Speaker 3: Getty Armstrong and Jetty and Geez Armstrong and Getty Strong.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 3: We are so lazy.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: We're still at home. We're vacationing or whatever it is

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna do during this week. But we're not at work.

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 4: That's right, We're relaxing so we can come back ten,

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 4: rested and ready in the new.

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Year, or fat, draggled and hung over in my face.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, Enjoy the Armstrong and Getty replay.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 5: More than sixteen billion passwords for Google, Apple, Facebook and

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 5: other platforms have been.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: Leaked in one of the largest hacks of all time. Oh,

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: it's pretty scary. Now everyone knows your Facebook password, but

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: you where's it again? Pass through once he sees.

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 5: Like it seems like like once daily, I end up

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: at a website I haven't used in forever and it

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 5: needs the password, and I gotta go to whatever to

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 5: try to figure out what my password is.

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Just like, I keep thinking.

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 5: That we're going to get past this moment and it

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 5: will be something old people talk about years from now.

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 5: You used to have to have passwords for each site

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 5: and memorize them or write them down, or have a

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 5: nap that kept them or whatever. That that's gonna go away.

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 5: And well, they'll use our eyes or our thumbprints. I

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: don't know what they'll use.

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: But in the always vexing, when you're in the middle

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 4: of rushing through something, noticed that this password has appeared

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: on a list of hacked you know whatever the hell?

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: I would you like to change it now?

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: No?

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 5: No, No, I just assume all kinds of Russian mobsters.

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: I have my passwords.

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: I just want to get into this. I would opt

38
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 5: probably for a no password on most sites. I don't

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 5: care if you can get into my DMV information. How

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: about how about you let me in it with no

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: password whenever I want.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: To get in. Oh, you fool, You'll be hacked. And

43
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: then what hacked into my DMV information? All right, your nords?

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Some rack account out? What if the Chinese knew what

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: size pants you owned? Then what we got? A couple

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: of texts.

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: One an economics professor at high school, said he taught

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 5: why rent control didn't work and stuff like that, but

49
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: he has a feeling all the students remembered was whatever

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 5: TikTok video they were looking at well, it.

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Was we got another text. Why are you guys talking

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: about New York.

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: You don't think it's interesting that the biggest city in America,

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: maybe the most important city in the world, is about

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: to elect a communist as a mayor.

56
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: I find that pretty interesting. They never text again, they're

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: doing Yeah, am into that. Yeah, never text again, Never

58
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: text again.

59
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 5: So I got started on this jag because it's happening

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: at a local skateboard park, and it reminded me of

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: something that happened to me years ago in LA and

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: I wanted to tell this story again because it drives

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: me nuts. It's a great example of the conflict visions

64
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: that Thomas Soyll talks about between conservatives and progressives and

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: just different ways of seeing the world and stuff like that,

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: where I can't get in the mind. I can't even

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 5: understand the point of view of the people I'm about

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 5: to talk about, and they can't understand my point of view.

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: So we've got a local story here in Fulsome, California.

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: That's right, that Fulsome. I heard the training come and

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: coming around the bend, I shot a guy just for fun.

72
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Whatever. That whole thing fullsome skateboard park.

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: Where for a couple of reasons, they're talking about doing

74
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 5: away with the attendants at the skateboard park. The attendant's

75
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: job is to, it says, stop graffiti from happening, break

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 5: up fights, and to make sure skateboarders have helmets and

77
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: pads on. Wouldn't they skateboard The city is saying they

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: don't have enough money for the attendant. A whole bunch

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 5: of skateboarders showed up to various meetings and said, nobody

80
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 5: goes because nobody's.

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: Gonna wear all those paths. So what's the point.

82
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: I just saw a video up on the TV and

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: it showed one kid in this giant, glorious looking skateboard park,

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 5: one kids skateboarding, and it said on there it said

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 5: they've had five hundred and eighty people a month on

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 5: average during summertime.

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: That's nobody's I did the math. That's nineteen a.

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: Day or something like that. That's nobody. You should have

89
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: two hundred kids a day there. I've had this experience

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 5: drives me nuts. When I went to Los Angeles, my

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: son was super into skateboarding. One time we went we

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: went to La just to do like a tour of

93
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: skateboard parks. He'd never been to different ones, and I thought,

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 5: in LA's probably got a lot of great skateboard parks.

