Donald J. 4 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: and twelve votes. 6 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: Kamala D. 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 3: Harris, that's got a thing. She's like, I can hear you. God, 8 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 3: it's like attending your own funeral, and even the mourners 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: are like. 10 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 4: I thought she handled that really well and did the 11 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: right thing all the way around on that. And I 12 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 4: don't know if she had because I've read a lot 13 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: of books about presidential campaigns, and one of the consistent 14 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: things was just how devastating, emotionally devastating it is to 15 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 4: fully commit to trying to be president of the United States, 16 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 4: thinking you're going to be president of the United States 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 4: and then losing, and just all kinds of different examples. 18 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 4: I mean, it sends people into a spiral and sometimes 19 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 4: they never get out of It's just such a personal rejection. 20 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 4: It's the biggest job in the history of the world, 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 4: and you almost had. 22 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: It, and you did. 23 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 4: I don't know if she's got that going. I don't 24 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: know if she ever, like fully bought into the fact 25 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: that she should or could be president in the way 26 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: that John Carrey did or you know other people that 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: have lost throughout history kick in the gut. 28 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Well, I think she has two things going for protecting 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: your ego wise and we all do this when we fail. 30 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: Number One, she has some great excuses about the rant 31 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: and Biden staying into long and blah blah blah. And 32 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: number two, she's a freaking moron, and so she processes 33 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: this sort of stuff like a golden retriever. So I 34 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: think she'll be fine. 35 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's something I've read about Mett Romney, Bob Dole, 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: I mentioned John Kerry, just all kinds of people throughout history. 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: It just Al Gore plays a very very bright guy. 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: This is not about Democrats. This is about one individual moron. 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: So anyway, that had to be something to read those words. 40 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Donald Trump got three hundred, however many votes 41 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: Kamala D Harris California got two hundred. Sum the winner 42 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: and next president is Donald Trump. Yeah, that had to 43 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 4: be emotionally, I can't imagine what that felt like in 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 4: her head. 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: As I've mentioned many times through the years, and I've 46 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: looked to find this pack past and I can't, at 47 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: least I haven't so far. Where H. L. Menkin talks 48 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: about how unsuccessful presidential candidates should be hurled from the 49 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: top of the Washington Monument because otherwise they haunt the 50 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: land like a vengeful ghost, full of bitterness. And some 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: don't obviously, but like Biden right now having been shoved aside, 52 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: so he couldn't even be beaten. He's on the bitterness parade. 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: That's why he's snapping at reporters about it. I know 54 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: Marl Garner were all later that that's terrible. Al Gore 55 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: took that bitterness and disappointment, I believe, and said, you 56 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: know what, f you America, I'm going to sell you 57 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: on this climate hoax and become a billionaire. And so 58 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: he turned his again. He's a very very bright guy. 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: He turned his bitterness into financial gain. 60 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Jimmy Carter, who lost he you know, he's 61 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 4: a very very Christian dude, and you know, really turned 62 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: it toward like individual helping the poor, and I think 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: he is perfectly fine in that way. 64 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. He meddled in foreign policy in ways that if 65 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you read about it and think about it, were absolutely unacceptable. 66 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I think he was trying to be 67 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: a good man. 68 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 4: So I've got a like, what do they call it 69 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: a counterfactual or alternative history or something questioning for you, 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: But it involves Trump. But let's hear from Trump. He 71 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: just he's in the midst of he's still doing a 72 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 4: news conference. I don't know how that differs from a 73 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 4: press conference. But he has set a couple of interesting things. 74 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: Let's play a couple of clips. 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: We did a great job, and we're going to do 76 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: an even better Jeb because now we have a tremendous 77 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: amount of experience. 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: We have people that I. 79 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: Can rely on. But the six hundred and twenty five 80 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: million acres people can't realize. 81 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: It's like the whole ocean. 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: Take an acre, you know, an acre. You have a 83 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: house on a half an acre or a quarter of 84 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: an acre or an acre. If you have a an acre, 85 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: you have a big deal. Now you multiply that by 86 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: six hundred and twenty five million acres, This like feels 87 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: like the whole ocean. And that's our strength. You know, 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: people can say we manufactured. We don't manufacture the thing 89 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: we have. We have oil and gas more than anybody 90 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: in the world. 