4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: The question is, is are APEX goals shaped by the

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: goals of the Israeli government to any extent?

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a.

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Really simple lobbying on behalf of It's a simple question,

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: that is ape Are APEX goals shaped by the goals

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: of the Israeli government?

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna ask you a question straightforwardly. And

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: if you say no, I think we both know that's

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: not true. Hey, are they shaped by is that?

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: It is?

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Are they coordinating with the Israeli government? Are they talking? Directing?

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: That?

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: What you want to talk about? Farah? The law on

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: lobbying on behalf of someone? It is I hire you,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: and you lobby on behalf of me? I direct you?

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Does Israel direct APEC know they are not lobbying on

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: behalf of them? Do they care about them? Yes?

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson in one of his less unfair grillings of

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz, there an interview we discussion we featured yesterday

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 4: on the show.

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we played a lot of it. Yeah. Interesting.

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: As much as we've admired Tucker through the years, he's

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 4: he's become a forceful advocate for something I'm sure exactly what.

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: He's one of the most unfair arguers in the history

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: of arguing. And Jack discussing that yesterday offered to argue

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: like Tucker Carlson and it was a tour to force

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 4: nineteen Michael. He senses when you are at all a

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: rhetorical threat to you, and that's when he employs his

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 4: various trickeries.

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean by threat if you're just threatening me?

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing? No, No, is that what

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: you're doing? Threat? Well, you just said threat? Would you

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: like to rewind the tape? And by the way, why

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: are you being so defensive all of a sudden, gotten

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: very very defensive? And I just wonder it must I

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: must have hit a hot spot with you or something

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: to be so defensive and then to threaten me.

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: Jack arguing like Tucker Carlson.

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a Tangents are the key. You want

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to drive someone crazy. You're trying to have a conversation

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: about a particular topic, and Tucker takes it off into

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: left field and he bates people into like defending something

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: that they weren't even wanting to talk about.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: Important, Right, he bates them into defending his twisted version

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: of what they're saying.

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we just called a fleazy feline.

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: Oh that's out of bounds. Right there, we're told this

51
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: is very amusing. Let's find out together. It's a comedian

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: Ami Kozak Tucker Carlson versus Tucker Carlson, which number twelve?

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 5: Michael, didn't you support Donald Trump? Of course I did, Yes,

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 5: I can't paign for him. And you know he's been

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 5: very pro Israel. He supports Israel. Doesn't that mean by

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 5: extension you support his role?

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: Why does that? It doesn't mean that at all? Like

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: at all? Why don't you support Donald Trump if he

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: supported his roll? Why would you do that?

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: I don't see why you would do that if it's

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 5: against your values as an American?

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what do you what do you want?

63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you support your candidate who probably supports is Roe.

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: I would think you was supported his roll.

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: Why would you support a candidate's supports is Roel If

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: you don't support his wrong, why would you contradict yourself? Well,

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 5: not as much as you're contradicting yourself. I mean, it's

68
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 5: speaking on both sides of your mouth. I mean, do

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: you have two moules?

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't. Well, there's two miles you're talking. But once

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I's being consistent one size now and then they explode.

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: Like the clip we played yesterday where Ted Cruz mentions

73
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: a Bible verse that like is one of his guiding

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: principles and Tucker says, you know, where where is it

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: in the Bible? Ted's a I don't remember, But you

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: don't know what you're so you're guiding philosophy. You don't

77
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: know where in the Bible that is. I mean, so

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: like that sort of thing. Yeah, right, I we're through here.

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: But I see what you're doing. No, no, no, yeah.

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: You can't even cite the chapter. What's the context it's in?

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: What the chapter of the Bible?

82
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: The Bible? I don't know. You don't even know the context.

83
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: So you take a random verse from the Bible out

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: of context, and you based your entire world view on it.

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: My entire world view it you just said it? What Wait,

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: you don't know the population of Iran? How could you

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: possibly want to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon?

88
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: When you don't know the population. Yeah, yep, yep. Well.

