I catch every disease that 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 4: comes anywhere near me for some reason, and I have 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: for the first time in my life, and I've never 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: had this, and I have mocked people who have had 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 4: it for some reason as being remember when we mocked 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 4: Bob Costas when he had pink eye when he was 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 4: on the Olympics years ago, And I don't know, well, 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 4: I mocked him and Joe would say I shouldn't mock him, 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 4: and it turns out apparently I was right, But I don't. 28 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 4: My eye is not pink. I have pink eye. My 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 4: eye is in no way pink. It just it would 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 4: really really hurt. I really hurt. 31 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: I thought I had something in my eye. 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 4: So I finally it kept getting worse, and so I 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: went to the doctor yesterday and they looked remember, and 34 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 4: they said, you have bacterial conjunctivitis, which I think is 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 4: the official name. You have pink eye, and it's very 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: very contagious and you should not be around people. But 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: I came into work yesterday very very contagious. Do you 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 4: have pink eye, Michael, I'm not as of yet. I mean, 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: I guess I should go get it checked out. Have 40 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: you ever had it before, long time ago, like as 41 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: a kid. Yeah, kids get it a lot because it 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: is really contagious. I feel like Hanson had it once. 43 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: That those are just bloodshot eyes. 44 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, usually your eye gets all pink and I don't 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 4: remember people talking about pain. 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: My mine is not pink but really really hurts AnyWho. 47 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 4: They gave me some antibiotics that I squirt my eyes 48 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 4: and supposed to go away in a couple of days. 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: But I wonder. 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: The fact that I catch all these diseases. I mean, like, 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: I'm I exercise all the time. Why do I get 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: all these diseases? I wonder if I touch my face. 53 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: More than the average person. Somebody ever noticed that? Do 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: I constantly have my fingers in my eyes? Maybe? 55 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: I don't know, Hm, I don't know what I catch 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: every disease it comes down the pipe. And I hope 57 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: you didn't touch any surfaces that I touched yesterday and 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: it touched your face anybody at the radio station, or 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: you're gonna have pink eye and then you're gonna give 60 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: it to your kids and your whole Fourth of July 61 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 4: is gonna be ruined. 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: Do you put your head in your hands a lot? 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: You know? 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: I do? I do do that in despair. Yeah, lots 65 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 4: of putting my head in my hands like this in despair. 66 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: I'll bet that's what it is. 67 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: And that's how I catch colds and pink eye and 68 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: all the other things. That I get. 69 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: So a number of things that we're gonna talk about today, 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: and we got some good guests to line up. 71 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: But the. 72 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 4: Wanna be socialist take over of the Democratic Party continues 73 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: to be a really interesting story. I think, is this 74 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: a big deal or not that these Mamdani backed socialists 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: won all their races on Tuesday. One thing that's happening 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: here is it reminds me of the Tea Party back 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: in the day, which Joe and I got pretty involved in. 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: Liked a ton of what the Tea Party believed and 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: stood for at the time, but in a rush to 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: have candidates, the Tea Party put a bunch of people 81 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 4: forward that won nominations because anybody had Tea Party attached 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: to them one primaries, and then you dug into their 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 4: background and they turned it to be out to be 84 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 4: crazy people are idiots or just bad candidates, but sometimes 85 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: crazy people and idiots. And it seems like this is 86 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 4: happening with the Democratic Party in a similar way, and 87 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: that anybody who had Democratic Socialists attached to them one 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: primaries and now they're really digging into the backgrounds of 89 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: some of these people and they're a little crazier or 90 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: scarier than you realized, and. 91 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: Then they might. 92 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: Well, these crazy candidates kind of destroyed the momentum of 93 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: the Tea Party back in the day because it made 94 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 4: mainstream people who weren't paying that close attention to think 95 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 4: the Tea Party was full of nuts, which it wasn't. 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 4: But a lot of nuts won primaries, and we're a 97 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: bad look. And I'm hoping that actually happens for the 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 4: Democratic Socialists that for a lot of mainstream people that 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 4: looks like they got a lot of nuts. 100 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: For instance, this one woman that won. Digging through her background. 