The mansion 48 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: was listed as the headquarters of Mark Surrogacy, which had 49 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: arranged many of the children's birth and was managed by 50 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: Sylvia Jang, the woman living there. Jang said said, yes, 51 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: I'm the legal mother of all of the children. Now 52 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: the mother, but she did She's not the birth motter. 53 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: She didn't crank out twenty two kids, all surrogates in 54 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: three years. 55 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: You missed high school biology obviously. 56 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: Anyway, the surrogates who carried some of the children did 57 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: interviews with The Wall Street Journal and said that Jang 58 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: deceived them, saying that she had no kids and she 59 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: was just hoping to have a baby. But they were 60 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: all like separate from each other. You can have three 61 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: sets of sex tuplets that amount of time. Yeah, you're 62 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: still sex tuplets with that's six, right, Yeah, they'd have 63 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: to be septuplets and one set of octuplets to get 64 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: to twenty two. But you're right, I stand corrected. It 65 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: is possible, which reminds me whatever happened to octomom. But 66 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: let's not get distracted back to your skirit. Indeed, anyway, 67 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: the investigation is focusing according to the surrogates who talk 68 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: to federal agents, it's focusing on whether the couple was 69 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: selling babies whose births the agency had arranged. Xang actually 70 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 3: talked briefly to The Wall Street Journal denied it, saying 71 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: that she and a man she described as her husband 72 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: just wanted to have as many children as they could. 73 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: We would never sell our babies, she said. We take 74 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: care of them very well, except for the one that 75 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: was hospitalized. The website of the company, you can't take 76 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: care of twenty some babies very well. Well, they get 77 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 3: a bunch of nannies. Yeah, it's a corporation. 78 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: It is a freaking baby mill. 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 3: So site says it's in the business of connecting surrogates 80 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: with American and international couples who need them. And they 81 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: mentioned later that Bubba b. 82 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Okay. 83 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: So the probe is raising alarms, that's irrelevant. 84 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: The industry has. 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 3: Been fueled in recent years by money from China, where 86 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: surrogacy is illegal. In the US, one third of intended 87 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: parents were from other countries between twenty fourteen twenty twenty 88 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: among surrogates, and forty one percent of those were Chinese nationals, 89 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: and those figures are just five years old. 90 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: For reasons or whatever. 91 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 3: It's unclear whether the Arcadian mansion had direct ties to 92 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: China and the Chinese government, among the many mysteries surrounding 93 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: the couple, or how many children they had in total, 94 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: why a surgacy business was operating out of their home, 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 3: and whether the business had any outside clients. Over the 96 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: course of numerous conversations in English and Mandarin, Xiang the 97 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: woman either declined to respond or gave conflicting answers to 98 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: those and other questions. Her so called husband, by the way, 99 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: go Jan Juan, probably pronouncing that wrong, sir, I got 100 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: your name wrong. 101 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: Gujan is extremely. 102 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: Well connected in the La super heavyweight Chinese businessman community. 103 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: He and Xiang ran a real estate company which they 104 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 3: operated with a group of businessmen based in China. Oh 105 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: wait a minute, that's right. Every single Chinese business is 106 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 3: sworn by law, like every Chinese citizen to do the 107 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: bidding of the Communist Party whenever they're asked. Oh yeah, anyway, 108 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: using shell companies, this guy purchased more than a hundred 109 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: properties in the La area, many a foreclosure auctions, according 110 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: to former employees and property records, et cetera, et cetera. Well, 111 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: so what's the speculation of what's going on here? Rereading 112 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: babies to sell to Chinese nationals' that's how it looks. 113 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: There's more to this like this Juan guy. 114 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: But why. 115 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: People can't have babies on their owner? Oh yeah, I guess, well, 116 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: you can't have a surrogate in China. It's illegal. So 117 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: they're just breeding babies and then sending them back to China. 118 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: I guess yeah. There are more questions than answers here. 119 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: Like I said before, you're gonna be disappointed because the 120 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: authorities are trying to figure out what the frig is 121 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: going on here. But so this Juan guy, his company's 122 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: workers called him teacher, and he monitors them on feeds 123 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: from surveillance cameras at his home. Just really really weird. 124 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: Oh let's see, let me. I wanted to scroll down 125 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: to police reports.

