00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: signor We are in a dimly lit room deepening the

5
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Today and

6
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: today Wednesday? Is that right? Middle of the week. We're

7
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: under the tutelage of our general manager. Oh my god,

8
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: Epstein again. No, you can't, Yes, you can't, you can't,

9
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: you can you must shout wow. Congress got called off

10
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson if that is his real name, the speaker.

11
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: He said, all right, that's enough argument about Epstein. We're

12
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: all going home. I'm taking my gavel and going home.

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: There's more to it than that, and we'll tell you

14
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, look forward to that, do I? And

15
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't look forward to that. I'm whying. That was

16
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: a lie. That was a lie for me. If I

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: hooked up to a light detector, a gun, a little need,

18
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: a little bounce, stuff and down, I'm not looking forward

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: to that at all. No. Indeed, yeah, hey, I just

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: heard Scott bestn't the Treasury Secretary say something interesting about

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: and then it kind of relates to a story he

22
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: didn't get to yesterday. He said, So it was about

23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: the tariff deals, and so Trump's got a new deal

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: with Japan, which is a really you know, major economy.

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: It's top five time. Yeah, so Japan, Philippines and somebody else.

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: But anyway, and then there was the talk of how

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: this increase in the tariffs with these countries is gonna

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: cause prices to go up inflation and blah blah blah blah,

29
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: and the Scott Best at the Treasury Secretary he said,

30
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened yet, and I don't think it's going

31
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: to happen because retailers are absorbing the costs for themselves

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: into their profits. So people are not seeing the price

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: go up, which is true to a certain extent, but

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's for the reason that they like

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. So you had the story the other day

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: about how Amazon stuff has gone up, but Walmart stuff

37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: has gone down. So there is a battle going on

38
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: between the two biggest retailers in the world, Amazon and Walmart,

39
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: and they're trying to keep prices down and undercutting each

40
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: other partially at least According to a couple of economists

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I was listening to, this is going to drive out

42
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: the last remaining little guy in America or the world

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: because they can't do that. So you're a mom and

44
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: pop shop. You can't absorb the tariff causing the stuff

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: to go up the way Amazon and Walmart can, and

46
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you might disappear and then and then it's just Walmart

47
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and Amazon, which is my goal. Yeah, my only equival

48
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: is that Amazon did go up. It's trying the opposite

49
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: strategy because they have the advantage in Walmart does too,

50
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: really of having instantaneous data about how a price increase

51
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: or decrease affects the consumer. How much less tisity elasticity

52
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: there is nearly instantaneously, which has just been unknown to

53
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the world of economics. So Bezos in company obviously are

54
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: seeing saying, let's see if we can get away with

55
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: tweaking some prices upward. Meanwhile, over there in Arkansas, Walmart's saying, hey,

56
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: here's a chance for us to recapture a significant chunk

57
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: of market share. We're gonna take it in the in

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the crotch for a quarter or two. Sorry, it's unnecessarily frank,

59
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna take it into pants, as they used to say,

60
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: take it up rotch. What does that mean? Right, We're

61
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get to We're gonna get kicked, We're

62
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna get hit profit wise for a couple of quarters.

63
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: The total of tough the total of my official economics learning,

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the one economics class. I took microeconomics in college, and

65
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I remember ever of the phrase taking it in the crotch. Well,

66
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: that's you didn't send Joe University. Our lessons are frank,

67
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: They're really take it to the point. Yeah. So anyway,

68
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: they're going to take a kick in the grown there

69
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: for a couple but they're trying to recapture market share,

70
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: which is a very different strategy than an Amazon. Well yeah,

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: but I think the argument was Amazon would be raising

72
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: their prices probably even more if they weren't looking at

73
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Walmart across the transom or whatever they're looking what are

74
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: they looking at them across I don't know, the crotch,

75
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: right across the crotch, oh my So, and it remains

76
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: that the little guy is not going to be able

77
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: to play that game on any level. You just have

78
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: to charge what you know you got charged when it

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: got dropped off at your toy shop or whatever, so

80
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: you can still make payroll and keep the lights on. Yeah, exactly.

