WEBVTT - A Good Slapping

0:00:01.890 --> 0:00:05.770
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:05.790 --> 0:00:07.790
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.830 --> 0:00:12.110
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now,

0:00:12.470 --> 0:00:17.350
<v Speaker 2>here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 3>This running of this miscellaneous character with the same name

0:00:28.180 --> 0:00:32.790
<v Speaker 3>as the incumbent Republican Senator is clearly... It's a dirty

0:00:32.890 --> 0:00:34.790
<v Speaker 3>trick if there ever was one, and it's about as

0:00:34.909 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 3>cynical politically as anything you could imagine. And I think

0:00:38.580 --> 0:00:41.140
<v Speaker 3>if we had a different media climate in the country

0:00:41.220 --> 0:00:46.420
<v Speaker 3>and in Alaska, this would have been a subject of

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.450
<v Speaker 3>a great deal of coverage and a lot of pressure

0:00:48.510 --> 0:00:50.870
<v Speaker 3>on the Democrats to get this guy to drop out.

0:00:51.310 --> 0:00:54.870
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's interesting. Britt Humes, senior political analyst and old...

0:00:55.540 --> 0:01:00.380
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's still got the sensibilities of a bygone era.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.980
<v Speaker 2>Because that's, you know, clearly never going to happen now

0:01:04.020 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>or in the future. But you've got that extra Dan

0:01:06.740 --> 0:01:08.980
<v Speaker 2>Sullivan running in Alaska. And the reason I wanted to

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:13.630
<v Speaker 2>bring this up is... I think it was Face the Nation.

0:01:13.830 --> 0:01:16.250
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the Sunday shows, doesn't matter which one,

0:01:16.730 --> 0:01:20.070
<v Speaker 2>where the female host had on the current attorney general,

0:01:20.090 --> 0:01:22.380
<v Speaker 2>and they were talking about this extra Dan Sullivan running

0:01:22.420 --> 0:01:26.380
<v Speaker 2>Alaska thing. And the attorney general kept talking about... I

0:01:26.380 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>love the term extra Dan Sullivan. You know, in case

0:01:28.860 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you need one, in case the first one breaks down.

0:01:31.700 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Runs out of battery or something. Yeah.

0:01:34.140 --> 0:01:34.260
<v Speaker 1>And.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.700
<v Speaker 2>The attorney general kept talking about, like, is this clearly

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>a dirty trick? And the person should drop out or

0:01:42.060 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats should condemn it or whatever. And the host,

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think it was Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation,

0:01:47.540 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>kept saying, look, there is no evidence that this is

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.260
<v Speaker 2>not just a coincidence. I mean, she was just sticking

0:01:52.340 --> 0:01:54.780
<v Speaker 2>with the, this is not a dirty trick. There's no

0:01:54.890 --> 0:01:59.030
<v Speaker 2>proof that this is a dirty trick. Give me a break. Wow,

0:01:59.230 --> 0:02:03.530
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the most stark examples of willful blindness

0:02:03.610 --> 0:02:07.890
<v Speaker 2>I've ever heard. Oh, that's hilarious. Hilarious. No court has

0:02:07.990 --> 0:02:13.190
<v Speaker 2>ruled that this is illegal or on purpose. Are you

0:02:13.310 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>kidding me? Wow, she is such a nasty woman. You're

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>assuming an intent to confuse voters with another guy with

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same name. I almost used an unfortunate term

0:02:26.780 --> 0:02:28.829
<v Speaker 2>for females. I'm glad I didn't. Yes, back to you.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>It's just funny. Oh, yeah. And I agree with Brit Hume.

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.899
<v Speaker 2>In a different era, a lot of these contests were

0:02:35.940 --> 0:02:40.110
<v Speaker 2>talking about the U.S. effing Senate. We're not talking about

0:02:40.150 --> 0:02:43.149
<v Speaker 2>the House. All kinds of weirdos get elected a House member.

0:02:43.590 --> 0:02:45.450
<v Speaker 2>And who cares? They're gone in two years. You forget

0:02:45.490 --> 0:02:48.330
<v Speaker 2>their names. Being a U.S. Senator is a big deal.

0:02:48.930 --> 0:02:53.839
<v Speaker 2>Six years, and there's only 100 of them. And and

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>this is one of the races to help decide the power. So, yeah,

0:02:58.980 --> 0:03:05.150
<v Speaker 2>what a crazy one there. The other. Many interesting things.

0:03:06.780 --> 0:03:10.310
<v Speaker 2>stories unfolding uh a week from today we have the

0:03:10.389 --> 0:03:13.030
<v Speaker 2>dang midterm election thank god that'll be over and as

0:03:13.090 --> 0:03:15.490
<v Speaker 2>everybody has pointed out starting as soon as the polls

0:03:15.550 --> 0:03:19.890
<v Speaker 2>close tuesday night the race is on for uh the

0:03:19.930 --> 0:03:22.290
<v Speaker 2>presidential election for 2028 because that's the way we do

0:03:22.340 --> 0:03:25.140
<v Speaker 2>politics now and i'm excited about trying to figure out

0:03:25.500 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>are the democrats gonna decide we're all in on socialism

0:03:30.180 --> 0:03:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Or are we going to try, we think there's no

0:03:32.660 --> 0:03:36.700
<v Speaker 2>way we can nominate a socialist candidate to run for president.

0:03:36.740 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll lose 49 states. I think you would, too. I

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 2>hope you would. Or will it be a long and

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.130
<v Speaker 2>bloody battle, an antietam of politics as the two sides

0:03:46.390 --> 0:03:48.310
<v Speaker 2>go at each other? But if you're listening on, I

0:03:48.330 --> 0:03:51.610
<v Speaker 2>guess it was Thursday, had Lonnie Chen on, this idea

0:03:51.630 --> 0:03:54.450
<v Speaker 2>of Gavin Newsom is, you know, got to pick a lane.

0:03:55.310 --> 0:03:56.310
<v Speaker 2>Is he going to pick a lane? Is he going

0:03:56.330 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>to go with, I'm going to be the moderate choice candidate. Um,

0:04:01.740 --> 0:04:04.700
<v Speaker 2>not a crazy AOC sort of candidate. I'm going to

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.500
<v Speaker 2>get the nomination, and I'm going to get elected president

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, or is an AOC type going

0:04:08.300 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to win? Well, so I haven't heard this. This is

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Newsom weighing in on where things are with the whole battle,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>internal battle in the Democratic Party. Who's in charge, DSA

0:04:17.250 --> 0:04:17.490
<v Speaker 2>or who?

0:04:17.500 --> 0:04:20.470
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering, because I'm a younger voter, and a

0:04:20.490 --> 0:04:22.990
<v Speaker 1>lot of us, like, we want to see the Democratic

0:04:23.029 --> 0:04:23.969
<v Speaker 1>Party move forward.

0:04:23.990 --> 0:04:26.550
<v Speaker 2>You know, we don't want more Kamala Harris. We want,

0:04:26.570 --> 0:04:27.489
<v Speaker 2>you know, more.

0:04:27.529 --> 0:04:29.540
<v Speaker 1>I guess, Democratic socialist policies.

0:04:29.570 --> 0:04:32.060
<v Speaker 2>Like, where do you see, I guess, the Democratic Party going?

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.140
<v Speaker 4>I think it's... No one is arguing to manage the

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 4>status quo and fail more efficiently. So I think that

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.790
<v Speaker 4>the DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for

0:04:45.870 --> 0:04:48.850
<v Speaker 4>bold change, non-incremental change, is very much.

0:04:48.630 --> 0:04:51.250
<v Speaker 1>Going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to.