One call reported 127 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: suspecting children at the home were being abused. There are 128 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: six to seven children.

The chance 177 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: of the war coming to an end or a ceasefire 178 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: is roughly zero. So a little more on that coming up.

So anyway, she weighs in, hot is 240 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 3: no longer toxic and the normies are back. Hey, Genoah, 241 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: popular retailer is using ads for jeans to revive the 242 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: Third Reich. 243 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: Pretty sneaky right, Pretty sneaky right, except they aren't. 244 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 3: They're just selling jeans the old fashioned way by selling 245 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 3: aspiration rather than activism. 246 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: I want to look hot in these genes. I love 247 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: that first line. Did you know popular retailer is using. 248 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: Ads for jeens to revive the Third Reich? Then she 249 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: sets it up and the campaign uses a play on words. 250 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: Jeans are passed down, Papa, my jeans are blue, she said. 251 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: In the end. Sometimes a pun is just a pun, 252 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and she writes. 253 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: In my thirty year career as a marketer and maker 254 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: of jeans, eight of them spent as the chief marketing 255 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: officer for Levi's, I've been pitched a simil campaign with 256 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: the exact same pun more times than I can count 257 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: on two hands. 258 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: I never ran with it. It just seemed too obvious. 259 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: But in an age of ads featuring featuring morbidly obese 260 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: and hairy chested non binary people lounging around in jeans 261 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: and underwear, this cliche feels fresh, if only because Sweeney 262 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: is hot. After all, when old becomes new again, it's 263 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 3: always about context. Mom Jean and dad shoes became cool 264 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: because of the irony, not because anyone actually wants to 265 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 3: look like their mom. And in the age of unwieldy wokeness, 266 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: hot blondes or a breakthrough idea, and she goes on 267 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: at some length. 268 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: It's very, very well written. 269 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: But yes, this is the proper response to these people guffaws. 270 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: So that might be the end of the Blue Gene story. 271 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: I wish the Epstein's. I thought the Epstein story was over, 272 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 3: but it's back with all the subpoenas yesterday. We'll get 273 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: to that coming up in a little bit. That's a 274 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: heck of a thing. Let me throw in a couple 275 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: of quick lines. According to I love this line too. 276 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: This is as useful as the phrase I've learned recently, 277 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 3: the eternal omni cause that ties queers for whatever, to Palestine, 278 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: to whatever, to fund the police, whatever the hell it is, 279 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,479 Speaker 3: climate change, ring everything. According to white liberal lady TikTok, 280 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: we've been subject to an endless stream of car videos 281 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: telling us how downright clueless or worse evil we are 282 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: if we don't see what's happening here. According to these 283 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: women who love telling us all what to think, Hitler 284 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: is cheering from the grave. One lamented the American Eagle 285 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: ad wasn't just a commercial. It was a love letter 286 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies. 287 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Do you actually believe that I think they do. Yeah. 288 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: They in the same way that occultist believes that their 289 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: cult leader is the reincarnation of God. 290 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: And you are a crazy person, Yeah, exactly, Well, you've 291 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 3: certainly been indoctrinated into a crazy philosophy. The Clintons have 292 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 3: been subpoenaed, and like everybody you've ever heard of in 293 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 3: the last fifteen years of politics, has been subpoena around 294 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 3: the whole Epstein thing. 295 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: Tell you what, some stranger walks up to you and 296 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: asks you whether your your name. Say no, they're about 297 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: to serve your papers. You're gonna get subpoena yourself. That's 298 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: an excellent point. 299 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: That's on the way if you miss a second to 300 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 3: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. 301 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 6: Glen Maxwell said nothing in those two days that would 302 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 6: harm President Trump, and during this meeting with the Justice Department, 303 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 6: sources familiar with its content say she told Deputy Attorney 304 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 6: General Todd Blanche that Trump did nothing in her presence 305 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 6: that would have caused her concern. 