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Scott Bessont is Trump's sanity whisperer. He has pulled Trump

82
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: back from several self destructive ideas. I appreciate his presence there.

83
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: I think he's a good man. On the other hand,

84
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: in this topic, he's full of crap and he knows

85
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: he is. I'm sure the reason you just mentioned it,

86
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: and also because a lot of wholesalers and retailers saw

87
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: the tariffs coming because Trump bellowed about them for a

88
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: long time, and they significantly increase their inventories, and so

89
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: there's a delayed effect to the tariffs and their inflationary effects.

90
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: I sure hate the last of the little guys getting

91
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: driven out of business, but it might just be inevitable

92
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: that the current structure of economics in the world, mom

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: and pop shops of all different kinds that we all liked,

94
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: toy shops, bookshops, whatever, just can't exist. Really, unless you're

95
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: doing it as a hobby, you can't do it as

96
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: a profit business. I love localism, I always have, but

97
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the Interstate Highway set it back a certain amount because

98
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: it just it never made sense to have a like

99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: a beyond a regionable regional grocery chain or something like that.

100
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: It would just be too expensive and cumbersome. Then the

101
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: interstate highways helped, and then you have the advent of

102
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: the Internet, and then the instantaneous data availability and just

103
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: in time shipping and blah blah blah. It just there's

104
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: nothing to grow. The local little guys. They have no

105
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: advantage other than charm service. You know them, You can

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: count on them that sort of getting to see the

107
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: product in person and hold it in your hand, which

108
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: is sometimes nice. Yeah, it is good, but you know what,

109
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: people will vote with their dollars, and they are voting.

110
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: So am I unfortunately? I mean, it's just too damned

111
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: convenient to order laying on my couch and having it

112
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: at my door in a couple hours from Amazon. So

113
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: my headline is Jack Armstrong cries about the quote unquote

114
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: guy while thumbing away at Amazon day in day out.

115
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm a blocracy, folks. I guess I'm to blame. We

116
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: should start to show officially because the opening clip I

117
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: find amusing. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.

118
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: It is as I said Wednesday, July twenty third, they

119
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: are twenty twenty five Armstrong Getty and we do approve

120
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: of this program. All right, let's begin then officially according

121
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: to FCC rules and riggs.

122
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: Here we go at markhould I, we have breaking news

123
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 2: as we come on the air, Ozzy Osbourne has died.

124
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: That It was the lead words from David Muir on

125
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: ABC News. The most important thing that happened on Earth

126
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: was the passing of the near octagenarian metal singer. Some

127
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: days the bat bites you, Ozzy Osbourne has died. Can

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I hear that again? I just found his seriousness and

129
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: it being the lead I found amusing touldit.

130
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: We have breaking news as we come on the air,

131
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: Ozzy Osbourne has died.

132
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: So I realize they're in a for profit business and

133
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the majority of people would

134
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: be most interested in and stick around for. It's the

135
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: same day the sitting president accused a previous president of treason. Yes,

136
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: and the lead story was, well, as you just heard

137
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: one more.

138
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Time tonight, we have breaking news as we come on

139
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: the air, Ozzy Osbourne has died.

140
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you were unfamiliar with mister Osborne

141
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: is over asking somebody who is who is this? Ozzy

142
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Osbourne is the Speaker of the House? Is he the president?

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm practically that guy. I could not know less about Osborne.

144
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: I have no opinion on Ozzy Osbourne because I've never

145
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't know his music, I never watched his show.

146
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: He seems to be beloved by a certain group of

147
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: left school I wanted to be a plumber. Joe was

148
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: a plumber. That's him. There a bit of a substance

149
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: habit there through the years. Yeah, Ozzy is a pop

150
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: culture curiosity in that the ridiculous but endearing MTV reality

151
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: show The Osborne's elevated his you know, his cultural his

152
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: Q factor. They cat campiness beyond any justification. I mean, okay,

153
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, give the people what they want. I agree.

