1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arms Strong and Joe, Katty arm 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Strong and Jettie and he arms Strong and Yetty. It's 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: essentially a buzzer that they're employing. 5 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: This is especially important at American Airlines because it's the 6 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: biggest airline in the US. They have nine different boarding groups, 7 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: which makes it sort of especially confusing for folks. The 8 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: problem is people who are jumping the line. It's known 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: as date lice. That is the lies, and that is 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: the term that the airline uses in some cases. It's 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 2: primarily something that bloggers have come up with, people who 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: hang around the front of the human eye. It is 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: kind of yes, I don't want to be allows either. 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: But the big thing here is that if you scan 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: your boarding pass that American is trying this new technology on, 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: it'll sound an alarm and make it so that you 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: go to the back of the line and they can 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: come back in when. 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: Your group is called okay. So this is you're already 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: through security, you're you're up there at your plane and 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: they say it's time to board, but you're group three, 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: and you try to get up there with group one, 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: and they call you gate lice, and Jake Tapper ridiculously says, 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: sort of dehumanizing whatever, Jake who worries about crap like that, 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: Just whatever, Yeah, okay, I just call you jerks or 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: a holes. It's the same thing. Get in when your 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: group is. If you want a better group, buy your 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: tickets earlier or pay more or whatever. The way it 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: works on gate licets, I'm referred to them as airport apes. 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Who cares? It's it's bored annoyed employees who deal with 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the public all day long. Came up with a semi 32 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: amusing nickname to help, you know, cut into the drudgery 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: of their day a little bit. Jake, It'll be okay, right, 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's the people. There's you know, the the 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: amount of jyvness in media has changed a little bit. 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: You know, back in the day you were utterly dignified 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 1: and besuited and and and you know, obviously very clean 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: language and stuff like that and like that. But it's besuited. 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: It's fine. But like a Jake Tapper, what is it 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: in him that makes him think, well, because of the 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: nature of my job and the people looking in the 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: dignity of the profession. I need to say, well, that's 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: somewhat just do you humanizing? Who's worried about that? Seriously? Anyway, 44 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: back to the lousy, lousy gait, who's worried about this 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: is another question? With Thanksgiving coming up, That's why we're 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: talking about all the travel. Hey, let me let me 47 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: just make a say a word in support of the 48 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: American airlines. We who are in group two don't wish 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: to rub elbows with you Group three paupers, all right, 50 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: know your place Group three, four and five? All right En, 51 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: I've said, oh boy, comfort plus doesn't refer to plus. 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: You stay back in your group analysts. So I'm flying 53 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: on Tuesday now, Look Ford, But the point is we're 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and gonna have turkey. 55 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: Well maybe you think that is a horror or not? 56 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: Guess essay. Opinion piece in the New York Times today, 57 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: What a lame duck president could do for lame turkeys? 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Good start. We've wondered about the presidential partning of the 59 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: turkey for years. Boy, how's Biden gonna pull that off? 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, he writes someone at the National Turkey 61 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: Federation once had an idea, let's send a live turkey 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: to Harry Truman for a presidential holiday feast. They thought, 63 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: we'll promote the turkey. Yeah, but was he stunt We'll 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: send a live turkey to President Truman. Previously, some individual 65 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: turkey producers had sent their products to the president to 66 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: promote them, but the greater resources at the National Turkey 67 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: Federation that the story could be promoted more effectively. The 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: turkey that was sent to President Truman was killed and eaten. 69 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: I did go, Harry, give him hell, Harry, huh make 70 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: America great again? Back when presidents would get a life 71 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: turkey and just say cool and kill it, need it barbaric? 