1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 3: An etiquette expert, is saying that the proper way to 5 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 3: eat cereal is with a spoon in one hand and 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 3: a fork in the other. The fork is to attack 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 3: anyone that comes from me, lucky charms. 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 4: What that's a funny odd joke, wold funny ha ha 9 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 4: and funny strange. 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: I like the punchline, but I don't understand the setup. 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: So why would you eat your cereal with a knife? 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 5: And of what? I can't imagine? 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: I got a trio Iranian stories. One Terran just announced 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: that they have plenty of more surprises to come. I 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: don't think you do. I really for a war. I 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: don't think you do. I think you a bnymore surprises 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: to come. 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 5: Don't away, We'll be right back. 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: We decided to wait until everyone's dead and we're really 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: destroyed and we have no air defense before we unleash 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: our secret surprise, because that makes perfect sense that you 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: would do that. Another one Trump has said, are you 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: following the story with the Iranian national women's soccer team, 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: you know that story. So they apparently signaled in a picture, 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: please help us or something. I didn't quite understand, some 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: sort of hand signal in the picture rescue US. And 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 2: Trump has said he has spoken to the Australian Prime 28 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 2: Minister about giving the Iranian national women's soccer team asylum. 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: I guess they're in the country and like, don't ship 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: them back to Iran. 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. I just saw that headline. 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: Hadn't been following it because they had spoken out against 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: the regime, which is a scary thing to do. I mean, 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: for real, they can't go back. No, no, absolutely, absolutely not. 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: And then the other Iranian story, Fox is reporting that 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: British Prime Minister Carr Starmer is facing weak and uncooperative 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: labels from both sides of the pond as the US 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: UK alliance is in tatters. One of the closest relationships 39 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: on planet Earth since the end of World War Two 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: that has helped keep the world order is in tatters 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: over this. He's gonna go soon. He's got he's barely 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: got a double digit approval rating in his own country 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: over things that hadn't you know started before this ward 44 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: and started then he's uncooperative. 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 4: That week act Mark Carney? Is it Mark up in Canada? 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: Not thinking of the Germans? That's yeah, anyway, Carney, he 47 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: supported the strikes and now he's condemning them since he's 48 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 4: so bad. 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching uh, I was listening to NPR 50 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: today and they were talking about the global order and 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: everything like that, and they were right in that it 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: is less set now than it has been in a 53 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: very very long time, all that sort of thing. But 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: I feel like every time the United States flexed its 55 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: muscles to try to restore global order or police the world, 56 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: that crowd would attack it, you know, for belligerance and 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: heegendomy or whatever the hell? And where do you get 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: off telling other countries how to live? But if you 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: don't do that, then the world order falls apart. It's 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: also our fault. It's our fault no matter what. That's 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: one of the problems with being the big dog. No 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: matter what happens, it's your fault. 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: I just came across the story of another progressive prosecutor 64 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: who refuses to prosecute gun crimes or gun enhancements. Aren't 65 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: the progressives the left constantly calling for more stricter gun laws, 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: and yet they won't enforce. 67 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: It as similar anyway. 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: So this is what was meant to be, just to 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: tease to what we're talking about later is taking a 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: chunk of the segment. 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 5: But I think we still have time for this. 72 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: It's funny that I should come across is because I 73 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: had a really interesting conversation about it with some business 74 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: people yesterday. It's a piece by a psychologist or a 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 4: professor of psychology who specializes in workplace psychology, productive psychology, 76 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: that sort of thing, and she writes, well, the headline 77 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 4: is I should tell you a new loss generation why 78 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 4: gen Z is unprepared for the workplace. Young employees don't 79 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: often don't make the skills they need to navigate organizations. 80 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 4: Leaders should first understand the problem and then figure out 81 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: how to fill the gaps. 82 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Too much, and when they're not watching poor in they're 83 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: playing video games. 