Imagine how weird is that a president 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.360 and or president elect communicating with the. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.880 People of the United States. What's he thinking? 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.759 So here's Gerald Baker writing in the Wall Street Journal 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.040 about the Trump moment. This may be the first time 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.560 since the nineteen eighties and Reagan that we have a 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.319 GOP president with the standing, the authority, and the legislative 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.360 and executive resources to reshape politics in the US and abroad. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.560 He goes through a list of all the business leaders 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.520 and powerful democrats and everybody that have either spoken to 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.759 him or gone to visit him, et cetera, et cetera. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.000 Only a few presidents changed the political weather by their 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:50.639 very election. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:51.440 John F. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.840 Kennedy presaged the social and political transformations of the sixties. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.560 Ronald Reagan and eighty announced the arrival of a new 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.760 political economy for the West five weeks before his inauguration. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.920 Mister Trump's new order is well underway. I don't know 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.680 if that's overstating it or not making it a Kennedy 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.720 type Reagan type moment, but man, it certainly could be. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.399 Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it's early days. It's a it's 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.360 a really good start. But these aren't normal early days. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.960 That's the point. They're not like any early days I've seen, maybe. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.280 Obama that first time where everybody was so in love 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:24.760 with him. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:30.080 But yeah, it's this, this, this is amazing, especially for 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.359 a guy who, you know. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.560 The only thing we've heard for ten years is his 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:40.160 high negatives and. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.839 Most unpopular this and that have ever this is astounding. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.239 This is just astounding. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.320 I think in two of the three examples we gave 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:54.200 of transitional periods presaging, you know, real change in America's 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:59.040 politics that was aided along by the incumbent being incredibly weak, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.799 Jimmy Carr and Joe Biden specifically. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.320 So I think there's just that. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.520 Do you remember Do you remember, unless you've got a 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:13.120 serious neurological condition, Yes, you remember the just euphoria on 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.079 the Democratic side of the aisle when Joe Biden about 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.560 a hot to have cared his way out of the 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:23.280 race and they got a new chance, the great Kamala Harris, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.600 who everybody knew was moron. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.680 But just the newness finally out with the old. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.840 I think part of it is that, Honestly, Maggie Haberman, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.680 who hates Trump, writes, he has enjoyed a steady stream 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.920 of vanquished opponents and critics and business leaders who once 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.520 spurned him, arriving to pay respects, seek jobs, or simply 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.760 watch him press play on the iPad that he uses 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.040 to control the music from the patio during the dinner hours. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.400 It's so funny that Trump runs the music during East the. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.080 DJ DJ Marlango. He has the iPad with him. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.720 I've seen the videos of it, and they're all eating 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.640 and the songs about to end, and he's scrolling through 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:01.480 and picks. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.360 I'm guessing a lot of yacht rock. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.520 A lot of yacht rock, and then he'll fire up 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.080 YMCA right before dessert and everybody. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.520 Does oh yes, dinner table events. I don't know. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.760 I maybe I'm gonna feel like a sap later, but 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.240 I'm optimistic that something could actually happen. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.280 Like with this Doge thing. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.640 The Committee's having their first big get together today, and 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:31.280 with Elon Musk's high profile and maybe just maybe enough 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:37.320 important people realizing it's practically now or never that something 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.880 can happen. I don't know. I hope I don't look 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.160 back on this in two years. In the thing I 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.200 am nothing. Nothing, nothing happened, not only little, but nothing. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.039 Yeah, I think I don't think it'll be little or nothing. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.880 I think it'll be significant. I know a lot of 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.520 our hopes will be dashed. I'm already highly troubled by 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:59.839 Trump's seeming willingness to sell the actual working man in 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.800 woman in favor of union support for the very very 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.080 few from the longshoreman, for instance. His support of that 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.640 union and what they're doing and against you know, automation 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.760 is awful. That's picking you know what five hundred workers 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.760 prospects against the prospects of fifty million workers. Since more 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.240 efficient to docs and trade would be better for everybody, 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.440 and preventing that is only good for a tiny group 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:29.839 of people. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.560 Another thing about the Trump moment is his amazing for 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.239 him self control he's had thus far and had throughout 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.200 the press conference yesterday. He had an opportunity to go 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.880 Trump and go dark and go vengeance or go insult 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.400 on a whole bunch of different answers, and he took 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.320 a pass. How long can he keep that up? Is 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:53.359 Susie Wilds got some sort of special talent? Is she 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.000 like custom motto was for Mike Tyson and nobody else 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.120 could do it? Can she whisper in his ear? Before 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.760 Trump goes out there, remember the goal. Keep your eye 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.720 on the prize, eyeing the prize. It's not about the 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.000 one person you hate. Keep your eye on the prize. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.440 Because he took a pass on all kinds of. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.160 Normal Trump targets yesterday, right right, You know, I was 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.599 gonna speculate that maybe it's that he's still trying to 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.479 earn the admiration of guys like Elon Musk, who he's 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.919 close to, and he wants to be the statesman. Although 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.240 Elon Musky is one of the great insult comics in 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.440 the history of the Internet. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.320 So maybe not. Yeah, I don't know. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.520 You're right, though, I mean that observation is one hundred 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.200 percent right. He's very statesman like these days. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:40.240 Can he keep that up? No? Oh is that rhetorical? Sorry, 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:41.040 he's older. 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.080 He he might have decided. You know, I'd kind of 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.839 like to be remembered as a good president. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:49.359 Sure. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.799 Yeah, And honestly, I don't think giving it up entirely 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.880 is a good idea anyway. That the the quick political wit, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.680 the well placed insult where it's appropriate, Yeah, that's part 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:00.960 of the conversation. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.000 Yeah, but don't where it's appropriate is the key. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.160 You've got to stay away from the you know, I 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.440 prefer people who don't get captured about John McCain or whatever. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.680 You know, all those things. They were just so over 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.760 the top that was ages ago. Yeah, but of course 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.080 you're right, Yeah, don't don't punch down. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.800 He didn't tweet out that picture of a fat Chris 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.480 Christie McDonald's over the weekend, So oh, maybe that's his outlet. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.920 Maybe Susie Wils's go ahead, truth social your fat jokes 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.119 and all that sort of stuff doesn't really have might matter, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.720 just at the podium on MIC. You could keep it 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.239 under control. Maybe that's his outlet. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.160 She's got a list of four people he's allowed to insult. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.840 All right, you're feeling like it, go after Christy. Christy's fine. Kamala, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.560 that'd be fine too. Oh, speaking of Kamala, I have 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.240 some Kamala news that please. People are gonna spit coffee 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.200 all over the windshields. It's it's it's unbelievable. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.559 Wow, that's cool, that's very, very exciting. I just it 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:01.920 has to do with her future plans. I have to 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.200 what is this stuff on my desk? I have to 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.360 resist the temptation to because I listened to NPR on 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.160 the way to work, and I really need to fight 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.560 the temptation to just be a you know, a response 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:21.120 to NPR. Although NPR is pretty powerful, has really good 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.520 ratings all across the country a lot because they have 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.200 a different business model than every other radio station and 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.320 that they didn't have to worry about ads or profit 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.280 I think a government support. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:34.640 But so. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.160 I feel like somebody needs to respond to some of 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.640 the news that they put out there, because I have 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.319 friends who believe all that NPR crap. But they did 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:48.480 a story about homelessness today, in particular to Montana, and 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:53.200 they presented it as since the Supreme Court ruled that 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.880 you don't have to supply shelter for homeless people, cities 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.280 across America, including these in Montana, shutting down their homeless 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.040 shelters right before winter, and they presented it as if 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:10.000 the trump right wing Supreme Court swooped in and took 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.520 away a right that has always existed from are unhoused 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.040 as opposed to there was one wacky ruling that threw 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.440 homelessness into a crisis and finally we got it straightened 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.520 back out again, right, And gonna look into that story 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.199 a little bit more later in the show. I think 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.719 it's important for the national conversation about homelessness. And I 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.600 don't know where all of y'all come down on it, 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.080 but a whole bunch of towns that had put up 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.480 shelters because that was the law at the time, and 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.360 they wanted to be able to boot the homeless people 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.240 out of their town, but you couldn't legally unless you 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.640 had a shelter provided for them, and so they put 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.480 up enough shelters to provide for him. Now that that's 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.520 not the lawnymore. They're saying, okay, enough of the shelters. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:48.920 Well right right. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.720 In fact, those laws were so loopy you could safely 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.720 describe them as you're not allowed to enforce your laws 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.560 unless you have a bed for each vagrant. Right well, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.120 the ultimate's camping, pan handling, sleeping on the sidewalk, what 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.080 have you, public defecation. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.280 The fastest growing homeless population in America right now is 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.520 in Montana, and pr of course portrayed as because of 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.679 high housing costs, rent and mortgages, because that's what we 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.920 all do if rent gets too high, we go live 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.760 on the street and new drugs. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.000 But more on that later. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.080 The main question, of course, being is housing a right? 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.560 Is housing a right? That's what we got to figure 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.400 out as a country. My answer would be no. Let's 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.360 start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.160 on this It is Tuesday, December seventeenth, the year twenty 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.320 twenty four. Life was not a boor in twenty four? 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.679 Were Armstrong in getting we approved of this program. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.880 Let's begin then, officially according FCC rules and regulations, here 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:44.120 we go. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:45.520 The show starts at mark. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.600 Not going to comment on the putin question, but I 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.920 will comment on on BB. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.640 Who had a very good talk. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.520 As you know, I gave warning that if these hostages 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.520 aren't back home by that date, all hell's going to 0:10:58.559 --> 0:10:59.439 break out. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.720 Trump threatening Hamas as opposed to threatening Israel is a 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.760 breath of fresh air. You think you've had a bad year, Hamas, 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.480 brace yourself? Right, How does mailbag look very good? 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:17.640 Quite nice? 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.720 Any chance next year is going to be like the 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.600 most normal year we've had in quite some time. No, no, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.520 how could it? Well, we just came out of this 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.120 wacky presidential election. I feel like we could return to 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.040 some sort of normalcy. You don't think so, it's a 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:35.720 long shot. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:36.320 I tell you what. 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.640 You you bet that you will win handsomely if you win, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.640 because with all the geo political instability going on right now, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.800 the Middle East is about to go nuts by the 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.199 standards of the Middle. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:52.600 East, right, for instance, Russia, Ukraine and China. You're right, Uh, 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.479 here's our text line four one five two nine five KFTC. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.880 Sanna's coming around and all the ground. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:09.720 Fat anyway, Anyway, I was tempted to jump into a 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.120 different discussion, but I don't want to. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.360 You got a tree, you don't got kids in your 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.920 house anymore. You have a tree up. Oh yeah, yep, festive. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.400 Judy's got all over her nutcrackers out and and uh 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.400 yeah the house is nice. We're going to decorate it 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.679 when a little d our youngest gets here with her 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:25.600 man for a visit. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.600 I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, why not. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.240 I wish the big kids could be here, But work 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.560 and travel and all is tough this time here anyway. Uh, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.600 here's a freedom loving quote of the day. I absolutely 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:42.320 love set along by Matt the Idaho Farmhan. It's Kevin Roberts, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.079 who's the president of the Heritage Foundation. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:46.320 I'm saving this one. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.480 Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.520 of fire. The preservation of fire strikes me as a 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.599 good metaphor for conservatism. It's not rose tinted nostalgia and 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.280 idealized past. It preserves they to the past and applies 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.439 its lessons to the present. Maintaining a controlled burn is 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.480 a way to a better future. Interesting tending the fire 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.320 of democracy. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.320 I like that. No, you don't like that. You're not 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.760 impressed by that? No reaction at all. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.280 Well, the populace has to want that. I think that's 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.400 what happens. That's what I think I'm starting to learn 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.000 as I get older. No, if they don't, you jab 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.400 them with one of the burning embers. Continue to the metaphor. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:33.400 I'm kidding. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.360 Yeah, More on that to come, obviously, the ongoing conversation. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.240 First, mail bag. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.959 If you would like to communicate, there are a couple 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.439 of ways to do it. You can text us four 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.120 one five, two nine five KFTC or drops a note 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.080 via email. Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.120 Paolo one of a couple of people, one of several 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.440 people do weigh in on the Fermi paradox. If there 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.079 are so many planets, there ought to be a lot 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.079 of life. Why I haven't re found it? And Polo 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:58.720 goes into some of the numbers, which I think are 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.120 so interesting. As we know, it requires a lot of 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.920 very special circumstances to evolve, so the occurrences of it 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.880 may be relatively sparse, but the universe is vast, so 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.080 it's likely to happen in places other than in the Earth. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.680 And some of the numbers are mind blowing. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.840 There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.760 They're an estimated two hundred billion to two trillion galaxies 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:19.400 in the universe. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.400 The estimates just keep growing. His telescopes see further. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.720 So, you know, as he points out, but everything's very 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.240 very very far away and we can't get there really 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.080 detect much. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.960 But then I like this from burbank Luke, but the 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.080 main question being, but then where are they? 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.720 Or as burbank Luke points out, and you know, I 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.000 almost jumped into this yesterday, but we were pressed for time, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.360 when are they? The Fermi paradox makes sense for the 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:51.040 same reason. SETI is futile time. That's the our listening 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.920 giant listening telescope or what would you call listening dish right, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.200 what's the term, doesn't matter station listening station. Surely there 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.040 is was other intelligent life in the universe. They could 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.360 trundle along for eons and the primordial soup, then the lungs, 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.880 the legs, the opposable thumbs. 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.920 Then they're using rocks as tools and so on. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.280 Eventually they figure out broadcast TV, which is what SETI 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.920 listens for, basically sitcoms of the Hexapus family holiday specials, 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.600 and the next thing you know, they all blow each 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.280 other up in the Pentane wars. The last part only 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.560 takes two hundred years. It's a synchronization problem. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.920 There are no blips of sound out there from previous 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.560 civilizations that became advanced, none floating through the universe. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.280 Not a blip. Yeah, I don't know. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.920 The numbers are too fast for me to comprehend. I've 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.760 decided decided a long time ago, the great, the great 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.680 questions of physics and science were so beyond me. I 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.960 would stick with the more mundane, you know, things that 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.760 we are dealing with here in the primordial soup. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.040 Like how do I get the lid off this thing? 0:15:53.680 --> 0:16:00.600 Little more like how should civilizations be organized? Okay, side 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.000 show Bob Wrights on the top of the drones. Isn't 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.600 it funny that we have more verified photos of Hunter's 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.200 junk than these drones. I'm starting to come on, I 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.040 did not see Hunter Biden's junk entering into the conversation 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.880 comparison there it is. I'm starting to think this is 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.960 this is nothing more than our generation's War of the worlds. 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:21.920 Thanks Bob Well. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.280 Trump was asking about this at the press conference sation day. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.680 I thought his answer was damned interesting. We'll play that 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.040 for you coming home. Then, Shaun ways In. I mean, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.160 it could be the DoD but why did the drones 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.040 force Right Patterson Air Base to close on Friday. I'm 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.080 not saying it's the enemy, but I'm thinking you're given 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.120 these morons too much credit, Like, what about the Biden 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.800 administration has led you to think they're on this. Hell, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.400 we're probably about a week away from Harris being appointed. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.640 Drones are Yeah, they didn't close an air Force base. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.640 Briefly, you'd think if the government was behind the drones, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.800 the government would be able to tell the Airporce base 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.240 you don't need to close it's us. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.560 Yeah, yeah, you would, unless it was just so top 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.320 secret that, hey, look, air Force is going to be 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.399 inconvenience for a couple of days. But we've got to 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:06.400 do this again. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.679 Trump was asked about it. I thought his answer was interesting, 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.280 among other things, on the ways they do. 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:13.000 Armstrong and getty. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:15.439 We'll take a look at TikTok. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.960 You know, I have a warm spot in my heart 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.880 for TikTok because I won Youth by thirty four points. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.040 And there are those that say that TikTok has something 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.080 to do with that TikTok had an impact. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.600 And so we're taking a look at it. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.080 But you know, we won youth. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.760 Republicans are always thirty points down in youth. 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.040 Trump is such a negotiator, and that's what he has 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.840 been his whole life. I mean, the whole will take 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:44.119 a look at that is just it's just it's just 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.600 a what do you got for me? That's what that is. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.400 Yes, And the fact that his reaction when asked about 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.960 TikTok was not about the national security of the United 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.240 States but how it benefited him is well that's Trump. 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.040 Well yeah, also, but you know, he's he's he's wanting 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:07.119 somebody to come forward with enough money or giveaways or 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.800 something to get him to change his mind. He's just 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.080 he's he's he's the negotiator, and he's always open. I'm 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.480 always open. Make an offering. Is everything is up. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.280 For negotiation, make an offer. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.360 Well, and some big money guy out there heard in effect, 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.600 you know, Trump is pro TikTok. We could probably get 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.120 some pretty good policy. Maybe we do try to buy 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:29.840 it from the Chinese. 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.000 I guess my point was he he just never closes 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.480 the door on anything like like we've you know, we 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.800 have agents that have shown that sort of thing. U 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.879 and TikTok's set to go away what middle of January. 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.200 I mean, it's going to not be a thing in 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.280 the United States in the middle of January unless something 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.680 big happens. And uh, maybe the biggest opponent of TikTok 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.600 in the entire US government is Marco Rubio, who's been 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.520 on every talk show he could get on for years 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.720 now talking about how it's insane that we allow TikTok 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.919 in this country. And that's Trump's Secretary of State. So 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.320 it'd be interesting to see how that plays out. As 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.160 they pointed out on Foction. 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.440 Friends this morning, quoting Marco Rubio. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:15.040 You download the TikTok app, they immediately the Chinese Communist 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.879 Party has access to everything in your phone immediately when 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:19.840 you download that app. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.480 I think it's We're such a dope as a country. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.760 We really are. It is nuts, of course it's not. 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.080 And in addition to that, and then I'll move on 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.080 from TikTok because I wasn't planning to talk TikTok, but 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.159 in addition to the fact that they have access to 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.520 all your infos so basically, you know, get into everything, 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.880 build a profile on you, steal information, all that sort 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.600 of stuff. They're putting out all this news that is 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:47.200 pro China's agenda and anti Vus agenda and whatever. 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:48.920 Smart person who has listened to on cable. 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.400 News today said, TikTok is going to be full of news. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.679 And since our young people get half their news from 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.000 TikTok about why the tariffs against China are horrible and 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.399 shouldn't happen, how they're hurting them, right, and so we 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.000 let our young people be educated on all the issues 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:06.840 by the Chinese Communist Party. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.800 Well, they're being stupefied. They're stupid ofied half the time, 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.960 and the other half of the time they're being misinformed 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.320 for the purposes of cheshin ping. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.400 But there are funny videos. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.320 Oh come on, is there any country that's got any 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:24.920 sense left? 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:25.640 I'll move there. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.560 I'm sure there's lots of these, But I saw the 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.399 one yesterday where it's popular now to have T shirts 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.760 that have the what do you call that symbol thing 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.919 on where you put your phone over it with the 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.480 picture like the menus at restaurants now, Oh QR code, Yeah, 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.280 QR coat on T shirts and you do the QRE 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.600 because they're curious, you do the qrqte on the guy's 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.760 T shirt and it's the Trump Trump doing the Trump dance. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:52.879 Yes, yeah, that's so funny. Speaking of Trump press. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:58.400
