they're doing.

0:05:55.040 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Also transition news, the Energy Department has quadrupled their lending

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 3>budget and a rush to approve green energy loans before

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Trump takes office. In other words, the Biden administration is

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 3>going to hand out as much of your tax money

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 3>as they possibly can before they're out the door to

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 3>their cronies in the green energy world, knowing that they

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>can count on their votes next time, or for Congress

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 3>or the Senate in two years or whatever. Department of

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Energy Loan office quadrupled it's available lending budget over two

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty billion dollars last week, as Biden officials

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 3>rushed to approve a flurry of green energy loans, even

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 3>as it's becoming more and more clear that, for instance,

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 3>the EVY thing is just not going to pan out.

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>The numbers aren't there, the environmental impact isn't there. None

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>of it's there. It's just handing out money to cronies.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Let's say one more, Ah, this is important. The Customs

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 3>and Border Patrol that Trump is going to take hold

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 3>of and Mike Homan is it and just completely whoop

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 3>into shape. Well, Biden's active too. The Biden Harris Customs

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 3>and Border Patrol has rolled out new pronouns for its

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 3>official web meetings as they have zoom calls and the

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>rest of it. Then this is new. They want to

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 3>make sure this is instituted in the CBP before they go.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 3>You can now put your pronoun up there in your

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>official profile.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>It's on the screen for your name, free meeting.

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Brother.

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>That's great.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, isn't that just desperate and stupid? And it'll be

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 3>rolled back immediately. Yeah, and there's a sister story to that.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 3>The online guide that the Customs and Border Patrol. Let's

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>see what else could they be doing? Hmm, nothing I

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>could think of. The online guide posted by the federal

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 3>government directs the good folks to you see Davis, only

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 3>a few miles away from the radio ranch.

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Who's you see Davis?

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Lgbt e QIA Recourse Center list fifty potential pronouns a

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>person may choose.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Fifty fifty cautions fifty seems like a lot.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, no, you're exactly wrong. You you monster,

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 3>you you garbage, you deplorable, you clinger. It cautions readers

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 3>that the list is not exhaustive, it is only partial,

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 3>and it explains, in case you're unfamiliar with this, what

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 3>are pronouns? All? These did go first the strunken white

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 3>English usage thing. But pronouns are integral to who we are,

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 3>and we share pronouns because we want to avoid assuming

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>someone's pronouns based on factors like appearance. By sharing our

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 3>own pronouns routinely, we encourage others to do the same.

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Blah blah blah. This is straight out of radical queer theory,

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>radical gender theory. Common pronouns include she here, there's, he, him, his, etcetera.

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 3>But then they get into the actual how to use

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 3>them and how you have to memorize them. For instance,

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 3>he laughed, ask him that's his pen? That pens his?

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Did he enjoy himself?

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm going to so far. Am I five years old?

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Or am I just moving here from Russia?

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Well it depends do you use a co as your pronoun?

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Co laughed? Ask Co, that's Co's pen that pens cos?

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Did Co? Did Co enjoys co self? Does Core? Does

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>CO have a penis? Or a vagina. That's what I

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>want to know.

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 3>V that's v's pen uh ask viz that's ver pen

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 3>And I would have to pen and I would have

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 3>to memorize fifty plus of these? Did V enjoy verse self? Yeah,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 3>you better get started verse self? Okay, And that's just

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 3>like the first dozen. And remember, folks, you got like

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 3>forty eight more to memorize.

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 4>God, I would look to be I would love to

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 4>be involved in the meetings where they come up with

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 4>these and sit there and listen to people present new

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 4>ideas and then how they're going to be used and

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 4>and act like this is going to sweep the world

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 4>and everybody will be doing it soon.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh I know, and like ending your career if you

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 3>don't go along with it. In academia right now, we

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 3>have some reasonable conservative, sane, you know, moderate lefty folks

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 3>even saying yeah, dudes, I totally agree with you. But

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 3>here at the English Department, for instance, you see Davis.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 3>If I dare not use my pronouns, my career's over.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>So g Oh.

