0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 3>about this Prosset's sinco to myow, I wrote a borough

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 3>to work. I had to leave at three thirty in

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 3>the morning to get here.

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Because Burrow, we appreciate your commitment.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>By the day, you know, in honor of defeating the

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 3>French so that Emperor Maximilian would be booted out or something.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Oo, who zeus for maximillion? Nobody woo. Anyway, it's Monday,

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Brand New Week. It's sinko to my own. Today we're

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 3>under the tutelage of our general manager ben Ya mean

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 3>neting Yahoo and Israel having just announced a plan to

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>occupy Gaza and control aid distribution themselves, bringing closer to fruition.

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 3>What I've been saying for quite some time, they're doing uh,

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>not living side by side with anybody.

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>They're taking it over.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 3>So they had a vote overnight and they're gonna occupy Gaza. Yes, sir,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>run the place. Okay, yes, sir. I don't think they

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 3>got any choice. Meanwhile, I'd like to discuss the Western

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 3>media's just utter loyal sycophancy with Amas. I heard amplify

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 3>their talking points and video messages slavishly.

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I heard that on NPR this morning.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Critics say Hamas should be given a chance to something

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.679
<v Speaker 3>or other or whatever. There's no talk of amass surrendering

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 3>or giving.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Back to the hostages or anything what not. Have you mentioned, yeah, exactly.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I may have heard that same report, and I heard

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 3>a similar one in which they described the suffering of

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>the Palestinian people, which I don't debate for a minute,

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 3>and then throw an offhand. You know, the monsters, the Israelis.

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 3>They say they'll ease up and there can be peace

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 3>if they give the hostages back. But anyway, in other news,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 3>it's like, well, okay, so why don't they Why haven't they? No,

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 3>they never asked that question, and I was just I

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 3>was watching some of the coverage off again, the undeniable

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 3>suffering of some of the Palestinian people, including children, which

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the the video of the four kids clamoring for food

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 3>was straight out of Hamas's video production facilities.

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean they were like it was like watching Oliver Twist.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Please second, I have some awe.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was utterly designed to provoke sympathy and

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>outrage it whoever was putting the children in that the

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 3>poor children in that position, which.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Is a moss.

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 3>By the way, funny you had mentioned Oliver Twist, written

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 3>by Charles Dickens. Walsoll wrote Christmas Carol, which features sickly

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>little Tim. Because That's what I've been thinking about over

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 3>the last several days. I'm sickly. I am now a

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 3>sickly character, tiny Jack. I am like you know, I'm

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>like sickly or Week. I'm like Fredo and the Godfather.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm like the weak brother. I'm a sickly, weak human being.

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 3>And so I'm just trying to embrace that role now.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>That is I can normally assume that you're going to

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 3>turn coat and then like turn us into the FCC

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 3>for something.

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that, but I am. I am sickly.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm sickly and weak, and I hope I don't know

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 3>if I don't know, if I could listen to a

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 3>radio show that has a.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Worse I'm worse now than I was last week.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Get yourself a little crutch and and say vaguely affirming

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 3>things like God, bless us everyone. That's what I'm It's endearing.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I started a prednizone on Friday, a pretty high dose

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 3>which amps you up. And uh, I didn't sleep one

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 3>minute Friday night, not a single minute. I don't know

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 3>if I've ever done that in my wife, like he's

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 3>in partying. I don't know if I've ever gone a

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>whole night without one minute of sleep, without at least

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 3>like a five minute catnap or something.

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 1>I said the entire night it was crazy. Should we

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>just shut.

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 3>The whole thing down for a week and lets you

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>try to rest or something? And I don't get to

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>be on the air the last week of my life

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 3>because I'm probably dying. Wow, that's that's the point being

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 3>that's not a static reality. Perhaps we could affect that.

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 3>That would be my point. Anyway, that was crazy. I

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 3>had another point. Oh, and the best news story of

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 3>the last eighteen hours is obviously Trump reopening Alcatraz.

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That's about story out there. How great is that? How

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>do you define best exactly? I don't know. Catches your

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>eye and makes you want to know more. That caught

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 1>my eye and maybe you want to know no more. Wow.

