1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: In honor of Jimmy Carter's hundredth birthday, more than four

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: thousand children around the country sent him hand drawn cards

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: bearing messages like who are you? And my mom made

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: me do this?

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: That was a well crafted joke because the setup led

9
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: everybody's mind to would these little kids and even know

10
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: who Jimmy Carter is?

11
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is perfect? Who are you? And my mom

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: made me do this?

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny? Well, yeah, and I thought this joke

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: was a striking from Saturday Night Live.

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: President Biden made a surprise appearance at a White House

16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: press briefing on Friday, And it's not a great sign

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: when you're at the White House and people are like, whoa,

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: what's the president doing here?

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is going to grow toward election day and

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 3: certainly towards January twentieth.

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Of what the hell?

23
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: So we just sounds awful and incoherent and is on

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: the decline by December January. I think the president may

25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: be hospitalized.

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just thought of this.

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: So if Trump wins, you know, a pretty good move

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: for kamalas she should be angling for this would be

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Biden stepped down. I am the first woman president. I

30
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: am the first woman president. Get it, you know, I

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: get it notched, it goes down in history. I'm the

32
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: first female president of American history for the final two months,

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 3: three months or whatever until Trump takes over.

34
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: Because Biden shouldn't be president.

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: I'd throw an asterisk up there next to her name

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: of the Wikipedia, but I guess it's legit. It's like

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: Cayu who served for three weeks while McKinley was recovering

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: from a sprained ankle or something. Is there have been

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: a couple of guys like that who've officially been president

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: for a cup of mead?

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she could have a good couple month run though. Sure. Yeah,

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: declare war on Australia or something. Who knows. We have

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: some breaking news here.

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: Hurricane Milton is now a category five after strengthening it

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: at an exceptional pace as CNN, and is expected to

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: hit Florida in less than two weeks, less than two

47
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: weeks after Helene, but it's expected to hit Wednesday so

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: you know, they've been My whole life had been terrible

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: at predicting how strong hurricanes are gonna be and where

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna hit one going to hit. They're wrong so often,

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: So who knows what's going to happen. But if this

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: hits Florida and it's really powerful, with FEMA stretched as

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: thin as it is, this could really explode. I mean,

54
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: it's already a big political story on the right.

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: Holy con and again with the caveat that frightening you

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: about weather is a mainstay of modern media. According to

57
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: the National Hurricane Center, Milton's mind boggling rapid intensification is

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: nearly without precedent.

59
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: It's a superstorm because a climate change and Donald Trump

60
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: said climate change is a hoax.

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: Is what you'll hear for a while.

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: According to more than forty years of data from the

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: National Hurricane Center, Milton's wind speeds have increased by ninety

64
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: miles per hour in less than twenty four hours. The

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: storm has nearly tripled the rapid intensification criteria. Bab bah

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: Bah intensified faster than any other storm in the Gulf

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: of Mexico. Only two hurricanes strengthened more than Milton in

68
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: a twenty four hour period, two thousand and five's Wilma

69
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: in two thousand and seven's Felix.

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: Now Ron DeSantis, the incredibly competent governor of Florida has

71
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: done a fantastic job with a couple of these storms

72
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: in his tenure, so he'll be on top of it

73
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: as much as anybody can be. But in terms of

74
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: the federal response, this could you really ramp up what

75
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: is already a huge political story, some of it true,

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: some of it not true. But as we played earlier,

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: Tom Cotton on Meat the Press yesterday explaining, how wait

78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: a second, that whole we don't have money for the hurricane,

79
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: but we've got money for illegal immigration. We got money

80
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: anytime you need to bail out college students. We got

81
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: money for all kinds of different things. If you need it,

82
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: you find it somewhere. But for this, you don't have money.

83
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: What are you talking about.

84
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: We'll be diving back into that very topic in a

85
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: few minutes. Stay two and if you.

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: Can wow you know, I was thinking about this.

