Speaker 1: Michael, You're still saying it wrong. It's bogada bogada bogadah.
Speaker 2: Did you teach Bush how to say nuclear bogue ada,
Speaker 2: not bowd googa bogada?
Speaker 1: So she flipped both the D and the G and
Speaker 1: the emphasis and everything.
Speaker 2: We need to We need to get Joel a panic button.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2: He's got a bogada out there, he does.
Speaker 1: We We have an account exact that has h on
Speaker 1: the opposite side of his little cubicle. He set up
Speaker 1: a little.
Speaker 2: Bodega in the empty desk, but we have empty desks
Speaker 2: around here behind him that he actually has space to
Speaker 2: put a bogada.
Speaker 1: Weird. You and I could put a super Walmart right
Speaker 1: out here. Joe's got a little Joe's got a little
Speaker 1: bodega in the empty cubicle behind him. You and I
Speaker 1: could bill an f and Super Walmart out here in
Speaker 1: this empty space.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
Speaker 1: By the way, what time is it you? Did you
Speaker 1: check the clock?
Speaker 2: What time is it? Eight fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Fifty Yeah, that's what time it was. When I checked it.
Speaker 2: Too, twenty minutes ago, it was still eight to fifty. Huh.
Speaker 1: My My son and daughter in Ella have o'clock in
Speaker 1: there in there like dining area, and it's battery operated,
Speaker 1: and they're always forgetting to change the battery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got one over the kitchen table, but it's
Speaker 2: really I need I need to get the ladder out
Speaker 2: to get it done.
Speaker 1: But so you never you never change the battery, do you.
Speaker 1: So the clock just stay, it just stays.
Speaker 2: It's still got the daylight saving time or standard times. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not in Well, there will die it's an hour and.
Speaker 1: It will go there for dinner. It'll be the same time.
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, it stays the same throughout dinner,
Speaker 1: and then I'll realize, oh, this was the same time
Speaker 1: it was when the last time I was here.
Speaker 2: It never changes, It's just a decorative piece at this point.
Speaker 1: No, I finally, I think I finally bugged him about
Speaker 1: it so much they finally put a battery in it,
Speaker 1: and then I noticed that it was working. And then
Speaker 1: the last time I was over there, which just like
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a week ago, I don't think
Speaker 1: it was working again. So maybe I should just buy
Speaker 1: a pack of batteries and just tape them to it
Speaker 1: or something. Someday.
Speaker 2: At least there's easy to get to Yes, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: very easy, said mine. I have to get the step
Speaker 2: ladder out in order to get to it because it's
Speaker 2: it's pretty high up on the wall. But you know,
Speaker 2: I've got an excuse. Your kids don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have an excuse. They just don't care.
Speaker 1: They just don't care. You know, I talk about stupid
Speaker 1: people a lot.
Speaker 2: And why are you looking at me?
Speaker 1: Well, like I said, I talk about I talk about
Speaker 1: and two stupid people a lot.
Speaker 2: But while you're looking at the window.
Speaker 1: Everywhere, okay, I should you know. I was walking down
Speaker 1: the hallway this morning when I.
Speaker 2: Said those days, it's one of those days.
Speaker 1: It is one of those days. So I won't say
Speaker 1: which one of our newspeople, but one of our newspeople
Speaker 1: was coming back, I assume from the restroom or something.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was kind of dark because it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's like five o'clock in the morning or something.
Speaker 2: And smart it doesn't like to turn on any lights
Speaker 2: around here, right.
Speaker 1: And and I just made some joke about you're kind
Speaker 1: of slinking or loitering around, and I know he heard me,
Speaker 1: but he just turned his head and looked down like,
Speaker 1: oh oh, I got caught like, like I really caught
Speaker 1: him loitering. That was just being a wise ass, And
Speaker 1: I thought, man, are we that we that touchy around
Speaker 1: here that we're afraid that somebody's going to accuse it?
