1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will perform at 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying maybe when 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: asked about it, referring questions to jay Z, the show's producer, 7 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 3: Stay tuned. 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 4: I love that David Vier uses as serious foot I know, stuff. 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: Like using the same voice as he uses for hamas Israel. 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: Talk about Taylor Swift, whether or not she'll be the 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: super Bowl. I like the way Goodell handlet Yes, she 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: could be. I don't know. Jay Z's producing, that's him. 13 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: The super Bowl is this year, seventy miles from my 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: house at Levi Stadium. I'm gonna go commit to going 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: no matter who's in it, because I've never been to 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: a super Bowl, and I've always wanted to have the 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: experience just to talk about, like on the show and 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: everything like that. So I'm going to commit to going 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: this year. I love that idea great idea. One way 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: or another, I'm gonna figure it out. Speaking of the NFL. 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: Why are the Eagles so good and have stayed good 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: and are going to be great again this year? 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: It's because then a counting trick we can tell you about. 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: And with the season starting tonight, who does Vegas think 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: are the best locks for being in the Super Bowl? 26 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: We'll hate you with those odds. Excellent. So I came 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: across the Wall Street Journal's editorial board writing about, as 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: the headline puts it, Trump's gun boat war on drugs, 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: the blowing up of that Narco boat and it's eleven 30 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: crew members the other day, and we were talking about 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: it yesterday in case you missed it, and how it's 32 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: interesting as his maneuvers go, because you know, there's not 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: the death penalty for transporting drugs, but we blew that 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: boat out of the water. And before we get to 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, let's see a couple of notes. 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: First of all, listen, let me throw in a couple 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: of the facts from Marco Rubio that might be helpful 38 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: before the people start replying to what happened. Secretary Start 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: Market Groupe, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. We're not in 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: a hurry. We have four hours. I don't have to 41 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: fit all the words into one sentence in one second. 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio said yesterday that Trump chose to destroy it. 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: We could have arrested him, but Trump decided to instead 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: of interdicting it on the president's orders. We blew it 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: up and it'll happen again. Rubio said yesterday, Ah, interesting, Yeah, 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: and he said that the vessel, like others carrying drugs, 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: posed an immediate threat to the United States, which gave 48 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: the United States the right to destroy it. The president 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: has a right to eliminate immediate threats to our country. 50 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: The President's not a talker, he's a doer, and he's 51 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: going to do it. Rubio argued the strike was justified 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: because use anytime we just stopped stopped drug smuggling boats, 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: it yields in sufficient results. It hasn't worked Cartel's factor 54 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: in a two percent loss from interdictions, he said, arguing 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: that drug seizures won't stop them. What will stop them 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: is if you blow them up. The president, the president 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: is going to wage war on narco terrorist organizations. 58 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 4: I need to get that on a T shirt. What 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: will stop them is if you blow them up. Yeah, 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'd buy all of his argument. There 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: are flaws there and assumptions, but I like the maneuver, 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: and I thought I didn't know what the Wall Street 63 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: Journal board, which side of this they would weigh in on. 64 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: And I was very very curious in reading it. 65 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 4: And long story short is they're like, yeah, it's kind 66 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: of interesting. For the reasons we mentioned, you could go 67 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: aboard for search and seizure, making arrest for a trial 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: little later date. 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: That's the way civilized countries do things, to mister Trump's critics, 70 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: but Venezuelan coppos don't follow the Marcus of Queensbury rules, 71 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: and the US does not have to refrain from sending 72 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: them a more convincing kinetic message. Wow. And speaking of 73 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: facts that ought to be known, they point out that 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: in Venezuela, the transnational criminal cartels, in their range of 75 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: grizzly businesses which include kidnapping, extortion, human trafficking, and murder 76 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: lots and lots of murder, are also the tools of 77 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: the Maduro dictatorship. Maduro uses the cartels and that stuff 78 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: to repress the population, gives them impunity for their organized crime, 79 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: profits from them, and in fact, the Maduro regime owns 80 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: the cartel. The Cartel delos Sules or Cartel of the 81 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: Suns named for get this, the Insignia Venezuelan generals earn 82 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: as they move up in rank. Wow, it's like if 83 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: a the branch of the mafia referred to themselves as 84 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: the four star Mafia because all the generals in our 85 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: army were in on it. That's all interesting, but it's 86 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: not supposed to be. According to a lot of us, 87 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: our role to determine that that country's leadership sucks, so 88 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: we should play a role in overthrowing it or hurting them. 89 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we're not supposed to do that. Well, according 90 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 4: to whom you innocent boy, come on anyway. So the 91 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: US is designating to a foreign terrorist group and it's 92 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: known to run cocaine operations from coca leaf to distribution 93 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: on the American streets. They're in league with Trendy Arragua, 94 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: and beyond drugs, they specialize in extortion, human trafficking. Is 95 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 4: there evil, evil, violent scumbags? 