154
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: Breaking news. As we come on the air this evening,

155
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: we'll play some Osborne has died. We'll play some of

156
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,359
Speaker 1: the clips. Trump has accused the former president of treason,

157
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: which is a you know, in a previous era, like

158
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: ten years ago, would have been a holy crap, everything

159
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: comes to a stop sort of claim. Now it just

160
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: kind of gets lost in the mix of celebrity deaths. Right,

161
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: It's just we say all kinds of stuff all the time.

162
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: But what Trump said, Obama actually replied to it in

163
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: a jumping into the politics of the day. So we

164
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: got all that for You often asked do we go

165
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: back to something closer to normal after Trump passes from

166
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the political scene, And not entirely, But I've seen several

167
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: examples lately, where like Pam Bondi, for instance, tries to

168
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: be Trump, tries to be trumpy, makes a giant promise

169
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and then never delivers it really or delivers in some

170
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: form and just laughs it off and then launches several

171
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: other sensation missiles to distract everybody. But nobody's as good

172
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: at it as Trump. They try it, but they fall

173
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: on their faces. So for whatever reason, this is the magic,

174
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what it is. Trump paters. It really

175
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: drives Trumpeter's crazy. Why does this not stick to him?

176
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Everything comes off different out of Trump. It just I

177
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: don't know why. Well, he's utterly shameless. He is incapable

178
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: of shame. But I used to think things would go

179
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: back to normal ish. That was pre second term. By

180
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: the time Trump is out of office, we will have

181
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: traversed twelve years of American life, and I have a

182
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: lot of people that there, their whole political lives of

183
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: paying attention to politics has been this. So I just

184
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's ever going to go back. Yeah,

185
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: you're probably right. Yeah, wow, Epstein was the general manager.

186
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: There is some crazy media jiu jitsu jiu jitsu judo

187
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: going on around the whole Epstein story that is really

188
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty clever from the Democrats standpoint, and I think they're

189
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: pulling it off. Uh, it's wild. Who's in the highway

190
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: seat over this now? When there's still still I don't

191
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: think any there there. Yeah, there are some very strange bedfellows. Yeah, God,

192
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: I well, there's there's plenty of there there. It just

193
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: depends what they're you're talking about. We've been discussing, Yeah,

194
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: we do. You would you like the the Epstein Senior Special,

195
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: it's a lighter portion. Would you like the full Epstein?

196
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: Would you like the Epstein with all the fixings? Or

197
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: would you like the Epstein Fancy Feast, which includes he's

198
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: a massage agent and the Jews run the world. They're

199
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: like at least four distinct versions of what people mean

200
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: by the Epstein thing, So we'll have to get into that,

201
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other stuff coming up. We

202
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: got headlines in just a moment's stay right here. We're

203
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: about to jump in some of the headlines that are

204
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: out there. This one just came across the eight EPA.

205
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: The Environmental Protection Agency is said to draft a plan

206
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: to end its ability to fight climate change. Here's a

207
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: sub paragraph on this. According to two people familiar with

208
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: the draft, it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that

209
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: greenhouse gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet,

210
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: which obviously would change all of their goals and things

211
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: that they're trying to constantly accomplish there at the EPA.

212
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: Seems like a major change. Don't know how long I

213
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: suppose it hang around to the end of this administration,

214
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: right the Democrat gets elected, then it's back to it's

215
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: the biggest problem in the world. Uh. Perhaps, Yeah, But

216
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: I think the bloom is really off of the rows

217
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: of you know, existential threat you've stolen by dreams. The

218
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: oceans will be boiling, the Hawaiian islands will disappear by

219
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. I just that whole thing feels past me,

220
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: So they might try to drag it back in that direction,

221
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's going to be a tougher sled

222
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: than it used to be. The proposed EPA Agency rule

223
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: recinds the two thousand and nine declaration known as the

224
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Endangerment Finding, which scientifically established that greenhouse gases endanger human lives.