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I loiter for four hours every morning,
Speaker 1: very much. So yeah. So, oh, but I do talk
Speaker 1: about stupid people a lot that whole last hour. You
Speaker 1: think about how stupid that is in terms of, oh,
Speaker 1: we're going to close down food trucks because they attract crowds. Well,
Speaker 1: if the problem is they attract crowds that want you to
Speaker 1: shut down the bars and the restaurants in downtown Denver,
Speaker 1: because obviously the cops and the mayor and the governor
Speaker 1: believe that there's a causal link between crowds and crime.
Speaker 1: So you get rid of if that's a causal link,
Speaker 1: then you get rid of the crowds by getting rid
Speaker 1: of the cause of the crowds. Oh, there's a story
Speaker 1: that it's a Brittish story from nineteen oh six Plymouth, England.
Speaker 1: A polymath which is just a brilliant person. Sir Francis
Speaker 1: Galton was at a country fair in Plymouth, England, and
Speaker 1: a bull had been tethered for slaughter. Eight hundred locals
Speaker 1: were invited. I think it was a bull. It may
Speaker 1: have been, you know, a big elk or something, but
Speaker 1: the town local has been invited to guess the dressed weight.
Speaker 1: Let's just say it was a bull. To eight hundred
Speaker 1: locals invited to guess the dressed weight, how heavy was
Speaker 1: it going to be after they butchered it? So, Sir
Speaker 1: Galton was an obsessive measure of people, weather intelligence, and
Speaker 1: he liked to gather all the entries. He liked to
Speaker 1: gather all the info. He was always doing calculations that
Speaker 1: I would say are about intelligence or conversely stupidity.
Speaker 3: Well, he.
Speaker 1: Gathered all of the calculations of all of the eight
Speaker 1: hundred citizens of this little local town that had gathered together.
Speaker 1: Ill like guessing the number of you know, jellybeans or
Speaker 1: something in a jar, Well, guess the weight. He calculated
Speaker 1: the average and found something amazing. Crowd's collective estimate came
Speaker 1: within a single pound of the actual weight. Now that's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, but it became one of the founding truisms
Speaker 1: of modern democratic thought. Galton has shown that while individuals
Speaker 1: may make mistakes, the group written large the group in
Speaker 1: the aggregate can reason with uncanny accuracy impressions. He had
Speaker 1: discovered the wisdom of crowds, and that's where we get
Speaker 1: that phrase, the wisdom of crowds. Twenty years later, after
Speaker 1: that occurred, back in nineteen oh six, much of the
Speaker 1: Western world had granted the vote to all adults univals.
Speaker 1: We then had universal suffrage. But that quaint rural fair
Speaker 1: was more than a century ago. We're in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: We're almost a twenty twenty six today. What are the
Speaker 1: masses doing, whether they're not getting a way to lifetock,
Speaker 1: everybody's hunched over their smartphones, everybody's rage posting about vaccines.
Speaker 1: Everybody's chasing TikTok or Facebook video dopamine hits. I find
Speaker 1: it fascinating when I see every once in a while
Speaker 1: iub doing doing show prep, will find like videos about
Speaker 1: new math adding fractions or understanding graphs X and y axes,
Speaker 1: and they're really struggling to do so. They are, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, we are, in my opinion, getting more stupid.
Speaker 1: And that's a problem for any sort of representation, representative democracy,
Speaker 1: a constitutional republic, because the dumber people get well, that's
Speaker 1: the kind of government we're going to get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the movie Idiocracy was supposed to be satire, not
Speaker 2: a guide book.
Speaker 1: Right, not exactly, that's exactly right, Dragon. So first, the
Speaker 1: data on cognitive decline is unambiguous. IQ scores across the
Speaker 1: developed world have been falling for decades. Their studies out
Speaker 1: of Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and yes,
Speaker 1: even here. According to a twenty twenty three study in
Speaker 1: the journal Intelligence US, IQ's declined significantly. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but the greatest decline was between
Speaker 1: the years two thousand and six and twenty eighteen are
Speaker 1: a mere what ten seven years ago, and the losses
Speaker 1: were most acute in people under the age of twenty. Now,
Speaker 1: this is frightening to me, dwelling IQs. There is actually
Speaker 1: a name for it. I you know, this is what
Speaker 1: I love about AI and doing show prep. There's actually
Speaker 1: a name for this. It's called the reverse Flynn effect.
