Speaker 3: What's that quote from that that song you like to

9
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: throw around?

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: If you don't want to party something, don't darken my door?

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Oh from Prince if you didn't come to party, don't

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: bother knocking on my door? Hell yeah, from nineteen ninety

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: nine exactly. That's what we got going on today. If

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: you didn't come to the party, don't bother knocking on our door?

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Right the hell? It's the matter with you.

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: And today today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: The Dolge Brothers turned loose on DC to shape it up.

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Fantastic, I hell of it. We'll see. It's worth a shot, Eh,

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: couldn't hurt, couldn't hurt?

20
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: You know?

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that. How if you're.

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Our age or so, you grew up in an age

23
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: where Ronald Reagan said, what was his thing. The scariest

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: nine words in the English language are I'm from the government,

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm here to help I mean, I'm here to help you. Yeah,

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: let me say that again so people can hear what

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: we said. I'm from the government and I'm here to

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: help you. Ronald Reagan once said, we're the scariest words

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: in the English language. And then Bill Clinton ran on

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: the area of the era of big government is over.

31
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: And then that went away for many, many decades, and

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: it was all about who can we give how much

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: and how many more programs can we build, and let's

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: throw money at everything exactly.

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: There's an enormous attitudinal shift that became the government is

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: here to give me my material comforts and to solve

37
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: my problems, all of them.

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and anyway, so that may have reverted. Maybe the

39
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: state is on the retreat again. That would be nice

40
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: if that's the case. I don't know if it is, but.

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: It reminds me of several of the topics that we

42
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: discuss a fair amount. It's going to be a long,

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: hard fight, a couple of victories, a couple of headlines,

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: it's going to feel great, But often the evildoers, whoever

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: you perceive them to be. One of their strategies is

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: to like The University of Michigan, for instance, just announced

47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: that it blessedly will no longer require testaments of ideological

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: faithfulness to the cult, also known as DEI statements. They said,

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: I can't require those in any department in the university,

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: and that's great. That's a good set because they're obscene.

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: But at the same time, the administration made it clear

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: that diversity, equity, and inclusion are among our most cherished

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: principles here at Michigan. So you know, it's a small victory,

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: but just small, right, do you know?

55
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Do you understand this breaking news from the Wall Street

56
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: Journal that happened this morning. Boeing's plea deal and two

57
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: deadly seven thirty seven Max crashes has been rejected. The

58
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: judge cited what he called an inappropriate DEI requirement in

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: the agreement. Oh really, yeah, I haven't read the story yet.

60
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: I just saw the headline.

61
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

62
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just saw the judge plea deal thing and

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: thought we probably won't talk about it.

64
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there was a DEI component.

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: But again, you know, whether spending or that sort of stuff,

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: I just maybe it's on the retreat.

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Finally, after a good solid run of a couple of

68
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: decades for crying out loud.

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: Wellan, what do you do when the other team is

70
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: when you got the other team down?

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Jack?

72
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: What do you do into a big NFL weekend? You

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: don't know this, You're you got no chance the other

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: teams down.

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: You step on of their throat. O wow. You don't

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: let them back in the game, don't let them hang around.

77
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: You crush them. Somewhat graphic.

78
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: If you're din't golf your match play, you're up five,

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: you go up seven.

80
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: You put your foot out their throat.

81
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: I wish I could figure out a way as a

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: parent to not get stressed out about buying gifts for

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: kids for Christmas.

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I shouldn't, but I do.

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: I have, and I am again this year as Christmas

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: is approaching and trying to figure out what I'm going

87
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: to get the kids or how much is too much

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: or too little, or or what or getting them what

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: they want or not getting what they want or all

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. I just I'm not good at

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: doing that and making it fun.

92
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: For some reason. It's it's it's it's a task, it's

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: a it's a burden for me as a person, you're

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: alone in that instead of something that should be enjoyable.

95
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people stress about that.

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: It just it seems like they're doing it. Seems like

97
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm doing something wrong. If it's a burden and and

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: and and unpleasant as opposed to something joyous, it doesn't

99
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: even have to be joyous. I'd settle for breaking even.

100
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: I'd settle for neutral, like when you go to the

101
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: grocery store pick up milk. I'd settle for neutral as

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: opposed to you know, stressful burden.

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Right.