72 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: And then turkeys were subsequently sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 73 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: who also killed an h them. But in nineteen sixty three, 74 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: in one of his last official acts before his assassination, 75 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: all right, god, it would have been days before he 76 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: got his head blown apart. Right o November sixteenth, President 77 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy, when face to face with his live turkey, 78 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: disregarded the sign hung around the bird's neck that read 79 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: good eating, mister President. How different is the country now 80 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: than then? That they would send a live turkey that 81 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: was gonna get killed and eating, and they put signer 82 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: on his neck, you know, happy eating. There were more 83 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: realistic people, Yes, we were. Now you have essays in 84 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: the New York Times decrying the horror that people eat 85 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: turkeys at all. Anyway, John F. Kennedy, and face to 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: face with the live turkey, disregarded the sign hung around 87 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: his neck and said let's keep him going. Kennedy didn't 88 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: say anything about pardoning the turkey. If you excuse me, 89 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: I am gonna go stuff and intent right. He didn't 90 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: say anything about partning the turkey, but the media referred 91 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: to his act as a pardon or reprieve. President George H. W. 92 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: Bush was the first to pretend that a turkey was 93 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: receiving an official part and we've been doing it for 94 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the last forty years where the president comes out and 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: bestows it really is pretty gruesome if you think about it, 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: cause it's I don't mean gruesome from a turkey standpoint, 97 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: but just the idea of a pardon of something being 98 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: put to death. There are people on death throw. There 99 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: is a big one this week where they appeal to 100 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: governors or the president to try not to be executed 101 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: as a human being, and the governor president makes a 102 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: decision whether or not to do that to kind of enjoy. 103 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: They don't get the partner right to kind of joke 104 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: about that activity. I officially pardon you, turkey, not that 105 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: other guy earlier in the week, which they probably didn't 106 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: deserve a pardon. But you're not wrong. But to me, 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: the pardoning the turkey shows weakness. This is why Putin 108 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine, because we're not even tough enough to execute 109 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: our guilty turkeys guilty of delicious I agree. This is 110 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: where the essay in the New York Times turns really stupid. 111 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: We pardon people for crimes they have committed. Modern law 112 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: has long abandoned the view that animals can commit crimes. 113 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: That makes it impossible to take seriously the idea that 114 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: turkeys need to be pardoned no matter what they have done. 115 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: But the annual is it just me? Or are you 116 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: waiting for a punchline too? This can't possibly be serious 117 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: to me. I'm waiting for it, ah. But the annual 118 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: president pardon is doubly absurd because no one has ever 119 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: claimed the turkeys said to the president have done anything wrong, 120 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: not even in the sense that your cat does something 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: wrong when she punishes you for going on vacation by 122 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: using your bed as her litter box. Now, this is 123 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: very dry humor, very very dry. How to avoid dry 124 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: turkey breasts at the table coming up next, stay with us, 125 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: And then it goes into how about these turkey producers 126 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: have received millions of dollars as a subsidy for something 127 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: or other after sending the turkeys to It's just it's 128 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: all convoluted. I guess I'm supposed to be upset about 129 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: this in some way. Oh boy, let me pencil that 130 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: in in my list of things to be worried about. 131 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: Right after I don't even know. And then it gets 132 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: into the good reasons some people choose not to eat turkeys, 133 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: turkeys eaten by Americans today or nothing like wild turkeys 134 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: eaten by the early European settlers, and how turkeys are 135 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: not treated well, and there are other things you could eat. 136 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: Remember our old newsman Marshall used to go to a 137 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: tofur tofu turkey thing that some toe tofurky, that's some 138 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: vegetarian friend of his put together. I don't doubt that 139 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: the turkeys are not treated in the best way. It 140 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. Okay, I've penciled in concern about this 141 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: right below. The laces in my golf shoes get dirty 142 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: and I have to take them out to launder them. Well, 143 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: i'll read you the last paragraph of this serious thing. 144 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: If we insist on sticking with the idea of pardoning 145 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: someone for Thanksgiving, it's the heads of the giant corporations 146 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: profiting from the industrial production of turkeys who are in 147 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: need of a pardon. But to deserve it, they would 148 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: first have to show remorse for what they have done. Okay, well, 149 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: you're fun at a party. How hilarious is that they're 150 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: bothered by the pardoning of the turkey fun at a gathering? 