you are probably gonna miss.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay, Winter Olympics story. The Olympics open up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Opening ceremony is about an hour from now, and it's
gonna draw billions of viewers, just a whole pack of dignitaries.
It'll be going into They're gonna go into Milan Sun
Siero Stadium and so there's gonna be a grand unveiling
of the Winter Games. Also, it's a grand target for terrorists.
(01:00):
Franz Regal, who led the cyber security efforts in the
twenty twenty four Olympics in Paris, said, if attackers want
to alter the games, to sabotage the Games, it's the
opening ceremony where they go to So we got more
than one thousand performers and they're going to act as
Italy's calling card to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The world, because that's what happens during these Olympics.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And nowadays we cannot talk about the Olympics without talking
about security. You know, over the years, we've done a
lot of Olympics story. Every four years we do it,
and security has become more and more of a story
to where the security issues are probably the primary story
of the Olympics. So what you have is at this
(01:44):
point literally one of the largest most complex security operations
in Italian history, only to be beat by the next Olympics,
only to be beat by the Olympics after that, six
thousand security personnel, a fleet of drones and rows, and
the cyber attacks, that's the one that even though people
(02:06):
don't die like a terrorist attack, it affects so many people,
can affect the entire games. Italian officials said they had
thwarted an attempted cyber attack on some government and Olympics
related websites. It's just happened yesterday, including hotels in Cortina,
(02:28):
and the Foreign minister said these were Russian in origin.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now little history.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Twenty eighteen major cyber attack attributed to Russia, by the way,
led to a disruption of the opening ceremonies of the
Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Took out internet
access and telecasts, grounded drones supposed to be part of
the ceremonies. They do drones now instead of fireworks, really
(02:57):
and interesting stuff, shut down the game's website, prevented spectators
from printing out tickets, which is why the opening ceremonies,
you saw so many empty seats in the stands. Do
you know what a ticket costs to go to opening ceremony?
How you could have empty seats impossible except under these circumstances.
(03:19):
And Russia was trying to disguise that attack as being
perpetrated by North Korea, which was not the case. And
Russians have been a menace to the Olympics for more
than a decade. Why it goes back to the exposure
of the state sponsored doping program where Russian athletes have been.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Banned from the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That ban continued on because of Ukraine, the Russia's twenty
two twenty two invasion of Ukraine. Now, Russian athletes we
talked about this yesterday. Russian athletes are allowed to compete
because these you know, just the sheer understanding of what
these athletes do. They spend a lifetime practicing and just
(04:08):
every minute of their lives. They don't have social lives.
They just I don't know if you've ever known an
Olympic athlete.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I dated one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I dated an Olympic diver when I was in high
school and we didn't have time to do anything. I mean,
all she did was literally dive dive, dive after school,
before school weekends in.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The old time or special Olympics. Very funny. The Olympics.
She won the nationals the year before, and unfortunately during
the Olympic.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Trials she got sick and had the flu that day
and can you imagine that, and her coach stopped And
this is a true story, and you're not going to
be surprised. Her coach forced her to give me up.
It's either you or diving, or yeah, you get rid of
(05:01):
handle or diving. You have to make a decision, which,
of course, she gave up me. And that's because all
we did was eat fast food and she put on
weight while we were dating. If you saw my car
at that time, the floor of the car was nothing
but rappers from McDonald's, from fast food establishments, and so
(05:25):
you know, I know firsthand what it takes well first
of all to eat fast food that much, but also
what it takes to be an Olympic athlete. So anyway,
Russian athletes can participate, but only as neutrals, not representing Russia.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And here's what Russia has done recently.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
They've hacked vents, They've had a disinformation campaign, and this
was before the Paris Olympics, including a fake documentary featuring
the voice of Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Which was completely faked.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And then the big issue here, why the ones that
Italians are most upset about is ICE is coming and
they are livid. The Italians are livid to the point
where the US government says, yeah, ICE is coming, but
only as an intelligence, intelligence and liaison gathering attributable to
Olympic Games, which ICE does constantly at all international events
(06:23):
or most international big events.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So there's nothing unusual here.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But the Italians want nothing to do with ICE, I
mean zero, because not only does ICE have a questionable
reputation now because of the protests and the deportations and
sweeping up people, but only the worst of the worst keep.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That in mind.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, like Rene Good and Alex pretty the worst of
the worst. But also is that this goes around the world.
