<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:10.600

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and Jato arms Strong and Getty. Could he come inside?

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Though?

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, you're groundated? No, my friends show me that one.

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 3>They're ground You go outside?

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's different for you because you would rather be

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>inside your corner shops.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>To be outside. You need to be a kid.

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Do something out here. There's a lot of things you

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>can do. Climb the tree, jump the fence. I don't

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 2>really care, go tea the audition neighbor.

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not worry. You have to be creative. What do

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to do inside?

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Anyways?

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's the probable.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, that kid sounded like he was reading

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>from a script. But I had a very similar conversation

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>with my son last night, like in a very serious way.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>He was breaking down emotionally over this, over the whole

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>thing I talked about over the last couple of weeks.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting rid of Netflix and Disney and all that

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>different sort of stuff. As I've been encouraging him for

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a long time. Got to come up with other things

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to do. He's homeschooled, so he has more time on

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>his hands than his brother does. But uh, it's I

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>do have some sympathy as a guy who loves to read.

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I find it difficult to read now because my brain

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>is warped from looking at my phone. And I didn't

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>start looking at my phone until I was forty five.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know, if you've been if you've been doing

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>that your whole life. Just the pace of things being outside.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to get a stick and like digging the

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>dirt at their point, which is what I did sometimes,

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>but just the pace is just so slow.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 5>We need and this is my ten million dollar idea

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 5>that I'm too shift list to actually implement. We need

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 5>electronic detox programs, and I know they exist, but they

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 5>need to be like well known and popular where whether

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 5>as an adult or as a parent or whatever. Maybe

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 5>the kid himself realizes I am making myself insane. I

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 5>need two weeks in the woods to decompress, get weaned

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 5>off the devices, get back in touch with the reality.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean actual real reality, not virtual reality reality.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I need it myself, right, I camba have we done?

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what are human beings doing to themselves?

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 5>You know quote unquote tech I swear is the apple

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 5>from the tree and knowledge in the Book of Genesis.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 5>It is the the thing we cannot handle as a species.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Troubles me greatly and I only think about it every

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>single day. So well, we're gonna do oh oh.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Speaking of kids, I wanted to bring this up and again,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 5>you're not gonna hear this anywhere but here. Even though

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 5>it's a huge, huge story, and especially in the wake

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 5>of the recent Supreme Court oral arguments, the UK has

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 5>banned puberty blockers for gender confused children indefinitely. It's an

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 5>unacceptable safety risk quote unquote. Existing emergency measures banning the

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 5>sale and supply puberty supressing hormones will be made indefinite

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 5>following official advice from medical experts. Any medical expert that

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 5>is not utterly corrupted by radical gender theory can look

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>at the evidence and see what the CAST report saw

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 5>and say, wow, there is no evidence that this is

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 5>worth all of the risks and the side effects and

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 5>the injuries and eighty five percent of kids grow out

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 5>of it within six months anyway, and the rest of it.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know what to say other than that

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 5>the UK has made their very very strong decision, joining

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 5>half a dozen other European countries that are doing exactly

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 5>the same thing.

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>So the biggest political story of the day to me,

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think this can't be overstated, is how high

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is right now as a politician compared to

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>where he once was. There might not be a example

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of this throughout world history of anybody being as low

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>as somebody was and as high as somebody was as

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>right now with Donald Trump, it is absolutely amazing. So today,

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>in case you didn't know it, he rang the bell

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to open the New York Stock Exchange, which no president

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>or president elect has done since Reagan. So it's been

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>forty years for whatever reason. But there's a video out

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>of when Donald Trump gets told this yesterday, when somebody

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.559
<v Speaker 1>comes to us, say, hey, we just got the news

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>the New York Stock Exchange is invited you to ring

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the bell. Nobody, no president has done it since Reagan

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighty two or whatever it is. It And

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you can just tell the I mean, the guy who's

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>grown up in New York. New York is his home town.

