WEBVTT - Time to Close Congress!

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty.

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong, and Jettie and he arms Raw live from Studio C.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>See signor my shirt's wrinkled and I feel like a hobo.

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I hate when it happened somehow, and if you didn't

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>know when I put it in the closet, you got

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>banned and it was pressed it between shirts and then

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>it looked like a hobo. Hate to start the day

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>filling like a home you know you do. It's a

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>dimly lit room deep with from the bowels of the

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty communications compounded. Today we're toiling under the

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 2>title of the show. Only one title today. This is

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 2>a dictatorship. This is a one party state. Your title

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is time to close Congress a rebooted or shut it down,

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>or just to just you know, take a big sharpie

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and cross out Article one in the Constitution. It's completely useless.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a clown show. It's a joke, it's ineffective, it

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do its job. I'm sure you're going to back

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>up that title later in the program. It's like a

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>wrinkled hobo shirt. Of an institution congress. Terrible. She hadn't

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that. How bad is it's? It's pretty bad. You

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>can't see where you're standing below the desk, but the

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>bottom part of my shirt is a Yeah, you'd have

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 2>to stare at my carch, but the bottom part of

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>my shirt is very wrinkled. It is off amazing though,

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>how Like I noticed, sometimes I can put on certain

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say the word outfit, but certain

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 2>group of clothes. But why didn't you want to say

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>outfit because of the Jason Isbell song, because of the

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>drive by Truckers song. Yes, oh yeah, I guess it

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>was a dry by trucker. Yeah, don't call what you're

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>wearing an outfit. It's not manly. You're fit, as my

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>son says, like your fit. Uh. Sometimes you can have

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>a fit on and you're like, man, I really look

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>good today, which at least for me, helps my entire mood.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>But then put exact same thing on two weeks later

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and like lost its zip somehow. I don't know what's

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>going on. That's so just pointing out it's all in

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>your mind. Really, a lot of it, not all of it,

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>but some of it is just in your mind, certainly,

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>how you're looking, how you're feeling. You know, you got

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>your swagger or not well, and we all spend way

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>too much energy of praising ourselves when the rest of

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the world isn't really paying that much attention. Having your swagger, though,

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>helps with the day. Having your I don't know what's

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the French term you you like throw on French or

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a Latin. Yeah, I got zero de plume, I got

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I got zero nom de plume today. Yeah, that's too bad.

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I tell you you had their swagger was the Knickerbockers. Yeah,

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Game one of the NBA Finals. Man, I'd say not

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>that I but it sounded exciting that Jalen Brunson. Dude,

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>is he is something. He's he's he performs better in playoffs,

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and he does regular season more than any other player

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>than NBA histories statistically, Like he's bored during the regular

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>season and then he gets into the games that matter

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and he's a different guy more than anybody ever ever

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>has been. It's something you see sometimes in sports speaking

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>icewagger got to have a lot at stake to focus

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 2>or he properly motivated. One more sports note, which I

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 2>know is annoying to people who don't like sports show. Hey,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>o Tani, the greatest baseball player in the world maybe

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>of all time, has the lowest ER at this point

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>in the season, pretty early in the season. But he's

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>however many innings in uh has the lowest ERA since

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>nineteen thirteen. Lore I know it as a pitcher, and

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>he's hitting over three hundred, which will put you in

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame on its own. He's the great.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>That is ridiculous. That is absolutely ridiculous. It's kind of

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>funny though, when you get into sports status, when you

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>go way way way back, because the sport is so

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>different you barely can call it the same thing. I mean,

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, the equipment and just all kinds of different things.