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, As I've said before, I have a professor friend

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 4>who retired early because he did not want to do

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 4>that at that very university.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he if he could have held on

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>a couple more years, But you know, a couple more

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>years of being forced to your knees to submit to

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 3>something you know is insane is a long time. But

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I think we all and I'm against obscenities in a

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 3>public place. So if you would like to use the

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 3>radio friendly version, I'm about to. We need to get

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 3>used to this phrase. We need to get used to

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 3>saying it. We need to say it with confidence. That's

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 3>effing nuts, that's effing crazy, or that's effing stupid.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna tell you which of those to choose.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.599
<v Speaker 2>It's up to you. You're an American. You got the

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>First Amendment.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 3>When somebody says, you know, when when Professor Jones comes

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 3>into the room, you've got to say Z laughed, Ask

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 3>her that errs pen that pennzers did Z enjoys her self?

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>You say, uh, that's effing nuts.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 3>There you go. You see how it works. Our system's

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 3>a lot simpler than theirs. There's less memorization.

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>O my god, that's funny.

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 5>Jack Armstrong and Joey The.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 4>They were talking about ratings on msn this morning. I

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 4>think because CNN and MSNBC's ratings are so low. I'm

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 4>looking up at Fox right now and there's Carl Rove

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 4>and it reminded me so my brother loathes Carl Rove.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 4>And it's because in twenty twelve, during the entire election

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 4>cycle between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, Karl Rove was

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 4>going on TV every day explaining how Mitt Romney is

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 4>gonna win and the mainstream media is misleading you, and

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be hilarious on election Day when everybody figures

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>this out. And then after it wasn't even close, my

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 4>brother came to the conclusion that he was being lied

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 4>to by Fox News. That's exactly what is going on

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 4>with that huge drop off on CNN and specifically MSNBC

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 4>right now, because after an entire election season of all

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 4>those people laughing at the idea that Donald Trump could

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 4>possibly get elected and here's why the polls are wrong,

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 4>and here's how crazy you would have to blah blah

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 4>blah blah blah. Then you wake up on election day

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 4>or the day after and finance.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you are all lying to me. That was all

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of crap. I think it is a kicking

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the gut.

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Mit I think you need to add the delicious icing

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 3>of this to that cake. And that would be the

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 3>absolute hair on fire, hyperbolic. He's Hitler fascist, There'll never

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 3>be another an election, blood running in the streets. And

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 3>then the next day there's Joe Biden, you know, shaking

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 3>hands with the guy.

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Come on, and that's true. So you combine those two things,

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 4>cut the crap. You combine those two things and you

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.719
<v Speaker 4>would have to like reorient yourself as to what you're

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 4>gonna pay attention to or care about, because oh, you

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 4>guys didn't actually care and uh and you were lying.

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 4>So okay, now I need to find something else to

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 4>do with my time. So I'm still reading Bob Woodward's Oars,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 4>and there's some those books are so clipping good. It's

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 4>a shame nobody reads them, because nobody does. But the

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 4>right into the part where the Ukrainian War is about

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 4>to start in this book, and Biden had just gotten

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 4>off a long phone call, the longest phone call he'd

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 4>ever had with Putin. They were on the phone for

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 4>an hour on a Sunday morning, and Biden was really

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 4>laying into him about how what a horrible idea it

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 4>would be to invade Ukraine.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>And everything like that. Putin was explaining.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Why he had to do it, and you're planning to

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 4>put nuclear bias blah blah blah blah. Anyway, Biden gets

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 4>off the phone and says, he aft it up. He

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 4>effed the whole thing up. And the people around him

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 4>are like, what are you talking about, and he's like, Brock,

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 4>he effed the whole thing up by doing nothing. In

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 4>twenty fourteen, when Putin went in to Crimea, all he

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 4>did was signal to Putin that he can get away

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 4>with anything.

