<v Speaker 1>the country, snubbing us, giving us the middle finger, if

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you will.

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.040

<v Speaker 3>He spoken Italian, Latin, and Spanish, but not English.

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm prepared to pronounce him an America hater and turn

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 1>against him immediately. Why waste time?

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 2>If necessary? Always the age.

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Of hyperbole, keyboard warriors and saying horrifying things about people,

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>thinking nobody will ever know who you are. So yes,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I've turned on him seriously, speaking of the modern world,

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get to cal of the week in just

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a second or two. We got this follow up note

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>in reference to our previous conversation from Rich in San Francisco,

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>who addresses it to you, Sarah, Jack. I downloaded chat

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>GPT a week ago and was blown away. I asked

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>it to write a short story about a boy bullied

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>at school. It was the most beautiful, tender story I've

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>ever read. It made me cry. Oh my god, then

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I asked it to write a novel, and now we

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>have a full collaborative relationship writing my novel together. I

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>am a recovering person like you, with an addictive personality.

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I just found a new drug and I'm really scared.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I wondered about, not not so much

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 3>being addicted to is just.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So many different ways to make that a giant part

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>of your life.

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>How interesting to be alive at the sunset of humanity?

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Huh yeah?

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, here's your interesting to be raising.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm a old girl about how interesting to

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>be raising kids to send out into this world. Yeah,

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>hoping they can have a long life.

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey son, you should dedicate to all of your time

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and energy to acquiring an education and then after that

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>into a particular field which may then disappear in the

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>blink of an eye. Good luck, go get them. Among

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>other issues, never mind the emotional human connection ones we

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>were discussing earlier. All right, quick prediction, then we'll do cow.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Does humankind adjust to this? No? Okay, moving along, it's

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>time for the Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.200

<v Speaker 2>We like that.

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll say this as well. You can have that.

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.080

<v Speaker 5>years old, needs to have thirty dollars.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.560

<v Speaker 2>see what.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Happens to me. Having met with the owners of Canada

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>It sort of represents something that's both horrible and beautiful

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and strong and miserable.

<v Speaker 1>It's basically the minor league gang for trenda Ragway.

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>This is made up of kids.

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 3>While a large crowd of protesters gathered outside near the campus,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>where they clashed with New York City police.

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 7>but the jet ended up falling off the end of

<v Speaker 6>After six decades leading Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett said he'll

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 6>step down as CEO.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Come on up this time. At least one hundred flights

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.799
<v Speaker 1>have been canceled today. I discuss told that proach lost

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 1>all the radars.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Three of the four radar screens were blocking. And it's

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>because of Trump and Doge.

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 5>If there's any place where Trump chaos can really cause

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 5>loss of life, it's at the FAA.

<v Speaker 3>they say invited others into his bedroom.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>So you got thirty two million followers, so you're one

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of the most followed people.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 7>See wait now, right now, you're not going to take

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 7>inches off my back, bro.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought you're talking about the five what.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 6>Ring?

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 3>We had that clip of Kanye in there. We played

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 3>a little of the new Kanye music. Was that on

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 3>the show yesterday? The podcast?

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But podcast?

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 3>One more thing that was on the show anyway, My

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>son and I were listening a little bit of a

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 3>couple of tracks that are available. Most of the streaming

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 3>services won't air his weird hitler song, so it's hard

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 3>to find.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Why not.

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 3>One song called Cousins. I said, I haven't heard this.

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 3>When I started, my son said, don't listen to it.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 3>It's too disturbing. I said, I think I'll be okay.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm sixty, but it was. It was pretty out there.

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 3>What was the theme generally speaking, It's kind of hard

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 3>to tell, but just you know, just a mishmash of disturbing,

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>kind of like is another one, the World War III

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>song about getting off Twitter and reading mind comp and

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 3>just all kinds of craziness. But the music part is great.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's really really good. Sounds great in my truck.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 3>These are odd times. What flavor are we looking for

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>this hour, final hour of the week. It's Friday. We

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 3>could certainly have some fun. We got wacky clips from

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 3>around the country. Air traffic being odd and unexpected things. Yes, sir,

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.799
<v Speaker 3>air Traffic Control in Newark is reporting another radar outage.

