WEBVTT - Some Really Hairy Mice

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Jetty and he Armsrong live from the studio.

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 2>See see sor a.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and.

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Getty Communications Compound.

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 3>It's Thursday, Array and today we're under the tutelage of

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 3>our general manager. Surprise general manager. Today it was going

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 3>to be free Frank parts of Germany, but he was

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 3>hedged out at the wire by woolly mammoths. I don't

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>know if I've ever been as excited about anything as

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I am about this only mammoth story.

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you they're gonna be I get it.

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna see herds of wool or pods or murders

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>or whatever they call them, a wooly mammoths just greening

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>across the landscape in a meadow near you any minute now.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 3>So somebody's claiming they're gonna have them back by twenty

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 3>eight and they will release some bacteria or something into

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 3>the world that we haven't had in ten thousand years,

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 3>and will all be dead within a week most likely, Yes,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 3>But so scientists involved in the effort Jack again, as

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you said, making some really bold predictions of wooly mammoths

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>being successfully cloned and produced by the year twenty twenty eight.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 3>The major breakthrough just this week they've managed to produce

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>some really hairy mice.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, that's a step in the right direction. I

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>guess it.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Seems to me like the AI thing, where at least

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>AI there's well, I guess in both cases there's upside.

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 3>The upside for the wooly mammoth is just wouldn't it

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 3>be cool to see a wooly mammoth?

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Right? That's the whole upside?

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh sure, Upliving the wooly mammoth would be amazing. Are

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>they delicious or something? Is there something else we don't know?

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Or their their fur is the softest You wait till

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>you have a jacket made from wly mammoth. You have

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 3>no idea something like that, But I about to say

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 3>it's are already plenty soft. It reminds me about the AI,

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 3>where all kinds of people worn of the possible downsides.

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 3>Yet do we keep pushing that direction no matter what.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 3>If there's no there's no We're gonna do it. We're

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna bring back species that have been dead forever. There's

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 3>just no snopanists. So I know everybody, all ethicists and

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 3>scientists are saying, could be a downside, but whatever, you

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 3>gotta do it if you can. Two points number one,

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 3>these folks who are you know, behind this effort maintained

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 3>that because biodiversity is vanishing from the globe and beasts

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 3>are going extinct because of you know, the explosion of

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>mankind of the globe, that we need to have the

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 3>means by which to bring back extinct species in case

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 3>we accidentally snuff them out. Seems like a good argument.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 3>On the other hand, these people who I tell you

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>what I give you ten to one, they're convicted of

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 3>some sort of fraud at some point. There's you know,

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>they're not going to I can't remember what my second

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 3>point was, but and we'll bring you the report and

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 3>have some more comment on it later, but it just

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>doesn't ring true to me. Well, it's gonna be like

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>you hear these stories around the world where they brought

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 3>in a certain kind of mouse to eat the ants

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>that were causing problems, and then you had to bring

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 3>in a cat eat the mice.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And then you had to bring it.

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 3>So are we gonna have to bring in pterodactyls to

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>thin out the wooly mammoths as they start to overrun cities?

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 3>And then it just keeps going from there. And if

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>we had wily mammoths back then, what as you say? Yeah, yeah,

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 3>it might be a one time visit for every person

0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 3>in their whole lives.

0:03:59.360 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I saw wily mammoth anyway, it was something. It was

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 3>like an elephant. But really, Harry, you don't say, you know,

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't say, I hope this isn't like when China

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>dresses up an animal and says, hey, this is a

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 3>new animal.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just a dog with like you know, especially, I

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>just think that'd be safer.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Let's just shave a chow and put it next to

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 3>a tiny car to give it weird perspective.

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>And I call it a wooly mammoth. Good enough for me.