89
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: In other news, an appeals court has let Trump keep

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: control of the California National Guard troops in LA, quickly

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 4: overturning the San Francisco hippie judges in defensible decision the

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: other day saying, we conclude it as likely that the

93
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 4: President lawfully exercise statutory authority.

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: And have had it. Does that doesn't the whole LA

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: riots thing. So it was last Saturday that I drove

96
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: through Los Angeles to take my son to the boy

97
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: Scout camp and I'm picking him up tomorrow, and it

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: was all the talk and I was like, what is

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: it going to be like at the protests and the

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: no kings? That seems like that was six years ago. Yeah,

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: it was six days ago. Yeah, their ace of news

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: and what's important is just it's too much to handle, right,

103
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: no kidding.

104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: And there's still unrest and there will be more demonstrations

105
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: and violence, you know at some point.

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: I'm not in the mood today, but some of the

108
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 4: poll numbers coming out about Americans' willingness to see law

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: abiding illegal immigrants rounded up and set out sent out

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: is not high.

111
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, then you better change the law because the

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: losses that they need to go.

113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I called earlier the Armstrong doctrine, which is

114
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: logically absolutely correct, but there's not the will to make

115
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: it happen.

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: Okay, you can't get far enough down that road. Hey

117
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: find that. I want a list of the other federal

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: laws we get to ignore. Oh yeah, yeah, I agree

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: with you completely. All right.

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: I'm just politics is the art of the possible jack,

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: and I'm telling you, judging by what I see, it's

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: not going to be possible to push it as far

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: as you're talking about, even though that's a great idea.

124
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: Want to hear my favorite headline from today? Yeah, there

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: are many good ones, but I like this one. Pope

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth has many famous cousins, including Madonna, Justin Bieber,

127
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: and Moore. Why does why is the pope cousins with

128
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: the Madonna, Justin Bieber and Moore? What why is that?

129
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm not cousins with anybody famous that you know of.

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 4: It's probably a distant cousin thing.

131
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll bet you're right. Somebody did some sort

132
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: of twenty three and me thing. And like, if you

133
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: go far enough out We're all related to Madonna at.

134
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 4: Some point, right, yeah, God help us. So getting back

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 4: to the unrest in LA. Uh, this is a great

136
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: piece by Heather McDonald. She's talking about, well, the headline

137
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: is rioting acceptable? If so, how much a judge shrugged

138
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: off some stray, isolent incidents LA Police sources still a

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: very different story. We don't have s under control. An

140
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: LAPD commander told me on Sunday, it's a godsend that

141
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: the National Guard and the Marines are here. Officers on

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: the street felt the same way, though the LAPD forbids

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: them to express that view in public.

144
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: The commander said, I must say that an inside source

145
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: told me someone with a great deal of knowledge about

146
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: this for a very long time, that LAPD is pretty

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: unhappy with the lack of funny than beginning. We had

148
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: an ex LAPD guy on I don't remember the guest's

149
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: name day after the riots started talking about how many

150
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: people they're down from their peak a few years ago.

151
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like thousands fewer police officers on the street

152
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: than they had a few years ago, and this we're overwhelmed.

153
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: We need the National Guard. We don't have it under control.

154
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Is really a political plea for see, we need more officers,

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: we need more funding. Is what's driving that, which doesn't

156
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: make it phony in any way whatsoever. But that could

157
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: be the willingness to say to people we don't have

158
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: s under control or we're overwhelmed. We want as many

159
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: officers as we used.

160
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: To have, right, right, And that could just be the

161
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: union talking sure, because they want the payroll and the

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: rest of it. You know what it reminds me of,

163
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: in a funny way is whenever any like US military

164
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: action is discussed, you have a certain segment of the

165
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: chattering classes that say, oh so, Ray Theon and McDonald,

166
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 4: douglas and all, look at the military industrial complex can

167
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: get more money, right as if that's a reaction or

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: a rejection for every possible military action.

169
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,479
Speaker 1: Money and war are in separable.