96 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: I don't doubt it. But man, there's lots of evil 97 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: scumbags around the world, and we don't and we got 98 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: to kill them all. Are you against that? We don't bris, Larry, 99 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: We don't drone all of them. I'm not gonna I'm 100 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: not gonna lose it any minute. I Am not going 101 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: to lose any sleep over these eleven people that got 102 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: obliterated on their drug boat. At all. Of all the 103 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 2: things I got to worry about, this is way way 104 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: down the list. But it seems like if you're going 105 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: to go with bringing drugs into the United States counts 106 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: as a death penalty threat, where we can just drone 107 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: you out of nowhere. Can't you expand that to a 108 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: bunch of different stuff. Yeah? 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: Possibly, And that was the part of the Rubio argument 110 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 4: that I wasn't buying. 111 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: Do you have that in front of you still? It 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: was the very first part. Okay, and this was in 113 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: Mexico yesterday when he said this. He did it again. 114 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: I just I don't like bad arguments, even if I 115 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 4: agree with the policy. 116 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: US forces could have stopped the boat that officials say 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: was carrying illegal drugs from Venezuela, according to Marco Rubio, 118 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: but President Donald Trump chose and said to destroy it, 119 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: killing eleven people instead of interdicting it on the president's orders. 120 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: We blew it up and it'll happen again. When asked 121 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: if they warned the crew, Rubio said, the best, like 122 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: other carrying drugs, posed an immediate threat to the United States, 123 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: giving the country the right to destroy it. Yeah, that's 124 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: that's the rub right there, in immediate indirect weeks later, probably. 125 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: When the drugs got distributed on the streets. Threat that 126 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 4: might kill people. 127 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: That might kill people, right, or it might just make 128 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: them really high, so they hang over at the waist 129 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: on the streets of Seattle, drooling from the mouth and 130 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: ruining their lives. These people are evil and horrible. And 131 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: as we're discussing yesterday, if somebody does precisely the same 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: things as say, an Islamist extremist organization, they kill, they maim, 133 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: they bomb, but they're doing it in the name of profit, 134 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: like the cartels, or control like Maduro in league with 135 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: the cartels. Terrorist isn't the right name for them. But 136 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: in terms of moral, legal justifytion for snuffing them, I'm 137 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: pretty comfortable with it. Well, I don't want to sound 138 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: like I'm on the that I'm really concerned about this, 139 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: because I'm not. But the Islamo fascists their goal is 140 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: to kill people. I would assume the drug dealer's goal 141 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: is not to kill people. They would love it if 142 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: you all stayed alive and get buying their drugs. So 143 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: their intent isn't to kill people like the Islama fashions is. 144 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, but what if it is reckless endangerment the size 145 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: of Mount everest fully knowing that what they do will 146 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 4: kill It's not their intent per se, but it's the 147 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: inevitable result, and they know it sure well, clearly this 148 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 4: administration decided, Yeah, that counts for us. Also, as I 149 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: mentioned yesterday, and again, we don't want China to set 150 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 4: the standard. But you think China allows other countries to 151 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: mess with China if they can stop it. If anybody 152 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: who's sending anything into China that she didn't like, they 153 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 4: would freaking destroy them. 154 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: Obviously, right, right? 155 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: Have we gotten a little too sweet and gentle and 156 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: principled to survive as a republic. That's actually a question 157 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: worth asking. It's kind of uncomfortable for an American to 158 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: ask that question because that's sort of right to kill 159 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 4: people because well, they're a danger well the world. 160 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: But that's always abused. The world is heading toward uglier, 161 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: not more peaceful. 162 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 4: A couple more notes. We got some emails this from 163 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 4: some connection of letters. Once again, you've not done the research. 