0:04:51.150 --> 0:04:52.770
<v Speaker 4>Be a mainstream democratic movement.

0:04:52.930 --> 0:04:53.710
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:04:53.850 --> 0:04:54.870
<v Speaker 4>No question in my mind.

0:04:54.910 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>You can't play in the margins anymore. Wow, that's so interesting,

0:05:10.540 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>especially because one of the emails that we didn't get

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.419
<v Speaker 2>to finish was talking about how a lot of the

0:05:15.460 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>chaos that's going on right now was deliberate in order

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 2>to break the system, because if you can claim that

0:05:20.620 --> 0:05:23.830
<v Speaker 2>as Gavin Newsom just did, look, the system is broken.

0:05:24.170 --> 0:05:27.570
<v Speaker 2>The time for incremental change, managing the decline, that's over.

0:05:27.630 --> 0:05:30.650
<v Speaker 2>You need wholesale change. That is straight out of the

0:05:30.730 --> 0:05:33.540
<v Speaker 2>Marxist playbook. Is that what he believes? Is that how

0:05:33.580 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>he's going to run? Or is he just telling that

0:05:35.660 --> 0:05:38.900
<v Speaker 2>one person who asked him the question in a loud

0:05:38.980 --> 0:05:44.690
<v Speaker 2>hall that to make the young person happy? I'm going

0:05:44.710 --> 0:05:48.589
<v Speaker 2>to answer this very sincerely because I have bashed Gavi

0:05:48.650 --> 0:05:51.310
<v Speaker 2>for various reasons through the years. He doesn't like me.

0:05:51.370 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. I have no idea what he believes. I

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he believes anything. Oh, I don't think

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.020
<v Speaker 2>in terms of politics he does believe anything. I think

0:06:03.060 --> 0:06:06.130
<v Speaker 2>he believes I'm going to craft whichever message will get

0:06:06.150 --> 0:06:08.150
<v Speaker 2>me elected to the next highest office. I think he's

0:06:08.170 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 2>definitely one of those people. I doubt that he's all

0:06:12.779 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>in on the socialism. I think if he goes that direction,

0:06:16.620 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 2>it will be in a cynical way. It'll be, well,

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.180
<v Speaker 2>this is the moment we're in, so this is what

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.990
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do. But I don't think he believes

0:06:26.060 --> 0:06:29.029
<v Speaker 2>that that's the way to go. There's no way he can,

0:06:29.410 --> 0:06:31.870
<v Speaker 2>as a guy who's run a business, think that that

0:06:32.010 --> 0:06:35.669
<v Speaker 2>makes any sense. No, no, but he's in a different

0:06:35.710 --> 0:06:39.230
<v Speaker 2>business now with different incentives and disadvantages. So Gavin's greatest

0:06:39.270 --> 0:06:43.070
<v Speaker 2>strength is that he's very bright. His greatest weakness is

0:06:43.089 --> 0:06:45.030
<v Speaker 2>that he's not quite as bright as he thinks he is.

0:06:45.550 --> 0:06:48.310
<v Speaker 2>And so what he is going to do, and you

0:06:48.370 --> 0:06:51.350
<v Speaker 2>heard it there, is he is going to call for

0:06:51.690 --> 0:06:56.300
<v Speaker 2>no more incremental managing the decline, no more yesterday's Democratic Party.

0:06:56.580 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>It's time for big change, wholesale change, changing the system

0:07:00.540 --> 0:07:03.500
<v Speaker 2>because the system's broke. But he's going to keep it

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.830
<v Speaker 2>pretty vague. He's going to... You know, it's the classic politics.

0:07:07.890 --> 0:07:10.230
<v Speaker 2>Hope and change. He's going to go with hope and change.

0:07:10.250 --> 0:07:13.450
<v Speaker 2>In fact, he probably... has a team of people working on,

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.340
<v Speaker 2>all right, we need something that short, that punchy, and

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.940
<v Speaker 2>that appealing, and that vague. Bring it to me by

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the close of business Friday. Well, I think he's going

0:07:21.380 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 2>to be on a debate stage, and I don't know when.

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.570
<v Speaker 2>He'll probably just go with change and hope. This summer?

0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:30.530
<v Speaker 2>Next summer? When did the debate start? I don't even know.

0:07:30.610 --> 0:07:33.390
<v Speaker 2>Any minute now. He's going to stand there, and somebody's

0:07:33.410 --> 0:07:35.790
<v Speaker 2>going to ask the question with the 15 candidates up there,

0:07:36.190 --> 0:07:42.180
<v Speaker 2>ranging from AOC to Gavin to whoever else. Raise your

0:07:42.220 --> 0:07:44.980
<v Speaker 2>hand if you're in favor of cradle-to-grave health care. Raise

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.860
<v Speaker 2>your hand if you're for abolishing the prisons. I mean,

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.670
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be some pretty serious questions. They've got

0:07:52.690 --> 0:07:54.190
<v Speaker 2>to pick a lane. I mean, you're not going to

0:07:54.210 --> 0:07:56.930
<v Speaker 2>be able to be wishy-washy on those, I don't think. Yeah,

0:07:56.950 --> 0:07:59.070
<v Speaker 2>depending on the moderators, of course. And then that's hung

0:07:59.110 --> 0:08:06.380
<v Speaker 2>around your neck, as Kamala Harris found. You got to, yeah.

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. If I was a cynical person who

0:08:09.700 --> 0:08:12.330
<v Speaker 2>only wanted to get the nomination, I don't know what

0:08:12.390 --> 0:08:15.490
<v Speaker 2>I would do. If I care about the country and humanity,

0:08:16.890 --> 0:08:19.170
<v Speaker 2>I'd run away from socialism and try to convince people

0:08:19.230 --> 0:08:21.490
<v Speaker 2>why it doesn't work. I was listening to Bill Maher's

0:08:21.570 --> 0:08:26.660
<v Speaker 2>Down in the Basement pot-smoking podcast he had on Justine Bateman.

0:08:26.900 --> 0:08:29.180
<v Speaker 2>So it's interesting, if you've ever followed her on Twitter, man,

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.900
<v Speaker 2>she is an outspoken hater of the left. She was

0:08:32.940 --> 0:08:35.460
<v Speaker 2>my first crush, so it's really interesting to watch her

0:08:36.670 --> 0:08:40.590
<v Speaker 2>She was on Family Ties as Michael J. Fox's sister.

0:08:41.630 --> 0:08:44.830
<v Speaker 2>We're almost exactly the same age, so when I was 12,

0:08:44.830 --> 0:08:48.059
<v Speaker 2>she was 12. Watching her on TV, and I just thought,

0:08:48.100 --> 0:08:49.940
<v Speaker 2>oh my God, she is the most amazing woman that

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 2>has ever existed. Girl, at that time. And now she's

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.380
<v Speaker 2>a grown-up and has the same politics as me, which

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I just think is fantastic. But she and Bill Maher...

0:08:59.110 --> 0:09:01.990
<v Speaker 2>Reach out. You're famous, she's famous. Come on. She and

0:09:02.030 --> 0:09:05.450
<v Speaker 2>Bill Maher were just going on about how insane the

0:09:05.490 --> 0:09:07.950
<v Speaker 2>DSA website is. Bill Maher is just like, this is

0:09:08.050 --> 0:09:11.370
<v Speaker 2>cuckoo nuts. How can these people believe that abolish the prisons,

0:09:11.870 --> 0:09:15.220
<v Speaker 2>free housing? This is cuckoo land. How are there people

0:09:15.260 --> 0:09:20.740
<v Speaker 2>that believe this? Even Bill Maher thinks that. Yeah, clearly.

