 And I just ran a block and a half but I'm not even tired right now. Not even out of breath man. Still got it. Just kind of pounding down that street to catch the bus. Still got it. And so I was flying by on the really hot chicks. And I was thinking, how much would it add joy to their life? Like how much would they be uplifted? Like how much would they just feel brightened and elevated, excited about life? Morally challenged. How much would they be improved? How much would it help their relationship with God? Like how much recovery would it add to their life? They only knew that the middle-aged man who was running past them was the greatest writer of his generation. Sometimes I don't know, it just kind of hurts me inside that I can't bring my message to millions of people because I know it would absolutely change lives. I'm not saying this to my ego. What do I need? Like ego supplementation. You know, 20 live viewers on my show last night at one point before I lost them all. I just feel like the value is the perspectives that I have to show. Do I feel safe on them? Yeah, man, because I'm with my people. I'm with my fellow Los Angelesans. And what we have in common is far greater than what separates us. We are united by our common humanity, by our common dedication to reducing climate change, by getting a handle on green hush and by taking the bus. We're freeing up the road for other people. So it's a selfless act. We're doing this for the planet and we're doing this for Los Angeles. We're thinking globally and we're acting locally. So it's a common humanity. It's far greater than any unofficial barriers of race, sex and class and political, religious and sexual orientation. It's like we've all survived a shipwreck together. We've all survived a plane crash together. Now we're sitting here bonding, making friends. So I don't view the other people on the bus that's airing. I just view them as friends I haven't made yet. And it's invigorating. It's stirring. Dennis Prager wanted to organize dinners with a difference where white people go to the homes of black people, black people go to the homes of white people so that we can really get to know each other and rediscover our common humanity and try to... I am living dinners with a difference right now. Instead of just being stuck in my same old cold, tired world with my cold, tired blood, I'm just invigorated by the multiplicity of approaches to life. I want to talk to you about real people are hurting, bro. People are dying out there from COVID. Real people have long COVID. Real people have short COVID. They're going to save us. This is a controversial statement, so you may need to be sitting down. But I believe the children are our future. I'm just so impressed by the sacrifices that young people are making for the health of older people like me. Whenever I see a two-year-old wearing a face mask, I think she's doing that for me, to save me from getting COVID. When I see teens walking down the street, they're wearing a face mask. I think they're doing that for me, man. They're doing that for me. You're not supposed to say that part out loud. We tried. It could be misunderstood. But yeah, it's better to be a comfort at the back of the bus than an idle worshiper at the front of the bus. It's better to be a fleet on the tail of a lion at the back of this skinhead high school drop. I believe the children are our future. Because they are showing us the way how they wear their face masks, to save us old people who are vulnerable with their compromised immune systems after they're engaging in a little too much pause. And the young people are out there sacrificing. And some of them were out of school for two years. So the people of my age can live. Julie Hartman, Dennis Briggs YouTube, she did a show, she was in Harvard where a bunch of sheep was already some of their vulnerable, vaccinated sacrifices were shut down in the economy in two years. Not just for Dennis Briggs' safety, but for my safety and for your parents' safety. Right? So kids these days, they're just so relatable. I mean, think of the enormous sacrifices they've made doing without school in some cases for two years. So the people of my age with our pause-ridden immune systems that we can live and love. Her mother's a nurse yet to walk through it. Oh, she's a hero, bro. Her mother is one of the thousand points of light that President George H.W. Bush talked about. She's an unsung hero, man. She's the one who shows us a better way. So let's not give in. There's a light and a love that we're making. And I see it every day. Let's not give in. There's a choice we're making. Together we can make a better day. Just you and me. All together now. We are the world. We are the children. We are the ones who make a better day. So let's not give in. There's a choice we're taking. Those are all of us. Together we can make a better day. Just you and me. I'm reaching out my hand to you. I want you to take my hand, brother. Let's lift each other up to continue to be dedicated to the behavioral and lifestyle choices that our public health officials have given us. Together we can make a better day for the immunocompromised, post-ridden elders among us who made some bad choices in the era of free love who went a little too far with the radical love and inclusion. Jefferson Bus Line was clean and safe. Some bus rides are perfectly fine. Okay, so it's like working people and students. And then I find the bus lines where they stop every block. Those are no fun. And the bus lines that attract a lot of people in wheelchairs, they're no fun. Then the bus has to stop for a long time. Then the driver has to get out and have to strap the wheelchair person in. And there's the big hullabaloo. They take up a lot of space. There's a lot of time to get them off the bus. So once they replace the routes the greyhound gave up on the quality. It went down 40 take four hours to get home from downtown L.A. Provides us with thoughtful content when there's stupid people. We've got to attach the bikes to the front of the bus. Then they take it off. Oh, the out-of-town bus is not the city buses. It provides an excellent incentive to work on your cardio. So when I take the bus, I often find myself jogging like two or three whole blocks. And I'm sucking in the air for all I can do. I'm just sucking down as much oxygen as I can get. And I just keep pumping my knees going into oxygen depletion. Because I don't want to get to the bus stop and then have to wait 30 minutes for the next bus. So I'm not sure I'm not sure I would do that serious cardio if I wasn't afraid of waiting at the bus stop for like 30 minutes for the next bus. You don't want to ride the subway in downtown. That is a horror show. The truck use, the