95
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 5: We'd been to the one on Venice Beach, and check

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: that out. As we traveled around, almost every skateboard park

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 5: we went to, which was empty on.

98
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: A beautiful day eighty degree.

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: Like it always isn't a la eighty degrees, slight breeze,

100
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 5: beautiful sunshine, empty skateboard park in the summertime, but an

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 5: attendant there saying, I'm sorry, you can't skate here because

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: you don't the pads because we didn't bring pads. I

103
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 5: always had him more a helmet, but he didn't have

104
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: elbow pads and knee pads and all that sort of stuff,

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: so he couldn't skateboard there. And the first one it

106
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 5: was like annoying. The second one it was like annoying

107
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 5: times five. By the third one, actually, I found a

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: skateboard park that was packed full of people's skateboarding because

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: they didn't have an attendant, got to skateboard for a while.

110
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: Tried a different skateboard park, also empty, with a person

111
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: there with a clipboard attending it, and that's when I

112
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 5: started getting angry and lecturing people and saying, yes, do

113
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: you realize there's a skateboard park like a mile from

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: here that's packed full of people's skateboarding, kids baking. You

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: have nobody here, So what are you accomplishing? Why did

116
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: you build a skateboard park. It's empty on a gorgeous date,

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 5: nobody's using it. Well, we need to make sure kids

118
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: are safe. Well, first of all, you don't, but you

119
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 5: might as well not have a skateboard park. Either have

120
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: one or don't. But you're not stopping kids from wrecking

121
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: a on their skateboard because they're not skateboarding, or they're

122
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 5: traveling further away to.

123
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: Go to some place where they don't have to wear pads.

124
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 5: And every I said this at several skateboard parks, and

125
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: all they did was look at me like I'm an

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 5: angry lunatic, partially because I was an angry lunatic.

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: But I like, I can't get in the headspace.

128
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 5: Of anybody who could be an attendant, or the parents

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: who think that's a good idea. Better to have an

130
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 5: empty skateboard park than to let our kids skin their

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 5: knees or elbows.

132
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 4: The paternalism probably a poor choice of words, since some

133
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: of these people are literally fathers, but the condescension, the

134
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: nannyism of it is disgusting to me. The idea that kids,

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, for the first time in human history, can't,

136
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: within reasonable bounds, assess their own risk tolerance and their

137
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: own willingness to endure gative consequences of overdoing it. I mean,

138
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: for the first time in human history, kids must be

139
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: protected from banging up their elbows and knees. I do

140
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: not get someone coming to that conclusion and being so

141
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: pleased with themselves.

142
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm horrified by it.

143
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm disgusted by it literally because I see what it's

144
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: doing the generation of kids, generations of kids.

145
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Why do kids have so.

146
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: Much anxiety because they haven't been allowed in general, because

147
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 4: they haven't been allowed to develop a sense of risk

148
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: tolerance throughout their lives and confidence that they.

149
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Know what they're doing. They're veal calves.

150
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: That's indisputable. It's been documented. As we've talked about before.

151
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: Europe has figured out that they're doing away with like

152
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: the super safe parts and stuff like that. They're moving

153
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 5: toward kids doing more dangerous stuff, banging their heads and

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 5: elbows and stuff more often because it's good for you

155
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 5: for all kinds of different emotional reasons. But I also

156
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: wonder just what it does to children. I know with

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: my kids, part of it, what it does to children

158
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 5: to see all these stupid, freaking they don't make any

159
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 5: sense laws. I know it's made my kids less respectful

160
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: of all laws, is what it's done. And of course

161
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: it would, because when you're confronted with stupid ones, it

162
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 5: makes you think everybody who makes laws is stupid.

163
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: So why would I pay attention to this one? Because

164
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: that one's obviously dumb.

165
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: If Thomas Jefferson were here, he might say, first of all,

166
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: what are those metal things flying through the sky? But

167
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: he would also say, this reminds me of that discussion

168
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: you guys had about rent controls like twenty minutes ago.

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: This is the same thing.