91 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna have more of it too. 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: So that's him responding to Joe Biden yesterday. We should 93 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 4: have set this up this way that Joe Biden has said. 94 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: He listed that giant chunk of land as no go 95 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: for drilling, and Trump said we'll all end that day one. 96 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 4: There is some question, I guess as to whether Trump 97 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 4: can undo it that easily. Why Joe Biden, days before 98 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: he's out of office, is making these sorts of moves. 99 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 4: I mean, if that was important to him, he had 100 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: four years to do it, why is he doing it now? 101 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Just getting anything Toney can before he leaves the shop. 102 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 4: But but if it was important, like if it was 103 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 4: part of his agenda, and I think it probably is, 104 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: because he's part of the whole. We're gonna make gas 105 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: so expensive that you'll drive an electric car. Crowd, Uh, 106 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: that's their goal. They want to force they want to 107 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 4: they want to force you into electric vehicles and make 108 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 4: it impossible to have fossil fuels work the way they've 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 4: worked over the last you know, century and a half. 110 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: But why didn't he do it before? I think because 111 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: he knows how unpopular it is and how it's cow 112 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: tewing to a particular narrow constituency. But he will pay 113 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: no price for it. I mean, he's done one of them. 114 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: He's going out the door. If he'd done it six 115 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: months ago and then tried to get something else passed. Oh, 116 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: I see, the Republicans would do it, take their their 117 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: holy vengeance. 118 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: Based on the way he sounded yesterday, I think he's 119 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: about to be done with a capital D, like like 120 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 4: really don't yeah. 121 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, can you get bets on that? I realize 122 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: it's Tad McCom one more Trump clip. 123 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: They brought this moron out of the Hague. He's a 124 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: mean guy. He's a mean, nasty guy. His picture was 125 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: perfect because you look at his picture, you say, that's 126 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: a bad guy with his robe, his pope purple robe, 127 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: and he executes people. He shouldn't be allowed to execute 128 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: people because he'll execute everybody. He's a nutsyet. But we 129 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: want all of those cases with him. And I mean, 130 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't know the judge in Florida, but we had 131 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: a brilliant judge in Florida that's aw right through it, 132 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: and we won the case. She was brilliant judge with 133 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: great courage. 134 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: I have no idea what he was talking about there, Well, 135 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I have no idea what he was talking about either. 136 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: We need help with this. 137 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was a little benefit since I have 138 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: no context. I had one more thing out, some. 139 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Purple robed executor of people from league. 140 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: That's what I gathered. So I was walking around Washington, 141 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: d C. Where I was a week ago, and we 142 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 4: were there over Chris Or New Year's Eve, and I was. 143 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: Walking around Washington, d C. 144 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 4: And I just kept thinking, I can't believe Trump's going 145 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: to be president again. I just sometimes it just strikes 146 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: me anew like this is wild, that this is happening. 147 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 4: That's how Britt Hume and Fox yesterday with the certification 148 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 4: going on, saying, this is the most surprising political story 149 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: of my entire life. 150 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: In Britt human is old. 151 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: It's one of the most surprising stories in the history 152 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 4: of our nation by far, the comeback of Donald Trump. 153 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's incredible. Some of it speaks 154 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: to Donald Trump's amazing talents and policy decisions. Some of 155 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: it speaks to just how awful the Democratic Party and 156 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were. 157 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: Both aggressively incompetent Yeah. 158 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 4: Both of those things had to come together to pull 159 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 4: off this amazing upset. But here's my counterfactual that I 160 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: wonder about. If Donald Trump had lost like you're supposed to, 161 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 4: like most people lose in twenty twenty, and you know, 162 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: did basically what Kamala Harris did yesterday, you know, just 163 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: accepted it and you know, we'll get him next time 164 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: and then run again. Yeah, the same way he did. 165 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 4: He has still been able to get the same sort 166 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: of momentum and all that sort of stuff. And when 167 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: or did the did the the riot and the coverage 168 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 4: of it and the did that did that ultimately help him? 169 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: I don't think so. No, you don't think so. Well, 170 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: But whether it helped him or he would. 