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 3>He is the all time king troller, get people talking

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 3>guy of all time. You know he very well. This

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 3>just bopped into my head, now, my adult, sickly head.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He might have timed this.

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 3>With nothing Yahoo. He might have thought, oh boy, I'm

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to answer this question all day. What would

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 3>be open Alcatraz? Because that's what's leading everywhere. He might

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 3>have just covered up the whole Israel is going to

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>take over Gaza. Yes, you know, gosh, dang it, you're right.

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean the freneta. I was gonna make the points.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 3>That's a frenetic pace of this just it tends to

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>wear people out over time. But yeah, if you were

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 3>going to dodge talking about that, yes, all right, what

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 3>is so completely crazy? All right, say you're not sure

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 3>if due process applies or if you have to uphold

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 3>the constitution, and then say we ought to reopen Alcatraz

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 3>and use it as a prison for the the evilist,

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 3>most violent people.

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was singing.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 3>If it was an old timy radio, we would call

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Alcatraz like roughly, now call him up and say, hey,

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 3>have you heard about because it's a big tourist destination.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>So I was just in San Francisco a week before

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 3>last with my son. I said, I can't believe I've

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 3>never taken Alcatraz, which I can't believe I haven't. And

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 3>when I heard the news yes day, I thought, oh,

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>did I miss my window. I'd like to call him

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 3>up and say, have you heard word one about this?

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Has anybody who works at Alcatraz ever heard in the

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 3>ink even the slightest inkling of opening it back up

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 3>as a prison?

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Ever?

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Anybody in the entire US Park surface, which is run

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Alcatraz for like, well not sixty years, has been closed

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 3>as a prison for sixty years, but it's been run

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 3>by the Ark Service for decades and decades. Here's what's

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 3>interesting and just typical of the whole Trump thing. So

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 3>every news outlet taking it completely seriously, except for Fox,

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 3>who dismissed it very quickly as obviously he's not going

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 3>to open Alcatraz, but he's making the point that we've

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 3>got to lock these people up. I mean, they just

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 3>threw it aside as obviously not going to happen. It's

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 3>not even worth discussing immediately. Yeah, but on every other

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 3>channel they're taking breathless. How could he be so crazy?

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 3>It would cause we have an architect here to describe

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 3>how expensive it would be to you know, the whole thing.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, Well, and both sides get what they want

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>out of the story. You know, it's it's a beautiful, confusing,

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 3>idiotic symbiosis.

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But I'll bet that's it.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 3>It bumped Israel invading Gaza and taking it over off

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 3>the front page, which was a was, you know, a

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 3>no go as an option for mainstream media not too

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 3>long ago and probably still is. But declaring a war

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 3>on Disney. Mickey Mouse is an actual mouse, and he's

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 3>plotting the overthrow of the country.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>We are going to.

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Hunt down Mickey or Michael Mouse if it takes everything

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 3>we've got and then pushes everything off the front page. Antavirus.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Gene Ackman's wife would still be alive if it weren't

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 3>for Mickey Mouse, the great Gene Hackman, the late great Gina.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Out there he goes again.

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so okay, that's funny, absolutely Hilarious's going to reopen Alcatraz.

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Worked as a story.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's start the show officially, then get us into a

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 3>different conversation.

<v Speaker 4>I've also signed and forty seven executive orders, everything from

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 4>banning paper straws to defunding PBS. I understand Elmo has

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 4>now been apprehended by ice, brought to you by the

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.720

<v Speaker 3>Oh my, Not to get off on comedy because it's

<v Speaker 3>not that important, I suppose, but I hate that there's

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 3>a number of political like round up newsletters I read

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 3>every day, and the one I read it on Sunday.

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Here are your Trump jokes from Saturday Night.

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Live and just I just hate that the rest of

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the show, the of the ninety minutes, the other eighty

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 3>six minutes are really good, often of just sketch comedy.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 3>I hate that it's been distilled down for so much

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 3>of America as to what were the Trump jokes?

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, whatever, Yeah, it's.

