00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: Dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and.

Speaker 1: Getty Communications Compound.

7
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: It's Thursday, Array and today we're under the tutelage of

8
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: our general manager. Surprise general manager. Today it was going

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: to be free Frank parts of Germany, but he was

10
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: hedged out at the wire by woolly mammoths. I don't

11
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: know if I've ever been as excited about anything as

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: I am about this only mammoth story.

13
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're gonna be I get it.

14
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: You're gonna see herds of wool or pods or murders

15
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: or whatever they call them, a wooly mammoths just greening

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: across the landscape in a meadow near you any minute now.

17
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: So somebody's claiming they're gonna have them back by twenty

18
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: eight and they will release some bacteria or something into

19
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: the world that we haven't had in ten thousand years,

20
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: and will all be dead within a week most likely, Yes,

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: But so scientists involved in the effort Jack again, as

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: you said, making some really bold predictions of wooly mammoths

23
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: being successfully cloned and produced by the year twenty twenty eight.

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: The major breakthrough just this week they've managed to produce

25
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: some really hairy mice.

26
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's a step in the right direction. I

27
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: guess it.

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: Seems to me like the AI thing, where at least

29
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: AI there's well, I guess in both cases there's upside.

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 3: The upside for the wooly mammoth is just wouldn't it

31
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: be cool to see a wooly mammoth?

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Right? That's the whole upside?

33
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh sure, Upliving the wooly mammoth would be amazing. Are

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: they delicious or something? Is there something else we don't know?

35
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: Or their their fur is the softest You wait till

36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: you have a jacket made from wly mammoth. You have

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: no idea something like that, But I about to say

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: it's are already plenty soft. It reminds me about the AI,

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: where all kinds of people worn of the possible downsides.

40
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: Yet do we keep pushing that direction no matter what.

41
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: If there's no there's no We're gonna do it. We're

42
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: gonna bring back species that have been dead forever. There's

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: just no snopanists. So I know everybody, all ethicists and

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: scientists are saying, could be a downside, but whatever, you

45
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: gotta do it if you can. Two points number one,

46
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: these folks who are you know, behind this effort maintained

47
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: that because biodiversity is vanishing from the globe and beasts

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: are going extinct because of you know, the explosion of

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: mankind of the globe, that we need to have the

50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: means by which to bring back extinct species in case

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: we accidentally snuff them out. Seems like a good argument.

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: On the other hand, these people who I tell you

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: what I give you ten to one, they're convicted of

54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: some sort of fraud at some point. There's you know,

55
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: they're not going to I can't remember what my second

56
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: point was, but and we'll bring you the report and

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: have some more comment on it later, but it just

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: doesn't ring true to me. Well, it's gonna be like

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: you hear these stories around the world where they brought

60
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: in a certain kind of mouse to eat the ants

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: that were causing problems, and then you had to bring

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: in a cat eat the mice.

63
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: And then you had to bring it.

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: So are we gonna have to bring in pterodactyls to

65
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: thin out the wooly mammoths as they start to overrun cities?

66
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: And then it just keeps going from there. And if

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: we had wily mammoths back then, what as you say? Yeah, yeah,

68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: it might be a one time visit for every person

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: in their whole lives.

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Cool.

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: I saw wily mammoth anyway, it was something. It was

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: like an elephant. But really, Harry, you don't say, you know,

73
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: I don't say, I hope this isn't like when China

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: dresses up an animal and says, hey, this is a

75
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: new animal.

76
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: It's just a dog with like you know, especially, I

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: just think that'd be safer.

78
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Let's just shave a chow and put it next to

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: a tiny car to give it weird perspective.

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: And I call it a wooly mammoth. Good enough for me.

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Come on, you know, I was actually thinking.

82
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: Looking over all the headlines of the day. There there

83
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 3: are so many things going on that a lot of

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: my favorite things I want I would like to have

85
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: national discussions about are getting.

86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Lost in the mix, like this school thing.

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: So Trump announces yesterday he wants to do away with

88
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: the Department of Education, and today he's gonna sign an

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: executive order something like that, and it's gonna be very

90
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: complicated and difficult, But it's just it's just like eleventh

91
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: on the list of big things things going on, and

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: I just I don't think it's getting the full because

93
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: I would love it if we had a big national

94
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: battle over how much do we need public schools in

95
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: their current form?

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Who's happy with things that's writing?

