1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Keetty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Jettatie and now he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: And then she has two major rallies and concerts tonight,

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: one in Pittsburgh, the other in Philadelphia, all centered on

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: getting out the vote. We're talking about Lady Gaga, Katie Perry,

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: Ricky Martin, the star power being used to hopefully energize

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: folks for her campaign.

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: That's funny how different that plays for different people, because

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and whoever else energizes some people

11
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: for Harris and some people for Trump. I mean, it

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: makes me less likely than I would vote for Kamala Harris,

13
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: not more.

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: What an odds is politics? Say a couple of stray

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: thoughts that I want to get to a really great

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: think piece, but we we'll squeeze in whatever we can.

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: This segment pan at the Squirrel, not this segment, no time,

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 4: this hour, I think so yes, yeah, And the significance

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: of the murder of Pean out the squirrel.

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: Barton Swain said this, why did.

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: Democrats nominate an unaccomplished San Francisco progressive with few political skills,

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: for the same reason they favored harsh lockdowns during the pandemic,

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: the same reason they refused to use force against America's enemies,

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: an insane fear of risk nominating a presidential candidate by

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 4: an open primaries risky Democrats did the safe thing a

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 4: reminder that sometimes the safe thing is the dumbest risk

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: of all, an insane aversion to risk, which reminds me

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: of safetyism of a yieldcaf children, not letting your kids

29
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: play in event games and run around. It is progressive

30
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: America that is insanely risk averse.

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Well, something that's about.

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: If she wins, which she might, it's gonna turn out

33
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: to be a good idea. If she loses, people will

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: be complaining about this for decades.

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: Probably so Kim Strassel.

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: One of the gentler yet telling putdowns of this election

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: came from Tim Walls, who pronounced, the Republicans are.

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: Weird, hilarious.

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: You want to know it's weird, taxpayers, you've funded sex

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: change surgeries for felons, attempts to regulate cow flatulence, the

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: expectation that fewer police will mean less crime. The sixteen

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: to nineteen project decriminalizing border crossings, boys competing in girls' sports,

43
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: the word latins sizable majorities of Americans think all of

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: this is nut, yet they remain staples of Democratic policy

45
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: and rhetoric.

46
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: That's weird.

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: And finally, this highlighted this late in the show the

48
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,559
Speaker 4: other day. Wanted to get to it early. A California

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: college with a big poster. Election anxiety is real. Votes

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: are in and emotions are running high, grappling with disappoint

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: but fear and confusion.

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: We have twenty twenty four election.

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: Brave spaces open, not safe spaces if you're so reduced

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 4: to tears and trembling by an election, and we hold

55
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: them every author here presidents every four years for the

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: rest of your life. But if you're so devastated by

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: it you need a brave space, you can go there.

58
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of it.

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: Is the crowd that liked being scared of COVID because

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: it gave you, I.

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Don't know what, some feeling of community something, Yeah, likes being.

62
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: Think honest, I was talking about to somebody about this

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: last night. I really believe there's a big chunk of

64
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: America that would crawl over broken Glass to vote for

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. But there's a place in the back of

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: their mind they might not even acknowledge themselves. They're kind

67
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: of hoping Trump wins because it'd be so fun to

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: be angry and scared for the next four years and

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: bond together over that.

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: I guarantee you well, right, especially, and I think that's

71
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: a great point. I haven't heard anybody say that, but

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: I think you're right, especially because then you get to

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: cosplay I have a brave revolutionary even though there's zero

74
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: risk of anything bad happening.

75
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: You're gonna tell me that wasn't kind of fun for

76
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: you being the resistance during four years of Trump and

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: every day texting your friends about the awful thing Trump

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: did and how rough it is to be in America

79
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: right now you love worshiping Adam Schiff, Whereas if Kabla

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: wins tomorrow, I'm gonna go huh.

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: I thought Trump was gonna win, and that's pretty much it.

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: I mean, emotionally, yeah, I just pray the Senate is,

83
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: you know, a Republican anyway. More on that to come

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 4: at some point, but I thought that was funny. Kim

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: Cress is from Christopher to Moose. Who is who is

86
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: de Mouse? I think he's a distinguished fellow at the

87
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: Heritage Foundation. But his piece is entitled how Congress unleashed

88
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 4: the presidency by expanding government power beyond what they could handle.

