1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, I'm strong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Jetty and now hey, I'm strong and Getty.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: Well accept Tomblain.

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: Right.

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: So, at the early times we endorsed Karen Bass. I

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: think right now in front that's a mistake and we

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: admit that. So I thought it was very early important

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: early on for me to come out, and I think

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: we were one of the few to say competence matters.

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: This is wild.

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like dreams coming true. Guy runs

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: the LA Times saying it was a mistake to endorse

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Karen Bass.

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: That's fantastic. Yeah, that's fantastic.

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: And Wall Street Journal out with the story today. Los

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Angeles fire response gives new amutation ammunition to Mayor Karen

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Bass's arch rival. If you followed the race at all

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: in LA and we did somewhat, Rick Caruso, the billionaire

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: real estate developer, lost to Karen Bass after.

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: Spending a tremendous amount of money.

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: But now, according to Pollie a polling, is seen in

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: a much better light and is leading the charge against her,

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: and at least according to the Wall Street Journal, is

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: going to People are talking about him running for governor

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, and this might be his moment.

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: So keep your eye on that dude in California.

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, his his campaign for mayor was extremely reasonable. He's

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: nobody's idea of an arch conservative. But Karen Bass has

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: the unions as the public employee unions, the teachers unions, communists.

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: We got to stop electing Marxists to various positions in

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: big cities.

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: Around the country as a guideline for which candidates to back.

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: I think that's a good one to start with.

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about just no communists, no Marxists anyway. Having

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: said that, the giant, cataclysmic, unbelievable, still continuing fires in

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: the LA area are continuing to have effects, both political

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: and non political. Interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: today about the armed home owners who are defying the

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: rules of LA's burn zones. And I don't want to

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: focus on the conflict between the rules and what they're doing,

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: because according to the accounts that I've heard and read,

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: there is a slightly uneasy but respectful relationship between the

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: homeowners and the cops who are in charge of not

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: letting anybody in For instance, there's a story of one guy.

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: He's an attorney, I believe, well into.

47
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: His fifties, but he is staying in his home and

48
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: talking to the authorities, kind of an unofficial ambassador of

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: the people who are staying put and not evacuating.

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: They're guarding their homes from looters and scumbag.

51
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: Sure, and and don't and aren't worried about fire apparently

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: right not at this point, or or just not worried.

53
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: But at one point he meets a friend at the

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: yellow caution tape and she's unloading supplies for him and

55
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: a couple of the other people, and one of the

56
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: cops says, hey, can you guys hurry up. We just

57
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: got in order not to allow any supplies through, So I.

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: Appreciate why wouldn't you allow supplies through?

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: Well, the authorities on high, unlike the cops on the street,

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: are saying no, if if we allow these people to

61
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: resupply themselves and and stay.

62
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: There, they're going to stay there.

63
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: And we want everybody for you right there my freaking house.

64
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: If I need water to stay here to keep scumbags

65
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: from stealing my stuff, I want water.

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable. If we resupply. These people will stay here.

67
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah it's my god danged house.

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, exactly, And I understand that the higher ups,

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: the administrators, say, well, this complicates our efforts, et cetera,

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: et cetera. If we completely clear a zone, then we

71
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: know any human being in it is a looter and

72
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: can deal with them accordingly.

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: I get that, But well, sure, sure, seems like an

74
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: awful lot of looting happens anyway, So I'm going to

75
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: stay in my house if I don't think a fire's

76
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: coming and protect my own dang stuff.

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Right.

78
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: One of the most important messages of the modern world

79
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: has been don't do anything to protect yourself and your

80
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: loved ones against predators or anything. Trust the authorities they

81
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 4: will protect you, and of course they don't. But anyway,

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: so a handful of these folks are hanging around. They're

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 4: warding off looters. They are either getting supplies from outside

84
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: or here's one gal who had prepared. She has a

85
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: natural gas generator that supplies twin to kill a watts

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: of power. Why that's plenty or a little or I

87
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: don't know, uh enough for several refrigerators, making her one

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: of the few neighbors with electricity. She has sixty gallons

89
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: of drinking water in the basement, as well as a

90
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: reverse osmosis water filter and hot.

91
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: Water tanks for showering.

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: She says, Yeah, my old neighbor was a real prepper

93
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 4: and I learned from him. She also replaced her wood

94
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: shingles on her roof with concrete ones. She says, I

95
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: don't know if that's why my house survived, but it

96
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: didn't hurt.

