Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, Michael, this has been a busy news day, lost
to think about, lost, absorbed. You're starting to make my
brain think an awful lot. It's lunchtime here at the factory.
How about something lighter. Is Kamala done something stupid again lately?
Or what kind of news headlines as Dragon got for us?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, I just did the billion dollars thirty years, we've
gone from four some billion to over six billion. We
don't have anything to show for it. You're still paying
for it for light rail. And then dumbass producer back
there whispers in my ear and I think he's joking
(00:38):
and says what and then he does some calculations and
then he goes on, let me just see if I
have a reality check here. So you want to replay
our conversation from earlier.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, it's it thirty years and two billion dollars over
budget and still still nothing. Well it will be thirty
years by the time it's complete.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And two bill that's the estimate today.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Correct, Yeah, okay, yeah, And then I was just curious.
It's like, huh, how long did it take us to
get to the moon. They're like, huh, first man in
space was what's his name Gagarion, and that was in
nineteen sixty one. The first man in space and the
first person on the moon Armstrong in nineteen sixty nine.
(01:19):
So eight years we get a man from just being
in space to on the moon, and in thirty years
we may have a you know, fast tracks from Denver
to Boulder. Just just want to make sure I got
the comparisons, right.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's a that's a fairly good comparison. All right, yeah, okay,
all right, And remember they and they still want to
do a fast high speed rail from Fort Collins down
to Colorado Springs. And every little pissant mayor from Fort
Collins to Colorado Spring huh, well, want to stop along
(01:55):
the Eye twenty five corridor somewhere, you know, firest Own
and Loveland and Fort Collins and Longmont and then those
little towns you know, like whatever it is at fifty two.
Then you get down toward where those malls are, like
one hundred and forty fourth and twenty five, they'll want
(02:17):
to stop. And then you want to stop at one
hundred and twentieth, and then you want to stop at
eighty fourth Avenue, and then you want to stop somewhere.
Oh I don't know, fifty second and then to stop
at you know, thirty thirty eighth or whatever it is,
and then to stop at Spear and then yeah, high
speed twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, i'd say twenty five twenty five miles an hour
or right now, if you want to go from here
to Boulder to Longmont and just get in your car
and you can probably do that in forty five minutes
on a good day, on a good day, which is
not very often. But yeah, I don't know why you
have to be so negative about everything. You should be
(02:56):
positive like me. Well, I've reached that point today, because
you're right. The problem is all right, you went.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm not gonna do this joint Janus from Pat Retirement Pro.
What is it? Cheese? Janish?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Cheese Danish?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
There are some bagels?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Now, oh there's bagels. Well, where's my bagel?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Got one? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Are you going to talk while I go get a bagel? No,
the alarm will go off, you'll get a phone call.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So Pat's quitting on us.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Huh. Oh, it's about time he's finally wised up.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know what? You know what the tipping point was
for Pat Happing to go down to the third floor
to use the bathroom that was it.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The toilets now work.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I am pleased to announced that the men's restroom on
the third floor has two working toilets and two urinals.
Now a lot of the stuff what would you call it?
The fixtures are still kind of half assed hanging on,
but you can flush.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And I'm not sure who brought in that soap. There's
an apricut so in that awful.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's awful. Marty was down there at the same time
I was, and he squeezed him and oh my go
I didn't kind of just shoved me out of the
way and said, give me that, give me that whatever
the other.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Su I got tired because the other one's like alo
something aloe and sea salt, and I'm looking, that's not
very good. So it's like, let me try the the
other one today. And it's an orange and I'm like, hey,
that's gotta be pretty. And I get to it and
it's like, no, that's so you could just.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Do what I do. I just wipe my hands on
my jeans, just what you know, just wipe my jeans
and and then don't worry about the handle to open
the door. I'm sure it's sterile.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's gotta be c the first floor doesn't have the
trash can. Third floor has the trash can, so we're good.
Oh does the first floor have a trash can now? Oh,
it still does. Went and saw it yesterday when you
were talking about it. It was like, that's glorious. There were
like five six different clumps.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I haven't checked today. I bet there's a pile. I
bet it gets to be at least a foot high
before somebody goes wonder why people are doing that because
we use paper towels to open the door because they're
so damn filthy.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's nice because there are people here in the building
who I know who Well, he doesn't care. Ross Kaminski.
He does not wash his hands.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No matter what his job was in the restroom.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't know for certain about that, but I know
that he is. He is plainly admitted to number ones.
He does not wash his hands.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I confess that, depending on what's available, I may skip it.