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Come on, you know, I was actually thinking.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Looking over all the headlines of the day. There there

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 3>are so many things going on that a lot of

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>my favorite things I want I would like to have

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 3>national discussions about are getting.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Lost in the mix, like this school thing.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 3>So Trump announces yesterday he wants to do away with

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Education, and today he's gonna sign an

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 3>executive order something like that, and it's gonna be very

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 3>complicated and difficult, But it's just it's just like eleventh

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>on the list of big things things going on, and

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 3>I just I don't think it's getting the full because

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 3>I would love it if we had a big national

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 3>battle over how much do we need public schools in

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 3>their current form?

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Who's happy with things that's writing?

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Certainly the current what do you call it the flow

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>chart of management? Who you know is in charge of

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>what policy and to what extent should the federal government

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 3>be involved at all. It's an interesting discussion. I'm reminded

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 3>of something my sainted mother taught.

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure it was my mom who first introduced

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 3>to me that the idea of constantly responding to the

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 3>urgent at the cost of the important. And I think

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>that's what we do often in the national conversation.

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, you know, for instance, Trump announced yesterday

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 3>we'll read his post a little bit later, but he

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 3>threatened a mass Now release them all now, or hell

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 3>is gonna come. Okay, Well, that's a pretty big story,

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 3>and that's urgent and important, but it certainly obliterates any

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 3>conversation about that. And you know that whole tariff thing.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 3>He backed off that. Soone, okay, I'll give you till

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 3>whenever it is April now on the whole cars thing.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Because the major carmakers in the United States, GM, Ford

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>and what's the other one, Stilantis THATTT represents who Chrysler, Dodge,

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Gee in a half a dozen other brands. It's a

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 3>giant global conglomerate that owns a bunch of stuff.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that name. Anyway. The leaders for.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 3>I'll drop of a note and ask them to change it.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 3>What can I change it back to something I've heard of.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 3>The leaders of the big carmakers went to Trump said

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 3>he can't do this. I mean, this is gonna kill us.

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 3>And he basically said, well, then move your plants to

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 3>the United States. You know, I'll give you a till.

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's April first, isn't it, uh April Seltom's right, yeah, yeah,

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I need to see some evidence that

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>you're really really working at trying to bring your plants

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 3>back to the United States or the tariffs happened.

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that's a pretty big thing economically.

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and the whole president having carte blanche to because

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>a tariff is a tax, it's an import tax, and

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 3>for the president to have the unilateral power to tax

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 3>as he sees fit based on criteria he sets. I'm

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>not comfortable with that because you know, maybe Trump's your guy,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe is not, but your guys in office one day,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>they're guys in office the next day, or presume it

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>could be a woman, I'm told, and then you know,

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 3>God knows what sort of you know, I could see

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Senile Biden, who really didn't do anything. His advisors pulled

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>the strings of his decreasingly decrepit puppet form. But they

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 3>could insist that, all right, we're going to put a

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 3>twenty percent duty on anybody. I said, duty on anybody

0:07:55.360 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 3>who does not completely conform with the green energy hope.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, woke garbage absolutely could have done that. We

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>have an emergency in our transgender community.

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Therefore, if you don't say a man is a woman

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 3>just because he says he's a woman, twenty five percent

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 3>tariff on your goods, and I just I'm uncomfortable with

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. Yeah, it is interesting for the president

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 3>to have that level of instantaneous solo power nower of taxation,

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>which if I recall from the Constitution as well, I

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 3>think we all know the end of that.

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's why you have to go with the whole

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>emergency thing.

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 3>It's about the fentanyl, oh kay, which I was going

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 3>to say, proving your point. Just to go back to

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 3>your original point, I could give you thirty seconds. I

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>could make a hell of a good case that our

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 3>current education system is so corrupt and so evil, so

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>anti American ideology, soaked, that it must be torn down.