170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: And what you have to figure out is okay, is

171
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: that the defense contractors talking through their mouthpieces on Capitol

172
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: Hill or is there actually a legitimate national defense need

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: here just to say, oh so the military industrial complex

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 4: can make more money. That's that's that's not a good argument, yeah,

175
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: because that's a constant. There are multiple big city police

176
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: forces that are way way down in personnel and completely demoralized.

177
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I believe that to my bone. Sure.

178
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: And do the unions also have an interest in beefing

179
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: up the roles for financial reason?

180
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Of course? Yeah? Would they be to have more than

181
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: they need? You damn right, they would, right exactly.

182
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: That's why you have to look at it as an

183
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: outside of observer or a civilian in charge of those

184
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: things and make those judgments.

185
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: Combining the military cost thing with Tucker Tuck. One of

186
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the things Tucker said to Ted Cruz on that two

187
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: hour long thing that I watch was talking about the

188
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: amount of money. You don't know how much money we've

189
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: already spent in sending aircraft carriers. I mean, it's got

190
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to be millions of dollars, and I thought, I'm sure

191
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: somebody could come up with that number. But our aircraft

192
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: carriers are cruising around the sea somewhere, so now they're

193
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: there instead of there. I don't understand how that's an

194
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: extra cost.

195
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: Did they burn x amount of extra fuel getting over

196
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: there instead of saying over here? Yeah, but it's like

197
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: you see that all the time. To make things over dramatic,

198
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: that it cost five million dollars in firefighting time and equipment,

199
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 4: which would have just been at the station house earning

200
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: that same amount of money if that hadn't happened. So,

201
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, gotta be careful with that stuff.

202
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: Got a new poll the latest numbers on where people

203
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: are meeting in the dating world, going back to nineteen thirty.

204
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: We talked about this last year, but there are new

205
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: numbers out now. It turns out in nineteen thirty nobody

206
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: met online. Nobody. Wow, it's changed that much. It's changed

207
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: that much. Yes, we have that other stuff on the way. Well,

208
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: some big sports news.

209
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 6: The LA Lakers have been sold for a record ten

210
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 6: billion dollars ten billion for the Lakers. Meanwhile, the Utah

211
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 6: Jazz are on eBay and nobody's bid anything.

212
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 4: Still waiting for the opening bid was that I can't

213
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: imagine why the well, how did jazz come in for

214
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: a kicking there?

215
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: Well, and small market teams look at Indiana and Oklahoma

216
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: City here you're a little rated NBA Finals. So it

217
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: finally happened.

218
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: I've I've read these I brought these articles to the

219
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: show a couple of times about how young hipsters use

220
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: emojis differently than old folks and that the old people

221
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: need to get hip to it because you're freaking out

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: your your young workers by giving him a thumbs up.

223
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: Thumbs up means that's terrible. It's the equivalent of oh great, apparently, yeah, I.

224
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about this before, but thumbs up is

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: like sarcastic. Well that's great, yes, because my son sends

226
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: me completely inappropriately based on my like a grown up

227
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: friend set the emoji of the tears streaming down the

228
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: face yes, which usually when adults send it to me,

229
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I'm really touched by that or

230
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: sad about that or whatever. He sends it, like when

231
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: he's he sends it when something's funny. He's laughing so hard,

232
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: he's crying, and it's.

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: So it's beyond the tears, just the tears are streaming out.

234
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: He's laughing so hard. Yes, exactly. Well, it's finally happened

235
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: to me. In my real life, my daughter got some

236
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: very good news academically and then included the snorting with

237
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: anger emoji, and I said, isn't that an angry emoji?

238
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Because that's cool news, and she said, yeah, in this context, it's.

239
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: F Yeah, I don't know the snorting with anger emoji,

240
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: what's it look like? I'll send it to the group.

241
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: It's a round yellow faces, Katie, if you could. Yeah,

242
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: I'll send it to the group.

243
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that one yet, though, I've only known

244
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: that to be like, augh.