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 3>We've talked about this one once and I think it's

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.559
<v Speaker 3>pretty self evident to a lot of people. But the

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 3>extent to which politics, you know, our versus d Trump

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 3>versus not Trump, whatever, has become people's identity and their

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 3>hobby and their passion and their talking point. It's the

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 3>modern It looks like a clear day, Jim. You see

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 3>what Trump did. Jim. I've got the best example, which

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna talk more about later, from uh going to

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 3>the movies on Friday night. So I went to see Thunderbolts,

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 3>the latest Marvel movie, and I had unfortunately seen a

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 3>piece or two, including the one in the National Review

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 3>about how Thunderbolts a disgusting attack on Trump and America

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 3>through and through transparent the way it treats its audience.

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what really, I.

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Went, You're insane if you watch that movie and you're

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 3>thinking that it's taking shots at Trump and America, and

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 3>that's what gets into your head. You're crazy. This is

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the whole wolf Right thing that's taken over. You're nuts.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 3>I remember the same thing with the movie up Oh

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 3>a transparent defending of climate and I didn't get that

0:10:58.880 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 3>at all.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't look up, don't look up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't get.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 3>That at all. So everybody's gone nuts with this stuff

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 3>where it's just it's it's your It's like you were

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 3>just saying, it's your identity, it's your life. You see

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 3>every single thing through the through the lens of is

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 3>this supporting Trump or not? Or my point of view

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 3>or not? Every single tiny thing now it's it's it's

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 3>a psychosis of some sort. Yeah, it's partly a psychosis.

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a hell of a lot of pop

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 3>culture that is also joined in that fray, and so no,

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 3>it's not completely crazy to see that fray represented in

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>pop culture.

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I must disagree with you.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 3>On the other hand, you're a specific example. I get Yeah,

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 3>but this I.

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Read this long article, I mean where it was.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 3>It was pages long in Oh yeah, this guy is

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>a I know, the guy who does that stuff for

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 3>and are He is a sophisticate, a brilliant man, a wordsmith. Yeah,

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 3>I just think it's crazy. So we used to laugh

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.959
<v Speaker 3>at the left when they talk about cowboy movies. Of

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.199
<v Speaker 3>course the bad guys have black hats. A good have

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>white hats because black people are bad. So the way

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 3>you read into this crap we used to all call crazy.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Now the right does it exactly as stupidly, by the way,

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 3>as egregiously stupidly. In my opinion, Wow, folks, it's the steroids.

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 3>He's got the roid rage going. He doesn't know what

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 3>he's saying. He's out of control. Now, if you if

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>you go to a movie like that and you see politics,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 3>there's something wrong with your brain. You haven't seen You've

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 3>you've got you, You've lost your ability to like live

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 3>a normal life.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's happening a lot. I don't know

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>what we do about it. I don't know if there's

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>any getting out of it.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Again, I haven't seen him dead, so it's impossible

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 3>to judge. Well, we'll play his greatest well, milk, his

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 3>greatest hits greatest rants for I don't know, a few

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 3>days coming backs, yes, yeah, just Hanson and I are

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 3>planning on the air.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>It's probably gonna do you know, new co host. So

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>we don't have Katie here today, she's off.

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 3>We don't have Michaelangelo here today, so it's just Joe

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 3>and I are some in our sombreros and Hansen in there,

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 3>who also.

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>Wrote a burrow to work in honor of Sinco Tomaio.

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 3>And you're sick as can be and don't drink. So

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm swinging down Marguerite's on my own drag.

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've got more news for you coming up.

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 3>We're probably not going to reopen Alcatraze, but Israel probably

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 3>is going to take over Gaza and that's gonna be

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 3>quite the mess. And a bunch of other stuff that

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 3>happened over the weekend, including uh, some more tariff stuff

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 3>that Trump talked about. You're needing less pencils. You can

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 3>live with a terrass on movies whatever that means. Your

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 3>kids are gonna have less dolls. You're gonna have less pencils.

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>That's the world you're gonna live in.