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: When I was reading about rond de Santis being so

88
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: competent handling the hurricane. What you want out of an

89
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: executive you see, the president of the United States is

90
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: the leader of the executive branch. They're an executive, like

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: the executive that runs your company, and you shouldn't care

92
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: whether you want to have a beer with them, or

93
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 3: whether they.

94
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Stand correctly or smile.

95
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: The right way, or have a pleasing voice, or any

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: of the other things that we choose our chief executive

97
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: of the whole freaking country on. You don't care about

98
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: that for your business. You just want them to be really,

99
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: really damn smart and competent. And that's what Ron de

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: Santis is. But he couldn't smile naturally for some reason,

101
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: and he didn't know where to put his hands, and

102
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: so he can't be president.

103
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. He's an idiot. Get right of him.

104
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: Ustream the minute Trump announced he was coming back. But yeah,

105
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: you're right, you're right. Yes, it's it's beyond frustrating. It's

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: it's practically it's borderline insane. I mean, it's like as

107
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: somebody opting for a meal that looks really good even

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: they know it's even though they know it's riddled with tomain,

109
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 4: just go ahead and shout out on that instead of

110
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: the more humble looking meal that will nourish their bodies.

111
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Yes, it's insane.

112
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: It's similar to picking your mate based on how hot

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: they are. That will that will, that will reveal itself

114
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 3: fairly quickly, and I think we do that with our presidents.

115
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: Also, uh yeah, certainly hotness can factor in sexual attraction.

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, if.

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: You put all other concerns aside in favor of that,

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 4: you are going to be unhappy.

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: So I want to do this. Just briefly, I thought

120
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: this was damn interesting. I read this last night when

121
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: I was at a restaurant waiting for my giant Fudge

122
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: Sunday to show up.

123
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I ordered a Fudge Sunday as a g a grown man.

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: How's by myself. It's not like I was with my

125
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: kids and we're doing something as a family. I was

126
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: by myself in ordered a giant, not even the small one,

127
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: a giant fudge Sunday.

128
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: You were a child.

129
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: I believe this is an expression of your desire to

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: return to the simplicity of childhood.

131
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: And it's funny. I wasn't high, which this story is

132
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: about marijuana. I was reading this.

133
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: It's funny.

134
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: I was reading about marijuana, not high, reading about marijuana

135
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: while I wait for an.

136
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Ice cream Sunday.

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: Sorry, I got a contact high from reading about it.

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: Article in the New York Times. As America's marijuana use grows,

139
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: so do the harms. The drug, legal in most of

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: the country now, is widely seen as non addictive and

141
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: safe for some users. These assumptions are dangerously wrong, and

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: a couple of the points in this article that I

143
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: thought were interesting.

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: They focused on.

145
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: Mid Coast main a pediatrician who sees teenagers so dependent

146
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: on that they consume it practically all day, every day.

147
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: A remarkably scary amount, said this doctor, and from Washington

148
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: State to West Virginia, psychiatrists are treating a rising number

149
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: of people who use the drug that have brought on delusions, paranoia,

150
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: and other symptoms of psychosis. In the emergency departments of

151
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike, physicians

152
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug marijuana,

153
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: a potentially devastating condition that was once rare but now common.

154
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, here come the inevitable emails.

155
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: I've been smoking pot for years. I've never had a problem.

156
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: All right, look, let me read this paragraph.

157
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: Smoked cigarettes for sixty five years, and he didn't get

158
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: lung cancer.

159
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: That proves nothing.

160
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's different. Now read this paragraph. This is

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: the really the main reason I want to bring you

162
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: this story. A thirty three billion dollar industry has taken root,

163
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: and I'm sure it's growing, turning out an ever expanding

164
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: range of cannabis products so intoxicating.

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: They bear little resemblance to.

166
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: The marijuana available a generation ago, a generation, a generation ago.

167
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: So we're not even talking about hippies from the sixties

168
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: what they were smoking. We're talking about what you were

169
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: smoking in the eighties. Yeah, bears little resemblance. So if

170
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: you think you have in your mind what pot is

171
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: based on your smoking it in the early nineties in college,

172
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: you don't. That's whatever. That to me, that was the

173
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: key to the article. I wish that had been the headline.

174
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: That's what everybody should realize. They should give it a

175
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: different name. We're talking about something different than what you

176
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: were doing, and that would be helpful for pot, Yes,

177
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: that would be helpful for talking about, you know, what

178
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: the youth are doing today. Many users believe, for instance,

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: they couldnt become addicted to cannabis, but millions do.

180
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Sains the new York Times.

181
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's one psychological addiction that may be a

182
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: physical addiction, and the other thing is And I realized

183
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: this later life than I should have, but I tell

184
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: everybody who wants to talk about it. It finally dawned

185
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: on me as a guy who was I mean, I

186
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: was never like out of control or anything like that,

187
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: but I've definitely enjoyed walking on the wild side at

188
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 4: various points in my youth. The idea that I will

189
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: mess with my brain chemistry, then it will go back

190
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: to normal, and then I'm gonna mess with my brain

191
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: chemistry again, and it'll go back to normal, and over

192
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 4: and over and over again. Eventually, your brain chemistry does

193
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: not go back to normal. You've changed it forever. Sometimes

194
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: you damaged it terribly, sometimes somewhat. The idea that you

195
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 4: can just mess with your brain without end and it'll

196
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 4: be fine is a strange notion.

197
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Well, and again, I'll say it for the fifth time.

198
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: The pot, the marijuana products that your high schooler's take

199
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: is using now bears little resemblance to what you were doing.

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: So throw all that out the window. This is a

201
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: new thing.

202
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: That is that is troubling, and and I and I hope,

203
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: I hope society catches up to talking about it in

204
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: a different way or whatever instead of it just being

205
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: kind of funny.

206
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Haha. Yeah, whatever.

207
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're right, and that is disturbing, but it's

208
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: you know, if you if dope is super intense, you

209
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: don't smoke as much of it.

210
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: Well, these kids that they were you're using as example

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: in the newspaper apparently were all day every day.

212
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get what you're saying. You just you don't

213
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: take as many hits of it because you don't need to.

214
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: You're already wasted. So there's kind of a counterbalancing thing.

215
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, there were not emergency rooms full of psychosis

216
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: cases back when it was illegal. Why part of its

217
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: societal but part of it's legal too. It's just the

218
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 4: whole decriminalizing drugs thing has been a really interesting experiment

219
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: to watch play out, whether it's in Oregon, which is

220
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: reeling from thousands and thousands of overdose deaths and a tragedy,

221
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 4: a human tragedy, to the problem with psychosis from too

222
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: much marijuana smoking. I think we've all learned something.

223
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, a devastating condition that was once rare but now common,

224
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: say physicians all across the country. That ain't good an

225
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: Oregon hippiest place you can come up with, they tried

226
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: it and thought it is ain't working, and change the

227
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: laws back again. You think there's any chance we do

228
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: anything around marijuana or have like limitations on its, how

229
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: powerful can be or something like that.

230
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: Those tens of billions of dollars you're talking about the

231
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: industry is worth now and growing.

232
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Are going to be arguing against that excellent point. We

233
00:12:50,080 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: got a lot more in the way. Stay here. Played

234
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: this audio earlier.

235
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: It's a mob ransacking a seven to eleven in beautiful Anaheim, California.

236
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: Kelly Unicorney have beset with lawlessness more or less from

237
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: one end to the other, although in the Red counties

238
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: it's not nearly as bad.

239
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: That's highly troubling.