151 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: This piece, it's actually a decent piece about how more 152 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: and more people seem to be a semi sober. They're 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: like drinking more mindfully or less frequently. As the medical 154 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: establishment has said, you know, even one glass of wine. 155 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: It's not good for you. Alcohol is just not good 156 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: for you. And people are being more mindful. And this 157 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: woman is talking about, you know, I've actually enjoyed it 158 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: more and blah blah blah, And I was thinking of 159 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: the person who's just a drag at a party, like, 160 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: if that guy shows up, I'm leaving. Sorry, Grandma, I 161 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: know you've only got a week to live, but I'm 162 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: not hanging out with that idiot. Sorry. Wow, If you're 163 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: an introvert, a little nip or two, that's how I 164 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: get through it. So is the Is it like sweeping 165 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the nation that's being concerned about drinking or is it 166 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: just a no. I think it's absolutely on the increase. 167 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: Young people are drinking less than all the generations before them, 168 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: partly because they're giving themselves psychoist with the not universally. 169 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: But I think attitudes on alcohol are evolving, no doubt. Interesting. Well, 170 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: it is after what a couple decades, certainly a decade 171 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: of being told, oh wow, by if you aren't drinking 172 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: red wine, you're being awful to your children because it's 173 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: gonna make your heart so much healthier than they decided. 174 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: What a couple of years ago, we were wrong about 175 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: all that. Sorry, sorry, we's not gonna not gonna hurt 176 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: you the red wine, but any alcohol is bad. Yeah, 177 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: that was yet another reason why I ignore most studies 178 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: about any sort of hell thing anything. They changed their 179 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: mind so many times in my life how do you 180 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: not roll your eyes at any study about this food 181 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: or diet or drink or whatever based on wait and see, 182 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: wait a long time and see. Speaking of which fruit 183 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: loops are going to be the center of the great 184 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: controversy of next year, A humble fruit loop, No damn 185 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: fruit anywhere near him? By the way, RFK Junior is 186 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: really hammering on processed foods and artificial dies and that 187 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Got some details on that, plus the 188 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: armstrung you getty Court of Justice. We'll swing into action 189 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: and rejudge. Juicy smolet hey Anson. CBS has an interview 190 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: with the first transgender congresswoman. Uh be kind of interested 191 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: to hear what she's talking about. If they get into 192 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: that whole bathroom. Her fluffel that you can't become a 193 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: woman by taking hormones and getting surgeries. That's a medical impossibility. Well, 194 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: she's got long hair and female clothes on. I'm looking 195 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: at her up there. I've not personally looked under her skirt. Again, 196 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: you can do anything you want under the skirt. It 197 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: does not change the sex of the person involved. How 198 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: recently did she transition? Do we know this? 199 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: Uh? 200 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: No, she didn't like run as a dude and is 201 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: now a chick or anything like that? Right, isn't that reason? Well? No, 202 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: if she was having dude, she's not a chick. Now, 203 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: I think you're missing the point. I think I can 204 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: get your point to. Yes, we got more in the way. 205 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: Stay here. 206 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: McDonald's has announced that it will offer half gallon jugs 207 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: if it's McRib sauce for twenty dollars. It's a handy 208 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 4: option for parties, barbecues and of. 209 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: Course dares, no kidding, no kidding. Wait, Wow, that's funny. 210 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: That is a good one. My son and his friends, 211 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: my high schooler and his friends are super into the 212 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: dares of eating and drinking various things. It's a right 213 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: of passing. And my son especially and my son, for 214 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: whatever reason, is dedicated daw never turning down a deer. 215 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: It's just way he's built. I don't know if you 216 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: heard when we had Josh Rogan to the Washington Post 217 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: on what like the day of the election or day 218 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: before the presidential election. Anyway, he declared that the Chinese 219 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: hat of all our cell phone companies and everything was 220 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: a bigger story than the election, which is a heck 221 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: of a thing to say. Mm hmm. It's the biggest 222 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: hack in US history, maybe world history, and nobody talks 223 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: about it. And nobody talks about it nobody. I haven't 224 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: heard one person in my real life bring this up right. 