Speaker 1: The Armstrong in getting show height all the people with

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: them the bowels of our compound, surrounded by razor wire

7
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: and dover man pinchers go today we are toiling under

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: the title of the show why oh why.

9
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: Or they're not aliens, they're undocumented space humans.

10
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: They're unplaneted carbon beasts.

11
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: Right, it's so they eat people's brains snow. Alien is

12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: a loaded space beast, is illegal on stolen land, and.

13
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: There they are with no planet to be on, while

14
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: the billionaires have yachts ha ha yes, tied in the billionaires.

15
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: The billionaire tax in California, which I just saw the

16
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: pulling on, is overwhelmingly popular. The one time five percent tax.

17
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm using their language. That's hilarious to anyone that would

18
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: believe that that's a history of pretty much all taxes.

19
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Sure started as a one time emergency thing, but the.

20
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Very temporary, very limited, just a small group of people

21
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 3: just for a moment.

22
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Well, the premise is hilarious always anyway, it's just this

23
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: is just a unique time that we're short of money.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: That doesn't get us through the Spanish American War, right,

25
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: This doesn't happen very often where we overspend and need

26
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: a little uh fusion of cash. So you know, I'm

27
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: sure we'll be past this and it'll all it'll all

28
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: seem funny years from now when we talk about it.

29
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: But one time, five percent tax on billionaires which is

30
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: causing billionaire to lead to stay. But currently it's a

31
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it's a twenty point win, it's a sixty forty issue.

32
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Good wow, Wow, it's not even close.

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 3: Oh, there will not be a single billionaire left in California.

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Well, gut, and you talk about a squandering of money.

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Even in Gavvy's against it. Yeah, well

36
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: he was like, no, this is two effens too. If

37
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: he weren't running for president, I don't know if he'd

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: be against it. I don't know.

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: He's he's way more tied into the super elite, true

40
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Silicon Valley and beyond than he ever admits.

41
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: True.

42
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like California is almost like a drunk

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: that needs to hit bottom.

44
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: It's just got to get so dysfunctional and terrible. Well,

45
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: to me, it's it's more about just this burbling populist,

46
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: socialist mood that's all across the country from or Western civilization,

47
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: from Mondani to the five percent billionaire tax in California

48
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and lots of places in between. Yeah, you're right.

49
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: If it's going to find fertile ground, it would be

50
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: in cal Unicornia.

51
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to one of our favorite political

52
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: or military analysts, Mike Lyons, in hour two, about this

53
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: build up to war in Iran, which seems to be

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: looking more likely, not less likely, on a day by

55
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: day basis.

56
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: Which brings us to my first tentative title, why oh Why.

57
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: At some point is Donald J Going to address the

58
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: American people and say, hey, look here's the.

59
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Situation spot out. New York Times had a big article

60
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: about that, I think today in the paper on how

61
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: we've never This is what I've been saying all week long,

62
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: We've never gone to war without having more of a

63
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: discussion about it or the president justifying the reason for it.

64
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: But I think one follows the other. I think maybe

65
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: Trump has not done an address. He watches the news.

66
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: We all know he watches he watches the news and

67
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: nobody's reporting on it. Nobody's talking about it. So he's thinking,

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: why would I bring it up? Why would I bring

69
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: up something that might be controversial. Nobody's talking about it.

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: That's not a crazy way to react to the lack

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: of coverage. No, hey, media, you can write an article

72
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: about how he hasn't explained it, but maybe you ought

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: to be making it a bigger priority of a story.

74
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Right for crying out loud as opposed to avalanches which

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: are interesting, missing women which are interesting but certainly not

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: very important to anyone's life.

77
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: Well, we need to break into your street, Jack with

78
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: live team coverage of Prince Andrew's release from a British

79
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: prison man.