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: This is not helping. 85 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: This is just trying to understand it from the perspective 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: of an employer, because you got to preserve productivity, efficiency, 87 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: that sort of thing, and you got all these weird 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: kids coming in, you got to figure out how to 89 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: get them to work. 90 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 5: Anyway. 91 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 4: I love this angle she starts with because I hadn't 92 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: I had underestimated. One aspect of human psychology says the 93 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: workplace can be a tricky place to navigate. Almost everything 94 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 4: we do at work, identifying the experts, managing tough feedback 95 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 4: from a boss, figuring out how to work in teams 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 4: made up of different personalities comes down to our ability 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: to manage relationships, and to do so, we need savvy 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: social skills. Most employees acquire those skills over time by 99 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: learning from their non work relationships, watching how colleagues behave 100 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: in the office, and by seeing what happens when they 101 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: stumble in their own workplace interactions. 102 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 5: You live and learn. 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: But the newest workplace generation gen Z is unlike anything 104 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: we've seen through a combination of having fewer real world 105 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: relationship experiences, spending their education years in remote environments, and 106 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 4: learning to communicate largely through asynchronous methods like you know, 107 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: texting or messaging or whatever. You're not a message, apply message, 108 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 4: apply message reply in real time. 109 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that you would your emotional intelligence 110 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: would improve through texting? Probably not. 111 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 4: These twenty somethings have missed opportunities to develop the skills 112 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 4: needed to navigate the complex world of work. The result 113 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: is that many are woefully unprepared for surviving, let her 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: alone thriving in their jobs. And then she spells out 115 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: And because we've got a fairly tight team here, I 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 4: hadn't fully realized this, but it makes so much sense. 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: We can already see what this means for both employees 118 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: and the organizations that hire them. For one thing, young 119 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 4: employees are struggling to fit into these organizations. There's a 120 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: lot of turnover because new hires who don't acclimate don't last. 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 4: What's more, whether they're pushed out or leave willingly, younger 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: employees often go without a go without a clear sense 123 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: of what went wrong. 124 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: Oh wow, so they'll never get better. 125 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 4: So they couldn't interpret the dynamics of the workplace, so 126 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: they sure as hell can't interpret why it didn't work. 127 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: And those who do stay often find the experience unfulfilling 128 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 4: and frustrating, while their bosses are at loss wondering why 129 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: the new workers just don't get it. 130 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if something is just not working out, so 131 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: you get rid of somebody because it's you know, just 132 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: not working out. It's hard to nail down, you know, 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: explain to a person exactly why it didn't work out. Look, 134 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: you just you weird people out, nobody understands you, or 135 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: it's just not working out, whatever, and so it'd be 136 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: hard to grow from. 137 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 5: That, right right. 138 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: Indeed, So this gal gets into a couple of factors 139 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 4: and I think she may overestimate them a little bit, 140 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 4: and she completely leaves out the big one. But a 141 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: couple of things. First of all, the percentage of gen 142 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: Z that reaches adulthood having had even one romantic relationship, 143 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: it's declined from seventy five percent pretty consistently for previous 144 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 4: generations to fifty six percent. So rounding it's it's a 145 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 4: twenty percent drop. And she points out and this made 146 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: me think back to my previous relationships. These experiences matter 147 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. Early relationships teach us basic 148 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: social competencies, how to express emotions, how to cooperate, how 149 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: to forgive, how and when to compete, all skills we 150 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: use at work and as adults. There's a direct link 151 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: between the ability to communicate well with the romantic partner 152 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: and the ability to do the same with a coworker 153 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: or boss, which is interesting. 154 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: Then she goes into online people. 