306 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 3: So I feel like that's not the best timing in 307 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 3: the world if you're going to try to claim there's 308 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: no deal between Trump and g Dog. That's what we've 309 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 3: decided to call this Maxwell woman. Since nobody knows how 310 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: to pronounce her first name, we need that Frenchman to 311 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 3: tell us it's French that gh It appears to me 312 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 3: looks very French to me. 313 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: Gilaine. So she gets. 314 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: Moved from the kind of prison you're supposed to go 315 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: to when you're trafficking underage women for sex. She has 316 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: had that kind of a prison for twenty years, practically 317 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: the rest of her life. She gets moved to a 318 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: country club without walls. Where can I spend the rest 319 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 3: of my life there? So you're gonna feed me and 320 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: I get to like watch TV and have my own room. 321 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: That sounds pretty cool. 322 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 3: She gets moved to that prison, no explanation whatsoever from anybody, 323 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: even though repeated questions to the Justice Apartment in the 324 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 3: White House and everybody else, no explanation why she got 325 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 3: the prison. No, no explanation for why she got moved 326 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 3: to the softer prison. Then like three days later we 327 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: get the story we just heard. Oh, in her interviews, 328 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: she said Trump didn't do anything and she never saw 329 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 3: Trump do anything. Now I don't think Trump did anything. 330 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 3: But that's a pretty bad look. You know, her being 331 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: moved at all is inexplicable. I mean, it's obviously a 332 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 3: quid pro cool for something. It's just now, it's wrong. 333 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 3: It's bad. It's not a good look.

You know, it's 353 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: so obvious what's happening here. 354 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 3: They just they're desperate to appear to be activists on 355 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: this topic. 356 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: For that chunk of the base, whose am I obsessed 357 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: with this? 358 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 3: Who's desperate to look like activists the Trump administration? Okay, 359 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 3: So for the q noon people out there who think 360 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: there's a pedal ring of elite running the world. Yeah, 361 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: there are everything from completely sincere people who have very modest, 362 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: you know, the modest mental picture of what this is 363 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 3: all about, to the sincere but delusional, to people who 364 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: are purely greed heads who've been profiting off conspiracy theories. 365 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: You have a range of people. 366 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 3: But uh, because certain parts of Maga world, both the 367 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: sincere and the greed heads, fueled this fire for a 368 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: long time, whipping up interest in Epstein and the child 369 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: of reduction, sex trafficking rings and blah blah blah. They 370 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: didn't realize that they had actually created a monster that 371 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: they couldn't control. And when Trump said essentially now there's 372 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: nothing here, we're moving on, They're like, no, we're not. 373 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 3: Why did they move her to a soft prison? I 374 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: haven't heard, because I haven't even heard anybody offer a 375 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 3: bad explanation of it, because that doesn't help what you 376 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: just said. If you feel like inside Trump world, they 377 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: believe they've really stepped in it, and to keep their 378 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 3: base happy, they got to look like they're going after 379 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 3: this hard. Moving her to a low security prison, which 380 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 3: sure looks like what you said, you know, some sort 381 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: of an exchange, doesn't is the opposite of that. I 382 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 3: think that's a mark of how desperate they were to 383 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: come up with something that made them look like, yes, 384 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: we're serious about the whole thing. Look we're trying. As 385 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: a miscalculation, though, I think you're right look, we're trying. 386 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: We moved her to a minimum security prison that exchange home. No, no, 387 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 3: see that's I think it will kind of land like that. 388 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: But no, what they were going for is, look, we 389 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 3: went in there and we grilled her, and we said 390 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 3: we want the list of blah blah blah, and if 391 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 3: we have to give her martial immunity or whatever, we're 392 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: going to do it. But by god, we're going to 393 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 3: get to the bottom of this thing. And then days 394 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: later the news breaks that she said I never saw 395 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: Donald Trump do anything wrong. And she also said, of 396 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: course there's no list of the pedophile. 397 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: Dudes, which I think is probably true.