170
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: You have a market of faith or respect for the law,

171
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: and your sons have seen more and more stupid, useless,

172
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: paternalistic laws, their faith in the laws declining. They will

173
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: behave politically in a way that ends that as soon

174
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: as they can, if indeed, you can fight the nanty state,

175
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 4: and they will be beaten back by your son's disgust

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: with a paternalism.

177
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: I know a woman who is super nice and very

178
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 5: helpful to me, and just like the nicest person in

179
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: the world, have been very helpful to me in all

180
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: kinds of different ways of my life. But she told

181
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 5: me the story and I kept my mouth shut about

182
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 5: how when the skateboard park in my town opened up,

183
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 5: how she and another mom they would go there on

184
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 5: the weekends and set up and monitor to make sure

185
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: all the kids were wearing the proper pads and helmets

186
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 5: and everything like that. And she said she kept it

187
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 5: up for a summer or two, but they just couldn't

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: keep up the schedule.

189
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: I didn't.

190
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: I just like, were you a kid ever once? And

191
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 5: maybe a few girls didn't. Did you notice the boys

192
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: did bang their knees and have bloody E have scabs

193
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: on their elbows and knees constantly as a child, And

194
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: did you think that that was just awful like Aschwitz

195
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: or something like that, that they were having scabs on

196
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: their knees. It's like the most normal thing in the

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: world for a ten year old way to have a

198
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 5: scab on his knee.

199
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: I can't hold back. I generally say something in situations

201
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: like that. It's probably why I have very few friends.

202
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: But uh yeah.

203
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 5: Well I can't stop short of you're a psycho because

204
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: I think you are.

205
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: I see, that's your problem.

206
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 5: How do you not look around an empty skateboard park

207
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: and think, well, this is somehow self defeating. If we

208
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: have nobody using the skateboard park, I'm not sure what

209
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: we're doing here, right exactly?

210
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

211
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, yeah.

212
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 4: You gotta develop going from emotional gear one to five,

213
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: So you got to you gotta be able to settle

214
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: into two and three there and make the argument.

215
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: You know, I respectfully disagree.

216
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: I think kids need to take risks and get banged

217
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: up and learn that it won't kill.

218
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: Them and decide how risky they want to live their life.

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: It's great the kids get banged up. Were you not

220
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: a kid once? Do you think kids are built differently

221
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 5: now or they're like bones made of glass now and

222
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 5: they didn't used to be?

223
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: Every What is your thought process?

224
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: I just think it makes me insane that sort of thing,

225
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 5: all right?

226
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,400

Speaker 4: your heirs will fight it out and hate each other

233

252
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 5: I wonder why I can't let go of this stuff

253
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: as well as I can, Like I've had some unfortunate

254
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: breaks in my life that I've been able to mostly

255
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: let go of much better than I can let go

256
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 5: of this sort of thing.

257
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: We're driving around all these skateboard parks.

258
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 5: Finally, I was just getting Sam had been looking forward

259
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 5: to the skateboard park so much. It was our vacation.

260
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 5: We were there and we couldn't go anywhere. So I

261
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 5: finally found I had to go to like two stores.

262
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: Finally found a bike store where they sold knee pads

263
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: and elbow pads stuff like that, just so we could

264
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: go skateboard. We went to one and they said they

265
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: weren't the right kind of elbow pads. And I don't

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: think I've ever been angrier in my life.

267
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: And I just couldn't let it go. It was like

268
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: my head was gonna pop off.

269
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: I hate that feeling where I just it's a cognitive dissonance.

270
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: I just can't.

271
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 5: I couldn't make the empty skate park skateboard bark beautiful day.

272
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with this, It doesn't hurt anything to

273
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: bang your knee all fit into my head.

274
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: It just was making me crazy, right, right.

275
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: There is absolutely a vein of especially you know, it

276
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: clicked in my head when you got to that example

277
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: of oh yeah he's got elbow pads, but they're not

278
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: the right cod right. That is absolutely the intoxication of

279
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 4: power aiding what I was going to talk about here,

280
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 4: just the great CS. Lewis quote, which we've used many

281
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: times on the show. But of all tyrannies, a tyranny

282
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 4: sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be

283
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: the most oppressive. It may be better to live under

284
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: robber barons than under omniptent, moral, busybodies. The robber baron's

285
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity or greed may at

286
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: some point be satiated. But those who torment us for

287
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: our own good will torment us without end, for they

288
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,239
Speaker 4: do so with the approval of their own conscience.

