1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio and the George Washington

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: broadcast there arm Strong and Jetty Show. Yo yo yo.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: I will get to those stats later this hour. Mark

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Thiessen put together for his opinion piece in The Washington

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: Post today about how incredibly unlikely it is that you

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: get sick at all, and certainly how unlikely that you

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: die from COVID if you've been vaccinated, and unlikely it

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: is that your kids could possibly get it and die.

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's like getting struck by lightning

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: while you hold a winning lottery ticket in your hand. Unlikely.

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that a little bit later. But

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: joining the Armstrong and Getty Show right now is a

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: friend of the show, Mike Slater. You listen to him

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: every day noon to three on AM seven sixty in

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: San Diego. If you're not in Zaniego, whether you know

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: him or not, I don't know. Maybe you catch him

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: on What is This Thing? Mike? The first first online

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: TV networks on Pluto, Roku, Apple TV, everything, I'll streaming networks.

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the publicity photo that they got here,

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: and they got Buck Sexton on their Dana Losh Bill O'Reilly,

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly and you you're the only one that's smiling.

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Everybody else went with kind of a mysterious grimace sort

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: of thing, and you smile. Well, they put me on

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: the end too. It's it's like that debate where Trump said,

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: look at you, Jeff, look at you. You used to

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: be in the middle, and now you're falling off the edge. Right,

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: it's barely on the scene. Hey, did you have you

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: ever had Josh Rogan on from the Washington Post? Uh no?

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Is he the one who did that story that you're

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna talk about in a little bit. Uh no, he

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: we I just did like twenty minutes with him. He's

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: the best guy out there on sticking it to China

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: over this whole COVID origin thing. He is so freaking good.

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: So and his main point was that, Hey, most of

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: the scientists I talked to last weeks, say Rand Paul's right,

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: and Anthony Anthony founction he is kind of doing a

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: whole definition of what is is thing to try to

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: keep himself out of trouble. So we've been talking a

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: lot on the show, and I think conserving as they

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: really need to understand the depths and reach of China's

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: desire for global domination and how they're doing it with

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: the Belton Road initiative, and how they're doing it even

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: socially um soft power through TikTok and other propaganda means

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: throughout the world. It's insidious and no one's paying attention

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: to it. Well, this is my gift to you, Josh Rogan,

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: because he is so good on all that stuff, and

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: he's he's absolutely fantastic. And we were just talking about

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: So the w h O has got this Kovacs initiative

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: where they're trying to get vaccines to people all around

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: the world. China is doing zip on it, and we're

51
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: doing everything. And I just wish the Biden administration would

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: do a better job and the media would do a

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: better job of recognizing how worth such the good guys

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: and so many stories and China is such the bad guys.

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: So in this Covacs thing that everybody in the world

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: is supposed to be donating to, China has donated zero

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: dollars and zero shocks, where we have donated four billion

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: dollars already fifty five million shots and if like five

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: million more, it is absolutely But the w h ooa,

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about they licked the boots of China the

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: whole time they've been doing China's bidding. And that's China's

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: goal is to take over all these global institutions, whether

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: it's the W H O U, the U n uh

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: internet like global Internet Advisory Boards. They are doing it

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: with Chinese values and not American values. Jack, And I

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: tell you one real quick thing about masks I heard

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: just talking about Acondum the drama in the Slater home.

68
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Is my daughter three and a half years old. She's

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: three and a half now. She's so stinking cute. Oh yeah,

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I believe, like for round four is the perfect age

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: for children. I will I will babysit a four year

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: old any anywhere, anywhere in the world. You want me

73
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: to come babysit your four year old? So freaking cute?

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, old enough to talk to like self sustainable

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: enough you know, to change diapers. That there. So, she's

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: been looking forward to months, months to go to ballet months.

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: We finally got her and once. So all weeks she's

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: been decided to go to her first ballet lesson literally

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: this morning, Jack, she wakes up. The first thing she

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: says to me, is how many more sleeps? How many

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: more naps? Like? How many more sleep starting until ballet? Like?

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Was it now or is it after nap? Oh honey,

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: it's after your nap. It's gonna be so good. Last

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: night we got an email saying all kids are required

85
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: to wear masks, so we have to mask our three

86
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: and a half year old daughter, which I find to

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: be a monstrous imposition on anyone, let alone on a child,

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: for all the reasons that every single person listening to

89
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: your show now knows, uh, in order for our daughter

90
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: to participate in ballet. And I don't know what we're

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna do, because I'm not gonna break my little daughter's

92
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: heart and tell her she can't go today. And now

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I gotta strap her up like she's some leper. Strap

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: her up like a leper. You hate to do that.

