WEBVTT - Compassion, Poison & Palms 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.000 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.080 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:18.680 Arm Strong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.680 eight seconds left. 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.440 Fox has it ahead to Fasel gone and the San 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.640 Antonio Spurs done it. 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.040 There will be a new champion in the NBA. A 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.479 new era has done. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.200 It's Wendy's West Thelus Spurs are. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.520 Going to the NBA Final. Yep, that's gonna be exciting. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.159 Spurs Nicks if you like basketball, and I love the 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.680 idea of when beyond a plane of Madison Square Garden 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.040 in front of all those stars, and if he can 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.080 win it, if they win, it'll be because of him, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.240 and he'd be the MVP. He'd be the second youngest 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.480 player to ever lead a team to an NBA championship. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.280 Magic Johnson was twenty when he led the Lakers to 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.080 the championship. Twenty Wow, that is young. But when Bion 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.840 is only twenty two, that'd be fun to watch. So 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:22.480 we'll get to this a little bit later, but I 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.920 figured this would happen. They got Jill Biden a Super 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:32.280 Softball interview for her first interview, rolling out her new book, 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.399 first time she's ever really answered questions about that whole 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.440 period of her husband clearly not capable of being president anymore, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.960 and all that sort of stuff. Super Softball interview yesterday. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.679 Well they're getting harder little by little, And she was 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.000 on the Today Show today and I'm already reading some 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.080 of the clips from that. Was he slowing down a 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.600 little bit when he got tired? Did he stutter a 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.080 little bit at night? Yeah? Sure, but he was still 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.680 doing the job, and he was doing a good job 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.640 to the whole. She didn't see him, you know, flagging 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.080 it all. Did he stutter a little bit at night? 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.760 Oh my god, going with the stutter, still claiming that 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:12.120 that was what. Guy's got a stutter anyway. I had 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.320 a kef care as she does more interviews, will and 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.360 I have a feeling she's gonna get pressed more and 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.639 more as she does more. Stephen A. Smith on CNN 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.160 yesterday blast in some of our answers as ridiculous, And 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.480 everybody's got the same take on that whole. I thought 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.320 he was having a stroke thing. It's either a lie 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.560 or you're a bad human being, though those are the 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.800 only two options. You're either lying that you thought he 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.400 was having a stroke, or you're a horrible human being 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.120 that said, I think he's having a stroke, but I'm 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.919 gonna take him out to the waffle house later. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.360 Anyway, Well, if you were to accept that scenario as 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.120 even being conceivable, you'd be a terrible human being and 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.400 a moron, because if you're going to use the guy, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.080 you'd want to get him treatment for his stroke so 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.160 you could continue to use him. Leaving a stroke untreated 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.360 is not a strategy for anyone. So that that idea 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.160 is so completely implausible, I mean, which obviously you know, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.320 it's just almost a hilarious lie. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.040 Only the stupidest stupid though good believe it. Well, the 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.640 interview chick, Lady Chick, she's sixty five years old, but 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.920 the woman interviewing, Jill Bible, she is seventy five. If 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.839 she was a day on CBS yesterday, I just said, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.840 oh really, that must have been scary. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.880 It was two old bats chatting that. It was ridiculous. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.800 It wasn't a journalism and in any shape or form. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.880 Okay, maybe more on that later. Jill's gonna do more interviews, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.080 and they're gonna get harder the further she goes along. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.360 Big race, two big races in California for governor and 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.440 for mayor of Los Angeles, one for mayor for LA. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.560 He's gotten more attention for whatever reason. Part of it 0:03:53.600 --> 0:04:00.000 because uh Spencer Pratt and his style, his free wheeling 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.960 Trump like style and all the cool AI ads he's 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.880 put out and everything like that. But he's done a 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.400 couple more interviews pretty much constantly leading up to the 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.000 primary tomorrow, running against the sitting mayor, Karen Bess. Here's 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.160 a little Spencer Pratt. Would you vote for me? 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.359 It's gonna just be a mandate and change. Enough is enough. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.160 I'm the one with compassion, no matter what these people 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.520 tell you. I don't want people dying on the street. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.080 I don't want our tax money going to the needles 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.039 to kill these people. I want to get them in treatment. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.359 I want to help them. I want to help the dogs. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:31.640 I have a heart. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.760 I don't know what's going on in the city of 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.080 LA but I do care, and I'm going to continue 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.760 to care, and I'm gonna fight for If it is 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.320 eight years to make all the changes we need, it'll 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.000 be eight years. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.400 It's worked for a long time, the whole. If you 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.480 want to do anything about drug addicts on the street. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.479 You're hardhearted and mean as opposed to we'll just let 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.080 the population grow and let them live on the street. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.200 That's the compassionate one, and. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.400 Let them die of overdoses. Yeah, he goes on, this is. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.279 The greatest in the whole country. This is the best city 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.200 in the nation, and we can get it to be 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.159 the number one place on earth. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.039 We gotta fight. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.720 We just can't sit back. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.279 Everyone needs to do their part. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.640 I'll do mine, but I need everyone to come together 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.680 and we'll change it together. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.479 Okay, So what's his opponent? Is likely opponent because I 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.000 think tomorrow, according to the polls, it's gonna be narrowed 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.880 down to him and the city mayor Bass. This is 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.000 what she's had to say. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.440 Well, I think for the undecided voters to understand that 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.840 they have a choice to make, and that choice is 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.960 a Reality TV villain. Really, how did that work for 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.239 us on a national level? 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:39.960 That's one choice. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.560 The other choice is a city council person who's been 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.279 in city hall twice as long as I have. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.920 Okay, So she's building up the other competitor in the race, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.640 who's a distant third in the poland currently whatever her 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.920 name is, I forget. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.280 She's Democratic Socialist of America. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:04.080 Ken. Yeah, the whole Trump was a reality star. So 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.520 because this guy was on a reality whatever. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.760 Good argument more from the mayor to me, that's one 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.640 of the most important issues in our city is people 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.320 feeling safe. You can't feel safe that there's an encampment there. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.839 It's not safe for the people in the encampment, and 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.600 it's not safe for the people around. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.800 How do you do business what? I don't know what 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.680 her point was there. I don't know what that clip was. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.719 There are encampments because you've allowed the encampments to be there, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:36.120 so i'd need to hear that in context. Wow, I 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:36.680 saw one. 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.680 He will get this stupid vote the stupid I always 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.839 vote Democrat vote. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.800 Yeah, Well, I don't know if it's all stupid people. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:50.160 It's people who just are scared to death of ever 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.239 changing party or feel like they'd be betraying their family 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.440 and friends or something if they ever voted for a 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.080 different party. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.719 It's that's what's the word stupid. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.000 Anyway, go ahead, We're going to narrow it down to 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.040 the two tomorrow. I would guess Spencer Pratt and the. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:20.520 Sitting Mare I'm looking at the San Francisco Chronicles endorsement 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.640 of Scott Wiener, who's one of the worst people on earth. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.160 He wants man boy love and sex changes for confused 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:33.239 autistic children and just you know, legalized prostitution, street walkers 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:40.200 walking by your kids' school, and gosh, where's their summary? 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.160 Do you want vibes or do you want a man 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:50.600 who will fight for the things that matter LGBTQ protections, healthcare? 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:58.880 And he wants to replace Nancy Pelosi in her congressional seat. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.040 all right, I'm not even gonna which Nancy Pelosi held 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.280 since pre electricity. That's correct. 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.920 God dag it. This is so annoying and your sight sucks, Chronicle. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.960 Throw that into the indictment. It's unusable. All right, good, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.720 finally got away from it. Yeah, so you asked yes 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:24.800 or last hour? Will California become more like Texas? Or 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.200 will Texas become more like California over time? 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:29.080 Yeah? 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.360 I'm trying not to let my father be the wishes 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.400 of my thoughts. I see signs of turnarounds, and like 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.559 Portland for a glimmer there in Oregon as a whole, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.199 a little bit in Washington State. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:42.719 But I don't know. 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.640 I don't know if the Chronicle is endorsing Scott efing Wiener. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:48.839 Oh my god. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:50.040 Yeah. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.560 So back to the LA Mayor's race. Spencer Pratt had 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.280 a good one over the weekend, I thought with the 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.440 their writing my ads for me, and it was a 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.400 picture of a one of the voting boxes where you 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.360 can drop off the votes, which is a ridiculous way 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.600 to a little election. Just have a box somewhere where 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.480 everybody goes and drops whoever wants to drop them off, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.040 and they go who knows where but the street people, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.480 drug addicts sleeping around the box. Sheet had to climb 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.440 over drug addicts to put your ballot into the box. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.959 Wow, that is right in his ads for him. Wow, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:33.160 that's a good one. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.640 Is they need help, they need compassion, we need funding 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:41.280 for homeless programs. Answers more than half the electorate of 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.240 Kelly Nigornea. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.840 So before we take a break, you said there was 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:50.080 some reaction to my rant. I went on Friday after 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.880 the show and the One More Thing podcast. It's the 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:58.199 cursingest podcast we've ever put out. So if you was horrified. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.840 If you like f bombs, endless f bombs, that's the 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.680 one to listen to. One more thing, as I was 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.400 quite angry, as I often am, about trying to deal 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.160 with websites and do paperwork and all that sort of stuff. 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:16.240 Interestingly, we received a number of reactions via email, but 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.439 a handful of them were folks who have to deal 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.400 with the VA and have said I've just given up. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.640 I just call now and wait till a human can 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.080 talk to me because I cannot use the website. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:27.720 Doesn't know. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.440 I can't attest to that personally, but I found that 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:32.440 very very troubling. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.960 Yeah, one of the ones that stymied me last week 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.640 was the DMV website, and I just kept doing it 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.199 over and over again, which is supposed to be the faster, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.839 easier way to do it's the way they want you 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.839 to do it, and it just kept, you know, type 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.080 in all the information, go through the whole thing every 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.160 single time. That's just cannot process your action at this time, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.000 Try again later, mm F you and the horse f 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.920 and wrote in on so, yeah, I've hearn that, but 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.600 can AI really take over the world when we're still 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.000 stuck with this? Are those such different categories they don't 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.040 have anything to do with each other. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.400 I don't know, I would be guessing I liked talk 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.839 to the human beings. It usually went very well. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.520 God dang it, no kidding, that's never coming back, though, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.040 that'll never come back, hopefully. I guess. The only hope 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.400 is AI gets so good that it'll be like talking 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.080 to a human being and they can handle the subtleties 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.360 of your problem, because we all know that's the current. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.240 There's no subtlety at all. They give you like three 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.400 categories to choose from, and your problem is not one 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.280 of those three, So you guess which one's the closest 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.559 you go from there? Yeah, you're right. 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.320 I think about various inquiries I've made to the AI 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.599 chat pots, and they do a good job with subtlety 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:51.600 and detail. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.640 Yeah, so yeah, maybe, wow, that'd be something if there's 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.960 a return to customer service through AI. Now today, we 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.680 mentioned earlier in the show, Florida just sued chat GPT. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.360 It's the first state suing a big chat bot for 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.840 being all kinds of bad, including making us dumber. They're 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:11.320 suing them for making us dumber. 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.960 Yeah, and I didn't have that much hand room already, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.400 I s I don't appreciate it. I like the voicemail syster. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.040 What do you call it? 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.400 The phone tree, the voice activated? What's that's whatever the 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.280 term is. I love the ones that have gone to 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.319 a lot of trouble that the almost always a woman, 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.640 because people tend to get less angry at women. They 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.520 went to a great deal of trouble to make sure 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.679 the inflections are very human sounding. Hmm. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.400 Let me check into that for you, right. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.760 You know, but they're every bit as bad as the 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.840 tell me what you're looking for? Change account number? Would 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.319 you like to check your balance? No, like to change 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.080 my number? Would you like to check your balance? 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.440 Hmm? Let me work on that. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.160 And I swear there's a direct correlation between how how 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.079 hard they work on making it sounds human and how 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.720 completely affing not human it is. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.920 You just saying that this is making my heart I 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.600 wish I had a heart monitor on. I'm sure my 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.520 heart started beating faster and my blood pressure started going up. Gott. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.720 I hate dealing with that sort of thing. It's so 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.400 frustrating there. I don't know, there's some uncanny valley thing 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.280 happening there to where it's just like I'm being stymied 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.400 by something that's kind of human but not. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.160 Then the punchline is always having given up on the website, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.880 you Dilley eight hundred number, and the first thing they 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.720 tell you on the eight hundred number is, you know 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.000 you can get faster service through the website. And I'd 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.160 like to crawl through that phone and choke you out. 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.839 Oh boy, Uh yeah. Joe Biden's doing more interviews, got 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.880 some hilarious answers of all other things on the way 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:46.360 stay here. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.840 Probably a big Twitter and fiftieth birthday party for America Concert. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:03.440 They announced the lineup Vanilla Ice, I'm not making that 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.600 Vanilla Ice, Milli, Vanilli, Morris Day, Bretton Michaels. I think 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.240 this is very admirable about the president. It shows he's 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.800 concern for the unemployed. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.720 And then. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.360 And then after they announced this all star lineup, a 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.280 lot of them said, no, what are you talking about? 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:26.160 We're not playing. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.680 That's got to hurt a lot when you can't close 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.520 the deal with Milly Vanilla. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.760 So I didn't follow this story of the weekend. I 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.640 just saw the headlines. So were those people booked? And 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.120 I mean, was that gonna be the show? I'm gonna 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.680 start and the lead singer from Poison or whatever that is. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.600 Or whatever that is. Yeah, all right, here's the thing. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:58.120 You got two different groups, the Trump aligned Freedom two 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:04.960 fifty and the bipartisan allegedly Congress Established America to fifty 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:12.440 are both like planning separate events, different events. Okay, The 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.840 Trump aligned Freedom two fifty planned what actually sounded cool. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.320 It was a. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.360 Two week long, little more than two week long Great 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.480 American State Fair on the National Mall, which would have 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.560 displays from all the states and what makes them unique 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.960 and blah blah blah, and then musical performances including country 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.600 singer Martina McBride and rocker Brett michaels Well. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.280 Whoa did did did? He did? Some of his His 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.760 calendar app said it was nineteen ninety one and he 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.000 had the year wrong. Martina McBride, I'm a country music fan. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.960 I played all her songs when she was a big deal. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:54.800 Working at a bar in the early nineties. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.280 Having passed the topmost part of the barrel and the 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.560 kind of middle top of the barrel, in the middle 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.280 of the barrel, and then the lower regions of the barrel, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.520 I believe we're at the bottom of the barrel, Brett, 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.920 Michael's a motley crew, which one is? 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:15.800 Which hair band is? 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:15.920 He? 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.600 No poison poison? 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.320 Guess I only know that because I'm looking at a 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.160 picture of him and he's got a poison t shirt on. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.680 So I was right the first time. He's poisoned. But 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.600 he's got to be my age, He's gotta be sixty 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.320 something something like that. Yeah. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.320 Anyway, so it was gonna have the displays in one 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.960 hundred and ten foot ferris wheel. But then within days 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.680 of the announcement, McBride and Michael's in many of the 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.400 other performers Withdrew saying they didn't know was a political event. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.440 They thought it was like the Congressional two hundred and 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.240 fiftieth anniversary. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.359 Thing, and it wasn't. It was Trump's right. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:50.600 And Trump responded to this in Trump and Fashion, saying, quote, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.600 I'm thinking about bringing the number one attraction anywhere in 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.960 the world, the man who gets much larger audiences than 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.960 Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.800 announcing himself as the headliner. And he would just do 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.960 one of his political rally monologues there at the Big 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.359 America State Fair singing. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.400 Well, if the competition was Brett Michaels, I think he's 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:14.200 a better choice. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.880 Well, Lenny true stout insults towards the third rate artists. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.920 Dude flaked from the show, and it's all. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:27.040 Kind of do you think you could be blinded by love? 