80
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: How about the fact that they're going through all his

81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: giant homes, this home that he used to live in

82
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: when he was still actually a prince, thirty bedrooms, that

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: they're just tearing it apart, looking for all kinds of

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: It's all about the given secrets to Epstein's stuff. It's

85
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: not the girls stuff, I don't think, at least according

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: to all the comments that all law enforcement has made,

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: they're looking for all kinds of documentation that he was

88
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: doing stuff with Epstein. He shouldn't have been done. He

89
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: ends up giving him information.

90
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: I'm told that the British Justice Department, whatever they call it,

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: is more independent than ours, which tends to be under

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: the sway of the President and his party.

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Let's all admit it. Yeah, because care Stormer and the

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: King were both caught surprised by Andrew's arrest, neither one

95
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: of them had were tipped off at all.

96
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: Otherwise I would suggest that this is all a smokescreen

97
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: to obscure the fact that.

98
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: What's his name, what is this? I can't die.

99
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: It's got a mental block on the big British big wheel, heavyweight, diplomat,

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: mover shaker guy who's under serious scrutiny right now, because

101
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: that'll bring down the Labor Party.

102
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, so will a thirteen percent approval rating.

103
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: Our government is stupid and screwed up enough that I

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 3: really don't have much time to consider other stupid, screwed

105
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: up governments.

106
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: If you're a Godfather fan, the movie, not the pizza

107
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: or the idea of the concept relations, uh yeah, Godfathers,

108
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the Christening and blah blah blah jah Godfather of the movie.

109
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew is so Fredo. He's absolutely Fredo, he's kind

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: of the useless part of a big, powerful family and

111
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: the brother is the king or always gotten all the

112
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: attention and everything like that. And I'm smart. I'm smart.

113
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: So just like Fredo and the Godfather does deals with

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: you know, enemies of the family, and Michael finally kills him,

115
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: the brother Charles is like what you're given given secret

116
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Stepstein so you can seem cool. And he's treating you

117
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: like you're important and cool because he's getting stuff from him,

118
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: you moron, He's getting stuff from you.

119
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Right right right spoiler alert, by the way, I mean Fredo,

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: It's it's.

121
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: The same sort of thing though.

122
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: How many times how many times has the family, Chuck especially,

123
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: said to him, dude, you gotta cool it. You're you're

124
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: way too visible with your debaucheries. You gotta quit with

125
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: the stuff in public. You're embarrassing us, you're embarrassing the monarchy,

126
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: the country.

127
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: And then he'd be seen with the the you know,

128
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Ukrainian homes. Was that Fredo from The Godfather? What play that? Again?

129
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Barely understand was that the English language smart I'm smart. Oh,

130
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: there's the one that's the good one. So, uh, you know,

131
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I can't handle things.

132
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: I'm smart, oh sunt so you know Epstein is like

133
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: a Shakespearean level understander of human nature and schmoozer and

134
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: knowing what button's The press just treated Prince.

135
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Andrew like he's a really big deal and probably, oh

136
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: that's a brilliant idea. Man, you were really understand world

137
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: economics on a level. You know that sort of stuff

138
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: is over there, So nobody starts giving Epstein all kinds

139
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: of state secrets. I'll bet he was an easy mark.

140
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I'll bet he was too.

141
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: You just keep the hotties and the booze coming a

142
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: little blow now and then whatever.

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: You add that to kind of a dowey, unimpressive guy,

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and you know, you run hot chicks at him who

145
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: pretend that they really like him, And yeah, he was easy.

146
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: He was an easy one. There he is, Prince Andrew.

147
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: I gotta believe being fourth in line to the throne

148
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: or something that's not very rewarding work. I mean that

149
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: would if you're smart, you would think, Okay, so nobody's

150
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: gonna pay any I get all of the cool stuff

151
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: of being a royal, but nobody's actually paying any attention

152
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: to me. Awesome, Well, I'll see all next Christmas. If

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: you had a soul, you would think, all right, uh,

154
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: kid's literacy or not work on that. I can't really

155
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: go off and get a gig at an ad agency

156
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: or something like that. As a royal, it just wouldn't work.

157
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: But I could sure get heavy into some sort of

158
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: charitable something or other. You know, marry a nice girl,

159
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: I have some beautiful kids and then live a good life.