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I think what those of us on the right have

0:09:23.179 --> 0:09:26.500
<v Speaker 2>to accept, and I don't know what to do about it,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.069
<v Speaker 2>but acceptance is the first step. We need to accept

0:09:30.390 --> 0:09:33.890
<v Speaker 2>that people like that, especially young people who have not

0:09:33.929 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>really forged an identity yet, they haven't forged a worldview yet,

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.620
<v Speaker 2>we've got to somehow accept that people who see the

0:09:41.660 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>world through the lens of acceptability, as opposed to truth, logic,

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.949
<v Speaker 2>and consequences, all they know is, do I get social

0:09:50.990 --> 0:09:56.059
<v Speaker 2>approval for saying this, for saying I believe it? A

0:09:56.140 --> 0:10:01.179
<v Speaker 2>person like me can't even conceive I mean, I can

0:10:01.250 --> 0:10:03.630
<v Speaker 2>conceive of it around the edges. If I say something

0:10:03.690 --> 0:10:05.490
<v Speaker 2>funny among a group of guys and they all laugh,

0:10:05.530 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 2>that feels good. to not even really spend any time

0:10:10.860 --> 0:10:13.220
<v Speaker 2>thinking about what are the downsides of this policy I'm

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 2>offering up. Have I heard the Israel side of this

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.229
<v Speaker 2>dispute or anything? All you care about is getting social acceptance.

0:10:20.510 --> 0:10:22.829
<v Speaker 2>It's difficult for us to see the world through their

0:10:22.990 --> 0:10:25.869
<v Speaker 2>eyes and to figure out how to reach them. I

0:10:25.890 --> 0:10:27.850
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it can be done. It probably can

0:10:27.870 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>be done. Maybe a good slapping. I don't know. But

0:10:32.380 --> 0:10:35.460
<v Speaker 2>that's the great divide and brings us back, as always,

0:10:35.500 --> 0:10:40.500
<v Speaker 2>to Thomas Sowell's conflict of visions. Um, well, they just

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>don't ask the same questions we do this DSA stuff.

0:10:43.620 --> 0:10:45.619
<v Speaker 2>So my son last night, we, I don't know how

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.110
<v Speaker 2>he got on this topic, but my, uh, junior in

0:10:48.140 --> 0:10:52.050
<v Speaker 2>high school said, there's amazing how many kids in my

0:10:52.410 --> 0:10:57.350
<v Speaker 2>class think socialism is an awesome idea. And I thought, wow.

0:10:57.410 --> 0:11:00.170
<v Speaker 2>So they haven't grown up with the lectures I've given

0:11:00.350 --> 0:11:02.689
<v Speaker 2>my kids. Cause my kids both like roll their eyes

0:11:02.730 --> 0:11:05.910
<v Speaker 2>at the, the word and, because i've been telling them

0:11:05.929 --> 0:11:07.990
<v Speaker 2>since they were little kids how it doesn't work the

0:11:08.030 --> 0:11:10.119
<v Speaker 2>same way my dad told me i remember explaining it

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.300
<v Speaker 2>to me as a little kid well well if everybody

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.460
<v Speaker 2>better get stuff the same amount and for nothing then

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 2>nobody would work so then you'd have no money oh

0:11:17.420 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 2>okay that makes sense and that was the end of

0:11:18.990 --> 0:11:20.709
<v Speaker 2>it for me that was the end of the discussion

0:11:20.750 --> 0:11:22.770
<v Speaker 2>i've never needed to think about it again because that's

0:11:22.830 --> 0:11:26.370
<v Speaker 2>a hundred percent true that is the whole flaw right

0:11:26.429 --> 0:11:31.069
<v Speaker 2>there it doesn't work Right. There's no complex. You don't

0:11:31.090 --> 0:11:35.010
<v Speaker 2>need to write a thousand-page book, Das Kapital or anything

0:11:35.030 --> 0:11:36.959
<v Speaker 2>like that. It just doesn't work. You run out of

0:11:37.010 --> 0:11:42.500
<v Speaker 2>money very quickly. But his friends have never heard that,

0:11:42.780 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess. And then their parents don't understand. Well, you're

0:11:47.020 --> 0:11:51.570
<v Speaker 2>watching it in France. Yeah, I know. I know. It

0:11:51.670 --> 0:11:55.790
<v Speaker 2>is a stark, it's literally on fire, and there are

0:11:55.830 --> 0:11:59.730
<v Speaker 2>videos of it, what happens with socialism, and people don't

0:11:59.830 --> 0:12:04.950
<v Speaker 2>connect those things, which, I mean, it's incredibly frustrating. It's

0:12:05.070 --> 0:12:10.540
<v Speaker 2>why politics is so stupid, because if that giant intellectual

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 2>leap can't be made by people, how do you design

0:12:14.780 --> 0:12:18.980
<v Speaker 2>your political messaging? I mean, it's incredibly frustrating. I know

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 2>there are millions of people in my fantasies, hundreds of

0:12:23.100 --> 0:12:27.479
<v Speaker 2>thousands anyway, listening, who are thinking, I'm frustrated too. It

0:12:27.500 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 2>makes me insane. But by golly, that's the challenge we have.

0:12:32.059 --> 0:12:35.260
<v Speaker 2>We've got to communicate. And maybe it's as simple as this.

0:12:35.500 --> 0:12:39.429
<v Speaker 2>When somebody proposes this crap, young or old, say that's

0:12:39.610 --> 0:12:45.130
<v Speaker 2>completely impractical or that's insane, it would never work. Why not? Well, because,

0:12:45.270 --> 0:12:50.890
<v Speaker 2>and then give them 30 seconds. Well, there are– opening

0:12:50.950 --> 0:12:53.690
<v Speaker 2>up the prisons. Well, there are some people who are

0:12:53.730 --> 0:12:56.270
<v Speaker 2>just greedy and want other people's stuff. No, they only

0:12:56.340 --> 0:12:59.179
<v Speaker 2>steal because of capitalism, blah, blah, blah. But see, that's

0:12:59.220 --> 0:13:01.699
<v Speaker 2>the problem. We're not fighting common sense with common sense.

0:13:01.740 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 2>We're fighting common sense against indoctrination. And you have to

0:13:07.450 --> 0:13:09.790
<v Speaker 2>be a little more versed in the arguments than I

0:13:09.830 --> 0:13:12.710
<v Speaker 2>was suggesting you do. I retract my comments. It's hard.

0:13:13.770 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>The pitch, though, is so good. Free health care, free housing.

0:13:18.860 --> 0:13:21.140
<v Speaker 2>Then you don't have to worry about where you live. Oh, awesome.

0:13:21.980 --> 0:13:23.340
<v Speaker 2>You're about to come out of high school and you're

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.559
<v Speaker 2>wondering how you're going to make a living and you

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.980
<v Speaker 2>hear about AI. You're hearing free housing, free health care.

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.100
<v Speaker 5>Cool.

0:13:30.700 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:13:31.110 --> 0:13:31.250
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:31.470 --> 0:13:35.590
<v Speaker 2>It's an effective con for sure. Free needs to be

0:13:35.770 --> 0:13:39.449
<v Speaker 2>banished from the English language. Wow, that's a bit of

0:13:39.470 --> 0:13:43.650
<v Speaker 2>an extreme move, but we'll consider that. Plus, the term Islamophobia.

0:13:43.910 --> 0:13:46.089
<v Speaker 2>Why you should never permit it to be used in

0:13:46.370 --> 0:13:48.530
<v Speaker 2>your presence. And when speaking of words, I got a

0:13:48.570 --> 0:13:52.059
<v Speaker 2>big scrabble question. Major scrabble question. I want to get

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>to people washing people's feet back in biblical times.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:56.580
<v Speaker 3>What the hell?