240
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: And as executive producer Hanson just said, in my ear

241
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: these mobs are almost always kids on se bikes, which

242
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: my son has, when they're expensive bicycles, and so what

243
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: are you doing riding around one thousand dollars bikes then

244
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: smashing the guy in the convenience store and robin and

245
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: so it's probably not out of you know what the

246
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: left would claim they're hungry, they need baby medicine.

247
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: They're just vandals.

248
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: Please a bunch of seventeen year olds. These se bikes,

249
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: I'm not hip to that. Are they electric type bikes.

250
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: Or just a bike, like a particular kind of bike,

251
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: and like they'refore tricks and stuff. Like my son Wheeli's

252
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: everywhere he goes. He does not ride with what both

253
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: ways on the ground ever, just as back and go

254
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 3: around corners and stuff like that. Some but they've become

255
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: kind of a cultural thing. Like some old guy yelled

256
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: at him at the other day, he said, get your

257
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: effing wheel down, dropped an F bomb on him. So

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's like the people have a

259
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: view that the people in the se bikes are.

260
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Thugs or what that is.

261
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: I kind of got mobbed by a group of se

262
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: bikes one time and it scared the crap out of me.

263
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: They're riding straight at me doing wheelies.

264
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: And I thought, oh my god, I'm gonna hit him,

265
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: and then they turn at the last second.

266
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: That's a trick. It's got a name. I forget what

267
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: it's called.

268
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: Scaring old guys, Scaring old people, Yeah, scaring.

269
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: People who don't want to run over you.

270
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to hang on a second. I'm going

271
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: to edit my list of things to worry about. I've

272
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: got to insert bicyclists having both tires down right behind

273
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: people who have too many white flowers in their landscaping

274
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: and not enough color.

275
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: I think the I think maybe I could be wrong.

276
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: I could have just been a crazy old guy. But

277
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: the whole se bike craze thing has gotten attached to

278
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: like this mob mentality violence that we were just playing

279
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: for you. Yeah, attacking convenience store. They ride those bikes.

280
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: So speaking of that sort of thing.

281
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: Peter Helmsley or Hemsley is a hell of a chef.

282
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: Apparently he's also a good writer.

283
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: He is closing down a restaurant in San Francisco and

284
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: the crime ridden downtown just two years after opening it.

285
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: This restaurant won like all of the global honors in

286
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: its first year of operation. It was getting Michelin stars

287
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: and stuff. I haven't said it yet, apa tic or

288
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: a photic. I'm not sure how you pronounced it exactly,

289
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: but it was mostly fish seafood focused menu. But I

290
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: mean just amazing acclaim and he's shutting it down because

291
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 4: of the state of the city. He cites being and

292
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 4: I quote, at the ugly butt end of a desolate

293
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: convention center suckhole in post pany apocalypse as being a

294
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: key factor in the restaurants demise. Again, great chef, better writer,

295
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to say that again. At the ugly

296
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: butt end of a desolated convention center suck hole in

297
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,359
Speaker 4: the post pany apocalypse.

298
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: What's the panny is in pandemic?

299
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, okay, that's where I was confused. Butt end

300
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: of good freeze.

301
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let's see.

302
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: And he talked about some of the accomplishments even in

303
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: the right part of town. These these would be huge

304
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: accomplishments in that timeframe for any operation. But the fact

305
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: that we did this at the ugly butt end of

306
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: a desolation convenor center suck hole in the convention post

307
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: panty apocalypse is nothing short of a small miracle. Yeah, unbelievable.

308
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: And then they get into in the Daily Mail. It

309
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,119
Speaker 4: happens to be the list of closures in downtown San Francisco,

310
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: including the gigantic Macy's that's been a been a fixture

311
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: in Union Square since nineteen forty seven. They just revealed

312
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: sixteen percent of their stock was stolen.

313
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, almost.

314
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: Twenty percent of everything in the store was closing. So

315
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: they're going to be shutting their doors. That's incredible.

316
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. What does the states the storm zone need,

317
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: mister president? What are the states and the storm zone?

318
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: What do they need?