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Because speaking of the important, over the urgent, over the

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 3>long term, that will bring about what Lincoln said was

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 3>the only way we fall apart as the republic.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's from within.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>That is the one disease that can kill us as

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 3>a nation. So that must be our highest priority, sorting

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 3>out the horror the rot in our education system. But

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 3>I got distracted by the tariff talk right, proving your point? Yeah, yeah, exactly,

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 3>And then Joe mentioned the word fentanyl, or I mentioned

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 3>the word fentanyl. We might have a resolution in that

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 3>whole Kansas City Chiefs fans freezing to death and that

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 3>dude's backyard story that we talked so much about.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, okay, So let's start the show. Officially. I'm

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Is Thursday, March the sixth, the year twenty twenty five.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Where I'm strong in getting we approved of this program.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's beak then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations,

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 3>here we go.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna like this clip at Mark.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 4>You don't care about this country, and that is unacceptable

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 4>if you claim to be the president of the United States.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 4>So we are here. We are not going anywhere. We

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 4>are going to continue to fight back, and we are

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 4>going to continue to speak lies to his truth, to

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 4>his stealing and to his cheating.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 1>We are going to continue to speak lies to his truths.

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I'm meant to say. Oh darn it.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Can I get take two.

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 3>On that danga? That was my applause line. Shoot, that's disappointing.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 3>That's just perfect.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>We got Katie's headlines on the way, we got mail

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>bag later.

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>How about that statement China put out yesterday speaking of

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 3>there's too much news going on?

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, could you be more belligerent? Good lord?

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Tell you what, Wennie the Pooh is a good deal

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 3>meaner than his namesake, bearer of childhood literature. We need

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 3>some sort of law where we deal with one thing

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 3>at a time. Let's handle the education thing. Then we'll

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 3>handle Israel Hamas, then we'll deal with China, then we'll

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 3>deal with whatever's next. Thing one thing at a ten

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 3>exactly one thing at a time. So all that's on

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the way. Uh, Katie's headlines looking forward to that text

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 3>line four one, five two nine KFTC. Too many important

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 3>things going on at once. That is the theme of

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>the day. And then you add wooly mammoths to that,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 3>it's crazy time. Sure, sure, just another layer of uncertainty,

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 3>right the markets react to the emergence of wooly mammoths. Now,

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>the wooly mammoth is close to the top of the

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 3>list of beasts I would revive from yesteryear dinosaurs, obviously,

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 3>but let's let's stay within like the last two hundred

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>thousand years, Katie nominee uh, any extinct beasts you'd like

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>to see. There used to be a gigantic rhinoceros that

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 3>roamed the plains of the United States, but that seems

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 3>unwise to me. Yeah, I should get my uh, I

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 3>should get my seventh grader on for this. He's just

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 3>fascinated by That's probably what he's gonna end up doing

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 3>in his life, is studying something like this. So he's

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>so into evolution and various periods of animal and human

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 3>development and stuff like that. But there was a period

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 3>of where everything was giant, and yeah, a lot of

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 3>those beasts would be cool just for the novelty, you know,

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 3>the giant thing.

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 5>Sure, so I have a tie between the dodo and

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 5>the sea cow.

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 3>The dodo so, but like the Dodo, I think the

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 3>dodo disappeared in the eighteen hundreds. Wooly mammoth is tens

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 3>of thousands of years. You start getting into dinosaurs. Now

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at it hundreds of millions of years, and

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 3>that just seems crazy. The Dodo oft mentioned because it

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 3>was a recent extinction at the hands of mankind.

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But why the sea cow? And what does the sea

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.839
<v Speaker 1>cow offer us, Katie? It's fun to say, Okay, it

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like a good insult in the right situation.

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Too, do you sea cow? I think all that's unkind.

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 3>People of all body shapes should be able to enjoy

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 3>the beach. I'm violating my own rules, but it strikes

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 3>me that to bring back my people, the Neanderthal people,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, Yeah, so I to hang out with us.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 3>That's tough, obviously, because then you got the whole human rights.

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you get to vote? Do you get to vote?

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Many people believe the Neanderthals were more intelligent than you

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.319
<v Speaker 3>will see Homo sapiens.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We just caught some disease.