171 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Have No, I don't think I don't think it helped him, 172 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: but and not directly anyway. But here's the where it 173 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: gets really interesting in this exchange. This exchange could easily 174 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: turn into a book January sixth, which was disgusting, The 175 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: violent cores was disgusting and un American people who wandered 176 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: through the Capitol and got over prosecuted. That's disgusting and 177 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: an American too. Both can be true. Anyway, it led 178 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: to so much overreach and madness, the law fair, the 179 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: early you know, ridiculous charges against Trump, and that negativity 180 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: definitely fueled Trump's support. Oh no, because it's funny. I 181 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: thought at first you were gonna say, if January sixth, 182 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: Trump had said, well, there's some hankiness and we're gonna 183 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: look into it, but peaceful transfer power is important, and 184 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: so you know, he won fair or he won and 185 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: I'll take that fine, and everything else had stayed the same, 186 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: I think he would have won, you know, forty two states, really, 187 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: because even though he won, there are plenty of people 188 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: who remember the the wrongs and the excesses of his 189 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: time and power, including January sixth. But I'm not confident because, 190 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: like I said, the left took the energy of that 191 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: admittedly awful day and went nuts. 192 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: Right right, which is what pushed someone like me into 193 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 4: the oh screw you with these very various cases that 194 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 4: are ridiculous, not the documents one, but the other ones, 195 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: right right. 196 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and I might be the perfect example of 197 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: a person who was extremely Trump skeptical, particularly after January sixth, 198 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: but seeing what the left was doing and how they 199 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: were doing it and how brutal it was an Unamerican 200 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: and perverse and unconstitutional and the rest of it. I thought, No, 201 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: we got to get you guys out of power. And 202 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: Trump does need to drain the swamp, and you know, 203 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how well he can do at it, 204 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: but he's going to give it a try. 205 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, somewhere that happened in a parallel universe. I did 206 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: a lot of reading about parallel universes on the plane today. 207 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: Oh, here's where I get a headache. 208 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: And I'll talk about that at some point. There are 209 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: a lot of your leading physicists, astronomer type people. 210 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, not whack jobs. 211 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: These are prominent people who absolutely believe in the multi 212 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: verse parallel universe thing, just because of the way infinity works. 213 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: It's fascinating. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not saying that's 214 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: wrong because I don't know. I'm just telling you I 215 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: never get anywhere thinking about these big questions. I just 216 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: end up thinking, Hell, I'll never know, and the dog 217 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: needs to be walked. 218 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 4: There could be a mathematically you can't argue against this. 219 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: There's a universe somewhere, yes, with a planet like Earth 220 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: and a person exactly like you, who's living, who's lived 221 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 4: every single moment of their life up till now exactly 222 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 4: like here is, except you get disgusted and leave the 223 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 4: studio and quit. But here you're going to continue, and 224 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: that's where your path diverges, or at any other point 225 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: throughout your life. 226 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: Well, I would tell Joe on Plutron six, dude, you're 227 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: gonna get a better job than this. You go on 228 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: the hallway event and then go back to work. 229 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 4: You're gonna argue with the you and apparently that's a 230 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: good one. 231 00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: We got more in the way. 232 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: Say here, I won't make this long. The multiple universe 233 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: theory is this, there are infinite number of stars and 234 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: planets out there. Your life happened the way it's happened 235 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 4: up to this second once. Just mathematically, if you have 236 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: an infinite number of earths and this has happened once, 237 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: it will happen again. 238 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: There's just no getting around that. Again. I love this 239 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: sort of thinking, but I'm not good at it. And 240 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, do you also believe that an infinite infinite 241 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of we'll 242 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: say keyboards because typewriters are out of date, will eventually 243 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: produce the works of William Shakespeare. I shows that too 244 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: big a number in terms of likelihood. 245 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 4: I don't think you can rule it out. If you 246 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: have an infinite number of planets with monkeys on them, 247 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: sitting at typewriters. 248 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: Right, can you imagine the crap the problem of disposing 249 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: of their feces? Well up, and I think, because you've 250 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: got infinite monkey feces. 251 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: I thought when you said the word crap, you meant poor, uh, 252 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: poorly written plays. 253 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh, poor attempts to write Shakespeare. I meant literally the feces. 