289
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: So true.

290
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: I want to popular popularize the saying, maybe we gotta

291
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: get T shirts going safety third. Yeah, I and people

292
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: would ask what, wait, Wait, isn't the expression safety first

293
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 4: and the safe Maybe the back of the safety third

294
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: T shirt would have one courage, two curiosity three safety

295
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: safety third. Right, I'll bet I'm not talking about handing

296
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: your four year old of forty five, letting them squeeze

297
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: off a couple of shots. We're talking about kids riding

298
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: their bike at a park and playing ball.

299
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: I'm sure the one woman still tells stories about the

300
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 5: bald lunatic.

301
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: Okay, because I remember walking away.

302
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: Have fun monitoring your empty skateboard park.

303
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: You're doing a lot of good for the world. I

304
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: was so bad.

305
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, she cannot conceive of what you were trying to communicate.

306
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 5: Now she thinks, thank god, if I hadn't been here,

307
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: that lunatic would have let his kids skateboard.

308
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: Without knee pads. You know how many people would have died.

309
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: It's a it's a stereotype, and it's oversimplified because there

310
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 4: are many tough, smart, great women who have helped make

311
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: America great.

312
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: But we have.

313
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: Gone from maybe too much of a daddy society to

314
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: too much of.

315
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: A mommy song without doubt.

316
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: Oh, we are clutching our children to our aprons and

317
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: not letting them risk a single thing.

318
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: Good Lord, I'm strong, And.

319
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: Do you want to hear my favorite headline of the day.

320
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: Woman pleads guilty to lying about astronaut wife accessing bank

321
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: account from space station. That is definitely one of those headlines. Wait,

322
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I need to hear that one more time.

323
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: There's a lot happening here. Woman pleads guilty lying about

324
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: astronaut wife accessing bank account from space stace.

325
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I'd missed the first part.

326
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: The woman pled guilty to lying it never abowed her

327
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: lesbian astronaut wife draining the accounts from outer space.

328
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: I guess it's is it near space?

329
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 5: Where the did she drain the accounts herself and try

330
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: to blame it on her astronaut?

331
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

332
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the midst of a divorce. Yeah, and a

333
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: bitter custody battle over kids or a Cordeese French bulldogs

334
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: they're referring to their son. I believe it is a

335
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: human still could be a French bulldog. Uh, conceived through

336
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: ivy fertilization, carried by a surrogate. Mishaw, You got two

337
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: women in this relationship. Why do you need a surrogate?

338
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: It is lazy. I don't know. I'm sure we'll get

339
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: angry emails for that. Maybe you weren't biologically physically anatomically

340
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: able to carry a child.

341
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Were you just lazy?

342
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 4: You got who women's in this relationship granted the ones

343
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: in outer space. I get this so that it eliminates

344
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: the one. Eh boy. Anyway, I hope those two crazy

345
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 4: kids can work out their problems and co parents as successful.

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty the Armstrong and Getty Show.

347
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: Okay, what the hell was that?

348
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: Oh boy? Apparently netflick is Netflix. They're more than one flick.

349
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: Netflix is taking some flak for its upcoming ultra woke

350
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 4: film featuring a transgender coal miner fighting the patriarchy. I

351
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: have a feeling the transgender coal miner idea was pitched

352
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 4: and accepted a couple of years ago, when the trans

353
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 4: thing was a little hotter. Yeah, you kind of were

354
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: on the front foot. Yes, yes, and people were afraid

355
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: to say it. Strikes me as madness.

356
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: All of this.

357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: The Argentinian film Queen of Coal, which stars Marvel and

358
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 4: Star Wars star Pedro Pescal's real life transgender brother.

359
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 5: Accepted as a miner. Is there any way I can

360
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: get him to get out of my life. Stop showing

361
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: up on everything I want to watch.

362
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: Trans women dreams of working the coal mines, but in

363
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: a town steeped in a superstition and patriarchy. Carlita must

364
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 4: fight to earn her place underground. Well, it's all the execution,

365
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 4: so I guess you'd have to watch it. I probably

366
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: won't to decide whether or not it's good or not.