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: Certainly the current what do you call it the flow

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: chart of management? Who you know is in charge of

99
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: what policy and to what extent should the federal government

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: be involved at all. It's an interesting discussion. I'm reminded

101
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: of something my sainted mother taught.

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: Man.

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was my mom who first introduced

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: to me that the idea of constantly responding to the

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: urgent at the cost of the important. And I think

106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: that's what we do often in the national conversation.

107
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, for instance, Trump announced yesterday

109
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: we'll read his post a little bit later, but he

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: threatened a mass Now release them all now, or hell

111
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: is gonna come. Okay, Well, that's a pretty big story,

112
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: and that's urgent and important, but it certainly obliterates any

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: conversation about that. And you know that whole tariff thing.

114
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: He backed off that. Soone, okay, I'll give you till

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: whenever it is April now on the whole cars thing.

116
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: Because the major carmakers in the United States, GM, Ford

117
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: and what's the other one, Stilantis THATTT represents who Chrysler, Dodge,

118
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: Gee in a half a dozen other brands. It's a

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: giant global conglomerate that owns a bunch of stuff.

120
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't like that name. Anyway. The leaders for.

121
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: I'll drop of a note and ask them to change it.

122
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: What can I change it back to something I've heard of.

123
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: The leaders of the big carmakers went to Trump said

124
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: he can't do this. I mean, this is gonna kill us.

125
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: And he basically said, well, then move your plants to

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: the United States. You know, I'll give you a till.

127
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: I think it's April first, isn't it, uh April Seltom's right, yeah, yeah,

128
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: But you know, I need to see some evidence that

129
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: you're really really working at trying to bring your plants

130
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: back to the United States or the tariffs happened.

131
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's a pretty big thing economically.

132
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the whole president having carte blanche to because

133
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: a tariff is a tax, it's an import tax, and

134
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: for the president to have the unilateral power to tax

135
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: as he sees fit based on criteria he sets. I'm

136
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: not comfortable with that because you know, maybe Trump's your guy,

137
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: maybe is not, but your guys in office one day,

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: they're guys in office the next day, or presume it

139
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: could be a woman, I'm told, and then you know,

140
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: God knows what sort of you know, I could see

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: Senile Biden, who really didn't do anything. His advisors pulled

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: the strings of his decreasingly decrepit puppet form. But they

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: could insist that, all right, we're going to put a

144
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: twenty percent duty on anybody. I said, duty on anybody

145
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: who does not completely conform with the green energy hope.

146
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Oh right, woke garbage absolutely could have done that. We

147
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: have an emergency in our transgender community.

148
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: Therefore, if you don't say a man is a woman

149
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: just because he says he's a woman, twenty five percent

150
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: tariff on your goods, and I just I'm uncomfortable with

151
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Yeah, it is interesting for the president

152
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: to have that level of instantaneous solo power nower of taxation,

153
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: which if I recall from the Constitution as well, I

154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: think we all know the end of that.

155
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's why you have to go with the whole

156
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: emergency thing.

157
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: It's about the fentanyl, oh kay, which I was going

158
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: to say, proving your point. Just to go back to

159
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: your original point, I could give you thirty seconds. I

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: could make a hell of a good case that our

161
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: current education system is so corrupt and so evil, so

162
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: anti American ideology, soaked, that it must be torn down.

163
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: Because speaking of the important, over the urgent, over the

164
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: long term, that will bring about what Lincoln said was

165
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: the only way we fall apart as the republic.

166
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: And that's from within.

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: That is the one disease that can kill us as

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: a nation. So that must be our highest priority, sorting

169
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: out the horror the rot in our education system. But

170
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: I got distracted by the tariff talk right, proving your point? Yeah, yeah, exactly,

171
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: And then Joe mentioned the word fentanyl, or I mentioned

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: the word fentanyl. We might have a resolution in that

173
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: whole Kansas City Chiefs fans freezing to death and that

174
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: dude's backyard story that we talked so much about.

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, okay, So let's start the show. Officially. I'm

176
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it.

177
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: Is Thursday, March the sixth, the year twenty twenty five.

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Where I'm strong in getting we approved of this program.

179
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: Let's beak then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations,

180
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: here we go.

181
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna like this clip at Mark.

182
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: You don't care about this country, and that is unacceptable

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: if you claim to be the president of the United States.

184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: So we are here. We are not going anywhere. We

185
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: are going to continue to fight back, and we are

186
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: going to continue to speak lies to his truth, to

187
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: his stealing and to his cheating.