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: Well.

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: Would you just guess in the Los Angeles, California, if

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: the authorities were going to go too far toward protecting

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: your personal freedom and ability to take care of your

101
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: own stuff, or go too far in front in terms

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: of we do what we want, you do what we say.

103
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: Which do you think it would probably be? Oh? See,

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: honestly the latter, clearly.

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: In fact, here's Brian Rice, president of the California Professionals

106
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: Firefighters Union. Know, I'm sure as a fine fellow, but

107
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: POLAE and fire officials say they're keeping residents from returning

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: to burned neighborhoods because of such hazards as down power

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 4: lines and precarious fire weaken trees, and Brian says, do

110
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: not go back in there.

111
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Do not sneak in there. It's not worth losing your

112
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: life over. Okay, you can warn me, that's fine. Then

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I do I make my own decision. Yeah, and I'm fine.

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: I've always with all these deals. I've always been fine

115
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: with the And then you don't have to come rescue me.

116
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I made that decision, so you know, you don't have

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: to risk a firefighter or something like that to come

118
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: get me. I made the decision, and I'm going in.

119
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: It's my freaking house.

120
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, I we a lot of people, the

121
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: folks listening are perfectly comfortable with that relationship with the government. I,

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: as a citizen, have made a decision. And I not

123
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: only do I not resist the idea that I will

124
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: feel the consequences of my decision.

125
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: I embrace that sure, the whole fact. I cherish it.

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Like now I'm going to ride out the hurricane. I

127
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: decide to write out the hurricane. You don't need to

128
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: send people in to rescue me.

129
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: It's my decision, right, So Ross Gerber, who's Palace Pacific

130
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: Palisades resident? I'm sorry, I'm reading ahead and organizing, baba,

131
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: But he's among those who've been sneaking past police to

132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: check on his house. Official edicts be damned. He says,

133
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: I have no patience for any of them. After you

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: survive this, you don't care what they say. But Tuesday

135
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: he tried it again. He was thwarted. He was on

136
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: the phone talking to a reporter. I'm trying to sneak

137
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: in right now, and it's super hard. They are everywhere now,

138
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: police ad entry points tight as hell. There are literally

139
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: so many police, he said. North Korea is easier, but

140
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: that to me is good though.

141
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: I want that sort of police presence.

142
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: If you assure me that, hey, we told you to evacuate,

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: you evacuated, your house will not be looted, well, then

144
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I want it to be damned impossible to get in

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: announce I don't know. They could probably explain it to me,

146
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: but I don't understand why. It's not as simple as, okay,

147
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you got it all cordoned off. But if I show

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: up with an ID that's obviously me with the address

149
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: of down there, you let me.

150
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: In, right And if I don't have that idea and

151
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: I'm clearly light a night stick upside down. That was

152
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: a parody that was humor for the purposes of entertainment.

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead and whack them, hit them, hit them more importantly,

154
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: perhaps in defensive gouging.

155
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: A great think piece in the Free Press today. But

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: we've gone all of this argument enough. I think I'll

157
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: just wing it. Here's the deal, and they're talking about

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: lumber and water and a couple of other things.

159
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: Rent is a little different situation.

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: But Karen Bass who's a communist, and Gavin Newsom, who's

161
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: a liar and half a communist, are making loud noises

162
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: that we won't.

163
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 6: Let any price gouging take place. We won't let people

164
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: raise the prices more than a small percentage. All right,

165
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 6: you ninnies, you have just made it inevitable that there

166
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 6: will not be enough supplies.

167
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: For instances bottled water. Why would there?

168
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna run out of bottled water at the convenience store,

169
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna do whatever they can to get

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: more because they're not making any more than their normal profit.

171
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: Well right, and so why would they incur any more

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: than their normal normal costs. I mean, it would be

173
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: lovely and it does happen that companies would say, well,

174
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna lose a bunch of money, but

175
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: we're gonna ship a bunch of bottled water or plywood,

176
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: or generators or chainsaws or whatever to the trouble zone.

177
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 4: Here's the deal. You let that price go up three

178
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: hundred percent. The price has quadrupled.

179
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm Joe's chainsaws two states away. I am loading up

180
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: my car, my truck, my wife's car with every chainsaw

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: we got, and I am flooding that area with.

182
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: Chainsaws, and so are a thousand other people. You know

183
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: what happens nearly instantaneously. If you let the free market work,

184
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: that price plunges.

