WEBVTT - A Bowl Of Candy For Breakfast

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Getty and know he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Good to hear it. I got a couple of sick

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>kids in my house. Always a dragon.

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, there's so many bugs going around.

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this one includes vomiting, which hasn't happened yet in

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>my home. Thank goodness. That's that's a that's a long night.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Whenever that happens.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Stop at the wall, murder the tarja your choice. Buy

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of bathroom sized trash cans, litter them around,

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>seat them around the house everywhere.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I got one kid that can make it to a

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>trash can when that happens, but one that can't. I've

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>never been in instant like as mentioned, this happened at

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>band practice. I'm sorry this is gross, but somebody at

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the band practice the other night vomited all over their

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 2>drum and then the band teacher was running around. Oh

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>my god, oh my god. Oh but I've never took

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>so gross. I've never had the out of nowhere. Mine's

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>always like way lead up. It's almost like I get

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>an email you're gonna vomit in about a half an hour,

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and I mean I got a tremendous lead up in

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 2>time to deal it. You end up having to root

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>for it. Yeah, he can, we get this over with place, right.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I've never had to just out of nowhere. Surprises me. Uh,

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>unless it was drinking. Apparently, I've been told that I

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>had had that happen a few times when I was drinking.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not aware of this situation, but that's would have

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>been described to me all over the inside of my

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>friend's new car.

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Yep, oh boy, oh boy, this is apropos nothing. Then

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>we can get onto the business of the day. But

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>JP in Central Illinois where I used to live, just

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>sent this this tweet from this woman I've never heard of.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But this is the entire thing. Violence is not the answer.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.279
<v Speaker 1>The answer is opens history book.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh oh.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Frantically starts flipping through the pages. Oh oh, oh, no, no, no, no,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>uh oh.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I get to the point.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, violence has never solved anything except Nazism, communism,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>England's oppression of the colonies, on and on and on

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and on.

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Ending slavery, all kinds of different things. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>so much is being made of the moment Trump is

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>having right now where he's never been higher in his

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>life than he is at age seventy eight, the highest

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>approval ratings, the highest people from all quarters coming to

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>try to get, you know, his approval or wanting his approval.

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just stunning. It's quite stunning. And I'll read through

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>some of the analysis of this today in Mark Alpern's

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 2>newsletter that I thought was really really interesting and you're

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna like it if you're a Trump fan. But here's

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>an example of a different Trump, because you can picture

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>other ways he would have answered this. There was I

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if the questions in this or not. I'll

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>mention it just in case. It's about Republican senators who

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>don't vote for your cabinet picks. Are you going to

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>go after them? Are you going to try to you know,

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>boot them out of office? Here's Trump senators who.

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Oppose your nominees, your cabinet nominee.

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Should they be.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Promer If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 4>answer and answer that you'll be shocked to hear. If

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 4>they're unreasonable, if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 4>stupid reasons, I would say, has nothing to do with me.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I would say they probably would be primary. But if

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 4>they're reasonable, fair and really disagree with something or somebody, I.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Could see that happening.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 4>But I do believe that if they're unre I think

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 4>we have great people. I think we have a great

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 4>group of people.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>That's not Donald Trump of the last nine years.

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>No, No, as long as you're reasonable, yeah, we can

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about it.

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>That is just a new thing. And who convinced him

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>of this? Well, you could ask, how did it take

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you this long to figure out this is a better

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>way of speaking about things? But who convinced of this?

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it Susie Wilds as it is? Campaign manager now

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:26.799
<v Speaker 2>chief of staff? Who is the breshwous death? Maybe maybe both.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll read you a couple of these things I thought

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 2>were really really interesting. What's happening during this second Trump

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>transition is notable and maybe historic, seminal and auguring for

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the future of this country. Going through some of the

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>examples here, Trump's underappreciated human intelligence has allowed him to

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>size up the macro situation in some of the individual

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>relationships and herd behavior of certain categories of Homo sapiens,

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>business leaders, heads of government, congressional big wigs, et cetera.