188
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: We are going to continue to speak lies to his truths.

189
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm meant to say. Oh darn it.

190
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: Can I get take two.

191
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: On that danga? That was my applause line. Shoot, that's disappointing.

192
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: That's just perfect.

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: We got Katie's headlines on the way, we got mail

194
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: bag later.

195
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: How about that statement China put out yesterday speaking of

196
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: there's too much news going on?

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, could you be more belligerent? Good lord?

198
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: Tell you what, Wennie the Pooh is a good deal

199
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: meaner than his namesake, bearer of childhood literature. We need

200
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: some sort of law where we deal with one thing

201
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: at a time. Let's handle the education thing. Then we'll

202
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: handle Israel Hamas, then we'll deal with China, then we'll

203
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: deal with whatever's next. Thing one thing at a ten

204
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: exactly one thing at a time. So all that's on

205
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: the way. Uh, Katie's headlines looking forward to that text

206
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: line four one, five two nine KFTC. Too many important

207
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: things going on at once. That is the theme of

208
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: the day. And then you add wooly mammoths to that,

209
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: it's crazy time. Sure, sure, just another layer of uncertainty,

210
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: right the markets react to the emergence of wooly mammoths. Now,

211
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: the wooly mammoth is close to the top of the

212
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: list of beasts I would revive from yesteryear dinosaurs, obviously,

213
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: but let's let's stay within like the last two hundred

214
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: thousand years, Katie nominee uh, any extinct beasts you'd like

215
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: to see. There used to be a gigantic rhinoceros that

216
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: roamed the plains of the United States, but that seems

217
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: unwise to me. Yeah, I should get my uh, I

218
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: should get my seventh grader on for this. He's just

219
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: fascinated by That's probably what he's gonna end up doing

220
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: in his life, is studying something like this. So he's

221
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: so into evolution and various periods of animal and human

222
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: development and stuff like that. But there was a period

223
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: of where everything was giant, and yeah, a lot of

224
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: those beasts would be cool just for the novelty, you know,

225
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: the giant thing.

226
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: Sure, so I have a tie between the dodo and

227
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: the sea cow.

228
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: The dodo so, but like the Dodo, I think the

229
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: dodo disappeared in the eighteen hundreds. Wooly mammoth is tens

230
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: of thousands of years. You start getting into dinosaurs. Now

231
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: you're looking at it hundreds of millions of years, and

232
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: that just seems crazy. The Dodo oft mentioned because it

233
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: was a recent extinction at the hands of mankind.

234
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: But why the sea cow? And what does the sea

235
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: cow offer us, Katie? It's fun to say, Okay, it

236
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: seems like a good insult in the right situation.

237
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: Too, do you sea cow? I think all that's unkind.

238
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: People of all body shapes should be able to enjoy

239
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: the beach. I'm violating my own rules, but it strikes

240
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: me that to bring back my people, the Neanderthal people,

241
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, so I to hang out with us.

242
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: That's tough, obviously, because then you got the whole human rights.

243
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Do you get to vote? Do you get to vote?

244
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: Many people believe the Neanderthals were more intelligent than you

245
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: will see Homo sapiens.

246
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: We just caught some disease.

247
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: It wiped us out, and so you're not going to

248
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: give us the right to my God, I'm going to

249
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: march on you and placards done. Hey, let's figure out

250
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green.

251
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: Katie starting with NBC. Trump warns that death awaits Hamas

252
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: leaders and gossins if hostages aren't immediately released.

253
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll have to read that whole post Joe mentioned

254
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: the other day. So I guess foreign policy comes out

255
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,119
Speaker 3: of tweets, now, Yeah, it does. Apparently, waits more statements,

256
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: whether it's Marco Rubio or the SEC death or the

257
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: President of the United States. So you get a lot

258
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,359
Speaker 3: of your major announcements from a tweet. But yeah, he

259
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: is fairly unequivocal in his threat.

260
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: ABC Russian strike kills four in Ukraine amid USAID and

261
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: intelligence freeze.

262
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: That's a tough one.

263
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I don't like it. Where's the hard

264
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: asked stuff against Putin? Maybe it's going on, Maybe it's

265
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: about to go on. I'd like to hear about it.

266
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: From the free beacon.

267
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 5: Biden awarded twenty eight million dollars to mysterious quote vaccine

268
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: company run by his COVID advisor and based out of

269
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 5: a Maryland po box.