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: And while there is a great deal of love and

105
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: fun in raising teenagers, at times, it can be like

106
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: the US's relationship with Turkey.

107
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: It's an uneasy alliance. Yeah, I will have two teenagers

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: in two weeks, although only one of them has made

109
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: the teenager turn into he'd just assume I wasn't around, So.

110
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: That makes it somewhat easier. I guess I realized that's

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: part of the li But they both are to the

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: age where they mostly want clothes for Christmas, and uh, okay, fine,

113
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know how much fun that's going to

114
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: be to play with your new pants on Christmas afternoon.

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: But uh, you know whatever.

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: I know, well, I would suggest, and I'm sure Michael

117
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: agrees with me. Gifts they'll always treasure, like a nice

118
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: writing tablet and some gel pens to practice their penmanship

119
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: in an abacus helps them better understand mathematics.

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: My excellent idea.

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, learning tools exactly.

122
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's an abacus. Son.

123
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: My son last night had a biology thing and usually

124
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: I can help with homework, but he brought me down something.

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: He said, do you understand any of this?

126
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: And I looked at it and I read like for

127
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: thirty seconds and thought, I don't have the slightest idea

128
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: what any of this is.

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know where to start.

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure if I googled it and started

131
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: from the beginning, I could learn it, but it might

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: take me an hour. There certainly wasn't Oh sure I

133
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: help you with that?

134
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: Wow? What was the topic? Briefly? Did you get that far?

135
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Was it like?

136
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: Was photosynthesis or cell division?

137
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 2: Different kinds of plants breeding together, and what traits would

138
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 2: take over there? Unnatural putting it and different? What traits

139
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: would take over? And you had to form a grid

140
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: of what kind of plant you're probably, but anyway, it's

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: very specific, and I had genetics.

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: You do it using terms I don't know if I

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: ever learned. So I often think, is this something I

144
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: did I never learn this because he's going to a

145
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: private school that might be teaching him. Suff I didn't

146
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: learn in a public school? Or did I learn this?

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: And like I have zero recognition, in which case, in

148
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: my son's ways saying why am I gonna lose use this? See,

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: you don't remember and you're fine, And I was thinking,

150
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: just because you're right, son, doesn't mean you shouldn't shut

151
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: up and learn something you'll never need.

152
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: I thought, I wonder if I did learn this, and

153
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: like I have zero recognition of it, not just oh

154
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: yeah kind of a has a mazing memory.

155
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Zero, in which case you have to ask the question,

156
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: don't you what is the point?

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: Well, it was a tool you didn't use. I just

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: got rid of a saw minor saw. I'm never gonna

159
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: use it again, And I saw but I had the tool.

160
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: I used it a little bit, and I decided I

161
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: didn't need it anymore. Your day to day life does

162
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: not require a knowledge of alleles and other you know,

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: genetic mumbo jumbo, which again I kind of remember some

164
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: of the words, but sure's heck not.

165
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: What they mean. Yeah, I don't know.

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: I found all that stuff fascinating. I did too basic genetics.

167
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: I never got beyond that.

168
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, we should start the show officially.

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this is how

170
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: did it already get to be?

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: See?

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: This is where the pressure is coming, right, parents, husbands, wives,

173
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: whoever's buying stuff for people.

174
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: It is Friday, December the sixth.

175
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: We're running out of time here in the year twenty

176
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: twenty four, warmstrong and getting we approve of this program.

177
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: Let's begin the show then, officially, according to FCC rules

178
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: and regulations, here we go.

179
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Starting at mark.

180
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: As Biden took part in the annual lighting of the

181
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: White House Christmas tree. Not only did he light the

182
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: tree this year, he gave it a preemptive pardon just in.

183
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: Case it yeah, calls over on someone.

184
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 4: Or gets all coked up and throws its gun in

185
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: the dumpster hood. They kept referring to it as Biden's

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: final tree lighting ceremony, which, when you're his age and

187
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 4: probably not what you want to hear. Everything you could,

188
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: you do, could be your final time doing it is

189
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: could also be his last time wearing shoes outside.

190
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Wow from the liberal.

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: Kimmel The age shots are one thing, But man, that

192
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: was a pointed joke about Hunter Biden's pardon. Get coked

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: up and throw a gun and dumpster.

194
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.