367
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 4: I had forgotten about Netflix.

368
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 5: I read an article the other day the founder, because well, Netflix,

369
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 5: you know, is trying to buy HBO and Paramount and

370
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 5: that whole merger thing and all that sort of stuff

371
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: coming together, and it'll be even bigger of a behemoth

372
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 5: than it already is. But that those two dudes started

373
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: with you could mail a DVD. I mean, they were

374
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: just trying to come up with a better blockbuster, is

375
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 5: what they did. And then they and then they they

376
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 5: changed on a fly. It's very much like Zuckerberg and Facebook.

377
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: I mean, Facebook wasn't intended to be what it ended

378
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: up being. I want to you know, making him a

379
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: billionaire is a completely different idea. But you're just nimble

380
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 5: enough to adjust with the times.

381
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty much.

382
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is interesting, and it reaffirms something I've long believed,

383
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: which is sometimes just try things because they might just

384
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 4: be one or two clicks off a really really good thing,

385
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 4: and you don't know until you dive in. But for

386
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: companies that successful to have started is it's you know,

387
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: not like Henry Ford started out to make dog food

388
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: and ended up making cars. Cars was the original idea.

389
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: But Facebook and Netflix especially, Yeah, you put your little

390
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: your DVD in the pouch and it had a postage

391
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: on it and you can mail it back.

392
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: So the story we want a feature right now. I

393
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: think this is of.

394
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 4: Enormous significance culturally in the United States, and it's.

395
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: Getting cruelly little coverage.

396
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 4: I've had to do a couple of news sirch to

397
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 4: find it, and sure enough I've found coverage. But has

398
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 4: to do with the Florida Attorney General James Upmeyer, who's

399
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 4: got a couple of lawsuits that he's announced. The one

400
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 4: that's getting much more attention is that he's suing Starbucks,

401
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: alleging the company uses racial discrimination and illegal hiring quotas

402
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 4: illegal race based quotas. The lawsuit alleges that in twenty twenty,

403
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: Starbucks set it's diverse representation goals were to hire people

404
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: of color in forty percent of retail and distribution center

405
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: jobs blah blah blah, and they're actively discriminating against hiring

406
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: people of a certain race that would be non people

407
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 4: of color. So anyway that one's getting a lot of attention,

408
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: I had to do some digging to find more than

409
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: a bit of coverage on this story. Florida is filing

410
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: a lawsuit against three medical groups that push children into

411
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 4: transgender mutilation procedures, as I prefer to call them, because

412
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: that's what it is. They cause permanent changes based on

413
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: incredibly shaky real.

414
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: Is it fair to say there's zero medical need? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely.

415
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 4: The only people who say that there are are radical

416
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: gender activists who claim that gender affirmation is a thing.

417
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: But you have to.

418
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 5: Pretend there's genuine medical need to do the surgery, don't you.

419
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: Otherwise you're what the hell are you doing?

420
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: Well? Right, You're just like cropping the tails of dogs

421
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 5: or something.

422
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: You're just doing something for well.

423
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the horrible genital mutilations in Africa

424
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: or what have you.

425
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: It's it's terrible, it's awful.

426
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: As I've said a thousand times, we will look back

427
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 4: on this with horror and people will be astounding. That

428
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: astounded that the various authorities, medical and legal allowed these

429
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: experiments to take place. Anyway, here's the Florida Attorney General

430
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: explaining himself, it's a little longish, but he does a

431
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: really good job laying it out.

432
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: This is Attorney General aims in legal action against several

433
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 6: powerful medical organizations, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health,

434
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 6: the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Indocrine Society. We

435
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: believe these organizations failed to disclose the risks, limits, and

436
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 6: evidence when promoting so called gender affirming care for children.

437
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 6: For years, these groups insisted their recommendations were settled science,

438
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: but behind closed doors, they knew the evidence was weak.

439
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: They knew the outcomes uncertain, and the risks very real.

440
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 6: Parents were not told the full story. In fact, some

441
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 6: parents were told that if they didn't put their kids

442
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 6: through permanent life altering sick procedures like double missectomies and castration,

443
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 6: that their child would commit suicide.

