WEBVTT - You're Bone Stupid 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.960 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:17.920 Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.560 In honor of Jimmy Carter's hundredth birthday, more than four 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.440 thousand children around the country sent him hand drawn cards 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:37.280 bearing messages like who are you? And my mom made 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:37.879 me do this? 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.680 That was a well crafted joke because the setup led 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.000 everybody's mind to would these little kids and even know 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:51.360 who Jimmy Carter is? 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:57.240 Yeah, which is perfect? Who are you? And my mom 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:58.120 made me do this? 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:07.800 Oh that's funny? Well, yeah, and I thought this joke 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.880 was a striking from Saturday Night Live. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.080 President Biden made a surprise appearance at a White House 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.880 press briefing on Friday, And it's not a great sign 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.360 when you're at the White House and people are like, whoa, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.000 what's the president doing here? 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:23.319 Yeah? 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.800 Yeah, that is going to grow toward election day and 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.919 certainly towards January twentieth. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:32.760 Of what the hell? 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.640 So we just sounds awful and incoherent and is on 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.760 the decline by December January. I think the president may 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.880 be hospitalized. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.880 I don't know. I just thought of this. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.760 So if Trump wins, you know, a pretty good move 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.720 for kamalas she should be angling for this would be 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.400 Biden stepped down. I am the first woman president. I 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.320 am the first woman president. Get it, you know, I 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.400 get it notched, it goes down in history. I'm the 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.240 first female president of American history for the final two months, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.399 three months or whatever until Trump takes over. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.240 Because Biden shouldn't be president. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.200 I'd throw an asterisk up there next to her name 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.640 of the Wikipedia, but I guess it's legit. It's like 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.079 Cayu who served for three weeks while McKinley was recovering 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.360 from a sprained ankle or something. Is there have been 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.800 a couple of guys like that who've officially been president 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.519 for a cup of mead? 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.079 Yeah, but she could have a good couple month run though. Sure. Yeah, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.240 declare war on Australia or something. Who knows. We have 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.360 some breaking news here. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.680 Hurricane Milton is now a category five after strengthening it 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.360 at an exceptional pace as CNN, and is expected to 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.240 hit Florida in less than two weeks, less than two 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.320 weeks after Helene, but it's expected to hit Wednesday so 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.680 you know, they've been My whole life had been terrible 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.280 at predicting how strong hurricanes are gonna be and where 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.640 they're gonna hit one going to hit. They're wrong so often, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.840 So who knows what's going to happen. But if this 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.040 hits Florida and it's really powerful, with FEMA stretched as 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.600 thin as it is, this could really explode. I mean, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.840 it's already a big political story on the right. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.040 Holy con and again with the caveat that frightening you 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.760 about weather is a mainstay of modern media. According to 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:30.920 the National Hurricane Center, Milton's mind boggling rapid intensification is 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.280 nearly without precedent. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.680 It's a superstorm because a climate change and Donald Trump 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.400 said climate change is a hoax. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.560 Is what you'll hear for a while. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.080 According to more than forty years of data from the 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.000 National Hurricane Center, Milton's wind speeds have increased by ninety 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.160 miles per hour in less than twenty four hours. The 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.920 storm has nearly tripled the rapid intensification criteria. Bab bah 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.040 Bah intensified faster than any other storm in the Gulf 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:05.400 of Mexico. Only two hurricanes strengthened more than Milton in 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.080 a twenty four hour period, two thousand and five's Wilma 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.040 in two thousand and seven's Felix. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:16.280 Now Ron DeSantis, the incredibly competent governor of Florida has 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.160 done a fantastic job with a couple of these storms 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.240 in his tenure, so he'll be on top of it 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.800 as much as anybody can be. But in terms of 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:31.159 the federal response, this could you really ramp up what 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.040 is already a huge political story, some of it true, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.359 some of it not true. But as we played earlier, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.360 Tom Cotton on Meat the Press yesterday explaining, how wait 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.640 a second, that whole we don't have money for the hurricane, 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.640 but we've got money for illegal immigration. We got money 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.040 anytime you need to bail out college students. We got 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.719 money for all kinds of different things. If you need it, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.440 you find it somewhere. But for this, you don't have money. 