0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and Katty I know he Armstrong and Eddy. Donald J.

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and twelve votes.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 1>Kamala D.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Harris, that's got a thing. She's like, I can hear you. God,

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 3>it's like attending your own funeral, and even the mourners

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 3>are like.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 4>I thought she handled that really well and did the

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 4>right thing all the way around on that. And I

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 4>don't know if she had because I've read a lot

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 4>of books about presidential campaigns, and one of the consistent

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 4>things was just how devastating, emotionally devastating it is to

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 4>fully commit to trying to be president of the United States,

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 4>thinking you're going to be president of the United States

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 4>and then losing, and just all kinds of different examples.

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it sends people into a spiral and sometimes

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 4>they never get out of It's just such a personal rejection.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 4>It's the biggest job in the history of the world,

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 4>and you almost had.

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>It, and you did.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if she's got that going. I don't

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 4>know if she ever, like fully bought into the fact

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 4>that she should or could be president in the way

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 4>that John Carrey did or you know other people that

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>have lost throughout history kick in the gut.

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think she has two things going for protecting

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>your ego wise and we all do this when we fail.

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Number One, she has some great excuses about the rant

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and Biden staying into long and blah blah blah. And

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>number two, she's a freaking moron, and so she processes

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this sort of stuff like a golden retriever. So I

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>think she'll be fine.

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's something I've read about Mett Romney, Bob Dole,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 4>I mentioned John Kerry, just all kinds of people throughout history.

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It just Al Gore plays a very very bright guy.

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>This is not about Democrats. This is about one individual moron.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, that had to be something to read those words.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Donald Trump got three hundred, however many votes

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 4>Kamala D Harris California got two hundred. Sum the winner

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 4>and next president is Donald Trump. Yeah, that had to

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 4>be emotionally, I can't imagine what that felt like in

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 4>her head.

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>As I've mentioned many times through the years, and I've

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>looked to find this pack past and I can't, at

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>least I haven't so far. Where H. L. Menkin talks

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>about how unsuccessful presidential candidates should be hurled from the

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>top of the Washington Monument because otherwise they haunt the

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 1>land like a vengeful ghost, full of bitterness. And some

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>don't obviously, but like Biden right now having been shoved aside,

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>so he couldn't even be beaten. He's on the bitterness parade.

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That's why he's snapping at reporters about it. I know

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Marl Garner were all later that that's terrible. Al Gore

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>took that bitterness and disappointment, I believe, and said, you

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>know what, f you America, I'm going to sell you

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>on this climate hoax and become a billionaire. And so

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he turned his again. He's a very very bright guy.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>He turned his bitterness into financial gain.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and Jimmy Carter, who lost he you know, he's

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 4>a very very Christian dude, and you know, really turned

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 4>it toward like individual helping the poor, and I think

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 4>he is perfectly fine in that way.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. He meddled in foreign policy in ways that if

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you read about it and think about it, were absolutely unacceptable.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, I think he was trying to be

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a good man.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 4>So I've got a like, what do they call it

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 4>a counterfactual or alternative history or something questioning for you,

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 4>But it involves Trump. But let's hear from Trump. He

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 4>just he's in the midst of he's still doing a

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 4>news conference. I don't know how that differs from a

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 4>press conference. But he has set a couple of interesting things.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Let's play a couple of clips.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>We did a great job, and we're going to do

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>an even better Jeb because now we have a tremendous

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>amount of experience.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>We have people that I.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Can rely on. But the six hundred and twenty five

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 2>million acres people can't realize.

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like the whole ocean.

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Take an acre, you know, an acre. You have a

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>house on a half an acre or a quarter of

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>an acre or an acre. If you have a an acre,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you have a big deal. Now you multiply that by

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and twenty five million acres, This like feels

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 2>like the whole ocean. And that's our strength. You know,

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>people can say we manufactured. We don't manufacture the thing

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 2>we have. We have oil and gas more than anybody

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>in the world.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have more of it too.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 4>So that's him responding to Joe Biden yesterday. We should

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 4>have set this up this way that Joe Biden has said.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 4>He listed that giant chunk of land as no go

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 4>for drilling, and Trump said we'll all end that day one.