185
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: And you wouldn't have to be two states away.

186
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: It could be loading up a truck with bottled water

187
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: in Baker's field.

188
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: If the price gets expensive in it well right.

189
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: And you end up with one thousand times as much

190
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: water there.

191
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: There's a very temporary blip where the.

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Quote unquote gouging takes place, and then the market is

193
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: flooded with goods because it is worth incurring the extra

194
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: costs to get them there.

195
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: More people do well.

196
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Almost immediately if you let the free market work. If

197
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: you restrict that price, no more chainsaws will flow in,

198
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: no more water, no more plywood.

199
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: There will be terrible scarcity.

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know I need a smart person who explain

201
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: to me how it works for hotel rooms. Since you

202
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: can't flood in more hotel rooms, do they get to

203
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: gouge and now only the rich get to get a

204
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: hotel room.

205
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: I would tend to err in that direction, just because

206
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 4: there's such scarcity anyway, The number of people you're helping

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 4: and or hurting by instituting that sort of price control

208
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: is so small. But you've introduced into society the idea

209
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: that the government gets to do this. So I tend

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: to be very free market on that. But you're right,

211
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: it's very different. You can't flood a mark it with

212
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: hotel rooms. Our good friends that simply save home security

213
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: a well timed message. You're not in a disaster zone,

214
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: but you're just in one of America's blue cities or

215
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: states where crime is a rampant. You want to protect

216
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: your stuff, you want to protect your loved ones. No

217
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 4: better choice than simply safe.

218
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I can jump on my cameras right now in my home.

219
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: There are people there. But I could jump on my

220
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: cameras and watch the people in my home with the

221
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: simply safe system that I set up. I had a

222
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: system at my last rental. Then I moved to a

223
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: bigger house, added some cameras and sensors. By going to

224
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: the website, it was super easy. I set it up myself.

225
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: That's one of the cool things. And right now, fifty

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: percent off your new simply Safe system when you order

227
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: and listen to this simply Safe Active Guard outdoor protection

228
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: helps prevent break ins before they happen.

229
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: AI powered cameras and live professionals monitor your property and

230
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: they figure out if somebody is acting suspiciously and they

231
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 4: can talk to them, tell them to get the all

232
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: away or contact the police. No long term contracts or

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: cancelation fees, and that unbelievable monitoring starts around a buck

234
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: at day. It's so much better than the old system.

239
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: There's no safe like simply Safe.

240
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: We are very pro cop around here in law enforcement

241
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. I understand some of

242
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: the arguments around this, you know, not letting people back

243
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: in but we all know intuitively, and we certainly saw

244
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: it through COVID, where it very quickly can turn from

245
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: this is the best thing to do to because I

246
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: said so, it's just a I have the power to

247
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: do this, and I'm going to do it.

248
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: Fang that just exists in us. It's human nature apparently.

249
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 4: Oh all right, and or we need compliance or there's

250
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: going to be chaos. Make damn sure the reason you're

251
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: demanding compliance is a good one in a free society.

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: And boy did California especially air way too far in

253
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: the other direction during COVID.

254
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Marco Rubia said something interesting in his confirmation hearing already today.

255
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll play that he's going to be our next

256
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: secretary of State if you have any comments on any

257
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: of the stuff we said text line four one five

258
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: two nine five k FTC.

259
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 7: While America far too often continued to prioritize the global

260
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 7: order above our core national interests, other nations continue to

261
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 7: act the way countries always have. Awesome back door, I

262
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 7: get bilingual protesters, is I think is an into cool?

263
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: As you know, that's the first here, at least in

264
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: recent times.

265
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: All right, Marco Rubio, at this opening statement, I am

266
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: so excited about him being Secretary of State. He is

267
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. I agree with his positions

268
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: on most things. I like that he's so good with

269
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: the media. He's going to be on all those talk

270
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: shows for the next maybe four years and kill it

271
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: with those.

272
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: You have been great on pointing out how Republicans go

273
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: on these shows and they get to hell beat out

274
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: of them, and they don't fight back. They just sit

275
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: there and take it. They don't defend their point of

276
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: view aggressively. Rubio will not make that error.

277
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: No, he's pretty good at that.

278
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: He also said something pretty important a second ago, but

279
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: let's hear a little bit of this.

280
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if we need the whole thing or up.