0:13:56.620 --> 0:13:59.180
<v Speaker 2>I did some research on this. Ripped from today's headlines.

0:13:59.260 --> 0:14:02.250
<v Speaker 2>I could not have lived back in those times. Oh,

0:14:02.260 --> 0:14:06.010
<v Speaker 2>my God. Because I ain't washing your feet. So you,

0:14:06.090 --> 0:14:08.010
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're not that down to earth, but you're down

0:14:08.030 --> 0:14:10.770
<v Speaker 2>to earth person. You're, you're hardworking. You're an entrepreneur. You're

0:14:10.790 --> 0:14:12.870
<v Speaker 2>a farmer. You've been busting your ass. You've saved some

0:14:12.910 --> 0:14:14.710
<v Speaker 2>money and you want to do some financial planning, but

0:14:14.730 --> 0:14:16.589
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of the financial planning world, the world

0:14:16.630 --> 0:14:19.750
<v Speaker 2>that strikes you as a little highfalutin and pretentious and

0:14:19.770 --> 0:14:20.930
<v Speaker 2>the rest of it gets to know our friends at

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.710

<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. Does whether or not you get Alzheimer's

0:15:16.230 --> 0:15:17.850
<v Speaker 2>have anything to do with the shape of your head?

0:15:17.870 --> 0:15:20.570
<v Speaker 2>Some new science on that. That'd be interesting. Well, I

0:15:20.590 --> 0:15:23.270
<v Speaker 2>hope having a giant head is a good thing. Oh,

0:15:23.290 --> 0:15:26.170
<v Speaker 2>I have lots to get to today. So, um... I

0:15:26.210 --> 0:15:28.730
<v Speaker 2>don't remember how I got started on this recently. It

0:15:28.750 --> 0:15:33.470
<v Speaker 2>was probably some biblical verse about Jesus washing people's feet. And,

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've been hearing that since I was a

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>little kid, sitting in church and foot washing came up

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 2>all the time. And so I did some research on that.

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:48.420
<v Speaker 2>And people almost exclusively wore sandals thousands of years ago

0:15:48.780 --> 0:15:55.290
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East. They were hippies. But so it

0:15:55.390 --> 0:15:57.670
<v Speaker 2>was a thing. If you went to somebody's house, it

0:15:57.710 --> 0:16:02.590
<v Speaker 2>was considered good hospitality. You'd welcome them into your house,

0:16:02.630 --> 0:16:04.150
<v Speaker 2>and then you'd go over and you'd kneel down and

0:16:04.190 --> 0:16:07.530
<v Speaker 2>wash their feet. Everybody did that at your house. And

0:16:07.570 --> 0:16:10.730
<v Speaker 2>I just, man, I don't have anybody come over to

0:16:10.770 --> 0:16:13.690
<v Speaker 2>my house now. But if I had to wash your feet,

0:16:13.750 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you'd really be off the table. I am not washing

0:16:15.910 --> 0:16:16.500
<v Speaker 2>somebody's feet.

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:17.620
<v Speaker 3>No!

0:16:17.820 --> 0:16:20.390
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine how gnarly people's feet were back then?

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>You're making God sad with this talk. You're not willing

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.620
<v Speaker 2>to serve others. That's the point. It's the ultimate act

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>of service. I'm fine with it as a metaphor. No, no, no, no, no.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.010
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not getting down on my knees and washing

0:16:33.050 --> 0:16:37.070
<v Speaker 2>your freaking feet. Metaphors don't feed the bulldog. We're talking

0:16:37.090 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>about actually doing the thing. Ew. You've made God sad.

0:16:42.850 --> 0:16:47.170
<v Speaker 2>big old bunion. Oh, what? But I was just trying

0:16:47.190 --> 0:16:50.370
<v Speaker 2>to imagine what feet must have been like when all

0:16:50.390 --> 0:16:55.010
<v Speaker 2>you had was whatever crappy hand-hewn sandals they had. Sure.

0:16:55.050 --> 0:16:57.670
<v Speaker 2>That's all you ever had walking around with little to

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:02.180
<v Speaker 2>no bathing. It's very sandy. The toenails had to be horrendous.

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>There were not clippers. There were not pumice stones. There

0:17:05.020 --> 0:17:07.220
<v Speaker 2>were not... Well, wait a minute. A pumice stone is

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 2>a stone. Literally, the Stone Age had stones, so I'm

0:17:10.859 --> 0:17:14.890
<v Speaker 2>going to stop you there. An aggressive scent. You think

0:17:14.930 --> 0:17:17.210
<v Speaker 2>people were making sure their heels were not too rough?

0:17:18.650 --> 0:17:21.490
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. So, Michael, there would not be an

0:17:21.530 --> 0:17:25.580
<v Speaker 2>aggressive scent because you're wearing open shoes. Yeah, I don't

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.620
<v Speaker 2>know about it. I don't know its smell, but you'd

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.060
<v Speaker 2>be so horrifically dirty. And then it's not like I

0:17:31.100 --> 0:17:32.899
<v Speaker 2>can put on rubber gloves or anything. I had a

0:17:32.980 --> 0:17:37.129
<v Speaker 2>touch of, oh, God, just disgusting. You'd have made a

0:17:37.270 --> 0:17:40.930
<v Speaker 2>bad Samaritan. Stoney. You've heard of the good Samaritan? Here's

0:17:40.970 --> 0:17:44.119
<v Speaker 2>the bad Samaritan. You had to kick the guy and

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 2>kept walking. Or at least the not-so-hot Samaritan. God, I'm

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.010
<v Speaker 2>glad that that went. The mediocre Samaritan. I'm glad that's

0:17:51.070 --> 0:17:53.930
<v Speaker 2>in the past, that whole thing. I say we bring

0:17:54.010 --> 0:17:55.770
<v Speaker 2>it back just to annoy you. Have some guys come

0:17:55.810 --> 0:17:57.649
<v Speaker 2>over to watch a football game, and the first thing

0:17:57.690 --> 0:17:59.109
<v Speaker 2>I got to do is they take off their socks

0:17:59.170 --> 0:18:00.740
<v Speaker 2>and shoes. I got to get down on the floor

0:18:00.780 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and clean their feet.

0:18:02.020 --> 0:18:04.100
<v Speaker 3>Let's get this over with so we can get on

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 3>to the charcuterie.

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.980
<v Speaker 2>Oh, boy. Never permit the word Islamophobia to be used

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 2>around you. Why? Plus an update on old Abdul Al-Sayed.

0:18:16.500 --> 0:18:19.220
<v Speaker 2>Coming up. Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:20.660 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim.

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:30.050
<v Speaker 2>Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator. And that's

0:18:30.190 --> 0:18:38.710
<v Speaker 2>the fact. I'm not going to let that happen. And

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.419
<v Speaker 2>is Trump referring to Abdul Al-Sayed in some fairly broad terms?

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.739
<v Speaker 2>That's a heck of a thing to just call him

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a Muslim Brotherhood member. And a jihadist. I don't think

0:18:49.859 --> 0:18:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it's inaccurate. It's a little broad, but that's a little sledgehammery,

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.420
<v Speaker 2>but that's Trump for you. The awful, insufferable Kristen Welker

0:18:57.619 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 2>asked Mike Rogers, Al Sayed's opponent, about that sort of

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.340
<v Speaker 2>thing on Meet the Press the other day.

0:19:05.100 --> 0:19:07.740
<v Speaker 6>Let me ask you about your words and the words

0:19:07.900 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 6>of President Trump. President Trump says your opponent is a

0:19:11.100 --> 0:19:12.260
<v Speaker 6>violent terrorist.