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>But this is of no significance to anyone or anything.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>But how much of an outlier is he physically in

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Japan because Japanese men are famously smaller to be generally speaking,

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>say Americans. But he's got to be like the equivalent

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>of as eight foot tall, doesn't he. Yeah, he's an

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 2>enormous man, so yeah, he's got to They got to

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>fear him like Godzilla. I mean, please, adversity on the

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>subway trains show. Hey, oh great show. Hey right, it's

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>traffic in the worstly shades Japanese stereotypes. Yeah, exactly. Man,

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>when he comes back to Tokyo, he's probably walking through

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>the streets and they got airplanes flying around and try

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to stop him. Makes those noises. I've never heard it

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>make that noise, but he might in his private time

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>with his bookie translator Dye. They've severed ties. Yes, exactly,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>so this is interesting. I got a question speaking of

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the playoff clutch thing. I've either died emotionally or I've

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>reached a new plateau of zen. I used two computers

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 2>and an iPad for the show. I've got tabs, I

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>got screens, i got sheets, I got updates. Both of

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>my computers crashed today, I mean like crashed. I lost

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>dozens of carefully arranged tabs of articles I wanted to

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about, arranged by subject and like in order of

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>most like newsworthy to most evergreen, and everything a genius system.

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 2>If I just crashed, lost it all, and yes, I

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>know how to get it back, but it keeps coming

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.559
<v Speaker 2>back in the wrong way, and I don't care. It's fine.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought, now we'll work our way around it. In

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the past, I would have been panicked. Second, do you

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>have any idea why I have died emotionally? I have

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a friend, I guess. I have a friend who used

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know how I handle it? I'm dead inside.

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I wonder. I wonder, but we will forge you ahead. Nonetheless,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 2>if you don't care anymore? Is that it I happen

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to be talking about wife? I said, It's not like

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>it was a patient on the table. It's okay, low

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 2>te well that no, no tea. I have no measurable

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>t I'm like a female feel calf as a man.

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It's terrible. I got to comment on an NPR story

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that I heard on the way to work today that

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 2>it's going the right direction. Their their coverage of it,

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>their version of it, the lefty version of it, really

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>bothers me. It's all around. Uh, there are quite a

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.239
<v Speaker 2>few states in the country, they said, most mostly red states.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's interesting that it's not all red states.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>But I'll have to look into it before we discuss it.

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>All around the topic of states that have decided Yeah,

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>we didn't really know the county or city health commissioner

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>had the power to do all these things in a pandemic.

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>So what change in the rules here so that the

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>legislature or some bigger body can decide whether or not

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>schools are going to be closed for two years, or

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the parks are closed down, or you can no longer

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>go to the beach or whatever. As opposed to one

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>person that somehow got elected health commissioner, well, you don't

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>have any idea who it is or what their deal is, right,

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>their qualifications are practically nil for the county. Yeah, health

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>commissioner and pr presented that as a horror with a

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 2>bunch of quotes from doctor Fauci. I guess is part

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 2>of the pushback on this across the country. Oh my god,

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about that more later. Just oh

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't it brought back all the horrors of the

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>whole thing and the idea that some people, like one

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>individual who the hell no is what their qualifications are

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in your county, that can say you're right, parks are

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>closed down, put yellow taper on the playground equipment so

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the kids can't play. Well, why doesn't matter I make

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>those decisions. As opposed to the legislature, who would be

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>responsible to the people making that decision. Right. For all

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>of their constant howling about democracy, the left is extremely

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable with democracy. They really want dictatorship, god Fauci saying

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>something like, we want to strip the power of someone

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>who's sworn duty is to protect your health and put

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>it in the hands of a committee. That's outrageous. Yeah,

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to revoke our rights, hundred percent. Yeah,

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>doctor gain of function. I want the doctor wuhan. I

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>want the legislature who legislates, in other words, makes laws

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>to decide the rules, as opposed to some person on

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 2>a whim, one person. Right, it'll never happen in Corruptifornia.