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Shoot, I gotta start saving my pencils and dolls.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:43.839
<v Speaker 3>A lot of stuff on the way. I hope you

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 3>can stay here for the first time in four years

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 3>you gotta make your college student loan payment. If you're behind,

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 3>get caught up, or you're gonna be in real trouble

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 3>that starts today. According to it's all presented from a

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 3>sympathetic that's horrible for you point of view from everything

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 3>that is mainstream media as opposed to, of course you

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 3>have to start paying for it. It was bizarre that

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you ever didn't right and turned out to be illegal,

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 3>and the extension of the original COVID plan was utterly

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 3>without excuse or explanation. Yeah, at the same time, you know,

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I've got to admit I've got so much raging hostility

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 3>against the college scam and those who perpetrated it and

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 3>those who profit so mightily from it.

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Today.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, I could almost believe that Joe Biden was

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 3>relieving the student debt or trying to because he was

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 3>so guilt stricken, if he had a conscience over how

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 3>how badly screwed so amara so many American young people

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>are by that whole fraud. You've got to go to

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 3>college to have a decent life where we will, oh,

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 3>all of culture will look down on you and call

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>you names and think less of you. Oh, by the way,

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to get an education. It's wildly artificially

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 3>inflated in price because it's such a scam and a

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 3>profit center for the left. And I just and that's

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 3>supposed to ease my guilt by making the guy who

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 3>decided I'm not going to college it's a waste of

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 3>time pay for it. No, I'm just saying, there's there's.

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 3>It's not as it's not a simple moral question. It's well,

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, you walk down the garden path of evil,

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you end up surrounded by evil, the old g Poe

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 3>all right, and the old and the just. There is

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 3>a very few simple, clear solutions. I would say, sorry,

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>you got scammed. You know, you gotta pay your your loan. Yeah,

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>so a few headlines because Katie's not here, but we'll

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 3>go ahead and do something at least somewhat similar. You

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 3>got your uh Irani impact, hoothy revels, revels. It's so

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 3>essentially Iran lobbing a big, old ballistic missile into Israel.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 3>They they caught three of them. The fourth got through

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 3>because it was right by the airport. Yeah, lots of

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 3>a videos. Man, you're in that airport and you hear

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 3>the raid sirens going off, and then all of a sudden,

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 3>a big kabluey right outside the terminal.

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap. Yeah.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 3>According to the Israeli military, they knocked out about ninety

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 3>five percent of the missiles launched at them by the

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Houthis but occasionally get through. It stopped air traffic there

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 3>at the biggest airport for like an hour.

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I think a little more than that.

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Heck, we got a rainstorm in Kentucky's right right, the

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 3>entire country for a week.

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>It rains in Kentucky. You're not flying out lax today.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what Israeli armies started calling up tens of thousands

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 3>of reservists in preparation for an expanded operation in the

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Gaza Strip. You got a judge knocking down one of

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Trump's executive orders targeting law firms that had gone up

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>against them. That one was obvious. Sorry, it was silly,

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 3>it was dumb. Will it's over. We'll get into the

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 3>details in some of these big stories. But here's my

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 3>favorite headline that I came across today. Surgeons attempt to

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 3>medical first removing a spinal tumor through the patient's eye.

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm no expert on anatomy, but it seems to me,

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 3>isn't that? Like, I don't know going to speaking of Kentucky,

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to go to Lexington, Kentucky through Olympia, Washington. Why,

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 3>surely there's a better route. More news of the day,

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.120
<v Speaker 3>and we'll get you up to speed on a bunch

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 3>of these stories that.

<v Speaker 1>Are real, that's for sure. Armstrong and Getty. What's vax?

<v Speaker 1>they even talk about? It's insane, sir. I thought that

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>was pretty funny. What do they even talk about?

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's a cartoon version of you know, the

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 3>culture war?

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 3>got the real Trump, who's done his third interview.

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>With Christian Walker Meet the Press in one hundred days.

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 3>The overtly hostile, relentlessly negative.

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Unfair, brutal, one sided. Kristen Welker.

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 3>Democrats get away with not doing very many interviews period,

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>and then when they do do them, they give them

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 3>to mainstream media outlets.

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:38.640
<v Speaker 1>There are all on their side.

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Trump goes into hostile territory like every day answering questions.

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Let's review Joe Biden's last interview. Sir, your wonderfulness is

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 3>a wonder to us all. How are you so wonderful?