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 3>The latest disruption one of the busiest airports in America

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 3>happened again today briefly, So that's got to get nailed

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 3>down that whole thing before summer travel season.

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, indeed, a couple of stories from America's metropolitan

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>areas I found interesting Midwest cities. Downtown is now mad

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Max style hell hole where locals are scared to go

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>out after eight pm. Talking about fabulous Kansas City, Missouri,

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>it's become a hotspot for legal street racing, reckless ATV

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>M and I'm sorry ATV and dirt bike riders tearing

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>through neighborhoods, side shows, that sort of thing, the riding

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>electric dirt bikes and.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 3>That sort of stuff. That's just that's everywhere. My son

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 3>watches those YouTube videos all the time. I don't know

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 3>if they're gonna crack down then then or what.

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, yeah, well I'll be in the woods watching the squirrels.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Cavort society crumbles. But said David Lopez, local business owner,

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a race issue, it's not a political issue.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>This is a safety issue. I feel as though this

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>city is about as unsafe as it's been since my

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>family's been. And he gives his address and that's forty

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>five years this September.

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>That's too bad.

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>When things out of your control start to chip away,

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>at the very foundation of what you've done for four generations.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>It hurts, he says, people are gonna leave. That's it.

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>We have been on in Kansas City for years.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>The Armstrong and Getty shown are very proud to be

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and I used to live there and I worked radio

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 3>in Kansas City many many, many years ago before Joe

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>and I even got together.

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>But I love Kansas City. I didn't love it more.

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Did they have a policy change, did they do one

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>of those woke da.

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Things, or what's going on there? You know, that's an

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>excellent question. I ought to dig into it, and certainly

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Kansas Citians, if you'd like to drop us a note

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and give us your take on it, love to hear it.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I lived on the Kansas side, not the god forsaken

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Missouri side.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Democrat Mayor Quinin Lucas pictured after his blah

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. There are suggestions in this article to what

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>extent it's a full description of the situation that suggested, Yes,

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>it's typical Democrat blue city policies, particularly post George Floyd,

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that have given people the license to go out and

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>do whatever they want and the cops are pulling back.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 3>How in the hell does this continue to catch on places?

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the the inability to connect policy with result is

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed as

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 1>an observer of politics and culture. Even without that, what

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is your upbringing, life, education, your education, that might be it,

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But what is leading you to your concern?

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Is there just too many people in jail? I never

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 3>think that I'm a worried that there are too many

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 3>people in jail.

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you if you've ever been to a prison

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>or you know seen them, you understand their start in

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>depressing places, A bunch of people who made really bad

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>decisions and I'm glad they're locked up. Well I'm getting there.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so I could see people think he is

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>terrible how many people we have in prison? But for

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the thought not to even occur to you, Well, we

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>have laws and they broke them. That is that is

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a person I would like studied at the university level.

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>And actually, you know, it's a pretty good personage of

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the American people who don't even well, perhaps it's folks

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>who have been con evinced by their government, schools and

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>universities that well, the only reason those people are incarcerating

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>is because of systemic racism drove them to make desperate choices,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's all about tearing down Western civilization, which my

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Marxist professors have convinced me is completely honest or I'm sorry,

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>completely necessary in my women's queer gender Hispanic studies classes

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>or what have.

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Critical women's gender studies queer?

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I said queer twice classes. Yeah, I blew off class

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>way too much. I didn't pick up all of Lengo.

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>But now that reminds me, where is that soul quote?

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>A ton of soul? Kicked off the show with this?

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 1>More or less today, there have always been ignorant people,

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 1>but they haven't always had a college degree to make

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>them unaware of their ignorance. Some people imagine that they

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>are well informed because they have memorized a whole galaxy

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of trendy dogmas and fashionable attitudes. That is a really

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>good description of the modern college education in a lot

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of places. You engineers, leaving you out of the discussion.