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: The lawmakers set the stage for the unnerving polarization of

90
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 4: the twenty four election. And he goes into it and

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: it's quite entertaining, but a little long. But you know,

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: this election is nuts but rhetorically unhinged. But so is

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: the eighteen hundred contest between Jefferson and Adams, framed by war,

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 4: political violence, and sudden withdrawal of the incumbent, just like

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty eight Trump a convention defying redneck who claimed

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 4: the last election was stolen from him Andrew Jackson. In

97
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: eighteen twenty eight, Kamala Harris was nominated by party insiders

98
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: without consulting the voters, which was everybody before the mid

99
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: twentieth century.

100
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: So why so crazy now?

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 4: And he says, the collapse of common culture, moral confusion

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: and ignorance among supposedly educated people, pervasive corruption and dishonesty

103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 4: in public life, the infestation of the woke mind virus

104
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: throughout the institutions of education, media, culture, and commerce.

105
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: They all play a role.

106
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: But I'm going to quote now I have a more

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: specific explanation. Add to the mix, the presidency has become

108
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: much more powerful and less benign than it was designed

109
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: to be. We've talked about this jack through the years,

110
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: but in recent years the president has become lawmaker in chief,

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: eclips in Congress. In many areas of arenas of national life,

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: he employs his new powers unabashedly for partisan purposes. His

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 4: traditional irreplaceable function as a head of state and national

114
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: leader have fallen by the wayside in many areas, such

115
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: as tax and foreign policy. Today's president is, as ever,

116
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: both uniquely important and politically constrained. But in many other

117
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: areas he makes policy on his own, so that this

118
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: year's election, in determining who will be president for four years,

119
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: will also determine whether to leave the southern border open,

120
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 4: whether to restructure the power industry and phase out gas

121
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: stoves and internal combustion automobiles, and whether to require schools

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: to let boys who feel they are girls compete in girls' sports.

123
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: I mean, how the hell is the president in charge

124
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: of all of that? I don't know. It is a

125
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: point we've made before, but it's still an act.

126
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: One point, the reason we get so worked up is

127
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: whoever gets chosen makes all these policy decisions, and.

128
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: They didn't before period. I mean, that makes perfect sense.

129
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: And he points out that he's just named a few

130
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: issues and there are many, many more of them in

131
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: the executive toolkit, in the pen and the phone and the.

132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Rest of it.

133
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: Little wonder that the presidential campaigns have become billion dollar

134
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: enterprises devoted mainly to partisan in interest group mobilization rather

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: than courting the political center. It's telling both sides have

136
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: said democracy is itself at stake for choosing the president

137
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: is now what makes our democracy mainly consists of Sorry

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: I misread that, but both sides employee highly precise data

139
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: communications that all to win the presidency. And then the

140
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: final part I want to include because I was you know,

141
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: I knew this but had forgotten it. We've arrived at

142
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: these straits through fifty years of gradual political evolution as

143
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: one incremental step led to another with little appreciation of

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: where they are going.

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: And he mentions that it.

146
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: Was in the nineteen seventies, friends, not the eighteen seventies,

147
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: the nineteen seventies that Congress created numerous executive branch agencies

148
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: to deal with what he calls newly salient political issues.

149
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 4: The EPA was commissioned invented in the seventies and now

150
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: has awesome rule which is law making power and the

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 4: power to punish. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the

152
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: OSHA was born in the seventies, the Energy Department born

153
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: in the seventies, the Education Department in the seventies, and

154
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: many civil rights officers to adjudicate claims of discrimination. And

155
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: these new offices possessed unprecedented power to issue sweeping national rules,

156
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: often costing hundreds of millions of dollars a piece. Presidents

157
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: noticed that they were getting the praise and blame for

158
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 4: policies on which they weren't in the loop. They began

159
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: to require agencies to submit rules to the White House

160
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: omb the Office of Management and Budget, and they all

161
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: rulemaking proposals would have to undergo a cost benefit analysis

162
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: and then to make a long story slightly less long,

163
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: the presidents realized, look, if these giant, sweeping powers of

164
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: the executive are either bringing me credit or blame, I

165
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: need to control them. And so now they do, and

166
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: so yeah, the presidency is also electing like a third

167
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: all powerful branch of Congress.

168
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: Wow, how about all of those big agencies that control

169
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: our lives that didn't even exist not that long ago,

170
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: pre Disco, they didn't even exist.

171
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: You know who?

172
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: What president was was perhaps the second greatest force between giant,

173
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: sprawling federal government after Fdr Nixon. Nixon was very soft

174
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: on big controlling government. It was under his wife that

175
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: a lot of that stuff got started. Carter ratified a

176
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: lot of it, but Nixon was a big government guy.

177
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: So some good stuff this hour, we're going to talk

178
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: to Josh Rogan of the Washington Post, who's waving his

179
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: arms and saying, hello, how compan he's no pain. Nobody's

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: paying attention to the Chinese hacking into our telecom stuff.