155 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: That's the point on weird online education experiences and how 156 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: different that is from previous generations. I think we can 157 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: all understand that. You know, the one thing she leaves 158 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 4: out that I'm very very surprised by. And I had 159 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 4: a long, interesting conversation, as I mentioned with some business 160 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 4: leaders about this yesterday, the incredibly rich learning experience that 161 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 4: is free range childhood. And we were talking about specifically 162 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 4: when we'd be turned loose in the morning after we did, 163 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 4: you know, our chores or whatever we had to do, 164 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: especially on Youla wends and summer days or whatever, and 165 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 4: we would not go home until the dinner bell rang, 166 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: or until the street lights went on, or whatever it was. 167 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 4: Your queue you had to go home again, and your 168 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 4: parents might ask you a little bit where you were. 169 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: But I mean, you certainly didn't have to give an 170 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 4: hour by our accounting, no, And we were agreeing that 171 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 4: one of the richest experiences we had had in our 172 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: entire lives was playing specifically, and this is what has 173 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: been lost in the modern era. This is not the 174 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: first time we've talked about it, but I think it is. 175 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 4: It is so massively important. Everybody ought to be familiar 176 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: with this concept. You invent a game with one or 177 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: more friends. Maybe it's a bunch of you, maybe it's 178 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 4: you have variations of the rules of baseball, for instance, 179 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: because you've got a few people and you're playing in 180 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: a square backyard or whatever. You invent a game, You 181 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 4: invent the rules, You adjudicate all the disputes yourselves. You 182 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 4: learn about people who will work with you, those who 183 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: won't with you work with you. You learn about what 184 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: strategy works for convincing people you have a good idea 185 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 4: and which ones fail. If you had fifteen college educations, 186 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: you could not learn as much as you learned on 187 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: your summer days doing that. And we're denying kids the 188 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: opportunity to do that. It is neglect or well, like 189 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: I said, yes, neglect. It's like you're not feeding them 190 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 4: almost as terribly as if you did not feed them 191 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 4: food in my opinion, and kids are missing that when 192 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 4: they get to the workplace. 193 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: I think food is worse. But I see your point. 194 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, obviously, if somebody starves to death, 195 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: really about play that card for about three days, right, right, 196 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 4: But when you look at the modern workplace, Okay, we've 197 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: got to accomplish something together. He and I. I disagree, 198 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 4: but I value them. I've got to do it in 199 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 4: a diplomatic way. I don't feel real strongly about this, 200 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: but I do feel very strongly about that. And by 201 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: the way, I've negotiated that process one hundred and fifty 202 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 4: times by. 203 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 5: The time I'm sixteen, compared to the constantly supervised veal 204 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 5: Calf kids. 205 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: Well, here's the good news. Finally AI is going to 206 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: wipe out all the jobs, so nobody will ever have 207 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: to do that. 208 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 4: Oh, that reminds me. Got a great email and I 209 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 4: was hoping to get to it at some point. Don't 210 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: have time for it now, but maybe next segment. 211 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 5: I don't know. We'll talk about it from Ryan and Sacramento. 212 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: AI is going to take all the jobs I wish. 213 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 5: Why don't I pay this off after the break? 214 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I love that topic. 215 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, work, I mean you talk about a 216 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 4: universal Yeah, until the warm embrace of collectivism takes over. 217 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: Oh, we got to talk about mom, Donnie and what 218 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 2: you said about his wife and then attack outside of 219 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: residence over the weekend. Was he's an Islamianist? Was it 220 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: isis inspired this attack? That's what they're saying now, Wow, 221 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: that'd be a pretty big deal. AnyWho stick around. 222 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: What do you do if you're a progressive women's organization 223 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 4: in New York City on National Women's Day or International 224 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 4: Women's Day and you want to celebrate it by letting 225 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: out all your outrage at Trump in the modern world? 226 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 5: Do you do this? 227 00:12:53,480 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: Why are the birth rates calling? I think, I know, God, 228 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 4: that's more than enough. 229 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 2: Are people that do therapeutic screams or that sort of thing, 230 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: and then there are people that like, have jobs and 231 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: raise kids. 232 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 5: Right, there's very little overlap. 233 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: I'm very little overlap. 