WEBVTT - I Am So Uncomfortable With Gushing 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.720 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:10.440 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:17.919 Arm Strong and Getty and no Key, I'm Strong and Getty. 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.520 President Trump applying real pressure on Prime Minister Netanyao to 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.800 agree to this deal, and it really does feel like 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.560 a potentially game changing moment. You've got these indirect talks 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.520 now underway in Egypt. Egypt Phase one, the President hopes 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.479 could be agreed as early as this week. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.560 Would mean a ceasefire, the release. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.919 Of hostages and some Palestinian prisoners, and a partial withdrawal 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.000 of Israeli troops. The key sticking point is going to 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.959 be Phase two, which calls for har Mass to. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.600 Disarm and relinquish power. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.640 But I think what's really different this time is President 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.560 Trump's personal engagement forcing both sides to end this war. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.920 I wanted to play that because I continue to be 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:05.320 amazed at the mainstream coverage is fawning over this deal 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.320 that Trumps put together and having positive noises about it 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.640 and presenting it as Trump putting a lot of pressure 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.560 on Net and Yahoo and that sort of stuff, as 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.479 opposed to you know, being as Lackey or something which 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.880 used to be the right narrative. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.080 Right. Yeah, I know this does not describe you, but 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.360 I get a feel from a lot of the media 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.880 coverage of this that they still have some level of 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.720 belief that Hamas is negotiating in good faith, that they 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.640 think Hamas can be reasoned with, that they just have 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.240 some political gripes with Israel and soon we can have 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.160 a two state solution. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.319 Yeah. I was watching David Ignatius of the Washington Post, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.520 who's one of your big writers, about this sort of thing, 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:53.040 talk about how people need to recognize Hamas recognizes this 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.680 is basically the negotiation of their surrender. That's what it is, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.680 and because that is what it is. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.480 Right, Yeah, it's refreshing to hear it stated that plainly. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.880 Yeah, it's either you agree to everything that is, everything 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.040 we want pretty much and nothing that you want, or 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.359 we're gonna kill y'all, which would you prefer. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.600 If somebody could take a minute, maybe Katie could do this. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:21.079 Get me the list of Islamist suicide death cult dead 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.920 enders who have ever surrendered. I would love to see 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.320 that list. It will be very very brief. Don't bother Katie. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:27.959 That was sarcasm. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:28.160 Right. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.480 Well, the possibility is that the people at the top, 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.960 who have a tendency to live in high rise hotels 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.119 and drive Mercedes, might agree to some sort of surrender 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.640 because they weren't actually out in the street fighting anyway, 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.640 and the soldiers on the bottom won't. But then Israel's 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.160 gonna hunt them down one by one and kill them. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.240 All, right right, so different angle Free Beacon reporting that 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.880 pro Hamas student groups are planning nationwide protests today to 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.919 celebrate the October seventh anniversary, or the beginning of what 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:05.080 they describe as the decolonial struggle. And they observe actually 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.440 that anti Israel group starting this semester with a bit 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.560 of a whimper because the universities are afraid of the 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.720 Trump administration, but today could be a turning point. For instance, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.640 UCLA divest in the schools. Students for Justice in Palestine 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.160 chapter banned from a lot of campuses because they're pro 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.920 terrorist one hundred percent announced their protest by describing Hamas 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:30.680 as massacre as Palestinians righteously engaged in decolonial struggle. They 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.960 also included a poem honoring the martyrs. The protest will 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.240 involve a floral procession in honor and to remember the 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.440 lives stolen by the Zionist state. The group urges attendees 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:42.160 to wear masks. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.840 It would be a lot easier to buy that argument 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.720 if Hamas themselves didn't openly state, now we want Israel 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.000 to go away, we want all Jews to die. We're 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.200 not looking for some sort of two state solution here. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:02.520 Well, and as usual, the the philosophy is so incredibly 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.640 half baked that if you poke at it at all, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.480 it falls apart, as our friend and colleague Tim Sanderfer 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.840 has in these stupid land declarations in the United States. Yes, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.240 it was the Shoemash tribe. Before them, it was another 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.479 tribe who you know, the next tribe just slaughtered thell 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.520 out of and raped their women and took their babies 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:23.719 in the. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.600 Pardon because you know why, because they wanted their land, 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.400 so they took it. Yeah, so they took it. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.080 And another group did that before and before and before. Look, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.919 you want to go back to King David in Israel? 