270
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: There are more and more stories surfacing like that twenty

271
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: million dollars to a you know, green Justice for Communities

272
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: organization to get rid of lead pipes and reclaim wetlands.

273
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: These people have zero experience in either of those things. Yeah,

274
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: we got like asking me to build a football stadium.

275

Speaker 5: Three friends were found dead last year after watching a

279
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 5: Chiefs game. Now two men face charges in the case.

280
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: It's exactly what I said it was.

281
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: I'm the modern Sherlock Holmes, the American Sherlock Holmes. If

282
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: you will, I've figured this one out I figured out

283
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: o Gene Hackman as well.

284
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: I believe.

285
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: But so well, we'll talk about this more later. But

286
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: so if you have a party at your house and

287
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: you're supplying drugs, just like your friends supplied drugs. When

288
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: you go to their house, they have a plate of cocaine.

289
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: He had a plate of cocaine at his house and

290
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: people die from it. You're on the hook? Is that

291
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: the way it works, as is the drug dealer?

292
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

293
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 5: From the Washington Post, DC will paint over b l

294
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: M Plaza after GOP threatens funding.

00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Hooray, they're Marxists.

296
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: Why do we have a testament to AMR organization in

297
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: our nation's capital.

298
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: It's insane.

299
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: And even without that, the people who started it and

300
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: ran it stole the money and bought houses.

301
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: It just seems weird.

302
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: From the Hollywood Reporter, Fire Festival too quote does not exist,

303
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: Island Tourism Board claims we gotta talk about that later.

304
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: That is something.

305
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: Wow, one of the all time great scams and ongoing

306
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: conversation behind the scenes, that's the show, but let's bring

307
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: it in front of the scenes.

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It is so good.

309
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 5: And finally, the Babylon Bee husband holds up quote false

310
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: paddle during.

311
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: An argument with his wife, like the not the state

312
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: of the Union the other night. Hilarious, Oh my god,

313
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: wife steals.

314
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: Wow, it's not normal.

315
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: That would have gotten such huge laughs at the dinner

316
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: table last night if you're in the right sort of situation.

317
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: So they start talking to let me hold up a

318
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: ping pong paddle, it says false on it. You know,

319
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I've got a really, really elderly neighbor to I ought

320
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: to ask him next time Judy and I are arguing

321
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: to come over and shake his cane at her.

322
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: You have no mandate to tell Joe he can't play golf.

323
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: We got such a great example that will make you

324
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: so angry about your taxpayer money being stolen you'll ruin

325
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: your day.

326
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you stick around for that? It's coming

327
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: up next Armstrong and Getty.

328
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: Mister Musk, what was your message in there to House Republicans?

329
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: What was your message in there? You know there's a

330
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: lot of.

331
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: An of off trinity to improve experiences in the governor.

332
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: What did he say there?

333
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: Tan, there's a lot of room to what I gotta

334
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: understand him, mister Musk.

335
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 4: What was your message in there to House Republicans.

336
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: What was your message in there?

337
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 6: You know, there's a lot of room an of off

338
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 6: trinity to improve experishs in the govern experiences and expenditures.

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: I don't know anyways, I just wanted something Doge related

340
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: to get into this story. And we continue to be

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: amazed by the fact that at least half the country

342
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: is pushing back against government efficiency as a as a theme,

343
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 3: which is.

344
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: An elected bureaucrat.

345
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: Yes, and with all the caveats of yes, I realize

346
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: they're nibbling around the edges of the really big stuff

347
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: and everything like that. I don't want a dollar of

348
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: the money I'm earning today at work to be wasted

349
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: on crap or go into somebody's pocket just because they

350
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: know how.

351
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: To work the system.

352
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: To that, well, and it's worth of pointing out that

353
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: you and your neighborhood, whatever you consider that to be,

354
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: maybe it's like a four block area, six block area

355
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: with a school on one end of the park or whatever,

356
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 3: you and everybody in that neighborhood, every single time of

357
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: taxes you've ever paid and ever will pay, squandered and

358
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: given away by cronies.

359
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: Picture like that. Well, to that on this story.

360
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: It might be everybody in many small states whoever pay taxes,

361
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: it's all wasted with some of these ideas. So Barry

362
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 3: Weiss tweeted this out over the weekend. The Trump Department

363
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that

364
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: was part of Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction.