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>But I'd also like to see every state house around

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the nation rule firmly on what constitutes an emergence, how

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>one is declared, and when one ends, quite specifically to

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>rain in the future lunatics like Gavin Newsom. And then

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>they ended the story. It's just so funny because NPR

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>constantly runs promos about how you said, the place you

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>go to get the real story with no spin and

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>all facts, and it's just so hilarious. Anyway, they ended

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the story with hantavirus' cases continuing to show up and

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the Ebola virus not under control. This could become an

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.680
<v Speaker 2>issue sooner than many of us realize. Back to you,

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Jim Oh, I pray it does, and I pray all

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 2>those red states and their legislatures take a careful look

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>at the policy and science, actual scientific fact, not the

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 2>craze that took place during COVID, but what all of

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the responsible health organizations had declared years before would be

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the response to pandemics. And follow those carefully, and then

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>let's draw a contrast. If it happens again, God for

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a bid between your economy, our economy, our schools, your schools,

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>our health outcomes, your health outcomes. That seems to be

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the only way to do it. The time is to

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>strike is now, though, before people forget about it. Yeah,

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>because the next pandemic could be in, you know, another

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>century away. But let's say I just apparently, and this

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>is good news. I am not emotionally dead because I

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>hear the name Anthony Wuhan Fauci, and I get my

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 2>blood starts to boil. Joe's I represent science. Here's our

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 2>headline for the day, Joe's not dead. Inside, that's that's

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 2>our breaking news. I'm not doing well. But not dead yet.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 2>June the fourth of the year twenty twenty six, where

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong. You getting we approve of this program. Okay,

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>let's beget officially then according to f CC rules or eggs.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Here we go at Mark, I'm a drive.

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Spence underneath, puts it up, puts it in, chialen, prods it,

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>does it again. It's a six point lead, but forty

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 3>seven seconds left, we.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Were down by fourteen late in the third quarter. Never

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 2>say die, That's what I say. Timothy Chalomey was digging it.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 2>He was in the second row. He was in the

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.679
<v Speaker 2>second row behind what's his name, the comedian that got

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 2>all the money from the car, right, Tracy Morgan. Tracy

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Morgan was in the front row. Chalomey was in the

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 2>second room. So hey, shallow Wi, you need a little

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 2>more money or something. Oh, it's twice as many rows

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>as the first row. Heather Myers has our headlines for

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.959
<v Speaker 2>us and a bunch of stuff we can get into today.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>California is not even close to finishing counting their bouts,

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>not even close, which is pretty crazy. Among other things,

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 2>on the way, stay here. Sam Altman, one of the

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>biggest AI guys in the world, says, Ah, this whole

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 2>thing about people losing their jobs is overblown. I think

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be just fine, And I would trust

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 2>his honesty on this topic about as little as as

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 2>anybody it possibly imagine. But more on that later. Yeah, no, kidd,

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>who asked you? I just came across a fascinating bit

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>of American history, the farm boy, the Vermont farmboy who

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>in the early eighteen hundreds invented something that made skyscrapers possible.

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>What the plucky young American. Great story. We'll share that

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>with you coming up, But first let's figure out who's

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Meyer's Heather Joe.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Jack, Good morning. Let's find out how the networks are

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>covering the news this morning. From NBC News, House votes

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to rebuke Trump over war with Iran.

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Nobody I have to jump in just because nobody is

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>pointing out because they want the excitement that goes with it.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a symbolic vote. It holds no weight, it has

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.719
<v Speaker 2>no power. It doesn't help politically, but no, it does

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 2>not signal the end of anything.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, Foxter's covered it this way. Trump suffers rare House

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>defeat as bipart artists and moves to withdraw troops from

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Iran conflict. And then the Washington Post said it like this,

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the four Republicans who broke with Trump on Iran and

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>now face his wrath.

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>No, it's interesting that in a Republican controlled House you

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 2>know that it passed, But to leave out the fact

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that it's symbolic and does not have the ability to

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>end the war is beyond disingenuous. I mean, you're misleading

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 2>on purpose. That's a tough story.

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Recovering out of northern California this morning, Caseyra reporting one

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>dead and three injured in shooting after graduation ceremony at

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Fairfield High.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>School as getting national attention. It's just down the road

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>from us.

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>From Forbes, Trump baselessly accuses Democrats of stealing California primaries.