164 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: I will enlighten you. 165 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: I like the tone. I like the tone right off 166 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: the bat. Oh it gets better. Please read the DoD 167 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: Department of Defense Law of Law of War Manual, Chapters 168 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: ten and eleven provides the authority. By the way, yes, 169 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: before you go further, i'd like anybody who didn't hear. 170 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: So this person's responding to what we said yesterday. And 171 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: if you weren't listening, yesterday, we had a discussion just 172 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: like we did. Now we we're going back and forth 173 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: and neither one of us are sure. So this person's 174 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: responding to us having a discussion where I don't know, 175 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: you know, maybe this may be that it's not like 176 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 2: we came off hardcore one way or the other. 177 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 4: And testing each other's arguments, because that's what you do. 178 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 4: For instance, and I've said this many times, if you 179 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 4: send us an email and say, guys, I think you 180 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: miss this because it's really important we remember blah blah blah, 181 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: that's not insulting or hurtful. 182 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: You've done me a favor. You've helped me form a 183 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 2: better argument. And so we were going back and forth 184 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: just as we were trying to think. All right, where 185 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: do we come down on this? Anyway? So, once again 186 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: you've not done the research. I will enlighten you. Please 187 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: read the DoD Department of Defense Law War Manual, Chapters 188 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: ten eleven. It provides the authorities and duties of our President, 189 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: Donald J. Trumpe in times of war. We are at war, guys. 190 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: I don't I know you two may not believe it, 191 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: but martiall law was declared in his first term. Okay, 192 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 2: so we're question the question of when we are actually 193 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: at war? Given the Constitution, Congress is right to declare war, 194 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: military opp special military opera, police actions, blah blah blah. 195 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Is a decades, practically centuries long fascinating conversations that Americans 196 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 2: have had. But you, my friend, have figured all of 197 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: that out. And anybody who doesn't is a stupid idiot 198 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: who should be lectured. I congratulate you on your solemnnic wisdom, 199 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 2: you mouthy prig. I shouldn't I retract that I aspologize? 200 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: So which war is he referring to the war on terror? 201 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: The war are on drugs. But that's not a war 202 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: on worduro. The war on drugs is a rhetorical war. 203 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: The war on terror is an actual war, is it? Well, 204 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: there is the uh that Armed Forces Agreement thing that 205 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: got passed after nine to eleven that they use for 206 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 2: every attack on any country in the world for the 207 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: last quarter century. But at least that's legislation. There's no 208 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: military legislation about a war on drugs that I'm aware of. 209 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: That was just verbiage, like the war on cancer. On 210 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: I don't really. 211 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: Even want to talk about it anymore because it's impossible 212 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 4: to come to an answer of whether we are in fact, 213 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: quote unquote at war with these people unless you're this 214 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: guy who knows it with certainty. 215 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: And then are you gonna use his logic the war 216 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: on drugs? You could? You could drone strike Nestley because 217 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: chocolate has sugar in it and leads to more cancer. 218 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: Or obliterate immigrants as they line up at the border, right, 219 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: I mean, if we have a war on immigration or whatever, 220 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 4: let's see. I found this interesting from Byron Watch for 221 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 4: Maduro his next movie. He'll begin placing innocence on his 222 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: drug boats, whether for real or simple statements suggesting that 223 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 4: they've been placed, a simple way to draw soft heads 224 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 4: into a rebellious position against Trump's attempt to well do 225 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: what he's obviously doing. 226 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: Is opening move yesterday was to say it's fake. It 227 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: was ai it didn't actually happen. Byron sums up with 228 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: to hell with the soft heads, grow a pair and 229 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: realize what the face of war looks like? Well again 230 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: the war? Who are we on war with? At work? 231 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: So harden up your head, grow some testicles, do the research, 232 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 4: and read the DoD Law War Manual, Chapters ten and eleven. 233 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: Man, I got a busy afternoon, so I'll have a 234 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: really hard head and two sets of testicles. I don't 235 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: know if that's gonna help my life. Oh, like you 236 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: already have a nobody that believes that, shild Okay, Well, 237 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: I'm to talk a little bit about the NFL season 238 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: and a couple other things.