160
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: But no, he was a you know what, hound and

161
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: then a drunk and whatever else and Epstein manipulating him

162
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: into coffin up state secrets. So it would appear years

163
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: later and only because of the release of the Yeah, filthy,

164
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: just dripping in the goove of infidelity to society's rules files.

165
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Yes, Prince Andrew have a wife through all this.

166
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: Uh No, he was married to the Duchess of Paulk

167
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: the Duchess of York, Sarah Sarah Sarah Ferguson is his wife.

168
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember her from back of that. I didn't remember.

169
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: It was actually a pretty good looking lad and you know,

170
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 3: literally a prince back in the day.

171
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: It's true, someday your prince will come. He was actually

172
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: a prince. He was that let's start the show officially

173
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: because I like this clip. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

174
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Getty on this it is Friday, February twentieth, the year

175
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, where I'm Strong and Getty and we

176
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: approved of this program.

177
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: And if you're really really stupid, stay tuned, we'll talk

178
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: about space aliens. All right, here we go officially according

179
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: to FCC rules. Reggs at mark, this is.

180
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: The greatest comeback I have ever seen, the twenty year

181
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: old frum Olkland Alyssa Luke.

182
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: A script that would have been rejected as far fetched.

183
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: And Lissa.

184
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: Is the gold medalist at the Olympics.

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: So one of the great comebacks in skating history. Not

186
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the important part because we're not that into skating. It's

187
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: what Joe told us yesterday about the fact that so

188
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: she grows up in Oakland with a Chinese dad who

189
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: escaped Tianum and square hates the Communist Party and skates

190
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: for America just across the water in San Francisco. You

191
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: got what's her name? Goo Goo? I mean Goo named

192
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: Goo the Goo versus Lou battle. Goo grows up with

193
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: the Chinese mom, decides to skate for the freaking comedy.

194
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: No no, no, your made No, you're skipping the important part.

195
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: The Commis come to both of them, and Goo says, yeah,

196
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: I'll take your COMMI money that you exploit, you know,

197
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: your racial minorities, and ah, I love some of that

198
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: money and loose that lose Dad say that off you

199
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: COMI scum.

200
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Yes, but Goo the model says sure, I'll take the money,

201
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: and I'll skate for the Communist Party and say all

202
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: kinds of nice things about you to try to you know,

203
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: which is a giant pr win for the Communist.

204
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: Party, right, and then I'll go on American media where

205
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: they'll service me practically.

206
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: That's actually that's the part that sucks. She can do that,

207
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: and it's a bad idea, but she should be paying

208
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: a heavy penalty for that. She should be She should

209
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: become a verb like you know, or a descriptor like

210
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Benedict's already but I see your point, Yes, like Benedict

211
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Arnold or something like that. The use to describe a

212
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: certain sort of person is what she should be. As

213
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: opposed to NBC, it's great you honor your mother's heritage

214
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: by skating for the Chinese. The Communists gave her six

215
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: million dollars so they can run ads constantly, as they

216
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: have been doing for the last weeks, months, and years

217
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: about how the Chinese system is so much better than

218
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: the American system. Here's here's one of America's darlings who

219
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: left that system because it's so awful over there. Exactly. Yeah, God,

220
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: that's maddening again. The maddening part is that the media

221
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: plays along with me. It's all the hour. The good

222
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: news is, though, you got lunagu skates for America win's

223
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: gold medal last night. She's also I meant to bring

224
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: this up yesterday. She's the opposite of quad. God have

225
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: you followed this at all? So she retired a couple

226
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: of years ago, then decided to come back. And I

227
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: was listening to an interview the other day and she said,

228
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: it's awesome. She said, I feel nothing. It's just like

229
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: practice for me. I don't care what happens, she said,

230
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: I can't even I wish I had the exact quote

231
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: because it was so good. I can't even imagine anything

232
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: happening here that matters to me.

233
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, her comeback is actually a super interesting story, but

234
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: really interesting about human beings and their psyches.

