Speaker 1: In a month.

00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: I've made it through that, Doug Coffing, that's fantastic progress.

7
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: We're in a dimly lit room deep with from the

8
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. Hey, y'all

9
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: on little Wednesday. We're under the tutelage of our general manager, and.

10
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't decide to keep going back and Forest, do

11
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: you have a favorite funny?

12
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: You would say that I was just.

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Reading the morning newsletter I read every single day for

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: Mark Alburn, and he said this is the first time

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: in his career he can remember where when he got

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 3: up in the morning, he checked his top twenty five

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: news sources and No.

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Two had the same headline.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: Oh, and that was the lead story in that it's

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: so spread out over what people think is a big

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: story today, which obviously we get to decide what we

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: think is a big story.

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, and there are several. Honestly, if I was

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 4: gonna go with one, I.

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: Don't even know Biden's nodule, the backlash, the nodule.

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: On his prostate, among other things. Where are you on that?

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Do you what do you think happened? I was just

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: watching News Nation today is you're flipping around the channels

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: and everything like that. MSNBC has decided to not cover

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: the story anymore. I'll bet they got so much pushback yesterday,

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: I bet they got killed by a lot of their viewers.

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: Wow to if it even in a minor way towards

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: sanity in the center, they get.

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Murdered for it.

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: They even they kind of led the way on the whole.

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: Wait a second, this timing is beyond suspicious. They were

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: like the lead on that yesterday. So but they were

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: the first person to have a doctor on questioning that,

39
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: but didn't cover it all today News Nation though, they

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: just stated it flatly, like not like even analysis, just

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: like news analysis. The guy they talked to, there are

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: no coincidences in Washington. So the release of the medical

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 3: information about Joe Biden obviously timed to, you know, throw

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: clouds over the her tapes and the book coming out.

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they just stated it as fact. Do you

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: think that that's that clear?

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: I just happened to read an email from one of

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 4: our favorite correspondents who was rejecting that idea, saying that

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: the announcement of the cancer thing would draw more attention

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: to Biden's decline in age and that sort of thing.

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: And I'm not buying the argument. I think it is

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: injecting the cloud of sympathy, right and and and.

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, here's an old fellow with a dread disease.

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: He's near death.

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: We can't be talking about him critically. Yeah, that fits

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 4: beautifully does. And the other explanation is inexplicable. Yeah real,

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: they just never tested him and never had any symptoms.

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: No, come on, I.

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 3: Took in so much news coverag yesterday and I'd say

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: ninety nine out of one hundred doctors say it's impossible.

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: But they didn't know about this earlier. I mean, it's

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: just doesn't That's not the way it works. You don't

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: get to the level nine whatever reading on your prostate

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: cancer the first time you get checked, right as president

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: of the United States. But anyway, here's one aspect of

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: it that we should not put up with as a people.

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for years. I wish we could

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: demand as a as a self governing country to get

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: information back. We should have been.

70
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: Able to demand yes yesterday, the media should have demanded,

71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: and people should have fell in line, knowing that voters

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: will not put up with anything short of this.

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: The doctor that looked at Joe Biden should have been

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: on TV yesterday afternoon answering the question did you ever

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: check him for prostate cancer?

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: If not, why not? And if yes, what were the results?

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: That should have happened yesterday afternoon. There's no reason for

78
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: it to not. It's the president of the freaking United States, right,

79
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: What's what's the reason to compel that? Though I agree

80
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: with you, such a PARENTCYS as a governing body, everybody

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: should have to tell us everything, all the time, immediately.

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: About their personal medical reality. That's a stretch.

83
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I disagree exactly, but it's a stretch.

84
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: They do it physical every single year. They talk about it. Yeah,

85
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: I think it in a completely dishonest way. Yes, I

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: think it's perfectly reasonable to ask the question did you

87
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: check for prostate cancer? Okay, you want to politically say

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: it's none of your business, Okay, roll the dice on that.

89
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: Go ahead and say it's not the public's business, my

90
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 3: own personal health's.

91
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: I find this a really interesting conversation. Up where do

92
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: we draw the line? I mean, if if the president

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: has a rash on his ass, does he have.

94
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: To disclose that.