Now here. We usually have everything available, right, soap, paper, towels,
everything else. But if it's a blow dryer, no, I
won't do that.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I'm not gonna stand there for ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I'm not gonna stand there for ten minutes. And oftentimes I
like to wash my face at the same time that
I do it, you know, at least kind of white
my face a little.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
We all saw the MythBusters episode. The blow dryers that
dry your hands are actually worse.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yes for you, Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know, germs getting spread around than just a simple
paper towel.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yes, So that's the first thing I do when I
walk into the public restroom. What's available, right, because then
I have to decide because if nothing's available, then, you know,
because of my endowment, let's say, I have to be
extraordinarily careful and strategic, uh, you know, to you know,
(06:48):
to do my to do my job.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Do you want an old I can give you an
old joke from Joke of the day from downstairs. It's
pretty funny. I think I can get it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
As long as I know you've done it before. Oh yeah,
and as long as you're the one doing it. I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's perfectly okay. Yeah you want to go for it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well why not? Sure, we're gonna blow this whole sec
because of a damn talk back. We're gonna up blowing
the whole segment anyway, Well, I want that's right. I
wanted to talk about christin Noman Portland, but no, we
got to talk about wieners and washing.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Our hands and and and a joke from very old
joke that. Let me see if I set this up joke, So.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Here you go.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You're welcome to anybody who possibly remembers that from downstairs?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
What was that about?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It was the jokes already? Okay, there was a segment
called the Joke Today.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah that was. And would that was you doing the announcing?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, okay?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And then would Rick and Kathy take turns doing the jokes?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
No, Rick would always tell the joke.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Rick would tell the joke. Well, of course, because he's
obviously a misogynist. Would never let ketch because Kathy Lee
is a joke?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is that right, you?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Kathy Lee with both our houses.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
So couple goes to a fancy restaurant for their anniversary dinner,
and they're busy having their meal, and the waiter comes
by and takes their order, and lady says, I would
like the soup. So waiter comes by, delivers off the soup,
she starts eating and then accidentally drops the spoon on
the ground. Instantly the waiter stops by hands hands her
(08:21):
a spoon. It's like, wow, that was pretty quick, and
then she starts looking around sees all the waiters have
spoons in their breast pocket. So she has to ask
the waiter. It's like, what teck's going on with the spoons.
He's like, well, a big management company came by and said, hey,
the most often dropped piece of silverwere happens to be
the spoon. So instead of us running back and forth
(08:43):
and back and forth and back and forth to the
kitchen to grab a spoon, we just carry a spoon
in our breast pocket and as soon as somebody drops one, boom,
there's your spoon. So they go about their meal and
a little bit later the lady also is looking at
all these waiters and goes, huh, it's really weird. They've
got a little string hanging out of their zipper. So
(09:04):
she has to ask. Being the person that she is,
She's like, I have to understand what's going on with
this white string coming out of your zipper. So the
lady goes, all right. So the same management company that
came by and told us about the spoons, they said
it takes so frickishly long for men to go to
the bathroom and pull out their member and then put
(09:25):
it back and then wash their hands and everything, so
people just start. They suggested to tie a string around
it and pull it out too, so you didn't have
to worry about washing your hands. And she said, wow,
that's pretty fascinating. Well, that explain's pulling it out. Well,
how do you put it back? And the guy goes,
(09:46):
I don't know about the other waiters, but I use
the spoon. But doom boom, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm gonna get a bagel. I'm just gonna get a bagel.
You and Kelly back there. You and Kelly can just
do whatever you want to do, and I'll just, you know,
just ask her a question. She'll talk incessantly for an
hour and a half. So they give me time. They'll
get me time to go get a bagel, Go back
to the restroom, you know, go to the first floor.
Check out how many paper towels are down there. Oh,
(10:27):
since I don't have time to do the story, let
me do this one. Have you heard a good joke?
What that's a good joke. That is a good joke.
That's a very good I didn't know where it was
going until you said, how do you put it back here?
And then I thought, oh, this spoon.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
This is what I don't know about everybody else, but
I used the spoon.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, And I can't believe you, Alan Kaminsky.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Oh, he's out of himself. He's in the air over
there many a time. So I've got I don't have a.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Real hang up about it, because, like I say, it
depends on the facility. If it's there, yes I do.
If it's not, well, you know what, I'm pretty careful anyway.