319
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: What you saw today going the storm zone?

320
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I'm learning what storm you're talking about.

321
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's.

322
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 6: Everything they need.

323
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: They're very happy about the board.

324
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: It's a national security issue, as you've pointed out many times.

325
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: That's why the cover up is going on. It's kind

326
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: of a weird thing in a democracy of how to

327
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: handle this. But the current president is a brain is shot,

328
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: like really shot, and oh how do you handle that

329
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: without putting the country at risk? And it's going to

330
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: be interesting to read the book someday. I'll tell you

331
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: that what storm. I didn't know what storm you're talking about.

332
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: You just went and flew in a helicopter to look

333
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: at the storm damage that storm.

334
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: Well, and with all the death and destruction, so many

335
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: people still waiting to be rescued from Helene, never mind

336
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: the incoming what's the Milton to say? Everybody's happy across

337
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: the board. Yeah, and it's so astonishingly inappropriate. It's a

338
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 4: measure of how bad his brain.

339
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, from a gifted super you know, good at

340
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: the whole empathy thing politician. That's not the way he

341
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: would have handled it ten years ago.

342
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: So one of the controversies emerging from the FEMA response

343
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: to the last hurricane is the slowness of their response.

344
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 4: Some of it might be fair criticism, some of it not.

345
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 4: A disaster response always becomes politicized, but there is absolutely

346
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: a legitimate question about FEMA and its resources. You may

347
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: remember the world's most miserable waste of skin, Olihandra New

348
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: Yorkis saying recently that FEMA was out of money. They

349
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: couldn't take another hurricane, and several people have pointed out, well,

350
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: you've had tens of million, hundreds of millions of dollars

351
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: going to illegal immigrants now for a couple of years,

352
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: and you're out of money. Those stories are closely related,

353
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: but the reporting on that varies depending on who you ask.

354
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 4: Let's go with thirty five here, Michael. This is from

355
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: NBC Nightly News.

356
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 7: Like many disaster responses, the recovery from Helene is proving

357
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 7: to be complicated. And at times slow. Nine days after

358
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 7: the storm, many residents here they may not have running

359
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 7: water for weeks. Crews are still doing search and rescue missions,

360
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 7: and the remote mountainous communities are still struggling with connectivity.

361
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: In the last two.

362
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 7: Years, FEMA has distributed more than one billion dollars in

363
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 7: taxpayer money to shelter migrants in cities across the US,

364
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 7: but the White House and FEMA say that's from a

365
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 7: separate government program, not for disaster relief, and there's no

366
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 7: evidence funds have been diverted.

367
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 4: Okay, so money being fungible everything, honey, that's yeah. I

368
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 4: spend a million dollars on motorcycles, but I'm out.

369
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: Of golf money. I need golf money, right, Come on.

370
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: So here is KJP the delightful Little White House paid liar.

371
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: The first eight seconds or so of this are from

372
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 4: last week, and then the next section is from October

373
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 4: of twenty two.

374
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: Note to the contrast in what she says.

375
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 8: It's just categorically before No, Biden did not take FEMA

376
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 8: relief money to use to use on migrants. So FEMA

377
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 8: regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site

378
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 8: to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and

379
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 8: other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency

380
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 8: Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and not

381
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 8: non for profit organizations upon requests to support humanitarian relief

382
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 8: for migrants.

383
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 4: Okay, so they've spent a billion dollars supporting quote unquote migrants,

384
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 4: and it comes to rescuing Americans, they say, we're out

385
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: of money.

386
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: That was a different fund.

387
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: This is one of those things that I have trouble

388
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: grasping because it seems so obvious to me that it

389
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: doesn't even require explanation, but apparently it does. I mean,

390
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: how does everybody not understand fungible the whole concept, but

391
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: it comes up all the time in politics. No, no, no, no,

392
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: Aram's not going to use that money for nuclear weapons.

393
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: We gave it to him for food. What. Yeah. Yeah,

394
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to.