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, being successful wherever you went to

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>high school, sure, I mean, and at the same day

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Time Magazine names You're gonna be on the cover of

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Time magazine, which Trump is an old man, it still

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>really means something to be Time Magazine's person of the year.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh you know who else is Time Magazine's person of

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 5>the year Jack Perhaps you've heard of him Hitler.

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And so the combination of those two things with this

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 1>CNN poll that is out, first of all, the CNN

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>poll on how do you feel Trump is handling the transition?

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five forty five approved. He's got a ten point win.

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>We're just a couple of weeks ago he was Hitler

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>according to everyone, exception for people who are going to

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>vote for Trump.

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 5>And to me, the most interesting part of the transition

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 5>the way it's being run is he's more or less

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 5>the president already.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely.

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 5>I wish we could revive James Madison and have him say, yeah,

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 5>have the new guys start early. The old guy's not

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 5>doing anything, so let's get started. Because that's the feel

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 5>of it, according to Democrats.

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>According to Politico over the weekend, unnamed Democrats in the

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 1>White House saying, yeah, it feels like Trump's the president already.

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Democrats and the White House are saying that. I mean,

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it's absolutely amazing. So they break it down your choices

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>on here are a lot of confidence, some confidence, no

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>real confidence, no opinion. And here's all these different categories

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that Trump's killing it in. Dealing with the economy. You

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>add up a lot of confidence with some confidencies at

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>sixty five percent in the you know, positive territory on

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the economy, handling the war between Russia and

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's sixty two, dealing with immigration policy sixty providing real

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>leadership for the country fifty nine, handling foreign affairs. God

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Ian Bremer and people like him constantly writing how nervous

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>world leaders are now that Trump's coming back in the eyes. Okay, well,

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Americans are fifty five percent of them either a lot

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>or somewhat okay with way He's going to handle it,

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Appointing the best people to office fifty four percent, and

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>then the most amazing one given January sixth, using the

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>power of the presidency responsibly fifty four percent. He's above

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty on all of those categories. It's stunning. Yeah, yeah,

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>how much of it is the positive Trump thing? How

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>much of it is the negative Democrat thing? They're just

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>so not liked or respected or trusted. Yes, that's a

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>great question.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 5>I was just gonna say, I would love to think

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 5>long and hard about this and question others from a

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 5>completely non partisan point of view. Just trying to understand

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 5>how an electorate moves from one place to another is

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 5>part of it. Just the dimming of memories, the when

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Lestrei's hand sung, those too painful to remember, we simply

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 5>choose to forget. Is there a certain amount of that

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 5>of the negatives of Trump? As you point out, Well,

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 5>it's a binary choice, and the current guy is just

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 5>a miserable loser. So yeah, we're gonna go with the

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 5>next guy.

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So final thing on this. Democrats are

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>still trying to do a bit of an autopsy, not

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 1>just on the election but on their party, like where

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>are we and what's the future and everything like that.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Polling suggests that Trump is ideologically closer to the median

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>voter than Kamala Harris Shock. Third Way, which is a

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>centrist democratic think tank their job is to figure this

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff out to get Democrats elected, conducted a post election

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>survey asking voters to place themselves Harrison Trump on a

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>scale ranging from zero very liberal to ten, very conservative.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 1>The mean response was two point four point five for Harris,

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>just dang close down to the liberal end, seven point

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>seven eight for Trump. For all voters it's five point

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>sixty three. So Trump is way closer to where the

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>average American is than Kamala Harris. I mean it's not

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>even close. No wonder he won. Yeah, yeah, that's striking.

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought I had it and that's with me. And

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>if you lean Wright, it's good news because the Democratic Party,

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>if they want to have any say whatsoever, is going

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to have to move closer to us if they want

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to have any say whatsoever.

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, and for the emptieth time of the media is

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 5>just a far left freak show. I mean, nobody.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Believes what they believe.

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 5>Statistically speaking, Why are they still in business?

