WEBVTT - Plague Taxis!

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Jackie and Key arms Drawn, get it who I'm from?

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 1>The studio scene says you are. We are in a

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:33.919
<v Speaker 1>dimly lit room deeper.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Than the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday and under.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>The tutelage of our general manager.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 3>The hard parts, the hard part, Oh, our general manager

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 3>is a concept.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 3>We're going very igh minded here, very intellectual as in comma.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Here comes the hard part. What are we talking about?

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the negotiations over the fate of Ukraine. The diplomacy

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 3>that took place yesterday was very impressive, very interesting. The

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 3>more I look into it, the deeper I dive, the

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>more interesting it becomes.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>But now the.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Hard part, and I'm looking at the television. Some of

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the pictures out of that thing are really something. I mean,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>that's quite the historic meeting in terms of the group

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 2>of power that came together at the White House in

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>a way that has never happened in the history of

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the world. Right, really wild. I was watching some analysis

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>on News Nation Today and the guy said, and I

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think enough people are saying this. Does Putin have

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>any interest in any of this? Has anybody checked? Because

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a chance he has no interest in this whatsoever.

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>And if he doesn't, does any of this matter at all? Well, right,

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to at least it partially except the premise

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that he wants to end this and fairly quickly if

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>he can.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure he does.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>And if he doesn't have any interest at all, are

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you practically at square one.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>In terms of forcing him to end it? Or do

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>he just walk away? That what a great question.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, because from Putin's point of view, it's

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 3>not like he has two choices go along with the

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Trump plan or keep fighting. No, he has six or

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 3>seven choices, I mean, various shades of doing this, agreeing

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 3>to that, violating that in six months, you know, stringing

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>along the negotiations that start.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think most of the analysis approaches it

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>as if he has two choices. Most of the analysis

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>seems to approach it as this, as if he's on

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>board with wanting this to end. And it's just how,

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, what the what the construct of the ending

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 2>looks like it's like he has one choice. Is the

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>way it's being presented that he's already chosen. He wants

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 2>to end, everybody wants to end. It's what does that

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>look like? And he hasn't made any noises whatsoever that

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>is an interest at all.

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 3>No, there's probably a long Russian word for pretending to agree.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So other side show cards.

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, it's just I think what happened here,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 3>not that it's a bad thing, but he was just

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 3>curious to say.

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, well they cook up, let's find out.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>We're just delaying like a man and a woman. And

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>she's they're having a bit of an argument over you know,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>are they gonna have flowers on the table at the

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>wedding or just out front? And that's a lot of

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>money and she's never said yes. Maybe she's not gonna

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>say yes. You're arguing about stuff. Doesn't matter if she

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't say yes. And uh, I think that's might be

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>where we are on this now. Trump did say just

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit ago and we'll play some clips, and

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a called into Fox and Friends that something along the

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>lines of, uh, I hope Trump is good and if

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>he's not, it's gonna be it's gonna be ugly and

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>whatever ugly means, Houtin Putin, Yeah, Trump said, putting in

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the I hope he's gonna be good and if he's not,

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be ugly.

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, the whole question is security guarantees.

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, which Trump throughout for the first YadA, YadA, YadA,

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 3>security guarantees. That's an enormous topic, right, Putin's gonna have

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 3>some strong opinions about to say the.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Least Trump throughout for the first time ever. Uh.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>The idea of the United States being part of a

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>backup security guarantee, So that's a heck of a thing.

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>And Wall Street Journal writing about that today. We'll get

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to that later. But man boots on the ground of

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>European countries, I guess France and Great Britain and security

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>backup security guarantees from the United States. I saw former

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>uh what was Bolton under Trump? A national security advisor

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>saw him on one of the talk shows last night

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 2>saying guarantees from the United States of British and French

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 2>troops are if they get if they're getting their asses kicked,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>we we come in and fight. Also, that's what that means,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>and so that's a pretty big deal.

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a long way from where we were a year ago. Yeah. Yeah.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 3>And the question of what exactly Zelensky will agree to

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 3>or get his country to vote for, since that's what

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 3>their constitution says.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's an enormous open question too. It's huge.

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 3>We've just and then there's the you know, to continue

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 3>to your wedding, you know, metaphor. And there's a question

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 3>of kids, which we'll decide down the road anyway. Uh no, no, no, no,

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 3>oh wait wait wait right, so now comes the hard part.