365
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: Act, which we all know.

366
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: We knew before it was even passed that it wasn't

367
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: actually about reducing inflation. It was one of the dumbest

368
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: poise of all time. Everybody knew what was going on,

369
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: but they continued calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. It

370
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: was seven hundred and forty billion dollars three quarters of

371
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 3: a trillion dollars, and it was basically the green New

372
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: Deal and just a slush fund for all kinds of crap,

373
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: as you're about to find out anyway, in particularly they're

374
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: in particularly in particularly, they're looking at this twenty seven

375
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: billion dollars that was in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,

376
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: which man check and see if you sigot your watch

377
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: in your wallet, if somebody tells you that I got

378
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: that going, what a name. It was created in the

379
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: spring of twenty twenty three and managed by the Environmental

380
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: Protection Agency. The fund was supposed to be a first

381
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: of its kind program to address the climate crisis while

382
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: revitalizing communities that it considered historically left behind.

383
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't win win.

384
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 3: I don't remember who it was I heard say this,

385
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: but it is absolutely true. If anybody ever hits you

386
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: with you know, it can save money and make the

387
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: world a better place. Hold onto your wallet. And that

388
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: has turned out to be true over and over again.

389
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: So this is gonna, you know, make the climate better

390
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 3: and revitalized communities historically left behind. Wow, it's amazing. It's

391
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: a you know, it's a dessert topping and a floor wax.

392
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: But it appears little of the twenty seven billion dollars

393
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: revitalized anything except the coffers of a range of environmental

394
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 3: nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

395
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: I'm cold. Twenty seven billion, Oh that's a lot of money.

396
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 3: The Biden administration used so called climate equity. Oh my god,

397
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: you talk about a phrase, hold onto your wallet climate

398
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: equity to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their

399
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 3: far left friends. The Trump administration's new EPA administrator, Lee Zelden,

400
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: told the financial press.

401
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: It is my utmost priority. I'm sorry, the free press.

402
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: It is my utmost priority to get a handle on

403
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: every dollar that went out the door in this scheme

404
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds.

405
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest

406
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: and corruption. Hard to imagine that that's true. A Free

407
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: Press investigation reveals that of the twenty seven billion, twenty

408
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: billion was rushed out the door to just eight nonprofit

409
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: groups after Biden lost to the election, but.

410
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: Before Trump took office.

411
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: As one former EPA official put it in a secretly

412
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: recorded video, it was akin to tossing gold bars off

413
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: the Titanic. The eight groups that were or put together

414
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: right after biden loss, we're allocated sums ranging from four

415
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: hundred million to six point nine billion. Several of them

416
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: were formed in August of twenty twenty three, just a

417
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: month after the grant applications went live in July of

418
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, when it became clear that the large

419
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: nine to ten figure grants would be up for grabs.

420
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: The boards and staff of these eights groups include Democratic donors,

421
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: people with connections to Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent

422
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: Democrats like Stacy Abrams. These are some of the biggest

423
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: grants to individual organizations.

424
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: In American history.

425
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: So basically, when you found out that Biden lost and

426
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: you got all that money sitting out there in the

427
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: New Green Deal, the Inflation Reduction Act, you and like

428
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: it'd be like Joe and Michael and I and I

429
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: get my kid and I don't know, some other friend

430
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: of mine together and we call ourselves the you know,

431
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: make the wetlands dryer or make the dry lands wetter

432
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: or whatever we're gonna go call Social Justice and Equity ammization. Yes, Yes,

433
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: to help the Native people's and black kids who can't read.

434
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: And we have no expertise in any of this sort

435
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: of stuff. We just put the group together. We don't

436
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: have any we don't have a building, we don't a charter,

437
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: we don't have anything. We just say, give us some

438
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: money because it's our friends. They say, okay, twenty billion

439
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: dollars for you, And really that's the end of the deal.

440
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: And then how you allocate it or spend it. Nobody's

441
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: paying attention to that, of course, Oh of course not.

442
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 3: You hand it out to enough cronies that you can

443
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: cover your tracks, you pay yourselves enormous salaries, you buy

444
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: all sorts of travel, in houses, and the rest of it.

445
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's horrific. And it's worth.