225
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: And then all of the things are many of the

226
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: things that we hate that have happened in the United

227
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: States have come from that two thousand and nine declaration,

228
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: and you know, forcing electric cars on us and all

229
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: kinds of different things. And the Trump administration is ending

230
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: that how dams you so interesting? Elections? Elections matter? Yeah,

231
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: they absolutely do, and the next one sure will too,

232
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: although that doesn't mean I want to talk about it

233
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: interestingly enough. The hot topic no pun intended in European

234
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: politics is air conditioning. Europe is much less air conditioned

235
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: than the United States, partly because you know, a lot

236
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: of it's fairly far north in near oceans and stuff

237
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: like that, and they just really haven't needed it. But

238
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: it's getting warmer in recent years. And it's like how

239
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: in San Francisco in the Bay Area, there's a lot

240
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: less air conditioning there is than where I'm from, sure, right,

241
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: But as it has gotten warmer in Europe the last

242
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: several years, heat waves coming a little earlier and staying

243
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: a little longer, they're arguing about whether to have air

244
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: conditioning or not. And interestingly, the right wing is saying, yeah,

245
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: get some air conditioning up in her it's two damn hot,

246
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: But the lefties are saying soccer blue, No, this will

247
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: exascerbits global warming. And the air conditioners vent heat, right,

248
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: they remove heat. They don't actually you know, well's I

249
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: don't want to explain air conditioning, but so they have

250
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: to vent the hot air into the streets. That'll make

251
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: it even worse. And the sweaty Frenchmen are saying, I

252
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: don't care. That sounds like a U problem. I want

253
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: air conditioning in my house. Well, I wish them well.

254
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Judy and I are going to Europe in a few weeks,

255
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: to London in a few weeks, and I rented a flat,

256
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: as they say, over there with air conditioning. Bye God.

257
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Because I'm an American, all right, I'm not gonna sit

258
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: there tossed and turning in my euro juices, trying to

259
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: sleep after a long day of touristing and eating and drinking.

260
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some ac. One of my favorite headlines

261
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: from yesterday also had anything to do with the Trump administration.

262
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: The US Olympic Committee bans transgender athletes in compliance with

263
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: the Trump order. So US Olympics not gonna do it.

264
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Not gonna play that game. And we've been wondering about

265
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: that for a long time. If this stuff would rise

266
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: from high school track to it already was in college swimming,

267
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: in all kinds of sports, what is it gonna go

268
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: to the Olympics? Not under Trumpet's not not well, It's

269
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: gone backward in a lot of areas or levels of sports. Hey, Michael,

270
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: play clip fifteen for me.

271
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender

272
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: women from competing in women's sports. The panel tells the

273
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: federations overseeing swimming, athletics other sports it has an obligation

274
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: to comply with an executive order issued by President Trump.

275
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: The change follows a similar step taken by the NCAA

276
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: earlier this year.

277
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: I was so annoyed by that, I tweeted at Britt

278
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: Bear's crew. It will do no good. They won't even

279
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: see it. I'm sure, but the US Olympic Committee is

280
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: barred trans women from the sport. Don't call dudes women.

281
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Trans women is the verbiage of the radical gender theory crowd. Brett,

282
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: stop it. Well, the confusing thing there is them banning

283
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: these people is a declaration that we don't believe they're women. Right,

284
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: that's what they're declaring. Yeah, we're no dudes allowed. I

285
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: mean that those statements don't go together. You can't say

286
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: we banned women from women's sports. That wouldn't make sense

287
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: slip at the top. So they banned what they believe

288
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: are dudes from women's sports. Well, because they're dudes, that's

289
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: why they believe it. Yes, Artro and the.

290
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: Justice Department had an idea of what was really in

291
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: the FBI records of the Epstein case. They released a

292
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 4: joint statement saying he wasn't murdered in prison, there was

293
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 4: no conspiracy, there is no clients list, and we're never

294
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 4: going to say anything about this again. That of course

295
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 4: just spurred more conspiracy theories. So you have to ask yourself,

296
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 4: what is in there that is so concerning that they

297
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 4: don't want to let it out? Is it they over

298
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 4: promised and the answer is nothing or is there some

299
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: smoking gun in there that scares them first one?