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>To figure out what they want and need from him.

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>He's always had that, but maybe he's just utilizing it

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>better now. While as many opponents in the press and

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party still amazingly don't get this, Trump's issue

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 2>agenda has significant appeal beyond the say it with me

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>extreme magabase, and is backed by a broad center right

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>coalition in this country, border energy, forever, wars, taxes, deregulation, woke,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and much much more. That's probably the number one thing

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the press doesn't get. He's on the right side of

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>like all the biggest issues in the country, right right.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>And we looked at poll after poll of issues before

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the election, and you know, in retrospect, it's like, how

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>could Trump lose?

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>He talks about how Trump is just flat out the

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:48.679
<v Speaker 2>second greatest political athlete since Reagan, second only to Bill Clinton,

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>and is using those skills. Points out that Trump went

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 2>five for six in nomination and generator and general election

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>contests YEP. Three nomination contests got the three nominations, three

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>presidents got two out of three, and almost that other one.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's pretty impressive record. Actually, and that's your only

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 2>political record. Trump is a great student of how to

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>obtain and use power in general and within the specific

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>context of the presidency. Is his goal is to accomplish things,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 2>to accomplish the things he wants. It only makes sense

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that if he is determined at some point, oh, I

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>will be more likely to be successful this way than

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>that way, that he changes his way of doing right.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>And even I have to remind myself why did I say?

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Even I have to remind myself What Trump says can

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>make you insane at times, although he's been much more

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>measured as we're discussing. But if you look at the

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>record of things he actually did and accomplished and the

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>way he approached various problems, it's very solid.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 2>It is hard to fit this all together with the

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>guy who claimed, you know, the two thousand mules elections stolen,

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 2>took it all the way to the matt you know,

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>on all that stuff.

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, he is an odd and complex dude.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I'd say another point, but I'd.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Rather have that odd and complex dude in the seat

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>when China does something ugly than Joe Biden, not even close.

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>This is a good one. The cultural moment that we

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>are experiencing, with the decline of woke culture and the

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>rise of all the attitude's ideas, characters, themes, and memes

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>of the Trump moment is the supercharger on the ascent

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of Trump's political power. No doubt, the dominant media is

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>weaker and more defanged than ever, making Trump's familiar litany

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>of charges against how they operate now seem to many

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>years less like sour grapes and more like righteous truth.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>From the cover up of Biden's loss of acuity to

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>the ABC News settlement the other day, to the distruction

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>of their business model for newspapers and TV, to the

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 2>rise of alternative media, to the laws of public trust,

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>all has given Trump the whipand the ox Whipand if

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you were listening to.

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>The weapon of Joyce on today's Armstrong and Getty Show,

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>not only that, but and I'm reminded, I keep going

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>back to the various polls we saw prior to the

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>election about the issue as opposed to the candidates, and

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>there was widespread perception among all sorts of people that

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the law fair against Trump was political and unfair. And

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people who even you know,

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>still hung with the mainstream media, saw all the coverage

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of the coverage of all of those those cases, and

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>never heard of George Stephanopolis say, of course, all of

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is just going after Trump because for political reasons,

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and I just I think that factored in along with

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, the covering up for Biden's senility the rest

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of it.

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 2>God, some of these are good. I won't read all

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>of them, and borrio with him, but just a couple

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>more of my favorites. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter has

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>leveled much of the high ground Democrats thought they stood

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>on to try to diminish Trump regarding democracy, special treatment,

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>rules of the game for diligited principle. Absolutely, really really

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>took a lot of the power that they might have

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>had to be, you know, above Trump away.

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, the eleven year pardon is one of

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the most transparently evil things ever done by a president

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>in it certainly in the realm of pardons.