I mean it has become huge news protests around the world.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The Grammys just happened last Sunday. Billie Eilish was up
there at the podium and said, no one is illegal
on stolen land. Now that got kind of interesting because
you got a big cheer. The first half of the
statement was basically a favorite because it was aimed at
(07:24):
President Trump and Ice no one is illegal. But then
the other issue, the second half was a throwback, very
popular land declaration. We've heard this over and over again,
and this is a kind of appropriate time to do this.
So Washington Post, it was not bad peace on the
Washington Post talking about and a lot of people think
(07:46):
this that we are on stolen land, right, Native Americans,
this is their country, this is their land. It was,
that's for sure. So in the past decade we've heard
this over and over again, where all the land in
this country was originally indigenous titled.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
By the way, the Indians Native Americans never considered land theirs.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The land was the land.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now there were territories that were protected, but they didn't
have the same concept of ownership and title as we do.
The fun one here is in twenty twenty two, La
County unanimously adopted a Land Acknowledgment Proclamation, and it said
that we occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared
(08:38):
for by the Tongva, Tatavium, Serrano Keats or keys, and
the Shumash people, and that we acknowledged that settler colonization
resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide,
multi generational trauma. I will tell you right now the
(09:02):
Trump administration did not write that and did not force
La County to make that proclamation. So it's let's take
on as much guilt as possible. Had no idea that
the entire La County government was filled with Jews, nothing
but guilt. Guilt, all right, So let's talk about that
for a moment, because this gets kind of interesting. We
(09:24):
who are we, presumably white people. What's missing is that
we did far worse to each other. For example, we
didn't steal land from Native Americans.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We stole land.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
From the Spanish, who stole the land from Native Americans
because they're the ones that colonized and then we grabbed
it from them. So oh, here's the question. Okay, you
have land taken from X many years ago, and in
the centuries between that, that land goes from y to z,
(09:56):
whether it's bought or whether it's taken over in battle,
whether there's.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
A treaty or not.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then you have other people hundreds of years later,
have built, torn down, built again.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The Holmes Hospitals, schools.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So how do you undo that where land goes to
the original owners And it's like reparations, except reparations it's
a little easier to deal with because all you're doing
is writing a check.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This one. You're talking about ownership of land. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
The bottom line is that land is pretty unique, and
it does change hands and it is taken.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So here's an example.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do the Brits give the land back to the Normans
who conquered the Anglos in ten sixty six at the
Battle of Hastings. Do we go back that far? It's
only been twelve hundred years, so the answer clearly is no.
But there is this is political speak at it's worse,
(11:01):
this is political correctness that we are evil in that
what we have done, we are horrible people because we
have been slave owners, which is true, not us them.
And why we are apologizing for something to happen one
hundred years ago. We can easily say that was wrong.
I have no problem with that at all. We can
(11:21):
easily say that is a stain upon this country. But
apologizing for something that happened one hundred two hundred, three
hundred years ago and taking it to a legal conclusion
that one is, I mean, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Reparations clearly is one of the issues.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
How much do we pay African Americans who can directly
point to their ancestry to slaves And if your.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Great great great great grandfather was a slave.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You then get money because you came from a slaveholding family. Well, okay,
now what and when does that stop? And does it ever?
And so this is simply sort of a lesson about
land ownership and why even living on land, except for
(12:17):
a few exceptions, doesn't necessarily mean you own the land.
There's a legal concept here, and it has to be recognized.
All disputes of any kind have to come to a
legal end because life.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Goes on, commerce goes on, The Grammys go on.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You have statute to limitations and they have to have
statute of limitations saying, even if the land was taken
from you wrongly, you have X number of years to
file acclaim and if you don't, it's over because then
it goes on forever. So Billie Eilish, Okay, thank you
for saying we live on stolen land.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Was there a tribe that came out and said that
her house in Malibu is on their former land or something?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, a million dollar house, that's true. I think they did.