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: For instance, No, it's got a tendency toward acne, dandruff, And.

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: So where where do you draw the line? And I

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: don't way on the other side of you had a cancer,

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: that the treatment causes you to have mental difficulties and

99
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: trouble walking.

100
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: Yes, that is one of the leading theories at this point. Yes,

101
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: I would agree. I just again, it's the practicalities of

102
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: it that I'm getting hung up.

103
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: Think a different topic then if you're if you if

104
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: the medical one is too complicated for you, pick the

105
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: dog bite one, or you know, any of the any

106
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: of the many things that happened, somebody should have to

107
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: answer questions immediately.

108
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I absolutely agree with you in principle, the

109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: dog bite one.

110
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: That comes up because I was listening, I was watching

111
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: a I was watching a podcast last night with reporters

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: with with with one reporter making the point that early

113
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: on in the Biden White House there they would cover

114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: up everything. He said, they wouldn't be transparent about the

115
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: tiniest thing he said. At the very beginning, there was

116
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember, way back, there was

117
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: a wedding. Somebody in Joe Biden's family got married, and

118
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: they got married at the White House, which you're not

119
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: supposed to do because that's a you're just not supposed

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: to do that.

121
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: It's people's house, taxpayer thing. You can't do that clause

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And they light about that, and the

123
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: reporter's like, this is so, I mean, why are you

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: lying about this? I mean, you're not being honest about this.

125
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: The dog bites, they weren't. They weren't honest about that.

126
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: From the very beginning. There was a whole bunch of

127
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: different things that the guy saw. These are minor incidents,

128
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: and why are you covering these up?

129
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: And it's just the way they operated. They weren't honest

130
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: about anything ever.

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 5: Right.

132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: I just don't know how to deal with this other

133
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: than yelling about it on the radio. I mean, like

134
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: Trump's first medical disclosures were hilarious.

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't even trying.

136
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: He found a guy on the street who may or

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: may not have been a doctor, who declared him the

138
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: healthiest man to ever inhabit the planet Earth. And that

139
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: was it was there a political price to pay, no,

140
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: or at least not measurable.

141
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: So I got the Jake Tapper book last night and

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: I started into it, and I read quite a bit

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: to go, and I've got some highlights from Matt.

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: With the main takeaway being, first of all, it's hilarious.

145
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: It's unintentionally hilarious, really completely unintentionally hilarious.

146
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: They take themselves so seriously.

147
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: They're letting the world know, they're pulling back the curtain

148
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: and allowing you to get a glimpse.

149
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that it's hilarious. Are you kidding?

150
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: I mean they open with a Shakespeare quote on the

151
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: first page before they get into it. I thought, you've

152
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: got to be kidding. You're going now way too self

153
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: important here.

154
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: This really gets to are our core question about this?

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: Your core question about this? The answer appears to be yes,

156
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: Jake Tapper and the other fellow who did some good

157
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: reporting for Axios.

158
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: At the time or whatever it was. But Jake Tapper

159
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: is that bubbled in, that self delusional. He doesn't know

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: that we know.

161
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: New That's one hundred percent right, I'm not trying to

162
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: soften that at all, because you've got the evidence of

163
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: polls showing that majorities of Americans knew. So if majorities

164
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 3: of Americans new and with zero sources inside the White House,

165
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: why do you need any of those of you have sources.

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: But and it's not like we had a vague suspicion

167
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: it was denigible.

168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: But it is more than I had realized. The tightest

169
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: inner circle, we're lying to everybody like at the next level,

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Like I don't know how they're you know, Washington, d C.

171
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: Is famously if you want a friend, get a dog,

172
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: there are no you have no friends. I mean, everybody

173
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: just doesn't what's in their best self interest. But I

174
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: can't believe that there aren't more destroyed relationships. It'd be

175
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: like if you were lying to me about something important

176
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: to the show for years.

177
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: And because I would obviously I would believe you. I mean,

178
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: that's that's the way it was.

179
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: It was.

180
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: It was like senators who had worked with other people

181
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: who were now you know, chief of staff or whatever

182
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: in the inner circle for for decades.

183
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, who would say, damn, I'm a little worried about

184
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: the president.