Speaker 1: A psychometrician by the name of James Flynn in New
Speaker 1: Zealand came up with it. He's the first one that
Speaker 1: detected that IQ's had been rising throughout the twentieth century,
Speaker 1: and then observed that the trend had suddenly spiraled downward,
Speaker 1: it had gone negative. Of course, if this was merely
Speaker 1: an issue with IQ we it would just be an
Speaker 1: interesting statistical study. Maybe IQ tests are too crude of
Speaker 1: a mismeasure of man, of the mismeasure of our actual intelligence.
Speaker 1: But the problem goes deeper. John burn Burn Murdoch, who's
Speaker 1: a data editor to the Financial Times the Ft the
Speaker 1: Pink Paper, compiled international test scores in reading, math and science,
Speaker 1: and he found that they peaked around twenty twelve and
Speaker 1: they've been falling ever since. And he believes that the
Speaker 1: fall He hasn't been able to prove it yet, but
Speaker 1: he thinks that the decline is accelerating. In other words,
Speaker 1: we're getting doune or faster, particularly in reading, math and
Speaker 1: science in high income countries. Fully, of twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of adults can't use basic mathematical reasoning. They're unable to
Speaker 1: verify a statement like if a jacket originally costs two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and is now on sale for twenty five
Speaker 1: percent off, the new price is one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars in this country, and I'm not very trust me.
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at math. I've got to really
Speaker 1: stop and think about, like, if you present me with
Speaker 1: a with a Now that one's easy, two hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: you're taking a fourth of it off. Okay, yeah, how
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars divided by four is what fifty?
Speaker 2: You didn't even need to take off your shoes to
Speaker 2: do that math problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That's an easy one for me. But
Speaker 1: they calculate that the section of American society that is
Speaker 1: mathematically incapable, not just slow and stupid like me, but
Speaker 1: absolutely incapable, is fully a third of the country. And
Speaker 1: then you know this is true because once again I
Speaker 1: would say that even Dragon and I are have a
Speaker 1: problem with this. Attention spans have absolutely collapsed.
Speaker 2: What did you say, I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1: See, you're honor. I rest my case.
Speaker 2: I heard my name. That's all I got.
Speaker 1: That's all he got. Because and I'm one of these
Speaker 1: guys that also maintains that you really can't truly multitask.
Speaker 1: That you might be able to do different things at
Speaker 1: the same time, but your brain is in nanoseconds jumping
Speaker 1: back and forth between those different tasks. That your brain
Speaker 1: is not at the same time, focusing on all of
Speaker 1: those things at the same time. But you know, I
Speaker 1: might be wrong about that. That's the three that I've got.
Speaker 1: There's a study conducted by the University of Michigan that
Speaker 1: since the nineteen it's called Monitoring the Future attract eighteen
Speaker 1: year old's self reported ability, self reported ability to think,
Speaker 1: concentrate to learn, and their responses. They've been doing this
Speaker 1: since the nineteen eighties. The responses were stable for decades
Speaker 1: until twenty fourteen, when the numbers reporting cognitive difficulty began
Speaker 1: to accelerate. Now, at the same time, less than fifty
Speaker 1: percent of Americans say they read books. In the United Kingdom,
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of adults are what they refer to
Speaker 1: as lapsed readers. They used to read, but now they've stopped.
Speaker 1: As of twenty twenty three, thirty six more than a
Speaker 1: third of Spaniards reported that they never are almost never
Speaker 1: read books. So if you scroll back, that means that
Speaker 1: across Western civilization we are passively scrolling instead of actively pondering,
Speaker 1: We're reacting instead of reasoning. We're slowing down, and we're
Speaker 1: becoming more and more distracted. So what does all they
Speaker 1: had to do with politics. If if a democratic republic
Speaker 1: depends on the wisdom of the crowd, the sir Gallic idea,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Sir Galton idea, that the electorate is
Speaker 1: on average capable of advanced rational thought. What happens if
Speaker 1: that assumption goes away? What happens when asked the audience
Speaker 1: is stupid? Now, you think in theory we'd be okay,
Speaker 1: because democracy is and I think to a certain degree
Speaker 1: still is self correcting. And I think we just saw that.