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, they're they're rapidly going out of business.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 6>Ah.

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 5>One final thought on that, and this is so remarkable

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 5>to me. I find no need to relitigate the election.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 5>But after the election they hold this event. I think

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 5>it's at Georgetown again. I'll bet I could find it

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 5>real quick. But where the heavyweight of the two candidates

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 5>campaigns get together and they compare notes and they make

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 5>jokes and they cast dispersions and that sort of thing.

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 5>And it's most Americans are totally unaware of it. But

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 5>if you're a Beltway freak, I mean, this is the

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 5>super Bowl. It's crazy interesting if you're into campaigns. And

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 5>Carl Rove just wrote a piece for The Wall Street

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Journal that at Today's at this year's autopsy, the higher

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 5>ups in the Harris campaign were saying, we ran a

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 5>flawless campaign. We hit all the notes. Wow, it was

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 5>mostly misogyny and that sort of thing. And they were

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 5>dead blank and serious.

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Good good, good luck, good luck with that, Good luck

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>with thinking that's it, Good luck with ignoring this think

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>tank who said you're way out of step with the

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>mean American You're not even close. Go ahead and think

0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>it's misogyny, racism, please do. Okay, So it's Harvard.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 5>As it turns out, Kamala Harris's campaign of chief of staff,

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 5>Sheila Knicks, jolted the conference Thursday night by boasting that

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 5>Democrats ran a pretty flawless campaign. In quotes, Ms Harris

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 5>did all the steps that were required to be successful,

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 5>she claimed, we hit all the marks. This earned derision

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 5>from Trump campaign co manager Chris Lsovita, as it should have.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 5>And then he gets on to the you know, well,

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 5>the obvious problems with her campaign and the electorate not

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 5>separating yourself from Biden. We don't need to go over

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 5>that again. But it is just amazing to me the

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 5>extent to which these people are are siloed and still

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 5>clueless about what happened. And as you said, well, good.

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Katie brought us this headline last week. I came across

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it and read a little bit about it. I'd rather

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>die hot than live ugly. Tanning mania returns oh It

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that at the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence was ridiculously bronze.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.439
<v Speaker 1>So is Bradley Cooper and one other actor just like

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy tan and so it is like, you know, like

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>fashion comes in and out, being over the top. Ten

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>is back. I guess I know a couple of people

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>who are ten.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 7>Guy.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, huh. I might have to get tan soon.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Every time I go to my dermatologist, I lose a

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 5>knife fight. So I don't I don't think it's a

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 5>great idea. I'm not going to get actual sunshine. That's

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.719
<v Speaker 5>what's surprising to me that it's people. One of the

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Kardashians posted something she's got a tanning bed in her office,

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 5>so she regular that's horrible.

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to do that, but uh, I'll let

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>him spray me. I can look bronze like Bradley Cooper.

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Does that protect you at all? Or does it do nothing?

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Interesting question? I have no idea is there? Does it

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 5>reflect U V A and UVB raised I don't know,

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 5>because we all.

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Know if you're tan, you don't burn his as is

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>when you're pale. Does that help if you spray tan?

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Or will you burn as if you were? Why does

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the sheet of paper, which is what I actually am.

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 5>I once asked a dermatologist friend, which sunscreen do you recommend?

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 5>And she said the one you reapply. Yeah, that's the key.

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't last all day anyway. Word to the wise. Oh,

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.439
<v Speaker 5>which reminds me delighted to be on the air in

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 5>beautiful Vero Beach, Florida now on the mighty Vero Patriot Cool.

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>So thanks very much for having us folks.

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 5>As we often say, the shows a little different than

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot of talk radio. Give it a little while

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 5>to get used to it, and if you still don't

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 5>like it, give it a little longer.

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, anyway, you get you can adapt to anything, you

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>can get used to anything. That's a good point. You

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>keep a listening, it'll be all right.