185
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean he looked roughly, don't trust me behind closed doors,

186
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: He's fine, you know. And you take their word for

187
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 3: it because it's somebody you've known for years.

188
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: And you go out and repeat it yourself.

189
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: Yes, because they wouldn't hang out to dry. This is

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: somebody you've known forever, your close friends, and they did.

191
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: They lied to like the people that have known forever.

192
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: You know.

193
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 4: I think in DC, and Lord knows, I'm not a

194
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: student of that culture. I find it horrifying in every way.

195
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: But I have a feeling that the brighter the light

196
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: in front of you, meaning the greater the power in

197
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: front of you, the less the little lights behind.

198
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: You are even visible.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're next to the ultimate power, that

200
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: senator you worked with for twenty years, I don't even

201
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: see his light anymore.

202
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: Irony that Best Center, baby, because they're just crocodiles, those people.

203
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: I guess I got one more thing on the cancer

204
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: thing I want to say, But first we should start

205
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: the show officially.

206
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.

207
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 3: It is Tuesday, May the twentieth, the year twenty twenty

208
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: five or Armstrong and getting we approve of this program.

209
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, remind me, Michael's gotta give me my monthly prostate

210
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: exam during the commercial break.

211
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to forget.

212
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: And full disclosure, we put all the pictures up on

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: the website. Oh yeah, if you want to see them all, Right,

214
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: here we go. Here's the beginning of the show.

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: Officially now, according to the FCC rules regulations, here we

216
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: are Mark.

217
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 6: If they came out and said, yeah, Biden knew about

218
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 6: it five years ago, I wouldn't be shocked. If they

219
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 6: came out and said Biden found out on Friday, I

220
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 6: wouldn't be shocked. And I understand the excitement over an

221
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 6: insidious democratic cover up about Joe Biden's mental decline. The

222
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 6: thing is, though, it was a terrible cover up because

223
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: we all knew.

224
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: That new accept the big Foot media, and they would

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: just such a fascinating psychological study. Yes, not only were

226
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: they unaware, they were angry at the very suggestion that

227
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: it was true, including the guy who wrote the book

228
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: I was reading last night. Oh scream that Laura Trump

229
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: for claiming it wasn't the stutter. Yeah, I'll have to.

230
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: I got some excerpts from the book that are funny.

231
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: I'll do my screed about the playing on their emotions

232
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: from the Biden family, which I think they're doing, which

233
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: is just unconscionable. It is really unconscionable what they're doing.

234
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: They should be ashamed of themselves.

235
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: We'll get there.

236
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 3: They lack the capacity apparently. Yeah, we got Katie's headlines

237
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: on the way. We got lots today. I hope you

238
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: can figure out.

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: Man.

240
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: The NBA has got to be happy that the New

241
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: York Knicks have gotten on a roll because the final

242
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: four teams are Oklahoma City, Minnesota, Indiana.

243
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: And New York. That is not the star power they

244
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: want or the big markets that they want. Oh probably not.

245
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 4: I got lucky. New York made it in fantastic. I'm

246
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: happy for them, the good folks, and they try real hard.

247
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Man.

248
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: What a crazy show we have today. Just too much

249
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: to describe, So let's dive into it. Let's figure out

250
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green Katie.

251
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 7: Starting with NBC, Trump allies shift from well wishes to

252
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 7: suggesting Biden hid his cancer diagnosis because he obviously did.

253
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: The question is for how long? Yeah?

254
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: What was that?

255
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Trump allies did that? Yeah? Trump? This is from NYC.

256
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Trump like Joe Scarborough.

257
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I was listening to NPR on the drive

258
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: in and they said, while initially offering well wishes. Later

259
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: in the day, Trump turned to conspiracy theories about Biden's diagnosis.

260
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Is it a conspiracy theory? Really?

261
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: Every single doctor I heard yesterday, like one hundred doctors

262
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 3: said no way.

263
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: They just found out about.

264
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: This on Friday, every single one.

265
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,359
Speaker 1: I feel about.

266
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,359
Speaker 4: The phrase conspiracy theory very much like I feel about.

267
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: The phrase fact check.

268
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 4: It's an indication that the opposite is happening, but somebody

269
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: is just trying to, you know, deny without denying.