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 4>There is some question, I guess as to whether Trump

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 4>can undo it that easily. Why Joe Biden, days before

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 4>he's out of office, is making these sorts of moves.

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if that was important to him, he had

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 4>four years to do it, why is he doing it now?

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Just getting anything Toney can before he leaves the shop.

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 4>But but if it was important, like if it was

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 4>part of his agenda, and I think it probably is,

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 4>because he's part of the whole. We're gonna make gas

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>so expensive that you'll drive an electric car. Crowd, Uh,

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 4>that's their goal. They want to force they want to

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 4>they want to force you into electric vehicles and make

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 4>it impossible to have fossil fuels work the way they've

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 4>worked over the last you know, century and a half.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 1>But why didn't he do it before? I think because

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>he knows how unpopular it is and how it's cow

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>tewing to a particular narrow constituency. But he will pay

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>no price for it. I mean, he's done one of them.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He's going out the door. If he'd done it six

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>months ago and then tried to get something else passed. Oh,

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I see, the Republicans would do it, take their their

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>holy vengeance.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Based on the way he sounded yesterday, I think he's

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 4>about to be done with a capital D, like like

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 4>really don't yeah.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, can you get bets on that? I realize

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it's Tad McCom one more Trump clip.

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>They brought this moron out of the Hague. He's a

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>mean guy. He's a mean, nasty guy. His picture was

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>perfect because you look at his picture, you say, that's

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a bad guy with his robe, his pope purple robe,

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and he executes people. He shouldn't be allowed to execute

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 2>people because he'll execute everybody. He's a nutsyet. But we

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>want all of those cases with him. And I mean,

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the judge in Florida, but we had

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a brilliant judge in Florida that's aw right through it,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and we won the case. She was brilliant judge with

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>great courage.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what he was talking about there, Well,

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what he was talking about either.

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>We need help with this.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, that was a little benefit since I have

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 4>no context. I had one more thing out, some.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Purple robed executor of people from league.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 4>That's what I gathered. So I was walking around Washington,

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 4>d C. Where I was a week ago, and we

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>were there over Chris Or New Year's Eve, and I was.

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Walking around Washington, d C.

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 4>And I just kept thinking, I can't believe Trump's going

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 4>to be president again. I just sometimes it just strikes

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 4>me anew like this is wild, that this is happening.

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 4>That's how Britt Hume and Fox yesterday with the certification

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 4>going on, saying, this is the most surprising political story

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 4>of my entire life.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>In Britt human is old.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 4>It's one of the most surprising stories in the history

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 4>of our nation by far, the comeback of Donald Trump.

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's just it's incredible. Some of it speaks

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 4>to Donald Trump's amazing talents and policy decisions. Some of

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 4>it speaks to just how awful the Democratic Party and

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were.

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Both aggressively incompetent Yeah.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 4>Both of those things had to come together to pull

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 4>off this amazing upset. But here's my counterfactual that I

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 4>wonder about. If Donald Trump had lost like you're supposed to,

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 4>like most people lose in twenty twenty, and you know,

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 4>did basically what Kamala Harris did yesterday, you know, just

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 4>accepted it and you know, we'll get him next time

0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 4>and then run again. Yeah, the same way he did.

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 4>He has still been able to get the same sort

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 4>of momentum and all that sort of stuff. And when

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 4>or did the did the the riot and the coverage

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 4>of it and the did that did that ultimately help him?

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. No, you don't think so. Well,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 4>But whether it helped him or he would.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Have No, I don't think I don't think it helped him,

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>but and not directly anyway. But here's the where it

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>gets really interesting in this exchange. This exchange could easily

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 1>turn into a book January sixth, which was disgusting, The

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>violent cores was disgusting and un American people who wandered

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>through the Capitol and got over prosecuted. That's disgusting and

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>an American too. Both can be true. Anyway, it led

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to so much overreach and madness, the law fair, the

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>early you know, ridiculous charges against Trump, and that negativity

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely fueled Trump's support. Oh no, because it's funny. I

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>thought at first you were gonna say, if January sixth,

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump had said, well, there's some hankiness and we're gonna

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>look into it, but peaceful transfer power is important, and

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>so you know, he won fair or he won and

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that fine, and everything else had stayed the same,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he would have won, you know, forty two states, really,

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>because even though he won, there are plenty of people

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>who remember the the wrongs and the excesses of his

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>time and power, including January sixth. But I'm not confident because,

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the left took the energy of that

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 1>admittedly awful day and went nuts.