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 3>It wiped us out, and so you're not going to

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 3>give us the right to my God, I'm going to

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>march on you and placards done. Hey, let's figure out

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 3>who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 5>Katie starting with NBC. Trump warns that death awaits Hamas

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 5>leaders and gossins if hostages aren't immediately released.

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll have to read that whole post Joe mentioned

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 3>the other day. So I guess foreign policy comes out

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:54.119
<v Speaker 3>of tweets, now, Yeah, it does. Apparently, waits more statements,

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.079
<v Speaker 3>whether it's Marco Rubio or the SEC death or the

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 3>President of the United States. So you get a lot

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.359
<v Speaker 3>of your major announcements from a tweet. But yeah, he

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>is fairly unequivocal in his threat.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 5>ABC Russian strike kills four in Ukraine amid USAID and

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 5>intelligence freeze.

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough one.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't I don't like it. Where's the hard

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 3>asked stuff against Putin? Maybe it's going on, Maybe it's

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 3>about to go on. I'd like to hear about it.

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>From the free beacon.

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Biden awarded twenty eight million dollars to mysterious quote vaccine

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 5>company run by his COVID advisor and based out of

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 5>a Maryland po box.

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 3>There are more and more stories surfacing like that twenty

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 3>million dollars to a you know, green Justice for Communities

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 3>organization to get rid of lead pipes and reclaim wetlands.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 3>These people have zero experience in either of those things. Yeah,

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 3>we got like asking me to build a football stadium.

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 3>The Justice Department is investigat a whole bunch of green

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>new deal craft that we can tell you about.

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Coming up from CNN.

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 5>Three friends were found dead last year after watching a

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 5>Chiefs game. Now two men face charges in the case.

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>It's exactly what I said it was.

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm the modern Sherlock Holmes, the American Sherlock Holmes. If

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 3>you will, I've figured this one out I figured out

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 3>o Gene Hackman as well.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe.

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 3>But so well, we'll talk about this more later. But

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 3>so if you have a party at your house and

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 3>you're supplying drugs, just like your friends supplied drugs. When

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 3>you go to their house, they have a plate of cocaine.

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 3>He had a plate of cocaine at his house and

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 3>people die from it. You're on the hook? Is that

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 3>the way it works, as is the drug dealer?

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 5>From the Washington Post, DC will paint over b l

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 5>M Plaza after GOP threatens funding.

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Hooray, they're Marxists.

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have a testament to AMR organization in

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 3>our nation's capital.

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It's insane.

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 3>And even without that, the people who started it and

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 3>ran it stole the money and bought houses.

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It just seems weird.

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 5>From the Hollywood Reporter, Fire Festival too quote does not exist,

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 5>Island Tourism Board claims we gotta talk about that later.

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>That is something.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Wow, one of the all time great scams and ongoing

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 3>conversation behind the scenes, that's the show, but let's bring

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 3>it in front of the scenes.

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. It is so good.

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 5>And finally, the Babylon Bee husband holds up quote false

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 5>paddle during.

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 3>An argument with his wife, like the not the state

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 3>of the Union the other night. Hilarious, Oh my god,

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 3>wife steals.

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's not normal.

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 3>That would have gotten such huge laughs at the dinner

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 3>table last night if you're in the right sort of situation.

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 3>So they start talking to let me hold up a

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 3>ping pong paddle, it says false on it. You know,

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 3>I've got a really, really elderly neighbor to I ought

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 3>to ask him next time Judy and I are arguing

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 3>to come over and shake his cane at her.

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You have no mandate to tell Joe he can't play golf.

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 3>We got such a great example that will make you

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 3>so angry about your taxpayer money being stolen you'll ruin

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 3>your day.

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So why wouldn't you stick around for that? It's coming

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.119
<v Speaker 1>up next Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Mister Musk, what was your message in there to House Republicans?

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>What was your message in there? You know there's a

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 6>An of off trinity to improve experiences in the governor.

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>What did he say there?

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Tan, there's a lot of room to what I gotta

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 3>understand him, mister Musk.

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 4>What was your message in there to House Republicans.