234 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 4: It's worth mentioning her dog is there and just freaking 235 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 4: out idiots. Got this note from Ryan in Sacramento. We 236 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: were talking about AI as we do a lot, and 237 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 4: how it's going to eliminate all the jobs, as jab 238 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 4: Jack mentioned, and we have gone on and on about 239 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 4: how if you deny people purpose and you know, a 240 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: reason to get up in the morning, they will actually 241 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: be miserable and become drunks and drug addicts and not 242 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 4: become happy poets or whatever. 243 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 5: Who's going to read your poetry? 244 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: Everybody's writing poetry anyway, Let's see, So Ryan writes, Joe 245 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 4: has joked that he's afraid he'll be the last human 246 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: to die right before humanity unlocks the key to immortality. 247 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 5: That's true, right, I. 248 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: Haven't said that for a long time, but yeah, that's 249 00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: my greatest fear. 250 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 5: Thanks for reminding me. 251 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 4: My fear is that I will be the last human 252 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: or generation of humans obligating to work for a living. 253 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 4: You both have expressed the need for purpose we all 254 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 4: seem to share, and I agree on that point. Why 255 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: must that purpose be tied to a meaningless job. I 256 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: work in a blue collar environment of about fifteen hundred employees, 257 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: and there's something we all want to be anywhere else. 258 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: I don't know about their motivations, but for myself, the 259 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 4: obligation to show up and punch the clock for eight, 260 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: ten or twelve hours a day is what prevents my 261 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 4: pursuit of unprofitable fulfillments, you know, hobbies for psychopaths that 262 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 4: would be like to show up somewhere and do meaningless labor. Oh, 263 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: for psychopaths that would like to show up somewhere and 264 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: do meaningless labor for hours and days on end. I 265 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 4: wouldn't stand in their way to the suggestion of do 266 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 4: something else. There's not a job on this earth that 267 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: I want to be obligated to devote the majority of 268 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: my time in life too. I'd be shocked if that 269 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 4: was a minority opinion. Big However, for all the boasting 270 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 4: that day, I will provide the pathway to universal high income, 271 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 4: I don't really believe in it. Private businesses may become 272 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: enriched by the use of AI and Jack You've made 273 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 4: this times, but they aren't going to become absurdly altruistic. 274 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: The idea of government's confiscating and distributing wealth is both 275 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: repugnant and historically catastrophic. 276 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 5: I guess I'll keep clocking in. 277 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they always skip that part, but a. 278 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 5: RTS keep returning those sausages. Thank you, Ryan. 279 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: To the whole we need a job to have a 280 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: sense of purpose thing that we talk about. I have 281 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: heard that described as you know you have job fulfillment privilege. Yes, 282 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people, and I've worked jobs like this. 283 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: I've worked jobs that you lay there on a Sunday 284 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: night and think, I don't know if I can do 285 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: this another week because it is not only not fulfilling, 286 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: it's just awful. There's nothing you like about it. The 287 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: only thing you're getting out of it is a paycheck 288 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: and maybe insurance. The only thing everything I was about, 289 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: you hate it. So the idea that, oh no, AI's 290 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: going to take that away from me and I won't 291 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: have a purpose anymore. Yeah, shut up? 292 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 5: All right? 293 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 4: When I was standing there in an aisle of a store, 294 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 4: because if I was caught sitting, I'd be fired waiting 295 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: for a customer, any customer to need anything. 296 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was not super fulfilling. 297 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: And the idea of that going away going to have 298 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: a negative effect on your life. Shut up? 299 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: Oh no, right, Yeah, that's a good point, Ryan, Thank 300 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: you for you know, I try really hard to think 301 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: about stuff like that as we're doing the show and 302 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 4: getting ready for the show. 303 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 5: All right, in what. 304 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 4: Ways am I an outlier and not not have those 305 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 4: blind spots? But that's a you know what, that was 306 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: a bit of spanking, Ryan, and well administered. 307 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: So CBS at least is reporting they are investigating that 308 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: incident outside of Mayor Mumdanni's house as an ISIS aspired 309 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: inspired attack. 