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Brock aft this up? And I thought, how is that

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 3>not a headline out of the book, the fact that

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden lays at Barack Obama's feet the responsibility for

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>going into Ukraine. Wow, you got one side of the

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 3>media that's utterly dishonest and nothing to see here. He

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 3>said something mean about Trump on page two hundred and thirty,

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 3>and then the other side of the media doesn't read

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 3>what words so right?

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Really interesting that that was Biden's response. You know, he

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 4>might be rewriting history in his own memory. I have

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 4>no idea, but he portrayed it as he was pushing

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Barack Obama, we got to push back or putin will

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 4>think he can get away with anything. And that doesn't

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 4>sound like Joe Biden to me and his and his

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 4>response afterwards.

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, but I thought that was interesting.

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I realized the irony of it that the feckless,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>gutless Joe Biden is calling his boss very feckless and gutless.

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 3>But the man who is f andng if you will,

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 3>he's the last guy who wants a problem shoved down

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 3>the road to him, you know what I mean. So

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 3>that's you know, if you were like a strong and

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 3>decisive guy, you would say, yeah, Barack Obama's a coward

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 3>and he f this up and now I've got to

0:15:58.920 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 3>deal with it.

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to deal with it well.

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 3>And the difference being Biden says, yeah, I'm just gonna

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 3>say don't.

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't.

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 4>And to Joe Biden's credit, I mean compared to Barack Obama,

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he was Eisenhower in terms of supplying Ukraine

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 4>with an ability to push back. Because Barack Obama is correct,

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Barack Obama did nothing got him into the chapter right

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 4>now where we sent over CIA director Burns to talk

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 4>to Zelensky, this is right before the invasion happens, and

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 4>sits down with him and says, look, it's gonna happen

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 4>like next week, and this is what they're gonna do.

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 4>And Zelensky doesn't believe it, and all the europe major

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 4>European leaders don't believe it. Part of it is because

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 4>we couldn't lay out all the information we had because

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 4>we actually had a human being in the Kremlin, so

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 4>that's where we're getting our info, So we couldn't like

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 4>lay out how we know how we knew this, but

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 4>we knew it was gonna happen, and Zelensky was like,

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 4>surely not, it can't or maybe you know his he

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 4>was hoping it couldn't be true because it's just horrifying.

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Burn said, they're going to roll in here and their

0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 4>first job is going to be to try to kill you.

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 4>So what is your security situation like they've got They're

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 4>gonna come straight to keep It's gonna take him like

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 4>six hours. They're gonna be setting out special forces throughout

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 4>the city hunting for you, trying to kill you. Can

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 4>you imagine getting that information from the Sea High director

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 4>of the United States.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap, I would say, just completely overwhelming.

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 3>As a former YouTube star who's now president of the country.

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Good Lord, that would be some info. Togain, I don't care.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.640
<v Speaker 3>You might be the most seasoned chairman of the Joint

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 3>chiefs of Staff. That would still be overwhelmed.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty show, Yeah, or Jack or show

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>podcasts and our hot lakes see Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 3>I've just become aware of Scott Jennings because he has

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 3>been hiding from humanity on CNN. But I love the

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 3>cut of his GiB. I love his act. He's calm,

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 3>he smart, he's reasonable. I posited last hour that gen

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.479
<v Speaker 3>X would save the world, and I realized that somewhat

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 3>self serving, as we are on the older end of

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 3>gen X. But gen X known for kind of a

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 3>cut the crap. Don't don't mess around with us, just

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 3>give us the straight scoop. Feel not terribly ideological.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.239
<v Speaker 4>I like you pitched us as not hippies, not uh

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 4>not not hippies on the one end, not needing coloring.

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Books and puppies to deal with bad news.

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 3>On the other end, right, just for goodness sakes, can

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 3>we can we speak plainly to each other. Is kind

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 3>of sort of and I've always mocked a generation thing,

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 3>but it's kind of sort of the feel of gen

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>X anyway. I love that with Scott Jennings essentially, And

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 3>this is my rallying cry today and probably for a

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 3>long time. Cut the crap, Scott is saying, cut the crap.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Obama deported lots and lots of people. You had nothing

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 3>to say, so cut the crap.