0:19:12.340 --> 0:19:15.570
<v Speaker 2>Violent. Again, there's just no proof of that.

0:19:15.690 --> 0:19:18.550
<v Speaker 6>And he has denounced, he was asked directly if he

0:19:18.590 --> 0:19:19.850
<v Speaker 6>denounces the Muslim Brotherhood.

0:19:20.190 --> 0:19:20.590
<v Speaker 2>He has.

0:19:20.630 --> 0:19:22.929
<v Speaker 6>Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist?

0:19:22.970 --> 0:19:23.689
<v Speaker 2>That's not true. Hold on.

0:19:23.869 --> 0:19:25.850
<v Speaker 6>Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist?

0:19:25.869 --> 0:19:27.170
<v Speaker 2>You know what he did? He said, the guy said,

0:19:27.270 --> 0:19:30.100
<v Speaker 2>are you going to answer the question? Hold on. Will

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 2>you disavow? And he said, yeah, absolutely.

0:19:31.980 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 5>I'll answer the question.

0:19:32.580 --> 0:19:33.859
<v Speaker 2>Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist? He

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>never answered the question.

0:19:34.859 --> 0:19:36.360
<v Speaker 6>Is that up to your standard?

0:19:36.460 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't.

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.460
<v Speaker 2>I've never called him a terrorist. Here's my question. Does

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Kristen Welker know how biased she is and embrace it,

0:19:44.930 --> 0:19:47.190
<v Speaker 2>or does she not get it? I don't think they

0:19:47.210 --> 0:19:49.929
<v Speaker 2>get it in any of those shows. I don't think they.

0:19:50.300 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I wish somebody would show them back-to-back the way they

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.640
<v Speaker 2>interview a Republican and the way they interview a Democrat.

0:19:56.020 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 2>On a Democrat, they bring up their talking point and

0:19:58.700 --> 0:20:03.020
<v Speaker 2>let them expound. On Republicans, it is a, well, if

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.459
<v Speaker 2>you did it the same way for both of them,

0:20:04.500 --> 0:20:06.500
<v Speaker 2>it would be fine. You push them on every issue

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 2>and make them explain things, but They only do it

0:20:08.700 --> 0:20:14.659
<v Speaker 2>for one side. Yeah, the whole, I've, is denounce the

0:20:14.700 --> 0:20:17.900
<v Speaker 2>word they always use? I think so. I've denounced them

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.350
<v Speaker 2>over and over again. Okay, where's the video of that?

0:20:21.369 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen the video where you actually do that.

0:20:25.290 --> 0:20:28.350
<v Speaker 2>Do you denounce them? Well, yes, but yeah, no, that's

0:20:28.369 --> 0:20:31.870
<v Speaker 2>not a denouncing. Explain the change in your thinking from

0:20:31.930 --> 0:20:35.340
<v Speaker 2>when you signed that letter in 2012 to now. Explain

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:39.150
<v Speaker 2>exactly what you believe, what you don't believe. You've said

0:20:39.190 --> 0:20:42.450
<v Speaker 2>you condemn Hamas. I think he said that. In what way?

0:20:42.490 --> 0:20:45.449
<v Speaker 2>For what things? But he's then excused them over and

0:20:45.510 --> 0:20:47.710
<v Speaker 2>over again. If you pinned him down even a little bit,

0:20:47.730 --> 0:20:50.470
<v Speaker 2>he would not be able to answer. As I mentioned

0:20:50.530 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>last week, in case you don't know this history, there

0:20:55.340 --> 0:20:58.980
<v Speaker 2>are two great examples of how you separate yourself from

0:20:59.020 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 2>a group that you're associated with, you think that is

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.290
<v Speaker 2>damaging you, the way John F. Kennedy gave a major

0:21:04.350 --> 0:21:07.709
<v Speaker 2>speech about his Catholic faith when he was running for

0:21:07.750 --> 0:21:09.129
<v Speaker 2>president back in, I don't know if it was 59

0:21:09.130 --> 0:21:13.310
<v Speaker 2>or 60. But during that election campaign, and Barack Obama

0:21:13.330 --> 0:21:15.409
<v Speaker 2>doing the same thing about the Reverend Wright and the

0:21:15.470 --> 0:21:19.230
<v Speaker 2>church that he attended. He gave an entire speech dedicated

0:21:19.290 --> 0:21:22.390
<v Speaker 2>to that topic alone to try to put that to rest.

0:21:22.710 --> 0:21:25.909
<v Speaker 2>Not a single yes, but. Right. El Sayed has not

0:21:25.950 --> 0:21:31.060
<v Speaker 2>done that at all. So the Atlantic headline, the insufferable

0:21:31.300 --> 0:21:36.910
<v Speaker 2>The Atlantic, is Islamophobia is Trump's closing midterm gambit. Keeping

0:21:36.950 --> 0:21:40.210
<v Speaker 2>in mind the wise words of the great thinker Andrew Cummins,

0:21:40.390 --> 0:21:44.500
<v Speaker 2>Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 2>cowards to manipulate morons. The idea that you could have

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:55.490
<v Speaker 2>a phobia against the largest political philosophy on earth. There

0:21:55.510 --> 0:21:58.270
<v Speaker 2>are way more fundamentalist Muslims than there are people living

0:21:58.310 --> 0:22:02.930
<v Speaker 2>in democratic societies. I mean, not only is it enormous,

0:22:03.070 --> 0:22:07.330
<v Speaker 2>it's relentlessly expansionist and willing to kill people to do it.

0:22:07.790 --> 0:22:13.030
<v Speaker 2>So resistance to or... desire to limit the growth of

0:22:13.290 --> 0:22:17.570
<v Speaker 2>Islam as a political system, to describe that as Islamophobia

0:22:17.690 --> 0:22:21.630
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely idiotic. Again, it's a word designed by fascists

0:22:21.670 --> 0:22:25.109
<v Speaker 2>and used by cowards to manipulate morons. Don't permit it

0:22:25.170 --> 0:22:29.170
<v Speaker 2>in your life. So, I mean, for instance, Abdul El-Sayed

0:22:29.230 --> 0:22:33.500
<v Speaker 2>just had a big interview and sit down with anti-Israel

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 2>voters in Dearborn. He had a roundtable discussion with a

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 2>local activist named Osama Seblani, who's called Hamas and Hezbollah

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.980
<v Speaker 2>freedom fighters and called for Israeli Jews to be sent

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.750
<v Speaker 2>back to Poland. He sat for the interview in the

0:22:46.790 --> 0:22:50.109
<v Speaker 2>roundtable at the Dearborn offices of Seblani's newspaper, the Arab

0:22:50.150 --> 0:22:53.710
<v Speaker 2>American News. Seblani urged El Sayed to say something right

0:22:53.750 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 2>now to soothe people. in majority Arab Dearborn, who were

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:02.010
<v Speaker 2>mad because Al-Sayed campaigned with Kamala Harris, who was part

0:23:02.030 --> 0:23:07.189
<v Speaker 2>of the evil Biden-Harris administration, remember, that supported Israel in

0:23:07.270 --> 0:23:11.690
<v Speaker 2>fighting back against Hamas after the horrors of October 7th, 23.