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's an understatement.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.679
<v Speaker 2>If the if the other, if she has no interest

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>in getting married whatsoever, it's not the hard part. It's like,

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 2>what are we doing here? And I'm not sure Putin

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>has any interest in ending this? Well, right, yeah, And

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>it's an interesting point. It's not as if it is inevitable.

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>If you wrestle manfully enough with the issues and negotiate

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 2>skillfully and generously long enough, you will come to an argrant.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 2>It's possible the parties actually will get together and decide.

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>We have no overlap here, we have no common ground none,

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 3>and we despise each other.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>In fact, is that not the most likely outcome.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>You agreed on the kids and the flowers and the

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>caterer and how big the guest list was going to be.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>But you're a no on getting married.

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm a no. Well then what was all that?

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 3>You're the one who brought it up. I didn't A

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 3>troubling metaphor and disappointing. I didn't start the conversation about

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 3>flowers and catering.

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>You did, so I went along with it. But I

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>never said I had any interest in getting married. What

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>did we spend on the invitations?

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Again?

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 3>Man, that's your deal, that's your whole idea. I really

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 3>think I even like you.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 4>Boy.

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of that, I just can't belie.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Leave that Putin and Zelenski are going to be in

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>a room together alone.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>It's brutal to contemplate, doesn't it? Just the.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Hatred legitimate from Zelensky side. Oh, how would you not

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>have depatred for that guy? You would think the best

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>thing I could do for my country is if I

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>could attack him in time, to stick my thumbs through

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>his eye sockets and scramble his brain. That'd be the

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>best thing I could do for my country. Require unusually

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>long thumbs. But I see your point. Yeah, yeah, Do

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>they shake hands?

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god?

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 2>How could you possibly shake hands with your put and

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>sent a missile into an apartment complex yesterday killed a

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 2>whole family, including a little girl.

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Man, how could you shake hands with that guy? Well,

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 3>and they have abducted to twenty thirty forty fifty thousand.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Nobody's quite sure. How many Ukrainian children? Can you imagine

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 3>if somebody did that to the US friends, and then

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>our president was forced to shake his hand and beg

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 3>him for a deal.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 2>And stand side by side for a picture. No, it's

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>impossible to imagine.

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>We wouldn't I know a.

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Lot of you that would fight to the death before

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 3>you watched that scene.

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, I don't know.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And so I think what I heard today was that

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Putin asked for the one on one with Zelensky. I

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>think he's asking for that with the idea of all

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>this will be something. How's he going to react to this?

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and Putin a TV boy, let's get it on.

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Putin has all the cards in terms of trying to

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>make Zelensky nuts. Oh yeah, I mean if he sits

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 2>down and talks, Yeah, and talks about how you know

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you started this war or any of that kind of crap,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.719
<v Speaker 2>or we're only bombing military installations, or just any of

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the lies that he throws out.

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Got it be impossible not to lose your head. Yeah?

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And what would the security look like there? How's

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 3>school enrollment in Ukraine? It's great in Russia. You got

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>lots of great new kids here, yeah exactly. Yeah, teaching

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 3>them all about Russia and how it's one country with

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine and teaching them the language to Russian.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Of course, that seems you should go berserk. Yeah, I

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>just I can't imagine that that's happening. And Trump's talking

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>about it like it's going to wow. How about well,

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>let's uh, well before we take a break.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 4>So the.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Did the hot mic moment? I suppose if you follow

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the news, everybody's heard it. So Trump's tropping talking to

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Macron as they're getting ready to sit down and everything

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>like that, and he says to Macron something along the

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>lines of yeah, I talked to him, and I think

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>he really wants to for me, he wants to do

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a deal.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 1>I think Trump's out of his mind, thinking.

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 3>That puts that easily manipulated, thinking that Putin, as a

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 3>personal favor to Trump, is willing to do some sort

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 3>of deal because of Trump's you know, because of their bond.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That's scary. It is scary. I don't know how Trump

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I could possibly think that. Yeah, yeah, now.

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I did hear one of your report that Trump was

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>livid on the plane back from Alaska on Friday, felt

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 2>like he'd really been jerked around, that Putin had led

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>him to believe that he was interested in doing something

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and then got there and wasn't interested in anything.

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you.

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Got led to believe. I mean, we don't know what

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>exactly they're saying on all these phone calls. They were

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 2>on the phone together for forty minutes yesterday.