181
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: Hello, this is a really really big deal. And it

182
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: is a big deal.

183
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: Janned the squirrel heard around the world speaking of animal

184
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 4: world who chewed on nuts.

185
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to come down. There's got to be a

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: hook here, got to be a hook.

187
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: We got to talk about Panda eyes later. I almost

188
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: hate too because it's so we got her though. I

189
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: went on a deep dive on it last night, and

190
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: it's just way way too.

191
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Wait h.

192
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: We'll be plumbing the depths of crazy and stupid.

193
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Makes Pizzagate seem like, you know, real uh wow, all right,

194
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: so all that on the way, stay with us.

195
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 5: After the Dodgers won the World Series, Viole broke out

196
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles and a Nike store got looted. That

197
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: is just disgusting. Yankee fans would never steal sporting goods

198
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: unless it was during the game, right.

199
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: Theah, yeah, exactly, that's a pretty good joke.

200
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: So I in my flippings and clickings over the weekend,

201
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: I became aware that a lot of people were posting

202
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: memes having to do with a squirrel, and I was

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: mystified by it and didn't know what to think of it.

204
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: And then finally came across a good, solid explanation.

205
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're telling you this this story because I

206
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: kept seeing the headlines.

207
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: About Peanut the squirrel, and I'm going to share some

208
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: of what the Wall Street Journal editorial board said about

209
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: Peanut the squirrel.

210
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Wow, it rose to the level of the Wall Street

211
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: Journal editorial board.

212
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: I think it was their lead editorial on Sunday.

213
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, New York can't keep the subways safe. The

214
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: mentally ill attack random pedestrians on the street, and the

215
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: Manhattan District Attorney won't prosecute many nonviolent crimes and some violent,

216
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: But how's a pet squirrel and the state's bureaucrats will

217
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: come down on you like you're a menace to society.

218
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: That's what Mark Longo says happened to him.

219
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: Several government agents descended on his Upstate home on Wednesday

220
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: in a heavy handed raid. Mister Longo and his wife

221
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: run a nonprofit animal rescue operation. Two of their animal charges,

222
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: a raccoon named Fred and a squirrel named Peanut, were

223
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: targeted by ever vigilant agents from the state Departments of

224
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 4: Environmental Conservation and Health. Said mister Longo to The New

225
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 4: York Post quote, they treated me like I was a terrorist.

226
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: They treated this raid as if I was a drug dealer.

227
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: They ransacked my house for five hours. They asked my wife,

228
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 4: who's of German descent, what her immigration status is. They

229
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: asked if I had cameras in my house. They wouldn't

230
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: allow me to go to the bathroom without a police escort,

231
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: who then checked the back of the toilet to see

232
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: if I was hiding anything there. So mister Longo took

233
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 4: in Peanut several seven years ago after the little baby

234
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: squirrel's mother was killed. Peanuts becomes something of a star

235
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. He publishes images of Peanut

236
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: behaving more like a domesticated house pet than a rodent

237
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 4: in the wild. But he took in a baby squirrel

238
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: and has had it for seven years and turned it

239
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: into an Instagram star.

240
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, in a pet.

241
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, but the squirrel cops raid his house, turn

242
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: it upside down for five hours, would and let him

243
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: go to the bathroom, grilled his wife about our immigration status,

244
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: which is illegal in that situation in New York. Then

245
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: took the two animals and euthanized them. Oh wow, killed

246
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: their pets allegedly to check for rabies after Peanut allegedly

247
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: bit one of the raiding agents on the hand, but

248
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: mister Longo says he saw no evidence of the bite

249
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: and the agents were wearing heavy gloves.

250
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, and it wouldn't have bit the agents if they hadn't.

251
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: Come in also, well right, yeah, And then the editorial

252
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: board of one of the most important newspapers in the

253
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: world concludes.

254
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: With too bad for peanut.

255
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: He didn't steal shelves worth of goods from a drug store.

256
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: He'd already be back safely at home. And if you

257
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: spend much time on Twitter, I refuse to call it X.

258
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: You know that James Woods the actor is an active

259
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: participant and writer, and I will not you know, I

260
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: mock celebrities who think their opinions matter because they're celebrities.

261
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: James Woods is a very bright guy who decided to

262
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: maximize his earning it potential through acting clearly. So he's

263
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: the right to have his opinions taken seriously in my mind.

264
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: And he's an actual genius, right, isn't that part of

265
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: his whole thing?

266
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's crazy, Bruce. He he's got whatever IQ that's

267
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: his deal. But anyway, anyway, so he makes.