245
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 4: No, yeah, that's that's it. You're just so exasperated, you're

246
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 4: snorting with anger. Yeah, apparently.

247
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Not like I said, I sent an egg plant to

248
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Linda in accounting because I thought her.

249
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: Report was good, god, accurate. That's how I denote good work.

250
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: There's the emoji in question. O, Katie just sent it

251
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: to the group.

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: I wondered why my phone just went off. I'm quickly

253
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: for that. I had never seen that exactly. I had

254
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: never seen that one before. Ever.

255
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: That's the first time I've ever seen that emoji. Yeah,

256
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: oh really, you're an anti emojis.

257
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, emojis apparently, I remember I don't send emojis and

258
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't text very much, so I guess that's the outside.

259
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: But so what do you use that one for? If

260
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: somebody had sent that to me, I.

261
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: Thought, what the hell is that? Yeah, to me, it's

262
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 4: I'm really pissed off. But no, it's a LFG. As

263
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: the kids say, let's a blanket go.

264
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm fired up, you go out on a lemon, just

265
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: say no, it's not that's not what it's for.

266
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, we can't have if we're gonna use the cartoons

267
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: like we're children to communicate, we have to have an

268
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: agreed upon meaning, just like we do with words. Yeah,

269
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I'm gonna get slammed into on the

00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah again. Here's here's the deal.

273
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: Okay, we old, as you youngsters like to call us,

00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: So am I going to adapt to you or you

276
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: that to me? Mmmmmmm. You can't come to me three

277
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: times a week and say I need some money for food.

278
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to my friends and then tell me what

279
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,239
Speaker 1: emojis mean. That's not the way it works around here, exactly.

280
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Well said you want money to eat a Cane's chicken

281
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: from now on. The tears streaming down means you're sad,

282
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: all right, thumbs up means it's good. The thumbs down

283
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: means it's bad. All right, ps, get off my lawn

284
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,080

Speaker 1: I have really entered the teenagers coming to me for

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: money phase of my life, which I knew what happened

289
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: because I I've seen it portrayed on television my whole life.

290
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: But oh boy, me and my friends are gonna go eat.

291
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: Is there any chance you.

292

Speaker 4: Could coming up later? Guess who's urging Congress to defund

293
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: the National Museum of the American Latino Latino scholars who

294
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 4: say it's ridiculous and insulting.

295
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I like the sound of that. There is

296
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: a new The latest data is out on how people

297
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: meet in the dating world, which I'm not exactly sure

298
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: what that even means, giving the factors up. People don't

299
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: date or couple or have kids, so that that factors

300
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: into the whole thing too. But the latest, the latest

301
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: stats on there, and then my anecdotal evidence from people

00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I ruined it. I wish I hadn't said. I didn't

306
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: have to say sad. I could have just said, well, lonely,

307
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of sad, alone and happy. I don't send

00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: did you send me an egg plant?

311
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: Because that means I don't appreciate what you just said

312
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: because it's the least think it's the least popular vegetable,

313
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: So it means I.

314
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Don't like that. That's why understanding. Yes, So get into

315
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: those statistics and a bunch of other stuff on the way.

316
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and

00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 6: coordinate double dates.

320
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: You meet three people you don't like. Well, that's interesting

321
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: is negative joke about tender and online dating app and

322
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: then people laughing and everything like that. I don't know

323
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: anything like I don't have I have no practical knowledge

324
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: of online dating because I've never done it or seen

325
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: a website or I mean, I only know what I've

326
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: heard people talk about. But I've I've heard almost entirely

327
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: negative stuff, at least in the last couple of years

328
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: about how awful it is, and and and the number

329
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: of people I've heard who deleted all their apps and

330
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: have given up on it because it's it's a it's

331
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: a it's only you know a handful of guys trying

332
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: to have sex and the end. Yes, Katie, UH drama

333
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: makes the stories.

334
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: I have several friends that have met the loves of

335
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: their lives and been gotten married thanks.