Speaker 1: I think that in the most recent leg in the
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty four election, I think we saw that
Speaker 1: the Democrats pushed so dramatically Progressives pushed so far toward Marxism, socialism, communism,
Speaker 1: all the isms that we had a visceral reaction to that,
Speaker 1: and the crowd, if you will, said no, we're not
Speaker 1: going to do that. You know. Now, granted it was
Speaker 1: a small majority, but thankfully at least it was a majority.
Speaker 1: So the crowd still did react and we did self correct. Now,
Speaker 1: my fear is that because we doomsday scroll all the time,
Speaker 1: or we doomsday listen to the sound bites all day long,
Speaker 1: that the in fact, there's a story where they talk
Speaker 1: about how Trump is doing nothing. But I think again
Speaker 1: on one of my sound bites for this morning, where
Speaker 1: all they talk about is Trump's just creating chaos. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're doom scrolling or you're just listening to the
Speaker 1: cabal and all they're doing is feeding you, which is
Speaker 1: essentially the same thing as doom scrolling, then you're going
Speaker 1: to believe that. Oh yeah, indeed, we're just in a
Speaker 1: period where it really is just chaos here. It is
Speaker 1: Michigan Secretary of State, Listen to.
Speaker 4: This, Larry Ben said, tell me about Michigan right now.
Speaker 4: You know the beginning of the Trump administration of this state.
Speaker 4: You know that has gone both ways the last couple
Speaker 4: of elections, but always closely what are what are voting
Speaker 4: voters thinking about it? I say, watch the beginning of
Speaker 4: this administration unfault.
Speaker 5: Oh in the last one hundred days has been nothing
Speaker 5: but chaos and confusion for all of our residents.
Speaker 1: Whether now, if that is all you hear, If if
Speaker 1: you've been sucked up into the cabal and the only
Speaker 1: thing that you hear is this happens to be MSNBC
Speaker 1: and that's all you hear, then pretty soon that becomes
Speaker 1: like a self fulfilling promisee or it certainly is confirmation
Speaker 1: biased because you didn't like Trump to begin with, which
Speaker 1: is why you're over at MSNBC and you're being you're
Speaker 1: being told, yes, you're believe your gut feeling that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of chaos or confusion around here. I'm here,
Speaker 1: as the Michigan Secretary of State to affirm your perception.
Speaker 5: They voted for the president or not, because the reckless
Speaker 5: tariffs and the other economic policies we've seen come out
Speaker 5: of Washington have only increased the cost of living in
Speaker 5: our state. When a lot of these voters who supported
Speaker 5: the president, we're expecting him to drive down the cost
Speaker 5: of living. But whether it's affordable housing or being able
Speaker 5: to simply just buy eggs and pay for childcare and
Speaker 5: not have.
Speaker 2: To seize between the two, all of that is.
Speaker 5: Front of mine for people right now. And it's really
Speaker 5: confirming because.
Speaker 1: The point is cable television is no different than doom
Speaker 1: scrolling through X or Facebook.
Speaker 6: Michael, it seems like blaming food trucks violence. It's the
Speaker 6: same kind of logic that blames comes for violence. It
Speaker 6: misses the reality all together that it's people that are
Speaker 6: treating wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to argue that somehow the food trucks attract
Speaker 1: crowds and that therefore leads to the crime. Then if
Speaker 1: you wanted to apply their logic, then you would eliminate
Speaker 1: the source of the crowds, which would include the bars
Speaker 1: in the restaurants. But they don't want to do that
Speaker 1: because why the bars in the restaurants are members of
Speaker 1: you know, chambers of commerce. They've got you know, they've
Speaker 1: got the uh, they got the elites behind them. Who
Speaker 1: wants to shut down you know, the favorite speakeasy and
Speaker 1: speakeasy and lodo who wants to do that? Well, the
Speaker 1: Mayor's not going to do that. But we can go
Speaker 1: after someone who's, you know, working to make a halfway
Speaker 1: decent living running a food truck. Well, they don't have
Speaker 1: any political muscle. They're just food truck owners. They're the
Speaker 1: little people. So of course Denver goes after them. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just find it despicable. And don't forget nobody, nobody.