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Last week we were talking about the fact that so

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 5>many protests that end up on the evening news feature

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 5>professional protesters, and we heard via email from a handful

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 5>of folks who have friends and relatives who've done it,

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 5>and yeah, they're unmailing lists and they're told, all right,

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 5>get on this bus to Portland. Be there, we'll cover

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 5>your travel expenses and blah blah blah and pay you,

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, fifty bucks a day for your trouble. And

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 5>you got people who do this, which is just ridiculous.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>So you get there and then they hand you a

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>big placard that says my body, my choice or something

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>like that, and you stand outside a building. Yeah up

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>with this or down with that.

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 5>Frequently you don't even know what you're going to protest

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 5>for against until you get there. And you know, you

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 5>combine that with the fact that if you have people,

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 5>if you have half a dozen people shouting angrily, the

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 5>news media will come with a camera and push it

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 5>as close as they have to so that that number

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 5>of people, be it six or sixty, fill the frame,

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 5>and as I often say, they'll have, you know, a

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 5>couple of dozen people chanting angrily on the steps of

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 5>the Supreme Court. There are five times that many sitting

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 5>right now watching a high school basketball game somewhere, and

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 5>nobody's covering that.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>So add this to that. This is in the Liberal

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>LA Times.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Paid protester company looking to hire seven foot three hundred

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 5>pounds giants quote unquote for intimidation factor.

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>A lot of seven three hundred pound people to hire.

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 5>I would say ask for a lot of money if

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 5>you are one of the aforementioned behemoths. But Crowds on

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 5>Demand is a Beverly Hills based company that provides quote

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 5>incentivized activism.

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that for companies and.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Groups looking to fill out events and demonstrations with totally real,

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 5>totally paid activists. The company recently posted a job opening

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 5>for people over seven feet tall and three hundred pounds, crowds.

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I could get to if I eate enough. I can't

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>get a foot taller, though.

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 5>So Crowds on Demand founder and CEO Adams Swartt says

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 5>the gigantic protestors will mostly be used to turn heads

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 5>for the corporate side of the business that provides crowds

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 5>for new startups and product launches.

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way.

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 5>It can't help or it can't hurt that it will

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 5>be intimidating in a positive sense, he said.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>When is intimidating ever in a positive sense, well.

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 5>He means attractive. It will attract attention. It's positively intimidating. No,

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 5>it's a torture of the language. There are only seventy

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 5>such adult men in the United States between the ages

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 5>of twenty and forty, according to a recent Sports Illustrated article.

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Seventy Yeah, rough, Wow, that's not very many. Yeah.

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 5>So if you're a giant and would like to stand

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 5>around chanting what was that phrase?

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Again?

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.400

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.440

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 9>Manjoni's case has become a cause, with admirers posting videos

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 9>on Instagram. The social media profile gained hundreds of thousands

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 9>of followers after his arrest, and the police department that

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 9>arrested Manchoni has been threatened. His lawyer's office has been

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 9>inundated with calls from people offering to pay his legal bills.

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not only in the digital world. We saw a

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>lookalike contest in New York.

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.119
<v Speaker 10>People are selling things or we're selling things with Mangoni's

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 10>image on.

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Etsy and with the whole denied delay defend or the

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 5>deposed variation that this murderer came up with, and the

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 5>response to it's been very, very odd and troubling, and

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 5>you want to ask these people, all right, the CEOs

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 5>of what other industries, and how many of them including women?

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 5>How about minorities? Do they all get murdered if you

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 5>don't like their company's polls? Oil companies perhaps, I don't know,

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 5>tobacco carmakers, and nobody seems to have an answer for that.

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.719
<v Speaker 5>You know, it occurred to me Jack just now, as

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking about this, I wonder how much of

0:18:55.640 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 5>this is that such a high percentage of our interactions

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 5>with any human beings are third hand via the Internet,

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 5>and so they don't seem like real human beings at all.