268
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: The point on his Twitter feed and it was a

269
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: bit long winded, but about how certain scientific discs goveries,

270
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: though they seemed minor, upended the world of science. And

271
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: he said, this brings me to my point. The oh,

272
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: I'm trying to make the point that throughout history, the

273
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: most minor anomalies are often windows into a completely different

274
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: understanding of the world. This event where armed officers took

275
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: a pet squirrel from an individual in New York opens

276
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: a Pandora's box of the horrors of leftist tyranny. The

277
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: facts of the incident are disturbing enough. An anonymous instigator

278
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: over one thousand miles away reported a humble man who

279
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: had rescued a wounded squirrel and made him a pet

280
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: for years. The informer's motives in doing so can only

281
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: be guessed, but the owner of the pet had made

282
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: the horrific mistake in today's America of supporting conservative thought online.

283
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that, aeah, And that's thought that.

284
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: It's thought that.

285
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 4: That is why people started reporting him to New York

286
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: for housing a squirrel. A cadre of armed officers got

287
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: a search warrant, rummaged through the man's property for five hours,

288
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: illegally questions his wife about her immigration status, ultimately seizing

289
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: the pet and killing it without giving the owner any

290
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: recourse to save its life. Now, let's take a look

291
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 4: at the universe in which this macabre, horrid, little leftist

292
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: comedy took place. In a nation overrun by tens of

293
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: millions of illegal aliens, tens of millions folks crushed by

294
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: rampant crime and gang warfare, and during a thirty five

295
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 4: trillion dollar deficit, sole crushing inflation, a culture of infanticide

296
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: and child mutilation, sexual dysphoria and insanity, and waging illegal

297
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: lawfare against candidates of another party. New York State spent

298
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: a full day killing a squirrel that had been a

299
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: harmless pet cherished by its owners for literally years. The

300
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: event of itself was just an act of petty cruelty,

301
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: but as a window in a larger universe, it's a

302
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: fissure into the mantle of our world, signaling a cataclysmic

303
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: eruption that may well end this nation.

304
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. God.

305
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: I was going to use the example, maybe I'll talk

306
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: about this later of when we were going to get

307
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: into goat milk or goat soap and found out people

308
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: who had been raided in this state of California for

309
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: violating whatever, you know, crime everywhere, people doing all kinds

310
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: of crime everywhere, but a whole bunch of state agencies

311
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: will show up if you've got some illegal goat milk

312
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: or something whatever.

313
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: Good lad word free Josh Rogan on China next, really good,

314
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: don't miss it Strong and Getty.

315
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 6: This massive and pervasive hacking by China of US telecom

316
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 6: companies is significant. Your colleague Mark Warner said, it's most

317
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 6: significant breach he has ever seen in his entire time

318
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: on the committee. Do you know if China has been

319
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 6: able to access the audio of Americans phone calls?

320
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not going to comment on what the access,

321
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 7: but I agree with Mark Warner's statement, it is an egregious, outrageous,

322
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 7: and dangerous breach of our telecommunication systems across multiple companies.

323
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 7: I'll leave it at that. I think as time goes on,

324
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 7: we're going to learn more about it. Some of it

325
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 7: will be made public. I think there's more that's still

326
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 7: being gathered. It's a very serious situation that we face,

327
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 7: and I think one that is quite threatening, maybe not

328
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 7: directly to the election per se, but certainly to the

329
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 7: national security of our country moving forward. It's a vulnerability

330
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 7: that no one imagined or anticipated, but here it is.

331
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: It's interesting that he put it in the context of

332
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 3: the election.

333
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: That is the problem. We're so focused on the election.

334
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: This Giina Chinese hack of AT and T and Verizon,

335
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: and again, as you just heard, there maybe the biggest

336
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: hack that we've had in our nation's history. It's all

337
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: being run through the prism of the election. Did they

338
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: get anything on Trump or Harris that will affect the election?

339
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: And blah blah blah, and otherwise ignoring the fact that

340
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: Brennan asked at one point, were they actually listening to

341
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: our phone calls of American citizens? And Mark Rubia said, well,

342
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: I'm not going to comment on that.

343
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: What what that seems like a big story.

344
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: Josh Rogan wrote a terrific piece in The Washington Post

345
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: about this. Josh is the columnist for the Global Opinion

346
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: section of the Post, author of a terrific book, Chaos

347
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 4: under Heaven Trump she in the Battle for the twenty

348
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 4: first Century, among other things, and Josh joins us. Now, Josh,

349
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 4: this seems like the all time champion great significance to

350
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: little attention story of all time, or close to it.