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>But why do you believe this guy? He's a freaking snake.

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, Well, unless we want to end up

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.319
<v Speaker 3>in a FCC gulag, we probably want to start the

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 3>show officially.

<v Speaker 3>Democracy with mail in ballas.

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 1>You know that we're the only country in the world,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe I may be, but just about the only

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>country in the world that.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 5>Uses it because of what's happened, massive fraud.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>All over the place.

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we just threw out another really really controversial

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 2>hot topic.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.880

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 3>toward domestic policy eliminating mail in ballots I assume, aside

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 3>from people who actually need them now troops seving is

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 3>serving overseas, et cetera. But yeah, that'll be a that'll

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 3>be a big one.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And we can certainly discuss all the ins and out

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>so that a little bit later, and whatever other news

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>of the day there is, and there's a there's a

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>fair amount out there, as there is always, but that

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 2>that meeting at the Oval Office yesterday was just absolutely

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>mind blowing in terms of its significance and power, all

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>gathered together in one place. Some of the analysis that

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>exists out there from all the smart people, we can

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>pass that along to you. We'd like to hear from you.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Text line four one, five, two nine five k FTC.

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 2>They are the first place Dodgers and a wagon jumping

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 2>fake fan. That's what I say. I'm too busy to

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 2>root for teams that lose.

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got that kind of time. Wow. Wow, that's great.

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what being a fan is. Being a fan.

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.599
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know.

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I used to be super into that sort of thing,

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 2>but now that I'm not. It just I can't even imagine, however,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>was It's like being a fan of a band and

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>then getting angry if another band puts out a good album.

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just I don't. I don't understand. He's

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a monster, folks, He's no American. I don't. I don't know.

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know.

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 3>story with Katie Green Katie all right, starting with ABC.

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Quote.

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 5>Truly a significant step, Zelensky says of White House meeting with.

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump again, it is very significant if Putin has any

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>interest in this also, and if he doesn't, I'm not

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.439
<v Speaker 2>sure we accomplish anything well.

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 3>And to you know, rephrase that, if Putin has any

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 3>interest in anything that would have any interest for the

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Ukrainian side, right, I mean even if he thinks, yeah,

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 3>we could probably come to a deal, and oh, I

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 3>wants forty percent of Ukraine.

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Well it's over and no troops in the country.

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 5>From the Free Beacon, The Associated Press suggests Gossen Evacuie

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 5>died of starvation without ever mentioning that she suffered from leukemia.

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there is a hell of an exposa in the

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Free Press on the absolutely systematic use of people suffering

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 3>from other diseases in major publications and broadcast networks to

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 3>illustrate Israel's cruelty, even though it has nothing to do

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 3>with that knowing. It's not two examples, it's dozen. Is

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 3>it knowingly or is it just they don't do their homework.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 3>I think it's they don't bother checking Hamas feeds it

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and they gobble it right.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 4>From the Washing and Post. As more National Guard units.

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 5>Deployed to DC, local officials.

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 4>Are questioning the need.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just saw that other Red states are sending

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 3>troops to d three of them.

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you guys remember that trans flag that popped up

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 5>in Yosemite.

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah from NBC.

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Park ranger fired after draping transgender flag on Yosemites El Capitan.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, good good. It's not your job. You obviously care

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 2>more about that issue than being a park ranger. We'll

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 2>find somebody else who's mostly interested in being a park ranger.

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 5>From bright part dot com, godfather of AI Jeffrey Hinton

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.720

<v Speaker 1>And what the hell does that mean? He was saying,

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you're a duck.

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like letting them take control is how we're going

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 5>to survive AI.

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Okay, I send that to me. I want to

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>read then. Okay.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>watches these channels anyway.

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Only radio hosts talk about them.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 4>It just said that they're changing it this year.

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, they're losing all the assets of NBC News though,

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 3>So what emerges? I mean nobody watches it now? I

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 3>mean it's NBC held on to was it Telemundo but

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 3>got rid of MSNBC if you'd want to know an

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.200

<v Speaker 5>Study fines young men are t maxing testosterone.

<v Speaker 1>What's that they're saying?

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Kids like young teenagers are upping their testosterone levels by

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 5>like taking supplements.

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>How do they get them?

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 4>They it's called t maxing.

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Are they those phony supplements that don't actually do any good?