270
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: Please.

271
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 7: From the Hill, Natanya who says Israel will control all

272
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 7: of Gaza take over aid deliveries.

273
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: The old weight didn't work very well, did it.

274
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 7: From the La Times, Palm Spring's bombing investigation turns to

275
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 7: the explosives.

276
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: How are they sourced and built?

277
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I asked yesterday. Where does this guy

278
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: learn how to build a bomb and where to get

279
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: this stuff? So, yeah, I'm gonna have to read that

280
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: La Times.

281
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Article the internet and around I'm guessing and what a lunatic?

282
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: Oh anti human activist Shiemani from the Washington.

283
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Post Supreme court allows Trump.

284
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 7: To cancel protected status for Venezuelans for now.

285
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's quite the story.

286
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: I'd hate to be a Venezuelan who has given the

287
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: gift of temporary protected status by Biden and then have

288
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: it disappear.

289
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do?

290
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: So if the President can, with the stroke of a pen,

291
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: declares something, the next guy can undeclare.

292
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: It From ABC.

293
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: Russia attacks Ukraine with drones after the Trump putin phone call.

294
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, biggest drone attack over the weekend. They tried to

295
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: fire an intercontinental ballistic missile but it either didn't fire,

296
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: or they changed their mind or something.

297
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Nobody's sure, but.

298
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: They almost fired off one of those over the weekend,

299
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: of course, which would have gotten a lot of.

300
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 7: Attention USA Today, six inmates still on the run after

301
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 7: escape from New Orleans jail.

Speaker 1: Search enters day five. There are parts of.

303
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: The South, including Louisiana, that have a reputation for being

304
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: a little fast and loose and sloppy and corrupt and

305
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 4: old boyish, and a number of different descriptors. This would

306
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: not discourage me from thinking some of those cliches are true.

307
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: These guys just broke out with ease, were gone for

308
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: eight hours before anybody had any idea.

309
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: My favorite part is they left the message we One

310
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: of them left the message behind It said too easy

311
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: spelled too easy y lol.

312
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 7: From the New York Post, French pizza chef confesses to

Speaker 7: a pot of vegetables.

315
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 4: Oh delicious, a French pizza chef. That's the horn part

316
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: to me, does that even mean? French pizza chef?

317
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: And finally, from the.

318
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 7: Babylon b experts say AI unlikely to replace government bureaucrats

319
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 7: because it's not soulless enough.

320
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: And speaking of AI, so, there was a Shakespeare quote

321
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the new Jake Tapper book that

322
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: I didn't understand and I was going to Google it,

323
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: and I thought, no, I'm going to do chat GPT.

324
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I put it in chet GPT. What does this mean?

325
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: Explained it at length with examples in a way that Google.

326
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: Could have never done.

327
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, sell your stock, yes, man, if you're

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: not using chat GPT to answer simple questions, it's so

329
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: much better than going.

330
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Or one of the other ones are terrific as well.

331
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: You know the way I have stock in Oh sorry,

332
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: I'll get out of the way.

333
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 3: Some of the revelations from the book, among other things

334
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: on the way.

335
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: So they done, Armstrong and Getty.

336
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 5: President now claiming quote some progress in the effort to

337
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 5: end the war in Ukraine, saying he thinks Putin quote

338
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 5: has had enough, but Putin giving no indications Russia is

339
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 5: any closer to a ceasefire. President Trump now saying he

340
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: will leave it up to Ukraine and Russia to negotiate

341
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 5: for now.

342
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: What about the Putin call? Remember we had a clip

343
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: of that. What was that about? Show years ago? The

344
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Putin call?

345
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: That's from like eight years ago, so I don't remember

346
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: it at the very beginning of Trump one. Yeah, any who,

347
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: Trump was on the phone with Vladimir Putin for about

348
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 3: two hours yesterday and takeaway seems to be I'm gonna

349
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: let them work it out. Which where does that leave things?

350
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: It leaves it as a win for Putin? I think yes,

351
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: although the ball is in Trump's court because he has

352
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 3: not said, at least as of yet, Okay, if you're

353
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: going to let them work that out, does that mean

354
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: them working it out while we continue to give a

355
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: tremendous amount of aid intelligence aid? Maybe being the most

356
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: important to Ukraine or not, because if it's or not,

357
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: it's a big deal.