351
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 8: Right in any sane world, this would be the most

352
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 8: important thing on the news right now. But the timing

353
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 8: of the election is actually kind of unfortunate because it's

354
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 8: overshadowing what one of my sources said is the biggest

355
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 8: intelligence breach in US history. Wow, and answer that, Marco

356
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 8: Ribo wanted to give but couldn't because it's classified information.

357
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 8: But I'm going to tell you anyway, is that yes,

358
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 8: they're listening to the audio real time phone calls and

359
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 8: watching the text messages in real time of hundreds, if

360
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 8: not thousands of American citizens. That they've been doing it

361
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 8: for a year, and they're embedded in the telecom systems

362
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 8: in a way that even our own intelligence community doesn't

363
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 8: fully understand. They don't know how to get them out,

364
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 8: they don't know if they can get them out. And

365
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 8: this is a problem that's just so big and so

366
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 8: hard to wrap your head around that the US companies

367
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 8: don't want to talk about it because it's embarrassing. They

368
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 8: don't have any answers, and if people really knew what

369
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 8: was going on, they would freak out. And the bottom

370
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 8: line is that the telecomps don't want to tell anybody

371
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 8: either because it's their systems that got hacked. But I

372
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 8: think what you heard from Warner and from Rubio in

373
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 8: that clip is that this is real, This is big,

374
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 8: and this is not going away.

375
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 9: It's only going to get worse.

376
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

377
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: So the Chinese have been into our biggest phone companies

378
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 3: for a year, and they don't know how to get

379
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: them out or if they can get them out.

380
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 8: It's even worse than that, because they not only did

381
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 8: they get are they into the phone companies, they got

382
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 8: through in the system that the phone company is built

383
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 8: for the FBI to do wire tapping on criminals and

384
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 8: spies and people talking with criminals.

385
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

386
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 9: FBI can only.

387
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 8: Do that theoretically with a legal warrant, but the Chinese

388
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 8: intelligence services don't care about that. So they have all

389
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 8: the access maybe not only to our phones and to

390
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 8: our text but also to all of the federal investigations

391
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 8: that are underway and all the counter intelligence operations that

392
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 8: are underway, which could be completely compromised everywhere around the world.

393
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 8: And how you deal with that is a whole other problem.

394
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Boy, to say, this is devastating.

395
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: I need to invent a new word to correctly convey

396
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: the seriousness of this astounding catacly Well, that seems like

397
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: a good word, And Josh, I hate to leap to

398
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: the libertarian you know angle of this immediately, but the

399
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 4: idea that the government and the phone companies assured us

400
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: that no, these portals into your private communications will only

401
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: be used for the most important of investigations and get

402
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: very serious, very safe rather has has always been you know,

403
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: exposed as a lie.

404
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 8: Right, There'll be a time for the politics of all

405
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 8: of this, but I have to agree that it proves

406
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 8: that when you build back doors for the government into

407
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 8: encrypted systems, things go wrong because those back doors are vulnerabilities,

408
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 8: and they get the bad guys as well as the

409
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 8: good guys can figure out how to get into them.

410
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 8: And there's another political angle too, which is the PISO

411
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 8: warrant issue, because if you're anywhere in Donald Trump's orbit,

412
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: you have a thing against PISO warrants because they were

413
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 8: used to spy on the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen,

414
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: and that's the same system. It's not the same issue,

415
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 8: but it's the same system. So there's a lot of

416
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 8: crazy tangents that will come out of this. But the

417
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 8: first thing is just for in my opinion, of Americans

418
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 8: to know that they're vulnerable so that they could do

419
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 8: something about it, so they can change their practices, and

420
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 8: to the telecom community, and for the intelligence community to

421
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 8: tell us what's going on, because that's what they're supposed

422
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 8: to do.

423
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 9: When something like this happened.

424
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: What's your worst case scenario for what China could do

425
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: with some of this information that they've gathered.

426
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 8: Well, I mean again, I think the worst case scenario,

427
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 8: hopefully that we won't see, is that they use it

428
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 8: to interfere in our politics in a direct way.

429
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 9: That's kind of what the Russians of the Irritians would do.

430
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 8: What it seems more likely is that they'll just save

431
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 8: it all and use it in intelligence ways for blackmail, disinformation,

432
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 8: deep fakes, you know, collecting on any American they want

433
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 8: for any time. So it's kind of like there's a

434
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 8: lot of worst case scenarios, and you know, there's no

435
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 8: way to sort of plan for all of them. But

436
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 8: it seems that the primary worst case scenario, which is

437
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 8: that our telecommunications networks are compromised, that's already here. That's

438
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 8: a pretty bad case scenario.