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you allow counting to go on for days

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and weeks, it certainly helps the argument from people four

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 2>people who want to claim theirre Shenanigan's going on. Yeah,

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 2>California is vote counting system essentially puts lipstick on collar,

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>blonde hair across shoulder of shirt and weird hotel stays

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that can't be explained, but then denies there's an affair

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 2>going on. It sets it all up to look like

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 2>electoral fraud. So if people say, wow, that looks kind

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 2>of fraudulent, you can't act like that's unreasonable.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, this headline from the La Times will backs that up.

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Does Nitthia Rahmans still have a chance California's uncounted votes

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>could help Democrats?

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, speaking of disingenuous, A lot of the coverage around

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>this given people totals who's ahead and whatever. With fifty

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>some percent of the vote counted, there's no point so

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 2>wait until they're got ya. Every number you hear about

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>results in California could be flipped completely upside down by

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the time they're done counting.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>From the Sacramento Bee, Katie Porter's failed bid for governor

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is a loss for all Californians.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>What who said that?

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Stucker going to be their opinion page this morning?

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it used to be a newspaper. That's hilarious.

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>From ABC seven, Newport Beach ceo accused of illegally selling

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>US tech to Iranian government.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a big story we got into later. Why

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>was this person so rich, hanging out in California for

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>so long and selling secrets to the Iranians. What's going

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 2>on there?

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they nabbed him at his thirty five million dollar mansion.

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah woo.

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>From CNN. SpaceX sets the stage for a record seventy

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 1>five billion dollar ipo.

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 2>We got to talk to many somebody smart about all

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>these IPOs that are coming out, the big tech things.

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>What it means should you be trying to get involved?

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah from People dot Com. Service dog's extreme

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>in flight accident sickens passengers.

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>What happened? Oh?

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh the dog got the squirts?

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh swells that swell. Okay, that's age. But at least

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 2>nobody's left wondering, Yes, what happened? So clarity points for clarity.

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just wanted to sum it up so there

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was no guessing.

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, That settled the issue.

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>From the Associated Press this morning, woman sues Outback Steakhouse

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>for one and a half million after allegedly slipping on

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>mashed potatoes.

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, all right.

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>From the AP again, The winner pays nine million in

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>cherry auction for a private lunch with Warren Buffett and

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Curry.

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I would like to lunch with the greatest investor

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of all time and the greatest jumpshooter over time. Yes,

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>together the same table, exactly, they must be together. And finally,

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>why so many three pointers in the NBA Stefan is

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 2>their growth in the housing industry? Sorry? Fifteen six.

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.400
<v Speaker 1>From the Babylon Bee, California announces they have finished counting

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the votes. Ronald Reagan has won the nineteen sixty six

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>governors race.

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's an embarrassment. I got a scenario around that

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 2>to present. Oh and have you heard the Steph Curry

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.719
<v Speaker 2>business story Armstrong and Geddy?

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 4>Sixty percent of the vote has been counted. If that holds,

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 4>it means that in November, Los Angelinos are going to

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 4>have to choose between a woman named Karen and a

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 4>man who is one.

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is insane. Oh wow, we should be very embarrassed.

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Rocher not be a top two finalist for mayor. He

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 4>should be DJing the worst New Year's Eve party in

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Reno right now. He's unlikely to win, and in fact,

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 4>he's already filming a reality show about his run for mayor,

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 4>so he definitely has his priorities over order.

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 2>That is so interesting because, like I know, Bill Maher

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and Jimmy kimmeler friends. I've seen Jimmy Kimmel on his

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>show a couple of different times, hanging out and talking

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.439
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that, and likewise the very practical and

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 2>very realistic Adam Carolla. But Bill Maher, you know, as

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a lifelong lefty who lives in Los Angeles, saying, look,

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>this is ridiculous. So we got street people everywhere, you

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>can't get anything done. Jimmy Kimmel goes with a Spencer

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Pratz a Karen for complaining about drug addicts in tents everywhere. Wow,

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that's really interesting. Are you being a Karen when you

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 2>pointed out that poor woman who was chased into a

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>furniture store and stabbed to death by a craze junkie?