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>What was your message in there?

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's a lot of room an of off

0:17:54.720 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 6>trinity to improve experishs in the govern experiences and expenditures.

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know anyways, I just wanted something Doge related

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 3>to get into this story. And we continue to be

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 3>amazed by the fact that at least half the country

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 3>is pushing back against government efficiency as a as a theme,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 3>which is.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>An elected bureaucrat.

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and with all the caveats of yes, I realize

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 3>they're nibbling around the edges of the really big stuff

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.439
<v Speaker 3>and everything like that. I don't want a dollar of

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 3>the money I'm earning today at work to be wasted

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.159
<v Speaker 3>on crap or go into somebody's pocket just because they

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 3>know how.

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:38.199
<v Speaker 1>To work the system.

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 3>To that, well, and it's worth of pointing out that

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 3>you and your neighborhood, whatever you consider that to be,

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's like a four block area, six block area

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 3>with a school on one end of the park or whatever,

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 3>you and everybody in that neighborhood, every single time of

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 3>taxes you've ever paid and ever will pay, squandered and

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 3>given away by cronies.

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Picture like that. Well, to that on this story.

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 3>It might be everybody in many small states whoever pay taxes,

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 3>it's all wasted with some of these ideas. So Barry

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Weiss tweeted this out over the weekend. The Trump Department

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 3>of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 3>was part of Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction.

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Act, which we all know.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 3>We knew before it was even passed that it wasn't

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 3>actually about reducing inflation. It was one of the dumbest

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 3>poise of all time. Everybody knew what was going on,

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 3>but they continued calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. It

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 3>was seven hundred and forty billion dollars three quarters of

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 3>a trillion dollars, and it was basically the green New

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Deal and just a slush fund for all kinds of crap,

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 3>as you're about to find out anyway, in particularly they're

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 3>in particularly in particularly, they're looking at this twenty seven

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars that was in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 3>which man check and see if you sigot your watch

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 3>in your wallet, if somebody tells you that I got

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 3>that going, what a name. It was created in the

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 3>spring of twenty twenty three and managed by the Environmental

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Protection Agency. The fund was supposed to be a first

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 3>of its kind program to address the climate crisis while

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 3>revitalizing communities that it considered historically left behind.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't win win.

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember who it was I heard say this,

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 3>but it is absolutely true. If anybody ever hits you

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 3>with you know, it can save money and make the

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.199
<v Speaker 3>world a better place. Hold onto your wallet. And that

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 3>has turned out to be true over and over again.

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 3>So this is gonna, you know, make the climate better

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.160
<v Speaker 3>and revitalized communities historically left behind. Wow, it's amazing. It's

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 3>a you know, it's a dessert topping and a floor wax.

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 3>But it appears little of the twenty seven billion dollars

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.879
<v Speaker 3>revitalized anything except the coffers of a range of environmental

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 3>nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm cold. Twenty seven billion, Oh that's a lot of money.

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 3>The Biden administration used so called climate equity. Oh my god,

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>you talk about a phrase, hold onto your wallet climate

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 3>equity to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:16.360
<v Speaker 3>far left friends. The Trump administration's new EPA administrator, Lee Zelden,

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 3>told the financial press.

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 1>It is my utmost priority. I'm sorry, the free press.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>It is my utmost priority to get a handle on

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 3>every dollar that went out the door in this scheme

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 3>and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds.

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 3>This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 3>and corruption. Hard to imagine that that's true. A Free

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Press investigation reveals that of the twenty seven billion, twenty

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 3>billion was rushed out the door to just eight nonprofit

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 3>groups after Biden lost to the election, but.

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Before Trump took office.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 3>As one former EPA official put it in a secretly

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 3>recorded video, it was akin to tossing gold bars off

0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 3>the Titanic. The eight groups that were or put together

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 3>right after biden loss, we're allocated sums ranging from four

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 3>hundred million to six point nine billion. Several of them

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 3>were formed in August of twenty twenty three, just a

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 3>month after the grant applications went live in July of

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three, when it became clear that the large

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 3>nine to ten figure grants would be up for grabs.