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 5>You get a character on TV got gunned down, Oh

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm so in Manhattan. Absolutely, it's not a real human being.

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 5>It's just a TV show.

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, and then if you combine the coin of the

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>realm in twenty twenty four, for communication is just over

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the top. I mean, that's just the way we all

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>talk now, at least online, that's the way people talk. Certainly,

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.679
<v Speaker 1>it's so over the top. Maybe those two things coming together,

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do people mean this as we As we've

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>experienced before, we've had some situations with some really nasty

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 1>textures emails who were violently threatened, and we turn it

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>over to cops or investigators or something like that, and

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>as soon as there's any pushback whatsoever there all I know,

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean you that I love the show.

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it's amazing about face Michael. One more montage

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.159
<v Speaker 5>if you would clip number thirty eight. This is, you know,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 5>media and social media reactions.

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 10>I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 10>think that's why I felt, along with so many other

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 10>Americans joy unfortunately, you know, because seriously.

0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean execution.

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 10>Maybe not joy, but certainly not no, certainly not empathy.

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>A reaction not of.

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.880
<v Speaker 7>Universal horror that a fifty year old father of two

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.640
<v Speaker 7>and husband was shot dead in public, but rather of.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 10>And I don't want to call it glee, but let's

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 10>just say not unhappiness.

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 7>Some of the comments were thoughts and deductibles to the family.

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 7>One of the comments was, unfortunately, my condolences are out

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 7>of network, and so I think it really.

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that something.

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 7>I really think it's reflective about how people are feeling

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:52.120
<v Speaker 7>about their healthcare.

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, you are twisted. If you throughout the word joy,

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you're a sick human being. Yeah.

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 5>That was Taylor Lorrain on Piers Morgan, and she is

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 5>absolutely a sick human being. She is a twisted she's

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 5>you know what, she is very much of cut from

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:09.359
<v Speaker 5>the same cloth as the killer.

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't see her killing anybody, But.

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 5>She is the over educated progressive who is so one

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 5>hundred percent convinced of her own rightness that she believes

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.880
<v Speaker 5>people can be hurt, silence, jailed, whatever if they dare

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:25.360
<v Speaker 5>disagree with her. Her her COVID record is unforgivable, especially

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 5>because that big five hundred page report just came out

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 5>and said that virtually everything they did with sher saying

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 5>was wrong at the time was wrong, including the shutdowns

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 5>and the stupid masks and the schools being closed, unforgivable.

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Even without getting into the complications of health insurance and

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 1>the government's role and what would you replace it with

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and all that sort of stuff. How could you possibly

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 1>think that a society where you're okay with gunning people

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:58.919
<v Speaker 1>down that you disagree with would never work right? It

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 1>would fall apart immediately. Hey, guess what, Taylor Lorenz, There's

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 1>people who think you're bad, so.

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.360
<v Speaker 3>They'd gunn you down, You moron.

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how do you not understand that?

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 2>You could.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 5>You could absolutely make a coherent argument that Taylor Lorenz

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 5>was a prominent force in keeping kids out of schools,

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of those kids are either miserable, fallen behind,

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 5>have psychological problems, or committed suicide. So you know, I

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.719
<v Speaker 5>would never make that argument because it's abhorrent, but it

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 5>could be made that she is so evil dot dot

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 5>dot if you live.

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>In that society. Uh, you know, let's go ahead.

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 5>She was on Piers Morgan and he was trying to

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 5>like get coherent answers out of her, and.

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>She's occurred to me a lot of that crowd probably uh,

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>vehemently anti capital punishment.

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 5>Also, oh yeah, yeah, good point, good point, but pro abortion,

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 5>So give us forty you're gonna you've heard part of

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 5>this already.

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 10>I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 10>think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans,

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 10>joy Unfortunately, you know, because it.

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, I mean execution.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 4>Should they will be killed, these healthcare executives. Would that

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 4>make you even more joyful?

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I know that would not want And.