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You chemists, you're actually getting taught with you you ought

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to be learning at least, I hope man.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad there's some really smart people out there fighting

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 3>back about this stuff that are smart enough to like

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 3>and take the time to really like delineate the argument

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 3>the way who's our favorite guy, Like the way James

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Lindsay does. I mean he'll take the time to do

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 3>the research to really you know, and just say, oh,

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 3>shut up, the way I kind of do.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>When I hear that crap.

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 3>He actually breaks it all down and explains why it

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make sense.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, And it's so important that people understand and and

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the best way to get started understanding it, I think

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is at least to read the first handful of chapters

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>of Lindsey and pluck Rose's book Cynical Theories, because attracts

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the origin of the critical theory thing, which is like

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>at the at the root of all the stuff we're

0:11:55.440 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 1>talking about. How it started, how it was described as

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a strategy to capture institutions, to take them over and

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 1>bend them to the purposes of neomarxism. As I've said

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>many times, these people wrote books, their names are on

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the spine. They're proud of it. They told us exactly

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>what they wanted to do. But when somebody like me

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 1>or James Lindsay or Jack or whoever is trying to

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>describe this. The left says, all listen to the crazy,

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>paranoid conspiracy theorists, and a lot of people, even those

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>like steeped in all this crap. They're unaware of what

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking about. Because the great con is

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>it's sold as a moral philosophy and not as a

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>tool of takeover in the name of neomarxism. It's sold

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>as hey, look, black people are belieguered. Are you an

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 1>anti racist or are you a racist? People think, well,

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a racist, I must be an anti racist.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Tell me what I should do, Tell me what I

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>should say? Oh, wise, overlords, and they have no idea

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what they're participating in. I don't remember if it was

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a ute video or podcast or what. But his whole

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>why two plus two equals five is dangerous? That one

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>was so interesting in the history of that and the

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>pushback and the people that push.

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>It, it's it's wild.

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 3>We got a bunch on the way, like why is

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Milania only spent fourteen days at the White House?

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 2>What's going on there? Almong other things there?

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, you guys, this weekend is Mother's Day. That's right,

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 5>And already if people are sending some heartfelt messages. For instance,

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.719
<v Speaker 5>President Trump said I can't wait to celebrate Mother's Day

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 5>with my beautiful wife and an incredible mother, Milania, and

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 5>then former President Obama said I'd like to send a

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 5>happy Mother's Day wish to the amazing mother of my

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 5>two children, Michelle.

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>That's sweet.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 5>And finally, Elon Muss said, Happy Mother's Day to my

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 5>kids amazing moms Alice, Jessica and Linda Harley, Meghan, Sarah

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Sarad and eighty six more than I'm sending scratch.

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Off took Street. Oh my, oh my.

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 3>So speaking of Milania, she's only been stayed the night

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 3>at the White House fourteen times so far, which is

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>not very often compared to most first ladies.

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 3>It might just be as she's raising Baron away from

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 3>the spotlight of the White House. I mean, he's a

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 3>college kid now, but he's going to Isn't he going

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 3>to school in New York?

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he is.

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, Maybe I have a feeling that's part of it.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>And she doesn't really have any interest in politics, and

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>she has thoroughly read her I'm a crazy hot model

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>who married a billionaire contract and has has noticed a

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>clause forty four C, which says you don't have to

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>spend as much time as arm candy after a year

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. Well, Michelle, however long they've been together.

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Michelle Obama's been pretty open lately about how much she

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 3>hated it there. She's probably thinking, I wish I'd have

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 3>done that. A lot of.

0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>First families have that same reaction, that same feeling. It

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>sounds like it is definitely something you would do to

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>your family. Oh yeah, it's an enormous sacrifice by those

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>poor people. Whatever party you were talking about, whatever.

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 3>President, No kidding, just running. I don't even know how

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 3>you present that to your wife or husband. Here's what

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 3>we'll do. We'll make everything we've ever done or said

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 3>with everyone we've ever known in our lives a national topic.