225 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: I haven't heard it on I don't even think I've 226 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: even heard about it on any other show. Wow, is 227 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: that something? Well? The New York Time are so under 228 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: attack currently by the Chinese Communist Party, and there's an 229 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: article about it in The New York Times today, Buried 230 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: beneath you know, a whole bunch of Trump stories about 231 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: things and personalities whatever that everybody's obsessed with and cries 232 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: for Turkey justice. As discussed in the previous segment, this 233 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: is a David Sanger article. He pays attention to the 234 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: important stuff on the New York Times. Thank god somebody does. 235 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: But yesterday Senator Mark Warner, who is the Democratic chairman 236 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: of the Intelligence Committee, said this is significantly worse than 237 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: we even thought. So it's significantly worse than it was 238 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: back when Josh Rogan told us it's a bigger story 239 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: than the election. Wow, is what he said yesterday. The 240 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: barn door is still wide open for China to do 241 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: whatever they want inside of all of our telecommunications, including 242 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: specifically listening to any phone call or reading any text 243 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: that they want to. It's been going on for at 244 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: least a year, we don't know how long. And it's 245 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: still going on today. Isn't that amazing? It's mind boggling, 246 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, we are walking the streets of 247 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: Rome saying, oh, look, barbarians. Anyway, shall we go to 248 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: the vomitorium? 249 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 5: Eh? 250 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: And we're just utterly unaware that we are being invaded 251 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: and they are fighting us. We're just not fighting them 252 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: because we're too content. And China had access to absolutely 253 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: listening to the phone calls or reading the texts of 254 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: any American who's got you know, any of the big 255 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: cell phone companies, which is practically every adult, including President 256 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President elect JD. Vance, and 257 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: anybody else you can think of. So it's impossible that 258 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: they didn't gain important intelligence from listening to Donald Trump's 259 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: private phone calls throughout the entire election. Are you kidding me? Wow? Wow? 260 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: And it turns out they exploited aging equipment and seams 261 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: in the networks connecting disparate systems. I don't know anything 262 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: about that since the hack was exposed. The Chinese intruders 263 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: have seemingly disappeared, suspending their intrusion, so that their activity 264 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: is harder to figure out. But they do not conclude 265 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: that they have been ousted for the telecommunication system. They 266 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: still have the ability to do it. They've just like 267 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: backed off, They've scurried off, so it's harder to figure 268 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: out how they're in there, how to get them out. 269 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: But it looks like they China could jump back in 270 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: any time they want to and listen to your phone 271 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: calls or read your texts. Wow, isn't that InCrest Yeah, 272 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: yeah it is. I mean they mean and if you 273 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: let your mind run wild for a couple of minutes. 274 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: As to the sort of thing they're listening to, they're 275 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: absolutely given their interest in taking out our infrastructure when 276 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: and if the pooh hits the fan. They are absolutely 277 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: listening to technical discussions between the people who run the 278 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: power crop. Oh, absolutely no doubt about that. Or as 279 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: basic as they've heard Trump's private phone conversations where Trump 280 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: says we ain't gonna defend Taiwan, There's no way the 281 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: American people would put up with that. It's quite possible 282 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: they heard that on a phone call him discussing it. Anyway, 283 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: they have intel like nobody's ever had intel. They know 284 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: exactly who Matt Gates has been boinking and what their 285 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: age is for instance. Probably how do we not pay 286 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: more attention to this? I guess just because we're all 287 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: wealthy by modeling on world standards, fat and comfortable. Speaking 288 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: for myself, the Armstrong and getting caught of justice will 289 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: retry Juicy Smoley next Armstrong and Getty. 290 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 6: So the court's decision, it's important to remember, had nothing 291 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 6: to do with Smolette's actual guilt or innocence, but had 292 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 6: everything to do with Smolette's constitutional rights being violated when, 293 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 6: in the court's opinion, he was prosecuted a second time 294 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 6: after a valid plea agreement. It was almost six years 295 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 6: ago when Smolette called police claiming he was a victim 296 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 6: of a racist and homophobic attack. 