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 3>The boards and staff of these eights groups include Democratic donors,

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 3>people with connections to Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Democrats like Stacy Abrams. These are some of the biggest

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 3>grants to individual organizations.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>In American history.

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 3>So basically, when you found out that Biden lost and

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 3>you got all that money sitting out there in the

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 3>New Green Deal, the Inflation Reduction Act, you and like

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 3>it'd be like Joe and Michael and I and I

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 3>get my kid and I don't know, some other friend

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 3>of mine together and we call ourselves the you know,

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 3>make the wetlands dryer or make the dry lands wetter

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 3>or whatever we're gonna go call Social Justice and Equity ammization. Yes, Yes,

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 3>to help the Native people's and black kids who can't read.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 3>And we have no expertise in any of this sort

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.200
<v Speaker 3>of stuff. We just put the group together. We don't

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 3>have any we don't have a building, we don't a charter,

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 3>we don't have anything. We just say, give us some

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 3>money because it's our friends. They say, okay, twenty billion

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 3>dollars for you, And really that's the end of the deal.

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 3>And then how you allocate it or spend it. Nobody's

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.800
<v Speaker 3>paying attention to that, of course, Oh of course not.

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:23.719
<v Speaker 3>You hand it out to enough cronies that you can

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 3>cover your tracks, you pay yourselves enormous salaries, you buy

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 3>all sorts of travel, in houses, and the rest of it.

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's horrific. And it's worth.

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Pointing out that some of these smaller grants we're talking

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 3>about this this is you know, it's it's much discussed,

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 3>but it's worth repeating. I think that when you're talking

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 3>about such enormous amounts of money, when you get down

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 3>to like twenty million dollars, that surrounding error in this story,

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 3>and that is more money than most people will ever

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 3>see in their lives, their children's lives and their children

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 3>after that. Well, how about if you have an amount

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 3>like eighty thousand dollars, how easy would it be to

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 3>just send eighty thousand dollars to somebody you're friends with.

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.160
<v Speaker 1>It'd be simple, oh, no, effortless. Yeah. Yeah.

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 3>And you've got this organization getting twenty billions of dollars, right, yeah, billions.

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>With a B.

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 3>So who's going to pay attention to you know, two

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty grand here, two hundred and fifty grand there,

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, it's it's well, it is graft.

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It is theft.

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 3>It absolutely is absolutely theft of taxpayer funds on a

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 3>grand scale, and virtually nobody's paying attention to it, you know,

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.919
<v Speaker 3>the Lester Holts of the world, who, granted don't have

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 3>any viewers anyway. The mainstream media is mostly dying, but

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 3>they're reporting like crazy on the latest snowstorm and whether

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna have wooly mammoths as we were joking about before,

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:47.920
<v Speaker 3>and who's mad at Trump and yelled something nasty at him?

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And ignoring this.

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 3>So twenty billion dollars went out the door to just

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 3>eight nonprofit groups nonprofit which is one of the most

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 3>hilarious well please you femisms in the world.

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 7>And particularly after Biden lost, before Trump took office, and

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 7>some of these groups were put together right after the

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 7>grand applications went live, just well let's form a group.

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're we're up with this and down with that. Right. Yeah.

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 3>They existed to receive the money, and so that's the

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 3>only reason they existed, right And of the eight groups,

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 3>it ranged from four hundred million to six point nine

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 3>billion to.

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Add up to twenty billion dollars. I mean, it's just theft. Now.