Speaker 1: I don't care whether you look at four seven nine
Speaker 1: or thirty one or even PBS and Denver, nobody draws
Speaker 1: any sort of correlation between oh, sixteenth Street mall sucks
Speaker 1: and we've got shootings going on right in the same area.
Speaker 1: Whether it's Market Street or Sixteenth Street or Blake or Larimer,
Speaker 1: it's the same area, which is why I don't like
Speaker 1: to go down there anymore. Nuts. You know, the story
Speaker 1: I'm talking about is how we are all becoming dumber
Speaker 1: and dumber. But I haven't become that dumb yet. So
Speaker 1: back to the idea that these IQs are dropping off,
Speaker 1: that nobody's ready anymore, that we're all doom scrolling through Facebook,
Speaker 1: or we're just you know who, staring at the at
Speaker 1: the boob tube all day and just feeding what, you know,
Speaker 1: just swallowing whatever it is that the cabala is feeding you. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do think that democracy and the republic is generally
Speaker 1: self correcting, and I think that's what we just went through.
Speaker 1: But the problem is, think about what we're just talking
Speaker 1: about with regards to Denver, because we are led by
Speaker 1: people who themselves are often pretty vacuous, vacant, stupid themselves,
Speaker 1: and when they're not, they pretend to be so they
Speaker 1: you know, they do stupid things, like you know, Polus
Speaker 1: is always posting things about you know, he's all into gaming,
Speaker 1: and he's all into say don't. I'm not saying there's
Speaker 1: anything wrong with gaming. I'm just saying that he tries
Speaker 1: to present himself as being something other than the elitist
Speaker 1: he is. Now. I don't know what police's reading habits are.
Speaker 1: I do know he's on excell lot because I you know,
Speaker 1: and whether he's doing it where he's got a staff
Speaker 1: for doing it, I don't know. Some of them seem
Speaker 1: to be fairly personal, so I think, and he has
Speaker 1: both a personal and an official account, but they don't
Speaker 1: want to look, you know, elitists or smug on Facebook
Speaker 1: or Instagram or ex or anything else. But that begs
Speaker 1: the question why is or why why are our IQs declining?
Speaker 1: I couldn't find a single explanation. There's lots of different reasons.
Speaker 1: What they're given migration between countries that have varying average IQs.
Speaker 1: In other words, people who come from craphole third world
Speaker 1: countries that invade another country bring with them their lack
Speaker 1: of education, their kind of backass word culture, and they
Speaker 1: bring it into a first world country. So if you
Speaker 1: imagine a first world country just like the United States,
Speaker 1: and it's a glass and we are three fourths of
Speaker 1: the way full because of declining birth rates and everything else.
Speaker 1: And then you take another glass of water that is
Speaker 1: from all mixtures of third world countries where they're uneducated,
Speaker 1: where they don't have the same values and principles that
Speaker 1: we do, and you pour it into the water the
Speaker 1: glass that contains the United States. It dilutes us, and
Speaker 1: we become less intelligent. It degrades the culture. Now some people,
Speaker 1: I've read some stories where they are well, there aren't
Speaker 1: enough smart people having enough babies, so called dysgenic drift.
Speaker 1: Dysgenic drift. I'd never heard that phrase before. But then
Speaker 1: if they're smart, why aren't they having babies? And then
Speaker 1: other scientists, which is part of the Make America Healthy
Speaker 1: Again movement, looks to nutrition, industrial toxins, that exposure, maybe
Speaker 1: a change in educational styles. But none of these things
Speaker 1: cover all the bases. In other words, we can find
Speaker 1: individual reasons and then collectively throw them all together into
Speaker 1: a big stepot. Then we might realize that it's all
Speaker 1: of this stuff that is causing an actual decline in intelligence.