300
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Yeah, Jonathan John Miller there on CNN

301
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: stoking the fire from the left that maybe Trump was

302
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: like the co rapist with Epstein and he was there

303
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: at all the parties. Let's push this. Plus it's dividing

304
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: the Republicans, so let's let's push it as far as

305
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: we can. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I don't know, I

306
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: mean hoisting them on their own petard as it is said.

307
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you created this whole mess by making all

308
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: kinds of claims for a long time, not Trump himself,

309
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: but a lot of the big Trump voices out there, right. Uh.

310
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: One of all I have is like the anecdotal evidence

311
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: that I get through a few people I talked to

312
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: in texts. We get in that sort of stuff of

313
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: how some of you feel about this? Who are really

314
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: into this story? One of the biggest Trump supporters I

315
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: know told me it seems to me that Trump is

316
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: in on it too, and it's very disappointing to me.

317
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: But have you seen the videos and have you seen

318
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: the videos? Asking Joe? There are videos going around of

319
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: young women where these videos came from. And what the

320
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: context is I don't know, but it's young women talking

321
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: about Trump raping them, having sex with them when they

322
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: were under age at these parties. These are videos that

323
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: are floating around. No, I've not seen nor heard.

324
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: No.

325
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have come across these either, but they're floating

326
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: around in the world of people who believe that Epstein

327
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: was the top of a child pedophile ring that the

328
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Democrats have been running with Hollywood for decades, which is

329
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: why the Democrats are pushing so hard now to release

330
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. I guess there's some explanation as far

331
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: as these things go. Well, they'll explain what you mean

332
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: by that. Why I believe the Democrats are pushing hard

333
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: to release them because they know there's nothing there, and

334
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: so it just is it puts the Republicans in an

335
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: awkward situation. All right, Well, before we get further down

336
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the road of analyzing what happened, let's tell the good

337
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: folks what happened. It's forty we're gonna be talking about trade.

338
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: From trade.

339
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 5: Meeting with the Philippine President was dominated by questions about

340
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 5: other matters, including why the Justice Department now wants to

341
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: meet with Gallaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime associate who's serving

342
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 5: twenty years in a Florida federal prison.

343
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

344
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: I don't know about it, but I think it's something

345
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: that would be sounds appropriate to do you do.

346
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: You have any concern that your Deputy Attorney General, who's

347
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 5: your former attorney, would be conducting the interview given no,

348
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 5: I have no been sure. The news comes the same

349
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: day House Speaker Mike Johnson cut the House session short

350
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 5: to avoid votes about whether the government's Epstein files should

351
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 5: be made public.

352
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: So that's the lead. The whole furor over you know

353
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: what to disclose when and how brought the House of

354
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Representatives to a standstill. So Johnson, the leadership cut short

355
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: this week's session, put off any action until September because

356
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: some GOP members were demanding votes on more releases and

357
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: wanted to go further down that road. And Johnson's like,

358
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: all right, this has gotten out of control. We're done. Well,

359
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: here's one of them here, Representative Timberchett, who runs one

360
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: of the committees that can look into this. This is

361
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: what he said last night.

362
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: People asking is going to cost me politically, and I say, well, sure,

363
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: it is sure.

364
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: It is. It makes peopel uncomfortable, but it's it doesn't

365
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: have anything to do with that has to do it.

366
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: We've got to do what's right, and this is direct

367
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: thing today as far as I see it.

368
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: He seems to actually believe, or enough of his constituents

369
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: believe that he has to represent them, that this is

370
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: the whole child peto ring thing. And it's ugly and

371
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to look at, but we've

372
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: got to do it. Yeah. Yeah, I've actually done a

373
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: ton of reading about this in the last couple of days,

374
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: and one thing has become clear to me. There were

375
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of teenage girls who were

376
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: recruited and groomed and had illegal sexual stuff done with

377
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: them by Epstein and Ms Maxwell and quite a few

378
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: other people. And it is absolutely grist for the Mill.