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that one for last because it's

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorites.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>You're not boring anybody, by the way, I'm enjoying this list.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd never heard this before. Trump is a practitioner. Oh,

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>this is the one I definitely wanted to get on

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 2>because I'd never heard before. Trump is a very hard

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>worker when he needs to be. Unlike George W. Bush

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and Barack Obama, who did in many instances what they

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>perceived to be just enough to get the task done

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>at hand, Trump leaves his leads, his shoulder on the

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>grindstone several extra beats to make sure if he wants

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>something done. I thought that was interesting. I've never heard

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that before. Trump is a practitioner of the dictum that

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>if one political actor is constantly moving at eight hundred

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>miles per hour, then his adversaries cannot keep up with him.

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 2>In fact, they fall further and further behind. It just

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>goes hard and fast. Yeah. But this is the one

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely wanted to do because I think it is

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 2>so true. And I was actually thinking about this in

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>my car the other day. You find it because I

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>got a long list.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Here, he's making a list, He's checking it twice. Gotta

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 1>tell us why Trump is so nice?

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this one. I love this one. And I was

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>thinking about this when I was hearing more people talk,

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 2>just endless talk on MSNBC about whether Pete hegseeth is

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>going to get confirmed or not. Trump is not afraid

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>of failure, which means he can take the risks necessary

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 2>for success. Another transitioning president would be crying over the

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 2>spilt milk of Matt Gates, whereas Trump moved on with

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>the same consideration one would experience and moved from meeting

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the fourth tortilla chip to the fifth. Trump, as a

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>guy who had the number one TV show an America,

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>understands media better. He understands the culture and media better

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>than any of these politicians who he knows this as crap,

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 2>these inside the Beltway Washington battles where somebody wins and

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody loses. He knows, no real person pays attention to this.

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You can talk all day long and cable news about

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 2>whether they'll get confirmed, whether it's a Supreme Court justice

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>or Cabinet nominee or whatever, and where they won't and

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>who will win and who will lose, and then when

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>it ends, nobody freaking cares except for you DC pundits.

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump knows that he's so much more right about this

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>than they are. You know how many real Looking back

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>to George W. Bush, he had some thing and I

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.839
<v Speaker 2>only know this because I'm in this business. He had

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>some famous Supreme Court nominee that he put out and

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 2>got shot down real fast. No real person thinks about

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>that ever, ever, ever, ever, and hasn't since that day.

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>And Trump understands that while DC plays the game of ooh,

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>his nominee might not, might not, might might not make

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>it through, he knows that just doesn't matter. He put

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 2>up a different one. They do.

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Right. It's high school gossip in a very real way.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 1>And add to those factors the fact that Elon Musk,

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>who he's so close with right now, he is the

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>king of let's try it. If it doesn't work, we'll

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>learn from it. Don't be afraid of failure. So I

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>think you were gonna see that spirit, yeah, which I

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>think is great because I tell you what if you

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>if you could pick one. The problem with the federal

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>government is that it's too bold and innovative and willing

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to change itself or the opposite, Which would you choose.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, they're having the first DOGE meeting today with various

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>congressional people. I saw one congress person I forget the name,

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>who went and told Mike Johnson, I don't want to

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 2>be on any committees but the DOE Committee. So I

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 2>hope there's like a fever to be part of the

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 2>fixing of this problem.

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that actually going to be a committee, because I mean,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>DOGE is outside the government, but.

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Right they're going to be I don't know if it's

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 2>a I don't know if you call the committee or

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever they're going to be. They're going to be Congress

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>people involved in I think a committee, and then they

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>report to the DOGE people. The DOGE people will have

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 2>no power to actually get anything done. It's just it's,

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's basically people want to pay attention

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>to how things are spent and not spent and make

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>recommendations to DOGE.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Sure, it's an independent commission has a bully pulpit. That's great,

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that's very American, right, and.

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>A bully put put as we talked about earlier. According

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to The Washington Post, the bully pulpit in America through

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk, He's got the loudest political voice in the

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 2>whole country and can reach the most people the most quickly.

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 2>So I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, but I'm more optimistic

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>than any other way to go about this. We've got

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>more on the way. Stay tuned.

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 5>The food company Post has announced it's launching a new

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 5>Oreo themed cereal, which features crunchy and chocolate he puffs

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 5>with mini marshmallows. Oh cool, that sounds awesome, said dentists.