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 2>It's crap, all right, all right, thank you?

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 3>And then you know I've got all I've got a

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 3>million examples. You've got this stuff from the University of California, Davis,

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 3>which is advising the federal government on how to be

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.919
<v Speaker 3>a woke ally for the Alphabet Soup crew, and they

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 3>have stuff like, instead of saying someone was born a

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 3>boy or a girl, try saying they were as signed

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 3>male at birth. These terms recognize the difference between section

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 3>gender and emphasize the way in which section gender are

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 3>not binary or immutable. They can be chained. No, cut

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 3>the crap. A man can't become a woman because he

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>takes hormones. You start ovulating, call me back, all right,

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 3>then I'll concede you're a woman. Cut the crap. Thought

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.359
<v Speaker 3>this was brilliant from Gerard Baker. I'm gonna hit you

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.159
<v Speaker 3>with some of it. He's an opinion writer for mostly

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.920
<v Speaker 3>the Journal, but Jack jump in anytime you want, obviously,

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 3>and he talks about Trump's election is a bit of

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 3>an Emperor's new clothes moment for American maybe the rest

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 3>of the West, to an overdue recognition and repudiation of

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 3>the regime of oppressive insanity we've been subjected to for

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 3>a decade or more. I think everybody's saying, yeah, man,

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 3>well said, especially in blue states. And you know, I'm

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 3>gonna issue a battle cry toward the end of this.

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I understand you're working like is it gonna sound like that?

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot like that. Yeah.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe you're working at the infamous Uh you see

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Davis or Berkeley in California and you're like, dude, I

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 3>would love to fight against this stuff. But but but,

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 3>and so it's always with the caveat of uh, do

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 3>what you can. But I'll tell you this, I can

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 3>practically guarantee no matter where you work, you live, you

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 3>worship whatever, if you stand up to the crap and

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 3>you say cut the crap, you're going to see a

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 3>bunch of people, maybe a few, maybe a ton, are

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 3>going to say, yeah, what he said. They're just waiting

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 3>for someone to call the emperor on having no clothes anyway,

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 3>did your R.

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Baker's piece?

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 3>For a decade or more, Yeah, Even when Republicans have

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 3>been nominally in control, we've been led by peddlers of

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 3>a set of ideas that have clothed our institutions in

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 3>the country in social and political doctrines, fake claims, and

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 3>strictures that have inflicted untold harms. The fancy new items

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 3>of invisible attire that our nation's rulers have made us

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 3>wear for too long include these. The idea that people

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.920
<v Speaker 3>who have stolen into this country illegally should be showered

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.679
<v Speaker 3>with all the rights and benefits of citizens, that it

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 3>is immoral to deny them those rights, and that they

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 3>should instead be treated as victims of persecution and given

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 3>sanctuary in our crowded and fiscally strained cities.

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Call bullss on that that's ridiculous.

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 3>The idea that a nation that sits atop one of

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:51.639
<v Speaker 3>the greatest reservoirs of natural energy resources on Earth should

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 3>forcibly restrain itself from exploiting them to save the planet

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 3>on the basis of politicized science, while other countries are

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 3>free to do much more damage to the global environment.

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a good Gavin. Cut the crap. That's a good one.

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 3>At the risk of going off on this as I

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 3>did last hour, meaningless effectless gestures in the face of

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 3>all the other countries on Earth doing what they're doing.

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you were going to do some good,

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 3>come to the table with that argument. Say, yeah, we

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 3>got to risk damaging the economy and poor people are

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 3>going to stay poor, and inflation's gonna rise because energy

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 3>prices affect everything. But look that it's lowered emissions twenty

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 3>percent globally, except it hasn't hasn't done anything, So cut

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:40.920
<v Speaker 3>the crap. Here's another good one, the idea that after

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 3>a century and a half of progress in solving and

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 3>soothing America's original sin of racism and making the country

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 3>more equal, we are suddenly obliged to believe that America

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 3>is as oppressive.