I'm gonna go 248 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: to the super Bowl this year, So I'm looking into that. 249 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: Young men of America. Does it seem like all the 250 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: chicks you know are on drugs? It's because they probably are, 251 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: but not like the drugs, drugs we used to enjoy 252 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 4: back in the day. Uh, they're all on beta blockers. 253 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 4: Specifically this drug pro proanolo. 254 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: Ask for by name. 255 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: It looks like pro pro pranolol. That's how you've probably pronounced. 256 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: Is that what Michael Jackson took to get to sleep? No, 257 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: that was the milk, silly? Which one was that? 258 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: That was? 259 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: What? 260 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: What? What is this drug women are taking? What do 261 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: they take it for? It's a beta blocker originally developed 262 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: for dealing with cardiovascular disease. It lowers your heart rate 263 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: and your blood pressure, and it can reduce the physical 264 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: symptoms of anxiety, although it is not approved by the 265 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: FDA for that. I wish Katie was hero, but she 266 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: knows all about that. Yeah, so it's interesting. 267 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: This article opens up with as Erica's Fisher's Erica Fisher's 268 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: nuptials approach. She's trying to decide should she take a 269 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 4: beta blocker before she walks down the aisle. 270 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: You're going to drug yourself at your wedding. You're going 271 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: to drug yourself at your wedding because you don't want 272 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: to feel the feelings that a company getting married. Some 273 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: of them completely natural that everybody's had throughout history. 274 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 4: Which is my objection to a lot of this, honestly, 275 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: is well, Well, they talk about how loads and loads 276 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 4: of people are taking this. Most people take it situationally. 277 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: Musicians and actors, for instance, have long relied on beta blockers, 278 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: like pro pronologue. 279 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: That's funny because I was just about to say, there 280 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: are things you're suppose You're supposed to be anxious before 281 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: the game starts, before you walk on stage. That's the 282 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: normal reaction. That's what gets you all geared up to 283 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: perform so or your wedding day or whatever. So people 284 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: are taking drugs to not have the normal human reaction. Well, 285 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: that's interesting. 286 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 4: And they talk about Robert Downey Junior during the twenty 287 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 4: twenty four Golden Globe said I took a beta blocker, 288 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: So this is going to be a breeze, and at 289 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 4: this year's Academy Awards, actress Rachel Sinot's red carpet advice 290 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: was take that beta blocker, girl, swallow it down and 291 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 4: lock it in, and their sound bite became sort of 292 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: a rallying cry for women who report experiencing anxiety disorders 293 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: at higher rates than men. 294 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: Now, I can see that it would be helpful if, 295 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, you have paralyzing anxiety at the idea 296 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: of just walking into work or something like that. But 297 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: but for things that are you know, legit anxious, you know, 298 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: and events that are gonna make you anxious, why would 299 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: you want to block that? 300 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 4: I could name a couple of like, truly gifted musicians 301 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: who stopped performing because they were so miserable they couldn't 302 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 4: walk out on stage. 303 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: Miles Davis used to throw up before he'd play he 304 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: gets so nervous. Mmm, I do that before every show? 305 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 4: Should I guess? 306 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty? Well, listen, we've got to do this. 307 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: Let me hear you all saying he ow ge s meggs, 308 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: let's go birds. We enjoyed that last year's Timeless when 309 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: it was the Eagles were going to be in the 310 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which a lot of people predict they will 311 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: be again. And they played tonight against the Dallas Cowboys 312 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: to kick off the NFL football season. They're supposed to 313 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: be really good again. Would say, are they so good? 314 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 2: And how do they last? 315 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 4: How they continue to be so good? You want me 316 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 4: to talk about that here? 317 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: Why not? All right? I'm kind of interested in that. 318 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: It's an accounting trick essentially that everybody can do, but 319 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 4: the Eagles do it way more than others for reasons 320 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 4: I will trot out in a moment or two. It's 321 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 4: the basic formula has to do with the salary cap. 322 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 4: Every dollar paid to a player has to be accounted 323 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 4: for on the team's books. But you can get creative 324 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 4: on when that cost hits. And so what they're doing 325 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 4: now is they add dummy or void years at the 326 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 4: end of a player's contract. They might be on the 327 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: team or not, they might be retired or not, but 328 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 4: they have these dummy years at the end, and they 329 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: spread the bonus money out along the entire structure of 330 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 4: the contract, the entire entire time of the contract. 331 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: Here's how it works. 332 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 4: When you sign a contract, two primary components your salary 333 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 4: and your bonuses. 