She's done a plea deal, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.320 saying she knowingly planned and participated in her own hoax kidnapping. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.080 Now Peppini changing her story yet again, claiming she really 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.600 was abducted and assaulted by James Rayes. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.040 There was no master plan, there was no hoax kidnapping. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.400 There was a cover up of what happened, and I 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.359 participated in. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:26.959 The cover up. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.480 Rayes had previously told investigators the Peppini caused her own 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.160 injuries and that, at her request, he branded her with 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.280 a wood burning tool. Investigators say he passed a polygraph 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.480 test and was duped by Peppini. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.880 Yeah, if you don't know this story and the details 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.040 are being filled in, and I'll get to a little, uh, 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.280 some of the background here in a segment. Yeah, she 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.560 she her hair was cut, she'd been branded. Was she 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.440 did herself or she's claiming this guy did or whatever 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.560 at her request. I mean, that's some that's some commitment 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:02.480 to your hoax branding yourself. Mum, you gotta admire that, huh? 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.800 Do I do? I? She didn't just go halfway on 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.440 her made up story. She went all the way and 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.120 then a pretty decent question, why would we believe you? 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.360 Now? 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.640 I was gonna just for the plot that that's her 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.280 ex boyfriend who she went to spend a couple of 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.960 days with because she was tired of being wife and 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:25.240 mom supermom right, and he let her in because it 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.240 was his hot ex girlfriend.

It was pretty good when 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.720 it last, did uh?

Have you ever lied in your 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.760 history of existence. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:18.200 And then has that lie been blown up and broadcasted. 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.280 Around the world. It's so much more complex. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.559 Than just pointing the finger and saying you're a liar. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:34.159 And I wish, I wish more than anything, I could 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:35.120 have been more truthful. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.480 Oh my god, it was worth it. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.400 It was worth it bringing it up, bringing this up, 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.800 to play that clip. I gotta play that for my 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.440 kids at home. Whenever you get I cut up with 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.440 a chick who sounds like this, that's your takeaway. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:53.400 It's a good takeaway.

Well that's another one. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:00.240 Ah. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.720 So I'm guessing she got some money out of this 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.080 or was convinced by these filmmakers that this is your 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.640 chance to set the record straight, because that's how you 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.920 dupe somebody into doing this. But from the department of 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.920 stop digging, right, yet another round with this guy. She's 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.839 crazy though, she's It's like the Olympics. Every four years 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.160 she comes around and entertains us with her her craziness. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.160 She's like the Olympics. Every four years we get an update. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.160 Oh yeah, I like gymnastics. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:32.480 Oh yeah. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.440 The Sherry Peppini story. The real story is I wasn't 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.039 This is you know, dateline twenty twenty nine. I was 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.600 not abducted by my ex boyfriend. It was space aliens 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.719 and they probed my anus. That'll be the hook, all right, So. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.359 Let me read a little from the Wikipedia. Sherry's husband, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.919 Keith Peppini, first became concerned when he returned from his 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:55.839 job at Best Buy. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.400 Poor son of a gun and his kids. Let's not 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.680 forget that two kids. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.960 I'mber second twenty sixteen, so this is shortly before Thanksgiving, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.360 which plays a role in this, and could not find 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.600 his wife at home. He eventually used define my iPhone 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.640 application to locate her cell phone and earbuds at the 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.320 intersection of Sunrise Driving Old Organ Trail, about a mile 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.040 from their home. Okay, that's up by reading California if 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.520 you know where that is, which is like a two 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.160 and a half hour drive from where she ended up, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.000 according to Shasta County Sheriff. In interviews, Peppini said she 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.960 was helped by two Hispanic women who took steps to 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.800 keep their faces hidden from her, either by wearing masks 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.440 or keeping Peppini's head covered. Peppini was branded on her 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.960 right shoulder during her purported captivity with the word Exodus. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.000 When investigators questioned Sherry at a later date, she claimed 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.040 that it looked like a verse from the Book of Exodus. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.680 According to a statement by her husband, Sherry was physically 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.400 abused during their captivity, had her nose broken and her 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.320 hair cut off, and weighed eighty seven pounds when. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.040 She was released. Well, she was only gone for four days. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.800 How much weight can you look? Was in four days? 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.040 Was it just four days? Wasn't that long? Was it 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.520 was Thanksgiving? Maybe it was longer? Okay, all cepried even 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:07.600 that's something. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.840 At the time, the sheriff said it was still an 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.520 active investigation and authorities were looking for a dark colored 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.920 suv with two Hispanic females armed with a handgun. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.800 I remember when we were talking about this all the time. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:17.679 Oh yeah. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.680 Detectives had authored close to twenty search warrants, including some 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.720 in Michigan, and said they were examining cell phone records, 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.640 bank accounts, e mails, social media profiles. The FBI was involved. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.160 Peppinie was found with both male and female DNA on 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.480 her neither of which matched her or her husband. The 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:42.000 FBI ran the samples blah blah blah. In March, the 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.400 oh the DNA found on her clothing they eventually figured 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.640 out matched her ex boyfriend, James Reese, who she now 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.520 says is the guy that branded her and held her, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.320 who confirmed that Peppini stayed with him at his residence 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.600 in southern California during the time she was allegedly kidnapped. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.840 Have we heard much from him about what that was 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.720 like the the week or so that they spent together. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.640 Was that just you know, loving bliss with sex, holding 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.520 hands and watching Netflix? Or was she as crazy as 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.360 she seems to be that whole time and he was like, 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:12.880 how do I get her out of here? 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.400 I'm guessing the second, because everybody said they did not 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.400 have sex at the time. Wow, what did they do 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.319 there the whole time? Netflix? Anyway. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.720 In March of twenty twenty two, she was arrested by 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.640 the FBI, accused of lying to fade her allegiance, faking 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.520 her kidnapping to spend time with her ex boyfriend away 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.320 from her husband and family. Which makes you a very 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.840 very bad person. Although I think she is completely crazy. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.120 Got thirty three counts of male fraud and all kinds 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.040 of different things because of the way the law works. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.319 In September twenty second, this is probably all in the documentary. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.520 She apologized and accepted full responsibility at her sentencing hearing. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:10:00.120 Accept full responsibility as opposed to who else? Really, you're 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.520 taking responsibility for the whole disappearing on your family, cutting 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:08.559 your hair, branding yourself, claiming some Hispanic women abducted you. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.520 You're taking using the good name of Hispanic women everywhere, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.560 you monster. Did we ever believe this had happened? Or 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.640 were we at first? Yeah? But as soon as the 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.480 facts of her abduction came out, it was like, come on, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.840 Which is how that poor couple of Pedaluma, so many 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.720 people suspected them. If you remember this case in Pedaluma, California, 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:37.959 who were alleging this bizarre, utterly illogical, really stupid kidnapping, 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.160 And it turns out it was a mentally ill former 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:47.320 marine who did all the exactly what the claim he did. 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.600 But it was so stupid and illogical it sounded like 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.000 the Sherry Peppini thing. Yeah, okay. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.400 At the time of her kidnapping, her disappearance was featured 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.719 extensively in national news true crime programs. Front cover of 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.440 People magazine. The outlets continue to cover the story after 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.000 the hoax was confirmed, including multiple true crime documentaries, News 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:15.000 Magazine and News Magazine episode Whooping Cough, and podcasts. There 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.560 have been Lifetime shows, there have been Netflix shows. There've 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.839 been this crazy. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.440 Biach is a cottage industry. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.839 Who Who's a limited documentary series Perfect Wife, The mysterious 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:31.319 disappearance of Sherry Peppini, not that mysterious. Eminem references the 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.640 kidnapping hoax and his song Houdini, That's funny. I heard 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.480 that on the radio just the other day, and I 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.880 heard that, and I thought, I wonder how many people 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.640 get that line with the line caught sleeping and see 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.240 the kidnapping never did happen, like Sherry Peppini, Harry Houdini, 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.439 I vanished in the thin air as I'm leaving me. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.480 So I heard that just the other day, and I thought, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.000 how many people get that? I understand we have a 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.040 new cut. That's the husband in an interview from last year, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.640 when he first saw her at the hospital. 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.280 When you first encountered her in the hospital, was your 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:01.000 first instinct? 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:02.640 I saw the look in her eyes. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.640 I felt in that moment that she was lying and 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.040 It wasn't until when I really got close and I 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:13.640 could just see the amount of injuries, bruises, burns to 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.840 her body, and it was a shock to me. And 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.120 I remember thinking, how horrible of me to even think 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.160 that she could have done this to herself. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:29.559 Well, I wonder how quickly he got to reality and 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.800 then if he was ever in like a period of 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.800 jealous anger over the fact that she went to see 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.320 an ex boyfriend, or if he just immediately was able 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.920 to go to she's completely mentally ill. I can't be 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.240 angry at a mentally ill person. She's completely crazy. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:45.800 I mean, to. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:50.960 Brand yourself, give yourself bruises, I mean, you're completely crazy. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.200 Yeah, I don't you're making a bigger deal of the 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.280 branding yourself because somebody likes that. I mean, you press 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.400 something hot to yourself, it will scar you immediately and 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.559 it'll hurt. But I mean, it's not like it's a 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.199 sizzling cattle brand or something. Now, you know, Joe soft peddling. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.520 Self branding is a well the work of nut jobs, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.520 and I think it's I think it could have been 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.520 harder for this guy because I mean, as you said, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:22.360 she's completely crazy. Now she's not a babbling psychotic. She's 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:27.679 a manipulative narcissist. And that's a slower road to travel 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.920 than Oh my god, my wife has lost a grip 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.720 on reality because she hasn't. She's not psychotic, she's just 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.760 you know, back in the day they call it, would 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.600 have called her extremely neurotic. She's some borderline personality disorder. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.320 Again, I'm gonna play that one clip for my kids. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.160 If you ever meet a woman who sounds anything like this, none, No, 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:46.920 what if she's hot? Dad doesn't? 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.920 Matt in facts extra No, yes, yes, run run run, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640 give us, just get us thirty five again, Michael, to 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:53.960 wrap it. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.480 Up and we'll go to break the sherry peppini that's 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:58.079 out there. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.040 It's not me, she's not real. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.600 It's just this version of me that has been created 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.000 to fit the narrative for the media's version of what happened? 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:15.640 All right, Cuckoo, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getti The Armstrong 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:29.600 and Getty Show, The arm. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.920 Strong and Getty Show I mentioned earlier. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.400 My neighbors are making me feel bad about myself and 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.160 super super nice people in this new neighborhood that I 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:43.200 live in, But my picture of them from my driveway is. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.680 I've only had a couple of conversations with them. A 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.640 few conversations been their kids, that sort of stuff. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:48.320 Really nice. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.000 But my picture of them for my driveway, it's like 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.640 seeing their Facebook page with all the achievements and everything 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.880 that all the time, they're always up earlier than me 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.080 my kids. They're always out exercising, like with the kids, 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.680 bike rides and all this different sort of stuff. On 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.800 Sundays they're up early and the kids are all dressed 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.120 up and they get to church. Every time I go 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.480 to the gym, he's there. It's like, are there two 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.120 of you? How do you do this? I don't understand 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.440 how you do this? Washing their cars in the drive 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:22.360 It's just like they're constantly doing productive things and and 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.520 like being just soproductive and happy. And it's just it's 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.280 I need to move somewhere where the people are like 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.160 just laying around. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.480 They're in super fit. I need I need to I 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:34.840 need to live. I need to live. 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.440 Next to people who are like oh bees, laying around 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.640 and even crap, their cars are. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.600 Dirty, their kids looking right. Yeah, yeah, okay, well you 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.080 have you have three choices to me, all right. Number one, 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:53.960 there's that choice very attractive. Number two. Number two, you 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.760 could up your game and be as good or better 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.440 than your neighbors. Let's just put that one aside. Right, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.920 Let's able that, at best third undermine their efforts. Now 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.520 here's the option. I'm interested in exploring. What can you 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.640 do to undermine that family their good habits and their happiness? Right, 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.120 that's just the best offense is a good defense. You 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280 know that. Watching the NCAA tournament, Jack. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.760 God to admit, I'm looking for some downside to make 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.080 myself feel better. It's like, there's gotta be something going 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.160 on over there that's not perfect because it looks perfect. Yeah, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.080 and I feel like they're doing it just to mock me. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.200 That's their main motivation. Well, let's yeah, that's the key 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:35.240 is to take it personally. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:40.280 Yes, it only makes sense their excellence is an insult 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.600 to you. Yeah, it's a very productive, a great attitude 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:44.960 to have. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.720 Yeah, when I when I walk out and I see 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.520 them with their kids all dressed up headed to Sunday school. 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.120 And I think my kids are still in bed, and 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.760 I just got up myself. Oh my good. Right, you've 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.120 got to resent them for that. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.040 You're gonna come home from church and then wash your 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.520 cars and then you're going to the gym. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.160 Okay, that's not exactly what my plan is. Wow, well 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.080 have you read He'll Be Elegy? You really should, or 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.160 we're gonna read it. We're gonna eat too much bad 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.120 food and go back to sleep. It's sort of our plan, 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.159 but SATs their own exactly. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:16.560 Armstrong and Geddy. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.560 Why Armstrong and Geeddy on demand? We're not boring. A 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.239 lot of news is boring and tedious and depressing. It 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.840 makes you angry. You don't want to live your life 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.640 like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty. We're 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.640 Armstrong in Geeddy. We try to bring you the truth 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.359 and help you figure out this crazy modern world. About 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.680 something about a comedic tone. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.960 We have a one arm Yes, listen to Armstrong You 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.280 Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio, at Apple Podcasts or 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.040 wherever you get your podcasts. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.400 See Armstrong and Getty show. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.240 Congress, Congress'll give me a break. 0:17:58.240 --> 0:17:58.880 Did you see her? 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.440 She was out of control? 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:01.560 Those days are over? 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.000 The days are the days are who? 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:04.600 No I did? 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:05.600 The days of. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.280 Woke are over. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.720 That woman I don't I have no idea who she 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.280 is that woman was out of control. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.120 She was shoving federal agents, she was out of control. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.320 The days of that crap are over in this country. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:18.960 We're gonna have law and order. You know. 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.200 That reminds me. I can't let go of this topic. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.160 I will in a second. But we got a text 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:28.800 from somebody. How come you guys gloss over Trump's obvious decline? 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.480 Why aren't you talking about that? You know that was 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.400 one of the big pushbacks during the whole Biden thing. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.960 Look at Trump's rambling or when he gets things wrong, 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.119 which he does, and he does ramble and versus the thing, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.919 but you just heard him that they're not even in 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:48.480 the same ballpark of mental decline. It's apples and volkswagons 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:49.160 in terms. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.560 Of mental decline. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.159 And yeah, and if you but if you actually believe that, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.479 that's the why I want to bring this up. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:57.600 If you actually believe that you. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:03.840 Have the same level of lying to yourself delusion that 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.600 allowed all this to happen because you're so wrong, because. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.399 You want it so badly to be true. Yeah, I 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.800 take a long look at yourself. I don't know what 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.320 else to suggest. Always say about looking in the mirror. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.200 If you don't know what introspection is, take a long, 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:23.520 hard look at yourself. That was Trump commenting on the 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:30.280 arrest of Democratic New Jersey congress gal Monica mc ivor 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:34.639 what story, assaulted cops and ice officials and stuff like that, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.400 then tried to hide behind race and whatever else. The lunatic. Yeah, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.960 the charges against me are purely political. You're a hack, 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.120 you're a liar, you assaulted a cop. Enjoy the criminal 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.720 justice process. I hope it's long in our all. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.040 In the name of protecting illegal criminals. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.600 What Yeah, Well, keep going. Good look in that next election. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:04.639 So a slightly different topic, but oddly connected. There's a 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.840 great piece by Will Swain in the National Review, who's 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:13.040 been following California politics and Gavin Newsom's absurdities and the 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.400 rest of that. He's also the president of the California 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:20.760 Policy Center and is California and Will does great work. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.480 We ought to talk to him someday. I don't think 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.560 we have. But so he's talking about as so many 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.600 people have. The California Globe has done a good job 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:32.399 on this too. Gavin Newsom's just shameless gas lighting on 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.720 the homeless crisis, or shameless dodge on the homeless price 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.720 crisis is Will Swain puts it, and how Gavy boy 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.280 had the audacity and just I mean, you almost have 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.960 to have a sense of humor to try to say 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:52.679 the real problem that caused California's homeless crisis as it 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:58.800 exists right now is Trump's tariffs. Wow. I mean, like, wow, wow. 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:04.159 The guy's been governor and you know, a vice governor 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:10.520 or whatever since was it twenty thirteen, twenty twelve. It 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.959 sits in here somewhere. It's quite a while. And Trump's 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.119 just I mean, I can't even it's not worth the 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.840 time to shoot that down. It's inpetently ridiculous. But I mean, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:25.280 he's just trying so hard to come off as a moderate. 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.600 As he said the other day, I've been always a 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:35.280 hard headed pragmatist, he told reporters. The hard headed pragmatist 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.600 did not mention that he has increased the state's budget 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.960 by fifty percent since twenty eighteen. I didn't know that 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.359 funding an array of boutique progressive programs. His green energy 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.919 initiatives have killed the state's oil industry, wall jacking up 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.040 the price gasol into the heist in the nation. He 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.840 remains the state's cheerleader for a high speed rail project that, 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.399 five years after it was supposed to be done, hasn't 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.000 laid a foot of track, but has burned through at 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:02.879 least thirty three billion dollars and probably more. Nothing screams 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.760