336
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 4: To quite a few listeners who've commented, you know what,

337
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 4: Jacket's what you described the big story, this is hot,

338
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 4: this is hot. You see the story everywhere it's hot,

339
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: and then backlash against what's hot.

340
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: It's actually terrible, It's terrible, over and over. But I

341
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: only know my own personal experience with just people I know,

342
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: and it's anecdotal, one hundred percent anecdotal, and the plural

343
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: anecdote is not data, but anecdotally. I know lots of

344
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: people who say and and it's all it was good.

345
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: What happened? Well, I can tell you one thing that

346
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: did happen that you might not know. Of match dot com,

347
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: but every single one of the other UH forums they own,

348
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: like practically all of them now. Match dot Com owns Tender,

349
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: and I've I've heard of these in the news, okay,

350
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: cubid and and I think Hinge and a bunch of

351
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: other stuff, maybe e harmony, but they own almost all

352
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: of them now, And there's some belief that they have

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: a reason to not have you match because if you

354
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: match with somebody you stay with, you're done as a customer.

355
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, costs purposes, So there is well, yeah,

356
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: there is some reason to you know, just string you along,

357
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: get you kind of close or not give you many

358
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: and you stay desperate and you stay on the.

359
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean, of course there's an incentive for that. Yeah, yeah,

360
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 4: that's funny. I'm surprised the SEC hasn't stepped in and say,

361
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: you've got a monopoly uncoupling. We can't have this. Of course,

362
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: you could just meet somebody at the library or something

363
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: like that. Right the library, it's likely to be a junkie.

364
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: But anyway, depending where you live, you meet somebody at

365
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: the library is a particularly bad choice in the modern world.

366
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: Who's sleep upped in my head? Who meeting someone at

367
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: the library? People who read books, sir. The library is

368
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: for washing your feet in the sink, and we all

369
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: know that, or looking at porn on a taxpayer funded computer,

370
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I guess.

371
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: Researching how do I hide a body? Not on your

372
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 4: own computer?

373
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: Right, But looking at the charts through the years, back

374
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: in the nineteen thirties, nobody met online. I think that's

375
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: an interesting piece of trivia, so revealing. But for all

376
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: of mankind time, it was the ice cream social and

377
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: friends and then church and that. So that was big

378
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: enough to think like. But the way online has exploded,

379
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: it dwarfs every other way of people meeting currently, at

380
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: least according to all these studies. So you know that

381
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: contradicts my anecdotal evidence, although it could have gotten a

382
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: lot worse just in the last couple of years, and

383
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: these charts would still be true, especially if Match dot

384
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Com bought all the companies and has some reason to

385
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: you have zero reason to like perfect your algorithm, you know,

386
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: like TikTok perfected the algorithm to keep you engaged. I

387
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: don't know if Match dot com or well, they're all

388
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: match dot com now, but if Match dot com could

389
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: do that, even if somebody came in boss, I've done it.

390
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: I've figured out the algorithm that uh, nine times out

391
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: of ten will put people together that they'll be happy

392
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: the rest of their lives. Would you use that. I

393
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: think you probably wouldn't.

394
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 4: No, not only would you fire them, you'd shoot them

395
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 4: so they and hide their corpse, having researched it at

396
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 4: the library online, of course, to make sure that that

397
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: did not get out.

398
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: No, at the very least, change them radiator in the basement.

399
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: There are many options to keep this from coming out,

400
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: but we don't have to go through the various macob

401
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: examples exactly.

402
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: There are several hipop to mind. Oh right, wow, okay,

403
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: well it makes intuitive sense.

404
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw the New York Times article a while back.

405
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: I think I talked about this on their breakdown was

406
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like I don't remember the exact numbers,

407
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: but this is close enough to write. It's like ten

408
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: to one women to men, first of all on there

409
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: and secondly, of the men, it's like the same ten

410
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: percent best looking guys who get all the dates with

411
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: like ninety percent of the women, and they're not interested

412
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: in a in a relationship past like you know, a

413
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: night or two, and so I mean that's and that's

414
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: what most of it is, at least according to that

415
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: New York Times article.