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, was that? Is that being a Karen to

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 2>point out with the horror of that? Anyway, I got

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 2>another thing on the California elections, but I wanted to

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 2>follow up on a couple of things that Heather head

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Force headlines. That one about somebody paying a bunch of

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 2>money to have lunch with Warren Buffett and Steph Curry.

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>That sounds I would love to have lunch with either

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.199
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys alone. But I feel like if

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I was there with them together and you have that

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 2>whole thing going where you're trying to include everybody, like

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 2>at a party or something like that, it'd be really

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 2>difficult to do. I mean, I have specific questions for

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Warn't to have specific questions for Steph Curry, but neither

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 2>one of them. I don't know Steph Curry. I would

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like to lunch with Geddy Lee and Sam Altman. I mean,

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 2>come on, ged how do you get that bass sound? Sam?

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Will this restructure the economy? Getty? How do you play

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the keyboards? Sam? What? That's an odd combo? Anyway? Steph

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Curry's closer to Warren Buffett than the other way around.

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry just signed a four a new he's going

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>with a new shoe is under armor shoe thing. Ended

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 2>biggest sports contract at that time that had ever been signed.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>His new one with some Chinese shoe I've never even

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.919
<v Speaker 2>heard of. Oh boy, they're all kind of Chinese shoes,

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, Nike's an American company, but everything's made anyway.

0:19:54.240 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Leaning four hundred million dollars shoe deal Steph Curry signed

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 2>and his career is practically over four hundred million dollars.

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think you could talk business with both

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.919
<v Speaker 2>of those guys. Yeah, yeah, wow, I'm super uncomfortable with

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that though. It's a Chinese own company. That's the difference.

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 2>So you're under the influence of the communists Chinese by definition,

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 2>by definition on the election thing. So we got this

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 2>text people that are complaining about how slow California is

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 2>in counting the ballots, and lots of different people pointing

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 2>out how long it takes in different states, cities, or

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>countries around the world. California is the worst of any

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 2>like developed democracy on planet Earth in terms of getting results.

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And the problem is what we got this text. If

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>they did it super quick, you guys would say that's

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 2>too fast. It had to be rigged. No, I wouldn't

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>because nobody in history has ever said that everybody does

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it fast. And the likelihood that you believe a fast

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 2>result is obviously higher than a slow, drawn out result.

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Now I don't like. I was thinking about my big

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.479
<v Speaker 2>local measure where I live, and uh, you don't need

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to know the details, but it's a housing development, So

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking, like, how much money is involved? Here

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>in one small town and the vote is really close.

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>They're like five hundred votes apart, and they're forty percent

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.159
<v Speaker 2>of the way counting two days later. You've got how

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 2>many millions of dollars would you have involved in a

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 2>fifteen hundred home development of hundreds of acres? It would

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.959
<v Speaker 2>It'd have to be hundreds of millions of dollars, wouldn't it.

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>That's an awful lot of money because there's a park,

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 2>and there's roads, and there's whole kinds of stuff that

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 2>has to happen. That's a lot of money hinging on

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a very tiny election. Now. I don't have any reason

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to think that it's going to be rigged in any way,

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 2>but oh my god, there'd be a lot of people

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.439
<v Speaker 2>that would love to rig it if they could. And

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 2>you only got to change a couple votes, right, So yeah,

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 2>you got to get those results out fast. You're just

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.199
<v Speaker 2>asking for people to speculate when it takes you this

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 2>long account votes. The problem is it's got to take

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 2>this long because the Bizarro practically unprecedented in electoral history

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>system California has. You can mail in a ballot any

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 2>time before the election. You can mail it in day

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of it can get there a week later, it still

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 2>has to be counted. There's nothing like a deadline. There's

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 2>no structure to it. It's the most unstructured voting I've

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 2>ever seen in terms of time. And then the blanketing

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 2>of the state with mail in ballot's a state of

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 2>forty million people. I mean, that's just the reason nobody

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>else does it like that is because it's so wildly unmanageable,

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.479
<v Speaker 2>both logistically and security of the vote wise. But I

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, I guess I just so. It was all

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 2>driven by the goal I suppose to get as many

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 2>people to vote as possible, make it the easiest vote

0:22:56.160 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 2>as possible. Every half wit, bum junkie, the moron in

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 2>every corner of California, Let's get a ballot from them.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>They have no ability to manage their lives to get

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 2>to the polls, to figure out when voting day is.