439
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Already, right.

440
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: I completely understand the concept of if they know all

441
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 4: of our secrets, the worst case scenario is they will

442
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: use them whenever they need to for the next one

443
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 4: hundred years.

444
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: But at the.

445
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: Same time, I'm sorry, I'm just so flabbergasted by the

446
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: notion that they have access to a great deal of

447
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: our counter intelligence.

448
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that is just so disastrous.

449
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 8: Right, So we have you know, not just counter intelligence

450
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: criminal investigations, any wire tap or surveillance that the FBI

451
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 8: or any other federal law enforcement is doing.

452
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 9: Those records are kept somewhere. Now this is kind of

453
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 9: a part we don't know, to be clear, we don't

454
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 9: know if they have that.

455
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 8: What we do know is that they, excuse me, collect

456
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 8: already collected audio on for example, former President Trump, jd Vance,

457
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 8: Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, members of the Harris campaign, congressional

458
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 8: staffers for Chuck Schumer, leading US business leaders, leading US

459
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 8: government officials.

460
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 9: We don't know their names.

461
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 8: So those are the people they've already spied on and

462
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 8: already have got stuff on. And the list keeps growing

463
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 8: every day the FBI finds out more people, and eventually

464
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 8: you have to think like, oh, maybe we should tell

465
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 8: those people, right, And the FBI has been reluctant to

466
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 8: do that because once they tell these people, these people

467
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 8: tell other people, and all of a sudden, people like

468
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 8: me start to figure out what's going on, and then

469
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, I got to tell the country, you know.

470
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 8: But you know, eventually there's this problem where people are

471
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 8: getting spied on. They need to know it okay. And

472
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 8: if the government doesn't want to tell us because they're

473
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 8: embarrassed about it, that's that's its own problem.

474
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: You know, the mar Josh Rogan Global Opinions come lists

475
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 4: or the Washington Posters online Chack go ahead.

476
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: And the more I think about it, it makes such sense.

477
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it is small ball for Shi or whoever

478
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 3: makes these decisions to try to affect the election.

479
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: He's thinking bigger than that.

480
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 3: I mean, he wants to influence policy on a major level,

481
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: or understand it ahead of time or whatever over whoever

482
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: ends up in the administration, maybe for years to come.

483
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, just you know, nudging the election one where

484
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: or another's probably small compared to their thoughts.

485
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 9: Well, that's right.

486
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 8: They'd rather preserve it for let's say, hypothetically, China invades

487
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 8: Taiwan and then we try to do something about it,

488
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 8: and then they shut down our telecomsystem. Not to mention

489
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 8: whatever else they're in, because this is just a piece

490
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 8: of the puzzle. The Chinese are also into our energy

491
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 8: systems and our manufacturing and construction systems, and you know,

492
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 8: our internet service providers. Do you imagine that's a pretty

493
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 8: big deterrent for us getting involved to try to save Taiwan.

494
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 8: If they're like, oh, we're just going to shut off

495
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 8: your internet and your phones and then we're going to

496
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 8: see what's what you know, So, yeah, they have their

497
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 8: own interest. So it's also not clear that the Chinese

498
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 8: have a clear preference between Harris and Trump. The Russians

499
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 8: want Harris, I'm sorry, the Russians want Trump, the Ranis

500
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 8: want Harris.

501
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 9: The Chinese can play it either way. So they're preparing

502
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 9: for both scenarios.

503
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 8: That's why they're spying on both camps because they want.

504
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 9: To be ready either way.

505
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: Right, And it occurs to me that you know, given

506
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 4: the openness of our democratic system and the fact that

507
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: the legislature weighs in on so many of the important

508
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 4: policies and topics visvr relationship with China going forward for

509
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: the next twenty years, you know, decoupling the economies, the farm,

510
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: big pharma, you know, tech, military technologies, chips, just all

511
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: of it.

512
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: All of that is going.

513
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: To go through the legislative process. And if they can

514
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: bring pressure to bear on one point six million people

515
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: who they have dossiers on having just talked to their

516
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: lover on the cell phone or texting their booky or whatever.

517
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: I mean, they are going to exert that pressure wherever

518
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: they can. Oh my god, what a what a what

519
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 4: a situation.

520
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 9: It's really bad.

521
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: You have got to be I mean, this is the

522
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: reason of your piece. Just shocked that it's not getting

523
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 3: more attention than it is.

524
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think, to be honest, guys, this

525
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 8: is why people inside the system brought this story to me.