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to dig into that.

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 5>And finally, the babylon Bee Democrats say mail in ballot

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.320

<v Speaker 1>there again.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, the problem with all of it is that that's

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 3>determined by the states right in charge of voting, right

0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 3>as it should be.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:16:59.400

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.360
<v Speaker 2>NATO country guarantees were brought up yesterday, and we need

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk to a military guy about what that would

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 2>look like, what that actually means. So I'm looking forward

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to that conversation right.

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, so switching to the domestic scene, at least temporarily,

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 3>there are a number of stories that show enormous progress.

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Towards sanity.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 3>We were talking yesterday about an absolutely blockbuster report in

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 3>the Hill about how vast majorities of college kids don't

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 3>believe the garbage they've been indoctrinated in, but they're afraid

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 3>to say it.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 2>That is one of the more important things for people

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>to know that I can remember. I mean, this is

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 2>important information.

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we hammered.

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 3>This pretty good yesterday, but seventy eight percent of students

0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 3>told us a self censor on their belief surrounding gender identity,

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 3>seventy two percent on politics in general, sixty eight percent

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:10.239
<v Speaker 3>on family values. They value what are traditionally known as

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 3>family values, but they dare not speak it on college campus,

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.639
<v Speaker 3>and more than eighty percent so they'd submitted classwork that

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 3>mis represented their views in order to align with professors.

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 3>You give them a chance and they will tell you

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 3>what they really think. And we are on the cusp.

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I think of a huge move toward the youngsters or

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.479
<v Speaker 3>recognizing what's being done at colleges. It's not education at all,

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:44.920
<v Speaker 3>it's in doctrination. But those poll numbers were stunning and encouraging.

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 3>The important thing to me, though, is just realizing that

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 3>as human nature, that we're all so susceptible.

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about all, but so many people are

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>susceptible to this.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of keeping your mouth shut if you think most

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 2>people don't agree with you. I keep my mouth shut

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>in most social situations about political stuff. But right, well,

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>and the whole concept of a preference distortion, which I

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>find so interesting that you because everybody around you is silent,

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you think, oh, I'm probably one of the only people

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 2>who believes this because they agree with the powerful people

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>who are telling us all what we ought to believe.

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But no, you're all sitting there thinking the same thing.

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know how many times, probably everybody's had

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 2>this situation where that is going on, and somebody says,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm a gun owner, and I'm me too,

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 2>me too, and that's oh, geez, okay, so we're not

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>all well, and that's whatever the topic is.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's the crazy thing.

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.199
<v Speaker 3>You know too, If you find yourself in college and thinking,

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 3>you know this this stuff about you know, the gender

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 3>bending madness, a man can just become a woman and

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 3>that's really a woman, and all the other stuff they

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 3>teach these poor kids, all the critical theory stuff. If

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 3>you have the courage to stand up and be that

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.159
<v Speaker 3>rebel and think, you know what, ten percent of us

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 3>are together, I'm going to stand up and say so,

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden, eighty five percent of the

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 3>class is on your side.

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You are a rebel, but you know you're not nearly

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:08.440
<v Speaker 1>as lone as you think.

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't blame people though, I mean, well, it's

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.640
<v Speaker 2>not blame them at all. First of all, everything that's

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 2>been presented to all of us led us to believe

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>that this is what most people on college campuses thought.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Was this stuff.

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Well that's part of the insidious plot. That's what propaganda is.

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Sure, and telling everybody, including the teachers who are going

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 2>to grade you, that they're wrong, completely wrong, is not

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>always your best move, right. Oh yeah, Well that's why

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent of the kids submitted work that they didn't believe,

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>because they had to get some to get their grades

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 2>and move on in life. Nearly four out of five.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe this, but I'm gonna pretend I do

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to get along. That's amazing.

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, but that's you know, that's.

0:21:53.119 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Indoctrination, especially of youth, is all about fighting unfairly and

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 3>bullying and convincing kids that everybody believes it, and anybody

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 3>who dissents as a bad person. So yeah, I don't

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 3>blame the kids at all. No, I want to fight

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 3>against the evil doers or bullying them anyway.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh mor good.

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 3>News, and if San Francisco's doing it, it's gonna spread.

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco has embraced a new tool to clear homeless camps.