Speaker 1: By the way, somebody asks where the source of this
Speaker 1: monologue is and the origin of it is The March thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Financial Times, the Pink Paper, which count
Speaker 1: me digging into all of this, but I don't it's
Speaker 1: I don't think they have free version.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is paywalld. But I have found a companion
Speaker 2: article in Yahoo, so I was able to look that up.
Speaker 2: Michael says, go here at the time. It's got a
Speaker 2: lot of similar information.
Speaker 1: Can you see me because I haven't seen them? Can
Speaker 1: you send me that link? Can you have a chance
Speaker 1: to thank you? So for some people there is one
Speaker 1: obvious culprit. Let's go to the Michigan Cognition Data because
Speaker 1: they're the ones that've been doing the longest study. Twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: That is the year, coincidentally that Instagram exploded, and the
Speaker 1: saying goes for a lot of those decline, they coincide
Speaker 1: with the advent of the iPhone and then all of
Speaker 1: the apps that we all now put on our iPhone.
Speaker 1: So it's it's not hard to jump to a conclusion
Speaker 1: that the invention of social media, along with the advent
Speaker 1: of the so called which is kind of funny, the
Speaker 1: smart phone has done something bad to attention spans while
Speaker 1: eroding the need to attain and retain knowledge. I think
Speaker 1: about this. I don't know my daughter's cell phone number.
Speaker 1: If if I, if I were laying, you know, dying somewhere,
Speaker 1: I barely know tam or cell phone number. I don't.
Speaker 1: I have to only know it because I pay, I
Speaker 1: pay our cell phone bills every month. I don't know
Speaker 1: dragon cell phone number. I don't. I honestly don't know
Speaker 1: my mom's cell phone number because on my iPhone, I've
Speaker 1: got Mom Home, Mom Mobile. So neither one of my children.
Speaker 1: I don't know those phones. But I could tell I
Speaker 1: can still tell you my grandparents' home phone number, because
Speaker 1: I had to know that I didn't have something over
Speaker 1: here that I could just look up grandparents and hit
Speaker 1: dial and it would just dial it four oh five, three,
Speaker 1: three eight, blah blah blah blah. I know exactly what
Speaker 1: the number was. They've been dead thirty years, forty years.
Speaker 1: I know what their numbers. I know what their phone
Speaker 1: number is. And then you think about mental arithmetic, how
Speaker 1: many times you know? Sometimes I do this just to
Speaker 1: exercise the brain. So there might be a complicated, not complicated,
Speaker 1: but a not a simple multiplication problem like nine times six.
Speaker 1: But if I got a multiplication problem that is one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven times twenty two. I will rather
Speaker 1: than go to my phone just to exercise the brain,
Speaker 1: I will go work it out or division, I'll go
Speaker 1: work it out otherwise, or if I'm in a hurry, no,
Speaker 1: I'll just quote do it on the phone. The point is,
Speaker 1: why bother with mental arithmetic? Why bother with mental math?
Speaker 1: Because we've all got pocket calculators right there on our phones,
Speaker 1: and that process is widening. I sat down with a
Speaker 1: young man who is working on a revamp of one
Speaker 1: of my web pages, and he showed me what AI
Speaker 1: was able to do with a website. I felt like
Speaker 1: an absolute idiot looking at how amazing that he could use.
Speaker 1: And then I was amazed too at the number of
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence applications there are. I mean, I thought, I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll concede my ignorance. I thought there were maybe
Speaker 1: a dozen artificial intelligence applications. There are hundreds of them,
Speaker 1: and they all do very specific things. So you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we can find solace in these machines. But I
Speaker 1: kind of doubt it. I just think that people, and
Speaker 1: I think, you know, whether you know, I do mock
Speaker 1: public education, and I know that, but God bless them
Speaker 1: for trying. God bless anybody whose parents are really trying
Speaker 1: to get their kids to learn to critically think for themselves,
Speaker 1: because without that, I'm not sure that democratic republican forms
Speaker 1: of government can survive because it takes an informed citizenry
Speaker 1: for it to do it. And for the first time,
Speaker 1: while doing show prep running across that article, I find, oh,
Speaker 1: perhaps it won't survive.