395
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 4: Explain that sort of thing and not be too hip

396
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: for the room, because not everybody that's as much time.

397
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: You're stupid. If you don't understand it, you're just bone stupid.

398
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: Oh if you don't get it, you're stick. How can

399
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 3: you not understand that if you spend your money on

400
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: a fancy vacation and don't have money for rent. You

401
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: could have used the vacation money for your rent.

402
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: How do you not get that? I'm not sure.

403
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: I'm willing to call people bone stupid, but that argument

404
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: is pretty strong. Speaking of strong arguers, none other than

405
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: Tom Cotton, let's jump down, turn around, and pick a

406
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 4: bail of Tom Cotton arguing with d NC spokeswoman Kristin

407
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 4: Welker on Meet the Press. It's clip number eighty one,

408
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 4: Michael hit It.

409
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 9: My broader question to you, I think is about this misinformation.

410
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 5: Do you think this is a time to put falsehoods aside?

411
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 5: Like the idea that FEMA funds are being redirected to migrants,

412
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 5: which is.

413
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: Just not true.

414
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: It is true that FEMA and the Department of Homeland

415
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 5: Security have been spending billions of dollars on migrants. I

416
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: understand some people say they're separate fines, but we just

417
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: passed a short term spending bill. It's very common for

418
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 5: the administration to come and ask for permission to move

419
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: money between fines, especially to prepare for emergencies. And second,

420
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: I would note that this administration seems to have no

421
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 5: problem finding money when they want to spend it on

422
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 5: their priorities. When they need hundreds of billions of dollars

423
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: to pay off student loans for graduate students and gender

424
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 5: studies programs, they somehow find it. When it's trying to

425
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 5: get helicopters to deliver food and water and cellular service

426
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 5: and life saving medicine into these mountain valleys, they somehow

427
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: can't seem to find the money.

428
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's really two different issues. There's the fungibility

429
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: issue of well, you spend a ton of money from

430
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: your department on illegals, so if you're out of money,

431
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: But then also the whenever you're out of money actually

432
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: legitimately out of money or don't have money, you find

433
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 3: it somewhere, even if it's illegal, but not in this case.

434
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: I think this is a governmental example of what we've

435
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: talked about in the context of living your personal life.

436
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: What you do, how you spend your time, those are

437
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: your priorities. You work seventy five hours a week, but

438
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 4: you say my priority is my kid and your kids

439
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: like I haven't seen in a week, your priority is work. Well,

440
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 4: the administration has made clear what its priority is.

441
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: In that whole.

442
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: Well, that's from a different fund, Well, you spent a

443
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: billion dollars on that, and now you're saying we don't

444
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: have money for this and we can't get enough helicopters there.

445
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, you have told us what your priorities are. Right.

446
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: And Hurricane Milton, which is the least threatening name I

447
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: can possibly imagine, How could Milton hurt me? Hurricane Milton

448
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: that's bearing down on Florida is now a Category five.

449
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Who knows what it'll be when it finally hits land Wednesday,

450
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 3: but man, if it does much damage and FEMA gets

451
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: stretched even thinner, and there are you know, people standing

452
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: on roofs or any of those images happening, this is

453
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 3: a growing political issue for a presidential campaign.

454
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and most days I've given up on any hope

455
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: for the government being rained in and.

456
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: It's made me happy here.

457
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 4: But today is one of those those awful days where

458
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: I feel like maybe we the people can do some good.

459
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: And I will point out again, and I say this

460
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 4: especially to my more progressive friends, but everybody, really, if

461
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 4: you join with us in being a fiscal conservative, a

462
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: real budget hawk, and just squeeze out the waste, the fraud,

463
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 4: the abuse, the redundancy, the unnecessary departments, the giant, bloated

464
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 4: bureaucracy join with us and doing that, we will have

465
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: scads of money to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

466
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 4: We will have all sorts of money for mental health care,

467
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 4: for disaster relief.