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 3>What disturbs me the most is I think if you

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 3>could get these people to be completely honest, you know,

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 3>sodium pentathol or catch them on video or whatever. They'd say, Hey,

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 3>you child, this is the way it works. This is

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 3>the way it works in every administration for lots and

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 3>lots of people. It's been going on forever, It'll always

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 3>go on forever. Grow up, I think, is what they

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 3>might say. Yeah, well, I'd like to think the Republicans

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 3>are slightly less enthusiastic about making up fancify threats to

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 3>the world and all that. You know, there are some

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 3>who would say, you know, the military industrial complex, that's

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 3>what it is. You know, we get plenty of emails

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 3>how convenient Afghanistan ends and Ukraine starts, like Joe Biden

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:18.360
<v Speaker 3>and Vladimir Putin and you know a dozen other world

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 3>leaders are in on it.

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:25.120
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, well f you and FU to those people

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 3>who would claim that I want so desperately somebody, even

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.639
<v Speaker 3>if it's got almighty after we're gone, to hold you

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 3>to account for stealing hardworking people's money, you know, speaking

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 3>of being angry at the end of this, which you know,

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry for.

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>But people work really hard and long and.

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't have the time to do the things they want

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 3>to do or be with the people they love because

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.679
<v Speaker 3>they've got to earn enough money to get by. And

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 3>then the government steps in and says, yeah, yeah, we're

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 3>taking some of that for national defense and roads and

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 3>schools and that sort of thing, and we're taking a

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 3>substantial chunk of what you've just made. And then they

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 3>do that with the money. There ought to be revolution

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 3>in the streets.

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the status quote, Joe, there really should be. I

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>mean the level of cynicism you have if you can

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>be involved in that and not like run.

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.400
<v Speaker 3>To your local newspaper and say, hey, you wouldn't believe

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 3>what they're doing over here. I mean, you're so cynical

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 3>about the entire American project. And I don't know, I

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know how you become a thief like that. I mean,

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.120
<v Speaker 3>how do you not look around to the country and think,

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, this is really wrong.

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.119
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds of things. Because the other side of

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I should.

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Get to keep my money, you know you're wasting my

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 3>money is you're faced every single day, but there's not

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 3>enough money for this at your school or your hospital

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:48.399
<v Speaker 3>or you know, whatever it is that you care about.

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 3>How about some of this money right right well in

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 3>their defense that money doesn't exist. They made it up

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 3>and borrowed it from our our grandchildren, our children and grandchildren,

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and just increase the debt of the United States to

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 3>give it out to their cronies. So it's worse than

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 3>spending waste and giving away twenty billion dollars. It's twenty

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars plus interest.

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 1>You're right. And how about this.

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I have heard this on this show because I write

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 3>it over the weekend, I take in a ton of media.

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.159
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard it anywhere else because there's just so

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>much going on.

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 3>And like you said, you know, there's snowstorms, and there's tariffs,

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 3>and there's wars, and there should be revolution in the streets.

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 3>It's not even most people that will never will ever

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.640
<v Speaker 3>know that this even occurred, that this investigation is even

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 3>going on. That's the problem with the government being so big.

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 3>You can't keep track of it all. And only possible

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 3>power you have over this is to limit the amount

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 3>of money you give them.

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the only power you have.

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Yep, here's twenty million dollars for a group called Democracy

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Green to replace lead pipes and revitalize wetlands. The two

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 3>people running it, Soandja and Lameshia Whittington. They've they've never

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 3>done anything in that realm before, but they got twenty

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 3>million dollars from the federal government.

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I've said many times, audit to that never I.

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Almost want to try to get in on this, just

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 3>like as a challenge to see if I could come

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 3>up with some fanciful sounding name, give myself a fanciful

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 3>sounding title about how we're gonna help you know, downtrodden

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 3>kids read and lower the temperatures and the greenhouse gases,

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:34.360
<v Speaker 3>and maybe throw in another one fight Trump and you know,

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 3>now give me some money.

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 1>We got eight people on our board.

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 3>We work very hard, and we're where our board looks

0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 3>like America. We got a Translatino and we got a.

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>One leg at yeah exactly. Oh my god.

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Some of this stuff first of a kind program to

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 3>address climate crisis while write vitalizing communities that are considered

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 3>historically well, you can say that because you ain't gonna

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 3>do nothing. You've never even sat down and thought about

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 3>doing anything. Oh no, please please, we claim to do what.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>That's funny.