And by the way, I took a shower this morning,
and I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Did you wash your legs?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Okay, So that's another thing Kaminsky always talks about. He
doesn't waste time washing his legs because the soapy water
apparently yeah, uh huh right.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You're in the shower and you don't take the washcloth
and wash your legs.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
And feet off, so he says, I mean, he freely
admits if he's doing you know, gardening work or things
like that for his wife, then if they do get
overtly nasty, he will then wash them. But on a
general daily basis, well.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Then I'm beginning to question why and take a shower,
just wash your face and hands and be done with it.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, yeah, pits and crack and call it good.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, you know you really just wash your pits just well,
I guess you'd use a cloth, wash your hands, in
your face, and then wash your pitts. Or would you
do it? He'd probably do it backwards. He would take
a washcloth, wash his pits and then wash his face
and then wash his hands.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Stir from the bottom, work your way up.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So text line's three three ones a year old? Three?
Do you wash your hands every time you urinate? Now?
Let me ask you this?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Do you wash your hands every time you urinate at home?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Not a chance me either?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Never, never, So what's the difference?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Uh? Public?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes, because particularly here, let's take a black light in
there sometime in look around.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Chance at home hands that come down to the third floor, and.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
At home I live with. If Tamraver decides she wants
to go back to work, she could be a custodian
in an operating you know, like surgery, soft theater. Yeah,
she could do that. So I don't worry about it
at home at all. But I have to be careful
to aim at home where.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I get Oh big for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, big trouble, big, big, big trouble, big big trouble.
If you want to get in big big trouble, get
the Rocky Mountain Men's claik get I'll be getting big
trouble too. Uh. Do you know this actress, Tilly Norwood?
You know her? Dragon?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Uh? It is she? The uh bride of Chucky?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Lady bride of Chucky?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, there was a She's the blonde ditzy one. No Chucky.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Who what are you talking? No, she's an AI actress.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh okay, well they never mind.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The creator of AI actress Tilly Norwood, has released a
statement following a weekend of heated backlash over the news
that talent agents were already interested in signing the digital character.
Wonder if I get an AI replacement so days that
I'm just kind of tired and just like, yeah and
(14:04):
I want to talk today, Just have an AI fill it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Well, it wouldn't need the eye.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well that's true to those who've expressed anger over the
creation of my AI character, Tillie Norwood, she is not
a replacement for a human being, but a creative work,
a piece of art. Like many forms of art before her,
she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power
of creativity, says Leen van der Velden wrote in a
(14:32):
statement on Instagram, also posted on Norwood's own Instagram page.
I see AI not as a replacement for people, but
as a new tool, a new paintbrush. Just as animation,
puppetry or CGI open fresh possibilities without taking away from
live acting, AI offers another way to imagine and build stories.
(14:52):
I'm an actor myself, and nothing, certainly not an AI
character can take away the craft or the joy of
human performance. We're entering a really weird world, very weird.
Wonder what she gets paid AI sex. I guess that's
(15:13):
a new thing.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Too, Bitcoin, since that's bitcoin, since it's not real money,
one of.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
My bit Wonder what my what's bitcoin at today? I
put I forget how much I put in? Maybe one
hundred bucks, a couple hundred bucks, and let's see today.
Oh wow, I'm rich today. I can quit. I have
one eight hundred and fifty dollars and sixty cents in bitcoin.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Oh you've got pat worded money.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I know it's currently at one hundred and thirteen one
hundred and twenty five dollars a coin. It's up three
point four to one percent, eighteen fifty. What can I
do with eighteen hundred and fifty dollars? I could repair
the bathrooms.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
For only on weeks. We've still got eight more to go.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wish I was reminded you because I had stopped by
the Big Boss's office yesterday before I left, and then
the little boss Turnbow was like, you know, I'm listening,
and by the way, I heart thought the one repairing
those bathrooms.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I know.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, we knew that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
We knew that. I mean, how the how dumsy? No,
I don't ask that question. I was gonna asked, how
how dumsy think we are? But we know the answer
to that.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Question tumb enough to let us still be working.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Exactly exactly kind of done today now that you've screwed
everything up.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Good joke.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Hey, you don't pay for anything, so shut up and
sit down.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You asked for that, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Speaking of aiming, how do I teach my eight and
five year old to make sure that they aim every time,
not just when they want to, but every time. Make
a game out of it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Put a sticker in the bowl.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, and a sticker in the bow will.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Aim for that sticker because we have guys of severe ADHD.