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Right right, which is what pushed someone like me into

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 4>the oh screw you with these very various cases that

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 4>are ridiculous, not the documents one, but the other ones,

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 4>right right.

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, and I might be the perfect example of

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a person who was extremely Trump skeptical, particularly after January sixth,

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 1>but seeing what the left was doing and how they

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>were doing it and how brutal it was an Unamerican

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and perverse and unconstitutional and the rest of it. I thought, No,

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>we got to get you guys out of power. And

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump does need to drain the swamp, and you know,

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how well he can do at it,

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>but he's going to give it a try.

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, somewhere that happened in a parallel universe. I did

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 4>a lot of reading about parallel universes on the plane today.

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, here's where I get a headache.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 4>And I'll talk about that at some point. There are

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 4>a lot of your leading physicists, astronomer type people.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not whack jobs.

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 4>These are prominent people who absolutely believe in the multi

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 4>verse parallel universe thing, just because of the way infinity works.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It's fascinating. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not saying that's

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>wrong because I don't know. I'm just telling you I

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>never get anywhere thinking about these big questions. I just

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>end up thinking, Hell, I'll never know, and the dog

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>needs to be walked.

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 4>There could be a mathematically you can't argue against this.

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 4>There's a universe somewhere, yes, with a planet like Earth

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 4>and a person exactly like you, who's living, who's lived

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.439
<v Speaker 4>every single moment of their life up till now exactly

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.560
<v Speaker 4>like here is, except you get disgusted and leave the

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 4>studio and quit. But here you're going to continue, and

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 4>that's where your path diverges, or at any other point

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 4>throughout your life.

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would tell Joe on Plutron six, dude, you're

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a better job than this. You go on

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the hallway event and then go back to work.

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna argue with the you and apparently that's a

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 4>good one.

0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>We got more in the way.

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Say here, I won't make this long. The multiple universe

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 4>theory is this, there are infinite number of stars and

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 4>planets out there. Your life happened the way it's happened

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 4>up to this second once. Just mathematically, if you have

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 4>an infinite number of earths and this has happened once,

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 4>it will happen again.

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>There's just no getting around that. Again. I love this

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.439
<v Speaker 1>sort of thinking, but I'm not good at it. And

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you also believe that an infinite infinite

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of we'll

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>say keyboards because typewriters are out of date, will eventually

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>produce the works of William Shakespeare. I shows that too

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>big a number in terms of likelihood.

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't think you can rule it out. If you

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 4>have an infinite number of planets with monkeys on them,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 4>sitting at typewriters.

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, can you imagine the crap the problem of disposing

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of their feces? Well up, and I think, because you've

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>got infinite monkey feces.

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 4>I thought when you said the word crap, you meant poor, uh,

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 4>poorly written plays.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, poor attempts to write Shakespeare. I meant literally the feces.

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 4>So all but that one where they get it correct.

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 4>There's a whole bunch of really low level didactic, repetitive

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 4>but you know, just not very good Shakespeare.

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, and imagine you've got your infinite number of monkeys

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>typing away on their infinite typewriters, and they get to

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the end of Henry the Fifth or whatever Shakespeare's last

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>work was, and there's like a comma out of place

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>in the last sentence. You would go insane, you would

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>kill yourself.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 4>It was the match tech Mas the Monkey Master. If

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 4>you're into that sort of stuff. Max Tegmark, who is

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 4>a very highly respected thinker, writes, I've read several of

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 4>his books about AI and this sort of stuff. He

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of his colleagues believe in this because

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 4>you just can't. There's no mathematic way to prove it

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 4>not true. But I also find it fascinating that nobody

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 4>has any idea why the big bangs happened, how it happened,

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 4>what came before. There's no answer to this stuff even now.

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 4>I find fascinating. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely so.

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Yep, I would agree now those of us who exist

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>on Earth and not in Jack's dream world with infinite

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>monkeys and the rest of it. Here's some news of

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>note to you. Unemployed office workers are having a harder

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>time finding jobs. It's at the highest level of people

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>who've been looking for at least six months for several years.