297 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: So is it just the double jeopardy thing we learn 298 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: about in grade school? Or yeah, yeah, single plea agreement? 299 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: Then they changed their mind. Essentially, there's no no judgment 300 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: whatsoever on the guilt or innocence, the verdict itself, just 301 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: the trial taking place at all. So he's out. This 302 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette, who as an actor, hired a couple of 303 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: guys to pretend to attack him. And I'd either forgotten 304 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: or didn't know that was all part of his contract 305 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: and go he thought he was gonna get more money. 306 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: They offered him less money for that TV show he 307 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: was on, and he thought he would get more money 308 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: if he had been the victim of a crime. That's 309 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: it makes an extra dumb. So your your your plan 310 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: was dumb, and then you're gonna that's how your nati 311 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: evil dumb and evil true because it does add to 312 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: the idea of a race war or that sort of thing, 313 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: racial tension in the United States, right, And he was 314 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: more than willing to pitch racial hatred to make himself 315 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: more money and and to portray white people in the 316 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: way he did. And and he just continued to elevate 317 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: the idea of victimhood is the greatest status in American life. 318 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: It's just awful, right, So, yeah, it's bad for racial 319 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: relations and also portraying once again that Trump supporters are 320 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: obviously racists, violent racists, as we all know. So after 321 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: he was attacked and called the police and a lot 322 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: of people were super skeptical, right, off the bat, but 323 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: not your mainstream media, and not Kamala Harris, not a 324 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: lot of celebrities who believed his story immediately. Here's him 325 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: on I think Good Morning America, explaining a little bit 326 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: about the attack in the aftermath. Why did you hesitate 327 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: to want to call the police? 328 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 7: You know, there's a level of pride there. We live 329 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 7: in a society where as a gay man, you were 330 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 7: considered somehow to be weak and I'm not weak. I'm 331 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 7: not weak. It feels like if I had said it 332 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 7: was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I 333 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 7: feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot 334 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 7: much more, a lot more. And that says a lot 335 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 7: about the place that we are in our country right now. 336 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Man, you are a freaking scumbag. Yes to go on 337 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: television and talk about the state this country is in 338 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: because of the way I was attacked and oh my god, 339 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: because I'm gay. At anybody who doubts your ridiculous, laughable story, 340 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: it's just because they're such racists that they would believe 341 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: me if I'd set a Mexican or a Muslim attack me. 342 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: You're a scum bag. I hate And when I'd forgotten it. 343 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: He also cast himself as a victim because he's gay, right, 344 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: He couldn't come forward because he knows how gay men 345 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: are treated in the United States. God, you are the 346 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: worst kind of person. The only thing that's comforting since 347 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: he got out is that his careers over. I think 348 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: he's been out for a while, hasn't he. I mean, 349 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: he didn't get sentenced too much time. But his career's over. 350 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Still he should be in He should be 351 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: in some sort of jail. That is horrible. It's absolutely horrible. 352 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: And you know, even when people found out the truth, 353 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: that leaves the you know, there's the echo in people's 354 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: brains of confirmation for a certain crowd of the whole 355 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: Trump voter racial relations thing, even though it wasn't true. Anyway, 356 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: here's another throwback. After we all found out what was happening, 357 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: he hired these bodybuilders to attack him and yell, you know, 358 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: this is Trump country, and they threw bleach on him 359 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: and everything like that. Here's them on the very street 360 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: corner where they attacked him, explaining the attack. 361 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 5: This is where we waited for Jesse to come. So 362 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 5: I saw him out the corner of my eye and 363 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 5: I was. 364 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: Like, Okay, that's him, let's go. 365 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 5: He turned around, looked at us, and that's when we 366 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 5: started yelling the famous slurs he wanted us to yell. 367 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: I threw the first punchadow. 