254 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 4: So all but that one where they get it correct. 255 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of really low level didactic, repetitive 256 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 4: but you know, just not very good Shakespeare. 257 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Well, and imagine you've got your infinite number of monkeys 258 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: typing away on their infinite typewriters, and they get to 259 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: the end of Henry the Fifth or whatever Shakespeare's last 260 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: work was, and there's like a comma out of place 261 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: in the last sentence. You would go insane, you would 262 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: kill yourself. 263 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 4: It was the match tech Mas the Monkey Master. If 264 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 4: you're into that sort of stuff. Max Tegmark, who is 265 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 4: a very highly respected thinker, writes, I've read several of 266 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: his books about AI and this sort of stuff. He 267 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 4: and a lot of his colleagues believe in this because 268 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 4: you just can't. There's no mathematic way to prove it 269 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 4: not true. But I also find it fascinating that nobody 270 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: has any idea why the big bangs happened, how it happened, 271 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 4: what came before. There's no answer to this stuff even now. 272 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 4: I find fascinating. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely so. 273 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: Yep, I would agree now those of us who exist 274 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: on Earth and not in Jack's dream world with infinite 275 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: monkeys and the rest of it. Here's some news of 276 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: note to you. Unemployed office workers are having a harder 277 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: time finding jobs. It's at the highest level of people 278 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: who've been looking for at least six months for several years. 279 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: It's increased by more than fifty percent since the end 280 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, so white collar jobs. The hiring 281 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: is definitely slowed, and people are looking for a longer 282 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: and longer time for work. I find that interesting, partly 283 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: on a purely human level. I've been out of work. 284 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: It's no fun. And also because and this happens so 285 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: often with presidential administrations, trends and sign waves and well, 286 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: trends that you can do really nothing about are very 287 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: little about as the chief executive. Those waves crash out 288 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: of the shore when you're in the office and you 289 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: just have to deal with them, and you get more 290 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: credit and or more blame than you deserve. But given 291 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: the state of the economy right now and the just 292 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: the angst over interest rates and the continuing inflation, it's 293 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: it's possible that things could go a little sideways during 294 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: Trump's watch. 295 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he'll get the blame for it, whether it's 296 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 4: his fault or not. We also have I got in 297 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: this conversation with some of my nieces about college and 298 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 4: college education and the value of it and whether you 299 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 4: know there's a ton of people out there with college 300 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: degrees and really no skills to go with those college degrees. Yes, 301 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 4: that's its own problem. 302 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: They got the paper and little else. Yeah. 303 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 4: Trump just said something very interesting about Canada becoming the 304 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 4: fifty first state. 305 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: He's actually going to be the president. 306 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 4: So hey, arstrong and getty, Hi is back, ladies and gentlemen, 307 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, because he's uh got certified yesterday. I mean 308 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: he was gonna be president anyway. A bunch of limp 309 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: wristed progressive thing going to storm the Capitol and stop 310 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 4: that from happening. Oh, it is inappropriate, That's highly inappropriate. 311 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 4: But so Trump, who's the opposite of Kamala Harris when 312 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 4: it comes to media exposure and taking questions. I mean, 313 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 4: you know she never did ever and doomed her. He 314 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 4: will stand up there and talk for hours, day after 315 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: day after day, far after he should have stopped on 316 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: any topic. We're gonna play a clip for you in 317 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 4: a second that might be the news making clip of 318 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 4: the day. But he did just a little bit ago 319 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 4: say if Canada can't support themselves financially, they should become 320 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: the fifty first state, which he's been joking for a while. 321 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: Some people are saying that had something to do with 322 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 4: driving Trudeau from office, just because it was so embarrassing 323 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 4: for Canada for the new president of the United States 324 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 4: to be calling him Governor Trudeau and talking about Canada 325 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 4: being the fifty first state, and just his approval rating 326 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: was low already and it went like into single digits 327 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 4: after that. 328 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: Well, and because he lacks testicles, Trudeau, he didn't respond 329 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: to that in a manful, right patriotic way. 330 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 4: He just took it, Yeah, exactly exactly. You need to 331 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 4: stand up for yourself. But he Van Jones pointed out 332 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 4: on CNN, I thought this was a good point. If 333 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 4: you're thinking that would be cool. Canada would be a 334 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 4: very blue state and the size of California roughly, so 335 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: that's a lot of electoral votes that would be voting 336 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 4: Democrat for years to come. 337 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: So got to divide that puppy up into several states. 