235
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, But somehow she did the opposite of quad God,

236
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: she fooled her mind into thinking it just doesn't matter.

237
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: This is all who cares. I'm just gonna go out

238
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: there and have fun. Whereas he felt the entire weight

239
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: of the all of the sports world in America's media

240
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: on him when he stepped out onto the ice man.

241
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: But to summarize, woo loo boo goo, that is a

242
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: good summary.

243
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Well, you got Katie's headline on the way stay here. Hey,

244
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: So the State of the Union addresses Tuesday. Some interesting

245
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: information about that. And I never think the State of

246
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: the Union is worth talking about. If you're a longtime listener,

247
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, I begrudgingly talk about it, if at all,

248
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: every year. But some things to talk about coming up

249
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: about that.

250
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

251
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: with Katie Green Katie all right.

252
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: The Epstein drama continues.

253
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 5: ABC former Prince Andrew released after arrest on suspicion of misconduct.

254
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Over Epstein, NBC Bill.

255
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 5: Gates pulls out of India AI summit amid Epstein's scrutiny,

256
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 5: and CNN this is not over Corporate America's Epstein reckoning gathers.

257
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: Steam, gathering steam.

258
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: Yeah really okay, Yeah, dramatic.

259
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: You know Mark Awpernhand and his newsletter over the weekend,

260
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: he just you know, he has his ear to the ground.

261
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Lots of people, he said, there are some big relations

262
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: to come. Okay, I believe you. The Epstein fallout thing.

263
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: I was reading how the Corporations of America which had

264
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: rapidly incorporated DEI plans for their boards, and they're hiring

265
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: and all are just chucking them right and left.

266
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: They practically don't exist anymore. They're gone.

267
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: That's how quickly they, you know, bow to trends and

268
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: the way the wind is blowing right now, it's poison

269
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: to have anybody who really associated with Epstein.

270
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: So they're just cleaning house. You're out. Nobody will care

271
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: a year from now, but that's fine.

272
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: From the Guardian, Trump weighs strikes as he gives Iran

273
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 5: ten to fifteen days to agree to deal over nuclear program.

274
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that for real? Or is that yeah, you

275
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: got fifteen days and then you hit them Saturday?

276
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: Or is that what Pete Hegsath told him he needed

277
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: to get everything in place to give him a whackon

278
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: eat About ten days.

279
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 5: From the New York Post, three hundred Virginia high school

280
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: students who ditched class for anti ice walkout get suspended.

281
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Good good, perfect. That's in Virginia.

282
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: Must be in an outside not a DC area part

283
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: of Virginia.

284
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: The idea that you can just walk out of class

285
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: to protest some political issue and it'd be excused is ridiculous.

286
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: Well, you're going up against the teachers Union with that attitude.

287
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Praise yourselves. Uh oh. From the New York Post as well,

288
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: New York.

289
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: City's twenty thousand dollars swag procedure can make your pennis bigger,

290
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: but you'll have to mold it into shape yourself.

291
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: What what the what the what?

292
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: What it's made of? Silly puddy, You just gotta give it.

293
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tell you there are more questions than answers here.

294
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Hold on to that stupid sor swag procedure. Yeah.

295
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 5: And finally, from the Bablon b New Yorkers Report, warmth

296
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: of collectivism feels strainly, strangely like a crushing tax hike.

297
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. So I've been wanting the State of the

298
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Union address to go away for years. It might actually

299
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: go away finally, which should be good news among things

300
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: on the way. It's stay tuned, armstrong, and getdy. Some time,

301
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: things need to get worse before they can get better.

302
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: I think we're in that situation with our ridiculous race

303
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: to the bottom in our politics, between the two sides

304
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: trying to outdo the other in defying norms. So that

305
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: will bring us to the State of the Union address,

306
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: which I never want to talk about, but I do

307
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: want to talk about this morning after we do clips

308
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: of the week.

309
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: Alrighty, then let's take a fond look back at the

310
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: week that was. It's the beloved Friday tradition. Clips of

311
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: the week.