334 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 2: The salary counts. Again, it's the cap for the year 335 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: it's paid, obviously, but the hit from a signing bonus 336 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: is spread over the length of a contract, which is 337 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: then super stretched by these dummy years. I mean, in 338 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: the case of how did you have that handy wow, 339 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: And in the case of Jalen Hurts, I want to 340 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: make sure I get this right. He's one of the 341 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: highest paid quarterbacks, highest paid athletes in the history of 342 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: the world. But his salary is the NFL minimum. Wow. 343 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 2: Okay for a player of his years, but he has 344 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: a ginormous signing bonus. Okay, that's pretty interesting. And the 345 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: NBA's got its own scandal going on if you haven't 346 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: seen that in the last twenty four hours, one of 347 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: the best players in all of the NBA, Kawhi Leonard, 348 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: he's got like a reasonable salary even though he's one 349 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: of the best players. It turns out he they crafted 350 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: some sort of deal where the twe he's getting twenty 351 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 2: five million dollars from a local endorsement. That and the 352 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: team kind of figured out a way to do the 353 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: accounting where the money goes to that endorser who's paying him, 354 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: so it doesn't show up as a salary cap. So 355 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: they learned from the Philadelphia Eagles that you come up 356 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: with the counting tricks because you if you had if 357 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: you if you didn't have various salary caps, the richest 358 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 2: team would usually win, usually not always, but usually win. 359 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah enough to want to make them want to go 360 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: ahead and do it. I will quibble. 361 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 4: The Kawhi Leonard thing is just flat cheating. This is 362 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: something everybody can do and does openly. But you have 363 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 4: to have an owner who's willing to part with enormous 364 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 4: amounts of cash up front. And also much like the 365 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 4: United States government say, well, what the. 366 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: Hell's gonna happen when we've got all of this stuff, 367 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: all these obligations pile up in seven or eight years. 368 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: You gotta have an owner who says, I don't care, 369 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: let's just win a Super Bowl. I'm surprised that doesn't 370 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: happen more often. Where you got the billionaire owners like 371 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 2: Paul Allen and the Portland trail billers, the Portland team 372 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: where they just have so much money that you know 373 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: you're over the salary caps. You have to pay the penalty. 374 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: I don't care what I care, Yeah, I want to 375 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: win I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often, but it 376 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: has been proven over and over at the Yankees and 377 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: the Dodgers and different teams that haven't the most expensive 378 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: payroll doesn't guarantee you win it all. It gives you 379 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 2: much better shot. Obviously. By the way, Philadelphia is tied 380 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: in Vegas for the best odds of winning the Super 381 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 2: Bowl again with the Baltimore Ravens. So the Baltimore Ravens 382 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 2: and the Eagles both have the two best odds according 383 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: to Vegas, who is often very right, followed by your Packers, 384 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: your Lions. Then you get down to your Chiefs and Bills. 385 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: Those are the teams with the best options. Although as 386 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 2: we pointed out yesterday, there's no way to factor in injuries, 387 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: and that always plays a huge role because in this sport, 388 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: some star players are going to get really hurt. 389 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 4: What size, it's a different team six weeks into the season. 390 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: What sucks is if you root for a team that 391 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: the ownership doesn't actually care about trying to win. I 392 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 2: mean they're running it as a business rather than as 393 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: like a fan who wants to have the best team. 394 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: And the Dallas Cowboys who played tonight America's team. There 395 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 2: are more Dallas Cowboys fans than anybody. Troikman called out 396 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones, the owner, for clearly not being set on winning, 397 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: at least in the immediate future, as they traded away 398 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: their very best player over the summer, and then another 399 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: player just like last week, one of their top players. 400 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: So they're just and then that's tough when you're a fan, 401 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: and you know that because there are other teams that 402 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: are hell bent on winning all the time. 403 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: Speaking of tough, I think we're all really excited looking 404 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 4: forward to the release of ESPN and Spike Lee's Colin 405 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 4: Kaepernick documentary series. 