281
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 7: Out of the triumphalism of the end of the co

282
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 7: long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus, And this consensus

283
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 7: was that we had reached the end of history, that

284
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 7: all of the nations of the world would now become

285
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 7: members of the democratic, Western led community, that a foreign

286
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 7: policy that served the national interest could now be replaced

287
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 7: by one that served the liberal world order, and that

288
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 7: all mankind was now destined to abandon national sovereignty and

289
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 7: national identity and would instead become one human family and

290
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 7: citizens of the world. This wasn't just a fantasy, we

291
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 7: now know, it was a dangerous delusion here in America

292
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 7: and in many of the advanced economies across. An almost

293
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 7: religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense

294
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 7: of our national economy trunk the middle class, left the

295
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has

296
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 7: pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and

297
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: of rivals. An irrational zeal for a maximum freedom of

298
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 7: movement of people has resulted in a historic mass migration

299
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 7: crisis here in America, but also around the world. It's

300
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 7: one that threatens the stability of societies and of governments.

301
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 7: Across the West, governments now censor and even prosecute domestic

302
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 7: political opponents. Meanwhile, radical jihadists openly march in the streets

303
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 7: and sadly drive vehicles into our people.

304
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: While America far too.

305
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 7: Often continued to prioritize the global order above our core

306
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 7: national interests, other nations continue to act the way countries

307
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 7: always have.

308
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: That is pretty maga.

309
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: I loved it, loved it. Yeah, A couple of good

310
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: points there, Go.

311
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Ahead, He also said this, which gives you a pretty

312
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: good inkling of where Trump is on the whole Ukraine thing.

313
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: Marco Rubios calling for concessions and resolving the Ukraine Russia war,

314
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: adding there's no way Russia takes all of Ukraine. But

315
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: it's also unrealistic that Ukraine will push Russia back to

316
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: where it began at the start of the conflict, which

317
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: is an announcement that you know, we're not on board

318
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: with Ukraine gets all the territory back, which is Zelensky

319
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: has even said recently for the first time.

320
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm much more interested in governance and policy than

321
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: constantly being obsessed with politics.

322
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: So I apologize for pointing this out. Marco.

323
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: I think, after a stint as secretary of State, is

324
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: going to be a formidable presidential prospect, and I hope

325
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: he and j D don't spend the next four years

326
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: knifing each other in the back.

327
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Laane in bed, What a dumb thing

328
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: to think about Laine in bed today, But I was

329
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: thinking Laine in bed. Have we ever had a secretary

330
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: of state become President? Jefferson?

331
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: But other than that, Carrie tried, I don't know.

332
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a springboard of the presidency

333
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: being Secretary of State.

334
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: John Quincy Adams, I don't know. I don't know. It's

335
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: it's a rarity. Clearly it was the point. It's not

336
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: a trivia contest. Joe making a.

337
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: Point, well made.

338
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: Oh, speaking of yelling, another near congressional cat fight. You

339
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: remember that whole bad built, bleached blonde, beach bad body

340
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 4: whatever the little girl dad built butch body. Oh we

341
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 4: got another one of those chafing up, didn't oh with

342
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 4: racial overtones.

343
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: Of baby girl.

344
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, stop ladies, ladies. So that whatever that is.

345
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: Among other things on.

346
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: The way, Oh boy, Armstrong and Getty.

347
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: A great montage of some of the highlights from yesterday's

348
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Pete hegseth hearing in just a moment that convinced me

349
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: that he ought at least take a shot at this

350
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: and see how it works out of him being Secretary

351
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: of Defense. So the FDA is doing some stuff in

352
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: their final days, you know, or in the final days

353
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of these people. They're doing some last

354
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: minute things.

355
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: This one.

356
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: From now on, the nutrition labels not only will have

357
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: the how much saturated fat and added sugars and stuff

358
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: like that, which I appreciate. I don't know, but if

359
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: it needs to be a government law, but I like

360
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: knowing how much added sugar is in something. But it's

361
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: also going to include what percent of your daily value

362
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: of that it is to do the math for you.

363
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: So I already have that, apparently not maybe that's not required.

364
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: It's common.

365
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if I noticed that before, but AnyWho, Yeah,

366
00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: I look.

367
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: At Sody him mostly number of products have that, but

368
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 4: you know that one. You know, it's more meddling. But

369
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 4: at least it's not like some of the other last

370
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 4: minute Biden edicts that are fundamentally changing, you know, regulations

371
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 4: and laws in ways that will take a long long

372
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: time con tangle on their way out the doors.