312
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: Do not despair. The cavalry is coming. I love the

313
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: spell of bread.

314
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: Pump in the morning.

315
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: Our plan is to walk into the building and show our.

316
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Rights to work well. China showed off humanoid robots for

317
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: forming kung fu. Last yea, Sweden saw almost two hundred bombings,

318
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: more than any other country in Europe. At doctor Shila

319
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: buff arrested accused of attacking two men during Marty Grass

320
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: in New Orleans.

321
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: But one side recommendtion, I was like, don't worry about

322
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: like squirreling money away for retirement in like ten or

323
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: twenty years in one matter, right, I would ingest a pizza,

324
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: hot pizza right now, happily, including the cat sauce.

325
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: I mean the sausage. Oh no, are aliens real? Uh,

326
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: they're real, But I haven't seen.

327
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: The heart of this past is a property tax increase.

328
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: This would effectively be a tax on working in middle

329
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: class New Yorkers.

330
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I must just for a right look at

331
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: the future, guys.

332
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 5: Police in the United Kingdom arrested Britain's former Prince Andrew.

333
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: On suspicion of misconduct.

334
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: But I think that it also plays into a wider

335
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: perception of Great Britain.

336
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: At the moment, which is that of a country crumbling.

337
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 5: A massive US military build up is underway in the

338
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: Middle East.

339
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: We would very much like, as the President has said,

340
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: to resolve this through a conversation.

341
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: For we in America have no interest in being polite

342
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.

343
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 6: Would and should the US actually commit US troops to

344
00:19:51,920 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 6: defend Taiwan. You know, I think that this is uh,

345
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 6: you know, I think that wow, this is a.

346
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: I love Nicki Minaj so beautiful, his skin so beautiful,

347
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: I said Nicky is so beautiful.

348
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Helped the man's back. Let him do his job. He's

349
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. Buck up off of it.

350
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: So I was really trying to lean into daring to

351
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: love myself, daring to trust myself, daring to believe that

352
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: I could do something wonderful. Tonight yourself hist hists, it's

353
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: clips of the week.

354
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: I did not watch any of the women's hockey yesterday,

355
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: the final in which they beat Canada and won the

356
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: gold medal. I did not realize that they were being

357
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: shut out until four seconds left. They scored their one

358
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: goal to tie it with four seconds left, they were

359
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: being shut out. Then it goes so much for my

360
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: prophecy of them whooping up on Canada. Whoops then goes

361
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: into overtime and then they score a goal fairly quickly

362
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: and win the gold medal. But man, they were close

363
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: to a shutout. So that's something that's very exciting. That's

364
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: drama further angering our neighbors to the north. Boy, Canadians

365
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: got to be pissed off about that. Uh So, if

366
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: you've ever been a kid or had kids, you know

367
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: the whole He started it. She started it routine. As

368
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: a parent, you many times have had to say, or

369
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: I've had to say, I don't.

370
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: Care who started it, stopping now, and the classic I'm

371
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: ending it, which is great. It's kind of parenthetical, you know,

372
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: exactly because.

373
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: The he pulled my hair, well, she poked me in

374
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: the eye. Well, he tipped over my juice. But he

375
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and you just keep going back.

376
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: He kept bumping me, but he keeps giving me dirty looks,

377
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: and be keep going back.

378
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: And that's exactly where we are with the Democrats and

379
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: the Republicans that it drives me nuts when people play

380
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: along with it, like, yeah, well they're just doing that

381
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: because they did this. Okay, how far back do you

382
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: want to go on any of this? We at some

383
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: point just need to say, okay, let's stop for ins

384
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: just because they're just doing it.

385
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: Because John Adams farted during the Thomas Jefferson's inaugural address.