446
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: Pointing out that some of these smaller grants we're talking

447
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: about this this is you know, it's it's much discussed,

448
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: but it's worth repeating. I think that when you're talking

449
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: about such enormous amounts of money, when you get down

450
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: to like twenty million dollars, that surrounding error in this story,

451
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: and that is more money than most people will ever

452
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: see in their lives, their children's lives and their children

453
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: after that. Well, how about if you have an amount

454
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: like eighty thousand dollars, how easy would it be to

455
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: just send eighty thousand dollars to somebody you're friends with.

456
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: It'd be simple, oh, no, effortless. Yeah. Yeah.

457
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: And you've got this organization getting twenty billions of dollars, right, yeah, billions.

458
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: With a B.

459
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: So who's going to pay attention to you know, two

460
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty grand here, two hundred and fifty grand there,

461
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's it's well, it is graft.

462
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: It is theft.

463
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 3: It absolutely is absolutely theft of taxpayer funds on a

464
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: grand scale, and virtually nobody's paying attention to it, you know,

465
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 3: the Lester Holts of the world, who, granted don't have

466
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: any viewers anyway. The mainstream media is mostly dying, but

467
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: they're reporting like crazy on the latest snowstorm and whether

468
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 3: we're gonna have wooly mammoths as we were joking about before,

469
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: and who's mad at Trump and yelled something nasty at him?

470
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: And ignoring this.

471
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: So twenty billion dollars went out the door to just

472
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: eight nonprofit groups nonprofit which is one of the most

473
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: hilarious well please you femisms in the world.

474
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 7: And particularly after Biden lost, before Trump took office, and

475
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 7: some of these groups were put together right after the

476
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 7: grand applications went live, just well let's form a group.

477
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're up with this and down with that. Right. Yeah.

478
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: They existed to receive the money, and so that's the

479
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: only reason they existed, right And of the eight groups,

480
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: it ranged from four hundred million to six point nine

481
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: billion to.

482
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Add up to twenty billion dollars. I mean, it's just theft. Now.

483
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: What disturbs me the most is I think if you

484
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: could get these people to be completely honest, you know,

485
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: sodium pentathol or catch them on video or whatever. They'd say, Hey,

486
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: you child, this is the way it works. This is

487
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: the way it works in every administration for lots and

488
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: lots of people. It's been going on forever, It'll always

489
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: go on forever. Grow up, I think, is what they

490
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: might say. Yeah, well, I'd like to think the Republicans

491
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 3: are slightly less enthusiastic about making up fancify threats to

492
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: the world and all that. You know, there are some

493
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: who would say, you know, the military industrial complex, that's

494
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: what it is. You know, we get plenty of emails

495
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: how convenient Afghanistan ends and Ukraine starts, like Joe Biden

496
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 3: and Vladimir Putin and you know a dozen other world

497
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: leaders are in on it.

498
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Whatever.

499
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, well f you and FU to those people

500
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: who would claim that I want so desperately somebody, even

501
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: if it's got almighty after we're gone, to hold you

502
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: to account for stealing hardworking people's money, you know, speaking

503
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 3: of being angry at the end of this, which you know,

504
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for.

505
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: But people work really hard and long and.

506
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: Don't have the time to do the things they want

507
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: to do or be with the people they love because

508
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 3: they've got to earn enough money to get by. And

509
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: then the government steps in and says, yeah, yeah, we're

510
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: taking some of that for national defense and roads and

511
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: schools and that sort of thing, and we're taking a

512
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: substantial chunk of what you've just made. And then they

513
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: do that with the money. There ought to be revolution

514
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: in the streets.

515
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: That's the status quote, Joe, there really should be. I

516
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: mean the level of cynicism you have if you can

517
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: be involved in that and not like run.

518
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 3: To your local newspaper and say, hey, you wouldn't believe

519
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: what they're doing over here. I mean, you're so cynical

520
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: about the entire American project. And I don't know, I

521
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: don't know how you become a thief like that. I mean,

522
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: how do you not look around to the country and think,

523
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: you know, this is really wrong.

524
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of things. Because the other side of

525
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: I should.

526
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 3: Get to keep my money, you know you're wasting my

527
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 3: money is you're faced every single day, but there's not

528
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: enough money for this at your school or your hospital

529
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: or you know, whatever it is that you care about.

530
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: How about some of this money right right well in

531
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: their defense that money doesn't exist. They made it up

532
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: and borrowed it from our our grandchildren, our children and grandchildren,

533
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: and just increase the debt of the United States to

534
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: give it out to their cronies. So it's worse than

535
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: spending waste and giving away twenty billion dollars. It's twenty

536
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: billion dollars plus interest.