373
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: Look, you lost the election. Have some class just go right?

374
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: That is annoying.

375
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: So Pete hagg Zeth, combat veteran, awarded combat veteran Fox

376
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: and Friends host hasn't run giant organizations, that's the knock

377
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: on him. But he can hire people right below him

378
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: that have run giant organizations.

379
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: You see.

380
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: And there's a long history of unconventional surprising picks being

381
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 4: absolute heroes. Now some of them fail too, but the

382
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 4: idea that.

383
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: We must pick someone who's utterly conventional, says.

384
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 3: Who, well, let me, I didn't. I didn't do this yet.

385
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal had an opinion piece on Hegzeth

386
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: and they said, mate, mister, mister Heth made noises about

387
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: restoring US military deterrence, and that's something. But it appears

388
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: we're on track to have a Secretary of Defense whose

389
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: real views are a mystery. Let's hope he rises to

390
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: the occasion. The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal,

391
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: their big knock was that Republicans or Democrats didn't really

392
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: get to his worldview philosophy of deterring, you know, fight

393
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: in battles on a you know, a big picture near

394
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: as much as the drinking and crowsing and all that

395
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.

396
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 4: Right right now, the second death doesn't like design foreign policy. No,

397
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 4: but I suppose it would be helpful to know whether

398
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: he's in sync with the rest of the administration.

399
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: I guess.

400
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

401
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's a montage of question and answers from yesterday

402
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: that I thought was really good.

403
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 8: Should we take it to believe that you believe that

404
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 8: the two women on this committe who have served honorably

405
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 8: and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable.

406
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 9: I'm incredibly grateful for the two women who served our

407
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 9: military in uniform and including in the Central Intelligence Agency.

408
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 9: Contributions on the battlefield indispensable contribution. Senator, I would like

409
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 9: to clarify when I'm talking about that issue, It's not

410
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 9: about the capabilities of men and women. It's about standards.

411
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 10: Are you saying the fifty percent of the DoD if

412
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 10: they hold liberal views or leftist views, or our Democrats,

413
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 10: are not welcome in the military.

414
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: Are you saying that, Senator.

415
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 9: I volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan under Democrat President Barack Obama.

416
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 9: I also volunteered to guard the inauguration of Joe Biden,

417
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 9: but was denied the opportunity to serve because I was

418
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 9: identified as an extremist by my own unit for a

419
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 9: Christian tattoo.

420
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 5: Would you use our military to take over Mainland or.

421
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: Oh Denmark? Senator?

422
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 9: One of the things that President Trump is so good

423
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 9: at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I

424
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 9: would never in this public forum give one way or

425
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 9: another direct what orders the president mean in any context.

426
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 5: You're quite sure that every general who serves should not

427
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 5: go directly into the defense industry for ten years. You're

428
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: not willing to make that same pledge.

429
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: I'm not a general, Senator.

430
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 10: Can you give me an experience or your actual experience

431
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 10: of driving innovation in an organization.

432
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: Give me an example of where you have done.

433
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 9: My goodness center absolutely a concerned Veterans for America. We

434
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 9: created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan

435
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 9: task force that never been done before, to create policy,

436
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 9: to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought

437
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 9: ferociously against.

438
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 8: Have you been personally involved in discussions of using the

439
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 8: US military active duty inside the United States?

440
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: Senatra, I'm fine.

441
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 9: I'm glad we finally got to the topic of border

442
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 9: security equaling national security because it's been abdicated and ignored.

443
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 9: I have been involved in conversations relating to doing things

444
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 9: this administration has not, which is secure the southern border.

445
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: There's a lot of really good answers there.

446
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 4: I would say absolutely now that slurring ninny you heard

447
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 4: in the middle who was asking would you did.

448
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: You obey an ordered to invade Green Are we thank

449
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: you Denmark? Are you Denmark? We be willing to attack Denmark.

450
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: That was Mazie Herono of Hawaii.

451
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 4: And for the record, Matt and Honolulu wrote a very

452
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 4: nice letter to us and all of you, apologizing on

453
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 4: behalf of his state for Maizie Herono, who is clearly

454
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: the stupidest member of either House of Commerce. All you

455
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: can ask for is a man full apology. Matt has

456
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 4: offered it. Hawaii, you are forgiven mostly, but get it

457
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: right next election. Speaking of Pete hegseeth and the hearing,

458
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 4: if you miss this, oh you know what, folks, you're

459
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: gonna hear a.