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>What's your address collect all those votes? I don't know. Yes, Uh,

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.199
<v Speaker 2>can you tell me what your previous address was? I

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Well, the young woman you were talking about,

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Jack actually witnessed in line who didn't know her present

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 2>nor former address, but was still voting. She's in like

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 2>the eightieth percentile. She got herself to the pole. She

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 2>knew where to go, or at least knew where a

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 2>polling place was. But she's above average, well de designed

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:48.439
<v Speaker 2>to allow a collecting votes from morons and b fraud. Yeah,

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the whole the lot of the Save Act stuff that

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Trump's trying to get through. Still claiming that the twenty

0:23:54.400 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty election was stolen from him is uh, nonsensical or counterproductive.

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 2>But anything that makes it faster and leans towards showing

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 2>your idea is a good idea, and everybody should be

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>on board with that one hundred percent. Practically everybody is

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.479
<v Speaker 2>on board with it, as we've discussed many times, including

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of Democrats. A couple other headlines, just

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 2>to touch on, Israel and Lebanon agreed to implementation of

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a ceasefire. It's so complicated and Trump oversimplified it the

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 2>other day. What does that mean? So your headline right there,

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 2>you talked about this yesterday. Israel's not at war with Lebanon,

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So calling a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and them

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 2>signing an agreement, that's not the problem. Here's a little

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>tip for you from your old uncle Joe say you're

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 2>forming up a country and one of your political parties decides,

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're hardcore is Lamists and we don't want

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to wait around for our country to make decisions about

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 2>who needs to be killed or fought. We're going to

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.959
<v Speaker 2>arm our giant political party and kind of do what

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 2>we want most of the time. Don't do that. You

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want that in your country. So Lebanon's in a

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 2>situation where they do join with Hesbela at times if

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 2>they think Israel's gotten too belligerent or they're in armed conflict,

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and Hebela says, yeah, we'll help you out if you

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 2>need it, and they'll tell all right, you know, throw

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 2>some rockets at Israel. But a significant amount of the

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 2>time of the legitimate government of Lebanon and Lebanese people

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>are thinking, can we get these lunatics out of here,

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 2>or at least get them to disarm, because then we

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:24.439
<v Speaker 2>can have peace with Israel. Israel has no desire for conquest.

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>They just don't want to be attacked anymore. So what's

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 2>happened now, And as you're kind of indirectly pointing out,

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't mean peace has come. Lebanon has just said

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to Israel. Look, we're not fighting each other, right, so

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 2>do us a favor and be Israel, be a little

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>restrained when you're attacking Hezbela, because don't draw us into it,

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 2>because we don't want any part of it. And Israel said, okay,

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>let's be cool and concentrate on Hesbela. So that's my

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 2>nickel version of what's happening right now. But Trump said

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Israel's got to stop fighting Lebanon, and that's that's again oversimplified,

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's a good sign. I think at least maybe

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>if fighting rezumes, Israel can point out to Trump and others, look,

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 2>we're not fighting Lebanon. We have an agreement with Lebanon. Lebanon.

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Are we fighting you? No, you're not. And it's just

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the Islamist Iranian proxies. Again. Yeah, there's some interesting Wall

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Street Journal reporting on Trump's attitude about the war. But

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 2>we can tell you about it right after we tell

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you about rough greens, which is something you need to

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>get for your dog. You put it on your dog's

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:31.679
<v Speaker 2>current food. You don't have to change your dog's food

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 2>because your dog doesn't like Your dog's stomach does not

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 2>like it when you change food. It has been my experience.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 2>But you put rough Greens on top of the food

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and you got all this live probiotics, enzymes, omega oils,

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.240

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Street Journals reporting around the war with Iran, President Trump

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>has told aids privately that he would consider surprise. It's

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:35.639
<v Speaker 2>just consider ending the ceasefire if Tehran kills American troops.