Fourteen million dollar house.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh, it's a fourteen million dollar house on stolen on
stolen land.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And a law firm are you talking about, Billie Eilish
right now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. The law firm came forward
and they said that they would represent the tongue of
the tribe at no charge and help evictor from her
stolen land. And how about this?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And there's another concept, I mean, as stupid as that sound,
there's something called the bona fide buyer. She buys the
land or buys the house from someone who bought the house,
and bought the land from someone who bought the house. Neil,
how many how many people have owned your property over
the year since it was built nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh yeah, who the hell knows now, right? So who
stole on? And by the way, what are those peaces?
So you take it back?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So say the original owners decide it was stolen from
me or for whatever reason, who do they get it
back from the people the last people that bought it
and spent their life savings.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well that's what's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You know, there was a house down the street, couple
doors down, family owned since the beginning. It had been
handed down generation since it was built, and it was
foreclosed on, and so maybe you know, decades and generations
from now, is someone going to come back and say,
I don't think it was a rightful foreclosure.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It was a family you know. It's it's all stolen land.
We live all still.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Traced back to the origins of who was the first
one on the land as well?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, I wish I had stolen my house.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It cost me way too much money, All right, sure,
why not say f I handle it here?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Good morning, everybody?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yay, great music, you bet youem okay. Olympics opens up.
About twenty minutes, opening ceremonies happened, and there is something
at the Olympics that's going on, and it's penis gate
now as fun as that much as much fun as
that's it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Well, your penis is a thing. But I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
About this whole issue is a thing, and it has
to do with ski jumpers, and it has to do
with ski jumping and what can make them jump further.
And so the if you notice that the ski jump
outfits are skin tight, they're like a second skin, and
(15:25):
aerodynamically they you have to have the air, or the
ski jumpers want air move as quickly past them as possible,
except if you can somehow get a sale effect. In
other words, as the air moves up. It's like those
what do you call those flying squirrel suits that that
(15:48):
the jump the jumpers where you know where they're jumping
out of airplanes. Yeah, it's like a glider outfit.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We have these.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
They look like wings almost base jumping, thank you, or
just fling out of airplanes and going for miles and miles.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So the point is is that that kind of that fabric,
that clothing gives lyft. So it is very important for
ski jumpers who can get extra lyft, to get extra lyft. Now,
they're not allowed to do it because everybody has to
be even Stephen in terms of clothing. So the Olympics
organization International Olympic Committee has very specific rules as to
(16:29):
form fitting clothing. Well, Penis Gate is about taking this
chemical and injecting it into the penis, and the World
Anti Doping Agency is going to investigate this because allegations
that come forward from the German newspaper Build Bild, which
(16:53):
is actually pretty well respected, and what Build is claiming
is that athletes have been in an acid into their
penises to gain the system when they're measured for their
suits and.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
A penis and injection is a is a very very
solid nobe for me.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, it is, and because the suits are very tightly regulated,
so no athlete has an aerodynamic advantage. So it's a
hyluronic acid used in cosmetic surgery and to enlarge penile girth,
a bigger swans. So this makes the suit like, well,
(17:33):
what happens is you yes, no, you inject the penis,
you get more growth. The penis expands in size, which
means that the form fitting suit is going to expand
and then once the acid wears off, then the shrinkage occurs,
and there.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Is extra material, okay, and what is extra material? Extra
material is like yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
An extra So that can actually translate into a farther jump.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I've heard, and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I heard that the average is it makes them go
five point five inches further.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But that seems that seems small to me. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's not well five point five inches to anybody. That's
the averages, and I mean five point five inches is
just the end.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Of the world. Of course, that seems small to me.
Of course it does. I guess in the Olympics every
little bit count well when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, we'll look at downhill skiing hundreds of a second,
and if you're looking at any of the other contest
I mean, it literally goes by the inch, especially in
Penis Gate. It couldn't be more appropriate. I told you
it's a great story. And as I said earlier in
the news, this originally started with experimentation with pole vaulters
(18:53):
and it worked out beautifully for them. The additional the
acid that was put at the base of.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The penis So.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
This is great and they're investigating it, and if it
turns out that it is true, and certainly the build
the magazine on the newspaper saying that it is this
is going to be a scandal.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Beyond a scandal.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Sandro Pertilli, the men's race director for the International Ski
and Snowboard Federation, says, f every extra centimeter on a
suit counts. So if your suit has a five percent
bigger surface area, you fly further. So let me tell
you how large does your swans have to be to
have the suit five percent bigger? Yeah, you're doing rope tricks, Yeah,
(19:46):
for sure. Okay, I told you it was fun. I
told you this. This is the topic.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And by the way, here's another one I thought i'd
share with you. And I think I've mentioned this before.