460
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: Term here that is harsh. And I apologize.

461
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: I take no childish delight, but it's impossible to discuss

462
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: without mentioning it.

463
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what this is. There was a.

464
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: Prolonged discussion and our topic heading here is the idiotic

465
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: wastes of time questions asked by Democrats. There was a

466
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 4: long discussion as to the meaning of the word jag

467
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 4: off with a G with a j an antiquated schoolyard

468
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: insult from our a day as as young lads.

469
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Well get jay at the beginning, But the second consonant

470
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: is that a G jag.

471
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: Yes, jag off yes, indeed, so stay tuned. That first though,

472
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: another one of the you know, it's not idiotic, it's

473
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 4: at least fairly reasonable discussions in principle, does the dude

474
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 4: have a drinking problem?

475
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: My shop teacher in high school called called me mister Kanoffer.

476
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: Your first name being Jack.

477
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: Correct, that's childish and idiotic, even like not an educator.

478
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, we were fifteen year olds. The other kids thought

479
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: it was funny. I don't know that I appreciate it,

480
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: mister Kanoffer. If you could bring that over here.

481
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's just that's orderline child abuse, Kattie. Another common

482
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 3: last name for a Jack would be me Hoff.

483
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, yes, a world famous. Certainly, Can we move

484
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 4: on anyway?

485
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: My shop teacher probably, Well, first of all, they don't

486
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: have shop anymore because they don't want kids working with

487
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: their hands.

488
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 4: Every single kid needs a phony high school diploma, aim

489
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: at getting them to a phony college to get a

490
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: phony diploma there having learned nothing, and the trades are

491
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: insulting in a stupid way to make a living. According

492
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 4: to you know, much of America's certainly academiic.

493
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine in a school today that a

494
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: teacher would call a kid named Jack mister canoffer yes.

495
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 3: Yes.

496
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 4: On the other hand, here we go back to the

497
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 4: topic of the day, which I've damned near forgotten.

498
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.

499
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: So a couple of anonymous sources, in particular, one disgruntled

500
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: former employee said that hegxeth was they could smell alcohol

501
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 4: on his breath at work events once or twice, as

502
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 4: if that's some sort of horror, especially if you're a

503
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: CEO and you're raising money and going to events all

504
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: the time, that sort of thing. Anyway, I thought Mark

505
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: Wayne Mullen, the fabulous Senator from Oklahoma, was absolutely right

506
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: on with his comments seventy six Michael.

507
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 10: Senator Kane or I guess I better use the centaer

508
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 10: for for genius bringing up the fact that what if

509
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 10: you showed up drunk to your job? How many Senators

510
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 10: have showed up drunk to vote at night?

511
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: Have any of you.

512
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 10: Guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?

513
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 10: And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I

514
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 10: know you have.

515
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: And then how many.

516
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 10: Senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating

517
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 10: on their wives? Did you ask them to step down?

518
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: No?

519
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 10: But it's for show, you guys, make sure you make

520
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 10: a big show and point out the hypocrisy because a

521
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 10: man's made a mistake and you want to sit there

522
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 10: and say that he's not qualified.

523
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: Give me a joke.

524
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 10: It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as

525
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 10: this higher standard. Do you forget you got a big

526
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 10: plank in your eye?

527
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: You know? I mentioned earlier Mark Alperton, his newsletter today

528
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: was talking about the blocking and tackling nuts and bolts.

529
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: The Trump administration did a good job of partially like

530
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: getting enough people in there that would laugh at Hexeth's jokes.

531
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: Well you saw it right there, the people laughing.

532
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: When he said have any of you shown up drunk

533
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: to vote?

534
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: Really?

535
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Lands? I mean it helps it Land, it doesn't made

536
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: the line work. Yeah, yeah, a great love Mark Waine Mullen.

537
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: A shout out to Mark Qwain and his family who

538
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: are super nice. We met them and chatted for quite

539
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: a while at the RNC. Anyway, give me the I

540
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: don't want the sec depth to be stumbling through the hall.

541
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 11: China has a tax Sha Shah who obviously but yeah,

542
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 11: but then going super puritan like if he's ever had

543
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 11: a drink, it's some sort of horror.

544
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: It is hilarious.