526
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 8: One of them said, because they're taking a risk by

527
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 8: you know, telling me a lot of the classified information

528
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 8: knowing that I'm going to tell the world, because they

529
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 8: thought it was that important. One of them said to me, listen, Josh,

530
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 8: this is bigger than the election, and we can't afford

531
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 8: to let this get caught up in policy and you know,

532
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 8: again sort of the blame game and how it's going

533
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 8: to affect privacy and how it's going to you know,

534
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 8: the debate over Faise and the Russia Gate or whatever.

535
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 8: My sore said to me, listen, that's not but that's

536
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 8: not the most important thing right now. The people need

537
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 8: to know because the response has to have a fire

538
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 8: lit under it, because the telecom companies and the FBI

539
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 8: and the intelligence community are bearing this thing now, are

540
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 8: they burying it because.

541
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 9: Of the election.

542
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 8: Know, they're probably bearing it because they don't know what

543
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 8: they're do. You know, they don't know what to do,

544
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 8: you know, And it's it's really, it's just such a

545
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 8: huge problem that you know, people are going to get

546
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 8: freaked out, but better than they get freaked out by

547
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 8: the truth and not. And I don't see any reason

548
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 8: to wait election or no election to tell people that

549
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 8: they're at risk.

550
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Did I just have an acid flashback?

551
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 4: Or did your source say to you, Josh, this is

552
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 4: bigger than the election.

553
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 9: That's a direct quote, you know, bigger than the election.

554
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 3: Okay, and good well, you're you're gonna be the Woodward

555
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: and Bernstein of this story. Then we will keep an

556
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 3: eye on your column and uh, you know, and your

557
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: Twitter feed on this one, because this has got legs.

558
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Oh my goodness.

559
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 8: I'll let you know when I get another piece of it,

560
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 8: because this is gonna get worse.

561
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 9: BEFO is better.

562
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

563
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Thank you.

564
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: We have a link to Josh's whole piece at the

565
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: top of hot Links Armstrong and getty dot com. Josh

566
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: always enlightening in a pleasure. Thanks a million, good day.

567
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: We are so Jack, just real quick. I'm looking at

568
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 4: the top of the most red opinion pieces in the

569
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: uh the waffhole right now. Number one, who's going to

570
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: win on election Day? Here are eight columnist predictions. Number two,

571
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: women can send Trump packing? Number three can you guess

572
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: who people will vote for? Try this quiz? Number four?

573
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: If Trump loses Pennsylvania, he'll have no one to blame

574
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: but himself. Fifth, it's about abortion.

575
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: And I a lefty friend who was always so into

576
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: who was president and Trump and then this and that,

577
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: And I could never get them into a conversation about

578
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: China or anything, you know, big, because they always go

579
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: back to the election. That's way a lot of people are.

580
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: And how about how about sources going to Josh Rogan

581
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: because they know he's into this sort of stuff, saying, Okay,

582
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: we got to give you some information. Print a piece

583
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: about this. Nobody's paying attention. It's bigger than the election.

584
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: It's the biggest hack of our systems in US history

585
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: by China, our number one enemy, and it's getting no coverage.

586
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: And Margaret Brennan throws it in at the end, after

587
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: arguing about Trump and what he said about Liz Cheney,

588
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: she throws around at the very end after like an

589
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: eight minute interview, as an after thoughts, as an after thought.

590
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, wow, well golly, how do we transition?

591
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: We can't.

592
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 4: A quick word from our longtime friends at Warrior Foundation

593
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 4: Freedom Station. Absolutely wonderful organization. We've been supporting four years

594
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: and years, and they're looking for your help.

595
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

596
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: Celebrating their twenty year anniversary, and we have talked about

597
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: it for years.

598
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna do the same thing.

599
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: We've helped them raise money four years to fly ill

600
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: and injured Marine soldiers and sailors home for the holidays.

601
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: But it takes some money to do that.

602
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 4: Everyone deserves to spend the holidays with their loved ones,

603
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 4: especially the men and women who've so bravely sacrificed for

604
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: our country. And we've seen it firsthand how Warrior Foundation

605
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: continues to make a huge impact in the lives of

606
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 4: our warriors with your support.

607
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: This year, they're building their third transitional housing property designed

608
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: to craft a sense of community, promote recovery, and cultivate

609
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: independence for our warriors.

617
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: Mean thing about whoever?

618
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: And arguing about that for days and ignoring the fact

619
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: that world history is not going to change. There's always

620
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: a battle for who's in charge of what, and China

621
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: wants to take over and they just had and they

622
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: just you know, had a huge, huge win and get

623
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: your go ahead. If you talk to one thousand people today,

624
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: how many people would know this story.