358
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

359
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 4: I feel like those of us who would like to

360
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: see the US backing Ukraine are digging through about our

361
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: fifteenth pile of manure looking for the pony in Trump's negotiations.

362
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 4: Just this, maybe he's got this up his sleeve, you know,

363
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: feeling or hope. It's just it's been dashed over and

364
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 4: over again.

365
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Well, he does have to go one way or the other.

366
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: We are either going to continue to back Ukraine the

367
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: way we have for three years or not. And if

368
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: we're not, that's a major change.

369
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely that one happens.

370
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: Will he announce it or will it will it just

371
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: become evident at some point, I don't know, after this

372
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 3: period of Zelensky in Ukraine and Europe doing everything conceivable conceivable.

373
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 4: To make it clear we want peace too, We're with

374
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 4: you on this and putin never giving a single sign

375
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: that he has any interest in Trump's piece too. No,

376
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: if the US policy becomes well then you all are

377
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: on your own. We're not going to support a Ukraine.

378
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: Well then we've but it's not a nothing. We've cided

379
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 3: with right now. In my opinion, I know one hundred

380
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: that's exactly my point.

381
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And what seemed to be the lean is indeed

382
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: coming true. It was it was less than Putin showing

383
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 4: you wasn't interested in peace right now. He gave Trump

384
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: a long lecture of about why Ukraine belongs to Russia,

385
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: and he said this will not end until the underlying

386
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 4: problems are solved. Well, the underlying problems will not be

387
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: solved until he has Ukraine correct.

388
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

389
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: As Rich Lowry writes in The National Review, the play

390
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: for the Kremlin is obvious here. It wants to keep

391
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 4: pinching ahead with territorial gains, and if it continues to

392
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 4: string along the negotiations, has to hope that Trump tires

393
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 4: of the whole thing and cuts off USA to Ukraine.

394
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: That would reward Putin's intransigent with an important diplomatic victory

395
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: is split between the US and Europe, and a chance

396
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 4: to make major advances against an increasingly hard pressed Ukraine.

397
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 4: And the only reference really to Trump being tired of

398
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 4: Putin and understanding that he's being played was that reference

399
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 4: to Putin's tapping me along, But I mean to come

400
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 4: out of the call yesterday and say, yeah, I think

401
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: we made progress. I don't know where that is.

402
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Well.

403
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: Jd Vance presented it as as well, if you guys

404
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 3: aren't interested, then hey, we're out. As if that is

405
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: actually a neutral position, that is not a neutral position,

406
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: that's a taking the side of Russian position. So I

407
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: don't know if they're just trying, if they're trying to

408
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: fool people by presenting it is like we're staying.

409
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Neutral on this or what. So the ball is.

410
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: First off, I think in Trump's court, but then absolutely

411
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: in Europe's court as they got to figure out what

412
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: to do. So they had a big meeting over the

413
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: weekend of European leaders with a couple of interesting things

414
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 3: that came out of it. A big defense meeting of

415
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: the Germany, the big people Germany, Britain, France, poland a

416
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: couple of things. They announced. Germany is going to lift

417
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: their prohibition on nuclear energy that they've had since World

418
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: War Two, so they are going to, like France, start

419
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 3: using nuclear energy so that they don't have to buy

420
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: energy from Russia.

421
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: So that's a pretty big deal economically for Russia.

422
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they also announced in that meeting that Russia will

423
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: does not present NATO a dilemma in five like had

424
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: previously been thought if the war were to end soon,

425
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: but could within a year, like they could be back

426
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: up to speed enough within a year to present NATO

427
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: a real bulemma of what do we do now? If

428
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: they move on Estonia, they would be strong enough. That's

429
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: what the European countries announced over the weekend. And then

430
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: I really liked this quote that came out of it.

431
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: I think from the leader of Poland. Russia has been

432
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: playing hockey for years. We are not going to figure

433
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: skate our way out of this.

434
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 4: Oh that's some good ice sport metaphor slinging there, sir, Yeah, Adam,

435
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: well done.