338 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: We could jerrymander that, you know, the liberals over here 339 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: of the moose over there. Give me a minute, let 340 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: me think about it. 341 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: So in this one, Trump's talking about the Panama Canal 342 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: and goulf of Mexico and Greenland in a variety of things. 343 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: I think anyway, here's Trump. 344 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: Mexico's really in trouble, a lot of trouble, very dangerous place, 345 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: and we're going to be announcing at a future date 346 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: pretty soon we're going to change because we do most 347 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: of the work there and it's ours we're going to 348 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: be changed. You're sort of the opposite of Biden, where 349 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 2: he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of fifty to 350 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: sixty trillion dollars worth of assets. We're going to be 351 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the 352 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers 353 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: a lot of territory. 354 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: The Gulf of America. 355 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate. 356 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: It's appropriate. 357 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 2: And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to 358 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: pour into our country. 359 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: They can stop them. And we're gonna put. 360 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: Very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada. They 361 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: come through Canada too, and the drugs that are coming 362 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: through are at record numbers. 363 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 4: Okay, so now that is interesting, but of minor importance. 364 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 4: Apparently drump also said it's possible we're gonna send the 365 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 4: military to Greenland and the Panama Canal. 366 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: Is that? Do I read this right? The Associated Press 367 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: headline that I just saw We're gonna send them military 368 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: to Greenland? I'd have to hear more about it. 369 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 4: Did you hear about the Had you hear while we're 370 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 4: on the break any of the talk of us taking 371 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 4: the Panama Canal? 372 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: I did, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's interesting? And this, you know, 373 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: this deserves a good long historical context. The discussion with 374 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: maybe a historian. We had control of Panama Canal, having 375 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: built it until Jimmy freakin Carter with his lefty. 376 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: We are the world. 377 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: Give Hong Kong back to the Chinese. I'm sure there'll 378 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: be nice fellas about it. Divested it essentially. Now, I 379 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: understand it was a chunk of a sovereign country right 380 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: in the middle of it, but it was ours, and 381 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: I realized, I understand how fraught that is. I'm not 382 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: a fool, but well, I'm also not mocking what I 383 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: just said about what Trump said, because I know that 384 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm just going at the headline from the Associated Press, 385 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: and I know that often the mainstream media version of 386 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: what Trump said is presented as laughable and ridiculous, and 387 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: then when you look into it, it's not. 388 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: Laughable and ridiculous. That's happened a thousand times since Trump 389 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 4: came on the scene. 390 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: So I need to know more about this before I 391 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: have an opinion. 392 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 4: But the thing we just heard, why do we call 393 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 4: it the Gulf of Mexico. 394 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: I've pulled up the map and I'm looking at it, 395 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: and in terms of and you know, granted, we're the 396 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: most powerful country on earth. So if we wanted reading 397 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean the American Ocean, I suppose nobody would 398 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: stop us. But if one were to go with a 399 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: more objective standard, I'm looking at the coastlines, and I 400 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: would say we have at least as much coastline defining 401 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico as Mexico does. And we're the 402 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: United States of America. 403 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 4: So I don't know much about who names chunks of 404 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 4: ocean and who enforces it. Is there an official like 405 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 4: the Does Mexico call it the Gulf of Mexico? Does 406 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: Russia call it the Gulf of Mexico. 407 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I don't have the slightest idea I would assume so 408 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: I would think so it's universal on maps. But you know, 409 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: if I walked around calling it the Gulf of Joe 410 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: and then when people looked at me with confused expressions, 411 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: I explained it that it's not like there's a sanction. Now, 412 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: did you get fined? They's on your taxes at the 413 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: end of the year. Yeah, so all right, the Gulf 414 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: of America. I have no problem with that. That doesn't 415 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: seem crazy to me. Yeah, huh, I know. I'm not 416 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: sure how much difference it'll make. I think it's a 417 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: it's a guy who likes having his name on hotels 418 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: and understands the value of the branding, just thinking this 419 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: is bad branding. Why would we brand this big chunk 420 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: of water with several of our best cities on it, 421 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: put the name of another you know, developer on it. 422 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: A third world the drug cartel controls u poophole country 423 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: from his person. 