trams, the air of menace, just the very dark vibe from the subway in downtown L.A. That's not something you want to want to subject yourself to. So where do you think, do other passengers look at you strange when you mice on the street? Or do you prove I don't mice on the street. Yeah, I'm just sucking down the good old Los Angeles oxygen. That's why I've got the body of like a 49 year old man. Because I get in my cardio running for the bus. No man, I just sit on the same seat. There was a time where I brought a seat cushion. I sat on the seat cushion. Because I found the regular car seats just not a lot of cushion in them. The regular bus seats have no cushioning. So my Toccus would took a little while to adjust but then thought it's just way too precious. Right, for me to just keep taking a seat cushion. And I was afraid that would question my heterosexuality as I was carrying seat cushions around L.A. and Beverly Hills. And now I was getting some weird box. I was the only person bringing a seat cushion onto the bud, onto the bus. I'm not a sniffer bro. I got no sense of smell. I'm very respectable. I like to use this time on the bus for prayer for meditation. Study the news. Come up with more amazing insights for the show to read the London Review of Books. Yep, they hooked me for a year. The New York Review of Books. Apple News Plus. Wall Street Journal. Financial Times. The Atlantic. Vanity Fair. The New Yorker. New York magazines. These are some of the elite publications that I like to peruse. But I'm in an Uber or on a bus. Yeah, those subscriptions adding up. Right. I haven't seen Daniel Goldhagen reviewed in the London Review of Books, but I've only read through the last five back issues. So I'm spending about $200 for largely newspaper subscriptions. Just to bring you the latest and greatest. I mean, it brings me so pleasure to throw down $10 a month to read The Sydney Morning Herald and also a lot of great news articles. They put them out as audio versions on Apple News Plus. Then I've got like 120 audio books. But what's that called? The app. I've got that app. I subscribe for $15 a month. So what am I listening to right now? Oh, I'm listening to a history of the Tudors. Tudor England. So I'm learning about Henry VIII Audible. I got the Audible app. $15 a month for the subscription. Listening to an Audible on the Tudors. Listening to the great love and romance between Henry VIII and the Len and his valiant wife Catherine. Oh, so Woolsey. Cardinal Woolsey. He was the second most powerful man in England for a while. But like Tucker Carlson he may have lost his place. He may have lost a sense of himself. So with Woolsey second most powerful man in England but the king wanted a divorce and Woolsey just thought he could play the king. He thought he could just humor the king. He thought that the king was trainable. But the king wasn't so trainable. Woolsey and Tucker Carlson they thought they were more powerful than the king and their network. They thought they could just humor their bosses. They thought they could just privately criticize their bosses because they were so powerful and they could get away with it. And it wasn't true. So one of my philosophies of life is assume everybody knows everything. Not necessarily true but it's a good philosophy of life. So Tucker Carlson was texting all sorts of things that he did not want to go public. So take the attitude when you text or send emails that the whole world could read it. And we don't know the half of what Tucker put into his text messages and emails that was rendered confidential in the Dominion trial. So some of it was made public but a lot of it was only privy to the judge and opposing counsel and to Fox. So Fox knows all sorts of things that Tucker was writing in private text messages but probably all his text messages with Jim Goad were in there. And who knows what other nefarious characters on the alt-right Tucker Carlson was texting with and what other negative things he said about his employer in his private text messages. So Fox News knows so as soon as they settled the Dominion lawsuit apparently it was all decided Friday. Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch communicated it to Suzanne who was the head of Fox News. When I once more talk on the bus I bring my financial times it inspires a lot of interactions with my fellow bus riders. But I bet the Tucker Carlson said some really shocking things to some shocking figures on the dissident fringes and now his bosses know all about it. So better idea is to operate as though everyone knows everything and don't put things into writing that would blow your life up and blow up your relationship with your boss. And don't be so sure that you can just humor people. We did not evolve to be gullible. So you think you can just humor your boss humor your superiors humor those in power but you're really running some sophisticated scheme and they're not going to be after figuring out what you're doing. And it doesn't really work. A little bit of it can work but as an ongoing basis it doesn't really work because even 90 IQ people have evolved really good mechanisms for detecting when other people are trying to manipulate them. Instead just act as though everybody knows everything. So that your life shines among men and they all speak of your good works. So I've probably read about 50 articles on Tucker Carlson's firing. So he was apparently absolutely gobsmacked. He was absolutely shocked because he thought he was so tight with Lachlan but I think the Murdochs are getting ready to sell Fox News. So I think their cleaning house getting rid of the most toxic members of Fox News and and then they're going to sell Fox News. And then they're probably going to new owners will probably shift Fox News into a little bit more of the respectable and of the Republican spectrum and away from the Maria Bartiromo Judge Jeanine Pirro Tucker Carlson Mark Levine type of cranky people make Fox News more respectable. So the Fox News division was ecstatic that Tucker got fired because he was mocking, belittling and calling for the firing of various people in the Fox News division. So a lot of his co-workers were really glad to be rid of Tucker. He steadily isolated himself. He got outside the herd isolated himself from his co-workers and they were glad to see him go. So Fox News division of Fox News has really taken some big credibility hits. So I suspect Murdochs will sell Fox News. New owners will try to restore the credibility of the news division bring a little more balance to the opinion programming and then try to bring back the prestige advertising on Mike Gallo and the scummy advertisers and you want to see these bands and Mastercard and Visa advertising and Big Car Car