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.720 Of course I could be blinded by love. I hope 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.239 that I am blinded by love. But that's what you know, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.359 People say what a great president he was. You know, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.919 he was kind, he was empathetic, he was strong, he 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:46.840 was steady, He he did things for the good of 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.280 American people, and I mean he was he was a 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:56.000 leader on the world stage, and I think that'll be 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:56.880 Joe's legacy. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.000 I assume CBS got that first interview by a great 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.159 to certain terms for that interview, which is why it 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:09.000 was such a practically puff piece. I mean, yeah, it 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:14.040 was embarrassing. But you could have, as the interviewer say, 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.520 on the day that he dropped out, his approval rating 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.120 was I think thirty seven percent and was very low 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.680 in his own party, and then. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.840 Of Americans thought he was too old and senile, and 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:34.640 then bother you let her respond to that. I'm sure 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.840 she would have blamed the biased conservative media that we 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.280 all complain about all the time. So doctor Jill has 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.159 taken a break from her medical practice to continue the 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.440 interview circuit. And here she is on the Today Show 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.320 talking to one Craig Melvin. 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.320 In the days and weeks after that, you continue to 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.760 insist that the president was fine. How do you square 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.480 thinking that he may have had a stroke with what 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.679 you were saying in the days and weeks after, how do. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:02.040 You square this? 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.399 So we go to the next event and I'm thinking, 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.399 what do I say that we'll lift him up that 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.119 is true. I want to say the things that are true. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.720 And so I said, you know you answered every question. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:12.760 My mind's racing. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:13.639 You know, it's a. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.720 Pretty low bar well. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.399 And so you know I had to sort of lift 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:19.840 him up. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:21.440 I mean, I'm his wife. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.440 I'm not going to get out on the stage there 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.159 and say, Joe, you really. 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:25.800 Screwed that up. 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.880 I mean, I and we have all our supporters there, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:33.040 so you know that was my That's who we are. 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.919 I mean, as I had to support him, I couldn't 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.760 come out and I mean really publicly say Joe, you 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:41.639 did a terrible job in that debate. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.960 I like, you answered all the questions as a pretty 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.280 low bar. That pretty funny. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.560 I'm supposed to just stand there and look at But 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.560 his question was how do you square fear? And he 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.160 had a stroke. With all the things you said after, 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:01.840 we're not talking about publicly, you're trotting about the campaign 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.680 event after event. You never went to the doctor. I mean, 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.280 come on, come on. 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.160 You answered all the questions yet on the questions. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.000 Such a great job. You answered every question. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.359 You answered every question is supposed to just stood there 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:25.520 and stared and then babbled incoherently about killing medicare. Wow. 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.000 These these interviews are gonna get tougher as she goes along. Now, 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.240 maybe she's cutting off after just a couple of days. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.359 I don't know, but she's done. She did CBS puff 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.320 Piece yesterday. Today's show sounds a little tougher. I think 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:39.320 she's doing CNN. 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:39.600 I don't. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:40.880 I don't know how many more she's. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.000 Gonna do when she's doing Morning Joe. Do you know 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:43.879 that's tomorrow? 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:44.480 Tomorrow? 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.919 Okay, So here's the way this is gonna go, and 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.440 then we'll play you another clip. She is going to 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.080 go one interview too long? 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:53.520 Yep. 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.240 Yeah, as the questions get more pointed, and that will 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:03.520 be a veritable blood a what's the word A, Well, 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:08.200 it'll be a bloodbath in terms of embarrassment and sputtering, 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:09.600 and in. 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.040 The rest it'll be terrible. 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.400 And then she will announce she's not doing any more 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.480 interviews except carefully selected. 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.320 Ones, like happened with us. We were supposed to interview 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.480 Aunica Lewinsky and somebody hit her with some like really 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.680 really hard questions and she canceled the rest of the 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.920 She didn't do any more interviews. That's like an hour 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.159