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:56.320 What are you talking about. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.080 We'll be diving back into that very topic in a 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.440 few minutes. Stay two and if you. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:06.480 Can wow you know, I was thinking about this. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.640 When I was reading about rond de Santis being so 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:17.080 competent handling the hurricane. What you want out of an 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.039 executive you see, the president of the United States is 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.680 the leader of the executive branch. They're an executive, like 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.320 the executive that runs your company, and you shouldn't care 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.360 whether you want to have a beer with them, or 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:32.239 whether they. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.880 Stand correctly or smile. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:40.000 The right way, or have a pleasing voice, or any 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.640 of the other things that we choose our chief executive 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.520 of the whole freaking country on. You don't care about 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.840 that for your business. You just want them to be really, 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.800 really damn smart and competent. And that's what Ron de 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.840 Santis is. But he couldn't smile naturally for some reason, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.280 and he didn't know where to put his hands, and 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:58.520 so he can't be president. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.360 Sorry about that. He's an idiot. Get right of him. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.440 Ustream the minute Trump announced he was coming back. But yeah, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.280 you're right, you're right. Yes, it's it's beyond frustrating. It's 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:14.200 it's practically it's borderline insane. I mean, it's like as 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.680 somebody opting for a meal that looks really good even 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.400 they know it's even though they know it's riddled with tomain, 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.040 just go ahead and shout out on that instead of 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.480 the more humble looking meal that will nourish their bodies. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.919 Yes, it's insane. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.560 It's similar to picking your mate based on how hot 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.360 they are. That will that will, that will reveal itself 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.600 fairly quickly, and I think we do that with our presidents. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:42.680 Also, uh yeah, certainly hotness can factor in sexual attraction. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.200 But yeah, if. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.120 You put all other concerns aside in favor of that, 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:48.360 you are going to be unhappy. 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.440 So I want to do this. Just briefly, I thought 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.520 this was damn interesting. I read this last night when 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.920 I was at a restaurant waiting for my giant Fudge 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.800 Sunday to show up. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.400 I ordered a Fudge Sunday as a g a grown man. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.200 How's by myself. It's not like I was with my 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.360 kids and we're doing something as a family. I was 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.240 by myself in ordered a giant, not even the small one, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.120 a giant fudge Sunday. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.640 You were a child. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.400 I believe this is an expression of your desire to 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.680 return to the simplicity of childhood. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.520 And it's funny. I wasn't high, which this story is 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.120 about marijuana. I was reading this. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:26.640 It's funny. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.560 I was reading about marijuana, not high, reading about marijuana 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:31.600 while I wait for an. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:32.280 Ice cream Sunday. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.120 Sorry, I got a contact high from reading about it. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.120 Article in the New York Times. As America's marijuana use grows, 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.360 so do the harms. The drug, legal in most of 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.040 the country now, is widely seen as non addictive and 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:48.080 safe for some users. These assumptions are dangerously wrong, and 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.880 a couple of the points in this article that I 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.520 thought were interesting. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.040 They focused on. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:59.280 Mid Coast main a pediatrician who sees teenagers so dependent 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.880 on that they consume it practically all day, every day. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.920 A remarkably scary amount, said this doctor, and from Washington 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.320 State to West Virginia, psychiatrists are treating a rising number 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:16.200 of people who use the drug that have brought on delusions, paranoia, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.520 and other symptoms of psychosis. In the emergency departments of 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.080 small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike, physicians 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.240 encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug marijuana, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.120 a potentially devastating condition that was once rare but now common. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.240 Yeah, here come the inevitable emails. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.720 I've been smoking pot for years. I've never had a problem. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.600 All right, look, let me read this paragraph. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.080 Smoked cigarettes for sixty five years, and he didn't get 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:43.679 lung cancer. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:44.520 That proves nothing. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.480 Yeah, and it's different. Now read this paragraph. This is 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:48.880 the really the main reason I want to bring you 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:53.480 this story. A thirty three billion dollar industry has taken root, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.920 and I'm sure it's growing, turning out an ever expanding 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.880 range of cannabis products so intoxicating. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.439 They bear little resemblance to. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:07.000 The marijuana available a generation ago, a generation, a generation ago. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.920 So we're not even talking about hippies from the sixties 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.080 what they were smoking. We're talking about what you were 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:18.360 smoking in the eighties. Yeah, bears little resemblance. So if 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.680 you think you have in your mind what pot is 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:26.040 based on your smoking it in the early nineties in college, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.920 you don't. That's whatever. That to me, that was the 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.920 key to the article. I wish that had been the headline. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.280 That's what everybody should realize. They should give it a 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.360 different name. We're talking about something different than what you 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.320 were doing, and that would be helpful for pot, Yes, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.679 that would be helpful for talking about, you know, what 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:47.320 the youth are doing today. Many users believe, for instance, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.920 they couldnt become addicted to cannabis, but millions do. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.160 Sains the new York Times. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.640 Oh yeah, there's one psychological addiction that may be a 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.520 physical addiction, and the other thing is And I realized 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.880 this later life than I should have, but I tell 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.640 everybody who wants to talk about it. It finally dawned 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.200 on me as a guy who was I mean, I 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.000 was never like out of control or anything like that, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.240 but I've definitely enjoyed walking on the wild side at 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:16.319 various points in my youth. The idea that I will 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.480 mess with my brain chemistry, then it will go back 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.720 to normal, and then I'm gonna mess with my brain 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.080 chemistry again, and it'll go back to normal, and over 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.199 and over and over again. Eventually, your brain chemistry does 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.040 not go back to normal. You've changed it forever. Sometimes 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.840 you damaged it terribly, sometimes somewhat. The idea that you 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.679 can just mess with your brain without end and it'll 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.200 be fine is a strange notion. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.560 Well, and again, I'll say it for the fifth time. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:51.800 The pot, the marijuana products that your high schooler's take 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:57.080 is using now bears little resemblance to what you were doing. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.840 So throw all that out the window. This is a 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:00.559 new thing. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.880 That is that is troubling, and and I and I hope, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.680 I hope society catches up to talking about it in 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.719 a different way or whatever instead of it just being 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.319 kind of funny. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.000 Haha. Yeah, whatever. 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.920 Yeah, you're you're right, and that is disturbing, but it's 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.840 you know, if you if dope is super intense, you 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:24.920 don't smoke as much of it. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.319 Well, these kids that they were you're using as example 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.520 in the newspaper apparently were all day every day. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.839 Yeah, I get what you're saying. You just you don't 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.040 take as many hits of it because you don't need to. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.960 You're already wasted. So there's kind of a counterbalancing thing. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.800 But yeah, there were not emergency rooms full of psychosis 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.240 cases back when it was illegal. Why part of its 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.040 societal but part of it's legal too. It's just the 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:59.720 whole decriminalizing drugs thing has been a really interesting experiment 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.320 to watch play out, whether it's in Oregon, which is 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:07.480 reeling from thousands and thousands of overdose deaths and a tragedy, 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.040 a human tragedy, to the problem with psychosis from too 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:17.320 much marijuana smoking. I think we've all learned something. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.679 Yeah, a devastating condition that was once rare but now common, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.920 say physicians all across the country. That ain't good an 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.200 Oregon hippiest place you can come up with, they tried 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.320 it and thought it is ain't working, and change the 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.200 laws back again. You think there's any chance we do 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:39.040 anything around marijuana or have like limitations on its, how 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.480 powerful can be or something like that. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.760 Those tens of billions of dollars you're talking about the 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.640 industry is worth now and growing. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:50.000 Are going to be arguing against that excellent point. We 0:12:50.080 --> 0:13:03.080 got a lot more in the way. Stay here. Played 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.160 this audio earlier. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.880 It's a mob ransacking a seven to eleven in beautiful Anaheim, California. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.920 Kelly Unicorney have beset with lawlessness more or less from 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.840 one end to the other, although in the Red counties 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.000 it's not nearly as bad. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.200 That's highly troubling. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.080 And as executive producer Hanson just said, in my ear 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.679 these mobs are almost always kids on se bikes, which 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.240 my son has, when they're expensive bicycles, and so what 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.600 are you doing riding around one thousand dollars bikes then 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.280 smashing the guy in the convenience store and robin and 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.360 so it's probably not out of you know what the 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.800 left would claim they're hungry, they need baby medicine. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.120 They're just vandals. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.560 Please a bunch of seventeen year olds. These se bikes, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.320 I'm not hip to that. Are they electric type bikes. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.240 Or just a bike, like a particular kind of bike, 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:55.560 and like they'refore tricks and stuff. Like my son Wheeli's 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.200 everywhere he goes. He does not ride with what both 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.480 ways on the ground ever, just as back and go 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.679 around corners and stuff like that. Some but they've become 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.480 kind of a cultural thing. Like some old guy yelled 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.280 at him at the other day, he said, get your 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.200 effing wheel down, dropped an F bomb on him. So 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.360 I don't know if it's like the people have a 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.680 view that the people in the se bikes are. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.080 Thugs or what that is. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.720 I kind of got mobbed by a group of se 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.680 bikes one time and it scared the crap out of me. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.480 They're riding straight at me doing wheelies. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.680 And I thought, oh my god, I'm gonna hit him, 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:28.960 and then they turn at the last second. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.480 That's a trick. It's got a name. I forget what 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:31.960 it's called. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.280 Scaring old guys, Scaring old people, Yeah, scaring. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.800 People who don't want to run over you. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.680 Yeah, I need to hang on a second. I'm going 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.040 to edit my list of things to worry about. I've 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:49.360 got to insert bicyclists having both tires down right behind 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.600 people who have too many white flowers in their landscaping 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:53.680 and not enough color. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.480 I think the I think maybe I could be wrong. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.320 I could have just been a crazy old guy. But 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.960 the whole se bike craze thing has gotten attached to 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.200 like this mob mentality violence that we were just playing 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.520 for you. Yeah, attacking convenience store. They ride those bikes. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.040 So speaking of that sort of thing. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.440 Peter Helmsley or Hemsley is a hell of a chef. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.040 Apparently he's also a good writer. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.960 He is closing down a restaurant in San Francisco and 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.280 the crime ridden downtown just two years after opening it. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.200 This restaurant won like all of the global honors in 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.720 its first year of operation. It was getting Michelin stars 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.440 and stuff. I haven't said it yet, apa tic or 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.120 a photic. I'm not sure how you pronounced it exactly, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.840 but it was mostly fish seafood focused menu. But I 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:52.240 mean just amazing acclaim and he's shutting it down because 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.040 of the state of the city. He cites being and 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.000 I quote, at the ugly butt end of a desolate 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:03.800 convention center suckhole in post pany apocalypse as being a 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.720 key factor in the restaurants demise. Again, great chef, better writer, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.080 You're gonna have to say that again. At the ugly 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.520 butt end of a desolated convention center suck hole in 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.359 the post pany apocalypse. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.160 What's the panny is in pandemic? 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.360 Oh? Okay, okay, that's where I was confused. Butt end 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.200 of good freeze. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.440 Yeah, yeah, let's see. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.200 And he talked about some of the accomplishments even in 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.000 the right part of town. These these would be huge 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.040 accomplishments in that timeframe for any operation. But the fact 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.680 that we did this at the ugly butt end of 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.960 a desolation convenor center suck hole in the convention post 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:43.960 panty apocalypse is nothing short of a small miracle. Yeah, unbelievable. 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.240 And then they get into in the Daily Mail. It 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:52.119 happens to be the list of closures in downtown San Francisco, 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:56.440 including the gigantic Macy's that's been a been a fixture 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.960 in Union Square since nineteen forty seven. They just revealed 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.120 sixteen percent of their stock was stolen. 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.120 Oh my god, almost. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.520 Twenty percent of everything in the store was closing. So 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.320 they're going to be shutting their doors. That's incredible. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.440 Armstrong and Getty. What does the states the storm zone need, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.800 mister president? What are the states and the storm zone? 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:22.400 What do they need? 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.520 What you saw today going the storm zone? 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.000 Yes, sir, I'm learning what storm you're talking about. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:31.600 Yeah, but that's. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:32.359 Everything they need. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.159 They're very happy about the board. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.680 It's a national security issue, as you've pointed out many times. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.760 That's why the cover up is going on. It's kind 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.040 of a weird thing in a democracy of how to 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.520 handle this. But the current president is a brain is shot, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.960 like really shot, and oh how do you handle that 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.840 without putting the country at risk? And it's going to 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:57.560 be interesting to read the book someday. I'll tell you 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.600 that what storm. I didn't know what storm you're talking about. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.400 You just went and flew in a helicopter to look 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.160 at the storm damage that storm. 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.320 Well, and with all the death and destruction, so many 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.640 people still waiting to be rescued from Helene, never mind 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:17.920 the incoming what's the Milton to say? Everybody's happy across 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:23.119 the board. Yeah, and it's so astonishingly inappropriate. It's a 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.400 measure of how bad his brain. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.159 Yeah, exactly, from a gifted super you know, good at 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.560 the whole empathy thing politician. That's not the way he 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:31.960 would have handled it ten years ago. 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.000 So one of the controversies emerging from the FEMA response 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.240 to the last hurricane is the slowness of their response. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.239 Some of it might be fair criticism, some of it not. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.760 A disaster response always becomes politicized, but there is absolutely 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:55.440 a legitimate question about FEMA and its resources. You may 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.560 remember the world's most miserable waste of skin, Olihandra New 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.600 Yorkis saying recently that FEMA was out of money. They 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.920 couldn't take another hurricane, and several people have pointed out, well, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.000 you've had tens of million, hundreds of millions of dollars 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.359 going to illegal immigrants now for a couple of years, 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.920 and you're out of money. Those stories are closely related, 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:22.480 but the reporting on that varies depending on who you ask. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.680 Let's go with thirty five here, Michael. This is from 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:25.760 NBC Nightly News. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.040 Like many disaster responses, the recovery from Helene is proving 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.240 to be complicated. And at times slow. Nine days after 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.679 the storm, many residents here they may not have running 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.199 water for weeks. Crews are still doing search and rescue missions, 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.520 and the remote mountainous communities are still struggling with connectivity. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:42.520 In the last two. 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.159 Years, FEMA has distributed more than one billion dollars in 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.560 taxpayer money to shelter migrants in cities across the US, 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.600 but the White House and FEMA say that's from a 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.000 separate government program, not for disaster relief, and there's no 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.520 evidence funds have been diverted. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:06.199 Okay, so money being fungible everything, honey, that's yeah. I 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.200 spend a million dollars on motorcycles, but I'm out. 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:13.560 Of golf money. I need golf money, right, Come on. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:20.560 So here is KJP the delightful Little White House paid liar. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.560 The first eight seconds or so of this are from 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.879 last week, and then the next section is from October 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:28.880 of twenty two. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.560 Note to the contrast in what she says. 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.600 It's just categorically before No, Biden did not take FEMA 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:40.399 relief money to use to use on migrants. So FEMA 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.080 regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:48.159 to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:53.160 other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.800 Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and not 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:01.760 non for profit organizations upon requests to support humanitarian relief 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:02.400 for migrants. 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.919 Okay, so they've spent a billion dollars supporting quote unquote migrants, 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.720 and it comes to rescuing Americans, they say, we're out 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:12.119 of money. 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:13.439 That was a different fund. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.879 This is one of those things that I have trouble 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.919 grasping because it seems so obvious to me that it 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:26.000 doesn't even require explanation, but apparently it does. I mean, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:31.199 how does everybody not understand fungible the whole concept, but 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.600 it comes up all the time in politics. No, no, no, no, 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.560 Aram's not going to use that money for nuclear weapons. 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:42.480 We gave it to him for food. What. Yeah. Yeah, 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:43.840 And I'm willing to. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.200 Explain that sort of thing and not be too hip 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.160 for the room, because not everybody that's as much time. 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.000 You're stupid. If you don't understand it, you're just bone stupid. 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.720 Oh if you don't get it, you're stick. How can 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.919 you not understand that if you spend your money on 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.199 a fancy vacation and don't have money for rent. You 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.440
