WEBVTT - I'm Not Hanging Out With That Idiot 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arms Strong and Joe, Katty arm 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:25.880 Strong and Jettie and he arms Strong and Yetty. It's 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.240 essentially a buzzer that they're employing. 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.720 This is especially important at American Airlines because it's the 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.080 biggest airline in the US. They have nine different boarding groups, 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.560 which makes it sort of especially confusing for folks. The 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.760 problem is people who are jumping the line. It's known 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.720 as date lice. That is the lies, and that is 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.040 the term that the airline uses in some cases. It's 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.879 primarily something that bloggers have come up with, people who 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:49.800 hang around the front of the human eye. It is 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:51.800 kind of yes, I don't want to be allows either. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.800 But the big thing here is that if you scan 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.600 your boarding pass that American is trying this new technology on, 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.280 it'll sound an alarm and make it so that you 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:01.560 go to the back of the line and they can 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:02.200 come back in when. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.760 Your group is called okay. So this is you're already 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.880 through security, you're you're up there at your plane and 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.880 they say it's time to board, but you're group three, 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.680 and you try to get up there with group one, 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.759 and they call you gate lice, and Jake Tapper ridiculously says, 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.920 sort of dehumanizing whatever, Jake who worries about crap like that, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.480 Just whatever, Yeah, okay, I just call you jerks or 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.800 a holes. It's the same thing. Get in when your 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.520 group is. If you want a better group, buy your 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.039 tickets earlier or pay more or whatever. The way it 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:38.119 works on gate licets, I'm referred to them as airport apes. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:44.280 Who cares? It's it's bored annoyed employees who deal with 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.880 the public all day long. Came up with a semi 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.600 amusing nickname to help, you know, cut into the drudgery 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.480 of their day a little bit. Jake, It'll be okay, right, 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.440 you know, it's the people. There's you know, the the 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.680 amount of jyvness in media has changed a little bit. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.960 You know, back in the day you were utterly dignified 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.399 and besuited and and and you know, obviously very clean 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.440 language and stuff like that and like that. But it's besuited. 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.280 It's fine. But like a Jake Tapper, what is it 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.079 in him that makes him think, well, because of the 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.840 nature of my job and the people looking in the 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.839 dignity of the profession. I need to say, well, that's 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:29.040 somewhat just do you humanizing? Who's worried about that? Seriously? Anyway, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.120 back to the lousy, lousy gait, who's worried about this 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.840 is another question? With Thanksgiving coming up, That's why we're 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.600 talking about all the travel. Hey, let me let me 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.560 just make a say a word in support of the 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:47.200 American airlines. We who are in group two don't wish 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.880 to rub elbows with you Group three paupers, all right, 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:58.120 know your place Group three, four and five? All right En, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.320 I've said, oh boy, comfort plus doesn't refer to plus. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:07.919 You stay back in your group analysts. So I'm flying 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.839 on Tuesday now, Look Ford, But the point is we're 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.960 going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and gonna have turkey. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.640 Well maybe you think that is a horror or not? 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.360 Guess essay. Opinion piece in the New York Times today, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.800 What a lame duck president could do for lame turkeys? 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.480 Good start. We've wondered about the presidential partning of the 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.400 turkey for years. Boy, how's Biden gonna pull that off? 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.040 All right? Anyway, he writes someone at the National Turkey 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.480 Federation once had an idea, let's send a live turkey 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.680 to Harry Truman for a presidential holiday feast. They thought, 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.640 we'll promote the turkey. Yeah, but was he stunt We'll 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.640 send a live turkey to President Truman. Previously, some individual 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.080 turkey producers had sent their products to the president to 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.320 promote them, but the greater resources at the National Turkey 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.680 Federation that the story could be promoted more effectively. The 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.960 turkey that was sent to President Truman was killed and eaten. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.960 I did go, Harry, give him hell, Harry, huh make 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.480 America great again? Back when presidents would get a life 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.840 turkey and just say cool and kill it, need it barbaric? 