545
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and if you thought that was dumb, because

546
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 4: again it's it's worth at least inquiring if there's reasonable

547
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: testimony that the guy's got a drinking problem. But he

548
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: just sounds like a combat veteran who likes to have

549
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: a drink now and again me so it's okay to

550
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 4: ask the question, but to be labor it is silly.

551
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: That was just in Washington, d C. Do you remember

552
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: what the biggest statue in front of the Capitol is.

553
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: Right across the street. It is of Ulysses S.

554
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Grant, who was quite a drinker and perhaps our best

555
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: general in US history, And there's a giant statue of

556
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: them from the Capitol. So I don't know that's a

557
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: disqualifying trait. It's all for show.

558
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: It's it's grand standing, it's it's virtue signaling. So one

559
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: of the stranger moments for Pete Hegseth yesterday was when

560
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 4: a senator asked the former fighting man and Fox News

561
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 4: host to define the word jag off. The question from

562
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: Senator Jack Reid, Democrat of Rhode Island and the ranking

563
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 4: member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was prompted by

564
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: a comment that mister hags Hath made to his military platoon,

565
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: as he wrote in his twenty twenty four books The

566
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: War on Warriors, he made the comment during his Iraq

567
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: deployment after hearing a presentation by a JAG officer, that

568
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 4: is a military lawyer judge advocate general who they defend

569
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: army soldiers in legal matters. But he and his team

570
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 4: were briefed by the JAG officer on the proper protocols

571
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: for when and how they could fire on an enemy

572
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 4: with a rocket propelled grenade. Mister Hegseth disparaged one of

573
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: the rules of engagement, saying it was going to get

574
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: people killed, and during the hearing on Tuesday, mister Hegseth

575
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: at first declined to define the slang term with a

576
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: sly smile. I don't need to, sir, he said. The

577
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: men and women watching understand. But when pressed, because you've

578
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 4: got to press him on what did you mean by

579
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 4: jag off, he said it would be a JAG officer

580
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: who puts his or her own priorities in front of

581
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: the warfighters, who puts their promotions and their medals in

582
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: front of having the backs of those making the tough

583
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: calls on the front line.

584
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: It's the plan. We called them the plan.

585
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Words referring to a common term for a male masturbation

586
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: is where the whole thing comes together.

587
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: And jag office, sir jag office, sir jag off.

588
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: Of its ears, mister Senator, sir.

589
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Now, if we could move on to the meaning of

590
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: motor boating and scissor.

591
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: Sisters a good lord.

592
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, good time, good time spent their Senator. It

593
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: is a mark that they do try to keep things

594
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: civil that nobody brought up Senator Blumenthal's stolen valor deal,

595
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 4: fake falsely claiming to be a Vietnam combat veteran.

596
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: Good the good Senator from Virginia, explain to me what

597
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: a Cleveland steamer is.

598
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: Okay, we're done here.

599
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: Coming up another near cat fight in the halls of Congress.

600
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: Great Scott, ladies, that's next, stay with us. Well, let's

601
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: set this scene jack our theme congressional cat fights.

602
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: Who could forget this classic.

603
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if any of the Democrats on

604
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: this committee are employing Judge Mershawn's daughter, what.

605
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: It has to do with Mary Garland? Do you do

606
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: you know what we're here for? I think your fake

607
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: eyelashes are messing up nothing.

608
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 8: That is absolutely unacceptable.

609
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: How dare you pers are your feelings her? Oh girl,

610
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: baby girl? Oh really, don't even play baby girl.

611
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: We are gonna we need more of that, not less.

612
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: There is more of it.

613
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 12: I'm just curious just to better understand your ruling. If

614
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 12: someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde,

615
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 12: bad built, bush body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct,

616
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 12: what now.

617
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: I make a motion to strike those I don't think

618
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: that's all.

619
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 12: Trying to find clarification on what QUIRE.

620
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: Said. We're not gonna We're not gonna do this like

621
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: you guys earlier. Literally just you just voted, voted.

622
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: All right, So that was obviously MTG and Jasmine Crockett

623
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: of Texas, who's involved also in the latest practice, Michael.

624
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 13: We need civil rights to protect all people, especially trans Americans,

625
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 13: who are under attack. Right now, I would like to

626
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 13: yield the rest of my time to the gentle lady

627
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 13: who is carrying the amendment.

628
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 12: I don't even know how we we got there, because

629