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that sounded horrible. Oh hm, I made my teeth hurt.

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just yeah, yeah. Don't like pump vitamins into candy

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and feed it to kids and call it cereal.

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>A bowl of candy for breakfast. Wow. Wow.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>At the opposite end of the spectrum of the very

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>adult drinking of guinness, apparently there is a worldwide shortage

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of delicious Guinness.

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I went through a Guinness face really enjoyed it. The

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Black and Tan oh Man.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, pumps up and down the UK are saying

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the running lawn Guinness after a surgeon demand that caught

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the beer's brewers off guard. Jack. Like everything, it has

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:06.119
<v Speaker 1>to do with an Internet trend or craze or sensation

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>or viral something or other.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>A challenge called exactly it's.

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Called splitting the g Splitting the g the social media

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>phenomenon which requires drinkers to down enough guinness in a

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>single gulf so that the beer sits halfway across the

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>g on the branded Guinness glass.

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Gotcha in.

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Evidently the sheep of the Internet are so numerous and

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>so enthused about whatever craze is put in front of them,

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it's now caused a like a UK wide shortage of Guinness.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you like it with the nitrogen or without? Uh?

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Either way?

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Not a huge fan. There are other things I'd rather have.

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>It'll definitely make you fat if you drink much guiness.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.479
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of calories.

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't need much help in that. But Begora, they've

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>got to brew up more guinness, he says in a

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>terrible Irish brogue, which brings me to this.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 2>The Irish and Scots.

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Are some of the best on earth of picking out

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a fake accent. Science for some reason, in the Journal

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>of Evolutionary Human Sciences tested a bunch of people from Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin,

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Northeast England, Central England, London, Essex, Bristol if they could

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>pick out who was faking their accent. And you can't fool.

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Irishmen or scotsmen.

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, probably because it's much more homogenous in London. You

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>got a dozen accents fifteen ethnicities whatever. But you go

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to Scotland fake a Scottish accent, you're gonna be on

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the receive an end of the chiley.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Or is that Ireland? I can't remember. I'm trying to

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>figure out evolutionary, evolution wise, why that would be.

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>There's got to be a reason. Yeah, I guess it'd be.

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>They'll they'll heave that big trunk they throw around in Scotland,

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>a big red haired man, a skirtle hitch over the

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>head with a big trunk.

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I know, I like it. In time, people do an

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 2>American accent. I love that Armstrong and getty. The council

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>meeting got ugly.

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 6>They narrowly approved Mayor Johnson's twenty twenty five budget, which

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 6>includes a controversial forty million dollars short term loan for

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 6>a city already swimming in debt, all part of a

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 6>chaotic hearing last night got so heated. Mayor Johnson actually

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 6>kicked out the public.

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 2>This meeting will spending releaseless.

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Arms dependent.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 2>That's Chicago, Mayor. Let's go Brendon Johnson and people very

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 2>upset about how much money they're spending on illegals. The

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 2>report on Fox goes on One of.

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 6>The main reasons residents are so upset is the Democratic

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 6>mayor's lack of transparency when it comes to using taxpayer

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 6>funds to take care of illegal immigrants. Under Mayor Johnson,

0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Chicago has already spent a whopping five hundred twenty seven

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.080
<v Speaker 6>million taxpayer dollars on the tens of thousands of illegal

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 6>immigrants living there.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Half a billion dollars they've spent on illegals so far.

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>It could really be argued.

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Chicago, the city of Chicago has, checking the constitution, zero

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>constitutional responsibility for the border, So why would they spend

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>any local money. Why wouldn't they loudly petition the federal government.

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>You caused this, you fix this. I get that there

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>are people on the streets. You can't have children starving,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 1>But why isn't everybody outraged by this.

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Here's a reporter in Chicago, these.

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Real Chicagoans, they made their voices heard. They made it

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 3>clear they don't trust Brandy Johnson. Mayor Johnson with fifty cents, okay,

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 3>they know he's just going to spend that money on

0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 3>migrants and violent teenagers. And Brandon Johnson says it himself.