101 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 4: She once demanded the total this is a quote total 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 4: eradication of Western civilization. Now that's a heck of a 103 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: thing to run on in the United States of America. 104 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 4: A total eradication of Western civilization that is out there anyway. 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: I found that on US Senator John Fetterman's Twitter feed, 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: you know John Fetterman, of the hoodie and the stroke 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 4: of the Democrat from Pennsylvania who actually linked that quote 108 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: from that woman, a fellow Democrat, although he distances distances 109 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: himself a lot from the Socialists, he linked that comment 110 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: about the total eradication of Western civilization. 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: US Senator John Fetterman said. 112 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 4: Anti Israel, anti America, anti Western civilization. Why am I 113 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: the only Democrat in the US Senate that refuses to 114 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 4: excuse this or defend any of those self identified communists? 115 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: And that is the problem the Democratic Party is gonna 116 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 4: have going forward to November. Chuck Schumer just kind of 117 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: humming a hummaa hummeted on Tuesday night and yesterday. Are 118 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 4: they going to come out and say, no, we don't 119 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: believe government owned grocery stores or closing the prisons or 120 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: opening the borders or any of this crap these communists 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 4: to believe, or are they gonna kind of just play 122 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: foot see with them at least until November to have 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: all the energy and the young people from that side, 124 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: in which case they are going to get eaten by 125 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 4: their own. 126 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: Lack of honesty. So got more on that. 127 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: The Dispatch has a great piece on that today, that 128 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 4: the Democratic Party doesn't know what to do with the 129 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 4: socialists in the same way that the Republican Party didn't 130 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 4: know what to do Trump and Maga when it hit 131 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: the scene, and Trump and Maga took over the Republican 132 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 4: Party and is run it for a decade. Now, Is 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: that gonna happen with the socialists mom Nani's crowd with 134 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: the Democrats. 135 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, And do I hope for that or not hope 136 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: for that? I think I don't hope for that. 137 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: I mean, it would be bad for the Democratic Party, 138 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: but it would also be bad for America. I think 139 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 4: I think we would ultimately reject it and come out 140 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 4: the other side. But yeah, there's no there's no good 141 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: in having socialists to win anywhere. 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the 143 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: warmth of collectivism. 144 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 4: Pitching collectivism as a good thing after the twentieth century 145 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 4: and the millions dead because of that very ideology is 146 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 4: really something I never saw coming. 147 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll have a lot more on that later. 148 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 4: Excited about the USA Turkey today, we are gonna stuff 149 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: the Turkey. We're gonna slaughter the Turkey. We're gonna ring 150 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: the neck of the Turkey. Today is the United States 151 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: is never gone three in oh in group play in 152 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 4: the World Cup. 153 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: Before, they hadn't made the medal round since twenty ten. 154 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: But so we are going to make it to the 155 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: next round. 156 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 4: And no matter what happens with Turkey today, but it'd 157 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: be nice to beat Turkey today. 158 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: And then go undefeated for the. 159 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 4: Go undefeated for the first time ever in group play, 160 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: and we should be able to beat Turkey easily because 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: they have zero points thus far and we are in 162 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 4: first place in that in that group. But it's not 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: until ten easterns, so the East coast probably not going 164 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 4: to stay up late enough to watch it. On the 165 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 4: West coast, it's prime time seven o'clock this evening, so 166 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: I'm definitely going to try to catch some of the 167 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: USA Turkey. 168 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: Where are they playing? Somebody should look that up. If 169 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: you can look that up real quiz quick, Marco, it 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: doesn't really matter. But where is Turkey? Oh really? It's 171 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: so FI? Well no, no, no, they call it Los 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: Angeles Stadium, I think is what they're calling it for 173 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: the soccer tournament because SOFI doesn't have the rights for 174 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: the World Cup naming anyway, it's the same stadium either way.

We'd like to 350 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 2: welcome back. 351 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 4: To the Armstrong Ingetty Show our old friend David Drucker, 352 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: who we've had on and as a journalist at various 353 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 4: different places, but now works for The Dispatch, which I 354 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 4: look at. 355 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: And or listen to every single day.