So if we're not focused on trying to hit that sticker,
you're you're just gonna it's just gonna be a mess.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, a sticker or you know, they get three points
if they get right in the center, you know where
the little that little hole is and at the bottom
of the bowl.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Where they makes that really deep sound when the when,
when the when, you're when you're getting it?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, just right there. Give them three points and they
accumulate so many points and then they get an ice
cream cone or something.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I have seen in some urinals in like sports bars
where they have like, uh, bull's eyes.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh yeah, I've seen that too, right.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Fifty So yeah, try something like that and it does.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And that's a lot smarter than the bars you go
into they have the sports page for you to read,
because then you're looking at that, you're not at anything.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, yeah, he can be.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You're just wandering around like, oh, where's that going? Where's
your papers? Say? Gee whiz. If the leftists that currently
control the justice system in New York, if they would
convict Donald Trump on thirty four fellow new charges of
not really anything at all. What would they do to
(18:27):
an actual criminal? Do you think now if the criminal
shares their ideology, so you know what the ideology is
of the criminal, then they won't do anything. They won't
do anything at all. National Review reports Manhattan District Attorney
alvim Bragg's office has declined to prosecute a woman who
(18:47):
left a pro life activist bloodied during a Oh what's
this doing? What happened to my refresh? I mean I
lost my story? Manhattan District Attorney alvim Bragg's office declined
to prosecute a woman who left a pro life activist
bloody during a street interview in New York City earlier
this year. According to lawyers from the Thomas Moore Society,
(19:10):
New York Popo arrested Brionna J. Rivers, thirty years old,
knows better than in April and one count's second degree
assault after she sucker punched activists Savannah Craven and Twaw
during a street interview on abortion. The attack was caught
on cameras Craven and TWA asked Rivers questions about abortion
(19:30):
on behalf of the pro life organization Live Action as
Thomas Moore Society Senior Council Christopher Ferrera observed in this article,
this blatant example of selective prosecution shows a troubling disregard
for equal protection, leaving peaceful pro life advocacy exposed to
intimidation and violence. Well, I think that's the point, isn't it.
(19:55):
I mean, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Democrat politicians have been
just priming the base for more violence. I don't know
why we're surprised it is the woman's just trying to
conduct an interview. Well yeah, well I'm not the one
who admitted they would be okay with killing babies and
foster care and killing children that have been abuse.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That's the point them.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And just sucker punches are I mean literally just one
two punch, but not a left and a right, right
and the left. Now we know that Alvin Bragge was
installed by George Soros, who's beginning his money's worth apparently.
It just absolutely bugs my mind. Now when these liberals
(20:41):
warn us about the fascistic doom that the Republicans behind
Trump has in store for us, they mean more than
foreign invaders sometimes just getting deported. Joey Reed gives us
specifics on the fate American face, no income Texas plus
regulation on business, earn as much money as you want
(21:02):
and leave all your money to your children without the
government confiscadia. Doesn't that sound wonderful. I'm so sick of freaking.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yep, you can think of this. You can play it.
There's no problem playing there's nothing wrong with playing it.
Just to anybody on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
He's not going to hear it. I know because I
listened to it earlier. But I'm listening to the content.
I'm not listening to some little probably public domain music
in the background that nobody cares about it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'm not listening to the content.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
No, that's why you're back there and I'm up here now.
I imagine that.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I hate to do this to you podcast listeners, but
this is what joy Reid is afraid of. To be
less modern. I think it's to be more modern. Give
us more of our money, less regulations on business, let
us decide for ourselves how we want to live. That's
what I'd like to do. Meanwhile, over at DHS, ice
is still Oh, another person who's died in the Dallas
(22:02):
shooting from when was that earlier? Is that over the weekend.
I forget when it was, but anyway, the Dallas Ice
Facility sniper, another illegal alien, has now died. This is
an invasion of a sovereign nation, and it is an
active war in my opinion, so I don't think it
should come as any surprise to see weapons used against
(22:23):
those that are tasked with defending the country that's being invaded.
Federal authorities have said that four people were taken into
custody after a laser pointer was aimed at a Department
of Homeland Security helicopter in Portland, all illegal aliens doing so.
The FBI Portland Division said the incident happened on Saturday evening.
(22:46):
Agents said that the Customs and Border Patrol Protection helicopter
was conducting law enforcement operations when it was struck by
the laser. Now you say, well, it's just a pointer, miguel, Well,
it can incapacitate the pilot. And obviously if you're flying
a helicopter. I don't know about you, but I don't
have a pilot's license for a helicopter. And the pilot
(23:08):
gets incapacitated, yeah, well we're going down. Oh. I think
that might be the point of using lasers in that manner.
So if the invader, if these invaders are now at
war with our country, some are the American citizens who
attack federal agents on their behalf, the leftist goons, it's
(23:31):
probably not just terrorism. It may be treason too. That's
just I don't get it. I'm going, as I told
you earlier, I'm taking my granddaughter to New York in
a few weeks. And I called a friend of mine
who is a vice president of the Nine to eleven
(23:52):
Memorial Museum, and I just said, hey, Jay, bringing my granddaughter.