Side effects of various rubs, the side effects of this.
For example, they're just starting to study and there are
they're discovering a side effect on viagra and they started
using it for burn victims.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Very few people know that, And Will is looking at me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Why is viagra vern i used for burns because it
keeps the sheets off of your body, so you don't
want the sheets to actually touch your body. We're done
with that, Okay. Just a story about Miss Piggy and
I guess the word.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Piggy became big news again after President Trump called a
reporter Piggy.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
But this happened nearly fifty years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Miss Piggy made her first appearance on the Muppet Show
and became its breakout star, and within a few years
she was a Hollywood celebrity. She was a pin up model,
the author of a best selling book. I don't know
if you've ever seen Miss Piggy on on the Muppet Show.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Just terrific.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
There is a movie now being developed by Jennifer Lawrence,
Emma Stone. There's a new Muppet Show special on Disney
coming out and who's at the center of it Piggy
front and center. Eric Jacobson, who's been playing Miss Piggy
for years. He said it's the role of a lifetime
(21:24):
and he does a lot of voices. He does Bird, Grover, Oscar,
the Grouch on Sesame Street, Fozzy Bear.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But he said, with Miss Piggy, it's a whole.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's another magnitude, as she would tell you herself. And
the A list actors and actresses line up to be
karate chopped by Miss Piggy. So here is the story
A pig and opera gloves would have been a decent
gag in and of itself, but during rehearsal it became
(21:57):
pretty clear this was an extraordinary character. So in rehearsal
the script specified that she delivered a slap. Now the
puppeteer Frank Oz instead had Piggy execute a karate chop
by a and preceded by a full torso wind up
and accompanied by Hay.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And that sent.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Kermit flying across the room. Miss Piggy was born. Oh
here's a little factoid. She was named originally Miss Piggy
Lee in honor of Peggy Lee, until an attorney said,
maybe you don't want to do that. That's not such
a good idea, so the Lee part was left out.
Miss Piggy, if you've ever seen her, she's a puppet,
(22:42):
but just hilarious, deeply insecure, yet convinced of her own
star quality. And according to Jerry Jewel, the head writer
for the Muppet Show, writing for Miss Piggy has not
been easy.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You have to walk a fine line with the character.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If she isn't a bit, she isn't funny, but you
got to feel the other side too, And in reality,
if you look at everything that happened, Miss Piggy's dreams
of becoming a superstar actually became a reality. To give
you an idea, nineteen eighty, the Year of the Piggy
was announced by TV Guide, cover Stories all Over, Life Magazine,
(23:21):
A Sweet Sow or So for All Seasons, People Magazine,
The Acme of Porkitude, Piggy Calendars, Motorcycle Babe, Film Noir,
fem Fatale, and then nineteen eighty one best seller Miss
Piggy's Guide to Life. And considering that Piggy is going
(23:44):
to go away, certainly the Piggy statement from President Trump,
it's going to be It's among many many statements. Miss
Piggy doesn't disappear, not at all. She earns for all
things like we do. And Piggy also has kind of
a a drag allure. RuPaul of course, is a huge
fan because well, it's Piggy. She's this fantastic mashup of
(24:08):
masculine and feminine, and I think that's what counts for
so many people of all stripes who love her.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's rue.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Paul as actually, Oz the Puppeteer once described her as
a truck driver wanting to be a woman. That's great.
I love Miss Piggy. Everybody loves Miss Piggy. And it's cultish.
I mean, you talk about a cult following. As I said,
they don't have to worry on The Muppet Show.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They don't have to worry.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
About a list actors and personalities. They're being called by
actors and personalities to appear on Sesame Street and certainly
all of the Kermit, the Frog.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
All of them up. It's movies.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So just a great story about Miss Piggy and what's
going on, new movie coming out on Disney and you Piggy,
You to that reporter works out, doesn't it. This is

(00:33):
you are probably gonna miss.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay, Winter Olympics story. The Olympics open up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Opening ceremony is about an hour from now, and it's
gonna draw billions of viewers, just a whole pack of dignitaries.