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.919 That not far enough? All right, Let's go back to 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.799 Abraham for God's sake. I mean, what is this? Oh, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.760 what happened briefly in nineteen forty eight is the Brits 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.560 were meddling post World War One in World War Two, 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.520 that must be permanent for all time. I don't even 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:57.239 that doesn't stand up to the slightest, you know, questioning anyway. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.400 In the University of Michigan, you got these students allied 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.520 for Freedom inequality, protesting against two years of genocide and 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.560 the university's refusal to divest from the genocidal apartheid state. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.400 That's hilarious. Yeah, talk to me about the rights of 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:19.320 Jews and Christians in Islamic states. They're kids, children, Let's see. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.279 Blah blah blah. Columbia University's got a big one, of 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.680 course they do. The flyer for Columbia's big demonstration included 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.200 a red upside down triangle, a symbol hamas uses to 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:36.440 denote Israeli targets, and text ratings Strike March, Resist, all 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.040 sorts of stuff going on in New York City, Pennsylvania, Yale, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:45.400 George Mason University, George Washington University, Stanford planning a week 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.919 of action in response to two years of genocide and 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.800 Zionist terror, et cetera, et cetera. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.840 So there's a poll. There's a poll out today that's 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.800 getting a tremendous amount of attention by people who want 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.680 this poll to be true that by two thirds of 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.240 Israelis want the war to end pretty much no matter what, 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.800 and also about two thirds of Israelis want net Nyahou 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.640 to resign. I don't know how accurate that issue poll 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:16.920 is from that particular Israeli newspaper, but that's the poll 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.200 that's making it into our mainstream media today. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.479 Yeah, I'd have to see the specific questioning. I'm not 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.679 shocked about net Nyahou. I mean, he's a controversial figure, 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.719 always has been for a long time. But every time 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.440 you see the end of the war polled among the Israelis, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.320 it includes and all the hostages returned, and they say yes, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.839 then the mainstream media conveniently leaves out the fact that 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.120 Hamas will not do that. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.719 Yeah, so that's what are we to happen. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.560 So all of that is kind of a lead up 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.720 to the greater question to me, And I was surprised 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.880 and pleased to see Gerard Baker, who's one of the 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.719 senior statesmen of the editorial writers for the Wall Street Journal, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:02.080 with a piece today and he calls it perilous times 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:06.720 for optimistic Jews in the UK, and we've talked about 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.880 this the UK and France. Jews all over Europe are 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.360 thinking we're going to have to leave and go to 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.520 America because we're being hounded out. And he opens with 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:21.240 a famous, very dry joke by Billy Wilder was a Jew. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.760 The optimists died in the gas chambers. The pessimists have 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.160 pools in Beverly Hills, meaning those who recognized the menace 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.200 and thought this is going to go badly fled Europe, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.800 and those who thought no, no, no, our neighbors would 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.840 never turn on us ended up in the gas chambers. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.120 Interesting and Gerard rights. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.400 For their sake, I hope there aren't many optimistic Jews 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.800 left in Europe. Their thinning ranks will surely have been 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.200 reduced farther by last week's murder of a man at 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.560 the synagogue in Manchester, England, which we talked about in 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.520 the Death of Another Well right, which that story in 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.320 case you didn't hear the very brief version of it. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.880 This reporter who's Jewish, was in a synagogu that morning 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.120 and a guy next to him said, how long you 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.000 think we've got left in Great Britain where we can 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.640 even live here, and the reporter thought, well, that's a 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.680 little more cynical than I am. Than twenty minutes later 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.880 they get the word there's been a stabbing at a 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.800 different synagogue and everything got shut down, right right, And 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.640 Baker mentions pessimists who will have listened to the rote 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.160 denunciations from political leaders and media figures, the minutes silence 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.640 for the victims at weekend soccer games, the official affirmations 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:31.360 that Britain is a peaceful, tolerant, multicultural nation, blah blah blah, 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.160 maybe in a pool, and uh okay, so I'll skip 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.480 that part. He mentions the blame for the violence in 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.280 Manchester lies with the assailant, who was an immigrant from Syria. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.520 The responsibility for the circumstances in which two Jews are 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.480 dead in a Jewish community that has contributed loyally to 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.479 British society for centuries, fears for his existence. The responsibility 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.599 for that lies with the leaders of the British establishment. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.280 This atrocity indicates the self annihilating multicultural nation build bilding 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.439 they have pursued for decades. Now, that is some strong 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.760 talk for one of the deans of editorial writing at 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:08.880 the Wall Street Journal. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.199 Yeah, that's pretty good. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.560 This atrocity indicts the self annihilating multicultural nation building they 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.960 have pursued for decades. For a generation or more, leaders 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.240 in governmental and cultural institutions have built and fortified the 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.360 idea that Britain, along with the other countries in Europe, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.800 is a kind of open door society in which people 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.199 from diverse cultures with no desire or willingness to abide 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.040 by the host nation's civilizational norms should be free to 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.120 live by their own rules. Elite opinion holds that it 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.920 is immoral and often illegal to try to force people 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.920 to conform to Western rules and norms, as Lenin had 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.360 as useful idiots among the capitalist classes. Waves of radical 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.960 enemies of the West's values seize the opportunities supplied by 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.160 these healthfully welcoming elites to create the conditions to destroy them. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.520 Radical Islamists were the most numerous given the geographic realities 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.160 in Europe. They are also the boldest in their ambitions. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.920 The authorities, cowed by the cultural injunction that it was 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.280 racist not to tolerate alternative morais and practices, and anxious 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.480 not to be accused of stock stoking Islamophobia stood back 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.000 while grotesque abuses proliferated. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.800 One more bit, did they have it over there in 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.680 Europe the coexists stickers or is that only an American 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.520 thing that have the star of David on there and 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.520 across and then the Islamic symbol? Right? 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.800 Yeah, if they didn't, they should because they're closer to 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:36.240 suicide than us. But and another notable few sentences in 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.080 mainstream media, and this is, by the way, I hate 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.560 to depart from the text because it's so good, but 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.200 there are a couple of examples right now where people 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.040 are calling out that young man who went to murder 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.880 Brett Kavanaugh, and the fact that all the mainstream medias 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.319 or media are calling it a woman now because he 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.000 declared I'm a girl now and a lot of mainstream publications, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.960 including the Journal are say now we're through with that madness. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.160 It's a man, was a young man who did it. 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.120 He's still a man. Stop it. Really, So the whole 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.640 ultra progressive on the front foot bullying everybody into complying 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:17.360 with their neo Marxist lunacy. That's over, at least for now. Anyway, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.160 back to Gerard Baker, because this is important In the 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.520 most notorious of the crimes of multiculturalism, thousands of girls 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.920 thousands friends, mostly white and vulnerable, were raped and abused 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.920 by so called grooming gangs of men in mostly South 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.640 Asian heritage, starting in the nineteen nineties, specifically Pakistanis. For years, 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.920 the local authorities declined to investigate, the police declined to pursue, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.560 and the media declined to report on the systematic abuse, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.760 how to fear that it would fuel racism if the 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.760 ethnicity of the abusers was revealed. Not until Andrew Norfolk, 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.120 a brave reporter from The Times, exposed the scale of 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.480 the abuse and the cover up. Beginning in twenty ten, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.680 was action taken the response to repeated terrorist attacks, and 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.920 he goes through the list, some of which killed many 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.040 many people by the media and politicians on both sides 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.680 often focused as much on warning against Islamophobia as on 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:15.559 defending against Islamist violence. Finally, people say, you know what 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.679 I'm gonna I'm gonna speak truth. Oh you're offended. Sorry, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.959 it's true. I'm saying it. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:32.400 Man. This story isn't over. No, no, And I'm glad 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.520 the period was in France and England to watch for 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:36.200 our cities. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.320 Oh yeah, oh yeah. Well, and there's a big story 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.520 about a bunch of Democrats going to Arab Fest in Dearborn, 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.040 Michigan saying up with Hamas to get the votes of 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.880 the Muslim majorities there. Yeah, this story is far from over. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.440 So, Michael, I want to play the clip when you 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.640 come back, you say when Fallon introduced Tea Swizzle on 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.000 The Tonight Show last night, the crowd erupted. Yeah, yeah, man, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.560 I'm interested phenomenons. I've always been interested in phenomenons. Maybe 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.679 it's because I want us to be and try and 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.720 figure out how to become one. But anyway, we've got 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.280 a lot of news on the way to stay here. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.000 Please welcome, go on only. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.640 I mean, we love you too. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.520 Love, we love you. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:48.200 Wow, that is something, So why uh? I think it's 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.280 kind of interesting that our first after giant album comes out, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.760 her first show is the least controversial one. Jimmy Fallon, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.440 that's probably not a mistake. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.800 Don't On Kimmel, look like you're supporting him, Colbert, I 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.840 think you want to stay out of it. 