310 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, yeah, I've seen that more. 311 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: It would be a pretty big deal if there was 312 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: an anti Muslim demonstration completely peaceful and Isis said we 313 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: ain't having that and sent somebody, holy crap. 314 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: Mom, Donne's and Islamist as well as a communist. He's 315 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 4: and Islammunist, and I'm sure I have a good idea 316 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: whereas sympathies lie, particularly by some of his statements. 317 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: Got a lot more on that and other stuff on 318 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: the way. If you missed a segment, get the podcast 319 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 2: arm Strong and Getty. 320 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: On demand Armstrong and Getty. The NYPD says this device, 321 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: about the size of a football, wrapped in black tape 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: with nuts, bolts, and screws along with the fuse, was 323 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: indeed an improvised explosive device world at New York City 324 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: Mayor Zorra Mandani's residence. The incident unfolding outside Gracie Mansion 325 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: Saturday during dueling protests, including one led by far right 326 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: anti immigration figure Jake Lang and a larger group of 327 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: counter protesters, and one of those suspects, Police say, an 328 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: eighteen year old lit and threw one of those devices 329 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: toward a police barrier. Two suspects, both from Pennsylvania, arrested 330 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: at the scene. They told investigators they watched ISIS videos 331 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: and confronted Jake Lang's protests in defensive Muslims. 332 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: I feel like that report and a lot of them, 333 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: really did not do a good job of making it 334 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: clear who was violent and who was not. A lot 335 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: of the reports over the weekend were anti Muslim protests, 336 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: sparks violence. Yeah, sparked violence by the people that showed 337 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: up on the side of the Muslim extremists and throw 338 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: a bomb, not the anti Muslim crowd, which you know, 339 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: I don't agree. I wouldn't go to an anti Muslim 340 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: protest probably either, but far right anti Muslim protest. Then 341 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: Abamba was not making it clear in that report who 342 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: exactly threw the bomb. It was the isis inspired crowd 343 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 2: that showed up and said you aren't going to protest 344 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 2: Islam in my town and had a bomb. 345 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 4: Well, right, the New York Post editorial board, actually I 346 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 4: know nothing about this Jake Lang, guy whose tiny band 347 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 4: of misfits were quote unquote demonstrating against Muslims. 348 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: Well, he's a January sixth guy who got pardoned by Trump. 349 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, Well, anyway, the harshness with which 350 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 4: the New York Post editorial board views him, I will 351 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 4: take their word for it. But even that being said, 352 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 4: the irony of guy comes out and says, you know, 353 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 4: Islam is a religion of violence and oppression, and somebody 354 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 4: throws firebombs at him for it. 355 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 5: There's a little iron. 356 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: Well, as he was being arrested, he was yelling to 357 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 2: media around it, and the cops notice who got violent? 358 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: It wasn't us who got violent. It wasn't us, which 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: I thought was a pretty decent point, right right to 360 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: yelling at achbar, likely inspired by ISIS isis. 361 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, no kidding. 362 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: So New York Post writes, Oh, they're actually what they're 363 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 4: concerned about is Zora and Mumdani came out and condemned 364 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 4: violence at a protest, and the Post says, Madanni can't 365 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 4: just condemn violence at a protest. Now that the key 366 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 4: facts are out about Saturday's chaos near Gracie Mansion, the 367 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 4: Mayor's residence, he needs to call out where the threats 368 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 4: of violence come from and denounce them. 369 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 5: Well, I'll just finish. 370 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 4: We know that those were genuine explosive devices hurled by 371 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 4: Isis loving radicals, people seduced by evil that exists within 372 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: Gotham's own Muslim community, and the mayor should name the 373 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 4: poison plaguing his co religionists, and the madness among his 374 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 4: democratic socialist allies that mourns the killing of a monster 375 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: like Ali Kameini. We can get into that in a 376 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 4: little bit if we want. But yeah, if for instance, 377 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 4: it had gone the other way, that there was some 378 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 4: up with islam gathering encounter demonstrators showed up and hurled 379 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: bombs at the Muslims. Do you think their ideology would 380 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 4: be left out by mister Mumdani when he was condemning it. 381 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? 382 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: That is an oversight, oversight, That is an omission so 383 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 4: egregious it ought to make everybody stop and say, oh, 384 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: I see what's going on here? Can you imagine in 385 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 4: leaving out the ideology of clan members if they are 386 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 4: the ones chuck in bombs that's what Mumdani did. 387 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 5: Yikes, yeh. Then they make the point. 