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 10>Good question, I think, because yours, because it doesn't wouldn't

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 10>fix the whole thing there is.

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I find your question, let's be murdered in the street.

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't find it funny. I don't. That's a very

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>good question from Meerce Margan, who I generally find annoying.

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.640
<v Speaker 1>But that's a very good question. So if more were killed,

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.639
<v Speaker 1>would that make you more joyful? Well? No, of course not.

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Well why not.

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Come on, lay out your logic for me here? Why

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 5>no one was shot, not killed, but just blinded. Now

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 5>how joyful would that make? It?

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Kind of medium joyful? And you know, just because I

0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 1>thought of the capital punishment thing, i'd like to joy

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>read with that order. How do you feel about I guarantee

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>she's against capital punch of men. So people have been

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>convicted of a heinous murder, gone through all the appeals

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and all that sort of stuff. Put to death, wrong,

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>random killing on the street because you don't agree with

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the policy. Correct. Okay, Now you explain to me how

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense in your worldview.

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:16.880
<v Speaker 5>And these people are our moral betters, by the way,

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 5>they're constantly explaining to us what's right and what's wrong.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 5>One more clip of the utterly soulless, gutless, brainless Taylor

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Lorenz and Peers Morgan.

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 10>Now, I want to.

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Fix the system.

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 10>You're right, we shouldn't be going around shooting each other

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.679
<v Speaker 10>with vigilante justice. No, I think that it is a

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 10>good thing that this murder has led to America. Really,

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 10>the media elites and politicians in this country paying attention

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 10>to this issue. For the first time, you mentioned you

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 10>couldn't understand why somebody would feel this reaction when they

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:53.199
<v Speaker 10>watched a CEO die. It's because you have not dealt it.

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 10>Sounds like with the American healthcare system in the way

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 10>that millions of other Americans have.

0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 4>I've doubled the healthcare system in various ways in America.

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's perfect by any means. But the

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 4>idea that I would view it as something the idea

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 4>that I would view it as something joyful that a

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 4>man has been he's just a healthcare executive has been

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 4>executed in the street, I find completely bizarre.

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 10>Okay, so I don't say I'm joyful.

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, I said you would.

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 4>You said you were feeling joyful.

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I take that back. Joyful is the wrong word here,

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 10>I said as I.

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you think is the wrong wood.

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, indicated celebratory, because again, it feels like justice in

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 10>this system when somebody responsible for the deaths of tens

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 10>of thousands of Americans suffers the same fate as those

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 10>tens of thousands of Americans he.

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Murdered that I never brought this up the other day.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I should find it on my phone, So that

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>tens of thousands of Americans, there's a number going around

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight thousand. It comes from a wacky study by

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>wacky people that exaggerates all kinds of things, includes all

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 1>kinds of things that don't fit in as often is

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the case wise damn lies and statistics. So that's where

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:08.440
<v Speaker 1>that argument comes from. Not that that would make any

0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.200
<v Speaker 1>sense anyway, right.

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 5>And then juxtaposing the healthcare CEO murder with the other

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 5>big high profile guy who died story, and that would

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 5>be the Penny Subway vigilante defending the innocent guy ends

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 5>up dead. I'm not going to call it a murder

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:32.359
<v Speaker 5>like Al Sharpton and his folks are, but place forty two,

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 5>This is on CNN.

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 7>Penny and the verdict there there you also have a

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 7>victim who somebody determined did not deserve.

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 1>To continue living. No, no, no, yeah, tell me tell

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 1>me which tell me which vigilante action is? Okay? Is

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 1>one is being proactive?

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 10>Right?

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>So this kid who executed someone executed a guy walking

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 1>away from him, shot him in the back, shot him

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in the for no reason whatsoever. Daniel Penny, he's a.

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 5>Heron panelists, and I wish i'd bother to get her name.

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Was trying to suggest that, Hey, they're both vigilantic killings,

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 5>and you're saying one's right and one's wrong. Where do

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 5>you get off precisely where I get off? And how

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 5>I say that?