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>To your question, I think at least initially it was

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 2>probably holy crap, we're a sanctuary city, and now we've

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 2>got these people here. We got to get them off

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the streets and put them somewhere or this is going

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 2>to become a problem and everybody's going to know that

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole sanctuary thing don't work. Right.

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was just reading about San Diego's decision to

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>become some sort of sanctuary city on steroids where there

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>is no cooperation with Ice. You've got the most horrendous

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>character ever in your jail, and you've got to turn

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>them loose for whatever reason. You will just never inform ICE.

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>There will never be any voluntary transfer, no notification that

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>somebody's going to get released. You know, you got to

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:47.919
<v Speaker 1>get a warrant or we're not going to tell you

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 1>whether this murder is in our jail.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Like I said Friday when we covered this, or yesterday,

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 2>or I always say, I don't understand how you make

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>this your cause. My cause in life, with my limited

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>time and resources, is going to be making sure criminal

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>don't get deported who aren't supposed to be here in

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 2>the first place. That's my cause, not foster kids, not

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, pick all the great causes exists. This is

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>my one. Some guy who's a rapist who comes in

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the United States and rape somebody. They're illegal. I don't

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 2>want them deported. That's what I'm gonna make my cause

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you people are weird, very weird. I would say, you're right.

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, put a randomly assembled list of one hundred

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 1>different causes in front of people and they would choose

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that one.

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.959
<v Speaker 2>That's very strange. Different topic. I just came across this.

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:38.120
<v Speaker 2>PolitiFact is some sort of political something or other. They

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>released their lie of the Year, their political lie of

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the Year, a lie that marked a town and its

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>residence in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd,

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 2>it was consequential. Our lie of the Year goes to

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump and JD. Vans for false claims that Haitian

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:57.159
<v Speaker 2>immigrants in Springfield were eating pet dogs and cats. I

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know who this pundit is who responded, but they're right.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I would have gone with Joe Biden is perfectly fine

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and fit to serve as president again is my lie

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 2>of the year. But that's just me.

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to blow the punchline or anything, but yeah,

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>political political, what is it?

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Political PolitiFact?

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>PolitiFact is a left wing media hack outfit.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 2>They're honestly on both sides all the way around. There

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of lies to compete with Lie of

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the Year. I mean, you could discuss, but seriously, how

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>does it get much bigger than the current president is

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 2>okay to be president in another four years when you

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 2>know he's not holy crap.

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>When he's seen island dying. But I don't remember the

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>whole eating the pets thing, Michael, Do we have any

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>audio that Mighty eating.

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 2>The people that came in.

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 4>They're eating the cats, they're eating, they're eating of the people.

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 2>That live there. So he said that in the second debate,

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 2>which was the first Kamala Harris debate, Yeah, which she

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 2>roundly trounced him, as everyone saw, and of course was

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 2>going to go on to victory at that point.

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Getting back to sweet home Chicago. I grew up right

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>outside the city. I love Chicago. Was just talking about

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>some talking to rather some fellow part time Chicagoans who

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>are telling stories of crime and how their kids don't

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 1>want to go to their place anymore. And there was

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.919
<v Speaker 1>a terrible, terrible incident involving a friend of a friend

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in which and I'll keep it vague because it was

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>very traumatic. But their daughter was hassled by Guy A

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 1>on the street corner. Guy B walks up, shoots Guy

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>A dead and keeps walking.

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:52.160
<v Speaker 1>And they were like, I didn't see nothing. I got

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 1>no part in this. We're just standing here. Really, hey,

0:22:56.280 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>guy with gun, I can't identify you. Goodbye.

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I would do in that circumstance.

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I think insanity, would you do? I think I might

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing.

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, well, especially since he has a gun and

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'd be like, dude, you and me are

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>never going to meet again.

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 2>See you later. Plus they helped me. I hate to

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 2>go like wild West sort of you know, rules of

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the game, but you helped me out, so good on you.