379
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: And I think the Mill has gone crazy with the

380
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: whole Jews run a sex ring with the Democrat. That

381
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: all is looney tunes to me. But it's absolutely true

382
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: that the very rich and the very powerful have been

383
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: parting with Epstein and getting it on with teenage girls,

384
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: not children, but like sixteen seventeen year olds, and those

385
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: names have inexplicably been covered up for a very long time.

386
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: I was reading a very very responsible journalist who's been

387
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: following this story since the bust in Florida and the

388
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: unholy plea bargain that was struck with Epstein by a

389
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: prosecutor who later became Trump's Secretary of Labor, which doesn't

390
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: look great, but a completely corrupt plea bargain. And this

391
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: guy says, you know, the list of victims is huge,

392
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: and there were other people in on it, and we aughtit. No, Well,

393
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: do you think there's a list somewhere that the government

394
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: can release. There are many names within investigative files, and

395
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: that's where it gets Harry. If you're not going to

396
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: bring charges against somebody, you don't as a law enforcement agency,

397
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: you're certainly supposed to not not supposed to say, you know,

398
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: tell you what, Jack Armstrong's name kept coming up in

399
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: this investigation at parties with young girls. If you know

400
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, we don't have enough evidence to charge him,

401
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: but anyway, what a purv You can't do that? Well

402
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: you can if you're James Coleman, you're talking about Hillary Clinton.

403
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: She did enough here that you probably should charge her.

404
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to, but I mean it was ugly

405
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: right before the election. So yeah, what a whack of dude. Well,

406
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: that's the reason you don't want to do that sort

407
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: of stuff. That's a good example of why. Right, So,

408
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: and that's why the point, that's why I made the

409
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: point in the previous segment. The slippery difficult thing about

410
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: discussing this is that there are like the basic, the full,

411
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: the large, and the extra large version of what you

412
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: mean by the Epstein thing, And until you know which

413
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: one of those you're talking about, you don't know how

414
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Well, I think it's one hundred

415
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: percent legit that this guy was rich and powerful and

416
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: covered up four But a lot of the Trump surrogates

417
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: out there, you're Dan Bongino whatever, they were pushing the big, mega,

418
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: big kohna Epstein thing. Yes, they were pushing the whole

419
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: masade Epstein, hundreds of thousands of children and eyes. Craziness

420
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: that so many people, so many of you believe. I

421
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: don't believe it's true. So, but I think just on

422
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: the politics of it, I think it's incredibly cynical and

423
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: ugly for America. But I think the Democrats are pretty smart.

424
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: And the way they're handling this, the way they've turned

425
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: it completely around, and now it's a what are the

426
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: reports covering up? Why won't they release the files when

427
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing there? Right? So the Republicans are in the

428
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: tough position of, well, if we do release the files,

429
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: it will show that we really oversold this. I wish

430
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: we had and I should have asked for it. Somebody

431
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: asked Hakeem Jeffreys, the House Minority Leader, why didn't you

432
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: guys push for all this stuff to get released when

433
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: you had the White House, and you had the Justice Department,

434
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: and at some points you had in Congress. Blah blah blah,

435
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: And he unleashed a word salad that was kamala esque.

436
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: My respect for him as a politician, ak a liar

437
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: dropped a great deal because it was a pathetic attempt

438
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: to answer the question. He had no answer. I think

439
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: it probably worked. I think it's working. I don't like it.

440
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: It's cynical, but I think it's working. Most people are

441
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: not paying close enough attention or think about this stuff

442
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: enough to realize it doesn't make any sense. Speaker Johnson

443
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: tried it yesterday. He said, this doesn't make any sense.

444
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: If there is something damaging to Republicans while they were

445
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: in power for four years, they would have released it.

446
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: And that is some sort of smoking gun. A film

447
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: of Trump with a fourteen year old Oh they sat

448
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: on that right, really that place they made up laws

449
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: to prosecute him in New York. Obviously that makes no sense.

450
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: But I just I think they're counting on and I

451
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: think they're probably right the Democrats, that people aren't doing

452
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: the math on that, and they've managed to make this

453
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: look like I mean, even to Trump's supporters. Even Trump

454
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: supporters are feeling like they're hiding something. They won't release it.