0:23:11.690 --> 0:23:14.889
<v Speaker 2>And so the hardcore Muslim fundamentalists in that part of

0:23:14.910 --> 0:23:17.730
<v Speaker 2>the world are really, really mad that Al-Sayed would appear

0:23:17.780 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 2>with Kamala Harris. Al-Sayed, of course, supported the uncommitted movement

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.380
<v Speaker 2>in Michigan 24, blah, blah, blah. There's no perfect candidate,

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Al-Sayed responded, pledging to keep taxpayer funds in Michigan, quote,

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.460
<v Speaker 2>rather than send it abroad to kill or maim people

0:23:33.510 --> 0:23:35.389
<v Speaker 2>who might be related to you in the south of

0:23:35.470 --> 0:23:39.850
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon or in Gaza or in the West Bank. With

0:23:40.190 --> 0:23:42.970
<v Speaker 2>very few exceptions, the only people being killed in south

0:23:43.010 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon are Hezbollah members, Hezbollah fighters. And the answer may

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 2>appeal to dearborn voters, but El-Sayed's association with Sablani is

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.350
<v Speaker 2>likely to alienate more persuadable voters like Jews and Democrats.

0:23:56.390 --> 0:23:59.710
<v Speaker 2>I'm quoting from The Free Beacon now. Sablani's brother Ghassan

0:23:59.750 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 2>was a security chief for Lebanon's Hezbollah-aligned Amal party in

0:24:04.260 --> 0:24:07.859
<v Speaker 2>the 80s. He's called many terrorist groups freedom fighters in

0:24:07.900 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 2>interviews over the year. At a rally in Dearborn last year,

0:24:11.340 --> 0:24:16.389
<v Speaker 2>Sablani praised Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a hero and

0:24:16.450 --> 0:24:21.630
<v Speaker 2>urged that Israeli Jews be sent back to Poland. That's

0:24:21.650 --> 0:24:25.190
<v Speaker 2>not Islamophobia. That's concern about his adherence to a particular

0:24:25.250 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 2>political philosophy. Moving along, as if there wasn't enough... Here's

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:37.439
<v Speaker 2>a commercial Al Syed is running in Michigan in the

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>closing days of the campaign. Yeah, I got them too.

0:24:41.460 --> 0:24:42.379
<v Speaker 3>But honey.

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.770
<v Speaker 2>What? You're going to have to put those eggs back.

0:24:46.090 --> 0:24:46.990
<v Speaker 2>They don't like eggs anymore?

0:24:47.510 --> 0:24:48.890
<v Speaker 5>No, they like eggs.

0:24:49.450 --> 0:24:53.530
<v Speaker 6>But we have to set that $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians.

0:24:54.510 --> 0:24:54.710
<v Speaker 5>What?

0:24:55.190 --> 0:24:57.810
<v Speaker 2>I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways? Yeah,

0:24:58.109 --> 0:24:59.890
<v Speaker 2>and now we're giving them another $ 26 billion.

0:25:02.380 --> 0:25:04.540
<v Speaker 6>Do you know how much that is per American taxpayer?

0:25:05.609 --> 0:25:06.880
<v Speaker 2>No. It's like $ 161 per person.

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.590
<v Speaker 6>Apparently it's costing us a lot of money to drop

0:25:10.630 --> 0:25:11.530
<v Speaker 6>bombs on Gaza.

0:25:12.210 --> 0:25:13.070
<v Speaker 2>That's terrible.

0:25:13.990 --> 0:25:14.290
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:25:15.530 --> 0:25:16.870
<v Speaker 2>Don't they get universal health care, too?

0:25:16.890 --> 0:25:18.310
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they do.

0:25:19.710 --> 0:25:21.030
<v Speaker 6>Paying for that, too, probably.

0:25:21.250 --> 0:25:22.790
<v Speaker 2>Might as well put the bananas back.

0:25:23.170 --> 0:25:24.270
<v Speaker 5>Why the f * * * do we have to

0:25:24.310 --> 0:25:25.090
<v Speaker 5>pay for all this?

0:25:27.210 --> 0:25:30.900
<v Speaker 2>Don't cuss at me. Why does Mike Rogers care so

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:33.689
<v Speaker 2>much about what Israelis want? and so little about what

0:25:33.810 --> 0:25:40.190
<v Speaker 2>you want. Mike Rogers is for... they, them. Abdul El-Sayed

0:25:40.430 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 2>is for you. So, as this commentator puts it, painting

0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:50.220
<v Speaker 2>your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this Al-Sayed

0:25:50.260 --> 0:25:53.510
<v Speaker 2>ad does... and his crazed baby killers and money-grubbing villains

0:25:53.530 --> 0:25:55.530
<v Speaker 2>who are on the root cause of every bad thing,

0:25:55.850 --> 0:25:58.010
<v Speaker 2>not just in the world, but in your life, from

0:25:58.090 --> 0:26:00.609
<v Speaker 2>wars to the price of eggs to the reason you

0:26:00.670 --> 0:26:04.370
<v Speaker 2>can't have free health care, is not just low-grade Jew hate.

0:26:04.730 --> 0:26:09.670
<v Speaker 2>It's pure Third Reich stuff translated directly from the original German.

0:26:10.580 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I've read Mein Kampf. He's right. That's a heck of

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.460
<v Speaker 2>a jump. So it's bad enough to talk about how

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:22.060
<v Speaker 2>we're financing a genocide, which is inaccurate. But the reason

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.580
<v Speaker 2>your eggs are expensive and your gas is expensive is

0:26:24.660 --> 0:26:28.650
<v Speaker 2>the Jews. The reason you don't have cradle-to-grave health care

0:26:28.670 --> 0:26:36.450
<v Speaker 2>is the Jews. Wow. It's pure Nazi-grade Jew hate out

0:26:36.810 --> 0:26:42.300
<v Speaker 2>of Al-Sayed. Why would he do that? Because it appeals

0:26:42.410 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to voters who are fundamentalist Muslims. Period. Boom. Got a

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 2>good text on the whole. I used two examples, JFK

0:26:52.780 --> 0:26:56.939
<v Speaker 2>with his Catholicism, Obama with his ties to that church

0:26:57.020 --> 0:27:01.050
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago and the Reverend Wright. Mitt Romney had to

0:27:01.230 --> 0:27:04.810
<v Speaker 2>promise his Mormonism wouldn't affect his leadership, and was asked

0:27:04.850 --> 0:27:05.770
<v Speaker 2>about it constantly.

0:27:06.090 --> 0:27:07.190
<v Speaker 6>As a Mormon?

0:27:07.970 --> 0:27:12.149
<v Speaker 2>Who's scared of the Mormons? How vanilla compared to the

0:27:12.210 --> 0:27:16.139
<v Speaker 2>Muslim Brotherhood? Right. Or, you know, just how far do

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you go with your.

0:27:19.540 --> 0:27:21.340
<v Speaker 2>Belief in sharia law and all that sort of stuff

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 2>yeah that doesn't come up because that would be that'd

0:27:24.020 --> 0:27:28.620
<v Speaker 2>be islamophobia for christian welker on msnbc to say how

0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:32.850
<v Speaker 2>much will your muslim belief influence your decisions as a

0:27:32.930 --> 0:27:35.109
<v Speaker 2>u.s senator you're not ever going to ask that question

0:27:35.470 --> 0:27:38.910
<v Speaker 2>but if you're a mormon you certainly have to yeah

0:27:39.450 --> 0:27:45.270
<v Speaker 2>yeah a different aside um I was quoting or referencing

0:27:45.330 --> 0:27:47.710
<v Speaker 2>JFK when he ran for president and thinking he's been

0:27:47.810 --> 0:27:49.850
<v Speaker 2>in 59 or 60 and then remembered, no, no, no,

0:27:49.869 --> 0:27:51.629
<v Speaker 2>that's not the way we used to do it. If

0:27:51.650 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you were running for president in 1960, you announced and

0:27:55.800 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>ran in 1960. Presidential elections didn't last that long. It