368 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 5: I held the blow because I didn't want to hurt him, 369 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 5: of course, and then. 370 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: I threw him to the ground. It to look like 371 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: he fought back. 372 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 5: That was very important for him. 373 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: Wow, you looked though you are an idiot. You're an 374 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: absolute idiot. I held back because I didn't hurt him. 375 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: If you've never seen these guys, they're super jacked, bodybuilder dudes. Anyways, 376 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: they'd knock you in the next week. Oh my, crush 377 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: your face he wanted to look like. And then I 378 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: remember the throwing the bleach on him. I think this 379 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: is from now them explaining what they think of the 380 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: whole deal. And the bleach is some sort of implied 381 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: what we're going to make you white? Or just bleach? 382 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Is that just a caustic chemical? I guess I don't know. 383 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: I remember back in my racist days, well, I would 384 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: walk the streets of Chicago all the time a gallon 385 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: of bleach in my left hand. And you're missing right, 386 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: and my maga hat, just waiting and this was the seventies, 387 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: just waiting for some port unfortunate, wealthy black gay man 388 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: from the TV to come walking down the street, because 389 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: by god, if one did, we were ready for them. 390 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Not on my watch, you would say, she man. So 391 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: here's the Bodybuilders explaining more of the plot. I guess he. 392 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 3: Made it seem like this is what Hollywood does. He 393 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 3: mentioned Kim Kardashian during that time, she had a incident 394 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: where she got robbed and kidnapped in France, and he 395 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 3: said that was made up, that was fake. So that's 396 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: what I was thinking, like, Oh, this is what Hollywood does. 397 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 3: My brother and our professional actors, and we thought, oh, 398 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 3: this is our introduction into Hollywood. 399 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 8: And actually we go further in our book that we 400 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 8: just released Bigger Than Jesse. The reason why Jesse might 401 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 8: have actually performed this, hopes and who. 402 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: That's a very important question that leads us to the 403 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 3: why who is it? 404 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: Oh it's funny. I'm reading one hundred Years of Solitude. 405 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: I was hoping to finish it during the Thanksgiving break, 406 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: but I better put that aside and read the new 407 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: book from these Bodybuilders, Bigger than Jesse Yeth Michael, Honey, 408 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: if you're listening, I want this book. Oh yeah, I 409 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: want it in hardcover for future generations. You know what 410 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: I love about one hundred bucks? They'd come read it 411 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: to you your home. Oh god, no kidding, one hundred 412 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: between them. You know what I love about those two 413 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: guys is though they were involved in that ridiculous escapade, 414 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: they seem really self aware. Oh yeah, yeah, because they're giggling. Yeah, 415 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: we thought this was our you know, our inroad. In fact, 416 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: why were we dumb? They have a book? Oh my god, 417 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: that's hilarious. Ah how many? I mean? I suppose you know, 418 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: we can't condemn Juicy for being a rotten human as 419 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: we were and not include these guys in some way. 420 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: But I don't know. For some reason, I just I 421 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: feel like that they're not a premeditated perpetrator of evil dishonesty. 422 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: They're more like, you'll give us five hundred bucks to 423 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: do what? And they thought not a famous guy? Whatever? 424 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: Money's money. I don't know. I just I can't judge 425 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: these guys in the same way. You want me to 426 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: punch you in the head and poor believe you on 427 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: you do you want me to say what this is 428 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: Magga Country in Chicago.

He still owes us five hundred dollars. 432 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 8: Oh wow, but I. 433 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Don't think we're ever going to see that. 434 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: It wasn't. 435 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it wasn't about the money. It was not 436 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 3: about the money at all. It was more so us 437 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: helping out a friend. 438 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: See he didn't even pay him. God, what what a 439 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: piece of work. Wow, helping out a friend Jack that 440 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: can know what they say? A friend with bleach is 441 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: a friend in reach. That Kim Kardashian thing, I'd forgotten 442 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: about that, but that turned out to be real, didn't 443 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: it horrifying? She actually got kidnapped because she had all 444 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: those She had so much jewelry with her and everything. Yeah, 445 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: and Jesse believed that was phony. It was just a 446 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: publicity thing. I suppose it could have been. Kim Kardashian's 447 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: pretty good at that. I have to google that if 448 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: I remember right. That was an actual thing. But uh, 449 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: oh wow, you go ahead. I'll be looking into tariff 450 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: policy and their implications. I'll be reading bigger than Jesse. 