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 2>As it was in sixteen nineteen, and that the.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Best way to write the past wrong of treating people

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 3>based on the color of their skin is to treat

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 3>people based on the color of their skin.

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>God, I hope that's over. I really hope that's over.

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 3>What we all hope for is those radicals just nasty people.

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 3>Don't have the juice to end your career anymore. Because

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 3>your management, your corporate godfathers are such cowards. They're not

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 3>going to stand up to the crap. It's easier to

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.200
<v Speaker 3>fire you, and they'll say on the way out. You know, Jim,

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm really sorry about this. I mean, it's really unfortunate

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 3>they don't have the balls to say because you said

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 3>nothing wrong, but these people are so mad. I'm gonna

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 3>capitulate to them, but that's what they're thinking, stand up

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 3>to it.

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm less optimistic on the illegal immigration part because I've

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 4>been fooled before. But on the trans and anti racist

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 4>and what was the other one I was going to

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 4>include in that it'll come to me.

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 3>But on a couple of those, is it possible? Oh,

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 3>the climate change? Is it possible.

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 4>We're on the other side of those, and we just all, unfortunately,

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 4>those of us of a certain age, just lived through

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 4>this really weird time. Yeah, we're things. People said all

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 4>kinds of crazy stuff and you had to.

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Go along with it.

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think we're at this stage of it where

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 3>the troops are rallied. Were aware, we're fired up. But

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 3>you got to remember the enemy is absolutely running our

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 3>nation's educational complex right now, and our media and entertainment.

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 3>But education is the most insidious part because they're indoctrinating

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 3>our kids. So, yeah, the battle has just begun. Here's

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 3>another great one, another one of these insane ideas that

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 3>we've been forced to pretend are not idiotic. The idea

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 3>that children should, without parental consultation or consent, be free

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 3>to choose their gender, be assisted by the state in

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 3>committing acts of self mutilation to do so, and all

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 3>on the understanding that we have repealed millennia of science

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 3>and just discovered there's no such thing as biological sex.

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Full ass, cut the crap.

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 4>I think that one is the biggest anchor around Gavin

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Newsom's neck if he tries to run for president, how's

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 4>he gonna how's he gonna deal with that.

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Expiring experimenting on and mutilating children because they're momentarily confused

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and adolescence.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 4>And Gavin signed in law the idea that the schools

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 4>can keep it a secret from you, so that in fact,

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 4>they must. How does how does he deal with that?

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 4>I want that's one of the reasons I want him

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 4>to run. I want him to be beaten like a

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 4>drum for these reasons, because it's important to defeat this crap.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a little more.

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 3>More of the Emperor's new clothes that people have just

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 3>been walking around silently, pretending they didn't notice or too

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 3>afraid to resist. The idea that democracy and freedom are

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 3>best protected by denying people the right to express certain

0:25:55.400 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 3>views that the authorities deem misinformation, and by weaponized the

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 3>law against political opponents lest they weaponize the law for

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 3>political purposes.

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one.

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 3>They're actually democrats out right now saying, hey, you know,

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 3>weaponizing law against candidates is probably a bad strategy, admitting

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 3>that that was the strategy. So ambitious elites in business

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 3>and civil society went along with these fictions. Politicians on

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 3>all sides, including Republicans, declined to dissent for fear.

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Of being called out.

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 3>And here's where Gerard Baker gives Trump a fair amount

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:33.959
<v Speaker 3>of credit. It took a man with some of the

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 3>instincts of a child, a political angenoux newcomer, lacking the

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 3>sophistication to participate in the sham, to call the whole

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 3>thing out for what it was. And then he makes

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 3>it clear that he's not like totally in on Trump

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 3>and his plans and his policies and the rest of it.

