WEBVTT - I Need A Spirit Day 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.080 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:23.599 and Getty and he Armstrong and Yeddy Michael. You're gonna 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.319 post your cheese dip or whatever your recipe, Yes, sir, 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.920 I'm gonna actually make that this year. Henry and I 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.160 are gonna eat cheese dip. Matter of fact, it's already posted. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.839 Henry's gonna wear his Mahomes jersey. I'm gonna wear my 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.959 original Chief's Joe Montana jersey from way back in the day. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:39.920 Watch the Big Game. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.000 You'll always be a forty nine er to me or 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:49.200 something irrelevant. So the Super Bowl is coming up Sunday, Shirley, 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.640 you know that. And this is a list of things 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.560 the NFL requires your city has if you want to 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:56.400 host one. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.400 NFL requires access to two top tier boys alleys. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:01.040 No clue why. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.600 Maybe Roger Goodell is a bowling enthusiast, but who knows. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.880 The league also requires access to three top tier golf 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.360 courses no costs luss. The city must be able to 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.039 provide free apartment housing to NFL staff for over a 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.160 month before the actual game. Thirty five thousand free parking 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.440 spaces at the stadium, and twenty three billboards for promotional 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.640 use around the city. Not to mention the team. Hotels 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.960 must agree to televise the NFL network or a year 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.040 leading up to the Super Bowl. 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.480 Wow. Well that's an interesting one to jam in the 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.800 They have to be there for a month before the game, 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:35.160 NFL officials. Yeah, golf courses doesn't surprise me. I guess 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:36.400 bowling alleys. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.920 Okay, you probably have various parties for the owners and 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.520 sponsors and all sorts of stuffies. Actually surprised. Strip clubs 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.200 is not on that list. I wonder if that's in 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.120 the fine prints. Probably with a non disclosure agreement to 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.600 attack don rightly. 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.520 So in some sort of gentleman's entertainment. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:02:01.400 Uh, gentlemen, I thought this is interesting if you're new 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.440 to the show. Jack and I both have railed long 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.920 and hard against critical theory and DEI it's neo Marxism. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.519 Will explain a little more about that. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:15.960 It maskerrades quite successfully, though, as we just want everybody 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.200 to get a fair shot in America, and a lot 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:23.040 of people think DEI actually is just we want more diversity. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.840 We want people to be able to apply for jobs 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.799 and get them. No, everybody wants that DEI is in 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:34.200 cities plot that mascarades as civil rights. Having said that 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.280 the headline the journal America is abandoning DEI, the NFL 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.200 remains all in. Everyone from the federal government of the 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:46.680 Fortune five hundred are dialing back diversity efforts DEI efforts, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.080 but America's most popular sport is standing its ground. I'm 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.480 not shocked by this. I don't like it. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.200 I don't like the fact that journalism regularly fudges the 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.480 difference between DEI, which is a specific thing, and diversity, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.960 acting like they're the same thing. They don't know. 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.400 I honestly believe the percentage of Americans who understand that 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.239 that DEI is part of critical theory comes from the 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:17.679 Frankfurt School of philosophy. It's a method of taking over institutions. Essentially, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.520 you call everybody a racist unless they agree with you. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.080 Perhaps you went to a delightful training session where this happened, 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.520 and obviously, if you're a racist, according to the nice 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.520 people who are running your DEI department, you can't be 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.960 in charge, and so they get rid of you and 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.240 they bring in somebody who believes what they do, which 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:43.320 is Neo Marxism, equity, etc. DEI is Marxism. It's not diversity. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.560 That reminds me. I read a great piece yesterday on 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.440 how ibramx Kenny is one of the great sisters of 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.320 all time. Now that his run is over, I think 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.920 had to shut down his anti racist institute. He got 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.200 fifty million dollars. Where's I think in donations from companies. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.240 Never did anything. No people were falling all over themselves 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.080 to give money. I'm not a racist. Don't call me 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.440 a racist. Don't call me a racist. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.560 And you remember, no matter how you intended what you said, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.000 if I say you're a racist, you are a racist. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.919 It's a method of capture, of taking over institutions. And 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.520 he and Robin DiAngelo and that whole ridiculous scam which 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.880 is still going on. They knew precisely what they were doing. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.480 But back to my main point, I think a lot 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.120 of people don't understand it. Yeah, I see even in 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.600 fairly conservative publications, I still see people talk about DEI 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.760 as if it's just an honest and open hearted desire 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.680 to have, you know, like a black kid have the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000 same opportunities in America as a white kid. Again, everybody 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.160 wants that DEI is not that anyway. Having said that, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.760 back to the journal thing, the NFL is a TV show. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:00.160 Never forget that it's an entertainment product from top to bottom. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.159 Not actually an effort to see which city has the 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.960 best forty guys to play football. Hired bmuths. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.200 No, it's a TV show, and it is an incredibly popular, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.240 profitable TV show, and a huge percentage of the cast 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.880 are young black men and are incredibly important to the 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.880 game and its popularity. 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.080 I've noticed that, and given the fact. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.640 That most people don't understand what DEI really is and 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.559 what it is not, including young black men who run, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.120 you know, receiving routes and get tackled hard and stay 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.920 in incredible physical condition and memorize playbooks that would boggle 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.640 the mind of an MIT physicist, that they don't spend 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.960 a lot of time acquainting themselves with the subtleties of 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:52.039 sociological issues is not shocking. So I get why Roger 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.680 Goodell has said, no, we're still up with diversity, up 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.920 with DEI. We're continuing all our programs. I get why 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.760 he does that. It annoys me, but I get it. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.479 I thought this was more interesting and revealing. This is 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.279 a piece written by Callum Borcher's what happens when a 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:15.000 former NFL player becomes your office coworker. And I've got 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.760 to admit I haven't thought about this much. Oh and 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.599 he mentions, did we find the audio, guys from the 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.640 two thousand and three that was. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.119 Twenty two years ago? 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.760 A Super Bowl commercial featuring was it Terry Tait office 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.120 linebacker or something like that? 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.080 Do we have that? Oh? 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.200 Okay, if you saw the commercial, you certainly remember it now. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.680 Absolutely hilarious. They hired a linebacker to root out inefficiency 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.440 at their office. It's kind of like Doge, except if 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.599 you weren't doing your job right, he would level you 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.480 wearing his football gear. Anyway, back to the threat of 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.000 the thing. I thought this was super interesting. Turns out 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.520 real NFL retirees who entered the business world learned to 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:01.680 make an impact in different ways. Quote Will Rackley, a 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.000 former offensive lineman for the Jaguars and Ravens. He's a 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.000 couple of months into a job as a business operations 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.600 analyst at the staffing firm Atrium. He said it can 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.840 be a culture shock when stepping into a corporate setting 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.640 as opposed to the locker room. But manager after manager 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.960 was telling callum borchers that they struggle to recruit people 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:29.440 who can take and deliver candid feedback, especially these days. 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.440 We've all heard stories of the. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.880 Snowflakes and the gen Zers and millennials and gen zers 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.880 especially who if you say, you know that report wasn't 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.000 quite up to snuff, they will break down. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.880 Oh my god, you're crutching my spirit. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.640 I need a spirit day, I need a mental health day. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.800 They have trouble with people that can deliver the candid feedback. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.320 Though you smell funny, everybody's talking about it. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.240 No, not that sort of candid about job performance specifically 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:05.440 a lot of people, particularly given the first thing I 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.400 was talking about, People who can't take candid feedback are 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.080 extremely uncomfortable giving it. You gotta stop eating with your 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.120 mouth open. You're gonna make somebody kill you. Wow, now 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:20.760 we're talking about business performance again. But a former gridiron 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.520 pro accustomed to coaches a yell, cuss, and call out 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.200 mistakes in postgame film sessions every week of their careers 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.840 is not likely to will to under a little constructive criticism. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.160 That's funny. My son just said this is his first 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.920 real sport. I think he's playing volleyball. He said. The 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.600 coach is yelling at me all the time. I said, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.800 that's what coaches do. Yes, good or bad, no matter 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.319 what's happening, the coaches yell at you. That's the way 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:44.800 it works. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.440 This is the candid feedback we're discussing. And while there 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.720 are some truth to the cliche that athletes can bring 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.920 winning mindsets to business, it is actually their ability to 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.160 handle losing that stands out. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.400 According to bosses and the former. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.079 NFL players are talking about are like the vast majority 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.040 you leave the game, not hall of famers with set 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.199 for life money. They are often men who are pushed 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.640 out of the game by injuries or a younger, cheaper 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.280 draft pick who could play about as well. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.720 Which is which is almost everybody who gets in the NFL. Right. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.600 Oh yeah, yeah, vast majority they've dealt with disappointment and regrouped, 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.800 said an associate director of non traditional talent programs at Verizon. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:22.200 Quote. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.319 The ability to pick yourself up and get back into 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.160 the game is really what business is all about. And 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.920 he's found these guys to be much more resilient. I 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.480 don't they understand, Wow, that went badly. What can we learn? 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.680 I don't doubt that that should be focused on more 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.920 for all professional athletes, the vast majority of them. Even 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.600 if you've reached your dreams, made it to that league, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.480 you're gonna make a little money and be there a 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.040 couple of years, and then you're gonna go back to 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.560 regular life and you're gonna be twenty five years old, right, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.720 and that that would be an interesting mindset. I was 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.920 good enough to play in that league. I worked my 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.240 it's off ten hours a day, like my whole life. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.520 But that's over now and I'm only twenty five, and 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.040 I got to do something different, right. But I think 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.720 the other aspects of it, because that's important, though, But 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.080 the idea of somebody, well, they make another point. NFL 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:19.679 players are completely unfazed by the arduous process of interviewing 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:24.080 for white collar jobs and or preparing for presentations and 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.520 interviews and stuff like that. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.960 It's what they've done their whole lives. It's a different 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.720 skill set that they're preparing for. But the idea of 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.560 we're gonna have to go really really hard to get 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.280 rid or get ready for this one particular meeting or 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.400 something they're completely in that mode, So I thought that 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:45.160 was interesting. It also reminds me of the New York Times. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.679 There's a great piece they did. Yeah, I know, when 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.000 they're not completely biased, they do really good journalism once 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.640 in a while. That the single most important characteristic for 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.760 a child to predict their success in life is resilience. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.000 Can they are they afraid of failure? Or do they 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.160 understand had happened sometime? Let's plunge on number one predictor, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.120 and I could see why NFL players would be really 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.400 good at that. I mean, even the Chiefs, who are 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.720 on the brink of a third consecutive Super Bowl, got 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:16.240 to help us. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:22.280 They lose games, not Sunday. They won't all right. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.440 Looking, it's, oh yeah, we get to Terry Tate office linebacker. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.000 Why not Michael Again? This was twenty two years ago. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:31.840 Good God. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.440 When we asked Rebuk to send us Terry Tate, some 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.320 people thought we were crazy. But I'm a firm believer 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.520 in paradigm, breaking outside the box. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:45.760 Thinking anyway, break was over fifteen minutes ago match. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.080 And since Terry has been with us, our productivity has 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:53.000 gone up forty six percent. We're getting more from our 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.360 employees than ever before. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.640 You know, you need a come a seat or your 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.240 TPS reports, Richie. That ain't new baby, hey Janis. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.120 But what's really impressed me is how Terry has become 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:05.240 part of the Felcher family. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:15.440 He fits right in here. This is little thiss call Doug. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:16.760 To be honest. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:23.960 I wish Reebucks sent us ten. Terry takes you want 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.120 to pay games day time? His pay time? 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:27.600 Baby? 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:36.640 Who love it? Looking at CNN Elon Musk's Doge remaking 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.000 the federal government at breakneck speed. Now, why you've gotten 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.720 many Democratic leaders screaming. You'll hear some of that screaming 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:43.440 coming up. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.440 In the United States Senate. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:54.040 We will not cooperate. We will cooperate with no appointments. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.840 When it comes to the State Department. There should be 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.800 hundreds of thousands and millions of people to send Washington 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.320 d C. We must resisked, We must be in the streets, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.120 all right. Part of it might be this is a 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.600 pushback against Doge and shrinking the government and cutting costs 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.600 and aid and all this different sort of stuff from 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.080 the Democrats. Some of it might be they just they're 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:22.080 so demoralized on the left, and it's just part of 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.720 a cycle. They'll be back in the right, will be 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.840 demoralized in the blink of an eye, because I've lived 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.760 through this enough times. But they're so demoralized, Joe Wall, 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.560 it lasts. They're so demoralized on the left they have 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.000 to show some like fight to their crowd, like we're 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.240 fighting something. I guess, look at us. We're confident, we 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.160 know what we're doing. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.200 We're fighting for you by keeping the bloat in the 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.040 federal government. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.960 Here's a little more of that sort of thing. What 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.880 is doing is illegal. It is a cupe. Elon ms 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.480 makes unsafe cause and now he wants to create an 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:01.440 unsafe world. We will not shut up. We will stand up. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.319 We will speak up that same spirit the Elon Musk 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.040 has coming from South Africa. We're not gonna have apart 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.320 time in America. Oh boy, who the hell is Musk 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:19.320 think he is? He has absolutely no right. He's shutting 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.720 down USA. I d we cannot allow that. We've got 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:24.760 to take to the streets. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.520 Tss. 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.160 Wow, they tried to turn it racial with an apartheid reference. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.560 There. He builds unsafe cars, all right, Yeah, you loved 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.000 his cars until he became a Trump guy. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.840 And look, we've we've met John Germundy's a longtime congressman 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:53.480 from northern California. He's one of Congressman Joe John. Look around, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.600 look at the company you're keeping. You are so much 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.040 better than that, and. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.240 You gotta say something. Yeah. We got a couple of 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.240 texts about things we've talked about. One we got a 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.200 number of texts about people had funny experiences with either 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.520 handyman or home improvement. People showing up drunk or not 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.760 having tools or a ladder or whatever like I experienced yesterday. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.200 I remember the one time somebody, it was somebody who's 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:20.880 out there and they asked me, I think, for a 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.440 tool of some sort and I said no, And I 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.560 said you live on a farm and you don't have that. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.680 I thought, okay, cool, so you can come out here 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.520 without tools and shame me for not having the tool 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:38.520 you need. This is fantastic, four stars. It's on me, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.120 I guess uh. And then earlier I was talking about 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.240 I'm having the biggest sleep crisis of my life out 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.800 of nowhere. I just can't sleep and it's making me insane. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:50.520 A lot of people recognizing recommending magnesium I have jackets 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.800 clearly have a mineral deficiency. Take magnesium in all caps. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.040 It is essential to help, he said. Lots of people 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.680 are big on the magnesium. I don't know if that's 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.720 a hot thing right now. Yes, Kate, it is a 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.680 hot thing. And one of the guys at my gym say, 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.400 because I was having trouble sleeping, he goes, you gotta 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.760 try this. But the only thing I'll tell you is 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.880 that it gives you like acid dreams. Cool. I didn't. Yeah, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.000 I didn't try it, But well, you take magaza. I 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:18.200 don't have any problem at all. How's your stool? Everything's final. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:26.280 Have you tried vitamin B? That's what I call bourbon dad? 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.920 He needs his vitamin B. Magnesium might one percent be okay. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.080 But it's funny how various supplements come in and out 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.400 of favor, and they're they're you know, for a year 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.040 they're the hot thing. Well you're not getting enough whatever, 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.480 and every store in America sells a bottle of it, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.280 and noverybody takes it. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.960 On the other hand, if I can buy a bottle 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.920 of it for five dollars and I've convinced myself it'll work, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:48.960 and I fall asleep like. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.840 A baby, bingo I'm one hundred percent in favor of Placebia. Yeah, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.920 that that works. It works. I'll take magnesium until I oh, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.160 until my stool's okay, you know, I'm Michael like yours. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:03.200 Good lord, Yeah, that's stop. So Kamala Harris was on 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.480 sixty minutes. You remember that big interview. They edited her 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.199 answer Trump is suing. We have what the actual answer was. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.000 It's an interesting case for those of us in the media. 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:19.560 Pretty interesting. So stay stay here, Armstrong and Getty. This 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:25.120 is already a win for Trump and it will continue 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.720 to be a win for most people. I think the 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.560 way most people will well, we'll hear this story about 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.640 the sixty minutes editing Kamala Harris's interview, whether whether it's 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.639 accurate or not, this is the way it's going to 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.880 be come off, I think. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:39.280 So. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.919 The New York Times headline is FCC releases sixty minutes 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.959 interview with Kamala Harris. Remember she did a big sit 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.239 down in sixty minutes leading up to the election. Got 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.359 a lot of a lot of scrutiny because well, she 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.199 very rarely answered questions, and when she did, it was nonsensical. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.440 So it always got a lot of scrutiny, and then 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.400 we all found out, like the next day or very 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.480 soon there after, that there was some editing and the 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.560 promos and this and that, and did they cut one 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.760 of our answers to make her seem less crazy and 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.280 all that sort of stuff that was out there in 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.040 the world. But so this sixty minute, this story from 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:14.000 the New York Times Today again FCC, the FCC released this, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.280 not c the mean they made CBS get it. FCC 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.240 releases sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The complete interview, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.800 which is at the center of a lawsuit filed by 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.280 President Trump, shows that sixty Minutes aired a concise version 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.680 of Miss Harris's answer on Israel. Thought it was interesting 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.040 that The New York Times went with that is kind 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.360 of the subheadline, because if all you look at is that, 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.919 you certainly come away with the Trump was right, they 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.560 were wrong. They were trying to screw him. I think 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.359 that's the way most people are gonna take that story. 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.480 This is the way CBS presented it. 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.080 Now have some news about CBS itself. Sixty Minutes has 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.160 posted on cbsnews dot com transcripts and videos from its 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.320 interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris at aired back 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.560 in October. The SCC had requested these materials as part 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.960 of an investigation into a complaint alleging quote intentional news 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:13.399 distortion close quote. The issue concerns one question about whether 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.040 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo was listening to the 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.800 Biden administration. CBS News broadcast a longer portion of Harris's 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.320 answer on Face the Nation, and then a shorter excerpt 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.639 of the same answer on sixty Minutes. In a statement, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.000 sixty Minutes said the transcripts and video show quote the 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.879 sixty Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful close quote, 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:38.080 adding that each. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:39.679 Excerpt reflects the. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.560 Substance of the Vice President's. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:47.280 Answer, which is a better story, a better explanation of 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.760 it than They're probably not happy at CBS the way 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.200 The New York Times boiled it down to one sentence. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.959 Yeah, I guess I mean more concise is and it 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.879 doesn't strike me that judgmental either way. 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.080 Honestly, New York Post version uncut. Now we're about to 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.960 play the actual clips, but uncut sixty minutes Kamala Harris 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.720 interview reveals word salad responses were heavily edited by sixty minutes. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.040 UH snipped Israel answer to just twenty words. Kamala Harris 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:22.320 gave a one hundred and seventy nine word meandering answer 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.640 on Israel that sixty minutes cut to twenty words, according 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:31.080 to the transcripts released yesterday. Wow, that's some editing. One 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.680 hundred and seventy nine word answer to twenty words. Now, 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.359 as executive producer, Hanson has been talking about as a 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.040 guy who's produced lots of different kinds of radio shows 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.920 and sports highlights and all kinds of different stuff. That's 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.000 what we do all the time the media business. Oh yeah, 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.680 you have to. You have to for all kinds of reasons, 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:56.840 time keeping people's attention, jazzing it up, making it punchy. 0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:00.439 The issue really seems to be to me that in 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:05.400 this particular case, the number one knock on the candidate 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.520 was they couldn't answer a question without going into word 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:09.200 solid mode. 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.120 I mean, that was like one of the key questions 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.960 with her, right a campaign issue. But what question are 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.800 we asking here? And I'll tell you the reason I 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:24.399 asked that. I mean, CBS is wildly biased, wildly and 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.959 I think most people know it. This lawsuit is nuts. 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.920 It'll be dismissed very very quickly. Well, so you're going 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:31.640 to the legal thing. I don't care about the legal thing. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.440 I think politically it's going to be damaging, absolutely damaging 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.960 to the media. Slash sixty minutes and vic st to 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.560 win for Trump, I think. And Trump doesn't think he's 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.119 going to win the lawsuit. I don't think. Oh no, 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:46.920 I think he just wants to people to talk about it. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.120 Although getting back to the New York Times article, right, 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.560 and we're talking about it in a way that suggests 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.800 that sixty Minutes did edit the answer to make her 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.399 look better, which you know, I'm sure he's very happy with. 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.520 But farther down in the New York Times article about this, 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:04.680 sixty Minutes argues that it did nothing wrong. It's common 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:08.920 practice for news organizations to edit for a blah blah bah. 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.679 Getting into the legal part of it. I want to 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:19.359 get this because this is really good sue. For the 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.360 legal part of it. Yeah, I should have highlighted this, 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.960 mister Troops. Lawsuit has led to angst at CBS, where 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.480 many staff members believe that any settlement would be a 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.240 symbolic concession to the President and an acknowledgment of wrongdoing 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.760 by sixty Minutes. Bill Owens, the executive producer of sixty Minutes, 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.600