537
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: You're right. And how about this.

538
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: I have heard this on this show because I write

539
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: it over the weekend, I take in a ton of media.

540
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it anywhere else because there's just so

541
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: much going on.

542
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: And like you said, you know, there's snowstorms, and there's tariffs,

543
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: and there's wars, and there should be revolution in the streets.

544
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: It's not even most people that will never will ever

545
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 3: know that this even occurred, that this investigation is even

546
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: going on. That's the problem with the government being so big.

547
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: You can't keep track of it all. And only possible

548
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: power you have over this is to limit the amount

549
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: of money you give them.

550
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: It's the only power you have.

551
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: Yep, here's twenty million dollars for a group called Democracy

552
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: Green to replace lead pipes and revitalize wetlands. The two

553
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: people running it, Soandja and Lameshia Whittington. They've they've never

554
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: done anything in that realm before, but they got twenty

555
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: million dollars from the federal government.

556
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: Like I've said many times, audit to that never I.

557
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: Almost want to try to get in on this, just

558
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: like as a challenge to see if I could come

559
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: up with some fanciful sounding name, give myself a fanciful

560
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: sounding title about how we're gonna help you know, downtrodden

561
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: kids read and lower the temperatures and the greenhouse gases,

562
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: and maybe throw in another one fight Trump and you know,

563
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: now give me some money.

564
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: We got eight people on our board.

565
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: We work very hard, and we're where our board looks

566
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: like America. We got a Translatino and we got a.

567
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: One leg at yeah exactly. Oh my god.

568
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: Some of this stuff first of a kind program to

569
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: address climate crisis while write vitalizing communities that are considered

570
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: historically well, you can say that because you ain't gonna

571
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: do nothing. You've never even sat down and thought about

572
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: doing anything. Oh no, please please, we claim to do what.

573
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: That's funny.

574
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: One final note, and again, California was the leader in

575
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: this and it's spread across it well to the federal government.

576
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: You narrow the.

577
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Tax base as much as possible by claiming the rich

578
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: need to pay their fair share. And if you can

579
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: narrow the real tax base enough, they never they the

580
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: people who actually pay the bills never have enough votes

581
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: to overcome this sort of thing.

582
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: It's part of the strategy. Good point. If half of

583
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: people don't pay federal taxes, well then I don't care.

584
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: We got mail bag on the way.

585
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 5: Stay here an hour two.

586
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: We have to get to Trump's statement to Hamas and

587
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: China's statement to us, both pretty provocative.

588
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: Here's a statement for you. It's our freedom loving quote

589
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: of the day.

590
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: Continuing with our series from Theodore Roosevelt, sent along by

591
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: Michael and Haste tax Nebraska.

592
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Michael. There can be no divided allegiance here.

593
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: Any man who says he is an American but something

594
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: else also isn't an American at all. We have room

595
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: for but one flag, the American flag. We have room

596
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: for but one language here, and that is the English language.

597
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: And we have room for but one soul, loyalty, and

598
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 3: that is loyalty to the American people.

599
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: Hmm. That ain't popular or that that's Trumpian. I love it.

600
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's popular.

601
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: Damna Jacket's right mail bag, feel free to write mail

602
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: bag at Armstrong Yetty dot com is our email address.

603
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: Indiana Lloyd writes on the topic silence. He worked with

604
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: couples for years as a licensed family therapist. He said,

605
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: I always communicated to my clients the importance of noticing

606
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: thoughts and feelings.

607
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: It's amazing how often people are unaware.

608
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: Without experiencing daily times of silence, We're unable to acknowledge

609
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: those feelings and thoughts that mean so much to our

610
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: mental health. We're talking yesterday about silence and a great

611
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: quote from somebody or other who was it. I'm so

612
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: bad at remembering that sort of thing. The silence is

613
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: the gateway to the inner self.

614
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: How much the cs listen? How much less goes down time?

615
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: That's right.

616
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: How much less downtime does your brain get now than

617
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago pre smartphone?

618
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

619
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge difference and unhealthy in my mind for what

620
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: it's worth. You know, I'm no guru, but I'm just

621
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: one man. I intentionally spend significant amounts of time every

622
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: day alone with my own thoughts. As I put it,

623
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: walking my dog, you know, taking a walk doing whatever,

624
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: just your community service picking up trash exactly. Yeah, well

625
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,400