195
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: The more I think about and read about the preemptive

196
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: blanket pardon and the fact that, God help us, they're

197
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: considering bestowing that on other people, the more I think

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: it's one of the more dangerous and notable moments in

199
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: presidential history.

200
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

201
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, I think this is going to emerge

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: as the worst thing Joe Biden ever did or already has.

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's a that's a hell of a list.

204
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: But I don't think you're wrong.

205
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: I was listening to the Dispatch, which were fans of

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: They have their lawyers on their advisory opinions taking a

207
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: look at things, and Sarahsger and David French, both Harvard

208
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: lawyer people, looking at the pardon and like really getting

209
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: into the nitty gritty of the legal but they're both

210
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: super anti Trump, angry as hell over this, horrified, mostly

211
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: because of the attacking the Justice Department, that's where the

212
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: rubber meets the road on this. Everybody agrees. You pardon

213
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: your kid, We get it. You attack the Justice Department

214
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: and act like this was a phony political witch hunt. Okay,

215
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: now you're into crazyville and just destroying major institutions and

216
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: all kinds of bad stuff.

217
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh and as they pointed out, so no whiff.

218
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 5: You didn't.

219
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever mentioned anything in the Biden White House about

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: political prosecutions around Trump. All of those court cases, all

221
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: of them that happened to come up during a presidential election,

222
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: completely legit and the timing and everything, but the one

223
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: against your son absolutely so political.

224
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: I had to pardon him. Yeah, give me a break.

225
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't understand it.

226
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: And maybe it's because Joe Biden's senile or his nut

227
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: job wife, if fake doctor is calling the shots. But

228
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: his rationale, that conspiracy theory against his own Justice Department,

229
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: again ignoring all the obvious lawfair that's been going on

230
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: in the other direction, has been bought by exactly nobody.

231
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: There are a couple of minor waste of time talking

232
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: heads on cable news that are making noises like.

233
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: Well, the president has a case. It makes a good point,

234
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: but nobody actually believes.

235
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: It, So why would you pooh all over what tread

236
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: of credibility you have left in your quote unquote legacy

237
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: when when you have the card. Look, I love the boy,

238
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: I have this power. I've got a magic wand I'm

239
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: gonna use it. I know you hate me for it.

240
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: I apologize, but my son's a screw up, and I'm

241
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: an old man. I can't stand to see him go

242
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: to prison.

243
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Sorry.

244
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: Well, I got some theories, but we'll talk about that

245
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: more later. How does mailbag look pretty good? But we

246
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: have to give way to cow of course. Clips of

247
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: the week awesome, that's on the way, And here's our

248
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: text line four one five two nine five k ftc.

249
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong And in a sign that Pete Hegseth is definitely

250
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: not bowing out. He is agreed to the FBI background checking.

251
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: So that's gonna begin. So there was some speculation yesterday

252
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: that when he didn't go to mar A Lago that

253
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: the deal was up or jig was up or whatever,

254
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: but apparently not coming up.

255
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: Mail Bag freedom loving Quote of the day. All sorts

256
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: of unpacking of more of the oral arguments before the

257
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: Spring Court, the more I and other people dig into it,

258
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: the more insane, the whole gender bending madness becomes all

259
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: sorts of good stuff to get to. But first, let's

260
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 3: take a fond look back at the week that was.

261
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 3: It's cow clips of the Week.

262
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm in the final weeks of my presidency. You don't

263
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: have to clap through that. Wow, I got nothing for

264
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: you on that. The whips of the week, Pete Hegseeth

265
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: is digging his heels in. I'm not gonna have a

266
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: dream that all believe that he is not that man

267
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: he was seven years ago.

268
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: Cash Patel, he is the most unfairly maligned person that

269
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: I work with.

270
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: Trump's enemies quote should be very afraid. Yes, we're going

271
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: to come after the people in the media.

272
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 6: The court has to treat it like all other forms

273
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 6: of sex discrimination.

274
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: Countries that have been at the forefront of this are

275
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: pumping the breaks.

276
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 5: Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking astrid.

277
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: These are young people who may have known since they

278
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: were two years old exactly who they are. And have

279
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: you ruled out a pardon for your son?

280
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: Yes, no reasonable person who looks at the facts of

281
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was

282
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: singled out.

283
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 5: He changed this decision this weekend because he believes in the.