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 3>But so last week a lot of tension was made

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 3>talking about the tariff war and what it'll do, and

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Trump's saying, you know, kids can get by fewer dolls.

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.880
<v Speaker 3>And I thought it meant under the tree. You thought

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 3>it meant on the shelves. Well, it was a little ambiguous,

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 3>that's what I thought. Still trying to figure out where

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 3>that all is. So Christian Walker brought that up with

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 3>him on Meet the Press yesterday, And I.

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.880
<v Speaker 5>Want to ask you about something you said this week

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 5>got a lot of attention. You were at your cabinet meeting.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 5>You said, quote, going to quote what you said, maybe

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 5>the children will have two dolls instead of thirty dollars. Yeah,

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 5>and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 5>bucks more than they would normally. Are you saying that

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 5>your tariffs will cause some prices to go up.

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 6>No, I think the tariff's are going to be great

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 6>for us because it's going to make us rich.

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 5>You said some dolls are going to cost more. Isn't

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 5>that an acknowledgement that some prices will go up.

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 6>I don't think a beautiful baby girl needs at eleven

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 6>years old, needs to have thirty dollars. I think they

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 6>can have three dollars or four dollars. Because what we

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 6>were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 6>trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China.

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 5>When you say they could have three dollars instead of

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.959
<v Speaker 5>thirty dollars, are you saying you say Americans could see

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 5>empty store shelves.

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 6>No, No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying they

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 6>don't need to have thirty dollars. They can have three.

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 6>They don't need to have two hundred and fifty pencils,

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 6>they can have five.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 5>You're basically saying there could be some supply.

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 6>Because they can't waste money on a trade deficit with

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 6>China for things we don't need, for junk that we

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 6>don't need.

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Ian Bremer called that the most anti American thing I've

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 3>ever heard of.

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 1>US President say, it's a bit strong.

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree, it's a bit strong, but it sure sounds

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 3>like he means under the tree, like you just your

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.680
<v Speaker 3>kids can do deal with less toys. And you've got

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 3>too many pencils, by the way, what a weird example.

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And they're going to cost more. Yeah, listen, you don't

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>need three hundred and fifty pencils. Good lord.

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 3>I would hope at this point we have earned a

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 3>reputation for fairness that you can trust us.

0:20:58.400 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>We calls them as we see them.

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 3>I found that to be, as political pitches go, one

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 3>of the more amazing ones. There's going to be less

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.919
<v Speaker 3>to choose from, and it will cost more, but it

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 3>will protect our industry and our manufacturing jobs, and we

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 3>will all be better off for it.

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Was his the second half of the sentence that he

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>never really spoke.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, so here we are as usual as people

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 3>often are, trying to fill in the stuff he doesn't say.

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>A native English speaker, Yes.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 3>Because the argument that it's going to be painful for

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 3>a while that's the way terif wars work, but it's

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 3>going to turn out in our favor.

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's true or not, but at

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>least you can make that argument. It's a theory.

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 3>The whole you have too much stuff, I'll determine how

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 3>much stuff you need to be happy is not something

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 3>people are going to enjoy. No, that is Frankly, that's

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.240
<v Speaker 3>awful political messaging. If one is just going to be

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 3>completely cynical about it, it's not good.

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Your kids have too many toys. I'm just telling you, no, No,

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.120
<v Speaker 1>my kids will have as many toys as I think

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they ought. Nobody wants anybody to tell them.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 3>That, Yeah, I don't need that sort of value judgment.

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:17.360
<v Speaker 3>If it was coming from a Democrat, folks, friends, and

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 3>no kidding, be honest with your you would be going nuts.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.440
<v Speaker 3>If Obama or Biden had said your kids don't need

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 3>that many dolls for Christmas, Yeah, you'd be going crazy

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 3>over that. Interestingly enough, Scott Bessens, who is the cool

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.919
<v Speaker 3>head I think in the administration when it comes to

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 3>trade and tariffs and that sort of thing, has a

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 3>piece in the Wall Street Journal published yesterday. I guess

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 3>it was Trump's three steps to economic growth, and he

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 3>doesn't state it explicitly, but it seems really clear that, yeah,

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 3>the tariffs are a means of negotiating better trade deals.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry, we won't have high tariffs going forward. But

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 3>then Trump goes on the kristin Welker's awful show, and

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 3>it implies otherwise, because that is necessary for the negotiations.