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Here we go.

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>What percentage of the First ladies of the last say,

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy five years were also political beasts? Hillary was obviously, yeah,

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and Jill Biden obviously to the point of mania, trotting

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to pour senile husband out for profit and power. You

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>know you did such a great job.

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 7>You answered every question.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>That was after the disastrous senility debate. She said that.

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, what a nut.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all of tales from around the country. Oh my gosh,

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>we have no time. Humh. Let me give you the

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>gist and then we will pay off. On the other

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 1>side of a very short and informative commercial break, here's

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>one state going absolutely in the wrong direction. Prosecutors in

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota's largest county, Woke, Woke, Minneapolis, are now being instructed

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to take race into consideration when you're giving out sentences

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>or recommending sentences or prosecuting people.

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>That's not racist at all.

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>No, indeed, that's not at all unconstitutional, except that it's

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>completely blatantly in black and white unconstitutional. But what but

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of many jokes, what state, the punchline to many jokes,

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>has completely turned around their educational system? And how did

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>they do it? There's an old saying, thank God for

0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi because you might be forty ninth in this, that

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>or the other, but you're probably not gonna be in

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>last place in American states because thank God for Mississippi.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi has staged a hell of a turnaround. I want

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to tell you about it.

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Among other things. On the way, stay.

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 6>Here, armstrong and geddy.

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>What is this?

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 4>I have never seen anything like that in my life,

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 4>and appears that little black stuff has falling down the

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 4>center of it. Tell me that is not freaking weird.

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea. I've been recording it. It was

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 4>a dark black circle, and now it's dissipating.

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it looks like somebody blew a big old.

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 6>Smokering a congregation the bird.

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's what I thought, because it looked like everything

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 4>was falling through the center. But now it's just like

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.199
<v Speaker 4>totally dissipating. But I ain't never seen nothing like that

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 4>in my life. I hadn't pull over recording.

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>What the heck was that, Katie.

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 8>That was a guy who was driving in Kansas and

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 8>there was this giant black ring of Again, people thought

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.199
<v Speaker 8>it might have been birds. They didn't know what it was,

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 8>but it was a rangement.

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Pope got a new pope. Sure, nothing to think about.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, apparently scientists are claiming that it was man made.

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 8>But it looked like a giant It looked like someone

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 8>blew a giant black smoke ring into the sky.

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>That freaky out, Yeah, and then he laughed like his

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>soul had become uninjured.

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 8>That was my favorite part of the clip was his laugh.

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.679
<v Speaker 8>He was so amused by this, and people were pulling

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 8>over to talk to him, and he's on his motorcycle.

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Just look it up. Cool.

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>That was a bizarre laugh at the end. Anyway, I'm disturbed.

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>So you think, Jack, your theory is at least this

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>is what I've taken from your comments, that the new

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 1>pope is actually evil and God Almighty was sending us

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.639
<v Speaker 1>a sign but missed by a couple of states and

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>sent it to Kansas instead of Illinois.

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not, but it's a good working theory, I suppose.

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So, just getting back briefly to the Minnesota story, you

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 1>got the prosecutor in Hennepin County, which is where Minneapolis is,

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and oh my gosh. You know, well, I won't go

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:18.719
<v Speaker 1>off on the tangent. I'll wait. But this this woman,

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>what's her first name, Mary Moriarty, full on woke Marxist

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>prosecutor of the George Gascone variety and the others. She

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>became Hennepin County's top prosecutor January twenty three after receiving

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.719
<v Speaker 1>donations from a group link to of course megodowner George Soros.

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 1>She's the same gal who declined to charge that state

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.199
<v Speaker 1>employee who was caught on video vandalizing Tesla cars right

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and costing more than twenty thousand dollars.

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 2>In damage, which is just unbelievable.

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, shouldn't we easier two thousand dollars in damage,

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:56.479
<v Speaker 1>no charges?

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Shouldn't it be easier to remove those people?