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.720 Probably anyway, Yeah, everything she does is brilliantly calculated. So 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.200 I'm sure there's some thinking about that. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.880 Yeah, and we got I don't know the ABC news 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.800 report from last night that I saw she's the first 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.719 person ever to have a number one album, number one 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.680 movie or something like that happened over the weekend. I'm 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:20.920 not exactly sure what that means. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.000 I'm so uncomfortable with gushing. Yeah, just in general. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.800 Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable too. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:34.000 I mean him just gushing like she's a goddess. This 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.720 is an incredibly capable professional, which is great. Well, she's 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:39.760 a and people love her. Me. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:44.040 She is a cultural phenomenon, no doubt, But right, I 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.480 don't feel the need to gush. Is Taylor Swift's album 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.920 full of white supremacy and homophobia? 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:51.800 I assume? 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:51.920 So? 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.320 Yes, I really know. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.440 I heard this article last day. I I've listened to 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:58.720 the entire album front to back. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.480 I know what a funnier joke would have been. 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:02.280 I certainly hope. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:02.360 So. 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.800 Good Lord, who is asking that question? It's nearly reason 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.920 I bought it. So her new album, The Life of 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.360 a show Girl three days old, and the woke are 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:21.760 tearing it apart, finding offensive lyrics everywhere. Okay, online social 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:26.560 media critics and influencers of Swift have decided the new 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.880 album is rife with racism and homophobia, as well as 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.320 secret messages of support for the patriarchy, eugenics, and Donald Trump, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:40.000 even though she openly voted for Kamala Harris. Forensic investigations 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.320 have been covered dog whistles of all these things, but 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:49.000 only they're very They're very subtle. Yeah, I'd say that 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.880 this is the examples they gave all None of them 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.200 make any sense to me whatsoever. Like she's got a 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.360 song Ophelia, which is the female character from Hamlet, and 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.800 it's basically if Ophelia hadn't killed herself and a happy ending. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.480 And I guess the critique there is, Oh, everybody could 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.880 be happy if they could marry the quarterback whatever I mean. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.880 I love the fact that these people are exposing themselves 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.160 for the lunatics that they are. It's actually kind of 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.000 helpful for the same part of America. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.120 I like this from some influence who has got like 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:21.080 a million followers for whatever reason, that Taylor Swift was 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:25.760 friends with Britney Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes wife. Yes, even though 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.320 Swift endorsed endorsed Kamala Harris, but didn't disavow her friend, 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.320 so it's probably a secret conservative. I like the fact 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.240 that you're supposed to disavow your friends in the modern 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.640 world if they vote for someone else, if you don't 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.880 disavow them, well then you're as bad as they are. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.840 That probably makes sense to those people. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.720 And I know it does. I guarantee you it does 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.240 because I know people specifically like that. Unfortunately, it has, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.120 you know, had effects on my life. I know people 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.040 like that. You're supposed to disavow friends who have different views. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.840 I'm gonna start tweeting, you know, be cool. If I 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.600 could get my dog's attention without people noticing dot dot Dodd, 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.440 I'm going to start doing dog whistles. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.560 I think that was a ballot with dog whistles. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:10.360 Their minds. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:11.399 That's a good one. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.479 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.240 Portland's been on fire for years. I think that's all insurrection. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.720 I really think that's a really criminal insurrection. The word 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.200 insurrection not chosen at random or by accident by Donald Trump, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.160 has explained here by Jackie Heinrich on Fox President. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.080 Trump not ruling out invoking the Insurrection Act, which would 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.000 allow National Guard troops to carry out domestic law enforcement activities, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.399 even against the wishes of local authorities. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.600 Well, I do it if it was necessary. So far 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:44.920 it hasn't been necessary. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.159 Right now, Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker suing to stop the 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.280 guard from deploying to Chicago under more narrow orders of 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.760 protecting federal property, which doesn't require the Insurrection Act. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.280 But the war of words is escalating. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.720 Pritzker painting the troops as an unconstitutional invasion and accusing 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.720 the administration of inciting violence. They say they need to 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:04.359 respond to. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.880 This escalation of violence is targeted and intentional and premeditated. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:15.720 Why to create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.560 so that he can send military troops to our city? 