It'll be going into They're gonna go into Milan Sun
Siero Stadium and so there's gonna be a grand unveiling
of the Winter Games. Also, it's a grand target for terrorists.
(01:00):
Franz Regal, who led the cyber security efforts in the
twenty twenty four Olympics in Paris, said, if attackers want
to alter the games, to sabotage the Games, it's the
opening ceremony where they go to So we got more
than one thousand performers and they're going to act as
Italy's calling card to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The world, because that's what happens during these Olympics.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And nowadays we cannot talk about the Olympics without talking
about security. You know, over the years, we've done a
lot of Olympics story. Every four years we do it,
and security has become more and more of a story
to where the security issues are probably the primary story
of the Olympics. So what you have is at this
(01:44):
point literally one of the largest most complex security operations
in Italian history, only to be beat by the next Olympics,
only to be beat by the Olympics after that, six
thousand security personnel, a fleet of drones and rows, and
the cyber attacks, that's the one that even though people
(02:06):
don't die like a terrorist attack, it affects so many people,
can affect the entire games. Italian officials said they had
thwarted an attempted cyber attack on some government and Olympics
related websites. It's just happened yesterday, including hotels in Cortina,
(02:28):
and the Foreign minister said these were Russian in origin.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now little history.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Twenty eighteen major cyber attack attributed to Russia, by the way,
led to a disruption of the opening ceremonies of the
Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Took out internet
access and telecasts, grounded drones supposed to be part of
the ceremonies. They do drones now instead of fireworks, really
(02:57):
and interesting stuff, shut down the game's website, prevented spectators
from printing out tickets, which is why the opening ceremonies,
you saw so many empty seats in the stands. Do
you know what a ticket costs to go to opening ceremony?
How you could have empty seats impossible except under these circumstances.
(03:19):
And Russia was trying to disguise that attack as being
perpetrated by North Korea, which was not the case. And
Russians have been a menace to the Olympics for more
than a decade. Why it goes back to the exposure
of the state sponsored doping program where Russian athletes have been.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Banned from the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That ban continued on because of Ukraine, the Russia's twenty
two twenty two invasion of Ukraine. Now, Russian athletes we
talked about this yesterday. Russian athletes are allowed to compete
because these you know, just the sheer understanding of what
these athletes do. They spend a lifetime practicing and just
(04:08):
every minute of their lives. They don't have social lives.
They just I don't know if you've ever known an
Olympic athlete.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I dated one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I dated an Olympic diver when I was in high
school and we didn't have time to do anything. I mean,
all she did was literally dive dive, dive after school,
before school weekends in.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The old time or special Olympics. Very funny. The Olympics.
She won the nationals the year before, and unfortunately during
the Olympic.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Trials she got sick and had the flu that day
and can you imagine that, and her coach stopped And
this is a true story, and you're not going to
be surprised. Her coach forced her to give me up.
It's either you or diving, or yeah, you get rid of
(05:01):
handle or diving. You have to make a decision, which,
of course, she gave up me. And that's because all
we did was eat fast food and she put on
weight while we were dating. If you saw my car
at that time, the floor of the car was nothing
but rappers from McDonald's, from fast food establishments, and so
(05:25):
you know, I know firsthand what it takes well first
of all to eat fast food that much, but also
what it takes to be an Olympic athlete. So anyway,
Russian athletes can participate, but only as neutrals, not representing Russia.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And here's what Russia has done recently.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
They've hacked vents, They've had a disinformation campaign, and this
was before the Paris Olympics, including a fake documentary featuring
the voice of Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Which was completely faked.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And then the big issue here, why the ones that
Italians are most upset about is ICE is coming and
they are livid. The Italians are livid to the point
where the US government says, yeah, ICE is coming, but
only as an intelligence, intelligence and liaison gathering attributable to
Olympic Games, which ICE does constantly at all international events
(06:23):
or most international big events.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So there's nothing unusual here.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But the Italians want nothing to do with ICE, I
mean zero, because not only does ICE have a questionable
reputation now because of the protests and the deportations and
sweeping up people, but only the worst of the worst keep.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That in mind.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, like Rene Good and Alex pretty the worst of
the worst. But also is that this goes around the world.