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 3>I've noticed city officials pointing to cleaner streets. Is evidence

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.359
<v Speaker 3>that more active approach is working. I feel like my reporter,

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:30.919
<v Speaker 3>I say it's cruel and nasty.

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 2>I feel like my reporting, with my own circumstances, was

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 2>leading the way long before the Wall Street Journal or

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 2>others picked up on this. On the East coast, San

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Francisco's a complete If you haven't been in a long time,

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 2>it's a completely different looking city than it was a

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 2>year ago.

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing.

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, between July of last year and July of this year,

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 3>the city arrested or cited more than one thousand and

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 3>eighty people on illegal lodging charges. That's over ten times

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 3>the number of arrests during the same period a year

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 3>early under the progressive former administration. Last time I was

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 3>in downtown San Francisco, I saw a homeless person one

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.159
<v Speaker 3>and that person was being talked to by somebody from

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 3>the city about how you got to get out of here.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 3>So the residents and business owners complaining about safety as

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 3>encampments grew have finally been heard now. Of course, the

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 3>activists say, you're merely shifting the homeless population around the

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 3>city and putting homeless people a greater risk. Shut up

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 3>a most of them need to shrug addicts. Yeah, yeah,

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 3>shut up. So San Francisco is doing a good job.

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 3>It is possible, even under some of the bizarre court

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 3>rulings recently. And also and this is out of San

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Francisco as well. Once seen as a model of progressive

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 3>drug policy, San Francisco stands now as a morbid example

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 3>of how harm reduction has gone astray.

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:55.360
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the.

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Shibboleths, one of the gods of the left is that

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 3>you've got to help junkies do drugs safely and comfortably.

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Look I get the clean needles thing, I get the

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:10.640
<v Speaker 3>impulse there.

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 1>What's the theory on that?

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Though?

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, how's that supposed to end?

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 5>That?

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>People will on their own decide, you know what, I

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 2>don't want to live in my own filth on the

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 2>street at some point, yes, okay, yes, exactly.

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 3>In fact, this Gal who's the executive director of the

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 3>National Harm Reduction Coalition, called the shift in San Francisco

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 3>away from the harm reduction quote moronic and antithetical to

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 3>what we know works. But the problem in San Francisco

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 3>and other progressive cities is that harm reduction has become

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 3>completely divorced from recovery.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:49.120
<v Speaker 1>What began as a.

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Campaign to keep people live long enough to recover from

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 3>addiction has devolved into a philosophy that no longer considers

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 3>recovery as necessary.

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Or even desirable.

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Question of whether or not harm reduction is successful comes

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 3>down to whether it's treated as a gateway to recovery

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>or as an alternative to it.

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>So there you go.

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:11.439
<v Speaker 3>It has become an alternative to getting off of drugs.

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 2>What percentage? So I'm I'm not a big financed by

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you the taxpayer. I'm not big on the uh on

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>rehabs and that sort of stuff, because they are incredibly unsuccessful,

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 2>and nobody pays any attention to that. But of people

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 2>that I mean, not just for regular people, of people

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 2>that are so far down the whole drug road that

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you're sleeping on the street next to another drug addict,

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 2>how many of those people ever clean up? I wonder

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.440
<v Speaker 2>half a one percent. I'll bet it's I'll bet it's very,

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 2>very low.

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm guessing you know, a pretty good chunk of

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 3>them continue using into their forties fifties, and then they

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 3>succumb to you know, the sort of thing middle aged

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 3>addicts do. As you know, a corner once said, in

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:01.640
<v Speaker 3>response to the question who's your most common customer, they

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:07.879
<v Speaker 3>said male fifties alcoholic, and I'm sure drug addict. Now,

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:11.639
<v Speaker 3>because that was, gosh, fifteen years ago, I think they

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 3>would probably say, yeah, middle aged drug addict or a

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>young drug addict. Anyway, more good news, though. Don't want

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 3>to get focused on the bad news. Want to get

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:22.720
<v Speaker 3>focused on the fact that a lot of the insane

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 3>policies of the left are being abandoned, even in places

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 3>like San Francisco. Different topic, but kind of the same area.