444
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

445
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 6: Not only is that unethical and dangerous medicine, but it

446
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: is against the law. Children were irrevocably harmed because truth

447
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 6: was replaced with political activism. When organizations make medical claims,

448
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 6: they have a duty to be honest. When they intentionally

449
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 6: misleave families, their members, and the medical profession, we hold

450
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: them accountable. Florida will always follow the evidence, protect children,

451
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: and defend parents' rights to make informed decisions.

452
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 5: None of that is new news, obviously, but man, when

453
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 5: it's laid out like that, it's just unbelievable. You got

454
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: a mom and a dad who haven't been following this

455
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 5: story in a freaking experts using my finger quotes tells you, well,

456
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: you've got no choice. You're twelve year old believes they're

457
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 5: a girl, and if we don't do the surgery, they'll

458
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 5: kill themselves.

459
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: All studies show you that.

460
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: But they say, and all studies show that a thirteen

461
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: year old girl surrounded by other thirteen year old girls

462
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 4: saying the same thing, they know with certainty that indeed

463
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 4: they are in the wrong body and need to be sexually.

464
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: Don't question them.

465
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: Don't talk about their autism, their depression, their alienation, don't

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: talk about any psychological problems. In fact, if you do that,

467
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: that's deprogramming or what do they call it, the gay

468
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: conversion therapy. Yeah, you're practicing conversion therapy. And that's been discredited.

469
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 4: It's an insidious conspiracy.

470
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 5: But what did the doctors use for their legal rationale

471
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: that their recommendations from the those various boards. Well, if

472
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 5: if I go to the doctor and say I'd like

473
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 5: you to remove my nose, I think most ethical doctors

474
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 5: are going to say, I'm not going.

475
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 4: To do that, right, right, the intersection of these activist

476
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 4: organizations like WPATH, that was the first one he mentioned.

477
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: They're infamous. They have foisted so many awful, un replicable,

478
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 4: thoroughly discredited, discredited studies that have influenced, you know, the

479
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: sex change industry around the world for a number of years.

480
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: Those were the studies that Europe took a serious look at,

481
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 4: and the CAST report in Sweden, famously in the Netherlands

482
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, there is no evidence based

483
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: science to support these claims. And they hit the brakes

484
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: hard and put the car of child sex changes hard

485
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: in reverse all across Europe because they realized that these

486
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 4: studies were utterly fictional. That's w PATH, the American Academy

487
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 4: of Pediatrics, which sounds so wait a minute, their kid doctors, right, No,

488
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 4: they are a leftist activist group. They've been captured by

489
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: these activists, as has the Endocrine Society. If you're not

490
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: familiar with the term, it has to do with hormones. Oh,

491
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: like selling hormones and prescribing hormones and that sort of thing. Yeah,

492
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 4: they're down with it. So this one's going to be

493
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 4: super interesting to follow. Something tells me that the Attorney

494
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: general there, mister Upmeier, is going to file suits, not

495
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: in some sort of crazy the ass woke Biden nominee

496
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: court district.

497
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: We'll see.

498
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 4: And the you know, the Starbucks thing is huge, too impactful.

499
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: So of course this is reported as a horror in

500
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: the New York Times, but it's about this person that

501
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: had bad cancer and was into their teenth surgery. A

502
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: trans person a.

503
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 5: Man who now went by a woman, decided to secretly

504
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 5: record the surgery, and then what this person heard the

505
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 5: surgeons say was horrifying and shocking. She recorded the surgery,

506
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 5: the person saying, I just wanted to know, like in

507
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: case they gave any medical advice. You know, why I'm

508
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: on an under anesthesia I heard.

509
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: Or something like that.

510
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I wanted to know what's going on.

511
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: I'm reading from the New York Times. She recounted.

512
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: She turned on the audio recorder on her phone before

513
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: the anesthesia hit.

514
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting.

515
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: I've I've been in such I don't remember having the

516
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 5: opportunity to have my phone with me or record, but.

517
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: Anyway me neither.