284
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Justice of sul Why don't you go ahead and pardon

285
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: with Donald Trumpy.

286
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: They are the goats of this favorite form of corruption.

287
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: That if the hostages are not released prior to January twentieth,

288
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, there will be all hell to pay

289
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: in the Middle East.

290
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Trump joked to him, Then maybe.

291
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: Canada should become the fifty first state and Trudeau could

292
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: become its governor.

293
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: We do have too much regulation in this country. This

294
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: country is so set up to grow.

295
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: But when it came to trimming the fat out of Twitter,

296
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: what he basically did is just open the door for

297
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: Nazis and Hamas.

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 6: The Syrian military is rushing and reinforcements, as rebels expand,

299
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 6: they're deadly offensive.

300
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: A lot of the impulsion backers of Syria who have

301
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: supported it and kept the rebels from the duel are

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: no longer as powerful as they would.

303
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: The possible message, which appears to include the words deny, depose, and.

304
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: Defend, but I can't tell you it. Nobody enjoys flying

305
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: in your airlines. It's a disaster. Now go poop in

306
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: a bucket, you beasts.

307
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 5: This is behind, who brought it in, pitched its tail touchdown.

308
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: Really feels like the Bills year. Sometimes sports teams just

309
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: have that the magic happens. I think the Buffalo Bills

310
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: are that team this year.

311
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh you just made Bills Nation shudder and terror as

312
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: they felt that way before, or anybody longer old enough

313
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: to know knows what I'm talking about.

314
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom.

315
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: Lovely quote of the day, wrapping up our series on

316
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: the law. This one from one Martin Luther King, Junior.

317
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: And this one could spawn a long, long discas well,

318
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: hell a book, multiple books. I submit that an individual

319
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust,

320
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order

321
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice,

322
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

323
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Interesting.

324
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, One notable aspect of that quote that's often left

325
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: out or glossed over, and our little college revolutionaries would

326
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: do well to remember this is King makes clear you've

327
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: got to suffer the consequences. That's part of the whole

328
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: standing up against injustice thing. If you stand up against

329
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: what you perceive to be injustice and then cry and whine.

330
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: You're hurting me, you're squeezing me too much.

331
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: Let me go back to class. I have a test tomorrow.

332
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: You're nothing, You're a coward. I wish we had time

333
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: for mailbag. Perhaps we'll sprinkle it in a little bit

334
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: later on, because we've got some great comments about all

335
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: sorts of stuff from the good folks. But we're up

336
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: against a hard break.

337
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: As we say in the Business Rock on Mark Alprin's

338
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: reporting today and is newsletter that I read every morning,

339
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: is the tide is turned on.

340
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: Hegzaff.

341
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: It's still, you know, like a coin flip, whether or

342
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: not he'll get through to be sec deaf, but the

343
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: tide has turned all the.

344
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Not a chance. Vibes that were happening earlier in the

345
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: week are gone away.

346
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: So it goes with high school gossip, and that's a

347
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: lot of belt Way, you know.

348
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Jabbering is absolutely armstrong and getty.

349
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: Usually because at the end of the year, our last show,

350
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: we do our Clips of the year and then we

351
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: name a clip of the year, and then we usually

352
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: have a top five or top ten or whatever clips

353
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: of the year, and then we vote what's the clip

354
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: of the year, and it's usually something funny or at

355
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: standing or whatever. I think things are getting weird and

356
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: getting weird fast from Elon was last year's clip of

357
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: the year.

358
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Things are getting weird and they getting weird fast. Which

359
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: is a good one.

360
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I this is like the most boring of

361
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: all time. But I think this should at least make

362
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: the finals.

363
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: This is a speaker of the freaking house Mike Johnson yesterday.

364
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 2: Government is too big, it does too many things, and

365
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: it does almost nothing well, and the taxpayers deserve better.

366
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: There you go. When's the last time somebody at that

367
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: level said that.

368
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: I'd like to hoist them up on my shoulders and

369
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: carry them off the field for just saying that, thanks

370
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: a start.

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: Is too big, it does too many things, and it

372
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: does almost nothing well, and.

373
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: The taxpayers deserve better. Show a hands who doesn't believe that? Right?

374
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Where am I? Where do I march? Who do I shoot? What?