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: So that's the drama today. Um, I get to say,

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I got the numbers right here since you brought it up.

97
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: This is from Mark Theeson and the on the Washington Post.

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: But he is actually just going with JOHNS. Hopkins Studies.

99
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: So there have been six thousand deaths in America as

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: we all know of COVID the number of people under

101
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: eighteen three hundred and thirty five can'ts or something and right,

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: and they have no idea at the c d C

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: whether they had, uh, you know, a co morbidity or

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: anything like that at this point, whether they died because

105
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: of COVID or with COVID. And but three hundred three,

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: even if it was straight out COVID, three hundred three,

107
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: five out a six thousand is such a nothing. It's

108
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: unbelievable that we were acting the way we are. Anyway, Um,

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: you were a swimmer, were you not? Yes, in college

110
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: and at a pretty high level. Uh. Yeah, how much

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: you want me to brag? Well, I want to I

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: the truth is not bragging, you know what. Just uh,

113
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: if you're if you're in C double a level swimmer,

114
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: you're a good swimmer. When I was twelve, I swim

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: next to Michael Phelps. How about that? Okay, that's what

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I was there. That's my claim to fame and the

117
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: pool and uh and you're good enough to actually do

118
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: it in college. So maybe you have some insight on

119
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: this whole mental breakdown of Simone Biles. What's what's your

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: taking that? Yeah, you never leave your team behind you

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: don't quit. How about that? For my mental any human

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: being can recognize, whether you do one athlete or you

123
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: do the elliptical at the gym once every year, you

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: don't quit. You keep going. Uh. And I want to

125
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: be very clear, I don't care about women's gymnastics at all.

126
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: That's one of the common criticisms gotten backs, like oh, Sarah,

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: are you making such a big deal about this. I

128
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: don't care about women's gymnastics. What this says about our

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: country today and our culture today and where we're going

130
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: says a lot. And this is what matters because people

131
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: are celebrating the fact that she quit. Yeah. So I'm

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: looking at the two articles in the USA today today. Um,

133
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: the headline at the top is I have to do

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: what's right for me, and then there are two different

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: articles underneath, some things are more valuable than gold and

136
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: on how she did something so special for all of us,

137
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: and then the article is it's brave and simply human

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: to protect themselves. You have made us so proud. No,

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking if Tom Bray quit during the halftime

140
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl and said everybody said I was

141
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: the greatest, and the pressure got to me. I don't

142
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: think this is the reaction it would be. So I

143
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: just think the it's interesting how we're treating a woman

144
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: versus a main during this period of time where women

145
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: and men are supposed to be the same. Great point.

146
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I love this. In the Week, the headline is Simone

147
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Biles is withdrawal is more impressive than winning. You're like, no, like, no,

148
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: that's definitely not more impressive. Hodah, who's like the Today

149
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: Show host and she's like the gymnastics liaison for NBC

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, she sent out this blowhardy tweet about how

151
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you've already won, Simone, and it's like, no, you have

152
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: definitely not already won, and no, no stretch of the

153
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: imagination did you already win? You quit your team, by

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: definition lost and you let your country down. I mean,

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: that's it's the Olympics. I don't really care it's women's

156
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: but you don't quit. I don't know why this is

157
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: ridiculous that people are like, oh, you know, you're such

158
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: a hero. If you do a Twitter search for Simone

159
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Biles and the word redefine, you have all these people writing, oh, Simone,

160
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: thank you for redefining what it means to be a champion.

161
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy, thank you for redefining, redefining strength and success

162
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: and what it means to be a teammate. And I

163
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: don't want to live in a country where losing is success,

164
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: quitting is winning, right Uh, Betraying your team is being

165
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: a good teammate. Weaknesses strength and that's where we are today.

166
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: That's why this matters. And you know, back to my

167
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: men versus women theory on this is how they handle

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: I think if Michael Phelps had quit and said, you know,

169
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: the pressure of being the greatest and being all the

170
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: ads had gotten to me, I think all the stories

171
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: should be about what a head case he is and

172
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: not and not about what a champion he is. Well,

173
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: especially if he did it behind the blocks, right before

174
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: he was about to jump into the pool, right. I'd

175
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: be one thing. If if Simone two months ago said

176
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't take it, I got the

177
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: yips and um now I just I don't want to

178
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: it's dangerous or whatever. We'd be like, oh, lame, but okay,

179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: let you get someone else a chance. But to do

180
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: it in the middle of the competition, that's pathetic and

181
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: we should not be celebrating it at all. It should

182
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: be defined as one of the greatest fall from graces.