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.280 So this is all pretty interesting. A couple of my 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.080 favorite pundits, Charles C. Cook Nash Review and Sarah Isger 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.960 of The Dispatch, have both been pointing out that all 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.199 this talk about all the things Trump might do or 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.080 is hinted at or whatever, so far, he hasn't broken 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.640 the law. And anytime a judge steps in and tells 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.119 me he can't do anything, then he doesn't do it 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.600 until a different judge rules. I mean, he's followed the 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.040 law so far, But It's presented by a lot of 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.440 his opponents as he's just wildly out of control. Mostly 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.760 he threatens things, doesn't do them. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:00.399 Right, or that's the term lawless specifically used multiple times. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.240 But so far he has not been and I thought 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.840 Mark Halprin's analysis of this current insurrection thing was really 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:11.360 interesting today. Trump's remarks on the Insurrection Actor deliberately calibrated 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.400 to project authority without committing to a specific action. By 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.000 keeping the option on the table, he maximizes pressure on 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.399 governors and local officials while maintaining room to maneuver. This 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.800 is less about immediate deployment and more about establishing deterrence 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.119 and shaping the political environment around domestic unrest, and is 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.800 always stoking TDS Trump derangement syndrome because you can get 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.280 people to overreact so much. What will probably happen next 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.280 is the administration is unlikely to trigger the Insurrection Act, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.520 but the possibility itself becomes a tool of negotiation. Expect 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.240 governor's legal experts in civil society groups to increase public resistance, 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.159 which could in turn lead to Trump to escalate his rhetoric. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.240 The ambiguity serves Trump's interest by keeping both allies and 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:59.239 opponents uncertain, gets everybody all riled up. Sometimes they do 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.240 things that allows him to send in the National Guard 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.760 or whatever. Yeah, that's you're overreacting. What I mean. If 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.560 I was an opponent at Trump, I'm not. But if 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.000 I was an opponent at Trump in one of these 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.880 cities or states, just ignore him instead. 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:19.359 Of right, although it doesn't help their electoral prospects to 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.360 do that, I don't think. If you're talking about effective leadership, 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.520 you're right, But I don't Davie Spritzker doesn't give a 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:25.840 damn about anything but the White House. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.760 I don't think ultimately it's going to help their political 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.280 prospects of the way they're doing it. Now, their side 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.359 is going to start doing like in Portland, start rioting 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.680 and fighting cops. Most people don't like that. Of all 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.000 political stripes don't like that sort of unrest. They just don't. 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.560 Yeah, yeah, I just think that's that's an interesting point, 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:48.280 and I agree. I think the JB. Pritzkers of the world, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.040 like lunkhead Gavin Newsome and some of the other people 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:57.560 involved here, the Communists of Portland, whatever, they really overread 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:01.080 the issues. Polling that's been done by the bigfoot media 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.760 that says most Americans are against deploying of the National 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.520 Guard to this city of that city for this purpose 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.879 of that purpose. But as we know about issues polling, 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.399 it's super easy to manipulate the results by just tweaking 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.399 the wording a little bit. And it's absolutely true what 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:21.840 you said. Ultimately, when people see violence against cops and 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:27.479 vandalism and angry masked people, can you know, doing what 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:31.680 Antifa does, they really dislike it. So I just think 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.040 the JB. Pritzkers of the world are putting way too 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.720 much confidence in the polling in the online world as always. 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:43.720 Yeah, remember when Mayor in Los Angeles Karen Bass finally 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:49.000 was welcoming of the National Guard troops, because that is 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.960 the way public opinion, public opinion is. I don't really 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.000 like the idea of troops on my streets, but I 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.360 really really, really really don't like the idea of unrest 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.800 on my streets. One just day to day crime. Yeah, 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.080 that one beats out the troops on my street if 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.600 it comes to that, right, If I have to choose 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.320 between the two, I end up with the troops as 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:09.280 opposed to the unrest. 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.080 It's a great example or illustration of how hard this 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.399 fight's gonna be it'll never end. I suppose to like 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.960 have lessons become learned, like the experience in Washington, d C. 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:27.240 There was your test case. Trump sent in the troops. 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:32.240 Everybody yelled and screamed, Uh, it's a dictatorship, military dictatorship. Oh, 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.320 I kind of like that. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:34.480 I'm not afraid anymore. 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.439 And all the crime is dropped and look the state 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.720 of the National Guards. People are really courteous and they 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:45.280 smile at you, and everything's really perfectly fine, and nobody's 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.480 really a dictatorship at all. But then you got to 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.520 relearn that in Chicago and Portland and whatever else, the 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:57.600 same screeches that we heard re Washington, d C now 0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:58.360