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I guess that we're going to be, you know, dollless

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 3>and have few pencils pencils.

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he was just.

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Trying to pick a kind of an anonymous, you know,

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 3>generic good.

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:25.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel amply penciled myself. You don't need

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty pencils.

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 3>A couple of pencils is plenty, right, all right, you

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 3>got me on that one. Yeah, we mostly use the

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 3>mechanical ones around my house, so I think, you know,

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 3>last lifetime anyway, So that was just odd his mystifying

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 3>strategic chaos or strategic ambiguity in negotiations. That was at Lutnik.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 3>One of his guys was talking about, hey, now he

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:49.439
<v Speaker 3>does it.

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we know.

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Nobody knows where this is going. That's the point. Okay,

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure. I love that, but I think I

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 3>understand it.

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you use a pencil for? What are you

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>writing in pencil for? I have a second grade paper due.

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, don't. I don't use them much, honestly. Uh,

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.120
<v Speaker 3>you'd have to ask my wife if maybe you're doing

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 3>math or things you need to erase.

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, use a pencil. We do a lot

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of drafting in our house, busy drafting.

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I use a pencil maybe to mark

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 3>the kid's height up against the wall. Yeah, but the

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 3>only thing I can think of off the top of my head,

0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you want the honest truth, And it's

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 3>a probing question, I appreciated I only use a pencil

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 3>because I picked it up thinking it was because we

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 3>use mechanical pencils around my house. Yeah, okay, I admit it.

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 3>So that got a fair amount of attention. And honestly,

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it's silly and indefensible and an odd thing

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 3>to say. I get the idea of instead of a

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 3>society of wildly cheap, astonishing abundance that is good for

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 3>corporations but bad for the American worker, We're going to

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 3>go back to a little more traditional American economic system.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah. My problem with that.

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 3>It's defensible, you know, in some ways I get it,

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 3>but I despise central planning, right, It's a horror.

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a horror.

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 3>I could go on and on without pausing for breath

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 3>for two and a half hours if you would like

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 3>me to about how incredibly stupid and flawed central planning

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 3>is and how it is a miserable failure every single

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 3>time it's tried, and the smacks of central planning except

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.239
<v Speaker 3>that I just think it's a means to the end

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 3>of the trade negotiations. Yeah, I have a thought on that.

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Right after this, I watched the Warriors game last night.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.520

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.840

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 3>I was I was all ready to go right now,

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 3>right now do you understand the whole movie tariff thing

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 3>that has just been announced on fortunal. That's that's why

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:09.879
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to do the constitution stuff now, because I

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 3>don't honestly, well, I would like to point out where

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I think Trump is being criticized unjustifiedly on a big one,

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 3>the constitutional stuff.

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to defend him on that. Okay, believe it

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>or not. Cool, that's a good one. That's a hot one. Pencils,

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't care, I don't know.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 3>We can do it now or do it. Let's kick

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 3>off next hour with it. I will give you the

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:38.160
<v Speaker 3>very very short version. I did not love his answer,

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 3>But I've said since Trump was running in twenty fifteen

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty sixteen that his his grasp of and his love

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 3>for the Constitution is less than I would like. On

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 3>the other hand, the constant abuse of the Constitution by

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, your Biden's and Obama's and company or are

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 3>certainly more.

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Than I would like.

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 3>But having said that, he was obviously in an environment

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 3>with a person who is trying desperately to trap him

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 3>to get the big juicy news quote. And there is

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:23.120
<v Speaker 3>subtlety and complexity to anything but the very very simplest

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:26.199
<v Speaker 3>answer to those questions. Now, he could have given the

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 3>very very simplest answer, but he knew she was trying

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 3>to trap him, and so he.

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Was engaging in ambivalence. I get it, and we'll play

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you the clips.