Yeah, this isn't a sign, you know what, 504 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: just because it would be fun, Michael, play the next 505 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 3: one with Gaviy the bribe taking hypocrite Newsom, and yes, 506 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: I will back up that charge. 507 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 8: In California, Governor Gavin Newsom is preparing to call a 508 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 8: special election to have voters approve a new congressional map 509 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 8: that would eliminate some Republican districts, but only if Texas 510 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 8: follows through with its plans. Whatever they are doing will 511 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 8: be neutered here in the state of California, and they 512 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 8: will pay that price. 513 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: Have to hit you at the stack because it's the 514 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: most important thing I heard yesterday. Well, first of all, 515 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: California neuter's actual children if they express momentary gender confusions. 516 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: So if Gavin Newsom threatens to neuter somebody, I would 517 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: take it seriously. It means that the taxpayers will pay 518 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: for it. About thirty eight percent of people vote republic 519 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 3: and voted Republican in the last midterm we had. We 520 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 3: have in California. Seventeen percent of the House members in 521 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 3: California are Republicans, So you're way underrepresentative House members to 522 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: a total number of vote, and if Texas does what 523 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: they want to do, the numbers will be almost exactly 524 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 3: the same, just coincidentally, where you got about forty percent 525 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: of people vote Democrat, but they'll only have seventeen percent 526 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: of the representation. 527 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: I don't like that. 528 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 3: But jerry mandering happened in California years ago and Illinois 529 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: years ago, and that is the biggest missing part of 530 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 3: that one thing for Mark Alpern. And then you'll back 531 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 3: up your claims that he wrote, absolutely will And by 532 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: the way, I'm not disfeating your figures, but were those 533 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: the congressional votes in California? Because I thought the congressional 534 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: votes were much closer than the presidential votes. And since 535 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: we're talking about congressional districts, that that's the apples tackles. 536 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: Mark Alpern wrote, imagine if the dominant media covered past 537 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: bare knuckles cynical and political jerry mandering by Blue states 538 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 3: the way they're covering the bear uncle cinical political attempt 539 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 3: by Texas Republicans. So most of us aren't claiming what 540 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: Texas is doing is just fantastic for America. 541 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: But they're doing what the blue states have already. 542 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: Done, right, It's like in the middle of a boxing match, 543 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: one of the guys screeching. 544 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: Stop stop, he hit me. Did you see that he 545 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: hit me? Yes, that's what you're doing there, Sarah. 546 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: Here's my favorite headline, Texas demmi right in the face. 547 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: You all saw it. 548 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 3: Here's my favorite headline, Texas Dems fight jerry mandering by 549 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 3: taking seventy six seat private jet to jerrymandered blue state. 550 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: If you're not familiar with the politics of Illinois, remember 551 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: that at one point three of the last four governors 552 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: was in jail. Michael Madigan, who is the longtime mobster 553 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: who ran the legislature completely mobbed up. 554 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: He's now in jail. 555 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 3: Finally, just utterly, utterly corrupt states now run by the 556 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: child mutilating idiot JB. 557 00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: Pritsker. 558 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: That's such a great stat three out of four governors 559 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 3: ended up in prison, although honestly, I think Blokojevitch got 560 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: railroaded anyway, So this is absolutely hilarious. 561 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: How bad is Illinois? 562 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 3: With all due respect to how jerry mandered in unfair 563 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: California is old? JB knows how jerry mandering is done. 564 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 3: Illinois has seventeen House seats fourteen of them held by Democrats. 565 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 3: So Democrats control eighty two and a half percent of 566 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 3: the state's House seats eighty two and a half though 567 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: in the last election they won only fifty two and 568 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 3: a half percent of the House popular vote in those districts. 