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>He has come under scrutiny for repeatedly refusing to prosecute

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>accused rapists and killers. According to The New York Post, U, I.

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Mean, you're by definition not doing your job.

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand how it's not easier to remove them,

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 3>recall them, or impeach them or whatever.

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 2>You're well right, state.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Allows, And so the reason we brought this up in

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the last segment was they had she had announced a

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 1>policy that they would take race into consideration with charging

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>decisions and sentencing decisions and all sorts of stuff. Spokesperson

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office defended Mori Alreaties directive

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>telling local TV station quota defendants race matters because we

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>know unaddressed, unconscious biases lead to racial disparities, which is

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.360
<v Speaker 1>an unacceptable outcome. A constitutional law professor at the University

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of Minnesota. Jill has Day said the policy will likely

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>be overturned by the Supreme Court and accused the progressive

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>prosecutor of writing it ambiguously to skirt constitutional issues. M

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 1>m uh and and she goes into a description of

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the writing of it. But that's just crazy.

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 2>What was that that thing at the beginning there? The

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>uh any outcome that.

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh that I just read. Yeah, defendant's race matters, because

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>we know unaddressed, unconscious biases lead to racial disparities, and.

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 3>That's the only way you could end up with unequal

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.919
<v Speaker 3>amounts of percentages of people in jail.

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, disproportionate, Yeah, incarceration of say, black men. Yeah,

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>that's that's it. That's the only possible explanation. So that

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 1>is interesting, to say the least. I really wanted to

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>get to how woke Colorado's become. Maybe next week we'll

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about it, among other things. Oh and the tangent

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that I disciplined myself for once not to go off

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>on you. Remember I brought to your attention the gal

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in the Minneapolis area Hennepin County who had dropped an

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 1>N bomb end bombs on a kid in a park

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 1>and then various right wing ye folks raised a tremendous

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 1>amount of money for her. I mean, like getting close

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to a million dollars, maybe over a million dollars now, Matt.

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Walsh, because she had been docked. I mean, she got

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 3>her life pretty ruined. I mean, you know, she did

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 3>something really awful. But in the modern world, you lose

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 3>your job anyway, and then you then you donate money

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 3>because you don't think, I don't know, it's complicated.

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it is, and it's even more complicated than I thought.

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Matt Walsh Conservative provocateur has written a really interesting piece

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 1>about the situation in her part of Minnesota, that being

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Biden and Minnesota's policies have completely changed the face of

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>these towns in a very few years, and they are

0:22:56.760 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 1>now just there are any many, many thousands of Somali refugees,

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 1>recent immigrants to our land, some legal, some illegal, and

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>how they have imported to a large degree the Somali culture,

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>which includes a rampant corruption and theft, and that a

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are completely at the end of their

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>ropes because their town has gone from idyllic midwestern Minneapolis

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>area town to crime ridden hellhole and there's no reason

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to drop an enbomb on a kid. No, but thievery

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>is rampant apparently, and this kid was rooting through her

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>bag and she lost her mind.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Man, I don't know where I am on this because

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Matt wallsh we've liked a lot of his stuff before.

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.639
<v Speaker 3>He and James Lindsay, who I referenced earlier and I

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 3>like a lot of his stuff, are locked in a

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 3>quite angry battle over this whole thing. I mean, like

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 3>vicious on this specific topic. Scific topic. Yes, oh boy,

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.159
<v Speaker 3>going on looking a week or longer. Yeah, it's it's something.

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't Yeah. Interesting, I mean I can

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>see both sides, but I'll have to see what James

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>has to say about it. Uh. There are plenty of

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>people I like very much and respect a great deal.

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Who you know about ten, maybe even twenty percent of

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:27.479
<v Speaker 1>the time, I think, Nope, you're wrong, But I'll look

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 1>into it. It's interesting on the good news front for once,

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this is an amazing story, so amazing that I want

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to dig a little bit more. The skeptic in me

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>has been aroused. I do I mean sexually, I mean

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 1>good skepticism.