436
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: That went with also one of the leaders saying the

437
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: years of two percent funding of our military are over.

438
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: It's going to have to be more like five percent. Yeah,

439
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: if there were days.

440
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: I wish we had unlimited time for this sort of

441
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 4: thing because it's so interesting.

442
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: I have all sorts of interesting.

443
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: Well I suppose you all will be the judge of

444
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 4: that when I delivered it, but I found it really

445
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 4: really intriguing analysis of Europe and everything that's wrong with it.

446
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: I think the Russia attack on Ukraine following the annexation

447
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 4: of Crimea and the attack on Georgia and everything else

448
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 4: has has and Germany continuing to buy oil from Russia

449
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 4: after that happened, and all those kinds of things.

450
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Well, right, I think.

451
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: It's finally gotten to the point that it's shaken the dopey,

452
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: dopey Euros out of their torpor, their their their sleepiness,

453
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: their fantasy land that they've been living in for the

454
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: past a bunch of years. After you know, the US

455
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: security umbrella enabled them to invest vast sums of money

456
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 4: into welfare states and socialism and the rest of it.

457
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 4: And and I would I would like to issue a

458
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 4: hammering indictment against them for all of that crap. But

459
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: I think they're right about Russia and Ukraine. We're not

460
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: going to figure skate our way out of this.

461
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. Here here's the takeaway.

462
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: And this was going to be the takeaway after I

463
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 4: built a case over many, many minutes.

464
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: But I'll give you the takeaway.

465
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 4: We need to work every day as a country to

466
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: not become Europe. And there are a couple of examples

467
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 4: of a great piece by Walter Russell Mead about why

468
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 4: democracy is in retreat, and he cites several cases in

469
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: Europe about anybody who does not go along with the

470
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: very very mainstream view of who ought to get elected

471
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 4: and what policies ought to be passed is decried as

472
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: undemocratic and dangerous, like the AfD party in Germany. And

473
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 4: I could go into detail on that. The more I learned,

474
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 4: the more interested I get. But their definition of democracy

475
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 4: is the results I want, and anything that challenges that

476
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 4: is swept aside. Like the AfD ought to be in

477
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: an alliance with the party that won.

478
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: The most seats.

479
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: It's obvious the effort to keep them out because of

480
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: a few crack pots and being a little soft down

481
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: Russia or whatever is just it's twisting the German political

482
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 4: system into knots.

483
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: They're subsessed with it.

484
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: The men declared a terrorist organization or whatever so people

485
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: can listen to their phone calls and read their emails.

486
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: Well, yes, but actually, as long as we're talking about

487
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 4: this is let me click over.

488
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: I think it's right there.

489
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, So last week the German government officially designated the

490
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 4: opposition party AfD as a confirmed extremist organization. The announcement

491
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: came from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution,

492
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: their domestic intelligence agency, blah blah blah. Then on Wednesday

493
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: they abruptly withdrew the extremist label. They will now monitor

494
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: the party only as a suspected case, which still allows

495
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 4: some surveillance in a way Americans would find repugnant, but

496
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 4: under much stricter judicial oversight. And somebody leaked the report

497
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: and it reveals that the evident against the AfD consisted

498
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: not of plans for violence or insurrection, but just controversial

499
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: rhetoric and deeply nationalist views, none of which should have

500
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 4: triggered that designation. So it was the quote unquote mainstream

501
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: powers that be trying to label as extremist anybody who

502
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: dared shake their hold on power, which is exactly what

503
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 4: I was driving at. Their definition of democracy is democracy

504
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: with the right results, and that's terrible. The other thing

505
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 4: I really wanted to talk about is the Wall Street

506
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: Journal had a great piece about how huge tech is

507
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: in the world economy right now, technology in general, and

508
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: how tiny Europe's share of it is. The EU rivals

509
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: I mean, it's in the same weight class more or

510
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 4: less if you take it as a whole, the US

511
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 4: economy and the Chinese economy.

512
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: It's a juggernaut.

513
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: But you want to talk tech, Oh, it's sad, it's pathetic.

514
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 4: Apple's market value is bigger than the entire German stock market,

515
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 4: for instance. There's no Google, there's no Amazon, there's no Meta.