386
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: And I've been I've been wanting to get rid of

387
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: the freaking state of the Union forever. We got a

388
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: text from somebody saying the Constitution requires a state of

389
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: the Union. Yeah, well we know, yes, we know. But

390
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: for of a very very long time what happened was

391
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: because the Constitution requires it is the executive branch would

392
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: present to the legislative branch, is here's the latest data

393
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: we've compiled, because that's what we do over here in

394
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the executive branch. Here's how many people we got. Here's

395
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: the like the average income or the crime rate, or

396
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: whatever the hell it is you want to know, and

397
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: they give them and there wasn't some giant political speech,

398
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: but we all know in the modern area, it's been

399
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: some giant political speech. And then you stand, they stand up,

400
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: and they cheer, and then they sit down and they boo,

401
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: and it's just it's all stupid, and it's stupid and

402
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: stupid and stupider for the years and more of just

403
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: a campaign speech over the years, and we all know this.

404
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: And then the audience is dwindled too. It's gone from

405
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: everybody tuned in to only people who voted for the

406
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: person giving the speech watch, and everybody else doesn't watch

407
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: it all. Is what it's become. For several goal rounds,

408
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: it's just a dumb political exercise.

409
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: Now.

410
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: Also, as Joe always points out, he used to be

411
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: you didn't hear from the president that much, but now

412
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: they're on some cable news show or speaking on the

413
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: plane or whatever every damn day. So unless it's Joe Biden,

414
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: unless it's Joe Biden, unless you're a senie old man.

415
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: Who comes out and shouts at us like a seeneiye

416
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: old man and has praised it lavishly for it.

417
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: Yes, So, for instance, right now as we speak and

418
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: are recording this, if you're listening to the podcast the

419
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: Big Governor's Meetings going on that the President addresses all

420
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: the governors every year, which has been happening forever. But

421
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: then a couple of years back, some Democratic governor said

422
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: they wouldn't show up to the meeting if Trump was

423
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: leading it, and so then you had some Democrats not

424
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: show up. And then so this year Trump decided to

425
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: announce he would only allow the Republican governors to come.

426
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: He only invited the Republican governors, no Democratic governors. That's

427
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: where we are, so similar thing with the State of

428
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: the Union address. There's like five different attempts to have

429
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: counter programming by the Democrats going on right now. I

430
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: hope they coalesce into one and they just don't show up,

431
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: and then that's pretty much the end of it. It's

432
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of where we are with this governor's meeting. Democrats

433
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: just don't show up, and then so it's pointless and

434
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: we all say all right, that's enough and stop.

435
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: Can I say this, as Joe Getti American, either you know,

436
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: an advocate for this or a critic of that. If

437
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: we can't have a gathering of our nation's governors and

438
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: the president says, Heidi, ho, good to see we're all

439
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: together in this, we're doomed as a country. That's pathetic,

440
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 3: instant it is. I don't care how oxious and lefty

441
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: one governor or another is.

442
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: You put it aside in the name of national unity.

443
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: At times. If we can't do that, go buy well, right.

444
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: But Trump would say, well, a third of the government

445
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: democratic governors didn't show up last time, I mean. And

446
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: then they would say, well, Trump bad mouths this all

447
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: in front of it, but so why would I show

448
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: it law?

449
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: What are fascism? Blah blah nonsense, Well blah blah blah.

450
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: They started it is what ends up being the problem.

451
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: So at some point you just got to call it

452
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: off and go back to the norms, which was all

453
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: the Republicans and Democrats show up as governors and you

454
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: get together and have a little talk like grown ups.

455
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 3: I hate to be obvious, but in that scenario with

456
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: your two boys, what was required.

457
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: A blank in the room?

458
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 5: Right?

459
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: Is anybody tracking with me? So for the State of

460
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: the Union Address, there are about a dozen Democrats in

461
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate who are going to skip

462
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: the speech and not show up. They're going to attend

463
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: a rally on the National Mall. It's Tuesday night, by

464
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: the way. The State of the Union Address the worthless,

465
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: stupid exercise that I can't believe. Well, the media continues

466
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: to pretend it's something because they think maybe somebody will

467
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: tune into these cable news channels. Nobody watches if they

468
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: act like it's still sitting in it hasn't been anything good.