468
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: For the downtrodden, for.

469
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: Tutors, for our underprivileged kids in cities, you name it.

470
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 4: We'll have more money than we can spend. Don't let

471
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: the guver be the most powerful lobbyist of the government anymore.

472
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: And there's a way out of this. Scads is a

473
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: good word. I haven't used scads much lately.

474
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: It felt good, So right before we go to break,

475
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: I want to mention this because I thought it was interesting.

476
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 3: Political had quite a story over the weekend, with nearly

477
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: two dozen Democrats describing Kamala Harris as running a do

478
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: no harm risk averse race in which she's not really campaigning,

479
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: complaining to political behind the scenes.

480
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Now, the whole do.

481
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: No harm risk averse is clearly a strategy, and it

482
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: might work for she might get elected. But the not

483
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: working very hard part that's a little hard to explain.

484
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: Political writing of the remaining days blah blah blah, oh,

485
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: get back to here. She has spent more than half

486
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: of the day since the convention in Washington, d C.

487
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: Not doing anything, and a lot of people in the

488
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: Democratic Party can't understand why Democratic operatives, including some in

489
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's own staffers, tell Political they're growing increasingly concerned

490
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: about our relatively light campaign schedule, which has her holding

491
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: fewer events than Donald Trump and avoiding unscripted interactions. But

492
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: just the fact that she's not doing much at all

493
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: in a tied race. People are bitching to political behind

494
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: her back about it.

495
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: And I get that.

496
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 4: I just think, and this is obvious, but in twenty twenty,

497
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: they had a weak candidate who they hid in the

498
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 4: basement and they won barely.

499
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: They have a weak candidate, they're hiding her in the basement.

500
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: But how do you handle the candidate on that?

501
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: Does she say, okay, so where we're going today and

502
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: you say, we've decided to take the day off, give

503
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: you a little rest.

504
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: But shouldn't I be out campaigning?

505
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: No?

506
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: No, no, we think it's best because you.

507
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: Can't say to her, yeah, we're keeping your events light

508
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: because you're kind of a dunderpat and every time you

509
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 3: talk it does this more.

510
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: M than yeah. Well, and she's actually.

511
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: Decent enough on this campaign stage reading her stump speech.

512
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: Well, it should be great on Kimmel tomorrow night or

513
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: whenever she's on. I'm sure, Yeah, she'll be good on

514
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: our stern. She'll be good on a view tomorrow. She's

515
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 3: doing a bunch of that sort of stuff this week. Well,

516
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: and it's the luxury of being the Democrat. If she's

517
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: not good, you won't hear about it except on conservative media.

518
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: To the sixty Minutes Interview tonight with Kamala Harris. I

519
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 3: love sixty Minutes. I've been watching it since I was

520
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 3: a little kid. I've hardly ever missed an episode in

521
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 3: like forty years. But I don't have much confidence that

522
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: if she did one of her you know roundabout weird

523
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: doesn't say anything circular, non nail silence, right, I don't.

524
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: I don't believe they'd are it, don't. I don't break.

525
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: Now we can do a little preview and see what

526
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 4: we think of the clips they've released so far.

527
00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: Cool, that's on the way.

528
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 6: If the entire sixty minutes Interview with Kamala Harris tonight

529
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 6: has no negative moments for Kamala Harris, then you know,

530
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 6: it was.

531
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: A a hack effort at journalism, because there's no way

532
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: she could sit for a long interview and not have

533
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: a negative moment.

534
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: Let's see how we liked the clips they've released thus far.

535
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Start with sixty seven, Michael.

536
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 9: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

537
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 10: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted

538
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 10: in a number of movements in that region by Israel

539
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 10: that were very much prompted by or a result of

540
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 10: many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen

541
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 10: in the region.

542
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what she said there. I don't know

543
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: what she said. She is it was really hard. That

544
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: was also not the clip on my list. I mean

545
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: it was fine. Uh, what's the next clip you got?