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>It's increased by more than fifty percent since the end

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty two, so white collar jobs. The hiring

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>is definitely slowed, and people are looking for a longer

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and longer time for work. I find that interesting, partly

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>on a purely human level. I've been out of work.

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>It's no fun. And also because and this happens so

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>often with presidential administrations, trends and sign waves and well,

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>trends that you can do really nothing about are very

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>little about as the chief executive. Those waves crash out

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of the shore when you're in the office and you

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>just have to deal with them, and you get more

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>credit and or more blame than you deserve. But given

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the state of the economy right now and the just

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the angst over interest rates and the continuing inflation, it's

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it's possible that things could go a little sideways during

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump's watch.

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he'll get the blame for it, whether it's

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 4>his fault or not. We also have I got in

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 4>this conversation with some of my nieces about college and

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 4>college education and the value of it and whether you

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 4>know there's a ton of people out there with college

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 4>degrees and really no skills to go with those college degrees. Yes,

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 4>that's its own problem.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>They got the paper and little else. Yeah.

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Trump just said something very interesting about Canada becoming the

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 4>fifty first state.

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 1>He's actually going to be the president.

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:23.879
<v Speaker 4>So hey, arstrong and getty, Hi is back, ladies and gentlemen,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.439
<v Speaker 4>Donald Trump, because he's uh got certified yesterday. I mean

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 4>he was gonna be president anyway. A bunch of limp

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 4>wristed progressive thing going to storm the Capitol and stop

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 4>that from happening. Oh, it is inappropriate, That's highly inappropriate.

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 4>But so Trump, who's the opposite of Kamala Harris when

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 4>it comes to media exposure and taking questions. I mean,

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 4>you know she never did ever and doomed her. He

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.680
<v Speaker 4>will stand up there and talk for hours, day after

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 4>day after day, far after he should have stopped on

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.159
<v Speaker 4>any topic. We're gonna play a clip for you in

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 4>a second that might be the news making clip of

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 4>the day. But he did just a little bit ago

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 4>say if Canada can't support themselves financially, they should become

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 4>the fifty first state, which he's been joking for a while.

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Some people are saying that had something to do with

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 4>driving Trudeau from office, just because it was so embarrassing

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 4>for Canada for the new president of the United States

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 4>to be calling him Governor Trudeau and talking about Canada

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 4>being the fifty first state, and just his approval rating

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 4>was low already and it went like into single digits

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 4>after that.

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, and because he lacks testicles, Trudeau, he didn't respond

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to that in a manful, right patriotic way.

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 4>He just took it, Yeah, exactly exactly. You need to

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 4>stand up for yourself. But he Van Jones pointed out

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 4>on CNN, I thought this was a good point. If

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.719
<v Speaker 4>you're thinking that would be cool. Canada would be a

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:59.199
<v Speaker 4>very blue state and the size of California roughly, so

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 4>that's a lot of electoral votes that would be voting

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Democrat for years to come.

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>So got to divide that puppy up into several states.

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 1>We could jerrymander that, you know, the liberals over here

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of the moose over there. Give me a minute, let

0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>me think about it.

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 4>So in this one, Trump's talking about the Panama Canal

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 4>and goulf of Mexico and Greenland in a variety of things.

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 4>I think anyway, here's Trump.

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Mexico's really in trouble, a lot of trouble, very dangerous place,

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to be announcing at a future date

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 2>pretty soon we're going to change because we do most

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 2>of the work there and it's ours we're going to

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>be changed. You're sort of the opposite of Biden, where

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 2>he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of fifty to

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 2>sixty trillion dollars worth of assets. We're going to be

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.879
<v Speaker 2>changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of territory.

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>The Gulf of America.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 2>What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>It's appropriate.

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 2>pour into our country.

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 1>They can stop them. And we're gonna put.

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada. They

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>come through Canada too, and the drugs that are coming

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>through are at record numbers.

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so now that is interesting, but of minor importance.

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.919
<v Speaker 4>Apparently drump also said it's possible we're gonna send the

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 4>military to Greenland and the Panama Canal.

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Do I read this right? The Associated Press

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>headline that I just saw We're gonna send them military

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to Greenland? I'd have to hear more about it.