416
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: Maybe they have perfected the algorithm to do that right right, right, right,

417
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: right right, or to you know, continually match you up

418
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: with somebody who you're never going to connect with full time,

419
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 4: but close.

420
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: Boy, that would be a stroke of evil genius. Huh,

421
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: that would be evil. Yeah, yeah, And then they they

422
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: very being And then this article had a whole bunch

423
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: of stuff in there. This all sounds horrible to me,

424
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: and I can't imagine it. Just it just sounds like

425
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for the worst rejection you can imagine

426
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: in your life, to to like, you know, to put

427
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: all this effort and everything like that and get like

428
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: no results. In some of the websites, people can give

429
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: you thumbs down and stuff. It's like, right, why am

430
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: I going back to high school? Are you gonna make

431
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: me go back to high school and live this again?

432
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 4: Or you could just approach a comely gal there in

433
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 4: the nonfiction section of the library, say, I see you're

434
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 4: looking at a book about fungus.

435
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: I too, am interested in the fungus for instance. You know,

436
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: let me transition quickly to my favorite library story before

437
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: we do something differently. I once was in the library, Gladys,

438
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: this is my one of my favorite stories. I've told

439
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: them many times but we have a lot of new noises.

440
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: Katie's never heard this story. I'm sure I'm in the library.

441
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: It matters.

442
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 4: It wasn't when you were in the stacks of the

443
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 4: college library in the toil.

444
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: This is a different story. It's totally different. It's funny.

445
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I've got good library stories that I've told many times.

446
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: The other one was somebody trying to have a male

447
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: hookup is a very complicated I talked about it on

448
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: the One More Thing podcast the other night. I'm telling

449
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: all my library stories this week. For some reason. This one,

450
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: I'm in the library dressed like me, but me is

451
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: shaved head and I'm wearing Doc Martin's which is a

452
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: very common look for me. I'm in the library and

453
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm in the World War Two section, which is not

454
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: uncommon either. I was talking about a book form World

455
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: War Two earlier in the show. I'm constantly reading books

456
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: about World War Two. But I'm in the World War

457
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: two section, shaved head, black Doc Martins, and a guy

458
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: walks by me and kind of gives me the look. Now,

459
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: having had the previous library experience that I mentioned on

460
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: One More Thing, I think he's just interested in me,

461
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not interested in him because I'm teterossect and

462
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't think much beyond it. I walk out of

463
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: the library. He's waiting for me outside, sitting on the

464
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: like the cement railing. He said, see you like World

465
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: War two books? Huh? You like? Uh? You like like

466
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: reading about hit Ler and stuff like that. We're having

467
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: a meeting Tuesday night. Just let you know. It's at

468
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: seven o'clock and it's at the whatever he thought I

469
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: was a neo Nazi. I got invited by a neo

470
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: Nazi to a Nazi party. My god, I know, in retrospect,

471
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I told this on the air like the next day.

472
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd have gone. Yeah,

473
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: I just could have investigated get out, but I was

474
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: so weirded out. I was so weirded out, oh you know.

475
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: And then I get my picture taken and somebody recognized me.

476
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: It's on the evening news, no one talk shows, but

477
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: that's how they start the meeting. Uh. But yeah, guy

478
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: actually invited me to a neo NATS party. Just got

479
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: add short hair and war Doc Martins like, you know,

480
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: like every lesbian in America, I mean, so what are

481
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: they all Nazis. No, Look, what did he look like?

482
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: He looked like me. He was in a T shirt, doc,

483
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: short hair, except he's a Nazi. Did he have the

484
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: white laces in his? Doc? Martins that he wasn't? I

485
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: think that's two. I mean, you're really outing yourself if

486
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: you go there, are you okay? I'm aware of this. Yeah,

487
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: that that's a full on I'm a racist Nazi if

488
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: you have white lace supremacist? But oh really, I did

489
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: not know that. Yeah, I've always I've always kind of

490
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: wished I have checked it out. But you know, it

491
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: might be one of those things you get in and

492
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: you know some people, and and and and it's it's

493
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: harder to untangle yourself from that than you think. Yeah,

494
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: I was.