518
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, the surgeons were removing part of her lung. She

519
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 5: she did not get around to playing the recording until

520
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: a few weeks later. Though the audio was muffled, she

521
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: could follow somewhat the surgical team was saying. Before the

522
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: procedure began, someone was going out for coffee. Did any

523
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 5: want somebody want something from Starbucks? Then the conversation shifted.

524
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 5: Still has man parts, said one of the medical crew.

525
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: It seemed to miss Capasso. That's the person in question

526
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 5: that they were talking about her genitalia. Yeah, I think

527
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 5: you were correct and deducing that good guess. On the recording,

528
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: the healthcare workers express a variety of opinions about transgender identity,

529
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 5: more generally not that it's not right, but said one person,

530
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: I don't get any of it.

531
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: Another says, And in the.

532
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: Middle of the conversation, one person suggested updating the patient's

533
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: medical file.

534
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and needs to say mail.

535
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 5: One of the medical team said, because that's a male

536
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: is why, Yes, the patient said. It appeared that the

537
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 5: hospital staff had in fact changed the electronic medical records

538
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 5: all while the new York Times says she was unconscious

539
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 5: with the records now marked as M for male.

540
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: Some hospital staff members had referred.

541
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 5: To her as sir during the weekly appointments after the surgery,

542
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: probably because it's a dude. Others made a big deal

543
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 5: about her being transgender. One person, perhaps taunting her, says,

544
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: this person, I don't think so. I think they were

545
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 5: going along with your thing, perhaps trying to be supportive,

546
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: said things like yes, queen, also.

547
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 4: Unwelcome, said miss Capasso. That's what young people say these days.

548
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 5: That's supportive, but some person going along with your wants

549
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 5: also gets criticized.

550
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: You can't win here.

551
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 4: I take no joy in the fact that this poor

552
00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: person A has cancer and B is a paranoid, you know, activist, lunatic.

553
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: But they clearly are. It's sad they're to be pitied.

554
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: That's an interesting one. And then we'll take a break.

555
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: But so ms.

556
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 5: Capasso said that she asked the hospital administration to switch

557
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 5: the male designation back to female, and she received a

558
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 5: surprising answer, it couldn't be done anytime soon. What is

559
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: the hospital supposed to do because certainly from a medical

560
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: standpoint and the way the you know, human body might

561
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 5: react to things as a male versus a female.

562
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: You gotta leave it male.

563
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're a dude, dude. Sorry, Wow, that's an interesting one.

564
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: I'm surprised that hasn't been worked out legally yet.

565
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: Present as a man, a woman, an ostrich, rodeo, clown,

566
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: whatever you want, but medically speaking, you're a male and

567
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 4: a discussion.

568
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 5: So our medical professionals supposed to keep those conversations to

569
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 5: themselves while you're asleep. That's an interesting question itself. So

570
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: they're having it. I don't know about the whole transgender thing.

571
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: I don't get any of it while you're asleep. Oh

572
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 5: that's just awful. How dare they shut?

573
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: At the Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah, show podcasts and

574
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: our hot links.

575
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty Show. My eye was caught by this.

576
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 4: They're talking about the Kensington Avenue open air drug market

577
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia, which they call the country's most notorious San Francisco.

578
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: I think had had that wrapped up for a while.

579
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: Around the Civic Center assists, man, you could get anything

580
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: all the time. Junkies everywhere, watch out for the poop.

581
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: So is it Salvadoran's selling drugs openly? Cops had walk by.

582
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: It's amazing. But so they're talking about this Kensington Avenue

583
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 4: in Philly. For years, the street ran on heroin. Then

584
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: the gang started putting fentanyl or fetti in the dope.

585
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: I didn't know fentanyl had any nickname, but it's fetti.

586
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: Sounds cute. Get a little fetti in with your heroin.

587
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: Then came the animal tranquilizers was seen jack known simply

588
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 4: as tank trank. That's right, it'll rot your flesh right

589
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 4: off your limbs. That's the one that puts holes in

590
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: your legs.

591
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: Delightful.

592
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 4: But wait, just when you thought there can't be any

593
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: more new drugs, there's a new one. Medatomidine medaomidine, yeah,

594
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: or something like that delivers a shorter, more powerful high

595
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: than the varieties of dope that preceded it, and the

596
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: crash is faster and more brutal. By some estimates, it's

597
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: two hundred times stronger than the trunk.