I mean it has become huge news protests around the world.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The Grammys just happened last Sunday. Billie Eilish was up
there at the podium and said, no one is illegal
on stolen land. Now that got kind of interesting because
you got a big cheer. The first half of the
statement was basically a favorite because it was aimed at
(07:24):
President Trump and Ice no one is illegal. But then
the other issue, the second half was a throwback, very
popular land declaration. We've heard this over and over again,
and this is a kind of appropriate time to do this.
So Washington Post, it was not bad peace on the
Washington Post talking about and a lot of people think
(07:46):
this that we are on stolen land, right, Native Americans,
this is their country, this is their land. It was,
that's for sure. So in the past decade we've heard
this over and over again, where all the land in
this country was originally indigenous titled.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
By the way, the Indians Native Americans never considered land theirs.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The land was the land.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now there were territories that were protected, but they didn't
have the same concept of ownership and title as we do.
The fun one here is in twenty twenty two, La
County unanimously adopted a Land Acknowledgment Proclamation, and it said
that we occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared
(08:38):
for by the Tongva, Tatavium, Serrano Keats or keys, and
the Shumash people, and that we acknowledged that settler colonization
resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide,
multi generational trauma. I will tell you right now the
(09:02):
Trump administration did not write that and did not force
La County to make that proclamation. So it's let's take
on as much guilt as possible. Had no idea that
the entire La County government was filled with Jews, nothing
but guilt. Guilt, all right, So let's talk about that
for a moment, because this gets kind of interesting. We
(09:24):
who are we, presumably white people. What's missing is that
we did far worse to each other. For example, we
didn't steal land from Native Americans.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We stole land.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
From the Spanish, who stole the land from Native Americans
because they're the ones that colonized and then we grabbed
it from them. So oh, here's the question. Okay, you
have land taken from X many years ago, and in
the centuries between that, that land goes from y to z,
(09:56):
whether it's bought or whether it's taken over in battle,
whether there's.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
A treaty or not.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then you have other people hundreds of years later,
have built, torn down, built again.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The Holmes Hospitals, schools.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So how do you undo that where land goes to
the original owners And it's like reparations, except reparations it's
a little easier to deal with because all you're doing
is writing a check.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This one. You're talking about ownership of land. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
The bottom line is that land is pretty unique, and
it does change hands and it is taken.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So here's an example.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do the Brits give the land back to the Normans
who conquered the Anglos in ten sixty six at the
Battle of Hastings. Do we go back that far? It's
only been twelve hundred years, so the answer clearly is no.
But there is this is political speak at it's worse,
(11:01):
this is political correctness that we are evil in that
what we have done, we are horrible people because we
have been slave owners, which is true, not us them.
And why we are apologizing for something to happen one
hundred years ago. We can easily say that was wrong.
I have no problem with that at all. We can
(11:21):
easily say that is a stain upon this country. But
apologizing for something that happened one hundred two hundred, three
hundred years ago and taking it to a legal conclusion
that one is, I mean, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Reparations clearly is one of the issues.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
How much do we pay African Americans who can directly
point to their ancestry to slaves And if your.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Great great great great grandfather was a slave.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You then get money because you came from a slaveholding family. Well, okay,
now what and when does that stop? And does it ever?
And so this is simply sort of a lesson about
land ownership and why even living on land, except for
(12:17):
a few exceptions, doesn't necessarily mean you own the land.
There's a legal concept here, and it has to be recognized.
All disputes of any kind have to come to a
legal end because life.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Goes on, commerce goes on, The Grammys go on.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You have statute to limitations and they have to have
statute of limitations saying, even if the land was taken
from you wrongly, you have X number of years to
file acclaim and if you don't, it's over because then
it goes on forever. So Billie Eilish, Okay, thank you
for saying we live on stolen land.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Was there a tribe that came out and said that
her house in Malibu is on their former land or something?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, a million dollar house, that's true. I think they did.