455
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: Trump must be in on it. Yeah. Yeah, So I'm

456
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm of two minds on this. Number One, there have

457
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: been uh soft pedaling cover ups of the rich and

458
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: powerful one hundred percent. But if you were to say,

459
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: just release the grand jury transcripts, which a lot of

460
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: people have been demanding, and the judges say they're going

461
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: to release what they can, but not in a big hurry.

462
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if your name came up a couple

463
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: of times in the grand jury trial. You're innocent of

464
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: any crimes exactly, but you were there or you thought Yeah,

465
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: what the hell, I'll go to some Caribbean island party

466
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: for a while. He seems like a charming guy because

467
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Epstein was an utterly brilliant, sociopathic manipulator of people. That

468
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: much is clear. But can you imagine if your name

469
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: came up in that investigation a couple of times, you'd

470
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: be ruined. Yeah, and so the judges are trying to

471
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: be very careful. Anyway, more on this inevitably down the

472
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: line after a quick word from her friends at Simply

473
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: Safe Home Security. As concerned as I am about this

474
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: sort of thing, I'm more concerned about scumbags and junkies

475
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: breaking into my house and stealing my stuff or my

476
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: garage or whatever. And that's why Simply Safe Home Security

477

483
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: Simply Safe. To me, the proof is in the putting

484
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: of there are no contracts. They don't lock you in

485
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: thinking once you realize you don't actually use this thing,

486
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: or it's too difficult to work, or whatever, you're gonna

487
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: want to get out, so we're going to lock you

488
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: in for two years. Simply Safe doesn't have to do that.

497
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: you on your personal phone because I don't want to

498
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: put it out there and spread it. One of the

499
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: videos that was sent to me of a girl talking

500
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: about Trump raping or as a thirteen year old, or

501
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: that's the way it's portrayed. I I'm pretty cynical, as

502
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: you should realize as a listener, but I'm not so

503
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: cynical to believe that there are a variety of things

504
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: that can happen like Obama had a plan to invade

505
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: Texas or Trump raped a thirteen year old. I'm not

506
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: so cynical that I believe things like this can exist

507
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: and people would keep their mouths shut about it. All

508
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: people involved, like everybody, thousands of people would have to

509
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: keep their mouths shut about stuff like this. So I

510
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: don't believe these like really out there things that get

511
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: catch on in the world. I think I think some

512
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: people are actually believe it or not too cynical. M yeah,

513
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: or paranoid, I suppose, But you know that's in the

514
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: eye of the beholder. Henson, we need a wrench. I

515
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: can't keep my microphone from falling down or it's got

516
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: saggy Mike syn Nay, it's not any reflection on you.

517
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: It happens to everybody. As the age. I haven't had

518
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: enough sleep and I've had a couple of drinks and

519
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: I just can't keep this thing from Wow. Thanks for that.

520
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: So coming up next hour a couple of things I'm

521
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: really excited about. First of all, a brilliant bit of writing,

522
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: the sort of simplifying something eloquently that I love so much.

523
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: So I love quotes so much about tolerance that goes

524
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: too far. Absolutely wonderful wisdom about that, specifically in terms

525
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: of a particular political system that's also a religion that

526
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: wants to stamp out all tolerance. That's next hour plus.

527
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: The truth has finally come out, Jack, not about Epstein,

528
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: but about Kamala Harris and her job at McDonald's. Oh

529
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: about that, haven't we? Whether she actually worked at McDonald's

530
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: trust will shock you. That's what motivated the whole Trump

531
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: work in the drive through thing, wasn't it. This was

532
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: a great political stunts in American history. Did y'all hear

533
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: our podcast the other day, the One More Thing podcast

534
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: about the pet psychic? We got into that. I have

535
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: a little follow up on the pet psychics, those of

536
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: you who get pet psychics to figure out what your

537
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: dog thinks. Oh, we've got mail peg on the way.