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.390
<v Speaker 2>was just months that we did that. Our presidential election

0:28:04.470 --> 0:28:08.690
<v Speaker 2>starts a week from tonight. And there's a decent chance

0:28:08.750 --> 0:28:11.550
<v Speaker 2>people are going to be announcing before the first of

0:28:11.590 --> 0:28:14.580
<v Speaker 2>the year, in this year, a full two years ahead

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.500
<v Speaker 2>of time. Right, right. Which is nuts. But that's what

0:28:18.540 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 2>we do now. I wish there were a way for

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:25.020
<v Speaker 2>somebody to covertly get in touch with the money people,

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 2>because that's what it's all about. That's why you announced

0:28:26.740 --> 0:28:29.180
<v Speaker 2>so early. You try to coalesce the great campaign aides

0:28:29.220 --> 0:28:31.379
<v Speaker 2>and the money people around you. I wish there was

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.850
<v Speaker 2>some way that somebody could convince those people, look, I'm

0:28:34.869 --> 0:28:38.230
<v Speaker 2>getting in March of next year. A couple months before

0:28:38.250 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the primaries, here's my message. Here's my crew. And just

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.740
<v Speaker 2>lay in the weeds. And then jump up and beat

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the sh... Whoops. Out of everybody. And win. Because that

0:28:51.660 --> 0:28:55.210
<v Speaker 2>might change things. Because it's insufferable. It really is. Back

0:28:55.290 --> 0:29:01.070
<v Speaker 2>in the famous 2020 presidential election, which started almost in 18,

0:29:01.070 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 2>but just barely in 19. Kamala Harris announced in January

0:29:04.910 --> 0:29:11.060
<v Speaker 2>of 19... So somebody is going to be earlier than

0:29:11.100 --> 0:29:14.530
<v Speaker 2>that this time around. They'll probably go December of this year.

0:29:14.740 --> 0:29:17.410
<v Speaker 2>Somebody was. Was that her famous speech in Oakland that

0:29:17.430 --> 0:29:19.970
<v Speaker 2>was the peak of her campaign? Yes. And then she

0:29:20.090 --> 0:29:24.650
<v Speaker 2>got out of the race in December of 19. She

0:29:24.670 --> 0:29:28.430
<v Speaker 2>didn't even make it to the year 2020. Yeah. Didn't

0:29:28.450 --> 0:29:31.780
<v Speaker 2>make it to the first primary and ended up a heartbeat,

0:29:31.890 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a one-thready heartbeat away from the presidency. Our politics is

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.070
<v Speaker 2>so screwed up. And according to a bunch of polls,

0:29:38.130 --> 0:29:39.590
<v Speaker 2>she is currently the leader.

0:29:39.830 --> 0:29:39.930
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:29:40.140 --> 0:29:41.660
<v Speaker 2>That's a load of crap. I agree.

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 4>I agree.

0:29:43.340 --> 0:29:47.350
<v Speaker 2>What was the thing? Oh, I got an interesting Scrabble

0:29:47.380 --> 0:29:49.330
<v Speaker 2>question for you I want to get to at some point.

0:29:49.770 --> 0:29:53.050
<v Speaker 2>Anybody ever uses the term Islamophobic around you, ask them,

0:29:53.270 --> 0:29:57.830
<v Speaker 2>have you ever used the term Israeli-phobic? How about fascist-phobic?

0:29:58.230 --> 0:30:03.700
<v Speaker 2>How about socialist-phobic? How about Democrat-phobic? Why do you only

0:30:03.980 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 2>cast it as an irrational fear when it comes to Islam,

0:30:07.060 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 2>which is a gigantic political system? It's as if it's

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 2>a strategy. Yeah, Christopher Hitchens gave some great... information on

0:30:15.620 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 2>this way back in the day before anybody was using

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 2>that term. In fact, I saw one the other day

0:30:19.340 --> 0:30:21.700
<v Speaker 2>where he said, get ready for this. You're going to

0:30:21.740 --> 0:30:26.140
<v Speaker 2>start hearing the term Islamophobia. And we need to shoot

0:30:26.180 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that down before it grabs hold or, and it's too late,

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:32.180
<v Speaker 2>because it did grab hold. Can we grab Chris Hitchens

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:33.940
<v Speaker 2>and have that in our holsters? I know we've run

0:30:33.980 --> 0:30:35.780
<v Speaker 2>it before. Maybe later on. We should. Lots of good

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.220
<v Speaker 2>stuff on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 5>Families complained about Nevada's behavior on the field and his

0:30:46.220 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 5>mom's behavior on the sidelines. So what did the youth

0:30:49.380 --> 0:30:52.390
<v Speaker 5>soccer director do? He called 911.

0:30:52.390 --> 0:30:56.370
<v Speaker 2>There's a parent here that's really, really disruptive. Nevada's mom

0:30:56.410 --> 0:30:59.210
<v Speaker 2>tells a different story. They literally kicking him out of

0:30:59.230 --> 0:31:00.990
<v Speaker 2>this way.

0:31:00.230 --> 0:31:03.690
<v Speaker 5>Because he's good at soccer. Nevada's mom told CBS News

0:31:03.730 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 5>the coach told Nevada he could stay in if he

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.460
<v Speaker 5>passed the ball. But about halfway through the game, he

0:31:09.500 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 5>got the cops involved.

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you had this little kid. What the hell? Who

0:31:13.980 --> 0:31:16.820
<v Speaker 2>was dominating the soccer match like my niece used to.

0:31:16.860 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 2>He's three, by the way. And it would make all

0:31:19.060 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the other parents really mad because if you've ever watched

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:24.910
<v Speaker 2>youth sports, there's often, soccer particularly, there's often like a

0:31:25.350 --> 0:31:30.970
<v Speaker 2>kid who one has the... physical ability and talent, and two,

0:31:31.210 --> 0:31:33.510
<v Speaker 2>understands what they're supposed to be doing. That seems to

0:31:33.530 --> 0:31:35.270
<v Speaker 2>be the main thing for little kid sports when I

0:31:35.290 --> 0:31:37.670
<v Speaker 2>was watching it. And has any desire to do that.

0:31:37.930 --> 0:31:38.150
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:31:38.330 --> 0:31:40.430
<v Speaker 2>One, knows what they're supposed to do and gives a

0:31:40.470 --> 0:31:42.270
<v Speaker 2>crap enough to want to do it. And if there

0:31:42.330 --> 0:31:44.030
<v Speaker 2>is one that does that, they can just run up

0:31:44.050 --> 0:31:46.010
<v Speaker 2>and down the field and score. But he was supposed

0:31:46.030 --> 0:31:47.890
<v Speaker 2>to pass the ball and didn't, so somebody called the cops.

0:31:48.510 --> 0:31:50.430
<v Speaker 2>Before we weigh in on that, let's hear the police

0:31:50.470 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 2>and the parents clip and then we'll opine.

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.460
<v Speaker 3>I guess one of the coaches advised that they don't

0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:57.540
<v Speaker 3>want you guys here anymore, okay?

0:31:58.220 --> 0:32:00.380
<v Speaker 2>If you guys don't mind leaving. What is the real

0:32:00.420 --> 0:32:02.220
<v Speaker 2>reason that he called the police?

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.340
<v Speaker 3>So I guess he's just calling because I guess he

0:32:04.380 --> 0:32:06.670
<v Speaker 3>believes that you guys were causing a disturbance that was

0:32:06.710 --> 0:32:07.850
<v Speaker 3>interfering with the gameplay.

0:32:07.870 --> 0:32:10.710
<v Speaker 2>They're mad at my son because he actually plays soccer.