546
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: Michael?

547
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 9: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister

548
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 9: of net and Yahoo?

549
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 10: I think, with all due respect, the better question is

550
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 10: do we have an important alliance between the American people

551
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 10: and the Israeli people?

552
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: And the answer to.

553
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 10: That question is yes.

554
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: That was actually a pretty good answer that clearly this

555
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: one was sad.

556
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: That one was clearly one.

557
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: She was ready to go on how to answer that,

558
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: and she brought that she's good at remembering those things.

559
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: The other one she was on her own, and I

560
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: don't know what.

561
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: She said, Michael, do you have sixty six handy?

562
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 9: We supply Israel with billions of dollars in military aid,

563
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 9: and yet Prime Minister of net and Yahoo seems to

564
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 9: be charting his own course. The Biden Harris administration has

565
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 9: pressed him to agree to cease fire, He's resisted. You

566
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 9: urged him not to go into Lebanon.

567
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: He went in. Anyway, he has.

568
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 9: Promised to make Iran pay for the missile attack, and

569
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 9: that has the potential of expanding the war.

570
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: Does the US.

571
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 9: Have no sway over Prime Minister net and Yahoo.

572
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 10: The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to

573
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 10: defend itself against two hundred ballistic missiles that were just

574
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 10: meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel.

575
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 10: And when we think about the threat that Hamas Hezbela

576
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 10: presents Iran, I think that it is without any question,

577
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 10: are imperative to do what we can to allow Israel

578
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 10: to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now, the

579
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 10: work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel

580
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 10: is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which

581
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 10: include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this

582
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 10: war to end, the need for a deal to be

583
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 10: done which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire.

584
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 10: And we're not going to stop in terms of putting

585
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 10: that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders.

586
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: Okay, And then then he presses her and she gets

587
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: into that whole rambling nonsense. The last part of that

588
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: was actually pretty decent. The first two thirds, though, really

589
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: struck me as a reasonably bright eighth grader who'd read

590
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: the first chapter of a book and was giving an

591
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 4: oral report on the entire book.

592
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: Right because he had just asked, or he just pointed

593
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: out that you've said, don't do this, don't do that,

594
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: don't do this, don't do that, and they went ahead

595
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: and did all of them. So do we have no

596
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: ability to influenced them? And then she went into a

597
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: long why they have a right to do what they want? Well, okay,

598
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: but then why do you keep telling them not to

599
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: do things?

600
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: It would be so much easier if she could just say, look, Bill,

601
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: we're pretending to pressure them because it's important to us

602
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 4: in our electoral prospects, because people have no realistic grasp

603
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 4: with the way the world works. But beyond the scenes

604
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: worth telling, I'm gonna go ahead and whoop some ass.

605
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: Which is the only thing that really makes sense is

606
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: that all our statements of don't do this, don't do

607
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: that are for Muslims in Michigan.

608
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: They're not for Benjamin.

609
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 6: Then.

610
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 10: Now, Jack and Joe just had a very robust and

611
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 10: productive conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important

612
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 10: issues together in this moment in time, and now together

613
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 10: in this moment they will have final thoughts with Armstrong

614
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 10: and Getty. This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime,

615
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 10: and it is time to share the final thoughts they

616
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 10: have been thinking. And that time is every day.

617
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: Unburdened by what has been There you go. Here's our

618
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a final

619
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: thought from everybody on the crew.

620
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 4: Our technical director will lead the way, Michael Final thought.

621
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: B Favioli's Oreo ice cream sandwiches, hot pretzel snacks and

622
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 2: maple cake.

623
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 4: Yesterday was the greatest day ever in my costco free samples.

624
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Oh that is a good one. Yeah, maple cake. Yeah,

625
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it's delicious. From the bakery. Oh jeez, well.

626
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: Katie Green are esteemed newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.

627