495
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: I can think of all sorts of things that would

496
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: go wrong there. I mean not like like deadly wrong,

497
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: but just really really wrong.

498
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: If you're campus, all the Nazis are waving at you,

499
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: you know.

500
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 4: Oh, hey Jack, hey, well somebody recognizes here or whatever.

501
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's they were doomed. Yeah, they're walking down

502
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: through the park with their big swastika fleck. Hey Jack, Hey,

503
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: that was fun the other night.

504
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 4: And you're saying you know as the news shows up

505
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: at your front door. I just went out of curiosity.

506
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 4: You were curious about near Nazism. Well, yeah, I mean

507
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 4: it's it's it's terrible, obviously, but I wanted to go

508
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: to the meeting and meet some of the fellows.

509
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: I like the footwear.

510
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what to say, fortunate.

511
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but you're right. You get to the meeting

512
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: and like, right off the bat, it's you got to

513
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: put your arm in the air and say, we blame

514
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: the Jews, we hate the Jews. Our goal is to

515
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: have the Jews annihilated and immediately and mean and I

516
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: are like, I can't be here, and then what are

517
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: you gonna just turn around and walk out the door?

518
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: And where are you going? Yeah? Again, so I probably

519
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: made the right decision, and just getting wide eyed and

520
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: uh no and walking away from the guy. Sell you

521
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: like World War two books, don't you? Yeah, me and

522
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: every other male in America. What the hell is this?

523
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: You're casting a pretty quill in that garb? Please, I

524
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: male pattern baldness. I keep my hair short. Michael Jordan

525
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: made it popular. That's not make doesn't make it a Nazi.

526
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: You doubled down with the Doc Martins.

527
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: True, Yeah, I tell you what I'm you know, hanging

528
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: around in Oregon wearing a pink tutu and some guy

529
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 4: assumes I swing his way.

530
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: You can't fault him more in the uniform, huh, were

531
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: in heels in a short skirt and they made all

532
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: kinds of assumptions. Right, we wanted to get to the

533
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: hilarious music bed that is all the rage right now.

534
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do a meme and mock something that's

535
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be serious, this is the way to mock it.

536
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: Katie hipped us to this, and it's so dang funny.

537
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: We'll have that coming up for you next Yeah. I

538
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: looked it up. So in case you didn't know this,

539
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: match dot Com owns tender, ok Cupid, plenty of fish hinge,

540
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: black people meet upward, Christian dating, all kinds of yeah,

541
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: and that interesting one company. Yeah. So we mocked quite

542
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: a bit last week. The Senator Padilla running at the

543
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: Homeland Secretary and then being pushed back by Secret Service.

544
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: He's lucky he didn't get a rifle button in the

545
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: face or something, but he got pushed to the ground

546
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: and then he acted like it was some sort of oppressive.

547
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: Clearly Hitler Trump is Hitler sort of thing. Oh yeah,

548
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: Ashley is the term fascist.

549
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: He so clearly tried to haul himself up on the

550
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: cross and become the savior of brave Latino voters everywhere

551
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 4: by his like fake getting arrested drama. It's just pathetic.

552
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 4: And then he comes out afterward and gives this on

553
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: the very verge of tears statement about how terrible an

554
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 4: experience it was.

555
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: And then you com bin with this. Katie hipped us

556
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: to the fact that there's a meme, now is it?

557
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: High school kids are great school kids. I think this

558
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: was like an elementary school thing. Yeah, playing my Heart

559
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: will go on on the fourth grade recorder, remember that

560
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: musical instrument poorly? And you put this under things you

561
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: want to mock the seriousness of, and it sounds like this.

562
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 7: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees

563
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 7: and then flat on my chest and its handcuffed and

564
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 7: marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking why am I being detained?

