WEBVTT - Smoking Is Hot!? 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:06.600 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:24.840 Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Jetty Trump 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.120 thinks changing the clocks twice a year is stupid. Congress 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.080 voted on it yesterday. They overwhelmingly agreed. More on that 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.120 a little bit later where that might be going. And 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.319 according to the Washington Post, and I don't know if 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.440 this is true or not, but they claim that cigarettes 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.560 are cool again, cigarettes are cool again with the young people. 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.800 Is just kind of a fang. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.479 I saw that headline and it didn't get a chance 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.440 to look into it. Okay, all right, they're bad for 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.960 you kids. It's not a good idema. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.600 They know it's bad for him, but they just think 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.880 it looks cool. Yeah, I think that does look cool. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.280 By the way, Oh, that's terrible. You just encourage smoking there. Umm. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.520 I think it may have to do with what we're 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.520 about to talk about it, at least to some extent, 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.800 because the forces of the political left that are trying 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.600 to overthrow Western civilization in the United States, capitalism at Sarah, 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.720 they've got to convince young people in particular that they 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.920 have no future. You know, their lives are miserable and 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.360 put upon, you might as well smoke. 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.280 What's the point? Who cares? I know we're going in 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.000 that direction, but uh yeah, one thing they acknowledge, and 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.800 I think this is true, smoking cigarettes looks cool for 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.160 men and women. A chick who smokes, I don't know 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.440 why that's so hot, I mean, and every It must 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.360 be universal because they do it in movies all the time. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:37.320 The hot chick smokes. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.600 But because you know they're not a goodie two shoes, 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.280 which means they might also be sexual libertines. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.920 Is that what's going on subconsciously? Kind of? 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.480 No, consciously, I just explained it to you consciously consciously. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:55.240 But I know what's the if she smokes, she pokes? 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.040 Is that what they used to say, good Lord points 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:05.480 for being concise. Vaping is douchey, though, looks douchey for everyone, 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.040 and everybody does it. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.720 Yeah, men and women, nothing cool looking mind in their douchiness. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.320 There's nothing cool looking about grabbing the vape pen and 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.000 taking away. Isn't that interesting? Though? So it can't just 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.600 be the It can't be what you said then, because 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.600 that doesn't make sense because vaping's even worse for you. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.320 So I don't think, Wow, she's vaping, and that's even 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.119 worse than having a cigarette. Very hot. I don't think 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:32.600 that vaping looks dumb. Smoking a cigarette looks cool. I 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.720 think we're just convinced by movies from way back in 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.000 the day. All the cool people smoked, and that got 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.760 into our heads if you're of a certain age. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.240 Yeah, mostly I'm trying to come up with a rhyme 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:48.240 involving vaping that's not abhorn and I can't. So never mind, right, Yeah, 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.720 don't even do not No, nobody, nobody is allowed to so. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.359 On a more serious topic, I think not enough people 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:05.559 understand that one of the great strategies, the absolutely written down, understood, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.880 agreed upon strategies of the radical left, whether they're of 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.560 the conventional like Neo Marxist types or Islamists for that matter, 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.440 one of the main strategies is to deny that they're 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.399 doing what they're doing. They some of them will say 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.440 openly they want to overthrow the constitution. A lot of 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.760 them will just say, though, we want fairness, or we 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.360 want the opportunity to worship the way we want, blah 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.480 blah blah, And one of the great examples of that 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:37.040 is you remember during the the woke Apocalypse, when everybody 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.520 was afraid to say no. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.040 A man can't just say is a woman. That doesn't 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:41.920 make him a woman. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.680 You can lose your job for that, or saying all 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.960 lives matter or whatever. During the woke Apocalypse, everybody was afraid. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.360 We weren't afraid. We were saying what we wanted to anyway. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.720 One thing I heard a hundred times is that critical 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:00.120 race theory. It's not being taught in schools. That's an 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:05.600 secure legal concept that's taught in some law schools, as 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.720 if critical theory that the philosophy launched in the sixties 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.640 by Frenchmen, because of course it was Frenchman. That's everywhere 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.719 in universities, it's everywhere in the colleges of education, it's 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.839 everywhere in the teachers' unions, it's everywhere in freaking third 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.560 grade classes in a lot of places. Now they're teaching 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.800 the kids that America is a racist country, that it's 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.680 systemically racist, it needs to be brought down, be brought down. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.480 Capitalism is evil, it exploits people, blah blah blah all 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.720 the time. But they deny they're doing it obviously, so 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.920 this is something else. How open some people are being 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.520 about this. The Chicago teach Chicago Teachers Union hosted an 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:53.599 Israel hating communist convention where radicals were openly calling for 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.040 sabotaging US ports and backing Iran. Here's one quote from 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.000 the meeting. If we can shut down even one term 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.840 for two hours, that's millions of dollars out in logistics. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.719 So the CTU hosted a Marxist anti Israel conference last weekend, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.039 which openly celebrated terrorism, introduced fledgling activists to quote the 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.800 growing BDS movement. BDS is where you like, tie up 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.679 your lover and spank them. What I'm sorry the control 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:21.320 room is telling me. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.480 I thought it was them South Korean androgynist boy band. No, no, 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.080 neither one. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:34.160 It's actually the Boycott, divest sanction movement, virulently anti Israel. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.039 Yeah, I don't like you. I don't know why teachers 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.320 have an opinion at all on Israel. You teach reading 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.920 and science, particularly there in Chicago, where you're doing a 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.200 horrible job of it, but to not only be anti 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.359 Israel but pro Ooran. Yeah, that's just insane. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.840 Well, it's the Red Green Alliance we're always talking about, 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.760 but they were pushing their adherence to again grow join 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.200 The growing BDS movement called on its members to support 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:06.120 Israel's I'm sorry, Iran's Axis of Resistance. You need to 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.640 support Iran because they're part of the resistance against the 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.760 Western patriarchy, good Lord, and telling them to prepare for 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.680 violence against the United States and Israel. Ryan Delaying, each 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:24.200 chair of communications for Jacksonville, Palestine's Solidarity Network, told attendees, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.840 We're all here to toughen our knuckles. I hope that 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.559 everybody leaves here ready to fight when they get home. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.080 He told roughly two hundred cheering attendees, not only two hundred, 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.640 but again, what the off is the Chicago Teachers Union 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.359 doing there. Sarah Flounders, a member charmingly named member of 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.480 the Secretariat of the Marxist Leninist Workers World Party, thundered 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.200 to the crowd that the enemy is at home. Change 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.760 doesn't ask for permission. It'll be violent, it'll be stormy, 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:58.520 it'll be unpredictable. But she praised attendees as a really militant, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:04.240 determined group. The second annual gathering of the Anti War 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.640 Action Network and agglomeration of dozens of local activist groups 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.400 around the country, united by their hatred of Israel and 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:16.520 mission to obstruct American imperialism quote unquote. The Washington Free 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.600 Beacon purchased a couple of tickets and was able to 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.240 seamlessly mingle with attendees for two days and observe to 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:28.520 all of this stuff. The gathering was held at the 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.760 Teachers Union's headquarters at nineteen oh one West Carol Avenue 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.160 in the city's West Town neighborhood. That's very close to 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.600 where the RNs or the DNC was last year, last year, 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:40.080 two years. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.880 Two years ago. Today. No, that was the DNZ, that 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.200 was not today anyway. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.920 There was Teachers Union signage, even a headless mannequin wearing 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.200 Chicago Teachers Union t shirts were present throughout the venue. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.760 Conference goers were a motley crew of aspiring revolutionaries. This 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.640 is not going to help the point I'm making that 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.000 we need to take this seriously, but I will include it. Nonetheless, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.160 About twenty percent wore masks for some reason. Many attendees 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.120 were noticeably obese, and there was also a large contingent 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:16.280 of openly transgender participants. Breakfasts included gluten free and panadas 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.480 and vegan fair while a gender neutral bathroom did brisk business. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.720 They wore masks. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.120 You know a lot of this, and this is intentional 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:33.120 by the neo Marxist movement. They want to take every misfit, 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:39.800 every trans confused person who's not comfortable with their sex, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:46.280 every gay person, every alienated kid who in generations past 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.480 would grow their hair and learn to play the guitar, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.800 you know, every person with a useless degree that put 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.960 them one hundred thousand dollars in debt, and now they're 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.120 blaming capitalism for their life choices. They're trying to harness 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.000 all of these people and tell them it's the evils 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.840 of the system and we need to overthrow it. The 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.679 reason you don't have a happy life is because of 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.920 the system. Blame others. That's the key aspect of socialism. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.520 It's the politics of envy and blame. But man, it's 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.640 just sick that the teachers' union is so involved in this. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.000 Of course, the teachers' unions. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.160 Are now hardcore, a validly far leftist organizations. They have 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.760 nothing to do with children and teachers at all. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.400 No, I don't understand why more people don't know that. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.320 A map of the meeting facility, which guided convention goers 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.920 to the different rooms named for various prominent terrorists and dictators, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.760 had the name Chicago's Teachers Union prominently displayed next to 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:48.840 a map of Iran. They openly play praised Fidel Castro, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.680 maout say dung. There's a reference in one of the 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:58.000 posters to oh our elder mentor uncle Joe. Was a 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.800 reference to Joseph Stalin. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:07.400 So this wasn't a California Teachers' Union meeting, but they 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:12.040 used or Chicago Teachers' Union meeting, but they used their building. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.400 But yeah, and they sanctioned it and co sponstered it 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.600 in effect. But the fact that there's not more pressure 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.160 put on Chicago. We've gone through their numbers. There's schools 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.840 in the Chicago area where you could make the argument 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.679 that the kids would be better off if you close 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.440 the school, or at least there would be no more 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.079 harm done. They have zero percent kids. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:41.120 With fluency in writing in mathematics, so you could make 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:42.920 the argument that you should just close the school. It 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.480 wouldn't make any difference. Do they have to answer for 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.240 that at all or are you too busy trying to 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.640 figure out why we should help or Ran. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.800 I think we need to be as militantly anti these 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.160 people as they are anti the country that we love. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.839 I really, I really mean that we have we wited way, way, 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.480 way too long. Look at the schools now, there are 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:10.560 factories of indoctrination of the little kids. It's crazy anyway, Yeah, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:11.400 it is crazy. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.480 Makes you want to go out on the playground and 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.000 smoke a cigarette, which I guess is cool. Again, it's 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.800 not good for your kids. Talk about that. Among other things. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.040 On the way, this happened while we were on there 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.520 yesterday are yesterday, So we talked about it a little bit. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.160 But Trump reversed course completely on that whole tolls for 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:36.480 the straight over moves. Hey, he's spitballing, brainstorming. There are 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.800 no bad ideas here, and so where we are on 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.560 that whole war. The New York Times basically declaring today 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.560 that we have lost the war. I don't know if 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.040 that's true or not. There's still time to salvage it. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.440 We ain't want it, that's for certain. Among other things 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.320 on the way, stay. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:12:04.480 Here, Patrick Layy, a broken hit, Nancy Pelosi hit replacement surgery. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.120 And study Hoyer in the hospital with pneumonia. Elenor Holmes 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.120 Norton is in the early stages of dementia. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.199 Dwight Evans, who's seventy one. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.560 At a stroke, Bernie Sanders a sideline by a heart attack. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.160 Congressman Kay Granger lived in an assistant living facility for 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.079 dementia patients while still serving in Congress and drawing a 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.200 congressional paycheck. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.240 Why are we tolerating this level of national frailty in 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.079 our lawmaking? And it's not just anti old people. It's 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.600 not disrespect to ask this question. In Japan, they revere 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.080 the elderly, but the one thing they don't do is 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.840 put them in charge of everything. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.440 That's really interesting. I wonder if we're going to break 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.360 away from that all at all kind of thought after 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.319 Joe Biden, maybe we would. Obviously we've followed Joe Biden 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.079 with the Trump will be the oldest president ever by 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.680 the time he leaves, won't he? Yeah, he's eight. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.840 Wonder if it used to be you know, the power 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.920 of incumbency had to do with I think most districts 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.920 being more competitive. I mean, now, if you say to 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.360 me in my district, hey, we're gonna swap out this 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.560 Republican for this Republican. I'm like, yeah, okay, that's fine. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.320 I'm not going to root for the Democrat, and either 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.200 is anybody else, and vice versa in other districts. So 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.520 why are we hanging on to these ancients? If you 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.959 just swap out one D for another, one R for another, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:30.960 maybe it'll come to an end. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.720 I don't know, because to run you'd have to have 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.400 the backing of the party, and they're at no point 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.800 ever gonna take even the slightest risk of swapping out 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.360 the seventy two. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.960 Year old for a forty two year old, especially if 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.600 the seventy two year old kind of likes the gig right, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.720 I guess I don't know, but we got to break 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:52.400 out of it somehow. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.439 It's just it's it's nut. So there's no other aspect 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.040 of life where you'd say, you know, let's let's let's 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.440 turn it all over to a seventy year olds and 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.960 eighty year olds almost exclusively to do it right. What 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.360 that is really really wild. But on the other hand, 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.320 Mark Alprin says that at least currently he thinks Bernie 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.439 Sanders has got a really strong chance of being the 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.160 Democratic nominee based on the directions the winds blowing and 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.640 Bernie's success in the past, and in fact that Bernie 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.960 stills as sharp as ever he has. He doesn't look 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.600 like he's lost a step and he's eighty four. I 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:29.440 think Alpern's right. All the energy on the left is 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.240 the young socialists. You could tell you so them socialism 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.640 isn't something to be apologized for, to something to brag about. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.400 He could easily see Bernie getting the nomination. I think 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.120 could they necap him a third time? I don't know. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.280 He might necap himself with a fall. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.960 Remember it took a couple of heroes like James Clyburn 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.640 and Joe Biden to save the Democrats from the scourge 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.760 of Bernie last time. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.560 So he's got a birthday coming up, so I think 0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:01.320 he'll be eighty seven when he took office. Wow, is 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.360 that right? Yeah, because he's got a birthday coming up, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.800 so the eighty five, and then he would be eighty 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.880 seven when he actually took office if he won that, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:14.040 I mean that we're already into ridiculous vill that we 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.480 have presidents in their eighties, but eighty. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:22.000 Seven, right, Democrats, he's tanned, he's rested he's been in 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.120 the gym. Eric Swallwell, maybe a little rapie, maybe a 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.840 little Chinese spy lover, but come on. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.200 This just came across this article. They're really trying to 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.440 get a different security system going at airports in Europe 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:41.400 the EU, particularly all biometric checkpoints, which they think is 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.720 going to speed things up once they get it going, 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.640 but trying to get it going is really bogging things down. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.600 I'm glad I'm not traveling around Europe this summer. They 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.080 got to get you into the system first, with your fingerprints, 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.200 your eye scans, your face scans, all the different sort 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.960 of stuff. So the first time you fly anywhere in 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.840 the EU system this summer, they got to get all 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.960 that information, which takes a while. So the lines have 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.400 been terrible, hours long waits anytime of day, everywhere. But 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.640 the theory is once you're in the system, it's going 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.800 to be much faster than having to show a passport 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.600 or anything else. You'll just walk through and it'll read 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.840 all your biometrics and it'll be practically instantaneous, which sounds 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.600 pretty cool other than the being able to track you 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.120 everywhere you go part of it. It was funny and 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.880 I meant to talk about this going to and fro 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.240 the United States for our cruise to Alaskas, because we 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.240 had to pass briefly through the lawless region of Canada. 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:35.880 Oh my god. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.440 But there are a lot of biometrics being used in 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.320 airports now, including in customs. We just paused in front 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.000 of a camera, took pictures of us and said, hey, Joe, 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.640 welcome back to the States. How are you, buddy, and 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.520 then we filled out our silly little form for customs. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.320 I probably shouldn't talk about this. And the passenger I 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.760 knew of was asked do you have anything to declare? 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.240 And that passenger said, yeah, I bought some earrings that 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.320 were way above the limit. The officer said, enjoy them. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:12.280 That passenger just kept walking. So I'm not sure what 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.200 we're doing here any fear not Osama bin Laden and 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:15.919 they let you back in. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.679 Do you have anything to declare? I like shares music? 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.680 Does that count? So before I get into a bunch 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.200 of news I want to talk about, just didn't add 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.119 a little bit of go for this new bed I 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.800 got from a locally. Because we're on a bunch of 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.720 stations across the country. I don't know where you're listening 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.480 to us right now or listening to the podcast, but 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.520 we're broadcasting out of Sacramento. And I got a new 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.200 bed from European Sleep Design. But anyway I was doing it. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.720 I was mentioned in the ad that I got the 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.720 movable base, which I had once years and years ago 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.200 on a bed, but I never used it for some reason. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.600 I don't know why. I don't even remember why, but 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.560 I just never used it and never really thought about 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:54.879 it using. But now I got it and I use 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.960 it all the time. It's one of my favorite things 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.520 that's ever happened in my life. Like raise my feet 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.520 up and everything. I'm really enjoying it. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.240 Wow, I pictured you more like you're raising your top 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:09.600 up to read or something like. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.399 I do some of that, Yeah, but I don't know 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.000 why I haven't. It vibrates also, which I haven't found 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.360 that beneficial to me a bit. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.040 Yeah, the whole vibrating bed thing. I learned that as 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.119 a kid back in the day. Gladys I remember it was. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.400 The nineteen seventies. That was a young lad. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.399 We were traveling back and forth to my grandparents in 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.760 New Jersey, and we would usually stop for one night 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.360 on the way and often the beds in the hotels 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.679 would have what was called, charmingly at the time, magic fingers. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.400 Oh right, you're right. You can stop at a super eight, 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.159 and some of the beds would have magic fingers. You 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.760 put coins in a slot like it was a car 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:47.760 wash or something or. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.280 Pitball, put a corner in there, and the thing vibrates 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.800 somewhat for about five minutes. And it was pretty funny 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.119 as a kid that the bed was vibrating like that. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.159 But I didn't find the relaxing. Well, weren't the jokes. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:03.919 So I got the sense as a kid that it 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.480 was a sexual thing with the jokes that were on 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.160 sitcoms and whatnot. Is that why why do people want 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.320 the bed devices. I'll go home today, I'll lay face 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:15.600 down on it and let you know what I mean 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:20.800 of it. Oh my god, that was regrettable. Let's move on. 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.760 Let's just move on. And I'm liking the movable base. 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:25.200 I don't know why. It's like one of the great 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.240 pleasures of my life. Now we got much higher. My 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.840 feet are than my torso it's amazing. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.600 Mere, the great pleasures of your lifeh You like. 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.520 The Buddha over here. I just realized you've been into 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.679 the free press more than I have been. I just 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.040 realized every day we ought to just go through the 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:50.640 free presses big stories because they're always great. Like for today, 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:56.800 I'll do it. Their first story is about how telehealth 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.080 might be killing us, and they got an example of 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.800 a kid that was having some health problems and died, 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.520 and then they found out no doctor ever like examined 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.880 him in person. It was all telehealth and how that's 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:14.399 a really growing part of our medical care. And he 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.520 went to the ICU. Yeah, yeah, icee you telehealth? 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.280 Yes, what seriously, the guy's in the ic you and 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.040 they can't spare a human being to go to his 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:25.200 bedside and check him out. 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:30.320 That's obscene. Yeah, And it's a growing thing, the rise 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.040 of tele ICU, where critically ill patients are monitored by 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:38.000 physicians working from remote command centers, sometimes hundreds of miles away. 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.359 And we haven't like really had a national conversation about 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:42.720 whether or not we think this is a good idea 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.480 or not. So that's one really good story that they've 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.240 got in the free press today. The other one is 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.639 this one, which I'll actually read in full. A third 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.639 Trump impeachment some Democrats aren't so sure. I didn't realize this. 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.640 Apparently there's quite a split among Democrats as to whether 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.080 or not impeaching for a third time is a good 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.760 idea or not. I've been assuming that as soon as 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.960 the Democrats take the House. You got blasted on a 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.080 text the other day. I get blasted on texts and 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.400 tweets every single day about all kinds of different things, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.200 from my looks to my opinions. But got blast the 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:18.680 text the other day. Why do you keep saying the 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:23.680 Democrats are going to take the House because they are anyway, 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.040 I've just been assuming as soon as they take the 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:32.640 House they're going to immediately impeach Trump. But apparently there's 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.240 quite a civil war according to the Free Press and 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.879 Audrey Fahlberg in the Democratic Party, whether that would be 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:43.119 the best expenditure of their time and you know, control 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.640 of the House as opposed to trying to accomplish other 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.840 things cool. I think at trump appeachment would be an 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:51.959 incredible waste of time for the country. He's not going 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.520 to be removed from office, there's almost zero chance of that, 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.040 and we would just spend you know, a year, however long, 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.919 going through that whole dog and Pony show again with 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.840 nothing happening right right, But here's the story. I mostly 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.080 wanted to talk about it in the Free Press that 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.639 I thought was really really interesting that Douglas Murray, the 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:12.600 Great Douglas Murray, now that he's with the Free Press. 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:16.119 I had a feeling you were heading here how all 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.800 gay cruise got stuck between Islam and the West. And 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.679 one of the reasons it got my attention is because 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.680 I saw the headline about this on Seeing and the 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:31.200 other day. So you got these gay cruises, this particular one, 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.879 the Scarlet Lady, two thousand gay Americans traveling around They 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:39.359