598
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 5: I tried the trank and it put holes in my legs.

599
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 5: I'm looking for something that burns my eyeballs out of

600
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 5: the sockets.

601
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Do you have anything like that?

602
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: Junkie Tony, who they interview, says there's no stages to

603
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: the high, you go straight to sleep.

604
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute, I don't understand that.

605
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 5: That's like the trank with the lean where I've seen

606
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 5: him in San Francisco where they're just leaned over up

607
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 5: against a wall.

608
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, what kind of party is that?

609
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what the withdrawal is from these

610
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: various things. Either I don't know, to make up a

611
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: hit or stamp. According to the junkies, the dealers mixed

612
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: the let's just call it med with fentanyl. Udrugs have

613
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 4: a jackhammer, which continues to be the leading cause of

614
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: overdose death in the US. The drugs are then packaged

615
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: in small paper wraps, each stamped with a Cruise brand.

616
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: Hot Sauce is one drug Cruise brand Pringles. I see

617
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: that's I'm sorry, that's a copyright infringement, Blackjack or Sunshine.

618
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 4: They cost two to five dollars depending on the size.

619
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 5: Wow, you can get a sleep, apparently is what their

620
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 5: goal is, leaning up against the wall with sores.

621
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: In your legs for two bucks.

622
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 4: Right then they talked to Christine, a forty one year

623
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 4: old Philadelphi who doesn't look at day over seventy. She's

624
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: more got more scabs than I have eyelashes. You if

625
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 4: I do a certain stamp, I have to have that stamp,

626
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: she says. I try to do other stamps, it won't

627
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: get me.

628
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: Well.

629
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: Wow, she's at that point of addiction where she takes

630
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: drugs just to feel even close to normal and not

631
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: horribly sick.

632
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 5: But your physical addiction is you've got to have the

633
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: particular blend of that.

634
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

635
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: By the way, she's suffered a mere five heart attacks

636
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 4: triggered by the med withdrawal. She said, so far forty

637
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: one she had five heart attacks.

638
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 5: So I'm doing the sunshine, and that's the kind that

639
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 5: I need to continue to do. I get in a sunshine,

640
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 5: I'm getting notes of caramel and then it's got a

641
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 5: chocolatey finish.

642
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

643
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 4: I'd throw up my back twisting my screen so that

644
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 4: you can see this poor woman, but she's sirious.

645
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: If you were.

646
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: It's like a stock photo from Soviet era Russia where

647
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 4: the seventy year old babush struggles to gather potatoes.

648
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, she looks like that, right, five art attacks? Yeah, wow,

649
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: good party.

650
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: The effects of each stamp very slightly from block to

651
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: block due to a variety of other adulterants, but usually

652
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 4: a result in abrupt unconsciousness and extreme sedation. You do it,

653
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: you wake up, you're sick. You don't even know you're

654
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: passing out. But this isn't like nodding off Long Kensington Avenue.

655
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: People shuffling near catatonic states, bent at right angles, some

Speaker 4: frozen mid stride.

657
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: That's the lean.

00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna And you get withdrawal symptoms within two hours.

659
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: I want to know, exponentially more punishing than heroin. Withdrawal

660
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 4: exponentially more punishing, and you.

661
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 5: Gotta be on it within one hundred and twenty minutes.

662
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: Here you get withdrawals.

663
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you got to use the same kind you

664
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 5: were using again, the blend that's got notes of chocolate

665
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 5: and a raspberry finished hot Yeah.

666
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,480

Speaker 4: Christine describes brain zapps, vomiting, many seizures, paralysis and even

668
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 4: violent swings, and heart rate and blood pressure, hence her

669
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 4: quintuple infections.

670
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: Good.

671
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 5: She didn't mention scrammeting, though that is unique to that one.

672
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 5: Marijuana makes you scream and vomit at the same time.

673
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 5: Oh more and more teens with that. I want to

674
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 5: talk about that maybe tomorrow.

675
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 4: But if she doesn't hustle enough cash to stave off withdrawal,

676
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 4: she'll inevitably have a heart attack and collapse on.

677
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 5: The street, and you need it every two hours. Of course,

678
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 5: the upside is it's only two bucks.