How are you pretty good? 357 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 4: So I was speaking at this thing in Sacramento the 358 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 4: other day with a bunch of political consultants and everything 359 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 4: like that, and I was on this panel and anyway, 360 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 4: the topic of gatekeepers came up in a variety of 361 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: forms where the media and political parties and that sort 362 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 4: of stuff, And I remember back in the day when 363 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 4: I was younger, and I thought the tearing down of 364 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 4: the gatekeepers would be good as the democratization of politics happened, 365 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: and you know, you didn't have the big media giants 366 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 4: that determined what we saw or read all the time, 367 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: and you didn't have the political parties determining what candidates 368 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 4: got through. 369 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I was right. 370 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 4: As we get through this whole process, the weak political 371 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 4: parties and their inability to choose candidates and that sort 372 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 4: of stuff, how's that working out for everybody? 373 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, be careful what you wish for, right, you know, 374 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm listen. I'm an institutionalist, right, so I think political 375 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: innovation and change and be very necessary. 376 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 2: It can be very healthy. 377 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: But when you know, and obviously it's convenience if you 378 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: think you're a gatekeeper to think gatekeepers are good, right, 379 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: But you know, the thing is when there are no gatekeepers, 380 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: when there are no guardrails, then anybody. 381 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: Can rise to the fore. 382 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: And there was this feeling, especially with the rise of 383 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: the Internet, but also the weakening of political parties, which 384 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: voters played. They hated that the only thing that would 385 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: come from it would be positive, right, And there have 386 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: been positive developments. There have also been some very negative developments. 387 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, if you look just as the media landscape, 388 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, there are lots of new media outlets and 389 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: new platforms. The Dispatches one of them that maybe wouldn't 390 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: have existed under the old guard, of course, may not 391 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: have needed to exist. We also have Tucker Carlson and 392 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: Hassan Piker, a couple of you know, anti semites that's 393 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: about crazy conspiracy theories. Then they have large followings. I mean, 394 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: it's a good thing that they're able to exist with 395 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: the kind of influence they do, meaningless media figures, and 396 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: obviously as a matter of the First Amendment they absolutely should. 397 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: But is it healthy for the country and the media 398 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: environment and the political environments that they're able to command 399 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: the kinds of followings they do when in the past 400 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: they would have had the same First Amendment rights and 401 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: they just wouldn't have had an audience because of the 402 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: way the structure was. So there are you know, pluses 403 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: and minuses to all of this, but you know, clearly, 404 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean clearly, what the Democrats are finding out is 405 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: what Republicans found out about ten fifteen years ago, which is, 406 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of the populist energy that 407 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: can reinvigorate a party and create a lot of energy 408 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: and some quarters, you know, new support, you also end 409 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: up with some annoying, possibly politically challenging by products. 410 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, a number of people have made this comparison as 411 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 4: you just referred to, of the Trump comes along and 412 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 4: takes over the Republican Party. 413 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 2: And I was just reading Joanah Goldberg's piece in the 414 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: Dispatch from yesterday. I think about this on how. 415 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 4: The crowd that came in, the MAGA crowd that came in, 416 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 4: they you know, they hated Democrats, but they hated mainstream 417 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: Republicans even more. And Jonah claims that nobody the DSA, 418 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: the Democratic Socialists hate more than mainstream Democrats. 419 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 2: Do you look at it that way? 420 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, Yeah, it's one hundred percent correct, right, And 421 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: like they want to conquer the Democratic Party, they. 422 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: Don't want to build. 423 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they don't want to affect an 424 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: agenda and you need broader voter support, but there's sort 425 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: of a difference between trying to establish a sort of 426 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: center left of center right reformist consensus to address problems 427 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: and challenges that the country faces the people face, and 428 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: focusing solely on controlling your faction. I think what we've 429 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: seen from President Trump is that although he does, you know, 430 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: have a couple of things that matter to him like 431 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: immigration and trade, largely his political concern is controlling the 432 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: Republican Party, not building a fifty percent plus one national consensus. 