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Yeah, yeah, I tell you what.

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.160
<v Speaker 5>Every time CNN does some pretty good reporting, like Clarissa

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Ward's been terrific, for instance, they turn around and do

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 5>something like that, and I think they should just be unplugged.

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, I yeah, just yank the court on CNN.

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 5>They're losing money anyway, nobody watches it. They suck anyway. Uh,

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 5>Jake Tapper would make a fine assistant manager of pet

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 5>food stores. Wow, yeah, Joe Getty's hot and fire no

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 5>even bombs, truth bombs right and left. We need to

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 5>develop And I wonder if the kids have this already

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 5>new vernacular for like that freaking moron Taylor Lorenz, who

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 5>I've just just despised for years in a very inside

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 5>media way. Most people have never heard of her, and good,

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 5>your life is better for it. But do the kids

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:13.679
<v Speaker 5>already have an expression for you know, somebody says I

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 5>think that guy ought to be shot? Do you really

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 5>mean that? No, I Internet mean it. I just mean

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:22.440
<v Speaker 5>it on internet level.

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:27.440
<v Speaker 1>That guy should realize that guy should low key be shot, right. Yeah, Yeah,

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the similar. Yeah. I don't know, but as

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you heard, they're drilled down a little bit. Those people

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>seem to mean it. I don't know how many people

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>online mean it, but those those panelists meant it. Yeah,

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>whether it was the joy or where do you draw

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the line between vigilante justice? What are you talking about?

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 10>Ho?

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Stupid?

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:48.720
<v Speaker 9>Are you?

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>These are apples and refrigerators as a come you know,

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 1>as a comparison.

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, And I think it probably all boils down

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 5>to what's making so many of people miserable, including the kids,

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 5>and that is that, in a very very very short

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 5>span of time, we as human beings have gone from

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 5>every single interaction is in person with a flesh and

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 5>blood human being, with the rare exception of maybe you

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 5>got a letter from somebody, to now ninety percent of

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 5>your interactions are not in person with an air breathing

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:24.959
<v Speaker 5>Homo sapien. They're online, they're electronic, and therefore the killing

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 5>of one of those human beings doesn't mean anything to you.

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 5>They're an abstraction. They're not a human being. They're a

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 5>video of a human being. Before we go to break,

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm not going to explain this. You either understand it

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 5>or you don't. Did you hear that former Patriots coach

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Bill Belichick might take the job coaching at North Carolina.

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>The joke is it's will help his girlfriend with admissions.

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>She's youthful. Youthful, let us sin fifty year age gap

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>in that relationship. He started dating cheerleader. He's in his

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>mid seventies, she's in her mid twenties. He's a very

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>young seventy five. Armstrong and Yetty. Quick question for you,

<v Speaker 3>he YETI.

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 11>My son was playing the drums at the high school

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 11>basketball game the first time I've watched him do it

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 11>at the basketball game, and I hadn't been in it

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 11>banned situation drum line, so it's just all drums, but nice.

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 11>First time I've been inside a small high school gym

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 11>a game, with all that goes on with that in many,

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 11>many decades.

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't changed a bit. Really. It was a lot

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>more people staring at their phones than the last time I.

0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Nobody was staring at some piece of equipment in their

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>handback when the last time I was in a gym.

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, it was all the same. And

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I wish this weren't true. I know this makes me

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a crazy person, but I get just as uncomfortable. I

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>was just as uncomfortable last night being in that gym

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>as I was when I was in high school myself

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and all the dynamics of high school and everything that

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 1>goes on with that and everything, and how much I

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>hated it, and how how it just freaked me out.

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel exactly the same way now, And it's just

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's some sort of PTSD, right. It's got to

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>because obviously I don't need to know if the cool

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>group thinks I'm got the right shoes on or anything.