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Boston Children's Hospital. The Harvard Medical Research and Training Hospital

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 3>that specializes in children's care, had previously insisted that they

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.880
<v Speaker 3>do not perform genital surgeries as part of gender affirming

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 3>care on patients under the age of eighteen, but a

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 3>journal of Clinical Medicine Studies published a couple of years

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 3>ago that was improved. Blah blah blah describes chest surgeries

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 3>for those who were fifteen, as well as genital surgeries

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 3>for those over seventeen, And the Trump administration has subpoenaed

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 3>all sorts of information from them, and because of that,

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 3>at least partly, and this is from the New York Times,

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 3>uh reload plays there. It is hospitals are limiting gender

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 3>treatment for transminers. Both of those phrases ought to be

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 3>in quotes because they're made up. Even in blue states,

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 3>three prominent medical centers in California recently announced they would

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 3>stop the treatments, citing pressure from the Trump administration and

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 3>from from sanity.

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's good.

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of real madness being rolled back. Good

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 3>progress domestically.

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Love it.

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's not focus on the grim stuff. So you mentioned

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 2>before the show you got a cold, I do. It

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 2>seems fairly mild, oh as most of my colds have

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 2>been in the last I don't know decade.

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, good for you. I hate cold. I haven't had

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 1>one in a long time.

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I've got maybe the Remember that streak I had with

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:54.879
<v Speaker 3>whooping coffin colds.

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I was sick for like six months. I feel like

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 2>like non stop. It's horrible. I've meant second time. I

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 2>have no idea why, though I wish I knew why,

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.920
<v Speaker 2>if like I was doing something washing my hands more,

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 2>staying away from cretans or I don't know what, but that.

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>One, that's a big one, you know.

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm scratchy of throats and runny of nose and

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 3>I want to lie down every minute.

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 1>But no, that's probably not that. But not you wish

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't care, but not you wish you were dead,

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like bad colds can be. Nah now and.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 3>It's good because we're traveling overseas on Friday.

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe.

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't pick up on the obvious. Why have I

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:36.640
<v Speaker 2>not been sick and roughly three months? Anyway? My kids

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 2>are back in school. Oh yeah, oh, my kids have

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 2>been out of school all summer long. That's why I

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't been sick, and now my kids are back in school,

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 2>so welcome back the common cold.

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 3>Those clever little microbe messengers bringing home little microscopic notes

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 3>from their friends.

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a nice sales lady around here calls the kids

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 2>going to school plague, taxis plague, taxis perfect. I know, God,

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>dang it, kids are back in school, so bring back

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the gold.

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>All. Oh, well, that's just part of it. Occurs to me,

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I should name names.

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Back to the transgender youth thing, mutilating poor innocent children

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>who are momentarily confused with either chemicals or knives. Children's

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Hospital LA Shuddered Center for trans Youth Health and Development,

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Thank god. Stanford Medicine San Francisco Bay Areas paused surgical procedures,

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 3>including new puberty blocker implants for those under.

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>The age of nineteen, Oh my god.

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 3>And Kaiser Permanenae, one of the biggest health systems in

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 3>the nation with dozens of facilities in California, announced it

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 3>would pause gender related surgeries for patients under the age

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 3>of nineteen. Can you imagine the sort of person who

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 3>would mutilate a confused teenager, probably autistic, probably suffering from

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 3>other emotional problems because they thought they're desperate, desperate road

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 3>to happiness might be some sort of sex change because

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 3>they're confused children. Can you imagine executing those confused wishes?

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Ugh, or just or monsters or people who are just

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a feminine gay boys or masculine gay.

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Girls right who've been convinced by the activists. No, No,

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 3>you've got to have a surgeon cut on you to

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 3>become who you really are.

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>What is that?

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:29.239
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad you see a gay little fellas and

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 3>butch girls.

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>You're exactly the way you ought to be. Have a

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 1>great life.

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Here at the Fascist Conservative Armstrong and Getdy show.

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>We accept you for you who you are. You're fine,

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You're like God made you. Don't let those sickos hack

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you up. Good lord.

0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Esh Okay, we're gonna get into the whole Ukraine thing

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and what security guarantees would look like from the United

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 2>States and European troops and all that sort of stuff.

0:30:57.440 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 2>An hour two we got mail bag on the way

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 2>next to here. Hetty, I did not know this. I

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 2>thought this was over September. Congress comes back to DC,

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 2>front and center, right off the bat Ebstein crap. Oh, no,

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are going to be able to force all kinds

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of different Epstein conversations. Republicans have enough stuff in their

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>own party to want it to happen. It's going to

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:27.719
<v Speaker 2>be back in our lives again.