375
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Can we start this revolution? Now? Who do I shoot? Wow?

376
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: You you started there?

377
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: Well?

378
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: That was that was That was the metaphorical, of course,

379
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: but the idea being, hey, let's have another revolution, a

380
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: revolution of and this is getting into the whole Doge mission.

381
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: Kim Stressel with a brilliant piece in the Wall Street Journal.

382
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: She's one of my favorite thinkers. I just I'll hit

383
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 3: you with part of it. But this is this is

384
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: like thirty thousand feet But that's important.

385
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: Be well.

386
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: I'll just shease far more eloquent than I am, so

387
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: I'll let her speak. In the wake of the Obama

388
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: IRS scandal, you remember that when all the conservative groups

389
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: were getting targeted and couldn't get their four to oh

390
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: one C three XYZ status. Remember tea party groups were

391
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: being discriminated against. A well meaning GOP congressman posed this question,

392
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: what rules might Congress enact to ensure that the tax

393
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: bureaucrats couldn't again harass civic minded Americans. It was the

394
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: classic political answer to a problem, more rules, and therefore

395
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 3: the entirely wrong one. When it comes to controlling the

396
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: ranks of bureaucrats, the biggest priority isn't reorganizing or even

397
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: cutting numbers. It's about destroying their mission, their power.

398
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Here's what she's talking about.

399
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: The IRS was able to target conservatives because its mission

400
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: is to police an insanely complex tax code, counting regulations

401
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: and guidelines that runs to an inconceivable sixteen million words,

402
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: it is. This provides some ninety thousand functionaries stunning discretion

403
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 3: to snoop, question, dispute, reinterpret, and penalize, while to end targeting,

404
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: create a flat income tax, eliminate the corporate tax, abolish

405
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: tax credits, simplify nonprofit rules, take away the mission, and

406
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: you take away both the power and the need for

407
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: most of that workforce. That's great, and I'd love to

408
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: dig more into this, but we've got to re envision

409
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: the relationship between government and the people.

410
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: Well, as you said yesterday, we're either going to do

411
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: this and this might be our last best chance, or

412
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: we're looking at France, Yeah, which whatever, they did dissolve

413
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: their government yesterday and they're trying to start over and

414
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: they can't call new elections because their constitution won't allowed,

415
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: and they're in a mess. And it's all about the

416
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: fact that they're broke, right, and anybody who proposed anything

417
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: to get them unbroke is immediately shouted down as balancing

418
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: the budget on the backs of I don't know, guys

419
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: in berets or whatever. It's the classic how dare you

420
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: ask me for more taxes or fewer services after you

421
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: have over provided or undertaxed for decades now, so France

422
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: is absolutely at that cliff now anyway, But then Kim

423
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: also gets into the reality of the thing.

424
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: What's she talking about?

425
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: Happy talk of mass firings is thrilling until one remembers

426
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: that most bureaucrats are there because of complex programs mandated

427
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 3: by Congress. Programs that don't simply disappear with pink slips.

428
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: Might shave dollars to fire half the employees at program X,

429
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 3: but it still leaves the other half to double down

430
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: on program ex mischief. For a sense of that threat,

431
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: consider a recent New York Times lament for the exhaustion

432
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: felt by bureaucrats. Quote it the prospect of a second

433
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 3: go around with Trump. They express anxieties about Trump priorities

434
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: that will clash with their own expert opinion. They dislike

435
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: any administration impeding the work on climate change, civil rights reforms,

436
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: and regulatory protections. The peace ends with the smug hope

437
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: that the bureaucracy is now so vast as to provide

438
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 3: it imperviousness. This is the arrogance and resistance the reformers

439
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: are up against.

440
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Anyway.

441
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Having said that, because I just love the vision of it.

442
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: Can we please stop thinking and it helps to be

443
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: a little older, I think, to come to the conclusion

444
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: that this is just clear obvious wisdom.

445
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: Can we please.

446
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: Stop thinking that something that has existed for twenty years

447
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: or twenty five or thirty or whatever.

448
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: Has always been and must always be.

449
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: It didn't exist before somebody decided it should exist. Should

450
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: it continue to exist? We get to make that decision.

451
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: Not everything created should be permanent. It's gonna be interesting

452
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: to watch because the guy that's driving the truck on

453
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: this has a hell of a messaging platform. That's Elon Musk. Yeah.