569 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Wow. 570 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: I mean, even in the less lopsided or more lopsided 571 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: presidential race, Trump won forty four percent of the vote. 572 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 3: And again, Democrats control eighty two and a half percent 573 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 3: of the state's House seat even though they barely won 574 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 3: over a half of the votes in those districts. And 575 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 3: that's where the Texas Democrats are hiding out to try 576 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 3: to save America from jerrymandering exactly. 577 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: That is hilarious. 578 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: And how they don't have that on your ABC Evening 579 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 3: newscast or any other channel, but Fox is amazing. Do 580 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 3: they burn irony for heat and they needed to collect 581 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: as much of it as they possibly could going to 582 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: Illinois for God's sake. 583 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be better off going to New York 584 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: even which is terrible, but it's not as bad as California. 585 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: They guessed correctly. 586 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 3: The mainstream media is not going to point that out 587 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 3: to anybody, and the average person doesn't pay attention to that. 588 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, it's hilarious. 589 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: It doesn't work, self government, No, does not work. People 590 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 3: don't pay enough attention, and you can't count on to me. 591 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: The only way it. 592 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 3: Works is if the federal government has extremely limited powers. 593 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 3: Because nobody, not even the President of the blank in 594 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 3: United States, can wrap his head around a tenth of 595 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: what the federal government does and how it does it. 596 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: Contemplate that for a minute. 597 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 3: There is not a human being who's ever lived on 598 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: Earth who could possibly comprehend the federal government. That's by design. 599 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 3: By the way, it's I don't know, I give up. 600 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: So the most likely outcome, according to most of the 601 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: smart people I know, is Texas will get their way. 602 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: California, Illinois and other. 603 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: Blue states already had got their way, but they're now 604 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: they're going to try to take it even further, and 605 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 3: we're all just going to go further down the road 606 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: of the whole jerrymindering thing. Even though he brought you 607 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 3: the poll numbers yesterday that only six percent of Americans 608 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 3: approve of the idea of gerrymandering districts. If you were 609 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 3: to get some non partisan like scientists and statisticians together, 610 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 3: I'll bet you could cook up a really reasonable, like 611 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 3: five tier process for forming congressional districts. Districting in short, 612 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 3: and if we spend years and millions of dollars and 613 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 3: a commission were gathered and yielded that report, which George 614 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 3: Washington himself would descend from the clouds and endorse in 615 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 3: his booming voice. That report would then be ignored and 616 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 3: thrown away because the parties have no interest in it. 617 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 1: Correct. 618 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 3: Just saw this headline. McDonald's sales have bounced back from 619 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 3: drastic declines. You remember when we were talking about That 620 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 3: is like a canary in the coal mine for where 621 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 3: things were. 622 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: People stopped going to McDonald's. The new value meals won 623 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: over anxious US customers. I don't know what the new 624 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: value meals are, but they must be. I might have 625 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: to go today. It must be a really good deal. Wow. 626 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: I don't need it McDonald's because I'm better than you. 627 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 3: But that is good news, so American, so delicious. Oh my, 628 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 3: your poor colon. I weep for your colon and high 629 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 3: fives me. Yeah, I have some good show, it says, wow. 630 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 3: Having a little time processing it, a little tough time 631 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 3: getting it out of here. But colon abuse, clearly, I 632 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 3: wish there was a law. And anyway, what are we 633 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 3: doing next hour? I can't wait. It'll be fantastic. Britain's 634 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 3: government is about to fall apart completely. There will be 635 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 3: a revolution in the streets. 636 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: Wait. 637 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 3: What, we got a lot of stuff in the NFL 638 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 3: doing a deal with ESPN.