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 2>US officials said, insisting that the week's long paws and

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 2>air strikes remains intact despite a steady stream of violet skirmishes.

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>So he's gonna hold on to it. The little tit

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for tat they call it tit for tat when you're

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>sending ballistic missiles at each other. It's set some pretty

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 2>heavy duty tit for tat. But if you kill a

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 2>bunch of American troops, Trump's gonna end the ceasefire and attack.

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>He'd consider it. They said, Yeah, beware, because the headline

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in the Wall Street Journals exclusive is Trump tells aids

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>he won't resume all out war unless US troops are killed.

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 2>And then you read the entire body of the article

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and you realize, no, that's not what he said. He

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>said he would seriously consider ending the ceasefire if Iran

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 2>killed American troops, not that that was the only trigger

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>or that that was the only scenario. It's a terrible misleading.

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I see the difference you're pointing out, but I would

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 2>rather he used the words hell, yeah, f yeah, if

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>they kill US troops, we're going back to war, as

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 2>opposed to a consider a much stronger language, right, and

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 2>or how about yeah, we're going to go back to

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>serious war unless they come to the table in a

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 2>serious way, I'd agree to a deal. I think Trump

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>has lost his nerve and his willingness to rattle the

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 2>world economy to push as hard as it's going to

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 2>take to get Iran to Actually, I have not been

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 2>on board with the taco thing, through any of this stuff,

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 2>tariffs or any of this stuff. He has lost his

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 2>nerve on this one. He chickened out. And I'm not

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>exactly sure why. The market. I mean, he doesn't care

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 2>about people's opinions. He does care about the market, but yeah,

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 2>he clearly is chickened out. We were talking to Nora

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Rothman yesterday. He is a journalist with the National Review,

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and he's got a book called Blood and Progress about

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 2>left wing violence. Anyway, we did a podcast with him

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>yesterday that you can find where you find podcasts. But anyway,

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 2>we said what Joe said a couple of weeks ago

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to him, because I wondered what his reaction was. Iran

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 2>getting a nuclear weapon would be one of the biggest

0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 2>developments in world history. And he said, absolutely, he agrees.

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how it would not. I don't know

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>how you'd make the argument that wouldn't be with that

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>on the table and a negative development, not like electricity

0:29:57.600 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 2>is one of the biggest developments in world history too,

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 2>but didn't leave to World War three? How is that

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the case ran getting a new clear upon to be

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 2>one of the worst things that's ever happened on planet Earth.

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 2>And because gas is going to be high this summer,

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 2>we're just gonna not bother, not bother. Yeah, now I

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 2>think it's awful. It's terrible mismanagement. I want to pay

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 2>off next hour the young mount farm boy who made

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>skyscrapers possible. It might be a slight overstatement, but it's

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 2>a cool story. It's a Right Brothers esque tale, a

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:35.719
<v Speaker 2>couple of bicycle repairmen that'll never happen. Plus we've got

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a mailbag coming up, and Sam Holtman says, you're not

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 2>going to lose your job to AI, and I would

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 2>certainly believe him. Why would he lie to you? Among

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 2>other things? On the way stay here, I didn't talk

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 2>later about my new face. Remember I made a conscious

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 2>effort to have a different face about a year ago.

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's really been working for me. It's quite amazing.

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it could help out you know somebody who's listening,

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 2>because it's extraordinary. Your jowel lift? Is that what you mean?

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Also have this headline we'll get to it's here. The

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 2>new world screwworm has shown up in the United States,

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 2>first example in Texas, and look for it near you.

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Flesh eating bacteria loving, gonna get into your eyeballs. Screw,

0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a stake on it. May let's not frighten people

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 2>so it eats your flesh and kills you think you

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 2>got about a fifty to fifty chance. Here's your freedom

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 2>loving quote of today. I decided, in the wake of

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 2>our discussion of Trump's negotiating with it, their on apparently

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 2>who everything charged to do some quotes about negotiation. Let's

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 2>go with this one. Where'd that go? Oh? There it

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 2>is John F. Kennedy from nineteen sixty one. We cannot

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 2>negotiate with people who say what's mine is mine and

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>what's yours is negotiable. That's a good line. Or I

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>actually like this one. It's you know, laying out the

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 2>very basics. It's from John Maynard Keynes, who u the

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 2>father of Kingsey and economics, who ruined the world. But

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>when the final result is expected to be a compromise.