424 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 4: On haters, he didn't say the Gulf of Trump. He 425 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 4: could have said that. 426 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Now. I was just going to say, let's rename the 427 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: Great Lakes Lake Trump Lake, Eric Lake, Don Junior Lake. 428 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: What's her name? Blitzen? Is his daughter is now out 429 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: of politics, Blitzen whatever. 430 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 4: Boy and Trump just said, all hell will break loocif 431 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 4: the hostages are not freed by inauguration. Continuing with that 432 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 4: thread out there, that's going to be something to watch. Now, 433 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: that's important, the whole Gulf of Mexico thing, not so 434 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 4: much the how he's going to handle Israel, Iran all that, 435 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 4: and also Russian Ukraine, who buckle up? 436 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 1: This is going to be so interesting, and buckle up 437 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: is exactly the right advice. But I am I'm scanning 438 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: my memory banks for various presidential administrations through history and 439 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: their philosophies, whether it's manifest destiny way back in the day, 440 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 1: or Jimmy Carter with his let's be nice to the 441 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: moahs and they'll be nice to us, you know, nonsense 442 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: and giving away the Panama Canal, which again you could 443 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: argue is appropriate and it's an interesting topic. But the 444 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: idea of having with all his flaws Trump with his 445 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: I love this country, I'm proud of it. I want 446 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: to grow it, grow our economy, as opposed to the 447 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to be the president, but you know, I 448 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: guess I am feel of Joe Biden and Barack Obama. 449 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: Barack Obama was he claimed patriotism but often had that academics, 450 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm smarter than those stupid actual patriots. Yeah, I field 451 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: everything he did. 452 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's it or not. The patriots. 453 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 4: I think it's that worldview where we're talking about last 454 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 4: hour about the billionaires and success, just that crowd. They're 455 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: bothered by people who become really successful and it kind 456 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 4: of feels weird to them. 457 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: So when they're bothered by countries that become powerful. 458 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: To you, yeah, we're like the successful. We're like the 459 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: Elon Musk of the world. We're the successful billionaire and 460 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: it kind of makes them feel bad that we have 461 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: more than other stuff. So I don't know if that's 462 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 4: a patriotism thing or just a weird view of a 463 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 4: quality that can never happen on planet Earth. 464 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: If you accept, and I think you have to, the 465 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: fact that victim of Presser ideology has been taught, it's, 466 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, another description of Neo Marxism in all of 467 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: our schools and universities, and that posits that to to 468 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 1: have more power is to be evil automatically, automatically in 469 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: all cases, and to have less power is to be 470 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: noble and good in all cases. Well, then yes, to 471 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: be the most powerful country on Earth is to be evil, 472 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: and they're twisted again. If my dog barked that philosophy, 473 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: I would kick him for its stupidity, and I am 474 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: not a dog kicker. 475 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 4: Right, It's the belief that if Elon Musk didn't have 476 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 4: all that money, we would which is weird. Whoever the US, 477 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 4: the rest of us would have more and or our 478 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 4: goodness and deservedness, and the same for planetar serving is, 479 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 4: if the United States didn't have so much, the rest 480 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 4: of the world would have more. Where that's not the 481 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 4: way it works at all. If you didn't have the 482 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: United States preserving the world ordered, the whole world could 483 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 4: be a third world country. 484 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: And again, you give me five minutes with an eight 485 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: year old, I can make them understand what we're talking about, 486 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: how wrong that is. But college students emerge with their 487 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: fake degrees, spouting that nonsense and believing it to their 488 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: their bones, which is our fault. They didn't raise themselves. 489 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: We raised them. How I'm on at Trump's side. Let's 490 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: take Greenland how tough? Let's take it back. How tough 491 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: is that? I'm sorry, I'm told it's never been a 492 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: United States. Well that's besides the point. How good is 493 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: Greenland's navy? That's what I need to know first. I 494 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: like our chances. So is that Is there anything to 495 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: that story? 496 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 4: I honestly haven't read a paragraph about the whole Greenland thing. 497 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 4: Do they have any interest in being a state? 498 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: No? No, okay, no, it's it's a self governing province 499 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: of territory of Denmark, of all countries. So I don't know. 500 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: Maybe we could work something out, Maybe we can. I 501 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: don't really care. But it's it's a hell of a 502 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: big land mass. I'll tell you that is enormous and 503 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: why would we want it? Does Trump want it? Is 504 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: the location? 505 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 4: Or has it got lots of oil or zypium or 506 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: something that goes into AI or I don't. 507 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: Know, probably all of the above. Yeah, natural resources almost certainly. 508 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: Plus with the with the climate change, it's going to 509 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: be like Malibu soon right, well in one hundred years. 510 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 4: Maybe that's right. It's all I see now. This is 511 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 4: Trump thinking ahead. 512 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: So speaking of our fifty first state Canada and global 513 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: checking out of the incumbents and woke Elvis. Uh Justin 514 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: Trudeau bowing out yesterday, I want to reset one of 515 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: our favorite tapes of last year, which is the guy 516 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: who might well be the new Prime Minister of Canada 517 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: in one of his finest moments. Oh cool. I want 518 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: to hear that. 519 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 4: That's on the way. We will finish strong. How's your 520 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 4: new year treating you? How are your resolutions holding up? 521 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 4: Still not drinking, still not eating, still going. 522 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: To the gym. Good for you, Thank you, Thank you 523 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: for that encouragement. Uh So, I was thinking about a 524 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: joke to make about how unpopular Justin Trudeau is in 525 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: Canada's His approval ratings are upside down by like thirty 526 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: five points or something like that. I mean, it's just plunge. 527 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: And I was gonna say he's less popular than Kamala Harris. 528 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: It was the first thing that popped into my mind 529 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: because she was so miserably unpopular. But then remember just 530 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: as soon as Joe Biden dropped out, she was suddenly 531 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: a great leader in a paraground paragon. That's crazy. I 532 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: have to remind myself of how crazy our media is sometimes. 533 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: Who had the highest approval rate non election day of 534 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 4: the four Trump Vance, Kamala Walls, it was jd Vance. 535 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: He had the highest approval rating of all four of 536 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 4: them on election right. 537 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: That is interesting in it again portrayed by the media 538 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: as a monster and nobody likes. But anyway, so a 539 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: little woke Elvis is done up in Canada. He's been 540 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: a terrible leader. He is just led Canada down the 541 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: path to the left. And the guy who may well 542 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: be the next prime minister. It's going to be a 543 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: multi way election because they have a parliamentary system of 544 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: multiple parties. But Pierre Poliev. Poliev, it's got kind of 545 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: a French name. He was the guy we played the 546 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: audio of last year where a reporter was trying to 547 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: smear him, as lefty reporters tend to do, and he 548 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: was having none of it. This is the guy who 549 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: might be running Canada. 550 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 5: On the on the topic. I mean, in terms of 551 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 5: your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway. 552 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 553 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 5: Well, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language. Quite frequently. 554 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 5: A lot of people would would say that you're simply 555 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: taking a page out of the Donald. 556 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: Trump like which people would say that, well, I'm. 557 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 5: Sure a great many Canadians, but like who, I don't 558 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 5: know who, but. 559 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: The one who asked the question, So yeah, you much 560 00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: know somebody. 561 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 5: Okay, taking the page of a Donald Trump's book, But. 562 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: What are you thinking about? What page? What page? Can 563 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: you get the page? Give me the page? 564 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 5: In terms in terms of turning things quite dramatically, in 565 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 5: terms of I'm not sure, I don't know, I don't 566 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 5: know what you're quoting. 567 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: As he bunches an apple, I know, I love that 568 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: as much as the first time I heard it. That's funny. 569 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: He's got a really interesting story too. He is the 570 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: adopted child of a school teacher and I can't remember 571 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: what is his pop did, but very independent minded guy. 572 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: He's a realist, and lord, don't we need more of that. 573 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: I saw a clip of Trudeau. 574 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 4: I don't know if we ever had this or not, 575 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 4: but anyway, Uh, he interrupted somebody who is asking him questions. 576 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 4: A reporter said something about mankind and he interrupted to 577 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 4: do portes. 578 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: I prefer person kind. 579 00:31:51,320 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 4: I thought you got to be flipp them getting me. 580 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: In a confusing, dangerous world, we'd be better off with. 581 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: I prefer person kind to a guy like Pouliev.