406 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: I know I was. 407 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 4: I was gonna watch every minute of it, but it 408 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 4: has been quashed. It has been dropped because, according to 409 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 4: his statement, ESPN, Colin Kaepernick Spike Leeve collectively decided to 410 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: no longer proceed with this project as a result is 411 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: certain creative differences. In essence, Kaepernick hated what Spike Lee 412 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 4: was doing, Spike Lee hated what ESPN was doing. ESPN 413 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 4: couldn't stand Colin Kaepernick, and nobody could agree on anything, 414 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 4: and so they just said to hell with it and 415 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 4: buried it. 416 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: Hey, where is the game tonight Philadelphia. Doubts not where 417 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: they're playing, but he no, But where do you find 418 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: it to watch it? Can you look that up Michael 419 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: while I'm talking. Maybe it's on ESPN. I don't know, 420 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: but I know this year it's going to be harder 421 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: to find your your games, and in some case you 422 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: might not have the channel that is carrying the game 423 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 2: of your favorite team, and you're gonna have to pay 424 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: more for it. And that's just what the future of 425 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: everything is becoming. Obviously, I had another football thing is 426 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: going to throw out their persis. Oh so you told 427 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 2: us not that long ago that they outlawed the tush push, right, 428 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: the fact that the Eagles have the most big giant asses. 429 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 2: They can't do that anymore. Uh yeah, I think that 430 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: was the ruling, right, So being the team with the 431 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: biggest asses is no longer. It's not the size of 432 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: their asses that's fundamental to the success. You're a non fan. 433 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: You sound like a chick. 434 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 4: Oh that was sexist, and I apologize deeply. There are 435 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 4: many women who are hardcore sports fans and they have 436 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 4: my respect. 437 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: Showing it on ABC right now, the toush push, the 438 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: big giant asses pushing everybody over and then not the ass. 439 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: It's the push that's the problem anyway, It's not the 440 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: relative size of their glutes. So they they they they 441 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: they outlawn that though, right, yes, okay, so now because 442 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 2: it's dangerous and it's impossible to stop, and we talked 443 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: about that. When they so are smaller, ashed teams will 444 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: have shot. Okay, yes, Michael, you have the switch for 445 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: his microphone. Michael, you know what? Yeah, where do I 446 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 2: find out now? NBC tonight, NBC. Okay, it's on a 447 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 2: regular network that I get. Don't have to pay extra. 448 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: I don't have to go find it on like Amazon 449 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: three and pay forty dollars a month to have it 450 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: or something. 451 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 4: This one's on BritBox. You have to be subscribed to 452 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 4: Paramount and then the BBC to watch the Kings. 453 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: All right, come on. It is by far the number 454 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: one TV show in America, though I remember at the 455 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: end of last year, I think nineteen at the top 456 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: twenty shows were all NFL games, maybe a presidential debate 457 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: in there or something. So in terms of everybody, in 458 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: terms of a community thing that people watch, this is 459 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: about the last of it. Yes, yes, I would like 460 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: anybody who has any tips about going to the Super 461 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Bowl to email or text, because I am going to 462 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: commit to going this year since it's at Levi Stadium 463 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: in San Francisco Santa Clair, not that far from where 464 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: I live. Because the travel. One of the things always 465 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: stopped me from going is the travel, because he got 466 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: to travel there, and you got to get a hotel, 467 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: and that adds many, many more thousands of dollars. If 468 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: I can have that, Since it's not that far from 469 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: my house, I'm just a freaking get a ticket and 470 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 2: figure out a way to get there. But I just 471 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: still think it. I was talking to some of the 472 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 2: other day who's gone to many Super Bowls, and they 473 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: would They said it cost many tens of thousands of 474 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: dollars each time. They went, Wow, that's a lot. Wow 475 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: to see your favorite team play a football game. Yeah, 476 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: guess why. 477 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: I'd be tempted to just stand around the stadium, wait 478 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 4: for the game to start and see if anybody wants 479 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 4: to give them away. 480 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 2: You know, I have scalped tickets for a lot of 481 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: supposedly you can't get a ticket events in my life. 482 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if that works for the Super Bowl. 483 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 4: Or not though, right, Yeah, I've I've just failed completely 484 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 4: once at that. 485 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think me too. No tickets, but I think 486 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: me too. And I went to a bar across the 487 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 2: street and watch it on TV. Now that's perfectly fine. 488 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: Ruined my life. 489 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm mostly different about going to the super 490 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: Bowl because the actual experience washing the game is so 491 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 4: much better at home. 492 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: Did you go to a Super Bowl? 493 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 4: No? I was going to, but yeah, the tickets yanked 494 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: away from me in Ah. 495 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: I remember that story, and it was your team that 496 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: was playing. I almost would like it better to go 497 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: on a year where I don't care who wins than 498 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: if I got a super routing interest. But I don't know. 499 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. If you know anything about that, text 500 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: or email please, I would like that. Of course, if 501 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 2: it's going to cost many tens of thousands of dollars, 502 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: I better get my financial life together. And one way 503 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 2: to do that would be to have a trust and will. 504 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: Courtesy of trust and Will, you can put that together 505 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: with a plan starting at one hundred ninety nine dollars. 