388 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 4: What can truly make a difference is calling out the 389 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 4: people who seem to be on your side but aren't. 390 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 4: The ones who claim that Islamic values support attacks on innocence, 391 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 4: who deny the mass rapes and other crimes of supposed 392 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: freedom fighters, who pretend that the anti imperialist cause requires 393 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 4: sympathy for terror promoting tyrants. And then they say, Mumdanni 394 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: ought to come out in favor of anti Semitism, protect 395 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 4: the rights of worship of all New Yorkers, side with 396 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 4: the vast Saints Center in New York City, mister mayor, 397 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 4: and make it plain you recognize toxic eight on every extreme. 398 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: So one of the teen bomb chuckers put on the 399 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: ground by the cops and hauled off, gave a hand 400 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: gesture that some say is a isis hand gesture. I 401 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 2: don't only had one finger up in the air. That 402 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: can be all kinds of different things, because I mean 403 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: just a lot of times the other side of this 404 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: when they've said, you know, white supremacists and gesture, it's 405 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: just like. 406 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 4: What there are gang signs a thing. But sometimes a 407 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 4: wave is not a Nazi salute. 408 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: Hits a wave right, or sometimes just any flourish of 409 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: the hands, not a particular you catch it at the 410 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: right moment from the right angle, two fingers up and 411 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: one down is clearly in league with the Confederacy or 412 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 2: something damn Rabs. But so maybe maybe it was an 413 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 2: isis hand sign, but not a surprising story. I've got 414 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: my favorite pole lever. That's come out that we should 415 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: get to. 416 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: Let me finish this off just by pointing out the 417 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: Democratic Socialists of America have indeed come out against the 418 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: killing of the Ayatola and how it's an outrage. This 419 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 4: is going to end with a mass movement that puts 420 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 4: an end to the war machine. 421 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 5: Blah blah blah. 422 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 4: We have to create real cost for the warmongers for 423 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 4: killing Islamic extremists. And maybe we'll get into this a 424 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 4: little more tomorrow. But I was reminded of this. I 425 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: came across this. This is how it works, the you know, 426 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 4: the eternal omnik cause where if you're a you know, bisexual, transgender, amputee, Hispanic, 427 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 4: you've got to be in favor of militant eskimo whatever. 428 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: Everybody's got to be on the same side, always to 429 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: overthrow Western civilization. 430 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: Right. 431 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 4: Well, this is this is somebody who's involved in a 432 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 4: different story. The person who formed helped form the Armed 433 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 4: Queers of Salt Lake City. 434 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 2: What was the. 435 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 5: Headline involved here? 436 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, take too long to reset, but anyway, 437 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: Armed Queers Salt Lake City joins people all over the 438 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 4: world and expressing how solidarity with Palestinian people as they 439 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 4: struggle for liberation against the many decades of occupation violence, partip. 440 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 5: Blah blah blah. 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 4: We must be in full support of the right of 442 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 4: resistance and be critical of any argument insisting the Palestinian 443 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: struggle is equally as violent as issue. Okay, here's where 444 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 4: it gets into the interesting part. We must also be 445 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: critical of any pinkwashing tactics that co opt the struggles 446 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 4: of gender oppressed people in order to further advance anti 447 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 4: Palestinian efforts and recognize that the colonial history and present 448 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 4: against Palestine has been responsible for some of the most 449 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 4: barbaric forms of violence against women and queer people. There's 450 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 4: only one side to support, the side seeking freedom from 451 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 4: colonial force, and we will not be made to believe 452 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 4: that our side is the enemy. 453 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 5: I will decode that for you. 454 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 4: People are pointing out that the Palestinians and the Mullahs 455 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 4: and all those people hang gay people in public, they 456 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 4: throw them off buildings, they will rape a woman to 457 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 4: death for being a lesbian, blah blah blah. Don't listen 458 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: to those arguments. There's only one side, the anti colonial side. 459 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 4: They're trying to co opt the suffering blah blah and 460 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 4: turn us against each other. Don't let them do that. 461 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 4: And the loyal Marxists say, oh, that's a clever tactic 462 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 4: by the colonial forces. I'm not falling for that. They 463 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 4: throw gaze off building stuff, and that's how they reconcile 464 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 4: queers for Palestine. I'd never seen it spelled out like that. 465 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: So we've got quite a poll where they've got the 466 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: net favorability ratings of some unpopular things. The Democrats finish below, 467 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: Ice below, Trump below everybody on the list, but Iran. 468 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 2: It's an NBC poll, so it's not like it's you know, 469 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, right wingy, right winger. It's NBC. We'll 470 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 2: get to that next segment. This is breaking football news. Though. 