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 3>But for God's sake, we needed to call bulls on

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the bulls. But here's what I'm optimistic about. He says,

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 3>four years from now, there's a good chance that the

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 3>nonsense we have had to endure will be buried, that

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 3>important things will become normal again. It will have become

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 3>normal to tell people they have who have no right

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 3>to be here, that they must leave. That In the process,

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 3>people around the world will have been made to understand

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 3>that they don't have an automatic right to live in

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the freest, most prosperous country on earth. Then he goes

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 3>on the children. You know, I'm going to hit this

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 3>because it's one of my jihods. It will have become

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 3>normal again for children to be helped to respond to

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 3>the inevitable strains and traumas of growing up, not by

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 3>having their genitals cut out, but by receiving loving guidance,

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.360
<v Speaker 3>guidance and care from family and society.

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Got the crab I hope that's true. I hope that's true.

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's true.

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, but again, it's going to be longer and

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 3>harder battle than four years. Man the university system and

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 3>their influence on the elementary education system and secondary.

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a long, hard fight. But I'm

0:27:57.880 --> 0:27:58.879
<v Speaker 2>up for it. Are you?

<v Speaker 5>Jack Armstrong and Joe Gerty The Armstrong and Getty Show,

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 5>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Chris Ruffo, you know him, you love him?

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 3>With a great piece Why Boeing killed Dei and the

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 3>lead is the important part of reckoning is underway in

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 3>corporate America. You remember, after the death of George Floyd

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty, like every Fortune five hundred company launched

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 3>a diversity, equity and inclusion program with very serious faces

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 3>as they were running terrified from the Marxists who claimed

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 3>racial justice was their motivation. But now four short years later,

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 3>many companies are quietly acknowledging the failure of these initiatives,

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 3>in some cases winding them down. And Rufo has been

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 3>writing about Dei at Boeing for a while. He's got

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:01.959
<v Speaker 3>an inside source, well placed, high up, that described it

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 3>this way quote.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was really good.

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 3>DEI is the drop you put in the bucket and

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 3>the whole bucket changes. It is anti excellence, and because

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 3>it is ill defined, it becomes.

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Part of the culture.

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 4>That is some of the most evocative phrasing I've ever heard. Yeah,

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 4>the drop you put in the bucket and it changes

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 4>the whole bucket. That's interesting, folks.

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 3>You've become aware that the whole woke thing DEI anti

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 3>racism thing, you can't win. It's a constantly moving target.

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you say you're not a racist, you're a racist.

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 3>And if you say you're a racist, you're a racist.

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 3>But either way you shut up. We're in charge. There's

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 3>no way to win against the woke people. That's not

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 3>part of it. They're not talking to you to come

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 3>to an understanding. They're talking to you to rule you.

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 3>And more people are understanding that. And in the context

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 3>of Boeing, obviously you know the doors are falling off

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 3>your planes for instance. Yeah, early you know this month

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Boeing installed new CEO Kelly Ortberg, quietly dismantled the DEI

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 3>department and accepted the resignation of the office's vice president.

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 3>So Rufo reached out to the same insider to get

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 3>insight onto what happened and how it happened, and he says,

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 3>tell us what happened with DEI. It went from dominant

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 3>to extinct in a very short period of time. The

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 3>insider says, we're shifting from a company whose culture is

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 3>simply the average of corporate America to a distinct and

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 3>deliberate vision of leadership. The new boss wants Boeing focused

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 3>on being an airplane company with our own culture and vision.

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 3>The resulting cash crunch from the crunch from the strike

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 3>accelerated this culture shift. When you start to focus on

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 3>delivering value instead of preserving status, it becomes obvious what

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 3>drives value and it's not DI And then he gets

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 3>into he asked my senses that many executives are not

0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 3>genuinely committed to DEIS and ideology. They simply want to

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 3>build airplanes or create software, for instance, but they feel

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 3>social pressure to maintain these departments. Is that true at

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Boeing and if so, when did the calculus change? And

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 3>the answer is DEI is lazy thought leadership best practiced

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 3>by companies in smooth waters with margins large enough to

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 3>afford the associated inefficiency that isn't Boeing today When the

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 3>new boss prioritized results over fitting in with other CEOs,

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 3>it sends a strong signal to the culture and builds

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 3>trust because employees know the rules and it's clear how

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 3>to succeed through hard work and results. McKinsey's at the

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Consulting Group now debunked analysis was the standard driver in

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 3>corporate boardrooms. But even if DEI has to defend itself

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 3>on purely logical grounds, it doesn't stand up. Boeing more

0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 3>than anything, needs an aligned workforce focused on building airplanes.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 3>And it's an easy decision to reject the divisive and

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 3>US centric language of DEI in favor of unified vision

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 3>for a diverse global company. Anyway, I thought that that

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 3>was really good just as a description of how it works.