It'd be nice if we could figure out a way
to do you a private tour or something. And Jay
called me right lefting the message. Jay called me right
back and said, yeah, we're gonna do that. I kind
of dread doing it because I've asked my daughter in
(24:13):
law how much she has learned about nine to eleven
from school textbooks. So she asked him. I find out
that my granddaughter, really, I mean, she wasn't born yet,
she doesn't really know that much about what occurred, which
I find astonishing. I don't know if I'll live long
(24:36):
enough to forget standing in that rubble pile or going
in and out of there, or even worse, going over
to Fresh Kills, where we were sorting through all the debris,
everything from fire trucks and giant slabs of concrete with
reebar all the way down to fingers and thumbs. You
(25:01):
could you can tell who worked close to ground zero
because of their attitude toward it. But so Framdani has
an intern who decided it was time to go confront
(25:23):
some New York cops who were trying to protect a protest.
Now it's hard to understand what she's screaming, but she's
screaming at a line of cops who are just standing there,
arms folded, standing in line, keeping everybody at bay. You
(25:44):
read the badges of the pigs and the Mohammed who
can call themselves by the name of Islam. And there's
(26:06):
a guy, there's a cop in MYPD uniform badge number
two four seven to one, whose name is apparently ra
Heat And she's this is the next mayor of New York,
screaming at him, calling him a pig and that he's
an embarrassment to Islam. And he tries not to make
(26:28):
eye contact with her. I don't know whether he's ashamed
or embarrassed. Or just flow mixed or what. But this
is an intern working on the campaign of the mayor
a Similarly, clearly, assimilation is not one of their priorities,
especially when it comes to stopping mobs from writing Oh
(26:52):
so called pigs selflessly, selflessly rushed into the twin Towers
after the attack, only to a perish in the cal
the things they get is currently unfolding, as you can
see by these people. Or how about somebody running for
a city council position.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Here's a campaign are lam leycam and it's me Kayla
and I'm Rasht Medina New York, feebe Ridge, Coney Island, Seagate,
which is that mean? Bathbeach with Daker Heights, Kadmet and
much Alara b will is La Mia, Sene Medina Te
could call them Ashen Biddy adafa imcom I'm she.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Used to be a city councilman on the New York
City Council. New York was originally called New Amsterdam. I
think we had to call it New Deerborn. Hey, Dragon,
I think Kelly and I should take over the rest
of the show.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
We'll have some fun and people will find this very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh I seriously doubt that, But I'll tell you what
is entertaining. Uh. I'll do more of this tomorrow. But
you know, Pete Hegsath, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of War,
excuse me, had this big kumbaya with the generals and
the admirals at Quantico, and apparently Trump showed up. But
(28:18):
hegxas said this, and I bet this raise some hackles.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Bring alongside troops who are out of shape or in
combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat
arms physical standards as men, or troops who are not
fully proficient on their assigned weapons, platform or task, or
under a leader who was the first but not the best.
Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high. If not,
(28:50):
they're not standards, they're just suggestions, suggestions that get our
sons and daughters killed when it comes to combat arms units.
And there are many different stripes across our joint force.
The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don't hurt anyone's feelings.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Leadership ends right now.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
At every level.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Either you can meet the standard, either you can do
the job. Either you are disciplined, fit and trained, or
you are out. And that's why today at my direction
and This is the first of ten Department of War
directives that are arriving at your commands as we speak
and in your inbox today. At my direction, each service
(29:41):
will ensure that every requirement for every combat mos, for
every designated combat arms position returns to the highest mail standard.
Only because this job is life or death. Standards must
be met and not just met. At every level. We
should seek to exceed the standards, to push the envelope,
(30:03):
to compete its common sense and core to who we
are and what we do. It should be in our
DNA today.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
At my direction.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
We are also adding a combat field test for combat arms.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Units that must be executable.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
In any environment, at any time and with combat equipment.
These tests they'll look familiar. They'll resemble the Army Expert
Physical Fitness Assessment or the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test.
I'm also directing that warfighters in combat jobs execute their
Service Fitness Test at a gender neutral age normed male
(30:40):
standard scored above seventy percent. It all starts with physical
fitness and appearance. If the Secretary of War can do
regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Frankly, it's tiring to.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Look out at combat formations or really any formation and
see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat
generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Woah, way howser.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Well, and then the fight started, shots fired, shots fired, and.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Leading commands around the country in the world.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It's a bad look. It is bad, and it's not
who we are.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,
a brand new private or a four star general, you
need to meet the height and weight standards and pass
the PT tests.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Well, here we go.