471 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey is going to sign a one year contract 472 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: with the Kansas City Chiefs. He'll be back for his 473 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 2: fourteenth year. So the news earlier today was he's coming 474 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: back for another year. Might not be the Chiefs clearly 475 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: his agent put that out there as they are in 476 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 2: the final throes of their deal. Maybe he won't play 477 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: for the Kansas City Chiefs. We have lots of options 478 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: out there, and the Chiefs thought he makes us at 479 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: least that much more money being on the team. So sure, 480 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 2: the mustachioed Taylor Swift fiance, I'll bet, I'll bet he's 481 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: worth a lot. I'm sure they've got it. Kind of 482 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: a number on that, but you know, eight home games 483 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 2: or nine or ten depending on preseason or postseason, and 484 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: a good chunk of them Taylor Swift's there and all 485 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 2: the attention that that gets you and everything like that. 486 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of money in that. 487 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 5: Well, they get a half time. 488 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 4: Will he get married at halftime?

The trans children who. 501 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 3: Showed up yesterday at the state Capitol to advocate. 502 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: For their humanity. They shouldn't have to, but it was 503 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: an inspiration to watch. There you go. So that's that weird. 504 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: A minister Democratic dude down in Texas, James tallerco know 505 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 2: them by name, ask name something you love, or their 506 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: family and friends. The trans children that showed up to 507 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 2: my event, all right. 508 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 4: Oh my god, kids that have been browbeaten and convinced 509 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 4: that they're trans. 510 00:27:59,720 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 5: Oh. 511 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 2: This might be part of why the Democratic Party has 512 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: a lower net favorability rating than Republicans, Trump, Ice, or 513 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: really anything but around currently. And this is an NBC poll, 514 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: so they do the overall net rating. That's where you 515 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: take your positive rating minus your negative rating and come 516 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: up with the number. For instance, on Trump, he's got 517 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: a minus twelve. He's fifty three negative, forty one positive 518 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 2: for a minus twelve. Not great the rebel Republican parties 519 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: minus fourteen. Ice, which has been beaten up by the 520 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: media just endlessly, is pretty low with a minus eighteen, 521 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: but not as bad as the Democratic Party. Democrats had 522 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: thirty percent positive or somewhat positive, fifty two percent negative 523 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: or somewhat negative for a minus twenty two. More. The 524 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: Democratic Party is more unpopular than Ice nationally. Isn't that amazing? 525 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: I mean, that's really quite amazing. You wouldn't think that'd 526 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: be possible. By the way, only Iran has a lower 527 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: rating than that. Iran is at UH minus fifty three 528 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: something like that. 529 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 4: It's it's gonna be tough to bounce back from. Yeah, yeah, 530 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 4: they got some work to do. Eight percent positive sixty 531 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 4: one percent negative. They do have some work to do 532 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 4: pr wise, to try to get back into the plus column. 533 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 5: Make that a priority. 534 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: Why do you think the Democratic Party is rated so 535 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: low in a country that they're off evenly split? 536 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 4: Uh, there are a lot of reasons to dislike them, 537 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 4: the ideological. 538 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: Why our elections are so close, You would think it 539 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: would be Republicans and Democrats would be closer together. 540 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: But yeah, I think, well, there's definitely the hold your 541 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 4: nose and vote for dot dot dot factor for both parties. 542 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 2: Sure. 543 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 4: I think for Democrats it's it's much more significant than 544 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 4: for Republicans, because for Republicans it's hold your nose and 545 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 4: vote maybe for Trump though you don't like. 546 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 5: His manner and we've all gone over this a million times. 547 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 4: With the Democratic Party, it's like hold your nose and 548 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 4: vote in spite of the fact that they're advocating policies 549 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 4: you find loathsome. But you don't like Republicans either. 