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's amazing that the Trump people are

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 3>willing to troll to the level they troll. I mean

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 3>two things. One thing she asked about I meet the

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 3>press yesterday. You sell Trump twenty twenty eight hats. I mean,

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 3>so that's some serious patrolling. They actually sell Trump twenty

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight hats. Yes, And they put out on their

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 3>own one of their own feeds over the weekend, put

0:28:55.400 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 3>out the picture of him as pope and also so

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 3>him as a roided up muscle freak action hero guy

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 3>good lord an with a machine gunner.

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>So I can't remember.

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 3>So I want to talk about two movies I saw

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 3>every the weekend. Since I'm sick, I saw more movies

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 3>than usual. I saw the new Marvel Comics movie, which

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 3>had a really interesting message I thought, and my son

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 3>thought was the best deprayal deep portrayal of depression he's

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 3>ever seen in any TV or movie ever. Oh really, yeah,

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 3>which I find interesting. The very adult movie wasn't like

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 3>any other Marvel movie I've ever seen by far.

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually people clapped at the end, including me. It

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>was really something.

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, many including me have kicked Marvel absolutely four foisting,

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 3>increasingly dopey, idiotic. Oh these these idiots will watch anything,

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 3>no movies for the longest time, so you know they're

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 3>smart people.

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>They got it. And then oh the other movie I watched.

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 3>I watched so where I the eighty year anniversary of

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 3>the Fall of Berlin, And I watched a movie I'd

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 3>never seen before with Anthony Hopkins as Hitler, The Bunker.

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever seen that? I'd never even heard of it.

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 3>It's the best Hitler movie I've ever seen. I didn't

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 3>never even heard of it.

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I have.

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, it was good. But I want to

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 3>talk about that later and some things around that, among

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 3>other stuff. We got mail bag on the way. I

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 3>hope you can stick around.

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 3>The tryouts for Jack's replacements start before or after I die.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Asking for a friend, will there be a hot link

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 3>for risumni sub submissions? You know, as a man who's

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 3>played in a number of rock and roll bands through

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 3>the years, sometimes there's a week link and you need

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 3>to get rid of them, and you don't. You just say, yeah,

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.959
<v Speaker 3>we can't practice this Tuesday. But everybody knows, but that

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 3>person you are practicing on Tuesday. But with the drummer,

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 3>you're auditioning. So that's what we've been doing. Anyway, Hanson

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 3>and I get together and do a show on Saturdays

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 3>with Billy Young Billy who's the new co host. Anyway,

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 3>here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Got a

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 3>great one for a Thursday, by the way, Jackie brought

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 3>up v E Day in World War Two. Got a

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 3>wonderful V Day related quote. But today's from Ben Franklin.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I love this because of its brevity. Here comes the

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 3>orator with his flood of words and his drop of reason. Man,

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 3>how many political speeches have you heard that are a

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 3>flood of words and a drop of reason?

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I like it? Or Ben piffy mail bag?

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Did you go from basically late Great Ben Franklin, Late

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Great Ben Franklin.

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:51.959
<v Speaker 3>You can drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 3>and getty dot com. Let's start light and move, you know,

0:31:57.040 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 3>towards the more pithy or more important Jay team Livermore

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 3>on the topic of weighing obese people, guys, you don't

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 3>need to take them to the zoo. Well, I would agree.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 3>There are a couple of cases of people needing to

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 3>be weighed and they didn't have the proper scale at

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 3>any medical facility for them because of their their heavy heavyweights.

0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>They take them to weigh.

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Hippopotamusis exactly which is hurtful all around. Anyway, He says,

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.280
<v Speaker 3>you only need two traditional bathroom scales with a board

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 3>between them, and assuming the scales are accurate to two

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty pounds, the two scales can weigh individuals

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 3>up to five hundred pounds.

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what we did.

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 3>We did that on the Armstrong and Getty Show. We

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 3>figured that out years ago. We used to give away

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 3>tickets to heavy people. Sacramento Kings were in the playoffs

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>and we gave away tickets to the biggest Kings fan

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 3>by weight, and we didn't have a five hundred pound scales.

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 3>We had two regular scales. They would put one foot

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 3>on each and it worked fine. That was in earlier

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 3>and more idiotic days on the show. We've moved beyond

0:32:57.040 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 3>that sort of foolishness.