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 3>One final note, and again, California was the leader in

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 3>this and it's spread across it well to the federal government.

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 1>You narrow the.

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Tax base as much as possible by claiming the rich

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 3>need to pay their fair share. And if you can

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 3>narrow the real tax base enough, they never they the

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 3>people who actually pay the bills never have enough votes

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 3>to overcome this sort of thing.

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It's part of the strategy. Good point. If half of

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>people don't pay federal taxes, well then I don't care.

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>We got mail bag on the way.

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 5>Stay here an hour two.

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 3>We have to get to Trump's statement to Hamas and

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 3>China's statement to us, both pretty provocative.

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's a statement for you. It's our freedom loving quote

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 1>of the day.

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Continuing with our series from Theodore Roosevelt, sent along by

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Michael and Haste tax Nebraska.

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Michael. There can be no divided allegiance here.

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Any man who says he is an American but something

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 3>else also isn't an American at all. We have room

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 3>for but one flag, the American flag. We have room

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 3>for but one language here, and that is the English language.

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 3>And we have room for but one soul, loyalty, and

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.479
<v Speaker 3>that is loyalty to the American people.

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Hmm. That ain't popular or that that's Trumpian. I love it.

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if it's popular.

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Damna Jacket's right mail bag, feel free to write mail

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 3>bag at Armstrong Yetty dot com is our email address.

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Indiana Lloyd writes on the topic silence. He worked with

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 3>couples for years as a licensed family therapist. He said,

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I always communicated to my clients the importance of noticing

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 3>thoughts and feelings.

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing how often people are unaware.

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Without experiencing daily times of silence, We're unable to acknowledge

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 3>those feelings and thoughts that mean so much to our

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 3>mental health. We're talking yesterday about silence and a great

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 3>quote from somebody or other who was it. I'm so

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 3>bad at remembering that sort of thing. The silence is

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 3>the gateway to the inner self.

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>How much the cs listen? How much less goes down time?

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 3>How much less downtime does your brain get now than

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years ago pre smartphone?

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, huge difference and unhealthy in my mind for what

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 3>it's worth. You know, I'm no guru, but I'm just

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 3>one man. I intentionally spend significant amounts of time every

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 3>day alone with my own thoughts. As I put it,

0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 3>walking my dog, you know, taking a walk doing whatever,

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 3>just your community service picking up trash exactly. Yeah, well

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.400
<v Speaker 3>the judge she said it would anyway. Let's see moving along.

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Bong hits for Jesus frequent correspondent. I can't help the

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 3>guys sign off, folks, he writes. Guys, those DEI groups

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 3>are calling for a forty day boycott of Target for

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.240
<v Speaker 3>their pulling back on DEI practices.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Target executives have to.

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Be absolutely giddy over the upcoming reduction and shoplifting. Ah

0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 3>ouch that punch landed speing of witch. Loyal listener writes, guys,

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Joe was highly amused by an elderly gentleman yelling at

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 3>non existent clouds. Jack made barbaric allusions to releasing lions

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 3>into the halls of Congress during.

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>The State of the Union.

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Addressing Barbie, Mike Langelow offered only millennial antics, TikTok challenges

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 3>and such to appease the amasses. Silliness, pure silliness, I say,

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 3>of course, I would not be averse to AOC and

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Marjorie Taylor Green in a Foxy boxing bout. If it

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 3>is refereed by Kirsten Cinema.

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd watch it. Wow.

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Kirsten cinema who was you know, goes both ways, both

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 3>romantically and politically speaking.

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>The moderate.

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thanks for that note, loyal. How about this from

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Eric in Beautiful Astoria, Oregon. Guys, listen to your One

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Last Thing podcast and the Corus Skating conversation regarding cannibalism.

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Anybody got the slightest idea what course skating means?

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.720
<v Speaker 1>No, Katie? Do you have time to look that up? Anyway?

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:18.719
