WEBVTT - I Can't Get Off The Etch A Sketch 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.680 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.680 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm Strong and Getty and 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:17.279 now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.040 The President eager to get the bill across the finish 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.160 line as we see prices rising amid the trade war. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.240 He launched at Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, the cost 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.159 of some toys way up. A baby born doll that 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.360 cost thirty four ninety seven in March now costs forty 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.280 nine ninety seven, up roughly forty three percent last month. 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.760 An etches sketch cost fourteen ninety seven. Now it's twenty 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.040 four to ninety nine, a nearly sixty seven percent increase. 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.440 Wow, the humble let's just sketch twenty five bones. 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:54.920 That's wrong. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.040 Wow, that's not a minor increase in price. Well, in 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.960 that baby born a you might as well have a 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.919 real baby at that price to that Wow, the humble 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.960 edge of sketch doubling in price. Yeah, frustrating its artistic 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:17.560 so Elon Musk blaming the calling the bill an abomination. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.880 We will get into that more later, because that's one 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.880 of the lead stories today, and the fact that it's 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.560 the lead story is kind of its own story. But 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.880 in addition to the big giant bill going through economically, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.680 we got this tariff situation. I mean, I'd like to 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.200 know how many more prices there at the Walmart have 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.399 gone up that much. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:42.240 That's a lot, right, right, Yeah, that's shocking. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.039 I'm sorry. I can't get off the. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.600 Edge of sketches is an example. I mean, at this point, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.920 you can use a free app type for ten seconds 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.600 and generate a professional quality illustration of Joe Biden surfing 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.840 on the back of a dolphin smoking a bong in mallow. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.400 And I want to do the sketch the stairstep stairsteps, stairstep, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.400 stairsteps stairstep exactly painstakingly. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.280 If you jostle it at all and it ruins all 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.320 your work. Yes, that instead of the uh chat GPT 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.040 or what have you. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.720 Uh So, it's funny. I had a thought as we. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.680 Were getting the material together for this segment, I'm picturing 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.440 myself back in college and no need for gladys. This 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.520 didn't actually happen taking some you know, high level political 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.079 science class where they said, all right, we're gonna describe 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.160 this scenario for you. You have two superpowers, one well established, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.280 one rising. They are mortal enemies in sworn to dominate 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.320 each other, and yet they have a huge and life 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:49.160 sustaining trade relationship. Hostilities begin now keeping in mind each 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.520 country's best interests. How do you think lovedon? I would 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:52.239 I would think. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.120 Wait, wait, how did they get? But why would they 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.200 have that rip? Who's whose ideal was this? This is undenable, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.600 there's no sill to this. I'd throw out my hands. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:02.600 And yet here we are. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:18.960 It's time to look in the China Cabinet Trade Edition, China. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.839 That's right, that makes me laugh every time. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.480 Not very cleverly named a look in the China Cabinet. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.520 As we consider number of stories about China again all 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.960 Trade Edition. First of all, Gavey knew someome of cal 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.960 Unicornia and Karen Bass and others are about to engage 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:42.880 in a closed door meeting with Chinese trade officials as 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.080 part of GAVI's attempt to establish California as some sort 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:52.000 of quasi nation. I suppose then have happy, joy joy 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.480 meetings with various Chinese corporations and trade officials, and that 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.560 sort of thing. Worth noting that, in a public warning, 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.280 a couple of years ago, during the horrific Biden years, 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.680 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.200 state and local officials are at risk of being manipulated 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:12.040 to support China Chinese government's agenda, particularly through trade and investment. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:12.520 Quote. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.320 Financial incentives may be used to hook US state and 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.719 local leaders given their focus on local economic issues, the 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:24.920 bulletin said, but Gavey will be hobnobbing with the Chinese communists. Nonetheless, 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.359 moving along, here's the headline for you. You may have 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.039 heard that Trump, you know, hit China with the tariffs 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.040 and various tip tat retaliation took place. And one thing, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.520 Sijin Ping and his new guy is new negotiator who 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.159 will talk about in a second if we have time. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.920 He's a hard ass. He is interestingly Jack his name 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.800 is he? So you got he and she in charge 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.359 of China at this point. Slightly confused. I don't like 0:04:53.400 --> 0:05:00.120 the pronouns heterosexual couple anyway. Anyway, he's a hard ass 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.800 and he is advice jan paying. Look, they need the 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.440 pressure of the rare earth materials for their magnets for 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.680 all sorts of technologies. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.479 We just won't give them any rare stuff. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.919 And or a couple of months ago they said they would, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.520 but they're slow walking it badly. So the headline is 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.480 automakers race to find workaround to China's stranglehold on rare 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:25.200 earth magnets. Listen to this now, major manufacturers, fearful they 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.040 will have to shut down assembly lines both on electric 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:33.520 and conventional vehicles, are considering moving some parts production to China. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:40.200 They're fearful they might have to shut down the production vehicles, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.599 or mister President, move their production of certain parts to 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:54.240 China to avoid complete factory shutdowns. Automakers end up shifting 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.480 production to China, it would amount to a remarkable outcome 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.080 for a trade boar initiated by President Trump. That's what's 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.680 going to say, remarkable outcome. That's not exactly what the 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:07.320 plan was. A couple of the rare earth metals included 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:13.640 in the consideration Jack include disprosy. I was so excited 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.040 about pronouncing that, right, disprosium and urbium. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.279 Urbium is a metal. You know we ought to play 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.840 rare earth mineral or made up? Yeah, no kidding, I 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:26.960 think I bought you this ring. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.200 It's made of turbium, very rare, and the band dysprosium. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.480 Oh moving along. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.679 China's new trade negotiator is a hard ass. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.400 This is he, he to she. 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:47.240 The previous guy was a US educated realist who is like, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.640 all right, we both need to make money. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:49.840 Let's stay cool now. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.120 This guy is a deaded communist, dedicated communist, and a 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:58.080 loyalist to shij and Ping. He a firm believer in 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.440 state control just like his boss. She has a clear 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.200 mandate of not catering to America. Last month's Geneva deal, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.880 which China saw as a win, showed she the value 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.080 of sticking to his guns, according to people who consult 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.400 with senior Chinese officials, so they have decided to get 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.880 tougher and strategically. She feels empower to harden his position 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.240 from the first term of Trump because the arsenal of 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.040 trade tools China's built under his leadership include export controls 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.800 of critical materials used to make this the rarest stuff 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.120 we were talking about, and some other stuff but that 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.080 are necessary to make chips, cars and the F thirty 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.960 five jets. So it gives China the ability to cause 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.480 real pain for the US. And finally, anybody who's done 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.760 business with China's familiar with the idea of industrial espionage. 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.600 The self driving truck startup that siphon trade secrets to 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.880 Chinese companies. It's a company called Too Simple, Tu Simple, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.280 and I want you to maybe have a uh TikTok 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.760 in the back of your mind or the idea of, well, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.400 it's a Chinese company, but it's not, you know, it's 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.840 not a state run enterprise. A week after one of 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.520 America's largest self driving truck companies promised the US government 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.240 it would stop sharing sensitive technology with Chinese partners, Too 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.280 Simple transferred a trove. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.400 Of data to a Beijing owned firm. Why were there 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.200 a lot of deep Why were we sharing it in 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:28.960 the first place? 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.360 Let me get to that they want a lot of details, 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.480 said Jooling Han, us based Too Simple Holdings employee to 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.000 a colleague. Leading Chinese commercial truck manufacturer Photon, sought the 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:46.080 data from Too Simples many test drives around Texas very 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:52.640 time consuming, expensive, technologically challenging test drives of self driving 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.559 trucks all over Texas. Too Simple was the leader in 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.120 the global race to develop self driving trucks that could 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.719 solve chronic drive shortages, make freight hauling cheaper, bolster military operations. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.640 Founded by two Chinese entrepreneurs with money from a Chinese 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.079 business mogul. The San Diego based company set a record 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.400 when it structs traveled eighty miles in Arizona without a 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:20.559 human driver, and the minute the Chinese based firm said hey, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.040 we need all your data, they send it all. That 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:30.239 is emblematic of what I'm always ranting about that Chinese nationals, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.400 whether now or in the future, will be on the 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:40.240 hook for Shesion Ping's orders, all of them, every single one. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.079 So what do I want to round up every Chinese 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.679 American or Chinese student in the car? No, of course not. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:51.040 It's a impractical and be unnecessary. But the awareness that 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:55.920 that possibility is not only like extant that it. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.079 Exists, but it looms large. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.280 If you've got a a company started by two Chinese 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:08.560 citizens I think uh founded by two Chinese entrepreneurs with 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.559 money from a Chinese business mogul based in San Diego, 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.000 it's a troubling look inside the China cabinet. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.520 If we end up losing to China or being surpassed 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.800 by China number of ways. The way we allowed that 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.320 to happen is one of the biggest stories in history. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.240 It's like Athens and Sparta stuff. I mean it's just huge. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.080 Yeah, it's the Trojan Horse, but over the course of 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:45.800 decades and an enormously complex operation. But the Chinese never 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.400 underestimate your enemy. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:48.000 You know. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.240 Not only did Sung two say that, but many generals 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:58.840 have throughout history, military theoreticians, they understand American people a 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.960 are super business horps it. If there's money to be made, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:07.000 we're interested. And secondly, we're friendly and open hearted, and 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.040 we think everybody else is too until they've stabbed us twice. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.520 They could stab us once and we think, well, maybe 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.240 that was a mistake because we're so naive about other 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.600 cultures around the world. So you combine that, you know, 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.880 business friendliness with just an open heartedness, and we're incredibly 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.920 easy to deceive as a people. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.120 That's a nice little feature you put together there. I 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.600 got a handful of things that don't fit into any feature. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.679 I just think they're interesting. Something somebody heard in a 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.560 government meeting yesterday that I found funny new movie that's out, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.720 a biopic that I'm kind of interested in. A bunch 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.240 of other stuff on the way mine more details coming 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:53.240 out on that Ukrainian strike in Russia. Freaking fascinating, lots 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:54.319 of stuff on the way, stay here. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.920 Colorado Rockies became the third fastest team to reach fifty 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.959 losses in an MLB history, making them the worst team 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.560 in the last one hundred and twenty five years. In response, 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.880 the team has announced that at future games they're changing 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.120 take me out to the ballgame to take me out 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.360 behind the shed and kill me. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.040 Wow, it's a little dark kind of joke of that. Hey, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.000 they'll turn it around. You're gonna bring some boys up 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:25.600 from Triple A. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.280 It'll be fine. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.800 Remember, originally the Colorado need to gold yeller on them. Yes, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.559 Originally when the Colorado Rocky started playing, it was the 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.600 air is so thin and home runs unfair advantage, blah 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.120 blah blah. Now they're the worst team in one hundred 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:39.000 and twenty five years. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.160 So yeah, whoops. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.280 A number of things for you just came across this. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.360 The Army has met its recruitment goal four months early. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.640 That's a different vibe that we apparently have in the 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.680 country going right now than was happening under oh Man Biden. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.320 Different story. This is from a government meeting. I'll be 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.680 very vague. I don't want to get anybody in trouble 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.000 who told me yesterday at this government meeting they were at. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.400 It was an all day meeting. At the start of 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.640 one of the meetings, a woman raised her hand and 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.840 tearfully asked that the speaker stop saying you guys because 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:24.000 it was gender hurtful. So now the speaker says, y'all, wow, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.560 I know it's hard to believe that actually exists. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:32.840 Please then not use gendered language to advress everyone. Again. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.079 That's the you people are crazy morons. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.640 Meme of like a decade ago, or certainly five years ago. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.040 When did the NBA Finals start? Michael? Is that tonight? 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.880 I believe so. Yeah, Pacers and City. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:48.160 Yeah. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.439 And I think the Thunder just gonna win the whole thing. Yeah. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.640 I don't know what the ratings are going to be 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.560 like either, anyway, Uh, just gonna mention this. The Knicks 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.160 had the best run, the New York Kniggs had the 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.000 best run they'd had in a quarter of a century, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.480 and they fired the code because they didn't make it further. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.400 I have been with my favorite teams on the wrong 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.960 end of this many times. You have the best season 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.000 you've ever had, but don't make it all the way 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.839 to your fiery coach, and then it's another quarter century. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.840 Before you ever get close again. I don't understand that. Yeah, 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.600 we would have gone all the way if it weren't 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:18.880 for that. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.040 More on, let's switch everything out because we're automatically going 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.280 to be as good next year. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.240 Yeah. Anyway, that's a funny thing that happens in sports. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.040 Speaking of sports, a biopick coming out about one of 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.320 the more fascinating people in all of history of sports, 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:40.160 Raiders coach, then popular announcer than video game mogul. As 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.480 my son is super into playing Madden right now, John Madden. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.040 Have you seen the pictures of Nicholas Cage as John Madden? 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.880 I have not let me test Cage. Let me text 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.080 that to everybody right now. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.160 Yeah, Nicholas Cage is going to play John Madden in 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.640 the bio pick And in this picture right here, he 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.600 looks exactly like young John Madden, who used to stroll 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.640 the line with his shaggy hair the sidelines as the 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.520 coach of the Oakland Raiders. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:05.720 So looks pretty good to me. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.720 I'd like to see a biopic of Nicholas Cage, who 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.040 will like make any movie that will write him a check, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:16.320 no matter how ridiculous and is an extremely gifted actor. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.560 Oh yeah, I mean he's had some great role goes 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.400 back and forth between super amazing art and then just 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.840 crap for a bacheic Maybe that's how he funds. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.960 The art, right sure. And then for some reason yesterday 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.960 I came across this. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.120 I know this was a story like six months ago, 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.120 the whole you can stop a baby from crying by 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.280 throwing a slice of cheese on their head? Have you 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.440 ever actually watched in these videos? 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.880 Not that I recall, pretty entertaining. It's lots sounds like it. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.280 It's lots and lots of babies crying, and then you 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.640 throw a slice of that, you know, not really cheese, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.560 American cheese on their head, and. 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.440 You're not throwing it at the baby. You're just tossing 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.560 it their head. Pretty close to throwing it at the baby. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.120 I don't yeah it throwing it at the baby. You 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.000 throw the cheese I'm not comfortable slaps on their head 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.800 and then they stop crying, which is not surprising in 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.640 that if you know, if you've had a crying baby 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.360 and you say. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.720 Hey, now what's going on? Who's who's in a good mood? 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:13.160 You know, you can. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.640 You can just you just interrupt their flow or what 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.360 they're thinking about. Often they stopped crying, but so will 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.800 slice the cheese apparently, But it's pretty funny. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.200 Yes, yes, Katie, I don't know about the baby one, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.160 but I have seen the trend where people are doing 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.280 this with their cats. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.680 Oh really, hey, so I'm behind your toddlers of body training. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.640 Isn't going well? Hit them in the head with a ham? 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.000 I mean, what the hell? This is child abuse. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.920 I won't sit around chuckling about this so dary product 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.520 involved child abuse? 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.600 What do you do with the slice of cheese and 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.240 the cat? I mean, what what? What reaction are you 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:50.880 trying to get? 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.400 Exact same thing as the baby? 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.720 They just kind of lean back and you know, did 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.080 you to figure out why. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.800 You just toss a piece of cheese on my head? 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:00.600 Cheese my face? 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.400 It is definitely an interrupter if you will, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.760 yeah yeah, it gets your. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.080 Where was I before this cheese was thrown on my head? Ah? Yes, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.359 the crying more news of the day. Ah what Elon 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:15.879 Musk said, ooh drama. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.000 I feel a little complicit in this, although I still 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.919 think it was an interesting story. So There is a 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.160 been a couple of profiles on the daughter of the 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:37.399 weird flamethrower psychopath terrorist uh Boulder suspect's daughter dreamed of 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:38.280 studying medicine. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.600 Now she faces deportation. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.359 US day to day has As somebody pointed out, I'm 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.080 glad you USA Today found the real victim. They've done 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.200 zero profiles and any of the people burned in the attack. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.040 Right, Yeah, USA Today is shameless. Yeah. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.480 It is interesting though that it seems his daughter is 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.520 an American loving successful What a great country where a 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.280 woman can be a doctor person and her dad is 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.119 a nut job? 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.480 Is lomiest scumbag? Yes? 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.800 Correct, coming up next segment. And I don't think I'm 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:15.879 over selling this. I've figured it all out. I don't 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.080 think I'm over selling this. I've figured it all out. 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.080 We're talking the national debt and deficit and what the 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.280 future is going to be. Just because I've figured it 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.040 out doesn't mean you're gonna like it. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.040 Stay with us. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.880 My son hits me with that every once in a while. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.840 You know that I've figured out the meaning of life. 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:38.800 Okay, finally, Yes, So this's got a lot of attention. Yesterday, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.960 Peter Doocey in the White House press room. 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.000 This gets to the whole auto pen. Who was running 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.280 the country. Did Joe Biden know what he was doing? 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:50.480 Story? 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.680 Look at these last minute pardons, the big ones, Biden siblings, 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.560 Fauci January sixth Committee. Most of the big ones had 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.760 the same, very neat signature. We would expect that probably 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:08.760 to be the auto pen. There is one that looks different, 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.960 It looks authentic. Is this White House of the opinion 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.480 that the only pardon that would count is one of 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.080 the presidents signed himself. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:18.679 Very interesting. 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.240 The President is making a good point when he discusses 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.240 the usage of the autopen. Who was running the country 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.520 for the past four years. Perhaps those documents were signed 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.080 with the autopen. Something that this I believe the Department 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.600 of Justice is looking into. As you saw Ed Martin 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.840 made an announcement at the Department of Justice this morning 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.920 to launch an investigation because the American people deserve answers. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.320 So we have James Colmer, he's head of the committee. 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.720 I'll just sum up for him so he can move on. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.200 He says they're going to bring some White House staffers 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.600 in front of Congress and do some grilling and we'll see. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.280 But it is kind of interesting that in that flurry 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.000 of last minute pardons there's a bunch that appear to 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.480 be the auto pen. It's hard to argue that Biden 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.600 wasn't behind those, since it was his own family and everything. 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.240 But then there's one extra with a different signature. Did 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.879 somebody slide that in? And you know the most of 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.080 the most of these or was that the only one 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:19.320 the Mummy was aware of? 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.879 True? True? Yeah? 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.640 Yeah, and yeah, and the whole the whole move there 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:29.600 in the last week to take drug offenders and move 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:35.719 their life sentence to probation or whatever. Was that super 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.320 progressive staff members that were into that, or was that 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.919 a big Joe Biden caused his whole life? And I 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:41.800 remember at the time it. 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.840 Seemed kind of weird. Yeah. 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.280 I still predicted very little will come of this because 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.760 it's going to be impossible to nail down anything significant. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.159 But yeah, there was the Pollit Buro, as Tapper and 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.760 Thompson called them in the book, were running the White 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.360 House to a large extent. I just I'm not sure 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.560 there's any goal at the end of this rainbow. 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.200 Which is disappointing. But then there's one story I forget 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.040 what the policy was. But when Mike Johnson became Speaker 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.600 of the House, he met finally got to meet with 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.760 Joe Biden, and he said, why did you sign the 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.359 whatever it was, because that, you know, hurts this and 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:15.439 hurts that and everything like that. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.280 And Joe Biden said, I didn't sign that. I'm still 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.720 studying that. And Johnson said, no, you signed it. 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.359 So either the old senile man forgot he signed it, 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:27.560 which is perfectly believable. I mean, he talked about a 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.560 woman being dead, then two minutes later asked to talk 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.760 to her, so you know. 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.000 He told the same story twice back to. 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.800 Back, right, So he could forget signing a bill, or 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.680 somebody signed it for him and he didn't know. 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:41.920 Which is also possible. 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:45.960 Yeah, at the time, I took it to be a 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:50.760 senility story, but it absolutely could be, you know the latter. Yeah, 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.760 I'm not saying don't investigate it because it's an interesting question. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.280 I heard somebody say the other day. Not somebody. It 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.080 wasn't like the guideline at the grocery store. 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.480 It was a learned commentator saying, you know, the only 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.199 thing that the constitution says the president actually has to 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:08.959 sign is a bill, but I don't know there are 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.840 probably statutes surrounding that. That's just something I heard coming up. 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.199 I've figured it all out. Stay with wow. 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:18.960 Yeah, you know I would go ahead and be late 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:23.080 for work to hear it all has been figured out. 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:30.760 Yeah. I'm still waiting for the Joe Getty Cold Warrior jingle, 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:37.440 which I've requested because I have some more China news reasons. 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.880