0:32:58.160 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>What weighing giant people and giving them price.

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Then he says, you don't need a super executive, expensive

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 3>elephant scale for your doctor's office. The scales can be

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 3>put away in a cabinet when weighing traditional patient. No.

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>JT.

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 3>No, it's much simpler to just have the big scale.

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh oh, better bring out another. No, two more.

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Scales, come on? Anyway? You are right.

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Did you watch the Kentucky Derby on Saturday? I did, and,

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 3>fueled by what do you make jin out of rice

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 3>juniper berries? Fueled by whatever's in gin, I threw down

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 3>a couple of ill advised dollars on various nags which

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 3>failed to cross the finished money fashion.

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 1>You didn't choose the winner? I did not?

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, I never I never go with favorites. I mean,

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 3>what's the point anyway? Let's see, this is from Kevin.

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 3>It seems appropriate that a horse named sovereignty should defeat

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 3>a horse named journalism in this Saturday's Kentucky Derby during

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 3>a time that our country is taking back sovereignty. It's

0:33:56.000 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 3>a southern border and exposing fake journalism. Finding more meaning

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 3>from the horse names than I did, Kevin, But you're right,

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 3>that is kind of funny.

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 3>How about Ryan reacting to the President on Meet the

0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Press with his you don't need two hundred pencils or

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 3>whatever he said, Dear Big Freedom and cyber Jack.

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Was President Trump telling me I should do with less.

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 3>The man who drapes everything in gold, builds luxury resorts

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 3>and hotels that I can't afford to google much less

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 3>to go to and at the cost of tax payer dollars,

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 3>shows up to whatever sports of any wants.

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>It's telling me to do more or do with less.

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Please, elected officials, don't tell me I could do with

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:36.920
<v Speaker 3>less when you have grown fat and rich off the

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:40.240
<v Speaker 3>American people. Let's Ryan from Houston. It was a solid

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 3>conservative lad.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't think it's very good political messaging anyway.

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Moving along totally different topic, JT writes one thing to

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.239
<v Speaker 3>look ahead when you lower the federal He wrote a

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 3>multipoint email about GDP measurements, which were much in the

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 3>news at the end of the last week, and he

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 3>said one more thing, when you lower the federal budget,

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 3>that too causes a reduction in the GDP calculation. That's right,

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 3>because it's consumer spending plus investment plus government spending minus imports,

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.440
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah, which is just an accounting reality. It's

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 3>not that imports hurt the GDP. You just don't want

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 3>to double count that money.

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Anyway.

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 3>When you borrow money for the federal budget, that borrowed

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 3>money increases the GDP. Paying down the debt doesn't help

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.360
<v Speaker 3>the GDP at all. It won't so if Trump and

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 3>dogs were actually able to find a trillion dollars to

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 3>cut from the federal budget, the GDP of the country

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 3>would go down by a trillion dollars, all other things

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 3>being equal. Well, in three months when the quarterly report

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 3>comes out, if it's down again, I'm taking that week

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 3>off while you all argue about whether or not this

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:51.399
<v Speaker 3>is a recession. I can't wait. It'll be fascinating. Jt

0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 3>rolls on though, and I think this is great. Here's

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 3>another example of how screwed up the GDP calculation is.

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 3>And I would add how silly it is to spend

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of time beating our over it. To Jack's point,

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.880
<v Speaker 3>if Biden borrows two trillion dollars for his green energy

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.480
<v Speaker 3>schemes and then Trump comes in and balances the budget,

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 3>the GDP will take a two trillion dollar hit year

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 3>over year from that act of financial sanity. This has

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 3>been one of my many many ghods that is so

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 3>esoteric nobody cares about. But I believe we really need

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 3>a new GDP like metric, that GDP like metric that

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 3>better measures the health of the economy. Yeah, that'll be

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 3>a fun argument. Is this a recession? Two down quarters

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 3>in a row? Blah blah, everybody will switch sides from

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 3>the last time I argued about it.

0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Now it'll be good times, you know.

0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 3>I'll just read passages from my favorite Dickens novels.

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:45.360