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It is often prudent to start from an extreme position. Ah,

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>that's a good one. Peg the negotiations way over there.

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, you're dragging me off away over there.

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>What kind of monster are you? Ogay, I'll come a

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Yeah. Mailbag drops a note mail bag at

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:45.520

0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 2>heard your commentary about people who are bubbled don't know

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 2>their bubble one music, Slow down, Joe, one musician friend

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of mine who goes all the way back to school

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 2>days is brilliant. A grad of a major university astounded

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>me by being unaware of the enslavement in some cases

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>genocide of the wigers. Turns out he had a national

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 2>geographic magazine on his coffee table with an in depth

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 2>article about it. He just hadn't gotten around to it.

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>He was clearly disturbed. He shook his head after reading

0:33:27.680 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 2>quite a bit of it and said, I had no

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>idea this was happening. Bah blah blah. He was in

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 2>disbelief when I commented that eighty to ninety percent of

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 2>homeless or drug addicts alcoholics are both, which is why

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 2>they can't keep a job or a domicile. He also

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>believes that ms now, especially Rachel Maddow or honest journalists.

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:50.239
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, well, it's has been pointed out by us

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 2>and many other people. It's a lot harder to be

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 2>bubbled if you lean to the right, because you're confronted

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 2>with a different version of it every time you flip

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>on the television or or go to a movie, or

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>your kids coming home from school or whatever. Are you

0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 2>yourself go to school as a younger person, you're subjected.

0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>You're subjected. You're exposed to those arguments and have to

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 2>learn to deal with them and confront why you think

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 2>they're either right or wrong your whole life. Liberals need

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 2>not do that, so they're bubbled. Thought this was a great,

0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 2>great summary from Jeff on the true Marxist strategy. It's

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 2>a strategy of patients and persistence the Marxist strategy to

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 2>infiltrate the US was a long term cultural revolution, not

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 2>an armed rebellion. By methodically placing ideological sympathizers into education, media, government,

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and corporate power structures, the American worldview has been shifted

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 2>dramatically over the past century. Today, many Americans are unaware

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 2>that what they see as normal progress was in fact

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 2>carefully orchestrated over decades following a playbook written by Gramsky,

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 2>refined by Marcuse, and executed by a legion of activists

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 2>opposing as educator's journalists and public servants. That's exactly right.

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 2>If there's a lesson to be learned, it's this cultural

0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:08.400
<v Speaker 2>warfare is real and fought not with guns, but with ideas, textbooks,

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and television screens. You know. It kind of reminds me

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 2>of the way conservatives, pro life conservatives got Roll versus

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Wade finally overturned. That was a like half century project

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 2>from the Federal Society to try to, you know, get

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 2>judges in places at lower levels, let it play out

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 2>over a very long period of time. To try to

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 2>reverse that, you have to play a long game with

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 2>some of these big ideas, and they have on the

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>other side with Marxism in our schools and media for

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:47.040
<v Speaker 2>longer than that. Yeah. Yeah. And then finally, Kevin from

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful Placerville, California points out that Nate Silver talking about

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:56.919
<v Speaker 2>California's electoral system and how hopeless it is, Nate called

0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 2>it learned helplessness, and he says, I take issue with

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the characterization because it completely mixdiagnoses the issue. It's this

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:09.839
<v Speaker 2>is exactly how they want the system to function. They

0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>want a gigantic, untrackable flood of votes that they can

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 2>then harvest and control. It's not a mistake, it's it's

0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>it's intentional. Yeah. And then it's got the help of

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 2>it makes it seem like you're trying to count every

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 2>vote out there. Seeing get a lot of people on

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 2>board who lean that direction. Armstrong and Getty