433 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: And I think what you're seeing with the DSA folks, 434 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: and there's saying it pretty much in their own words anyway, 435 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: they're not interested in necessarily a fifty percent plus one 436 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: consensus to be very difficult for them in a country 437 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: that use a little bit center right versus center left, 438 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: they want to control the Democratic Party and from there, 439 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: in a country that has become so polarized that both 440 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: parties tend to govern from a govern in a maximum 441 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: with a maximalist approach versus a contentis approach. It feel 442 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: like they could affect public policy, but that's the way 443 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: they want to do it. 444 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 4: Well, is the analogy better the Trump crowd steam roll 445 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 4: in the Republicans or the Tea Party coming along and 446 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 4: all that energy picking some lousy candidates that then lost 447 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 4: and and sort of discredited the Tea Party In a 448 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 4: lot of people's eyes who weren't you know, paying close attention, 449 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: because some of these candidates that won things are coming 450 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: out that they said or tweeted over the. 451 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 2: Years that are really wacky. 452 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: Right, So I think we have to well, yes, I 453 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: mean to say the least. Look, I think we have 454 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: to on the one hand, take a look at what's 455 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: happened on the right if we want to see where 456 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: this could go on the left, but also not to 457 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: jump to broad conclusions before it's warranted. So on the 458 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: one hand, the Tea Party really showed where the populace 459 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: energy was on the right, and I think that that 460 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: led the way, sort of paved the way or signaled 461 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: that somebody like a President Trump rise to the top 462 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. Right that the Tea Party was 463 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: often and it manifested on Capitol Hill and the House 464 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: of Representatives that the Freedom Caucus, who you know, formed 465 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: because they were unhappy with the consensus driven politics of 466 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: the Republican Study Committee and Republican leadership, who were trying 467 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: to do things in an incremental fashion based on the 468 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: votes they actually had, not the votes they wished they had, right, 469 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: But they wanted to fight, and it was really about 470 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: fighting the left and not accepting compromise in any form. 471 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: And so I think, and you know that eventually, in 472 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: a sense, is the energy in the party and you 473 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: have a President Trump. It's not a you know, there's 474 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: it's a little more complicated, but that's basically the deal. 475 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: So you can see on the left where you start 476 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: to elect some of these socialists in very blue districts, 477 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: and you could see ten years from now where that 478 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: could lead to certain kinds of political leaders, possibly even 479 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: a president who comes from that wing of the party 480 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: or a sustained by that energy. On the other hand, 481 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: a lot of these Republicans were elected in very red districts, 482 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: and the swing districts continued to elect more mainstream politicians. 483 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 2: What we saw this week is these blue New. 484 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: York City districts elect a bunch of socialists, questionionable histories, 485 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: and yet in swing districts the Democrats were nominating and 486 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: and what red leaning distance, they were nominating consensus oriented, 487 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: mainstream politicians. And so this isn't a full complete switch 488 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: overnight or a takeover, And we don't know exactly where 489 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: it's going to go, but we do know it could 490 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: go in a direction that people may later regret. 491 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, for a variety of reasons kl economics, our attention span, 492 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 4: and everything else. We want these major changes to happen 493 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 4: really fast, or pretend they're happening really fast because it's 494 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: easier to talk about. 495 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: But I always think about, you know. 496 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 4: Long term, looking at things the way people see that 497 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 4: Verry Goldwater led to Ronald Reagan. But you know it 498 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: took sixteen years and you're talking about the Tea Party 499 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 4: to Trump. You're right, what happened Tuesday or what happens 500 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 4: in November could be you know, really read better. 501 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: Six eight, ten years from now, which makes sense. 