538
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: Stay hear Brett Stevens, calumnist for the New York Times,

539
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: with an opinion piece today, and uh, kudos to the

540
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: New York Times for allowing him to write it and

541
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: printing it. No, Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza

542
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, which I imagine many people

543
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: in the Neru's newsroom really really hated. We'll get into

544
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: some of that later, didn't Thousands of people cancel their

545
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: subscriptions when The New York Times even hired Brett's Stevenson

546
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: to offer a somewhat different opinion than the progressive hymn book, Yeah,

547
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: people are rigid, aren't you. Here's your freedom love me

548
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: quote of the day. I love this from the Great

549
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Tom of Soul. The biggest and most deadly tax rate

550
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: on the poor comes from a loss of various welfare

551
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: state benefits, food stamps, housing subsidies, and the like if

552
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: their income goes up. That's the biggest and most deadly

553
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: tax rate on the poor. I would say it's incredibly

554
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: cruel too. We played the audio I don't know a

555
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: week or two ago of a mom demanding that her

556
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: son not get a job, him saying, I want to

557
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: make something in my life. I want to get a house,

558
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: I want to live like other people. She's like, I

559
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: will lose all my benefits if you do that, I'll

560
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: lose my benefits. That is just terrible, and the Left

561
00:32:51,360 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: portrays that his compassion. It's disgusting mail. Now I'm tempted.

562
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Let me read a couple and then something very very special. Okay,

563
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm betting, let's see, this is a freaking correspondent, Sean.

564
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm betting the Late Show does not come back after

565
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Colbert until after a year long show called America's Next

566
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Late Show Host. Here's the ad. Everyday Americans like your

567
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: neighbor and Dennis compete to be the next late show host.

568
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: Will it be your supermarket checker, your old history teacher,

569
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: will it be you? It's America's next late show host.

570
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: And of course that person, having been vaulted to fame

571
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: and a level of wealth they'd never imagined, We'll do

572
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: the job for a million and a half a year, say,

573
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: could happen? Let's see Adam mentions the voices of the left,

574
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Armstrong and getting one more thing podcast from the other day.

575
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 1: It's brilliant and should be featured weekly. Wow. The variety

576
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: of voices helped to highlight how a particular mindset can

577
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: be exploited. No matter who you are. You can do

578
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: the same thing with the extreme right, but the left

579
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: is just more unintentionally hilarious. Mmmm. Okay, thank you for

580
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: the note, and now a very special mail bag if

581
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember anytime you heard a very

582
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: special It meant that your show that was usually fun

583
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: or funny and lighthearted, was going to deal with some

584
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: terribly serious topic on a very special Happy Days, as

585
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: Johonzi is diagnosed with testicular cancer, Jony contemplates an abortion

586
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: right exactly well. On a very special mail bag, we

587
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: got this note from Mike, who says, I really loved

588
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: your quote about being in a pool of Satan's you're

589
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: in the other day. I couldn't remember it perfectly, chat

590
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: Gpt remembered it instantly. I decided to train it by saying,

591
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: this is my exact sense of humor, and it continued

592
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: to come back with more and more quotes from the show.

593
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: Below is a link to the full conversation. Incredible Wow.

594
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: And then Mike says, speaking for millions of people, I

595
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: didn't think was possible to replace Rush Limbaugh's a trustworthy, deadly,

596
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: instinctual political authority, but you guys have Wow. That's oh.

597
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: And he says more nice things, which I'll read to

598
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: you now. I love how balanced you are, with your

599
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: source of truth being freedom and the true American has

600
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: posted the majority of talk radio being borderlined. Christian nationalists

601
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: are overly overtly Republican. We just we just try to

602
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: be fair. But anyway, how did you it is? How

603
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: did chck GPT so quickly grab from transcripts? I don't know,

604
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: And I would like to point out to Mike that

605
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: the very people who decided who to replace Rush limp

606
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: Paul with specifically rejected us. Yes, repeatedly, too weird, too

607
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: many dick jokes. No, anyway, man, we have fun doing

608
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: what we do. So anyway, chat GPT, here's been a

609
00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: whole long conversation of quotes from the show. Jack Armstrong

610
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: Putin's a war criminal and should be in jail for

611
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: the rest of his life, if not executed. Joe Getty,

612
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,960