451 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: Maybe I can get it an audiobook. Well, that's hell 452 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: of an enjoyable read. That'd be a fun travel read. Honestly, 453 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how many pages is it? Four? 454 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: I think phil pages would cover it. I was just 455 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: gonna say, please, don't try to stretch into like three 456 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: hundred page just know what you are, No, stay in 457 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: your lane, unpronounceable brothers. And then second grade I got 458 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: a new pencil sharpener. I don't know what they would 459 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: fill it in with, but yeah, oh please don't do 460 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: the background st right, that's what you do to fill 461 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: in I've read some of those ridiculous books like that 462 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: just for the show, like we're gonna have guests on, 463 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: they fill in with all kinds of meaningless background crap. 464 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: And then I was in Little League. I enjoyed the games, 465 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: but even more so the friendships. Okay, all right, although 466 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: I tell you what these guys I mean. They are 467 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: an interesting story about people coming to the United States 468 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: and making a life. Now, granted, this was a bit 469 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: of an hot cul de sac they went down, but 470 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: you know they're immigrants from Nigeria, right, and they're they're 471 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: bodybuilders and fitness trainers, and obviously they speak beautiful English, 472 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: although there's a lot of English book in Nigeria, come 473 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: to think of it. But I don't know. I always 474 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: enjoy the immigrant stories. And then you know it's not 475 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: just in. Then we open the dry cleaners and business 476 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: has been pretty good now and the juicy smole this 477 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: ridiculous plot. Maybe maybe you could include some foreshadowing. I 478 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: was in the Little League and I knocked this kid 479 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: down and said, you're in Clinton country, and I kicked 480 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: him in the testicles, and I knew that somehow in 481 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: the future. Well, okay, let's put that in the rough 482 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: draft and we can talk about it. I feel like 483 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: we ought to tell you the whole Pete Hegseeth story, 484 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: his version of it, and that's gonna be big. Yeah, 485 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: it is. Now that Matt Gates is gone. If the 486 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: the attention has gone to Hexath potential Secretary of Defense, 487 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: not a good night for him and that woman. Uh either, 488 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: either version of the story is is not not the 489 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: best look if you haven't heard it. So we'll get 490 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: to that on the way and a bunch of other stuff. 491 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 4: Has it in By hosted the Boston Celtics today at 492 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 4: the White House, Biden said it reminded him of his 493 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 4: younger days when he met with the actual Celtics. I 494 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 4: had a lot of riddles. I was trying to trick you. 495 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I get that joke. I don't get 496 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: the reference like Celtics. Is it Celtics, it's a it's 497 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 4: a culture, not a costume. 498 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: By the way, it was going to be more of 499 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: a Where's John Halachek sort of thing? But yeah, a 500 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: mystifying joke, too sophisticated for us. Obviously, speaking of Ireland, 501 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: one of a couple of stories about fascinating the fascinating foreigners. 502 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: Ireland is rolling in dough right now. As a country. 503 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: They can't they can't spend all the money they have 504 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: in their budget. We'll explain why. Plus I, Joe Getty, 505 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: cold warrior, anti communist crusader, am here to tell you 506 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Shjin Ping is one hundred percent right about one to man. 507 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: Is he got it right? Stay with us for next hour. 508 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: If you don't get Next Hour, grab it via podcast 509 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand, or better get subscribed or 510 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: follow depending on the terminology your favorite download uth on 511 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: the source uses. In hour three, we'll also run through 512 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: the scandal that might derail Pete Heggzeth becoming Secretary Defense. 513 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if it will or not, but it's 514 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: certainly gonna be a big topic of conversation, and you 515 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: should know what the facts are around that. I would 516 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: say so, yeah, absolutely, because you cannot trust the mainstream 517 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: media as usual. So a couple of life hacks, if 518 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: you will. This first one is self evident to Jack 519 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: just mentioning how cynically is about various medical announcements on this, 520 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: that or the other. But this one is just undeniable. 