502 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at Goldwater to Reagan's That's what many 503 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: people would argue is are very positive out of them. Right, 504 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: So there there are different ways this can go. I 505 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: think part of it is that you know, the country 506 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: is in it is very unsettled. 507 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: Politics are volatile. 508 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be told that as somebody else's fault 509 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: and there's nothing they have to do, and it's Jonah, 510 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, my boss Jna Goldberg pointed out his piece, 511 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: these political parties unlike you know even tenny years ago, 512 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: but especially forty fifty years ago, they're basically glorified ballid 513 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: access organizations. They don't control who joint, you know, who 514 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: rises in the party. They don't control an ideology. Anybody 515 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: can come in and take it over because there's nobody 516 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: even at the door. 517 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 2: They like they stripped the locks off the. 518 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: Door, and you know, resigned and went somewhere else. So 519 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: it's like an empty house. And these factions, whether on 520 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: the right or the left, you know, they can exist 521 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: as swatters. And and so there's no pushback on the 522 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: right or the left from the parties, and that it's 523 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: actually our politics more polarized more. All of the things 524 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: people say they hate about politics that they blame the 525 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: political parties for are in fact the fault of weakened parties, 526 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: not strong parties. 527 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 4: So there used to be a lot of pro Israel 528 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 4: people in the Democratic Party. Is it going to be 529 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 4: impossible to be somebody who's pro Israel or has ever 530 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 4: taken a dollar from the Israeli lobby to be a 531 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 4: member of the Democratic Party or get elected in the future. 532 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: And you, well, I just again, I think it depends 533 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: where you're running. Look, I think if a pro Israel 534 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: Senate candidate wins a Democratic nomination in Michigan. They're going 535 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: to win the general election. The question is can this 536 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: kind of a candidate win competitive democratic primaries where you know, 537 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: in primaries almost all the energy is all you know, 538 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: usually you know, further left or further right right, depending 539 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: on the party. So yeah, it's a problem. It's a 540 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: problem for Democrats, it's a problem for the country. Oh, 541 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: this is an issue that is roiling both parties, which 542 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: more so on the left right now, and. 543 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: It's I don't know for sure where it's going. 544 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: You know, what I've reported for the Dispatch is that 545 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: a lot of Democratic animists for Israel has to do 546 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: with Prime Minister Benjamint and Yahoo, who, for all intents 547 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: and purposes and the only prime minister many Democratic voters 548 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: feel like they've ever known, so he becomes synonymous with Israel. 549 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: Does this change after at some point, you know, he's 550 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: in the seventies, he won't be prime minister in perpetuity. 551 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: Does this change when you have a new prime minister 552 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: who doesn't tie his entire country to one political party 553 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: In the United States, which is what Netanyaki did with 554 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: the Republicans, a. 555 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: Very foolish move in my view. 556 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: It could you know, I've seen some polling that shows 557 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: that when he's not in office, opposition Israel on the 558 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: left office a little bit. But having said all of that, 559 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: there is huge problem with the liberal base in basically 560 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: identifying Israel's enemy number one in this nonsense about apath 561 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: It's a canard. All apec is is a bunch of 562 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: money that's donated and used by people who think Israel 563 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: is a good country, that the US should be aligned 564 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: with Israel, that the alliance is beneficial. And you know, 565 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: it's no difference than people who feel that way about 566 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: other countries. It's just that Israel it's such a close 567 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: ally and then you know, the recipient of so much 568 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: USA that it gets the most attention. But I don't 569 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: think most people necessarily have a problem with Israel. I think, well, 570 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: not everybody that has a problem with Israel is only 571 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: about Israel. 572 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: Some of it is about Jews. 573 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: That's just the way it is, right. 574 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 4: David Drucker of The Dispatch. Read the Dispatch every day, 575 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 4: listen to the podcast. Love the stuff you guys are 576 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 4: doing over there, and appreciate your time today. 577 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Thank you. That's really interesting. 578 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 4: I remember one of the few advantages of getting older. 