516
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 4: In Europe, there's nothing even slightly close. And this Journal

517
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 4: article goes into depth and has a bunch of different

518
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 4: examples of native born tech people, German tech people who

519
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: brought what they learned back from Silicon Valley to Europe

520
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: and were immediately crushed by strict labor laws, a risk

521
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: averse business culture, suffocating regulations, smaller pool of venture capital,

522
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 4: lackluster economic growth, no demographic growth, and said no, and

523
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: back to California they went, or other places. Yeah and so,

524
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 4: and you know that list. I'm gonna hit it one

525
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: more time and we free marketers. So hold all dragon fans.

526
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: I know we're sad. And then we ought to have

527
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: industry planning in tariffs and the rest of it. But

528
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 4: Europe is crushed by a timid and risk averse business culture,

529
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: strict labor laws, suffocating regulations, smaller pool of venture capital,

530
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: and lackluster economic growth.

531
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: Don't become Europe.

532
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 4: That's what we as a country need to repeat to

533
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 4: ourselves every morning. You gotta make your bed. It's a

534
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: small act of discipline and positive something or other. I

535
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: believe in it very much, and say, let's not become

536
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: Europe today.

537
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: Like when you get up in the morning, use I'm

538
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: going to be a good person today or or whatever

539
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: your mantra is, right, I'm going to do kindness whatever,

540
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: do God's will today and stay positive. Let's not become

541
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: Europe today.

542
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: Yes, we're going to build a utopia through a million regulations.

543
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: Yes, our two.

544
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: I'll get into a little of what I pulled out

545
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: of the first part of Jake Tapper's book that I

546
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: started reading last night when I was in bed again

547
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: unintentionally hilarious, along with some.

548
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: Interesting nuggets about what was going on there.

549
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: It's the biggest failure of media in our nation's history,

550
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: and it should not just disappear as a minor thing.

551
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: Luckily it has not been for at least the last

552
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Now I need to promote a mail bag.

553
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: It's going to go heavily into the two big topics

554
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: of yesterday's show, especially Ai and Jack Black's grooming so

555
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: fat so greasy is my headline. If I'm reviewing the

556
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Minecraft movie. You're not wrong. You can't wash your face

557
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: before you walk out there. I mean, it's not asking

558
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: a lot. Okay, all about on the way stay here.

559
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: So the big beautiful, complicated bill, they had a vote

560
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night at ten That's the one we were talking

561
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: about yesterday that it got out of committee. They voted

562
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: at ten pm on Sunday night. I haven't heard a

563
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: good explanation as for why the next vote is one

564
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: am tonight tomorrow one am. Why are they doing that?

565
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: Do you know? Are they voting after raves on Capitol Hill? Now? Oh,

566
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. Wake me up when it's time to vote.

567
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 3: I want there's got to be a reason though, if

568
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: you know text four one two nine five KFDC. I

569
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: know what the Democrats are claiming, but I don't think

570
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: that's it.

571
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 4: They're trying to steal it away in the dark of night, right, yeah, okay,

572
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 4: all right, Like it's not going to come out in

573
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: the papers the next day because normally the American people,

574
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: because it's at noon, can storm in there and demand

575
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: that they do something different.

576
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: No, that's not the way it works ridiculous. Here's your

577
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: freedom loving quote of the day. Love this one, Thomas Sowell.

578
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Keep it in mind. What's ominous is the ease with

579
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: which some people go from saying that they don't like

580
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: something saying that the government should forbid it. When you

581
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long. Ah.

582
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: That's a good one, mail Bag. Although we all have

583
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: our things like I'm that way with leaf moors.

584
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: I would like that to be banned by the government everyone,

585
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: But just that that's reasonable. So speaking of quotes, oh,

586
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: drop us a note mailbag and armstrung and giddy dot comes.

587
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: Speaking of quote, we were talking about graduation quotes and

588
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: what you might have on.

589
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Your mortar board and that sort of thing.

590
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 4: And let's see this is rich Salt Lake City wrote

591
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: my daughters graduating from high school.

592
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Here's a photo of the quote she put in the yearbook.

593
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 4: I feel like I have somehow succeeding in raising her

594
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 4: properly because of your homespun wisdom. Her graduation quote was

595
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: stupid should hurt.