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Did you hear about the Had you hear while we're

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 4>on the break any of the talk of us taking

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 4>the Panama Canal?

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I did, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's interesting? And this, you know,

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 1>this deserves a good long historical context. The discussion with

0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe a historian. We had control of Panama Canal, having

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>built it until Jimmy freakin Carter with his lefty.

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 4>We are the world.

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Give Hong Kong back to the Chinese. I'm sure there'll

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>be nice fellas about it. Divested it essentially. Now, I

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>understand it was a chunk of a sovereign country right

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of it, but it was ours, and

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 1>I realized, I understand how fraught that is. I'm not

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a fool, but well, I'm also not mocking what I

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.199
<v Speaker 1>just said about what Trump said, because I know that

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going at the headline from the Associated Press,

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.159
<v Speaker 1>and I know that often the mainstream media version of

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>what Trump said is presented as laughable and ridiculous, and

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.120
<v Speaker 1>then when you look into it, it's not.

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Laughable and ridiculous. That's happened a thousand times since Trump

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 4>came on the scene.

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So I need to know more about this before I

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>have an opinion.

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.439
<v Speaker 4>But the thing we just heard, why do we call

0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:58.400
<v Speaker 4>it the Gulf of Mexico.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>I've pulled up the map and I'm looking at it,

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and in terms of and you know, granted, we're the

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>most powerful country on earth. So if we wanted reading

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the Indian Ocean the American Ocean, I suppose nobody would

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.439
<v Speaker 1>stop us. But if one were to go with a

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.639
<v Speaker 1>more objective standard, I'm looking at the coastlines, and I

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:23.400
<v Speaker 1>would say we have at least as much coastline defining

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the Gulf of Mexico as Mexico does. And we're the

0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>United States of America.

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.919
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know much about who names chunks of

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:39.360
<v Speaker 4>ocean and who enforces it. Is there an official like

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 4>the Does Mexico call it the Gulf of Mexico? Does

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 4>Russia call it the Gulf of Mexico.

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the slightest idea I would assume so

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I would think so it's universal on maps. But you know,

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>if I walked around calling it the Gulf of Joe

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and then when people looked at me with confused expressions,

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>I explained it that it's not like there's a sanction. Now,

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 1>did you get fined? They's on your taxes at the

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 1>end of the year. Yeah, so all right, the Gulf

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of America. I have no problem with that. That doesn't

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 1>seem crazy to me. Yeah, huh, I know. I'm not

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>sure how much difference it'll make. I think it's a

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a guy who likes having his name on hotels

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and understands the value of the branding, just thinking this

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>is bad branding. Why would we brand this big chunk

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of water with several of our best cities on it,

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>put the name of another you know, developer on it.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>A third world the drug cartel controls u poophole country

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>from his person.

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 4>On haters, he didn't say the Gulf of Trump. He

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 4>could have said that.

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Now. I was just going to say, let's rename the

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Great Lakes Lake Trump Lake, Eric Lake, Don Junior Lake.

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:50.360
<v Speaker 1>What's her name? Blitzen? Is his daughter is now out

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of politics, Blitzen whatever.

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 4>Boy and Trump just said, all hell will break loocif

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 4>the hostages are not freed by inauguration. Continuing with that

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 4>thread out there, that's going to be something to watch. Now,

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 4>that's important, the whole Gulf of Mexico thing, not so

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:13.199
<v Speaker 4>much the how he's going to handle Israel, Iran all that,

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 4>and also Russian Ukraine, who buckle up?

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.239
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be so interesting, and buckle up

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>is exactly the right advice. But I am I'm scanning

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>my memory banks for various presidential administrations through history and

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 1>their philosophies, whether it's manifest destiny way back in the day,

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.239
<v Speaker 1>or Jimmy Carter with his let's be nice to the

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>moahs and they'll be nice to us, you know, nonsense

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and giving away the Panama Canal, which again you could

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>argue is appropriate and it's an interesting topic. But the

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>idea of having with all his flaws Trump with his

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I love this country, I'm proud of it. I want

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:03.159
<v Speaker 1>to grow it, grow our economy, as opposed to the

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm ashamed to be the president, but you know, I

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>guess I am feel of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama was he claimed patriotism but often had that academics,

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm smarter than those stupid actual patriots. Yeah, I field

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>everything he did.