565
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: That is so good? That is really really that you

566
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: could not write words that would be better mockery than that.

567
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: Oh that is perfect and exactly what he deserves.

568
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: It's justice. And hilarity. I love that.

569
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 4: So, a coalition of more than twenty Latino scholars and

570
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: community leaders are asking Speaker of the House of Mike

571
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: Johnson to defund the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American

572
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: Latino has outlined the president's discretionary budget request.

573
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: Uh said Alfonso at is that on the part of

574
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the Smithsonian mall thing, is it not built yet? Okay,

575
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: because there's a bunch of those now that didn't exist

576
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: years ago the last time I'd been to DC. Yeah,

577
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: it's like.

578
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: The African American Museum that rose up in the wake

579
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: of various cultural moments American there was a bunch of them, right, Yeah, exactly.

580
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: It hasn't yet been built, but it was going to

581
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: be funded for many millions of dollars in Alfonso Aguilar,

582
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 4: director of Hispanic Engagement at the American Principles Project, said, quote,

583
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 4: President Trump is right, it's time to take back our

584
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: institutions of culture. That's why he wants to defund this

585
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 4: woke travesty. Congress should now not allow the development of

586
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: a museum that's going to be used to push a

587
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: radical agenda of grievances and anti American ideologies.

588
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: The letter goes on to state.

589
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 4: Ah, oh, it's a permanent exhibition right now in the

590
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: National Museum of American History entitled present Day, a Latino.

591
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: History of the United States.

592
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: Sadly, the letter states, quote, this museum is being used

593
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: to present to the public a culturally Marxist depiction of

594
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: the experiences of Hispanics in America. The museum's flagship exhibit,

595
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: in fact, proposes that the history of Americans of Hispanic

596
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: origin should be reduced to a quote struggle for justice

597
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: to achieve a mostly leftist agendon labor or education, access, fairhousing,

598
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: and more recently immigration justice from LGBT plus Q rights, etc.

599
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

600
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: Accordingly, Hispanics are pervasively portrayed as an oppressed people in

601
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: their Spanish era and Christian roots ignored or disparaged.

602
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Spanish got over on a whole bunch of

603
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: other cultures, like wiped them out, murdered them so that

604
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: they could be the dominant culture for a while. Yeah,

605
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: I remember, so there was a variety of things like that.

606
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: I was just at that museum not that long ago

607
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: with my kids, if you remember me talking about it,

608
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: And I didn't visit that stuff. But then even in

609
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: the natural history part where it was just, you know,

610
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: here's a stuffed saber tooth tiger or whatever it was.

611
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Constant climate change is why this animal got wiped out

612
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: in Mankind's the love of the automobile and blah blah blah.

613
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: It's just never ending, that sort of thing. Yeah. One

614
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: of the.

615
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 4: Guys at the National Review, I can't remember if it

616
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: was Rich Lowry, wrote a piece a number of months

617
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: ago that it was right at the beginning of Trump's

618
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: term that if Trump wanted to be successful in beating

619
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: back the whole woke insanity movement, that he had to focus.

620
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 4: There were like four points, and obviously one was education

621
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: in the universities, but one of them was saying, people

622
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: need to get hold of our cultural institution, specifically our

623
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: museums again, because the museums on the National Mall are

624
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: all run I shouldn't say all. They are heavily heavily

625
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 4: run by a heavily leftist point of view, to the

626
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: point that even you know, mastodons somehow, you know, involved

627
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: global warming and the racism of African elephants or something

628
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: like that and the immigrant elephants or something.

629
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just ridiculous. We got a text from somebody

630
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: getting back to the story last segments. We got a

631
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: text from somebody who says they got invited to a

632
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: barbecue one time and they got there and it was

633
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: a neo Nazi meeting. Oh boy, they had made assumptions

634
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: about them.

635
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: Well, how was the food? As long as I'm here?

636
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeahs again Heinrich.

637
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: Damn, oh jeez, excuse me whooping cough. If you miss