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>It was a neighborhood beef, by the way, as it

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 1>turns out, But anyway.

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 2>They had several beaves over the years.

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, folks, that was just an excuse for Jack to

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>use the plural of beef, which he's again beavs.

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Look it up. It is so this is so interesting.

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:53.880
<v Speaker 1>They did a study of people who carry guns, including

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago. They found that nearly one third of urban

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>residents have carried a concealed fire arm by the time

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they each by the time they reach age forty. But

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 1>there are yes, but there are very different patterns between

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:14.679
<v Speaker 1>those who began carrying as teenagers versus adults. The teens

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:19.399
<v Speaker 1>were carrying guns because they had a serious need to

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 1>protect themselves from other teens with guns.

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, can you imagine parenting in a neighborhood where you think, well,

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you involved in this sort of stuff,

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.679
<v Speaker 2>but I think for your own safety, you need to

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.880
<v Speaker 2>carry a gun. You say to your sixteen year old Wow. Yeah.

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.439
<v Speaker 1>And this for what it is worth, this study has

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 1>been going on for some like thirty years. Is it

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>follows people into adulthood and that sort of thing. Participants

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 1>from eighty of Chicago's three hundred and forty three different neighborhoods. Anyway,

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they say, among adolescents, we've found a strong association between

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>either witnessing a shooting or being shot or shot at

0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and beginning to carry soon after. The research shows that

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>teenagers witnessed or experienced gun violence were twice as likely

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to start carrying a gun themselves. Of course, however, once

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:14.359
<v Speaker 1>those teens hit adulthood, large numbers of them stopped carrying guns.

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>They thought, I don't need it anymore. I've got a job,

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I've got a family, whatever, I'm not in that life anymore.

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Whereas people who started as adult carriers started because of

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>a generalized concern about crime and violence, they were not

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>victims of or witnesses to gun violence, no direct link

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that they could find, a direct exposure, and they kept

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:36.919
<v Speaker 1>carrying and carrying and carrying.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. So some of those young people who give

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 2>up carrying a gun would say to some of those adults,

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I think, what are you doing carrying a gun? You

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>don't need a gun around here.

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, Unless you're living a life where people engage in

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>gun play fairly routinely, you're not gonna need it.

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Hm. That's interesting provoking. How different is that kid's childhood

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 2>than mine? Who needs to carry a gun?

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no kidding, no kidding. I thought that was interesting.

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Chicago so troubled, so desperately in need of law enforcement,

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>better education. The teachers unions are standing in the way

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of that. By the way, the school.

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Stats out of Chicago or what are the most amazing

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to me, Even with all the shootings on, how many

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 2>of the schools you could shut down and there would

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>be no negligible it'd be negligible difference from the schools

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>being open other than it would save a lot of money.

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 2>So then at least maybe taxpayers would get back some

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 2>money to buy tutor for their kid because your kids

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 2>were learning literally nothing at school. That's amazing. Yeah, you

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 2>know what. Somebody remind me.

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring this up again tomorrow at some

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>point during the show of the soft bigotry of low expectations.

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:58.360
<v Speaker 1>And there are some statistics that have come out recently

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>from medical schools, and another place is the punchline of

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it is the response to black kids not achieving is

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to give them the fruits of achievement, whether they've earned

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>them or not, in my opinion, and I'm right, because

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>actually solving the problems would be uncomfortable and politically incorrect.

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You would have to say things and do things that

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>make people feel bad. And so instead of doing that,

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you have bunches of folks graduating medical school, for instance,

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>who got no business being doctors. It's horrible and it

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>dooms and here's the part that matters. It dooms more

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>generations of young kids, particularly of color in urban areas,

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.639
<v Speaker 1>to crappy educations.

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 2>And no chance to actually earn.

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>The good stuff in life.