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.680 And then turkeys were subsequently sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.040 who also killed an h them. But in nineteen sixty three, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.479 in one of his last official acts before his assassination, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.400 all right, god, it would have been days before he 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.640 got his head blown apart. Right o November sixteenth, President 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.039 John F. Kennedy, when face to face with his live turkey, 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.279 disregarded the sign hung around the bird's neck that read 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:51.520 good eating, mister President. How different is the country now 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.279 than then? That they would send a live turkey that 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.240 was gonna get killed and eating, and they put signer 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.640 on his neck, you know, happy eating. There were more 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.960 realistic people, Yes, we were. Now you have essays in 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.320 the New York Times decrying the horror that people eat 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.640 turkeys at all. Anyway, John F. Kennedy, and face to 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.200 face with the live turkey, disregarded the sign hung around 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.240 his neck and said let's keep him going. Kennedy didn't 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.039 say anything about pardoning the turkey. If you excuse me, 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:27.880 I am gonna go stuff and intent right. He didn't 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.400 say anything about partning the turkey, but the media referred 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.839 to his act as a pardon or reprieve. President George H. W. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.320 Bush was the first to pretend that a turkey was 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:42.920 receiving an official part and we've been doing it for 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.320 the last forty years where the president comes out and 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.320 bestows it really is pretty gruesome if you think about it, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.600 cause it's I don't mean gruesome from a turkey standpoint, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.000 but just the idea of a pardon of something being 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.960 put to death. There are people on death throw. There 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.320 is a big one this week where they appeal to 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.919 governors or the president to try not to be executed 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.599 as a human being, and the governor president makes a 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.040 decision whether or not to do that to kind of enjoy. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.960 They don't get the partner right to kind of joke 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.240 about that activity. I officially pardon you, turkey, not that 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.400 other guy earlier in the week, which they probably didn't 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.839 deserve a pardon. But you're not wrong. But to me, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.360 the pardoning the turkey shows weakness. This is why Putin 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.480 invaded Ukraine, because we're not even tough enough to execute 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.800 our guilty turkeys guilty of delicious I agree. This is 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.080 where the essay in the New York Times turns really stupid. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.440 We pardon people for crimes they have committed. Modern law 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.400 has long abandoned the view that animals can commit crimes. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.240 That makes it impossible to take seriously the idea that 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.040 turkeys need to be pardoned no matter what they have done. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.000 But the annual is it just me? Or are you 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.240 waiting for a punchline too? This can't possibly be serious 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.479 to me. I'm waiting for it, ah. But the annual 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.400 president pardon is doubly absurd because no one has ever 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.119 claimed the turkeys said to the president have done anything wrong, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.480 not even in the sense that your cat does something 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.080 wrong when she punishes you for going on vacation by 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.240 using your bed as her litter box. Now, this is 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.960 very dry humor, very very dry. How to avoid dry 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.080 turkey breasts at the table coming up next, stay with us, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.320 And then it goes into how about these turkey producers 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.200 have received millions of dollars as a subsidy for something 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.960 or other after sending the turkeys to It's just it's 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.240 all convoluted. I guess I'm supposed to be upset about 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.680 this in some way. Oh boy, let me pencil that 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.160 in in my list of things to be worried about. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.520 Right after I don't even know. And then it gets 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.160 into the good reasons some people choose not to eat turkeys, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.120 turkeys eaten by Americans today or nothing like wild turkeys 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.280 eaten by the early European settlers, and how turkeys are 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.880 not treated well, and there are other things you could eat. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.480 Remember our old newsman Marshall used to go to a 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.920 tofur tofu turkey thing that some toe tofurky, that's some 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:10.000 vegetarian friend of his put together. I don't doubt that 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.400 the turkeys are not treated in the best way. It 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:20.560 doesn't surprise me. Okay, I've penciled in concern about this 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.440 right below. The laces in my golf shoes get dirty 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.080 and I have to take them out to launder them. Well, 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.880 i'll read you the last paragraph of this serious thing. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.920 If we insist on sticking with the idea of pardoning 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.080 someone for Thanksgiving, it's the heads of the giant corporations 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.719 profiting from the industrial production of turkeys who are in 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.800 need of a pardon. But to deserve it, they would 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.079 first have to show remorse for what they have done. Okay, well, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:52.000 you're fun at a party. How hilarious is that they're 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:59.559 bothered by the pardoning of the turkey fun at a gathering? 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.520 This piece, it's actually a decent piece about how more 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.680 and more people seem to be a semi sober. They're 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.360 like drinking more mindfully or less frequently. As the medical 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.319 establishment has said, you know, even one glass of wine. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.520 It's not good for you. Alcohol is just not good 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.200 for you. And people are being more mindful. And this 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.679 woman is talking about, you know, I've actually enjoyed it 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.760 more and blah blah blah, And I was thinking of 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.120 the person who's just a drag at a party, like, 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.760 if that guy shows up, I'm leaving. Sorry, Grandma, I 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.640 know you've only got a week to live, but I'm 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.760 not hanging out with that idiot. Sorry. Wow, If you're 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:42.680 an introvert, a little nip or two, that's how I 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.040 get through it. So is the Is it like sweeping 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.520 the nation that's being concerned about drinking or is it 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.920 just a no. I think it's absolutely on the increase. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.200 Young people are drinking less than all the generations before them, 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.800 partly because they're giving themselves psychoist with the not universally. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.440 But I think attitudes on alcohol are evolving, no doubt. Interesting. Well, 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:11.760 it is after what a couple decades, certainly a decade 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.160 of being told, oh wow, by if you aren't drinking 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.200 red wine, you're being awful to your children because it's 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.840 gonna make your heart so much healthier than they decided. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.720 What a couple of years ago, we were wrong about 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.120 all that. Sorry, sorry, we's not gonna not gonna hurt 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.680 you the red wine, but any alcohol is bad. Yeah, 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:32.000 that was yet another reason why I ignore most studies 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.760 about any sort of hell thing anything. They changed their 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.000 mind so many times in my life how do you 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.160 not roll your eyes at any study about this food 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:47.040 or diet or drink or whatever based on wait and see, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.400 wait a long time and see. Speaking of which fruit 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.040 loops are going to be the center of the great 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.920 controversy of next year, A humble fruit loop, No damn 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.160 fruit anywhere near him? By the way, RFK Junior is 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.480 really hammering on processed foods and artificial dies and that 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.559 sort of thing. Got some details on that, plus the 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.160 armstrung you getty Court of Justice. We'll swing into action 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:14.760 and rejudge. Juicy smolet hey Anson. CBS has an interview 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:20.959 with the first transgender congresswoman. Uh be kind of interested 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.079 to hear what she's talking about. If they get into 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.679 that whole bathroom. Her fluffel that you can't become a 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:32.240 woman by taking hormones and getting surgeries. That's a medical impossibility. Well, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.240 she's got long hair and female clothes on. I'm looking 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:41.760 at her up there. I've not personally looked under her skirt. Again, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.200 you can do anything you want under the skirt. It 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.920 does not change the sex of the person involved. How 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.559 recently did she transition? Do we know this? 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:53.040 Uh? 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.400 No, she didn't like run as a dude and is 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.360 now a chick or anything like that? Right, isn't that reason? Well? No, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.360 if she was having dude, she's not a chick. Now, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.760 I think you're missing the point. I think I can 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.200 get your point to. Yes, we got more in the way. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:06.679 Stay here. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.640 McDonald's has announced that it will offer half gallon jugs 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.000 if it's McRib sauce for twenty dollars. It's a handy 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.559 option for parties, barbecues and of. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:26.720 Course dares, no kidding, no kidding. Wait, Wow, that's funny. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.600 That is a good one. My son and his friends, 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.640 my high schooler and his friends are super into the 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:37.200 dares of eating and drinking various things. It's a right 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.800 of passing. And my son especially and my son, for 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.319 whatever reason, is dedicated daw never turning down a deer. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.320 It's just way he's built. I don't know if you 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.240 heard when we had Josh Rogan to the Washington Post 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.040 on what like the day of the election or day 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:59.640 before the presidential election. Anyway, he declared that the Chinese 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.199 hat of all our cell phone companies and everything was 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.280 a bigger story than the election, which is a heck 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.320 of a thing to say. Mm hmm. It's the biggest 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.440 hack in US history, maybe world history, and nobody talks 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.120 about it. And nobody talks about it nobody. I haven't 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.400 heard one person in my real life bring this up right. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.200 I haven't heard it on I don't even think I've 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.559 even heard about it on any other show. Wow, is 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.400 that something? Well? The New York Time are so under 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:34.440 attack currently by the Chinese Communist Party, and there's an 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.560 article about it in The New York Times today, Buried 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.760 beneath you know, a whole bunch of Trump stories about 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.800 things and personalities whatever that everybody's obsessed with and cries 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.559 for Turkey justice. As discussed in the previous segment, this 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.959 is a David Sanger article. He pays attention to the 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.400 important stuff on the New York Times. Thank god somebody does. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:58.840 But yesterday Senator Mark Warner, who is the Democratic chairman 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:04.440 of the Intelligence Committee, said this is significantly worse than 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.160 we even thought. So it's significantly worse than it was 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.600 back when Josh Rogan told us it's a bigger story 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.480 than the election. Wow, is what he said yesterday. The 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:19.560 barn door is still wide open for China to do 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.400 whatever they want inside of all of our telecommunications, including 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.600 specifically listening to any phone call or reading any text 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.720 that they want to. It's been going on for at 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.720 least a year, we don't know how long. And it's 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.200 still going on today. Isn't that amazing? It's mind boggling, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.600 it is. I mean, we are walking the streets of 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.480 Rome saying, oh, look, barbarians. Anyway, shall we go to 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.640 the vomitorium? 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:47.640 Eh? 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.280 And we're just utterly unaware that we are being invaded 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.440 and they are fighting us. We're just not fighting them 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.240 because we're too content. And China had access to absolutely 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.680 listening to the phone calls or reading the texts of 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.080 any American who's got you know, any of the big 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.520 cell phone companies, which is practically every adult, including President 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.880 elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President elect JD. Vance, and 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:15.120 anybody else you can think of. So it's impossible that 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:20.040 they didn't gain important intelligence from listening to Donald Trump's 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:27.120 private phone calls throughout the entire election. Are you kidding me? Wow? Wow? 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.120 And it turns out they exploited aging equipment and seams 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.840 in the networks connecting disparate systems. I don't know anything 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.400 about that since the hack was exposed. The Chinese intruders 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.680 have seemingly disappeared, suspending their intrusion, so that their activity 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:48.760 is harder to figure out. But they do not conclude 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.800 that they have been ousted for the telecommunication system. They 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.880 still have the ability to do it. They've just like 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.920 backed off, They've scurried off, so it's harder to figure 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.440 out how they're in there, how to get them out. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.880 But it looks like they China could jump back in 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.240 any time they want to and listen to your phone 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:10.480 calls or read your texts. Wow, isn't that InCrest Yeah, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.200 yeah it is. I mean they mean and if you 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.080 let your mind run wild for a couple of minutes. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.040 As to the sort of thing they're listening to, they're 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.440 absolutely given their interest in taking out our infrastructure when 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.040 and if the pooh hits the fan. They are absolutely 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.360 listening to technical discussions between the people who run the 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.320 power crop. Oh, absolutely no doubt about that. Or as 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:37.400 basic as they've heard Trump's private phone conversations where Trump 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.200 says we ain't gonna defend Taiwan, There's no way the 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.480 American people would put up with that. It's quite possible 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.200 they heard that on a phone call him discussing it. Anyway, 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.080 they have intel like nobody's ever had intel. They know 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.800 exactly who Matt Gates has been boinking and what their 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:59.840 age is for instance. Probably how do we not pay 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.200 more attention to this? I guess just because we're all 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.320 wealthy by modeling on world standards, fat and comfortable. Speaking 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.240 for myself, the Armstrong and getting caught of justice will 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.280 retry Juicy Smoley next Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.320 So the court's decision, it's important to remember, had nothing 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.399 to do with Smolette's actual guilt or innocence, but had 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.960 everything to do with Smolette's constitutional rights being violated when, 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.960 in the court's opinion, he was prosecuted a second time 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.640 after a valid plea agreement. It was almost six years 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.800 ago when Smolette called police claiming he was a victim 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.840 of a racist and homophobic attack. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.760 So is it just the double jeopardy thing we learn 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:44.600 about in grade school? Or yeah, yeah, single plea agreement? 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.679 Then they changed their mind. Essentially, there's no no judgment 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.439 whatsoever on the guilt or innocence, the verdict itself, just 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.800 the trial taking place at all. So he's out. This 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:00.560 Jesse Smolette, who as an actor, hired a couple of 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:06.320 guys to pretend to attack him. And I'd either forgotten 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.680 or didn't know that was all part of his contract 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.280 and go he thought he was gonna get more money. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.399 They offered him less money for that TV show he 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.720 was on, and he thought he would get more money 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.160 if he had been the victim of a crime. That's 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.160 it makes an extra dumb. So your your your plan 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.920 was dumb, and then you're gonna that's how your nati 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:31.040 evil dumb and evil true because it does add to 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.480 the idea of a race war or that sort of thing, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.399 racial tension in the United States, right, And he was 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:41.680 more than willing to pitch racial hatred to make himself 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.159 more money and and to portray white people in the 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.320 way he did. And and he just continued to elevate 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:52.000 the idea of victimhood is the greatest status in American life. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.240 It's just awful, right, So, yeah, it's bad for racial 0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:01.440 relations and also portraying once again that Trump supporters are 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:07.160 obviously racists, violent racists, as we all know. So after 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.880 he was attacked and called the police and a lot 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.840 of people were super skeptical, right, off the bat, but 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.760 not your mainstream media, and not Kamala Harris, not a 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.320 lot of celebrities who believed his story immediately. Here's him 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.040 on I think Good Morning America, explaining a little bit 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.640 about the attack in the aftermath. Why did you hesitate 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.199 to want to call the police? 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.439 You know, there's a level of pride there. We live 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:36.560 in a society where as a gay man, you were 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:41.080 considered somehow to be weak and I'm not weak. I'm 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:47.359 not weak. It feels like if I had said it 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:52.679 was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.320 feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.840 much more, a lot more. And that says a lot 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.440 about the place that we are in our country right now. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.720 Man, you are a freaking scumbag. Yes to go on 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:12.560 television and talk about the state this country is in 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.200 because of the way I was attacked and oh my god, 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.960 because I'm gay. At anybody who doubts your ridiculous, laughable story, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.320 it's just because they're such racists that they would believe 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.760 me if I'd set a Mexican or a Muslim attack me. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.199 You're a scum bag. I hate And when I'd forgotten it. 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.520 He also cast himself as a victim because he's gay, right, 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.440 He couldn't come forward because he knows how gay men 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.600 are treated in the United States. God, you are the 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.920 worst kind of person. The only thing that's comforting since 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.640 he got out is that his careers over. I think 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.800 he's been out for a while, hasn't he. I mean, 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.280 he didn't get sentenced too much time. But his career's over. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.240 Oh yeah. Still he should be in He should be 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:02.560 in some sort of jail. That is horrible. It's absolutely horrible. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.879 And you know, even when people found out the truth, 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.720 that leaves the you know, there's the echo in people's 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:14.359 brains of confirmation for a certain crowd of the whole 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:19.280 Trump voter racial relations thing, even though it wasn't true. Anyway, 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.760 here's another throwback. After we all found out what was happening, 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:27.199 he hired these bodybuilders to attack him and yell, you know, 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.399 this is Trump country, and they threw bleach on him 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.919 and everything like that. Here's them on the very street 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.960 corner where they attacked him, explaining the attack. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.920 This is where we waited for Jesse to come. So 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.160 I saw him out the corner of my eye and 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:42.560 I was. 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:44.120 Like, Okay, that's him, let's go. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.520 He turned around, looked at us, and that's when we 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:52.000 started yelling the famous slurs he wanted us to yell. 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:53.760 I threw the first punchadow. 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.320 I held the blow because I didn't want to hurt him, 0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:58.399 of course, and then. 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.000 I threw him to the ground. It to look like 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:02.000 he fought back. 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.200 That was very important for him. 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:13.160 Wow, you looked though you are an idiot. You're an 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.280 absolute idiot. I held back because I didn't hurt him. 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:20.280 If you've never seen these guys, they're super jacked, bodybuilder dudes. Anyways, 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.480 they'd knock you in the next week. Oh my, crush 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.399 your face he wanted to look like. And then I 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.600 remember the throwing the bleach on him. I think this 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.480 is from now them explaining what they think of the 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.880 whole deal. And the bleach is some sort of implied 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.560 what we're going to make you white? Or just bleach? 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.040 Is that just a caustic chemical? I guess I don't know. 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:47.440 I remember back in my racist days, well, I would 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.159 walk the streets of Chicago all the time a gallon 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.520 of bleach in my left hand. And you're missing right, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.200 and my maga hat, just waiting and this was the seventies, 0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:01.760 just waiting for some port unfortunate, wealthy black gay man 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.560 from the TV to come walking down the street, because 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.600 by god, if one did, we were ready for them. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.840 Not on my watch, you would say, she man. So 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:17.480 here's the Bodybuilders explaining more of the plot. I guess he. 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.000 Made it seem like this is what Hollywood does. He 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:25.920 mentioned Kim Kardashian during that time, she had a incident 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.840 where she got robbed and kidnapped in France, and he 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.680 said that was made up, that was fake. So that's 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.720 what I was thinking, like, Oh, this is what Hollywood does. 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.640 My brother and our professional actors, and we thought, oh, 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.120 this is our introduction into Hollywood. 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.159 And actually we go further in our book that we 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.920 just released Bigger Than Jesse. The reason why Jesse might 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:53.400