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 3>I I think glad you brought that up. Well, I

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 3>was afraid you were going to make an idiotic joke.

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Frankly now about you being aroused sexually? You okay, all right?

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Well what hell? Oh, don't not get till you've tried

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 3>it anyway.

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Ah.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Painting the Deep Who am I quoting here? This is

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 1>so well written. Daily does good job, a good work

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 1>for the free press. Painting the Deep South it is

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>as an embarrassing cultural backwater is one of the last

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>socially acceptable forms of prejudice among elites. It's not just tolerated,

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it's venerated. Mississippi target Let's see, you know about the

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>poor health outcomes, the poverty, the corruption, the obesity, the

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Confederacy stuff.

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>The Confederacy. Oh my god.

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Wikipedia has an entry dedicated the phrase thank God for

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi because its horrible performance on so many metrics saves

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>other states from the embarrassment of finishing last.

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I've only driven around Mississippi. I did well.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 3>One of my last areas of the country that I

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 3>ever got to, as I've driven around all forty eight

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 3>contiguous states was the South and Alabama and Mississippian those areas,

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:50.200
<v Speaker 3>uh one vacation.

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Just loved it.

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I just loved everything about it, just the way the

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 3>towns looked, and the roads and the people and the

0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 3>food and just everything I thought was fantastic.

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I've never lived there.

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there is a lot to love, definitely, including this.

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi has become the fastest improving school system in America.

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi is taking names and knows how to spell them.

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>In twenty oh three, only the District of Columbia had

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>more fourth graders in the lowest achievement level on our

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>National Reading test than Mississippi. Only DC was worse.

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 2>How does that and not get more attention?

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 1>By last year only four states did better.

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.879
<v Speaker 3>Wow, Now they didn't just lower their standards, did they,

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 3>California style?

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I need to look into this. When the Urban Institute

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>adjusted national test results for student demographics, and I will

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>click on that and check into that. In a second,

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi ranked fourth grade math, first, fourth grade reading, first

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 1>eighth grade math, first eighth grade reading fourth and again,

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to check into the validity of this. And

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I know how because the skeptic in me thinks,

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>did you change standards in a significant way or what?

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>But I will tell you this. They decided we are

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>going to focus on core educational principles. That's what we teach, reading, writing, arithmetic,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>No flabby stuff, no optional stuff. We are just going

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 1>to devote all of our time and energy in too

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>making sure these kids can do the basic stuff.

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Am I crooked letter, crooked letter, I crooked letter, crooked letter?

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I ipply? Yeah? Yeah. More often they have been sloppy

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>attempts at debunking Mississippi's success. Some of them ran a

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 1>national papers, others were withdrawn when the authors realized they

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>were based on flawed information. There are lessons for our

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>education community and for both political parties.

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's that. I like that.

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 3>That would be a great once again laboratory of democracy

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 3>experiment where they focused on the basics which we've been

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:06.919
<v Speaker 3>saying for a long time, and left out all the

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 3>other crap. It reminds me of the thing Katie sent

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 3>us the other day that in is it Boise, Idaho,

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 3>where they just voted to somehow get around the law.

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 3>How did that whole thing work, Katie?

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 8>They Yeah, they found some loophole in the law where

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.639
<v Speaker 8>now the state capitol will permanently display the Pride flag

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 8>because they'd passed a law that you could only have

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 8>the state or county flags.

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Official flag, official official flag.

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's something Trump's been pushing at the federal level.

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 8>And Boise is a blue dot in a sea of

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 8>red and everyone is pissed except for the college down.

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 3>And they found a way to include the pride flag

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 3>in the official flags second flag. And I just bring

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 3>it up because that's the sort of stuff that's happening

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 3>in a lot of schools where they they jam in

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 3>all this, like in a whole month worth of pride

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 3>stuff in the middle of all you're schooling.