521 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: The best return on any investment since bitcoin when it 522 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: was ten dollars is just walking a half hour a day, 523 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: an hour if you can manage it, they say, he 524 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: could easily yield up to six hours of six years 525 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: rather of life six hours. I'm gonna walk in to 526 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: get an extra six hours, so I'll die at a 527 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: five pm instead eleven the morning. Do you think you 528 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: can hold on to dinner? Honey? Yeah, I think so. 529 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: All that walk and has done me a lot of good. 530 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: If every American over the age of forty was as 531 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: physically active as the most active quarter of the population, again, 532 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: that's not that active, they could expect to live an 533 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: extra five years to eleven years depending, but just take 534 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: a walk. My mom and dad and this this instilled 535 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: it in me. My mom and dad have been committed 536 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: to walking since jeez, I don't know, early eighties. They 537 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: did that every night after dinner, no matter the weather, 538 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: they went to for a long, long walk, and it 539 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: was just something they would not skip. And I think 540 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons they're both in significantly better 541 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: shape than Joe Biden. Yeah, and again this is six 542 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: six hours or six days. Rather, there's a misprint in 543 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: this article and was stuck in my head. But years 544 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: of life is amazing and uh and those who walk 545 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: even more have even better uh you know, reards. But anyway, 546 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's I'm revided the young, the young and 547 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the strong. They like to mock the old and weak, 548 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: and that's why we must be clever and cheat them 549 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: out of their money or get our vengeance however we can. 550 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: But the making fun of mall walkers very very right 551 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: there at one point. Now it's it's people are smart 552 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: and keeping their bodies active and getting more out of life. 553 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: So good for y'all. You are almost every night yeah, 554 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,959 Speaker 1: me too. I listen to news while I'm doing it 555 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. Oh yeah, I try to get exercise, break 556 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: a sweat every single day. I will tell you this. 557 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: My old dog, my old cancery dog, packsy uh, he's 558 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: getting slower and slower. So Judy and I have conceded 559 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: walking the dog is kind of a trudge for us. 560 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: It's a shuffle for us, so that no longer counts 561 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: as exercise. But anyway, it's the eCos circle of life. 562 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: Do you do You're exercising an indoor, on a machine 563 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: or outdoor, all of the above. I just machines don't 564 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: do it for me. I'd rather walk in the rain 565 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: in the cold for half an hour than do on 566 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: a machine. I just don't. I don't know whatever. I 567 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: just won't get on a machine. I've gotten in grooves 568 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: where I watch news on the elliptical or whatever. I 569 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: got my earbuds. It makes sense. I kill a couple 570 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: of birds with one stone because I hate birds. I 571 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: get murder enough birds, and I love rocks, so I 572 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: hate to waste them on multiple birds. But yeah, I'd 573 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: much rather walk outside than on a treadmill anyway. So 574 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: that was a physical hack This is an emotional psychological hack. 575 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: This is a study from the University of Illinois where 576 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: I attained my degree to the surprise of my parents 577 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: and mentors. One of the most positive beneficial things you 578 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: can say in any family setting is any expression of 579 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: appreciation for the good things we do for each other 580 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: is incredibly valuable. And where it is lacking, you've got 581 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: a serious problem, interesting relationship. And you know, you could 582 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: get into the statistics, but it's because it to include 583 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: like a card or a fruit bouquet, or a long, 584 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: flowery speech, or just a simple thank you. Just wow, 585 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: this meal is delicious. Thanks for taking the time. That's 586 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: a good That's it. That's a good example right there. Yeah, 587 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: and and and again take a look at yourself and 588 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: your relationships. And again, if that ain't happening, you got 589 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: more going on than maybe just a lack of manners. 590 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: Good because it's more than manners. So anyway, think about 591 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: this as we give thanks for you know, various stuff 592 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: what we do for each other. Anyway, there you go. 593 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: We tease a whole bunch of good stuff that we 594 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: will have in hours three and four.