183
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: I can't in sports history, I can't think of a

184
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: single instance of any other Olympic athlete ever quitting except

185
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: for physical injury. But even then you don't quit. Remember

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Carrie shrug, she broke her ankle, continued to do the

187
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: vault one ft won the gold medal totally Like we

188
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: love that, of course and innate in us we love

189
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: the overcoming. But that's our culture today, victimhood. We we

190
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: used to celebrate overcoming obstacles and now we celebrate not

191
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: overcoming off. That's hurting me. That's hurting me. Yeah, I

192
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: can't even, is the expressions. I can't even, and she

193
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: couldn't even, And we're supposed to celebrate that and I

194
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: can't be a part of that. That's an interesting point

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: text line. What do you think of that four five

196
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: k ftc um so when like, when you're at the

197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: height of you're taking swimming seriously, how many hours a

198
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: day or week or whatever you practice? Oh uh, four

199
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: three or four hours in the pool every day? Four

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: hours a day. Yeah, we'd swim. We've probably spent twelve

201
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand yards, so that's ten thousand yards is

202
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: seven miles a day. Oh my god. And I was

203
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I was d one, but I wasn't, you know, I

204
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: wasn't these guys like these guys, it's extremely difficult. There

205
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,119
Speaker 1: was actually a little bit yet they played before Um

206
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: she competed and she looked very sad and she was

207
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: talking about how she's old and injuries are hard and

208
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: it's difficult. And my wife and I both saw it,

209
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: looked at each other and we're like, oh, this is

210
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: like she's not in a good headspace. There's no doubt

211
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: about that and what these people have to do. But

212
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, you do it to be

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: the best. It's a high cost. It's a cost that

214
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: most people aren't willing to spend. And I would advise

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: most people not to do. Actually, I don't know. If

216
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: you want to be the best in the world at

217
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: a thing, No, I yeah, absolutely should. Joe was here.

218
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: He'd tell this one of his favorite stories. And I

219
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: forget who said it. It's um, somebody said to a

220
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: great piano player, one of the great small time and

221
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: I remember what was but I'd give my life to

222
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: play the piano like that. And he said, I did Um,

223
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: and you know that's very very true. If if you

224
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: pick a sport, musical instrument, or whatever, do I want

225
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: to put in the time in my entire life to

226
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: be as good as him? I actually don't know. I

227
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: really actually don't even if I had the talent to

228
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: do it, I actually don't know. You give up your family, right,

229
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: And let's just even do money. Right, Do you want

230
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: to be the richest, Do you want to be super

231
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: super rich? Well, you're working a hundred hours a week

232
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: and your kids hate you, so congratulations you have a

233
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: nice car. Yeah, Like it's not worth it, totally not

234
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: worth the cause of Tiger Woods, right, Tiger Woods best

235
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: in the world. His dad, his dad and him had

236
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: a safe word. It was enough if you said the

237
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: word enough tiger because his dad was so abusive, emotionally

238
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: abusive to him that if Tiger Wood ever said the

239
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: E word, they called it the E word. That was

240
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: the safe word to knock it off. And he never

241
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: used it. And his dad and him had a horrific relationship,

242
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: even though his portrayed as a as a great father

243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: son relationship. Um, and then he you know, you know

244
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: that everyone does us a story like he's found almost

245
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: dead all the time in his car from all the

246
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: pills and everything. Because you want to be the best

247
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: golfer in the world. Like, no, I'd rather be as

248
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: good at jack at the golf especially. We always talk

249
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: about that with the spelling Bee. Would I trade my

250
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: summers as a kid to be the next you? Not

251
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: even close? Yeah, that's interesting. Now listen, if you're going

252
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: to do it, you do it to the end. That's

253
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the other right. So if you're gonna be someone Boles

254
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: and you make the choice to take a spot away

255
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: from another girl on the team and to take the

256
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: weight of the country on your shoulders onesome, you do it.