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that's it or not. The patriots.

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 4>I think it's that worldview where we're talking about last

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 4>hour about the billionaires and success, just that crowd. They're

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 4>bothered by people who become really successful and it kind

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:38.120
<v Speaker 4>of feels weird to them.

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>So when they're bothered by countries that become powerful.

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 4>To you, yeah, we're like the successful. We're like the

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musk of the world. We're the successful billionaire and

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 4>it kind of makes them feel bad that we have

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 4>more than other stuff. So I don't know if that's

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 4>a patriotism thing or just a weird view of a

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 4>quality that can never happen on planet Earth.

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>If you accept, and I think you have to, the

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that victim of Presser ideology has been taught, it's,

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, another description of Neo Marxism in all of

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>our schools and universities, and that posits that to to

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:14.719
<v Speaker 1>have more power is to be evil automatically, automatically in

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>all cases, and to have less power is to be

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>noble and good in all cases. Well, then yes, to

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be the most powerful country on Earth is to be evil,

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're twisted again. If my dog barked that philosophy,

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I would kick him for its stupidity, and I am

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:32.360
<v Speaker 1>not a dog kicker.

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.919
<v Speaker 4>Right, It's the belief that if Elon Musk didn't have

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.679
<v Speaker 4>all that money, we would which is weird. Whoever the US,

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.239
<v Speaker 4>the rest of us would have more and or our

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 4>goodness and deservedness, and the same for planetar serving is,

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 4>if the United States didn't have so much, the rest

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 4>of the world would have more. Where that's not the

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 4>way it works at all. If you didn't have the

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 4>United States preserving the world ordered, the whole world could

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 4>be a third world country.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>And again, you give me five minutes with an eight

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>year old, I can make them understand what we're talking about,

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>how wrong that is. But college students emerge with their

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 1>fake degrees, spouting that nonsense and believing it to their

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 1>their bones, which is our fault. They didn't raise themselves.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:17.120
<v Speaker 1>We raised them. How I'm on at Trump's side. Let's

0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>take Greenland how tough? Let's take it back. How tough

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>is that? I'm sorry, I'm told it's never been a

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>United States. Well that's besides the point. How good is

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Greenland's navy? That's what I need to know first. I

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 1>like our chances. So is that Is there anything to

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that story?

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 4>I honestly haven't read a paragraph about the whole Greenland thing.

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:38.679
<v Speaker 4>Do they have any interest in being a state?

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 1>No? No, okay, no, it's it's a self governing province

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 1>of territory of Denmark, of all countries. So I don't know.

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we could work something out, Maybe we can. I

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>don't really care. But it's it's a hell of a

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 1>big land mass. I'll tell you that is enormous and

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 1>why would we want it? Does Trump want it? Is

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the location?

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 4>Or has it got lots of oil or zypium or

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 4>something that goes into AI or I don't.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Know, probably all of the above. Yeah, natural resources almost certainly.

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Plus with the with the climate change, it's going to

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:15.360
<v Speaker 1>be like Malibu soon right, well in one hundred years.

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Maybe that's right. It's all I see now. This is

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Trump thinking ahead.

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 1>So speaking of our fifty first state Canada and global

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>checking out of the incumbents and woke Elvis. Uh Justin

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Trudeau bowing out yesterday, I want to reset one of

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.440
<v Speaker 1>our favorite tapes of last year, which is the guy

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 1>who might well be the new Prime Minister of Canada

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>in one of his finest moments. Oh cool. I want

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to hear that.

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 4>That's on the way. We will finish strong. How's your

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 4>new year treating you? How are your resolutions holding up?

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 4>Still not drinking, still not eating, still going.

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>To the gym. Good for you, Thank you, Thank you

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 1>for that encouragement. Uh So, I was thinking about a

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>joke to make about how unpopular Justin Trudeau is in

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Canada's His approval ratings are upside down by like thirty

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 1>five points or something like that. I mean, it's just plunge.

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And I was gonna say he's less popular than Kamala Harris.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It was the first thing that popped into my mind

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 1>because she was so miserably unpopular. But then remember just

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>as soon as Joe Biden dropped out, she was suddenly

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a great leader in a paraground paragon. That's crazy. I

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 1>have to remind myself of how crazy our media is sometimes.