579 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 2: Or disadvantages, just depending on how you look at it. Is, uh, 580 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: just seeing how things can change over time. 581 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 4: And I remember used to be gallup with list like 582 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 4: political ideas or things, and it was all kinds of 583 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 4: different stuff man, woman views, gay, straight, political affiliations, this, that. 584 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 4: But the thing that always finished dead last in the 585 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 4: gallup pole was socialist if you were tied to socialists, Like, 586 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 4: nobody liked that right, left or center twenty years ago, 587 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 4: and now it's become a perfectly. 588 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: Acceptable position to have. Yeah, I couldn't think that would 589 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 2: happen in my lifetime. Good the good job there, Michael 590 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders says, good. Anyway, We got more on that later. 591 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 4: We got some of the latest polling among not just 592 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 4: young people but all people in their view of the 593 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 4: term socialism, whatever they mean by that. 594 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 2: We got a lot more on the way. Stay here, 595 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 2: armstrong and get. 596 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 7: The US plays Turkey in the World Cup. And since 597 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 7: the US has already advanced to the next round and 598 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 7: Turkey was already eliminated, the outcome of this game doesn't matter. Yeah, 599 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 7: it's meaningless for both teams. That might explain some of 600 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 7: these signs that fans are bringing to the game. For instance, 601 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 7: this one here says who is this for? 602 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: Up next? 603 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 7: This one says, just for fun, every player should be 604 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 7: allowed to use their hands. 605 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, up next. 606 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 7: This one says if I wanted to see expired Turkey, 607 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 7: I got a subway. Lastly, this one says, beating traffic is. 608 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 5: My good. 609 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: Interesting times everybody. 610 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, SOFI Stadium, although that don't call it so far 611 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 4: for this they call Los Angeles Stadium, USA versus Turkey, 612 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 4: it is meaningless. We've already won the group and nothing 613 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: you can do about that at this point, and Turkey 614 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 4: has already been eliminated and nothing they can do about that. 615 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: Turkey hasn't scored a goal yet, So. 616 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 4: I would imagine just for their own pride, they'd like 617 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: to get ad goal, which could happen a night against USA. 618 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 4: Because how much we play our starters is completely up 619 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 4: in the air. They're in one of those positions. It's like, 620 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 4: you know, if you watch the NBA or the NFL, whatever, 621 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 4: it's your fans are there. You'd like to win, you 622 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 4: like to keep your momentum going heading into the playoffs, 623 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 4: but you don't want to get your good players hurt. 624 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: So it's kind of a balance of stay sharp and 625 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 4: get rest. So how it's called a dead rubber this game, 626 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 4: that's what you call it in soccer. So tonight's match 627 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 4: or game? Is it a matcher game? Could somebody straighten 628 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 4: me out of that? Do you know it's a match 629 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 4: soccer match? 630 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 631 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 4: I wish Joe is here to tell me that, but 632 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 4: it's a dead rubber, which nobody wants, I guess. The 633 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 4: only exciting thing so Turkey lost zero two and zero one. 634 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: They haven't scored a goal, really laid an egg if 635 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: you will. The United States has won four to one 636 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 4: and two zero, so they've gone six to one in 637 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 4: terms of goals scored and given up so far. And 638 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 4: if the United States wins thea night'd be the first 639 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,959 Speaker 4: time they've ever gone undefeated in the group play before 640 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 4: you head into the middle round, So that'd be kind 641 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 4: of an exciting boost for the USA team. 642 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 2: Other than that, there's not much to it. 643 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 4: Our captain who had didn't play the other day, even 644 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 4: though we won, he's got a bad cap and is 645 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 4: supposed to play tonight. So anyway, it's basically a tune 646 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 4: up game for heading into the middle round. Got some 647 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 4: really good stuff coming up. I want to get into 648 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 4: those Apple price increases by a lot because of the 649 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 4: chip situation we got worldwide right now, and Apple raised 650 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 4: their prices. But I have a feeling that everybody's going 651 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 4: to because there are chips in everything, and Apple's probably 652 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 4: just the leading the way. So electronics are about to 653 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 4: get a lot more expensive, at least for a while. 654 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. 655 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 4: Kids are now taking their parents, are now get giving 656 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 4: their kids golp ones to lose weight.