596
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: That's a good one. She credited her dad with that quote.

597
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 4: Cool, even though that's been our slogan for many, many years.

598
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: But that's fine. We will lend it to you rich

599
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: if that increases the bond with your beautiful daughter. Happy

600
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: to lend that. I liked another gal who's listed on

601
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: this sheet. Her quote is long story short, I survived.

602
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: That's good.

603
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 4: Well, let's see how about this JT and libermore rights

604
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: to claim that there aren't two parties any longer. This

605
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: is the point we were talking about this. There's not

606
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: really time to reset the discussion. But the parties don't

607
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: stand for anything fixed or even semi fixed.

608
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: They just change with the wind.

609
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 4: The two parties we have today are stronger and more

610
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 4: unified than ever before in American history. How else to

611
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: explain how party members will no longer date across political lines.

612
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: How else to explain the left's use of basketed deplorables.

613
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 4: Bitter clingers are Biden's short but awful garbage, and they're

614
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: not too distant past. There were fiscally conservative Democrats, there

615
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 4: are socially liberal Republicans. You're free to cross party lines

616
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: for the things you believed in. That's gone by the wayside.

617
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: Saber metrics has taken over politics, and both sides now

618
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 4: demand near complete loyalty in voting.

619
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: A lot of it has to do with Citizens United,

620
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: which is correctly decided, but that doesn't mean it was

621
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: good for the country. The fact that you can raise

622
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 3: you all these small amounts or attack somebody, a pro

623
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: life Democrat or a pro choice Republican for instance, would

624
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: get killed in the modern era. Well, Citizens United was

625
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: about corporations making political contributions, and the left thought that's

626
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: going to ruin everything, But no, it is the Internet.

627
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: The Internet. Citizens United was completely insignificant compared to the Internet,

628
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: which now moves mountains. Anyway, to finish up JT's point.

629
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: To put in another way, we now have two parties

630
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: defined by not being the other party called negative what

631
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: is it called negative polarization? Yeah, anyway, Yeah, some good

632
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: points there. Let's see, and he points out that.

633
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: We're worse than a credit card holder making the minimum

634
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 4: payment because we're borrowing the money to pay the interest

635
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 4: on our debt.

636
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: Good point.

637
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: You're borrowing from your parents to make the minimum payment

638
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: on your credit card. That's you're in bad shape.

639
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

640
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 4: Twenty fourteen, Hunter Biden thinks for behaving irresponsibly as a

641
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: country on the topic of artificial general intelligence, powow quotes

642
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 4: several people as saying, we're not nearly as far down

643
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 4: the road. The technology we have today is not sufficient

644
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 4: to get there, says one super giant AI startup guy.

645
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 4: Then he describes how it's just a predictive thing. It's

646
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: not thinking. Consider something as mundane as customer service. Chat

647
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 4: pots are terrible, even though they deal with fairly restricted

648
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: subject areas I'm summarizing here. Then he quotes one of

649
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 4: the great AI guys of the early days who said,

650
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy or three to eight years from serious general

651
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: artificial intelligence.

652
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: I want that to be true.

653
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 3: I also know that's a minority opinion, and it's always

654
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 3: farther off than they say. On the other hand, you know,

655
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: we've got a couple of examples, including yesterday when I

656
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: came up with an edgy name for a political party

657
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: and was designing a logo, and chat GPT said, now,

658
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: do you want to steer into the edginess of the name.

659
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: With the illustration with the logo?

660
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: You want to make it more stock like a political party. Okay,

661
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: maybe that's not the artificial general intelligence, but it's pretty impressive.

662
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: Another example of AI amazing this here. But we're out

663
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: of time.

664
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk about that later. We'll talk about that

665
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 3: for the rest of our lives, probably as it takes

666
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: over the world. The robot good point, and the robots

667
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: start to swing their arms and knock our heads off.

668
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: Boy, that video really made an impression on you, didn't it.

669
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 3: Oh The Jake Tapper book unintentionally hilarious. I got some

670
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: highlights from that. I was reading it last night in bed.

671
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: How fun is that?

672
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: An hour two Armstrong and Getty