625
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: And I'm picturing Shijinping. They're in Beijing saying, oh my god,

626
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,239
Speaker 4: they discovered our hack. What are the Americans saying? And

627
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: his advisers saying, nobody's really noticed. They're not talking about

628
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: it at all. Other than the Armstrong and Getty show.

629
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: We got a lot more on the way. Stay here.

630
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: Arizona police the.

631
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: Rest of the man for allegedly trying not to lose

632
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: his home by keeping his late father's body in a

633
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: backyard freezer.

634
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: He's being charged with making a popsickle. It's a terrible joke.

635
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: I agree. So did you see the second skit or

636
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: the first skit?

637
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: I guess. After the monologue on Sordayn Live, I thought

638
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: it was so good, No Sir missed us.

639
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: So John Mulaney, the comedian, was the host, and so

640
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: he did his stand up routine as the monologue, which

641
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: was very, very funny as always. But anyway, they did

642
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 3: this skit a game show, which is a common Saturday

643
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: Night live mechanism for things, and it was What's My Name,

644
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 3: which they've done before, but in this particular version, they

645
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: have John Mulaney playing one of the contestants on the

646
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: game show What's My Name? And he's a liberal who

647
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: is really concerned about the election. It's the most important

648
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 3: election of his life. Time blah blah, blah blah. And

649
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: so the game show host says, okay, fantastic, here's our

650
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: first guest, what's his name? And out walks and I

651
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: couldn't name him. When he walked out, I recognized him,

652
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: but I couldn't name him either. It was Tim Kaine,

653
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton's running mate in twenty sixteen, right, right, right,

654
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: And the host of the game show says, you called

655
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: the election in twenty sixteen the most important election in

656
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: US history. What's this guy's name?

657
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: Ah?

658
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: Boy?

659
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: And you know, John Baliney asked the guess those shows, like, I, ah,

660
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: is that Tim Walls? He looks kind of like Tim Walls,

661
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: but it's not Tim Walls. But anyway, just making the

662
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: whole point obviously that we call this the most important

663
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: thing that's ever happened, and a few years later the guy's.

664
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Standing right in front of you and you don't even

665
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: know his name. Right.

666
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: Also, I thought the other funny joke was it was

667
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: some somebody but who had been wrong, some group of

668
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: women that had been wrong somehow by the evil right wing.

669
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: You tweeted out years ago, say their names, and you

670
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: listed all their names. Can you give one of their names?

671
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: You tweeted out all their names, Uh, say their names?

672
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: Name one of them? And he couldn't, of course, because

673
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 3: it's all just a hashtag hashtag activism act.

674
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: But I thought that was pretty funny.

675
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: I couldn't name the guy either, and I was pretty

676
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 3: you know, follow politics for a living, and I just like, eh,

677
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 3: he looks familiar.

678
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: I know he's a senator, right. It was uh, oh god,

679
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: that's funny. This is not funny.

680
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: You thought it was bad enough that the Chinese have

681
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 3: hacked into your cell phone and are listening maybe listening

682
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 3: to your calls. Actually can listen to individual calls. Marco

683
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: Rubio didn't deny that anyway. Back to this, giant spiders

684
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: the size of human hands are breeding faster than ever

685
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: in England.

686
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: Oh no a zoo.

687
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, Go released thousands of fen

688
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: raft spiders. I never heard of that particular breed of spider.

689
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: After the species was found to be in decline and

690
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 3: worried about it going extinct, so they released all these spiders.

691
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: Now a good idea.

692
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: Now has often happens when man intervenes in these sorts

693
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: of things. It's gotten completely out of control. And they

694
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: have at least ten thousand breeding females that have had

695
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 3: the biggest mating season on record. And there are again,

696
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: spiders the size of your hand breeding so fast they

697
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: can't keep up with them.

698
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: And I don't even have particularly big hands, but I'm terrified.

699
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: Well I'm looking at the picture. That's a big a spider.

700
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would shriek if you saw that, Like you

701
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: pull back your sheets to get into bed.

702
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 4: Ah ten thousand breeding females. We got to get them

703
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 4: the pill. Or of course, hey, ladies, cross your eight legs.

704
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 4: All right, just because some smooth talking erected maybe Zandia

705
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 4: doesn't mean you got to give up the goods.

706
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: Save that for marriage.

707
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: They won't breed in from America Handmaids tale. We all

708
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: know how that's going to work. We need to talk

709
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: a little more about the election in hour three as

710
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: it is tomorrow a little The funniest polling statistic that

711
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: I've come across.

712
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: You've got to hear this if you haven't heard it.

713
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty