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Who had the highest approval rate non election day of

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 4>the four Trump Vance, Kamala Walls, it was jd Vance.

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 4>He had the highest approval rating of all four of

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 4>them on election right.

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>That is interesting in it again portrayed by the media

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>as a monster and nobody likes. But anyway, so a

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.239
<v Speaker 1>little woke Elvis is done up in Canada. He's been

0:29:56.240 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a terrible leader. He is just led Canada down the

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>path to the left. And the guy who may well

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>be the next prime minister. It's going to be a

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 1>multi way election because they have a parliamentary system of

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>multiple parties. But Pierre Poliev. Poliev, it's got kind of

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a French name. He was the guy we played the

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 1>audio of last year where a reporter was trying to

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 1>smear him, as lefty reporters tend to do, and he

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>was having none of it. This is the guy who

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 1>might be running Canada.

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 5>On the on the topic. I mean, in terms of

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 5>your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language. Quite frequently.

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people would would say that you're simply

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 5>taking a page out of the Donald.

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump like which people would say that, well, I'm.

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 5>Sure a great many Canadians, but like who, I don't

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 5>know who, but.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 1>The one who asked the question, So yeah, you much

0:30:58.880 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>know somebody.

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 5>Okay, taking the page of a Donald Trump's book, But.

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>What are you thinking about? What page? What page? Can

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you get the page? Give me the page?

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 5>In terms in terms of turning things quite dramatically, in

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 5>terms of I'm not sure, I don't know, I don't

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 5>know what you're quoting.

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>As he bunches an apple, I know, I love that

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 1>as much as the first time I heard it. That's funny.

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>He's got a really interesting story too. He is the

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>adopted child of a school teacher and I can't remember

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>what is his pop did, but very independent minded guy.

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>He's a realist, and lord, don't we need more of that.

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I saw a clip of Trudeau.

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:39.479
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if we ever had this or not,

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 4>but anyway, Uh, he interrupted somebody who is asking him questions.

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 4>A reporter said something about mankind and he interrupted to

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 4>do portes.

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I prefer person kind.

0:31:51.320 --> 0:32:00.320
<v Speaker 4>I thought you got to be flipp them getting me.

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 1>In a confusing, dangerous world, we'd be better off with.

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I prefer person kind to a guy like Pouliev. Please

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:06.840
<v Speaker 1>bring him on.

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Although spanking myself, no wonder he lost. I say he

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 4>was in charge for ten years. Ten years he led, Yeah,

0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 4>and our number one trading partner, Canada.

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Ten years. That's a long run. Yeah, it is.

0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't think anybody should ever run a country for

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 4>that long. Interesting in a democracy, republic, whatever you wanna

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 4>call it.

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know if I feel strongly about it.

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I have been persuaded by some that a single six

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>year term would be better for presidents of the United States.

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:43.320
<v Speaker 4>I'll bet there's some good writings on that from the

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 4>founding fathers. Why they didn't go with that, I'd like

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 4>to know what the argument is, though.

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 5>Look, for the bare necessities, the simple, fair necessities.

0:32:55.720 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 4>Like final thoughts to and in the other show, I

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 4>mean fanacessities on Mother Nature's recipes.

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Like final thoughts from our ghost Jack and Joe.

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.479
<v Speaker 4>Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>who is on duty today as we have one out sick.

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael ains Lower, technical director, will lead the way. Michael,

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to more politicians being interviewed as they're eating.

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I like that jumping at the apple or something, you know,

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 1>really messy. I'm not sure that's the point. Yeah, Well,

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Katie Greener esteemed to use woman is ailing. We hope

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 1>she feels better soon. Jack of final thoughts.

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Katie is sick with some just kind of random

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 4>sorts of things you get this time of year. So

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 4>is my youngest son, missing school and in bed and

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 4>feeling miserable. There's a lot of things floating around out there.

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like they're worse since the pandemic. Is that

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 4>all in my head? Something happen to those bugs or

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 4>immune system or something.

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe our immune systems were they looked, took

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a multi year vacation and affect and got fat and lazy.

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.839