Fourteen million dollar house.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh, it's a fourteen million dollar house on stolen on
stolen land.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And a law firm are you talking about, Billie Eilish
right now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. The law firm came forward
and they said that they would represent the tongue of
the tribe at no charge and help evictor from her
stolen land. And how about this?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And there's another concept, I mean, as stupid as that sound,
there's something called the bona fide buyer. She buys the
land or buys the house from someone who bought the house,
and bought the land from someone who bought the house. Neil,
how many how many people have owned your property over
the year since it was built nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh yeah, who the hell knows now, right? So who
stole on? And by the way, what are those peaces?
So you take it back?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So say the original owners decide it was stolen from
me or for whatever reason, who do they get it
back from the people the last people that bought it
and spent their life savings.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well that's what's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You know, there was a house down the street, couple
doors down, family owned since the beginning. It had been
handed down generation since it was built, and it was
foreclosed on, and so maybe you know, decades and generations
from now, is someone going to come back and say,
I don't think it was a rightful foreclosure.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It was a family you know. It's it's all stolen land.
We live all still.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Traced back to the origins of who was the first
one on the land as well?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, I wish I had stolen my house.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It cost me way too much money, All right, sure,
why not say f I handle it here?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Good morning, everybody?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yay, great music, you bet youem okay. Olympics opens up.
About twenty minutes, opening ceremonies happened, and there is something
at the Olympics that's going on, and it's penis gate
now as fun as that much as much fun as
that's it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Well, your penis is a thing. But I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
About this whole issue is a thing, and it has
to do with ski jumpers, and it has to do
with ski jumping and what can make them jump further.
And so the if you notice that the ski jump
outfits are skin tight, they're like a second skin, and
(15:25):
aerodynamically they you have to have the air, or the
ski jumpers want air move as quickly past them as possible,
except if you can somehow get a sale effect. In
other words, as the air moves up. It's like those
what do you call those flying squirrel suits that that
(15:48):
the jump the jumpers where you know where they're jumping
out of airplanes. Yeah, it's like a glider outfit.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We have these.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
They look like wings almost base jumping, thank you, or
just fling out of airplanes and going for miles and miles.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So the point is is that that kind of that fabric,
that clothing gives lyft. So it is very important for
ski jumpers who can get extra lyft, to get extra lyft. Now,
they're not allowed to do it because everybody has to
be even Stephen in terms of clothing. So the Olympics
organization International Olympic Committee has very specific rules as to
(16:29):
form fitting clothing. Well, Penis Gate is about taking this
chemical and injecting it into the penis, and the World
Anti Doping Agency is going to investigate this because allegations
that come forward from the German newspaper Build Bild, which
(16:53):
is actually pretty well respected, and what Build is claiming
is that athletes have been in an acid into their
penises to gain the system when they're measured for their
suits and.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
A penis and injection is a is a very very
solid nobe for me.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, it is, and because the suits are very tightly regulated,
so no athlete has an aerodynamic advantage. So it's a
hyluronic acid used in cosmetic surgery and to enlarge penile girth,
a bigger swans. So this makes the suit like, well,
(17:33):
what happens is you yes, no, you inject the penis,
you get more growth. The penis expands in size, which
means that the form fitting suit is going to expand
and then once the acid wears off, then the shrinkage occurs,
and there.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Is extra material, okay, and what is extra material? Extra
material is like yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
An extra So that can actually translate into a farther jump.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I've heard, and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I heard that the average is it makes them go
five point five inches further.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But that seems that seems small to me. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's not well five point five inches to anybody. That's
the averages, and I mean five point five inches is
just the end.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Of the world. Of course, that seems small to me.
Of course it does. I guess in the Olympics every
little bit count well when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, we'll look at downhill skiing hundreds of a second,
and if you're looking at any of the other contest
I mean, it literally goes by the inch, especially in
Penis Gate. It couldn't be more appropriate. I told you
it's a great story. And as I said earlier in
the news, this originally started with experimentation with pole vaulters
(18:53):
and it worked out beautifully for them. The additional the
acid that was put at the base of.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The penis So.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
This is great and they're investigating it, and if it
turns out that it is true, and certainly the build
the magazine on the newspaper saying that it is this
is going to be a scandal.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Beyond a scandal.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Sandro Pertilli, the men's race director for the International Ski
and Snowboard Federation, says, f every extra centimeter on a
suit counts. So if your suit has a five percent
bigger surface area, you fly further. So let me tell
you how large does your swans have to be to
have the suit five percent bigger? Yeah, you're doing rope tricks, Yeah,
(19:46):
for sure. Okay, I told you it was fun. I
told you this. This is the topic.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And by the way, here's another one I thought i'd
share with you. And I think I've mentioned this before.