506 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 2: You do it online. What's the difference between the trust 507 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: and will? Do I need one? Do I need both? 508 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: They will help guide you through all of that, and 509 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 2: again you can create and manage your custom of state 510 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 2: plan very reasonably. And you know you need this. You 511 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: don't want to doom the people you love into long, 512 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 2: ugly legal fights with the government taking a chunk and 513 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: the rest of it. No, avoid those lengthy, expensive legal 514 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 2: battles or the state deciding what happens to your assets. 515 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: You'll have all your important documents in one place with 516 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 2: bank level encryption. And I love really nice. I love 517 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: the fact that you can get all that peace of 518 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: mind starting at one hundred nine nine dollars and live 519 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: customer support.

That's 525 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 4: Trustendwill dot com slash Armstrong. 526 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: The amount of betting that goes on around the NFL, 527 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 2: in terms of legal and illegal wagering, is just insane. 528 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: I was listening to the numbers this morning and it's 529 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: a growing thing. It still is growing more and more 530 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: people every year that are that get into that and 531 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: enjoy it. So that's its own kind of side sport. 532 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: I've never done that, but for some people, that's what 533 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: the NFL season brings, is all the fun of the betting. 534 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll spice it up depending on your preferences. So 535 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: we ought to talk about Florida moving toward to end 536 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 4: vaccine mandates for school children at some point. 537 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I want to, but we certainly can. 538 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: And that looks like that's actually going to happen. 539 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yeah. DeSantis is on board with it, 540 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: as is his surgeon general. I'm kind of surprised by that. 541 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 4: I am too. I am too, So it's probably worth 542 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 4: talking about. 543 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: Plus an update on modern warfare number one military analyst 544 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: and expert analyzing what was on display in China's big 545 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: parade the other day. Plus AI is now is now 546 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: on the battlefield. Fantastic. I love that sort of stuff. 547 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: We got all that on the way. Stay here. 548 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 4: We bring you the scintillating and revealing discussion between incredibly 549 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 4: annoying Oregon Senator Ron Wyden and RFK junior Senator. 550 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: I didn't politicize. There's Congress, but he's all. 551 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: Over the country, mister secretary, scientists and doctors are saying otherwise. 552 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 5: They're all wrong too, They're all lying. 553 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: According to you, a scientist, doctors are supporting me all 554 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: over the country. Oh there is division on opinion. 555 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: I don't I don't get letters from thousands of people 556 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 5: who are not political saying that this set of changes 557 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 5: is going to damage American healthcare and particularly these healthcare 558 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 5: agencies for decades to come. 559 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: I don't get any. 560 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 5: Letters, so I'll say, Oh, they're going to make a 561 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 5: big difference forever. 562 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: And maybe you're listening to a selective group of people. 563 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: You get, you get me. 564 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: And I will find I will tell you what Senator got. 565 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: I will put my mail bag against your mail bag. 566 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: I got a day way thirty seconds, you know, and 567 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 4: we ought to use that clip before mailbag every morning. 568 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: Hanson an hour one of the show. I don't want you. 569 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: I don't want to watch you two guys put your 570 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: mail bags against each other. But it's not his fault. 571 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: I realize whatever happened with his voice RFK Junior, I 572 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: find impossible to listen to just because of his voice. 573 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 2: I just I can't. It's so distracting, and I just ah. Anyway, 574 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 2: a doctor friend of mine texted, so we're gonna get 575 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 2: into the whole. Looks like Florida is gonna do way 576 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 2: with the mandates for vaccines for school. Wow, entirely. I 577 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: thought they would just narrow it down to like the 578 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: Big ten or something like that of the stuff that 579 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: everybody agrees on. But they're just gonna do it away 580 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: with mandates. But anyway, a doctor friend of mine texted, 581 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: there are now seventy two vaccines required from birth to 582 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: age eighteen. Seventy two vaccines you get between birth and eighteen. 