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not kind. That's what hurts my heart is that

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 2>in parents who are either not I don't know what

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.199
<v Speaker 2>the right word would be with it enough or just

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 2>too busy working a couple of jobs or whatever. You're

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>assuming and you should be able to assume that your

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 2>kid going to school is learning to read and write

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and be able to go out in the world when

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>they graduate high school. Nothing wrong with you assuming that.

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>You should be able to assume that you said you're

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 2>kidding to grade school, junior high, and high school, and

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 2>they're going to graduate. You should be able to assume

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that they learned. But because you weren't paying attention, you

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 2>don't know that they didn't learn any of that stuff.

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.320
<v Speaker 2>There are schools in Chicago where they have zero percent

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 2>people that meet the proficiency in math and reading and writing. Again, nobody,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>nobody does. And those poor parents think they got they

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 2>made their kid go to school, they did the right things,

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and their kids are gonna be doomed. I mean, it's

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>just awful.

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And then when those parents say, hey, my kid has

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>learned nothing three years in a row. I want the

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>right to take him to a different school. Brandon Johnson

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and his teacher union buddies all across the country, Randy

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Weingarten will say, no, frickin way, no way you'd take

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that kid out of that miserable failure of a school.

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 2>We won't let you.

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:12.719
<v Speaker 1>And they're the progressives, They're the folks who are concerned

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>about young black kids.

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 2>What a crock of crap, right, it's just horrifying. I

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>wish you know that.

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>There are days I just I wish I could reach

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>more people with that knowledge. I mean, because once you're

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>aware of it, it's inescapable. I mean, what would be

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>better for the kids. It's just there's no argument there.

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 1>But people persist in thinking, yeah, public schools are such

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a gift to the poor kids and all.

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't know how you sleep at night running

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 2>schools where nobody is learning anything and is going to

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 2>graduate and then just be standing there looking at the world.

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 2>How am I supposed to make it? I don't know

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:55.240
<v Speaker 2>how you sleep at night. Being part of continuing that,

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I know they're evil. They are evil, They're absolutely evil.

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 2>We will an a strong next state. The FBI Newark office.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 7>Now, warning, don't try to shoot a drone out of

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 7>the sky. You may be hitting a helicopter, a plane,

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 7>a legitimate drone.

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a felony.

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 7>In addition, that debris could cause serious injury or kill

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 7>somebody on the.

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Ground or Santa. It's December. Hello, somebody's gonna shoot Santa.

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 2>This guy shh.

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So, Kirby, everybody knows that the bottom of Santa slays bulletproof.

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>John Kirby, probably the best spokesman the Biden administration has,

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 2>was out there yesterday and saying a lot of these

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>are commercial drones doing nothing illegal. And I know a

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of them are, but what about all of them?

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 2>What about the ones that aren't, that's the question. And

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 2>they say, we still don't exactly know what it is,

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 2>but there's nothing to worry about. Okay. That drives me

0:30:54.480 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 2>nuts because those two sentences don't fit together and still

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.680
<v Speaker 2>might be something illegal. He said. So here's a mayor

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 2>of a town in New Jersey responding to Kirby's press conference.

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 8>We had the briefing yesterday with the White House, FBI, DHS, FAA,

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 8>and they said the same thing. I don't want to speculate,

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 8>but someone is making a really bad, really bad decision

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 8>by not coming clean and say that these are our drones.

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 8>We're doing some sort of an operation. Nothing to see here.

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 8>They are safe, that they're saying they're safe, but we

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 8>see them on top of our reservoir, the schools, the grid.

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 8>And these are large drones. These are not small drones.

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 8>These are probate car size, a small dining room table size,

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 8>flying at night with lights on.

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's one of the best answers I've heard yet

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>from this mayor saying somebody's making a bad decision. I'm

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 2>not telling it. It's just kind of what Trump said yesterday.

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, the military knows what they are. We have

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the ability to know what they are. He said, I

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know why they're not saying anything.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Let me tweak the John Kirby exchange slightly. Nine one one.

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I just got home. There's a man in my house.

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Most of the people who come into your house are

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>friends and neighbors.

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Or okay, I won't worry about it.