550 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: It's hard to hold your nose and vote for a 551 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: crowd that pretends that operations for trans children makes sense, 552 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: or or health for taxpayer, health care for illegals makes sense. 553 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it come on. 554 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: Ooh, looking at a little clip that they're doing a 555 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: feature on Lindsay Vaughn in her effort to be able 556 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: to walk again at some point. 557 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 5: Or lord, oh lord, that. 558 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: Was a miscalculation. 559 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and it seemed like a terrible idea too, 560 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 4: skiing on the busted ACL. 561 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: She looks like watching her work out, she might have 562 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: that Michael Phelps problem, the famous swimmer. They just have 563 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: been working out ten hours a day their whole life. 564 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: They don't really know how to not do that. Yeah, 565 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: what do you do every day if you're not in 566 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: the gym working out ten hours a day? 567 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, A lot of professional athletes, especially the super elite ones, 568 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 4: it's incredibly dislocating. It's amazing when they stopped doing what 569 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,479 Speaker 4: they do. 570 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: Got a couple of examples that just happened to randomly 571 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: come across recently. They asked Derek Cheater, famous New York Yankee, 572 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 2: they had something at the end of the season, said 573 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: you miss baseball? He said, no, not really, not at all. 574 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: This is over us, ready to be done. You know 575 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: some people are like that. It's like, yeah, I did 576 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: it for a while and that was fun, but I'm 577 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: ready to do something else now. Yeah, some people just 578 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: can't imagine their lives without it. Huh. It depends on 579 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 2: I are built, I guess. 580 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm lucky I don't have that problem. 581 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, huh. 582 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: So everybody in the world is going to be watching 583 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 2: the stock market, in particularly the oil market over the 584 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 2: next twenty four hours or so. And Trump, and with 585 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: the help of Lindsay Graham, warning Israel, hey, don't be 586 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: blown up their refineries. That's not going to help get 587 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: the people on our side. And Trump is sending Jared 588 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: Kushner and Witkoff to meet with bb Net and Yahoo tomorrow. 589 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: I assume with that message louder than anything else, don't 590 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 2: be attacking their water facilities or the oil facilities when 591 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: don't be driving the regular person, the regular arraigning away 592 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: from us. So we'll see where that goes. 593 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 4: I thought that message from Lindsay Graham that you read 594 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: earlier was really on point. 595 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 5: It was really well crafted. 596 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 4: It's like, hey, that's going to be necessary to bring 597 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 4: peace and prosperity to the new or on when it happens, 598 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 4: So let's not go overboard and the whole. 599 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 5: You know, they need oil to power their missiles. 600 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you what, why don't we crush all 601 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 4: their missiles and launchers and the guys who launch them 602 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 4: and leave the oil alone for now? 603 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 5: So it's good to get on the same page. 604 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: BB might not be on that page. He might think, 605 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: this is my one chance in my life. And I'm 606 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: an old man and I've been fighting these people since 607 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: I was a kid. I Am going to take them 608 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: all out this region, total ruin. With some concern that 609 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: Trump at any day could decide, you know, this is 610 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 2: gas prices. I'm looking at the polls. People aren't digging this. 611 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: We're done. Biebe might be thinking that he could pull 612 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 2: the plug at any moment. I'm gonna take this chance 613 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: while I've got it. I might have days left of this. 614 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 4: He saw what happened to the opposition in Venezuela when 615 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 4: Trump ended the fight said yeah, I've made a deal 616 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 4: with the old dictators. 617 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 5: We're good now, and. 618 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 4: The oppositions like, uh, wait a minute, wait a minute, 619 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 4: right now, they're on the sideline. 620 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Israel won't really be in a position to 621 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: continue this war if we decide we're done politically, be 622 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: a different kettle of fish for him.

But anyway, 676 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 4: here's Jesse June. I'm sorry the dearly departed. That's probably 677 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 4: a more delicate time. I'm the funeral and you say, 678 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 4: where's the corpse. I want to go check out the corpse. 679 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 4: No I don't. 680 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 5: And I take your criticism in a manly fashion. Thank you. 681 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 2: I'm armstrong and getty.