Speaker 3: Michael, I'm not so sure that at least the Democrats
Speaker 3: are having trouble with maths. They seem to be doing
Speaker 3: pretty good. I mean the equation if you let over
Speaker 3: ten million illegal immigrants into the country, how many congressional
Speaker 3: seats will you earn.
Speaker 1: Oh, they're very good at that kind of math, very
Speaker 1: very good at polymath, at political math. Unfortunately, they're very
Speaker 1: good at that. In North Korea, only thought criminals are
Speaker 1: century education camps, right, and we have lots of evidence
Speaker 1: of that. In contrast, we have special camps for indoctrination
Speaker 1: in this country that are open to any kids that
Speaker 1: have liberal parents that can afford it. And the more
Speaker 1: unnatural the brainwashing because these parents are also stupid because
Speaker 1: they've bought into the wokism that is infecting the country.
Speaker 1: I mean, the other thing that that if you're dead
Speaker 1: scrolling through Instagram or Facebook or x and you're not
Speaker 1: really thinking about what you're reading or just blindly going
Speaker 1: through it, then and you already are a liberal, so
Speaker 1: you are a trend follower, well then you are going
Speaker 1: to be susceptible to unnatural brainwashing. That's why something called
Speaker 1: the Unicorn Daycamp in Pasadena explicitly targets transgender and gender
Speaker 1: and getting get it out transgender and gender non binary
Speaker 1: kids ages six to nine. Huh yes, And if you
Speaker 1: send your kids to one of these places, the children
Speaker 1: will participate in affirming activities, so that the camp is
Speaker 1: actually egging them on to pursue the gender journey that
Speaker 1: they think they're on or that their parents want them
Speaker 1: to be on. It isn't cheap, but then again, how
Speaker 1: can parents obviously put a price on having their own
Speaker 1: transsexual trophy child, just like the Hollywood deteradi do the
Speaker 1: U The Unicorn Day Camp, that's actually the name of it.
Speaker 1: It's at gendercamps dot com. You go find yourself gender
Speaker 1: camps dot com. Unicorn Day Camp is a summer summer
Speaker 1: program for transgender, non binary and gender expansive kids ages
Speaker 1: six to nine. It is four exciting days of arts, crafts, games,
Speaker 1: singing in lots of unicorn magic. Isn't kind of ironic
Speaker 1: that they use a unicorn as their example, and of
Speaker 1: course they indicate that you won't want to miss this
Speaker 1: unique experience alongside kids on similar gender journeys. When I
Speaker 1: talk about the culture being degraded, it's not just being
Speaker 1: degraded from third world countries. It's being degraded from within
Speaker 1: because we're being chastised. I've had this conversation with a
Speaker 1: couple of friends. In fact, hey, he's now deceased, but
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine who has a transgender daughter,
Speaker 1: and I've asked specifically, well, when do you think that
Speaker 1: your son who became a daughter thought that he was that?
Speaker 1: And he said, well, we don't really know, but we
Speaker 1: think it may have been as early as his you know,
Speaker 1: under the age of twelve, before he became a teenager.
Speaker 1: What were the indications, Well, not really shared, just behavior
Speaker 1: and you know some of the things he liked to
Speaker 1: do or play with. I said, so did you you know?
Speaker 1: My question was did you encourage it? No, we just
Speaker 1: let it play out. And then when he reached the
Speaker 1: age of eighteen and was old enough to make the
Speaker 1: decision on his own. We let him make those decisions
Speaker 1: on his own, and indeed, the Sun didn't end up transitioning.
Speaker 1: But that's no longer acceptable Now. The least little indication,
Speaker 1: or I shouldn't say indication, the least little thing that
Speaker 1: a parent sees as a sign, becomes somehow a factor
Speaker 1: that says, now you have to pursue it. And sure enough,
Speaker 1: there are things like gendercamps dot com that help you
Speaker 1: go pursue it. Wow, talk about stupidity.