257
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: You do it, and we will cheer you on. You

258
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: don't quit. Now. If she fell or or failed or

259
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: missed or slipped or whatever, we would still lift her

260
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: up as like ah bummer, like you didn't do it,

261
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: but it's okay, you tried. We can't live in a

262
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: country where we celebrate people who don't even try the

263
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: armstrong and yet show. So in San Diego, you know him,

264
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Mike Slater. He's on noon to three on AM seven

265
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: sixty nationally. You catch him on TV. I see a

266
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: popping up on shows now and then where else do

267
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: we catch him? Mike Slater um websites mic Slater on

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: locals dot com because I try not to be on

269
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: the socials too much. But yeah, that that's one interesting

270
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: thing about the Simone Biles thing is is how much

271
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: of it was the social media that got in her head.

272
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: And I can't believe her coaches even let her look

273
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: at social media. Let me go one step, Furst, this

274
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: is my my We'll go one deeper. Uh Naomi Osaka

275
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: familiar with her the tennis party, so she's all into

276
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: this called mental health thing, and she dropped out of

277
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: one of the tennis Grand Laguage because she didn't want

278
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: to do the media. And I kind of defended her

279
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: because I think those media post match press conferences are

280
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: really stupid and pointless, so I defended her. But then

281
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: she keeps dropping out of stuff because her mental health. Apparently,

282
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Simone bo this is the New York Times. Simone Bob's

283
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: watched a documentary that Osaka did on mental health, and

284
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I think that knocked her out. I think that messed

285
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: with her brain and she's like she like identified with

286
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: Osaka too much and became a quitter. I thought so

287
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I blamed her coaches for letting her get anywhere near

288
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: social media. As he said, it's also near Osaka. She's

289
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: a virus. Osaka is the virus you gotta stay sixty away.

290
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: So Mike Slater, who likes she criticize young women on

291
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: the line with abuse victims, that's the one I get

292
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: to like, don't you know she was a victim of

293
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: sexual abuse. It's like, okay, like did she forget that

294
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: until she was right behind the fault or something? She

295
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: just remembered that she was. That's what took her out.

296
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: Give me a break. So what's your hot take? On

297
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: the January sixth, heoring, Okay, I got a hot take,

298
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: and I got a conspiracy theory, which is interested in both.

299
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Let's do conspiracy theory. I thought I was red pilled.

300
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: And then I read the story about the governor of

301
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: Michigan the kidnapping plot, and how there's this whole plot

302
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: and everyone makes a movie up in their head about

303
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: how how she was kidnapped and gonna be kidnapped, like

304
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: it's some like the cage movie or something, right, And

305
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: there were It turns out there were twelve FBI informants

306
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: for six arrests. So it's like somewhere much closer to

307
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: twelve FBI informants and some guy who just wanted re

308
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: pizza in like a giant entrappedment set up, right, So

309
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, hold on. If the left wants

310
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: to paint a draw direct line from the kidnapping plot

311
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: of Governor Whitmer to the riot, the insurrection on January six, Okay,

312
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: let's draw it. How many FBI informants were there? How

313
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: many FBI informants were at the January six riot? That

314
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: that would be a good thing. And I wonder if

315
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: that will come out of that hearing or not. So

316
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: that's my that's my conspiracy theory. Take. I'm going deep

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: into that with Glenn Greenwalds. We was hoping for earlier.

318
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: I wish we could have, and it would take the

319
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: right makeup of the committee, and neither the Republicans or

320
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats want to do it. But I wish we

321
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: could get up there and have some sort of a kumbaya, say, hey,

322
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: how about we all agree and TIFA doesn't beat police,

323
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: BLM doesn't beat police, and uh and whoever, those guys

324
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: worth the Capitol don't beat police. We just don't beat police,

325
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: and like, can we all agree on that, just to

326
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: have one point of agreement. No, I can't do it,

327
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,359
Speaker 1: because this, this has to be used as a manipulative

328
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: tool to make every one of your listeners Jack a insurrectionist.

329
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: And I gotta get people to see that. To them,

330
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: you are an insurrectionist. You are a domestic terrorist. You

331
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: are a white supremacist. If you want, do you own

332
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: a gun? You're a right wing militia member. Whenever they

333
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: talk about domestic terrorists being the biggest threat to the

334
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: American homeland, they're talking about you. So it's getting to

335
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: be kind of like the whole white thing or institutional racism.

336
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: So we're all, oh, it's insidious. It's everywhere. You're You're

337
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: a white right wing militia member in waiting. You're you're ready.

338
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: You're just ready to erupt at any moment. Uh So

339
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: we need to crack down on you before it becomes

340
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: a problem, before there's an outbreak. Um, that's how that

341