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 4>INDI could go away under a Trump administration, which won't

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 4>be you know, working to push that on corporate America,

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Whereas if the Kamala Harris administration, there would have been

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 4>so much pressure on all these companies to continue that

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 4>or add it if they hadn't already.

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, and it's it's a bludgeon again. It's not about

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 3>racial justice or any of the things that claims to

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 3>be about. Like in jackscenario, which is a good one.

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 3>The Harris administration wanted Boeing to suddenly, you know, unionize

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 3>its last three facilities or something like that. Well, then

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 3>they could hammer them with DEI stuff or through their

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 3>DEI executives and get them on their knees begging for

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 3>mercy because they were being accused of racism. It's the

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 3>old Jesse Jackson operation push blackmail scam. You don't want

0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 3>racial justice, you want something else, but you use claims

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 3>of racial injustice to get there. It's the race hustler thing. Anyway,

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was good too. From the National Review,

0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Lathan Watts. DEI is a corporate bust, and he starts

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 3>about the He starts with the wild overreaction to the

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 3>death of George Floyd and how all the corporations were terrified,

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 3>and how Robbie Starbuck, the filmmaker, has been using sunlight

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 3>as the best disinfectant, and he's brought failed policies that

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 3>are legally questionable and highly unpopular with consumers to the

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 3>attention the general public and the shareholders of these corporations.

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 3>As a result, some of the best known brands in

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 3>the country have hastily canceled their DEI programs and cut

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 3>ties with the far left Human Rights Campaign, which pressures

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 3>companies to do things like cover sex hormones and puberty

0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 3>blockers for miners. Wow, monstrous Nazia like experiments on children

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 3>to cover that stuff and their insurance plan. Wow yeah yeah,

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 3>And I thought this was interesting. Unwilling to let the

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 3>practical failure of a policy distract from the political fervor,

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 3>forty nine members of Congress, keeping in mind their four

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred and thirty five of these geeks, spurred on signed

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 3>an open letter to Fortune one thousand businesses demanding that

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:09.320
<v Speaker 3>they doubled down on DEI. But these companies have recently

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 3>received two more open letters encouraging them to hold the

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 3>line in favor of healthy ROI return on investment over

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 3>feeble DEI ideology.

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:24.440
<v Speaker 4>I like that slogan, AREI not DEI for the companies

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 4>I want to invest in?

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 3>I love that the second of those two letters came

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 3>from seventeen state treasurers and other financial officials State of

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 3>financial officials who are responsible for the gigantic state investment

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 3>vehicles that hold billions of dollars in ownership positions in

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 3>these companies for their retirees and that sort of thing.

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 3>And unlike the partisan gamesmanship paraphrasing the piece of the

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:55.240
<v Speaker 3>National Review here where the forty nine Congress geeks liberal

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:59.240
<v Speaker 3>CULTI jackasses are saying, you've got to double down on DII,

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 3>these people a saying, hey, we don't have the luxury

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:06.439
<v Speaker 3>of you and your virtue signaling crap which you run

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 3>your company for efficiency, please not to please AOC. And

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 3>so it's good to see you. Remember it was what

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:17.239
<v Speaker 3>a year ago I started saying. And all DEI programs

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:22.280
<v Speaker 3>now wherever they exist, and it's happening in spades. Hurrah, hourrah,

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 3>better for black people, better for white and Hispanic people. People,

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 3>in short, go get them awesome. The tide shure turned

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:34.320
<v Speaker 3>on that whole thing fast. Yeah, although it is still

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 3>monstrous in academia, media, Hollywood, and government in government itself, friends,