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Perfect time for the freedom loving quote of the day,

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 3>based on Trump saying we need to get rid of

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 3>paper or mail in ballots. I thought i'd go with

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 3>the series quotes about voting. Why not start off with

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 3>the granddaddy of them all. We're gonna start with the

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 3>showstopper Weston Churchill. The best argument against democracy is a

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 3>five minute conversation.

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 1>With the average voter.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Eyah, eh, mail bag, rub us a note, mail bag

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 3>and armstrung and getty dot com. Here's a nice note

0:31:56.520 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 3>from alien anonymous. My daughters yard at school last week

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 3>in Oakland, California. On the third day of school, they

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 3>posted this flyer on the bulletin board. Notice that the

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>reading is for only pre K through first graders. It

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 3>is a drag queen presenting to the little kids. Everyone

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 3>can make their own rainbow. Also because they announced they

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 3>will lot to have freaking believable I was disgusted by

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.479
<v Speaker 3>this rights aleen. Also because they noticed they will not

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 3>be doing a Grandparent's Day this year, since some kids

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 3>have no grandparents and feel left out, we decided to

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 3>keep our daughter out of school the entire week as

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 3>a protest. Since they rely so much on attendance for funding,

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 3>I may be blackballed for the community that I want

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 3>to stand for what's right, and then mentions our conversation

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:46.240
<v Speaker 3>yesterday and says, I'm.

0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Going to stand up and say what I believe.

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully a preference cascade takes hold here after you have

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 3>preference falsification and people realize, wait a minute, I'm just

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 3>going to say what I believe, and then they find

0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 3>out everybody agrees with me. That's what's own is a

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 3>preference cascade.

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I can understand why people don't know, because I mean,

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you're hanging around with the other parents at the park,

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>at the playground after school. You don't want to be

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 2>the pariah or enemies with these people.

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>But that is incredible.

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So you eliminate Grandparents' Day because some kids don't have grandparents,

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 2>but you're willing to have every kid exposed to the

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 2>drag queen crap right.

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's unbelievable. I know. We need to shut down

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>our entire education system.

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And start a new speaking of which Eric from Florida writes, Florida's.

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Getting after it.

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Here's what students can expect in Florida schools next year.

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 3>The coursework involves instructions on communist movements in places like Russia, China, Cuba,

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 3>even the US itself. According to the Legislative Analyst, instruction

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 3>must include age appropriate content about the following, the history

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 3>of communism in the US and domestic communist movements, atrocities

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 3>committed in foreign countries under the guys of communism, comparative

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 3>discussion of political ideologies such as communism, totalitarianism, et cetera,

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:57.960
<v Speaker 3>the increasing threat of communism in the US and to

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 3>its allies, the economic industrial political events that have preceded

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 3>communist revolutions, and the communist policies at Cuba, and the

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 3>spread of communist ideologies throughout Latin America. Good for you, Flora,

0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.439
<v Speaker 3>Good for you. How much time do you add?

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Michael? Oh, this is so good? Do I have time for?

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:18.800
<v Speaker 1>It's from Zach reading from the Book of Gavin.

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 3>And it came to pass in those days that tidings

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 3>went up, fourth went forth upon x which in times

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:26.760
<v Speaker 3>past was called twitter, and lo the people did marvel,

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 3>for the saying was spread abroad. Behold thy savior hath

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:34.240
<v Speaker 3>arisen among thee. And they lifted up their voice and cried, surely, surely,

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Gavin Newsom of California's risen yea, even as the Christ

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.319
<v Speaker 3>of old. And then the people rejoiced and spake to

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 3>one another, saying, behold, he shall deliver us from the

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Orange hitler, even the man called Trump, which reigneth his

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 3>king in the White House of Marble.

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I got a skip a little.

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Bit nice, yes, spake and they and yet they regarded

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:59.360
<v Speaker 3>not the cry of the poor, neither of the multitude

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 3>of the homeless, nor the plague of strange powders and needles.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Neither considered they the broken hideways, nor the grievous cost

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 3>of bread and dwelling.

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, I should finish this leaders. I'm gonna start

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:15.880
<v Speaker 2>working in spake more often. So we're gonna talk to

0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Mike Lines about what a US security guarantee for Ukraine

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 2>would look like, among other things.

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Next hour.

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 3>If you don't get a good podcast, Armstrong and Getty