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, So here's the detail I needed. This adjustment

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of scores. Demographically, what they're doing is comparing apples to apples,

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>kids to kids and separating how you instead of having

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>an overall score, how did you do among affluent kids,

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>middle class kids, poverty stricken kids. And Mississippi is doing

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>beautifully compared to a lot of other places on kids

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in poverty. Mississippi just has so many kids in poverty

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it makes their scores look bad like it's quote unquote

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a dumb state when they're doing pretty heroic work with

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a sort of kids who would do miserably worse in

0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>more affluent states. With fewer poverty stricken kids. Interesting, Yeah,

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it is interesting. I would never want to dumb things

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>down and say, well they're poor kids, so that's good enough,

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 1>which is the tendency on the left. But now I

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>get the methodology and why it's at least a decent idea.

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 3>So I got a little warning I would throw out

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 3>to you if you're thinking of getting a Tesla, and

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 3>you probably weren't, but I'm on number three and I

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 3>got rear ended a couple about a month or so ago,

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 3>if you remember that in my cyberbeast, and so I

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 3>took it in to get a fixed yesterday, and I

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 3>learned something you need to know before you ever consider

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 3>buying a Tesla, or maybe even in any other electric cars.

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but anyway, that and other stuff will

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 3>finish strong next.

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 2>So this makes me stupid, but this is the way

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I did it. So I bought.

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm on my third Tesla that I've had. I never

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 3>paid attention to what the car insurance was. Really I

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 3>just said, whatever it is that this is the car

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get. I gotta pay it. I mean, you know,

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 3>I chose the deductible and all that sort of stuff,

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 3>But the car insurance on Tesla's is insane.

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean absolutely insane.

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 3>And so I got into that conversation with the guy

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 3>yesterday because I got real ended about a month ago

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 3>and my brand new Cyberpiecet and it took it in

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 3>to get it fixed, and it's gonna be like eight

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars for this minor bit of damage. Part of

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 3>the reason it's so expensive to repair these things. And

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 3>I just wonder if all cars are going to be

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 3>going this direction as technology gets more and more and

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 3>more complicated. Any very few shops can work on a

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Tesla because you have to be certified from the person

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 3>who answers the phone and every single tech. You just

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 3>can't have one tech that knows how to work on Tesla.

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has to be fully certified. You have to have

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 3>all the tools, everything like that. The reason for that

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 3>is Elon and Tesla's on the hook for if anything

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 3>happens with the automotive automatic driving thing, if anything goes wrong,

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 3>so you get any kind of dent or anything like that,

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 3>they got to make sure that didn't damage any sensor

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 3>or anything so that it doesn't cause a crash, you know,

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 3>and on the hook for a billion dollars or it

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 3>ruins the whole thing.

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:31:54.520 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 3>And so for that reason, it's really expensive, Like I mean,

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 3>you should look into it if you think and you're

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna save money because you're not buying gas. There's no

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 3>way you're gonna come out ahead with what insurance costs.

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>And I just wonder if all vehicles are gonna go

0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 3>that way. Do you think the whole like self driving

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 3>thing is gonna become like pretty much every car will

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 3>have them.

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Yeah, it's gonna be damn expensive to fix a

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 1>certain level of expense. Yeah, I you know, I don't

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>have a test lab. I have a car with a

0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>fair number of sensors and ability to do this, that

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and the other. And I was told the first time

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of the windshield crack, that'll be X dollars and I

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>said what they said, Yeah, we got to replace all

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the sensors. And is for that reason it's liability again, Well,

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and probably a good idea because I don't want to die.

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know Fiery crash Jack's.

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 9>Got quips that'll leave you with stitches. Joe's Hot Tix

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 9>mixed the ridges with glitches.

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Say no, Somber farewell, my friend.

0:32:58.000 --> 0:33:03.920

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:05.640

<v Speaker 3>That I don't like to have this taste in my

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:28.560

<v Speaker 1>Speaking for myself, I have tears in my eyes. That

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>song was that bad.

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:07.200

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just afraid they're going to go by the waystside.

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, the creative people will still exist, you just won't

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 3>be able to make any money off of it.

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:23.680