469
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it for years. Of the State of

470
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: the Union dress, I have not watched for years. So

471
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: liberal groups like might's touch and move on or having

472
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: a counter programming At the same time, a separate counter

473
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: event dubbed State of the Swamp is being planned at

474
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: the National Press Club by representatives Eric Swawell, Seth molten

475
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Dam Goldman, Ron Wyden. They're going to do an event too.

476
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: So there's like a bunch of different events.

477
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: Those guys, that's like a parody, boy, you want to

478
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: talk about week act.

479
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: Joy Reid is hosting an event on MSNBC, Joy flipping Reid,

480
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: there's a good mainstream counter to Trump. Will host the

481
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: People State of the Union on the National Mall at

482
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: the exact time the speech is going on. The alternative

483
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: broadcast will air simultaneously, and they're trying to get as

484
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: many Democrats to show up as possible. They've already got

485
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: Senators Chris Murphy and Markley, Jeff Burkley, Chris van holland

486
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: others that I don't I don't know who they are.

487
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: But so she's got a decent crowd showing up for

488
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: that thing. She got four or five different events that

489
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: different people are going to great now. To his credit,

490
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: although I think he's just being politically smart, Hackem Jeffries,

491
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: the minority leader, is saying either don't come or go

492
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: with silent defiance, but no protesting because last year, for

493
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: a couple of years in a row, whichever out of

494
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: office party acts up has gotten more blowback than credit.

495
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: I think Hakeem Jeffries thinking, remember.

496
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: What they raised money on it for themselves.

497
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: But I don't think it helps the whole party. Kim

498
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Jefferies is probably thinking, who's the old guy who raised

499
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: his cane last year and shook it green? Remember his name?

500
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: The line was is Al Green? Isn't it that Al

501
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: Green singer? I'm a great soul singer.

502
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: I'd rather listen to the first Al Green than this

503
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: dumb son of them.

504
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: And the funny line was nothing shows you know the

505
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: youth and future of our party more than an old

506
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: man waving his cane at trum. But yeah, so King

507
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: Jeffries has decided, now this does this more harm to good?

508
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: So either go to one of these counter rallies or

509
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: just sit there and be quiet, don't cheer. But I

510
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: hope that so many people don't attend that we finally decide, Okay,

511
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: it's been getting more political year by year, or of

512
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: just a campaign stop, let's just call it good no more.

513
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, drop off a letter at the Capitol, which is

514
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: enough for Washington.

515
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be absolutely fine. Yeah, but at some point

516
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: the race to the bottom has to stop, right, We

517
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: can't just keep going further down this road.

518
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: Well, unless there's a knife fight at the State of

519
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: the Union or something like that.

520
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: No, it's well, like the governor's meeting right now, Okay, now,

521
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: it's just the party of whoever's the president at the time.

522
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Is that we're going to do going forward state the

523
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: Indian dress. We all know how that all works. You

524
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: cheer everything or sit down for everything by being a

525
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: freaking deal. Yeah, yeah, what am I doing? Yeah? I know,

526
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I know.

527
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: It's it's so discouraging. The longer this goes on, the

528
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: more tired I get.

529
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Did you happen to Sorry, it's just it's all so discouraging.

530
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: I think we've got a clip we're gonna play later,

531
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: But did you happen to listen to any of Ben

532
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Sass's interview? I tweeted it out. It is so damn good.

533
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: And there are democrats like him, true grown ups, serious people,

534
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: none of this ridiculous trying to raise money on TikTok.

535
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: In fact, he talks about that in the interview. He said,

536
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of people in Congress that

537
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: just want to be TikTok stars, and we're never gonna

538
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: get anywhere with a bunch of TikTok stars. But you

539
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: look at a guy like him and you think that's

540
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: probably what it is like, not completely but mostly in

541
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: like Congress in eighteen hundred, a whole bunch of serious

542
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: people with differences over big issues. But they were serious.

543
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: They were grown.

544
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: Ups and the most brilliant men of their time maybe

545
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: women when that day came.

