WEBVTT - It Was Dumbledore You Illiterate! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.040 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong's Joe, Katty arm Strong. 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:22.680 And Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. I've gotten a 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.239 lot of texts similar to this one. 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:25.919 Jack. 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.800 I'm so sick of men talking to me at the gym. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.960 I just want to work out. I used to wear 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.640 a leave me alone T shirt. If you have a 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.199 question about glutes, google it. Don't talk to me. But 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.000 uh that it would suck if that happens to you 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.360 all the time. I have a friend she wanted to 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.639 get into golfing, and she had her afternoons free, so 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.360 she'd go golfing by herself. She said she couldn't ever go. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.280 She'd be out there golfing by herself. Every five minutes 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.240 some guy rides, hey, you want to golf with us? 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.120 Or you need somebody to golf with or blah blah 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.640 blah blah blah. Constantly She's just no, I'm okay. 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:00.120 You know. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.440 Oh that would wear you out, that would get annoying, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.000 that would get knowing that people are looking at you. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.280 Try Yeah, I get it. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:10.759 Yeah. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.440 I'd attempted to go off on a tangent and what 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.520 I don't get from you dudes who do that sort 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.640 of thing. Do you really think an attractive woman golfing 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.160 alone just doesn't have any way to meet men, and 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.319 she just doesn't. It's that's why she's out there by herself. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.320 She just has no way to meet a dude. So 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.600 you coming by talking to her? No, no, no, I 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.559 don't think guys think that they see a fish within 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.160 the reach of their line, so they throw their line 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.720 in simple as that. I can see how it would 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.080 be very annoying tho as a woman that you'd think, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:46.720 I can't go golf by myself, or I can't go 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.320 to the gym by myself because somebody talks to me 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:49.080 every five minutes. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.560 It's too tiresome. Yeah, yeah, totally Yeah, unfortunate. Ah So 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.320 we've got a lot to squeeze into the final hour 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.680 of the week, But first let's take a fond look 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.000 back at the week that was. It's cow clips, the. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:12.840 Week the bombshow release of what House Democrats say are 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.359 emails to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.480 This vote is going to be on your record for 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.520 longer than Trump is going to be president, and. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.960 Lauren Bowert herself was called here to the White House 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.640 had a meeting inside the Situation Room. These emails proved 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.079 absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:33.840 nothing wrong. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.079 Do you think President Trump has something to hide here? 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.919 I don't because I believe the women, and the women 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.840 have said over and over again that Donald Trump did 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:43.480 nothing wrong. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.799 Well, hundred flights have been canceled all across the US today. 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.600 My little one learned the word ice cream and she 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.760 maybe make sure I promised her to get her ice stream. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:53.679 When I get back home from the drip. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.040 That being said nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.120 I'd say it comes to fake me that little girl 0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:58.760 in her ice scream. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.280 Longest government shut down in American history could be coming 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:03.919 to an end. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.320 Democrats nationwide feeling about Chuck Schumer. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.400 I think the word of the day is terrible. No 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.040 way to defend this. You are right to be angry. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.320 I hell not. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.800 Turmoil at Britain's premiere broadcaster with President Trump right in 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:25.200 the middle. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.919 We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll. 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.000 Be there with you and we fight. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.760 We fight like hell ready t ready play a bunch 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:43.000 of fashion in the fir he says, excuse me, sir, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.720 so misgendering me right away. If you're not a woman, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.880 that's obvious. This is a police matter. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.200 We need. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.040 I was assault No, they are not. They are men. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.080 I was assaulted. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:03:59.880 Hey, optimist, you know where I can get a co 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.440 I can take you to the kitchen if you want 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.560 to check for a coke there. Oh yeah, that'd be great. Go, yes, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.680 let's do that. This is a very big play. Don't 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.480 you think they have to get a touchdown. Let's put 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.440 it differently. They just got a touch out. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:19.880 It is gonna be a great grandmother. Oh, Charley, congratulations. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:39.960 We don't want to talk about it, we say. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:46.440 No, no, no. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.640 No, it's clips of the week. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.159 We really ought to do the story about having your 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.360 dead relative talk to you again. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:02.360 An AI chat bot halogram app of your dead granny. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.000 So we'll do that coming up. I won't read all 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.400 the texts, getting lots of text about this whole gym interaction. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.440 It's kind of an interesting thing. We got a number 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.119 of texts from I'm a woman and I wish guys 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.919 would hit on me and they don't, and it's hurtful. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.560 Got that got this sort of thing. Don't dress like 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:21.960 a whore, and we'll leave you alone. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.560 So that's uh, well, that's a kind of a different. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.200 Nick fuintes in cell view of the whole. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:36.600 Thing, I think, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm going to do 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.040 one Epstein email and I'll shut up about it. Newly 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.120 released emails shows that Epstein thought Trump was one of 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.240 the worst people he knew and doesn't have didn't have 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.760 one decent cell in his body. Well, he kicked you 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.440 out of the club, he clicked he kicked you out 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.480 of mar A Lago, so you're really really pissed off. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:01.520 I understand that dynamic. Yeah I don't. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.039 I would certainly prefer that my politicians be really good 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.240 moral people. I have never thought that about Donald Trump. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.600 He's effective, He's had some great policies. But yeah, if 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.960 somebody says, yeah, he's really not that moral a guy, 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.279 he's not really a good guy. Ring's fairly true to me. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.320 Just have bigger problems than that. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.200 We will get to the AI loved one passing thing 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.200 for you coming up soon. There are a number of 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.920 clips in the clips of the week that I would 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.279 comment on. A I don't know what to do about. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:38.680 Clips of the Week. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.000 We do this every week and I don't know any 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.960 way around it, but sometimes there's stuff in there that 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.920 I'm afraid you didn't hear, Like it's you know, it's 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.600 an ai voice and you think it's a real voice. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.400 In this case, it was Donald Trump. It was actually 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.920 Donald Trump's voice, but he never said that clip that 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.400 we had in there. That was the falsely edited version 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:01.599 from BBC that they are now being about, and we 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.400 put it in Clips of the Week. BBC edited that together. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.760 They were like two things Trump said and almost an 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.440 hour apart. They put it together to make it seem 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.440 like it was one thought. And now the head of 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.600 BBC and the number two at BBC, probably the most 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.640 important news organization on planet Earth, the head of that 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.680 news organization stepped down over that lying documentary that they. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.920 Put out a little over a year ago, and they 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:30.280 should have. 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.160 I came across a great perspective on that from a 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:42.880 guy named Joseph Sternberg, who anyway, he's writing about that 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.840 that scandal, and he says from afar, it might look 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.000 as though the crisis englfing the British Broadcasting Corporation is 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.920 only about the dishonest editing of trump et cetera. Oh no, friends, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.840 you're witnessing the meltdown of a core institution of British society. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.520 And then he describes the editing scandal that you just described, 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.040 and so they did, they did all that, and he says, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.400 for what, I defy any reader to furnish evidence that 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.920 a single American voter in twenty twenty four was swayed 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.280 by the BBC report about anything. No sensible BBC staffer 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.080 could have thought that airing this clip in this form 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.880 on the show would convey useful information about what a 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.200 Trump wind might mean for the domestic British audience that 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.680 watched it. And then he says, one suspects that the 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.720 panorama that was the show report was created solely to 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.920 tackle the emotional pleasure centers of the journalists involved in 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.439 the liberals among their audience. And then he points out, oh, 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.200 and then he goes into BBC's Arabic service which is 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:50.920 flamingly anti Israel, and the LGBTQ desk that suppresses anything 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:56.080 contrary to far left beliefs at the BBC. And then 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.480 the most interesting part to me was he says, this 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.680 is rocking Britain in a way that America. They struggle 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.640 to fathom if their frame of reference is US public broadcasting. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.840 The BBC is much bigger and it's funding model much 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.439 more intrusive. You pay an annual tax of two hundred 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:15.240 and thirty bucks a year every British household watching any 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.760 live programming BBC or otherwise. It's a compulsory tax to 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.160 support the BBC with their payers. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.120 With their incredibly slanted news coverage. That's wild. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.839 Yeah, I know taxpayers. US taxpayers granted five hundred and 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.439 twenty five million dollars to public broadcasting. Well, therefore fires 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.440 cut off the bigot I was calling them with the 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.560 World's NPR or Britain's NPR, they're way more what we 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.040 always complain about NPR. NPR was getting taxpayer money, but 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:49.000 not near to that level. And to finish the comparison, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.280 Corporation for Public Public Broadcasting got about half a billion 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.720 dollars from the government, okay, from taxpayers half a billion. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:03.240 The BBC got five billion dollars wow, in tax money. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.840 It is omnipresent, four entertainment oriented television channels, two children's channels, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.080 feeds from Parliament local language channel channels in Scotland and Wales, 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:18.119 a domestic twenty four hour news channel, dozens of radio stations, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.880 operates its own video and audio streaming services and several 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.680 smartphone apps. Yeah, Internationally, it combines news as public diplomacy 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.720 via the World Service, et cetera, et cetera. It is enormous. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.880 So the head of the BBC resigned and the number 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.200 two resigned Sunday night, and we did this story Monday morning. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.600 And until then I was unaware the BBC was really 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.480 the biggest news organization on planet Earth. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.160 I didn't know that. So it's a pretty big deal. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.360 The fact that Brits put up with I assume about 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.200 half Brits don't agree with the politics of the BBC. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.320 So y'all are paying that much money for something that 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.200 is propaganda that you don't believe in. That it's amazing. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.760 Did it used to be more fair and that's how 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:03.640 it got going? 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:05.640 I think so? 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.640 Yeah. I love the left has moved so far left 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.360 in recent years, just like in the US. But he 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:15.439 makes one more really interesting observation. The fact that the 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.560 BBC is omnipresent in British society means that for decades 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.199 the BBC has served as the interior decorator, arranging Britain's 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.040 mental furniture, which is a nice metaphor, but the effect 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.600 is amplified because working at the BBC is a dream 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.600 job for many journalists and creatives, and that kills any 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.480 incentive to sattle your resume with any output that could 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.080 one day turn off a BBC hiring manager. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.160 Wow. So it is the super super. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.079 Giant of journalism and you wouldn't dare put out anything 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.640 early in your career that would challenge the BBC's leftist 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:53.400 point of view. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.960 Wow. So it's like, if you want to be a journalist, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:57.760 the whole. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.320 World of media was the New York Times or the 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.280 old New York Times pre verry wise leaving New York Times. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:08.320 Wow that's something. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:11.520 Yeah. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.880 Yeah, so good news. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.920 Your relative died, but they can still talk to you 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.440 through AI, give you parenting advice.

People who would miss that 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.560 would would sign up for this stupid app. We got 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.520 this email from John. I remember when my kids were 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.920 watching the Harry Potter movies, there was a mirror that 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.040 Harry could use to see his ns one of the 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.720 head wizards. One of the head wizards, it was Dumbledore. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:35.320 You illiterate anyway, I kid, Dumbledore talk to him about 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:36.480 how dangerous that was. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.400 You can get lost in that, you will literate. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.880 I was kidding. John's got a good sense of here already. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:48.280 Knows that's right. Harry talked to his dead parents, of course. 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.480 That the idea was that they're like, it can actually, 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.160 you know, think and converse and it's not just a 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.760 made up computer voice and it's not completely phony. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.880 It was like, all right, magic, it was his magic. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.040 This is the magic of Ai God. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.040 Damn, I hope this is not the where we're headed. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.639 The people are going to do this. You know, when 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.080 you're a little kid and you talk to grandma, and 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.160 grandma's been dead for forty years, you weren't actually talking 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:11.520 to Grandma. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.080 Sorry, ill idea Armstrong and Geddy In. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.919 An age of strange political stories, the John Fetterman's story 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.480 is a damned interesting one, beginning to end. We mocked 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.399 him when he was running for Senate in Pennsylvania endlessly 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.840 as a guy who'd never accomplished anything in his life 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:38.399 and seemed to be a socialist and had never had 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.760 a real job and lived in his mom's basement and 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.159 blah blah blah, blah blah, and the whole wearing shorts 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.800 and a hoodie all the time and pretending to be 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.720 working class when you've never had a job and. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.679 Went to Harvard, didn't he Yeah, something like that. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:51.240 You did. 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.840 Yeah, if you wrote this story, nobody'd buy it. They'd 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.400 think this'n it's too crazy. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.520 Then, doney, he has a stroke what while he's running 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.639 for Senate kind of disappears for all, comes back. Remember, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.919 has that weird debate with doctor Oz where he locks 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.560 up and makes no sense and everything like that, hands 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:15.040 up winning, partially because he's running against doctor Oz. Then 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.160 then he gets into the Senate, and particularly after October seventh, 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:24.160 really showed himself to be an independent thinker, as being 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.600 a solid supporter of Israel and anti Hamast despite where 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.399 the direction his party was going, and lots of different things. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.000 He's a very independent thinking guy, and I regularly agree 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.000 with him. He's got a memoir out New York Times, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:45.240 says John Fetterman's memoir is unlike any politicians book you've read. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.040 On a crowded shelf of memoirs by sitting politicians. John 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.600 Fetterman's new book has to be one of the strangest 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.080 you'll find, none of the genre's usual tropes. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.160 No can do optimism. That's why I. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:02.120 Never read these things. Ridiculous. Usually they're not written by 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.919 the person and they're just never ending. Can do optimism, 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:10.199 affability the evidence of a politician's instinct to gladhand for 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.040 the next election. I mean, just you know, trying to 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:13.640 work you for the next time they run. And they're 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.840 just always so phony. It's like a campaign ad or whatever. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.080 But that's not what it is. 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:19.600 In this one. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.840 It's not entirely clear from Unfettered whether Federman plans to 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:29.200 ever run again for any election. And he talks about 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.359 how he had been in depth about being hospitalized for 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.480 a stroke for a few months before he beat doctor Oz, 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.879 and how when he was elected to the US Senate 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.679 he felt nothing. The next day he was in a 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.320 daze of doom, staring at a bridge contemplating suicide. The 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.680 day after being elected to the US Senate. I'm not 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.960 actually read this. I find it really interesting. He doesn't 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.440 show up for a lot of votes, so I don't 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.720 know that you said earlier. You don't know why he 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.359 hasn't resigned. Maybe he's just going to play out his 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.880 term and then never run again. Well, I just need 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.040 to support himself though, with some money from somewhere. 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.440 Yeah, especially after his heart stoppage. I would think he's 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.120 either completely rededicated to being a senator and the time 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:17.959 he has left, or he wants to quit to not 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.239 you know, upset his ticker again. But I don't know. 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.760 He is one of the Democrats who voted to reopen 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.439 the government by a way, So I haven't heard any 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.120 of this with Katie Kirk that we're about to play. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.240 He did went on her podcast and I heard some 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.919 stuff about it. Sounded interesting. This is Fetterman talking to 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:37.680 news legend. 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:43.199 Katie Kirk, a father of young children, was shot in 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.440 public because of his political views, and that's a tragedy 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.359 and give people the space to grieve. 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.600 Do you think that flags should have been flown at 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.080 half staff? Do you think his body should have been 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.560 flown on air force too? Do you think he should 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:03.920 have posthumously given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I think 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:09.560 some people felt that that was perhaps over the top 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:15.800 in terms of mourning someone like Charlie Kirk, How did 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:16.639 you feel about that? 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.040 I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative, 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.960 and that's that's where that's and that was that was 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:25.240 really entirely up to him. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.919 Did you have any issues now in hindsight over some 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.640 of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.600 the rhetoric he used during his life. 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.600 I didn't agree with with much of it. I didn't 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.920 closely followed his specific kinds of views. That would never 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.760 justify what's happened. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:49.119 What's the context of that question, Katie, What are you 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:50.080 driving at? 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:55.479 She's trying to get him to say bad things about Trump. 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.000 That's what everybody does. 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.560 Trump went too far and honoring Charlie Kirk, and then 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.399