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 5>Now right, your shoes are by the way, we're all

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 5>just commenting on what nice shoes you have.

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. The stupid moronic dynamics of high school are, you know,

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it's it's absolutely anthropological.

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 5>It's at the point that you're really becoming in charge

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 5>of keeping your DNA alive. You take in data about

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 5>what's a danger, what's good, what's bad, and it burns

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 5>permanent pathways in your head so you don't have to

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 5>be reminded of it again.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Just to survive.

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 5>It's like, yeah, I wouldn't call being in the same

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 5>room with your your first love PTSDA good, But does

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 5>that bring on a flood of emotion?

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a good loan, That's that's a pretty good. That's

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. It's per charitable and pretty good. And it's

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>so easy. I feel like the spot as I'm sitting

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 1>there in the gym, I can say, Okay, there's the

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>cool group they just walked in, look at the like

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the the water's part as they walked through, and everybody

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>starre hated them a little, didn't you.

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 10>I don't know.

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I don't think I hated them. I don't

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>think I ever hated them. I was scared of them,

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't hate them. Then there's there's the group

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that wants to be them but not quite is. And

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>there's the outliers. They're kind of standing alone over there,

0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and they wish they could be part of any group.

0:32:58.320 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 3>And you can.

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 5>You can just see all the dynam of high school

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 5>just right there. You're freaking everyone out. This is making

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 5>me really uncomfortable, which proves your point.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Now's your chance, Jack.

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 5>You see that cool group, you can tell them off,

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 5>like you listen, you think you're so cool.

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 6>See, I don't.

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I never, I don't. I didn't have that feeling. Then

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't have that feeling. Now tell them off for what?

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>How dare you be attractive and have good personalities and

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>good at something? How screw you?

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I didn't feel that way them. I don't

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 6>feel that way. That's healthy, that's right. You gotta tear

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 6>him down. Life is a zero some game. Their happiness

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 6>is your unhappiness. Look at your DEI training. If they

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 6>have something, it's because.

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 1>They stole it. There's no such thing as merits. There's

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount of happiness to go around there. There

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>there is a particular guy and girl that walked in

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 1>high school guy and girl and he was a he

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>looked like a like something from a TV show, and

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>she was stunning. And it was just like the attention

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they got when they came over to the bleachers and

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of just sat wherever they wanted. Everybody moved out

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of the way. It's just something to see. What is

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it with human beings? I don't know. Do bears do

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:09.959
<v Speaker 1>the same thing.

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean, they're sitting there eating their berries or overturning

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 5>trash cans or something. Then a really hot looking bear

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:17.800
<v Speaker 5>and her big bear mate come along.

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, look at them. Yeah, he could be

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>a movie star. You and they looked so comfortable and

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in charge of the world, like things could never be better.

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And then all the other people you could see the

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>angst on their face. So not all of them, but

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 1>certain groups of people. Is just like you know, looking

0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>around and trying to how should I walk, how should

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I sit? How should I whatever? You know that goes

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>on when you're that age. Just oh my god. I

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't go through that again for any amount of money.

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 5>Like observing a band of chimps in the forest lest

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 5>poo chucking, Thank goodness, and I.

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't And one other thing before we got to get

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to Katie's headlines, I don't know. My brother was telling

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 1>me about how like his daughter is a super stud

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of high school girls basketball player, and he said, girls

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>basketball is so much better now than it was like

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>when we were younger. It's a different thing, but so

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.839
<v Speaker 1>is the boys. I thought, this boy's high school team,

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if my high school team could score

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a basket on these guys. Has everything just gotten that

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>much better because of youth sports or emphasis on sports

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>or something? But yeah, more professionalized. Everything's more professional.

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Games are not to be played for fun, there to

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:23.760
<v Speaker 5>be excelled at to game of scholarship.

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's it. But it was a completely different level

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 1>than the last time I was in a high school gym,

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:28.840
<v Speaker 1>which was a very very long time. It was in

0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>black and white.