546
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Ben Sash would be one of the few examples.

547
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: If you don't know me as a Republican senator from Nebraska.

548
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: He's dying of cancer right now. He got stage four

549
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer, and he talks about that, and he's not

550
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: gonna be around much longer. But he's brilliant. How often

551
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: do you ever see a congress person senator where you

552
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: think they're smarter than me, they know more than me.

553
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: Very seldom. Most of the time. I hear these people

554
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: interviewed and I feel above them, and I think I'm

555
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: pretty solid on that ground, And so are you above them?

556
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: We all are. They're just they look.

557
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: Like a senator, and they knew who's asked to kiss,

558
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: especially house Most of them put out, oh my god,

559
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: especially your house members.

560
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: But like Ben Sass, with his PhD in history from

561
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Yale and his undergraduate from Harvard, he's a freaking brilliant. Yeah,

562
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: And there are people like that. You just don't hear

563
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: about him much because they're not trying to be TikTok stars.

564
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Where do they get run out of government like Ben

565
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: Sas or they get challenged by their own party usually

566
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: and run out of office. But we need more people

567
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: like that, somehow that are serious. That could we all

568
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: agree that debt is our biggest problem. Okay, let's figure

569
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: something out, you know that sort of thing. I feel

570
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 1: like we're ways away, but hopefully the end of the

571
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: State of the Union address would be a step in

572
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: the right direction. We've got mailbag on the way. Stay here.

573
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about potential war with Iran an

574
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: hour or two with Mike Lyons, among other things.

575
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: Here's your freedom hating quote of the day from a communist.

576
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: Continuing on our series, This one from Leon Trotsky.

577
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: His life ended unexpectedly, didn't it, Jack ice Pick in

578
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: the head. I've seen the very room he was killed

579
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: in in Mexico City. MM. Tough way to go, he said.

580
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: In a country where the sole employer is the state,

581
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 3: how position means death by slow starvation. The old principle

582
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: who does not work, shall not eat has been replaced

583
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: by a new one.

584
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: Who does not obey, shall not eat.

585
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's Zora Mumdani right there, that's Bernie Sanders right there,

586
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: that's socialism. Who does not obey, shall not eat. In

587
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: the words of the commies themselves, mailbag drove us Nope,

588
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com. I want

589
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: to talk about email versus text later, Jack, So let

590
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: me forget David Davis. Good early morning, gentlefolks, he writes.

591
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: Just to quick note that if you talk about the

592
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: plight of the royals before Jack gives a play by

593
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: play of the women's hockey team win, I'll never listen

594
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: to you again.

595
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: That game was awesome. Last two minutes of the.

596
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 3: Game, force over time, breakaway gold to clinch the win,

597
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: the celebration of the camaraderie, the bride, you can feel

598
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: it all. And then this from bj pre co correspondent.

599
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 3: This was an unbelievable game. Two minutes left to elimination,

600
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: they scored a tie, they win in sudden death overtime

601
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: and wow, and believe it or not, they all sang

602
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: our national anthem.

603
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. We top NBA, NFT, MLB.

604
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: Forget the solo singer play the anthem with the words

605
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: on the screen so all the fans can sing.

606
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that with the kids, and I will

607
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: watch the end of it in the metal ceremony. And

608
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure Winnie's brothers, the three brothers in the crowd

609
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: were getting a lot of attention to with their antics.

610
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: Michael, I forgot to warn you. I need the haiku

611
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: music please, if you would. This is a very special haiku.

612
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: Shane and Roseville, pointing out the jack whose birthday is tomorrow,

613
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: hates haikus. I do, therefore the following hiku. Jackie, you're

614
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: familiar with the haiku, thees, five syllables, the seventh, and

615
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: the five. It's the very limitations that set the artist free.

616
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: Like every year of my school, they made you right

617
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: one for some reason, I don't know. We defeated that haiku.

618
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: There are friends out Happy birthday, Jack.

619
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: I know you despise haikups, so this is not one

620
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,720