Side effects of various rubs, the side effects of this.
For example, they're just starting to study and there are
they're discovering a side effect on viagra and they started
using it for burn victims.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Very few people know that, And Will is looking at me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Why is viagra vern i used for burns because it
keeps the sheets off of your body, so you don't
want the sheets to actually touch your body. We're done
with that, Okay. Just a story about Miss Piggy and
I guess the word.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Piggy became big news again after President Trump called a
reporter Piggy.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
But this happened nearly fifty years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Miss Piggy made her first appearance on the Muppet Show
and became its breakout star, and within a few years
she was a Hollywood celebrity. She was a pin up model,
the author of a best selling book. I don't know
if you've ever seen Miss Piggy on on the Muppet Show.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Just terrific.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
There is a movie now being developed by Jennifer Lawrence,
Emma Stone. There's a new Muppet Show special on Disney
coming out and who's at the center of it Piggy
front and center. Eric Jacobson, who's been playing Miss Piggy
for years. He said it's the role of a lifetime
(21:24):
and he does a lot of voices. He does Bird, Grover, Oscar,
the Grouch on Sesame Street, Fozzy Bear.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But he said, with Miss Piggy, it's a whole.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's another magnitude, as she would tell you herself. And
the A list actors and actresses line up to be
karate chopped by Miss Piggy. So here is the story
A pig and opera gloves would have been a decent
gag in and of itself, but during rehearsal it became
(21:57):
pretty clear this was an extraordinary character. So in rehearsal
the script specified that she delivered a slap. Now the
puppeteer Frank Oz instead had Piggy execute a karate chop
by a and preceded by a full torso wind up
and accompanied by Hay.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And that sent.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Kermit flying across the room. Miss Piggy was born. Oh
here's a little factoid. She was named originally Miss Piggy
Lee in honor of Peggy Lee, until an attorney said,
maybe you don't want to do that. That's not such
a good idea, so the Lee part was left out.
Miss Piggy, if you've ever seen her, she's a puppet,
(22:42):
but just hilarious, deeply insecure, yet convinced of her own
star quality. And according to Jerry Jewel, the head writer
for the Muppet Show, writing for Miss Piggy has not
been easy.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You have to walk a fine line with the character.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If she isn't a bit, she isn't funny, but you
got to feel the other side too, And in reality,
if you look at everything that happened, Miss Piggy's dreams
of becoming a superstar actually became a reality. To give
you an idea, nineteen eighty, the Year of the Piggy
was announced by TV Guide, cover Stories all Over, Life Magazine,
(23:21):
A Sweet Sow or So for All Seasons, People Magazine,
The Acme of Porkitude, Piggy Calendars, Motorcycle Babe, Film Noir,
fem Fatale, and then nineteen eighty one best seller Miss
Piggy's Guide to Life. And considering that Piggy is going
(23:44):
to go away, certainly the Piggy statement from President Trump,
it's going to be It's among many many statements. Miss
Piggy doesn't disappear, not at all. She earns for all
things like we do. And Piggy also has kind of
a a drag allure. RuPaul of course, is a huge
fan because well, it's Piggy. She's this fantastic mashup of
(24:08):
masculine and feminine, and I think that's what counts for
so many people of all stripes who love her.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's rue.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Paul as actually, Oz the Puppeteer once described her as
a truck driver wanting to be a woman. That's great.
I love Miss Piggy. Everybody loves Miss Piggy. And it's cultish.
I mean, you talk about a cult following. As I said,
they don't have to worry on The Muppet Show.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They don't have to worry.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
About a list actors and personalities. They're being called by
actors and personalities to appear on Sesame Street and certainly
all of the Kermit, the Frog.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
All of them up. It's movies.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So just a great story about Miss Piggy and what's
going on, new movie coming out on Disney and you Piggy,
You to that reporter works out, doesn't it. This is