0:32:10.730 --> 0:32:12.510
<v Speaker 1>So I'm a little.

0:32:12.350 --> 0:32:15.810
<v Speaker 2>Confused and I'm a little, like, baffled because I signed

0:32:15.830 --> 0:32:18.430
<v Speaker 2>my kid up for soccer. So they're literally kicking him

0:32:18.550 --> 0:32:20.330
<v Speaker 2>out of this place because.

0:32:20.090 --> 0:32:21.130
<v Speaker 5>He's good at soccer.

0:32:21.380 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know anything about this lady or what she

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:24.920
<v Speaker 2>said or did on the sidelines, but she does not

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:28.300
<v Speaker 2>sound unhinged. She sounds very reasonable. Yes, she does. So

0:32:28.340 --> 0:32:31.180
<v Speaker 2>this kid's three years old, and he's dominating a game

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that's a five-year-old game. And the parents of the child, well,

0:32:38.060 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 2>this is all very vague. He was being scorned for

0:32:42.260 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>playing well and was being taken out of the game.

0:32:44.460 --> 0:32:48.610
<v Speaker 2>How are you even doing anything at three? I saw

0:32:48.630 --> 0:32:51.870
<v Speaker 2>the video. He's really good. Wow. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

0:32:51.930 --> 0:32:58.340
<v Speaker 2>He's just, he's obviously a natural athlete. Yeah. Wow. This

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>is all, we can't govern ourselves anymore, apparently. I don't... It's, well, it's...

0:33:04.500 --> 0:33:06.300
<v Speaker 2>I've watched a lot of youth sports, as you have,

0:33:06.340 --> 0:33:10.660
<v Speaker 2>and you coach and everything like this. It sucks for

0:33:10.780 --> 0:33:12.959
<v Speaker 2>everybody when you have one team that's way better than

0:33:12.980 --> 0:33:15.830
<v Speaker 2>the other or a player that dominates because they're not

0:33:15.850 --> 0:33:19.230
<v Speaker 2>learning anything and then nobody's learning anything. And so I

0:33:19.270 --> 0:33:21.410
<v Speaker 2>get the idea that all the parents were yelling, you know,

0:33:21.450 --> 0:33:23.170
<v Speaker 2>take him out, take him out of the game, let

0:33:23.190 --> 0:33:24.630
<v Speaker 2>the other kids play or whatever.

0:33:24.650 --> 0:33:24.770
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:33:25.490 --> 0:33:28.410
<v Speaker 2>And the mom, too, you know, I can't blame her,

0:33:28.450 --> 0:33:30.030
<v Speaker 2>was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

0:33:30.050 --> 0:33:33.390
<v Speaker 2>Why is everybody yelling at and about my kid just

0:33:33.410 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>because he's good? This is ridiculous. It's unfortunate. Yeah, you

0:33:37.540 --> 0:33:39.100
<v Speaker 2>got to get him into an older group, and maybe

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 2>he has to play with seven-year-olds. I don't know what.

0:33:40.860 --> 0:33:44.540
<v Speaker 2>He's three. I don't remember my kids, like, being able

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:49.980
<v Speaker 2>to do really anything at three. Yeah, that's astonishing. Yeah. Okay,

0:33:50.020 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>different question. Scrabble. So, I have a friend who ruined Scrabble,

0:33:58.500 --> 0:34:03.590
<v Speaker 2>I think. Like, globally, or just for you? For me

0:34:03.750 --> 0:34:06.310
<v Speaker 2>and for my son, because the way they played Scrabble,

0:34:06.910 --> 0:34:10.650
<v Speaker 2>they would use this Scrabble dictionary, and it was just...

0:34:10.170 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you avoid this, but it was just... Yeah, okay,

0:34:16.580 --> 0:34:20.770
<v Speaker 2>and then... they'd memorized all these obscure words with the

0:34:20.850 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 2>complicated letters. No, Q-X-I, what's another valuable letter? Q-X-I-J. Q-X-I-J,

0:34:29.380 --> 0:34:30.980
<v Speaker 2>what kind of word is that? You know, it's from

0:34:31.020 --> 0:34:35.419
<v Speaker 2>a medieval poem in Iran in the 4th century. There

0:34:35.460 --> 0:34:39.259
<v Speaker 2>was a, okay, I guess. I mean, but so if

0:34:39.300 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 2>it becomes that, I didn't find it to be any

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:48.610
<v Speaker 2>fun whatsoever. Because I haven't decided to memorize medical terms,

0:34:49.110 --> 0:34:53.209
<v Speaker 2>endless medical terms, that you would never, ever know unless

0:34:53.230 --> 0:34:56.790
<v Speaker 2>you decided to study the Scrabble dictionary. Well, you are

0:34:56.830 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 2>the five-year-old getting whooped on the field by the three-year-old.

0:35:00.100 --> 0:35:02.819
<v Speaker 2>He takes it much more seriously than you do. You've

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:03.900
<v Speaker 2>got to find somebody else to play with. Well, if

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 2>you're just sitting around playing Scrabble, isn't it within a

0:35:07.020 --> 0:35:12.339
<v Speaker 2>certain range of normal words? No, because if you play

0:35:12.380 --> 0:35:14.770
<v Speaker 2>a lot, you learn. I mean, there's the people who

0:35:14.810 --> 0:35:16.630
<v Speaker 2>are extreme like you're talking about. I don't know all

0:35:16.670 --> 0:35:19.410
<v Speaker 2>those words. Well, nobody knows those words. That's the point.

0:35:19.630 --> 0:35:23.089
<v Speaker 2>Nobody knows those words unless you're just going to memorize

0:35:23.130 --> 0:35:25.879
<v Speaker 2>the most obscure words for Scrabble. But that's how you

0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:28.420
<v Speaker 2>win at Scrabble if you play at a high level.

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.319
<v Speaker 2>That's what the game is. I'm not talking about playing

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 2>at a high level. I'm talking about getting out the

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.479
<v Speaker 2>game on a rainy day when you got five people

0:35:35.500 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 2>sitting around in your place. Scrabble. If somebody is going

0:35:37.580 --> 0:35:41.550
<v Speaker 2>to start throwing up medical terms from the second century,

0:35:41.870 --> 0:35:44.930
<v Speaker 2>then there's no point in anybody else playing. Well, right.

0:35:45.050 --> 0:35:48.259
<v Speaker 2>Don't play with them. Okay, well, what do you want

0:35:48.300 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 2>them to do? Well, I could play this word, but

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 2>it's somewhat obscure, and Jack might not know it. I

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:54.410
<v Speaker 2>don't know. It would hurt his feelings. That's what I'm saying.

0:35:54.430 --> 0:35:57.029
<v Speaker 2>You can't play with it. I don't know what you do.

0:35:58.170 --> 0:36:00.510
<v Speaker 2>I played Scrabble my whole life, and it was fine

0:36:00.790 --> 0:36:03.089
<v Speaker 2>with everybody I ever played with until I ran into

0:36:03.130 --> 0:36:05.549
<v Speaker 2>this guy, and then it's just, there's no point. Just

0:36:05.590 --> 0:36:09.299
<v Speaker 2>play checkers. There you go. Time-honored game. Anyway, I wanted

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 2>to get into this and I didn't even to the

0:36:11.300 --> 0:36:14.500
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous rules for Scrabble. These are official Scrabble rules and

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 2>their inconsistency about cheeses. Cheeses they accept and cheeses they

0:36:19.260 --> 0:36:24.460
<v Speaker 2>do not accept. Completely inconsistent. According to Tim Sandefur. I'll

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 2>rip from today's headlines. Armstrong and Getty.