583 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 2: That seems like a lot. Yeah, are all of those 584 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: strictly necessary? Can't be? It's impossible that they are. I 585 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 2: don't know. 586 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 4: And it's also of those boosters or that's a lot 587 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 4: of shots. 588 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: It's a lot of shots, I know. I was always 589 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 2: said during COVID's It just it just strange credulity to 590 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 2: think that when there are billions and billions of dollars 591 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 2: on the line for somebody to check the box. Yes, 592 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: let's make this mandated, as opposed to know that, right, 593 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: that doesn't play a role. Right. 594 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 4: There are some childhood diseases that are mostly just annoying. 595 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: But you know, as long as you get in seventy shots, 596 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: how about let's have another one in a booster. Seventy 597 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: two billions of dollars will change hands. Yeah, I agree. 598 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 4: And as we were discussing earlier, having utterly shredded their credibility, Yeah, 599 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 4: during and after COVID, the CDC and the other you know, 600 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 4: vaunted institutes of health, a lot of people are either 601 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 4: neutral or negative about hearing what they have to say 602 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 4: about anything. 603 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Did we make it clear that are RFK Junior 604 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 2: is being questioned by a committee right now as we speak, 605 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: and we'll have more highlights from that if there are any. 606 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: But part of RFK Junior's opening statement was the CDC 607 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: lied about all kinds of things during COVID. Why do 608 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: you believe them now? Yeah, well, fair enough. 609 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 4: That's why you don't want to chuck your credibility if 610 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 4: you can avoid it. So, Florida is proposing to eliminate 611 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 4: all vaccine mandates, including for school children. It would make 612 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 4: it the first state in the US to end immunization requirements. 613 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound very rond desantasy. 614 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 4: It does not. His Surgeon general and I should have 615 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: asked for this audio because the Surgeon General, Joseph Vlatipoe, 616 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 4: who I'm sure is a fine fellow and a fine physician, 617 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 4: goes a bit al Sharpton on us with every la 618 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 4: is talking about the vaccine directives issued by. 619 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: Or a Department of health. Every last one of them 620 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 2: is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery. Who am I, 621 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: as a government or anyone else, is a man standing 622 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: here now to tell you what you should put in 623 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 2: your body? Yeah, the drop. 624 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 4: Outfits safely and effectively eliminates deadly childhood diseases and protects 625 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 4: other children from getting it. 626 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 2: Okay, well, and then just don't be using the slavery 627 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 2: thing as a don't disdain and slavery. See, yeah, no 628 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't. We're throwing out that. Probably the most libertarian 629 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: the government has no right doing anything person I know 630 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: in my life is Tim Sanderfer, and he's fully on 631 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 2: board with mandates for various vaccines because of the way 632 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 2: it affects the overall population. 633 00:34:54,600 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 4: Right on the other hand, having shredded their credibility and 634 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 4: perhaps over required an unreasonable number of vaccinations, here we are. 635 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 636 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 4: Anyway, on a slightly different topic, watch the hearings today. 637 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 4: If you're into politics, an interesting subplot is what's Bill 638 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 4: Cassidy going to say, the Louisiana Republican senator who's a 639 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 4: highly respected physician, he's a liver expert of all things. 640 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: But he was one of two I. 641 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 4: Can't remember how many senators Republican senators voted to convict 642 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,479 Speaker 4: Trump over the January sixth attacks. But since then he's 643 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 4: been quite a loyal supporter of Trump's programs and policies 644 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 4: and that sort of thing. And so they have a 645 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 4: detant and he's running for re election I think is 646 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 4: it next year? And there's been a ceasefire between Trump 647 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 4: and Senator Cassidy. And if he goes too hard after 648 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 4: RFK Junior, what will that mean politically? And also, because 649 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 4: Cassidy's a smart guy and a respected and caring doctor, 650 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 4: I'd like to know what tack he takes. 651 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 2: Even more than that, he was a holdout vote and 652 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: they needed all the Republican votes to get RFK Junior approved. 653 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: He was a holdout vote and got RFK Junior to 654 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: swear that he would not go anti vaccine if he 655 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: got the job. And RFK Junior's gone pretty anti vaccine. 656 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, and both he and Susan Collins in particular have said, hey, 657 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 4: he has not done what he promised me he would do, so. 658 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 2: This could be interesting. Yeah, and we'll bring it to 659 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 2: if it happened Armstrong and Getty