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Then nine one one, Hey, I just got home and

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a man in my house. Well, we don't know

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 1>who he is, but we're sure you're not at risk.

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 2>What the hell.

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we just found out that there's going to

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 1>be a classified briefing, Yes, of the Intelligence Committee.

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, Uh, who is a briefing somebody? But there's

0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 2>so white to brief Obviously, the White House is briefing

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a House Intelligence Committee today a little late. Yeah. I

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>is it going to be innocuous? I don't think so.

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be significant, not not significant

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 2>like it was a thread or anything like that. I

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 2>think we're gonna find out about some significant military program

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 2>or technology or threat we're worried about or something. Yeah.

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Or test of our abilities, which I hope we're doing.

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, but well why wouldn't they tell us, No,

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 2>we have this drone capability. You know, you've seen what's

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 2>happening when you see what a ran did to Israel.

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 2>We just were testing our ability to intercept these sorts

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>of things. Well, there's Jack can there's joke man. It's

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of because the show, with the help of Katie

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Green and Michael Langelobe, there are friends. They're like fans

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 2>a dad, they're on our radio. So let's hear their

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 2>final thoughts before they have to go.

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh Jack, the creep freaky horror.

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Show villain's thing.

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>He's swaying back and forth with a weird hypnotized look

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>on his face.

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was too creep. I'll see that in my nightmares.

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Katie's not gonna be able to sleep tonight.

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 2>They see here. It's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's get a final thought from everyone on the crew

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and to wrap things up for the day, Michae Langelow,

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>what's your final thought?

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 7>I had my wife give me some Christmas parts, maybe

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 7>to pass out coworkers or something.

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>But I opened up and read it and said, and

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the best feelings are those of the heart.

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.919
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, no, this is just too sappy.

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Oh, Katie Green are esteemed to Newswoman. As a

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 1>final thought, Katie, I have decided to send out Christmas cards,

0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and I gave myself too big of a task and

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm now regretting it, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So oh yeah, yeah, guilt guilt feelings. I've been saying

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do it next year for like twenty five years.

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Jack final thought, that's funny you'd say that. I figured

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:35.799
<v Speaker 1>you did do it. I figured you were that sort

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>of person.

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I just I admire other people that do every year,

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 2>and they send one every single year. They not only

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>got their act together to get the family picture, but

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:46.359
<v Speaker 2>then they got it in the mail and got it

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to me. And I think, you know, I'd like to

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>be that kind of person. Apparently I know I wouldn't

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 2>like to be that kind of person enough to actually

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 2>do it, because I still have it.

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm going to do it next year. Anyway, came

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>across this, mentioned it earlier in the show. My final

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>thought is daily cal he's consumed by Americans. In nineteen

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.359
<v Speaker 1>sixty one, it was twenty nine hundred. Oh, by the way,

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the recommended daily calorie intake for women's two thousand, for

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>men twenty five hundred. But it was twenty nine hundred

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>back in the day. It's now thirty seven hundred.

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.720
<v Speaker 2>The average calorie intake is thirty seven hundred.

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Where is the obesity coming from? I don't get it.

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.359
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing Armstrong in Getty wrapping up another grueling four

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>hour workday.

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.920
<v Speaker 1>It may not be just that, that's part of it.

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So many people, thanks so a little time. Good Armstrong

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:31.439
<v Speaker 1>in getty dot com. Many pleasures await you there, see

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you tomorrow. God bless America.

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong and Getty. It has to stop like the

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 2>day before yesterday.

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Yep, absolutely, are you sure?

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Dead sure. I've been thinking that we really all

0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 2>need a tremendous hug. Good the hell out of here.

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think it's a little hot? It's one hundred

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 2>on the crazy meter. Sure, are you shut?

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Yep? So let's go with it.

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow, they need pageant. They killed their own pageant by

0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:57.879
<v Speaker 2>going woke. It takes a lot of balls to run

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.120
<v Speaker 2>for Miss Universe as a guy that I know. Bye

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Bye Armstrong and Getty.