454
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Doge brother says, I'm calling them when I

455
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: spit it out correctly. The Doge brothers, Elon and Viveiq

456
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: have actually unleashed their six point top pursuits that they're

457
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: gonna go after.

458
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Here's what they're saying. We'll just touch on these briefly.

459
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Slash government spending. Okay, we've all been talking about that,

460
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: and you know.

461
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: Some of the particulars, you know, doing it through Congress,

462
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: abolishing the Education Department, maybe reining it in. So slashing

463
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: government spending two cut regulations, great idea, great, Oh.

464
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to play the stuff from Jeff Bezos,

465
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: who's huge on board with Trump and all excited about

466
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: how overregulated this country is and the Trump administration can

467
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: do something about it. He's got a lot of people

468
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: on his side that he didn't have before.

469
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: Right.

470
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 3: And then the bureaucratic world, which makes their living and

471
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: gets their power and their status from them their regulations

472
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 3: and enforcing them and loving fines and stuff like that.

473
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: They always come back with, Oh, so.

474
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 3: You want mercury in your water, You want no regulations whatsoever.

475
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: No, much like the IRS Code.

476
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: You've got millions and millions and millions and millions of

477
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: words of vast just layers of regulation that nobody can comprehend,

478
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: much less follow correctly.

479
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Hey, let's clear out the woods. It's like, you know,

480
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: you got to redo your landscaping once in a while.

481
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: If you got a nice house, you got to clear

482
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: it all out and replant it because it's become overgrown

483
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 3: and woody and ugly and stupid and nobody likes it anyway.

484
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 3: Reduce the federal workforce. Doge wants to shrink a workforce

485
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: more than two million federal employees, many of them civilians

486
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: working for the Defense Department. Let's give it a try

487
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 3: and remote work. They've suggested their effort will order the

488
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: federal workforce to return to the office five days a week,

489
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: which could lead to voluntary resignations across the workforce. It

490
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: certainly could. Let's talk about it, Let's try it. Here's

491
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: where it gets a little surprising. Eliminate daylight saving time changes.

492
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: That's part of DOGE.

493
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the six things they've identified.

494
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, is that to save money or they just

495
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: don't like it?

496
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: Well, they call it inefficient and annoying for many Americans.

497
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: I love that the Senate actually passed.

498
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 3: A bill a couple of years ago that would make

499
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: daylight saving time permanent.

500
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: But which see, that's the problem.

501
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: That approach would mean later sunsets and darker mornings in

502
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: the winter months, and there are a lot of scientists

503
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: that think that'd be really bad for you.

504
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: How about we try it once and that's what drives minutes.

505
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: Let's try it a long.

506
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: Time, Let's try it when and see what we winch

507
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: which one weave it one? Let's try it.

508
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem. It's a fifty to fifty country.

509
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Who are you yelling at? Pick one?

510
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: Because it's always a well what happens.

511
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: If just try one?

512
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: Let's leave it alone one time and see what we

513
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: all think. Right, give it a couple of years. We

514
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: all might think, oh, yeah, now I get it. That sucks,

515
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: or we might love it.

516
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. Jesus, nobody's gonna die.

517
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree with you, even as I was disagreeing,

518
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: just to point out that there's a split.

519
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, how about we try something.

520
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: This this terror at trying something different again. This crap

521
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: has not existed since Moses came down with the tablets.

522
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: A lot of it's just a.

523
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: Dopey government program that some jackass who got voted out

524
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: the next term game up with.

525
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: Let's just give it a.

526
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: Try, that's the answer. I should send this to Elon.

527
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: I'll tweet it at him. I'm sure he'll see it.

528
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: He's only got two hundred million followers, is present everything

529
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: as We'll try it once and see how we like it.

530
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: Like completely redo the tax code, go with flat tax

531
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: or whatever you know, whatever you call the fair tax,

532
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: any of those. Let's try it and have it written

533
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: in the law. We're gonna do it once and then

534
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: we'll have a vote see if people liked it or not,

535
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 2: and we'll and we'll go immediately back to the old

536
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: way if we decide we don't like it.

537
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: I love that.

538
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: And of course, when it came time to go back

539
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: to the old way, as we've pointed out many times,

540
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: the old way or the current way is so blatantly

541
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: petnantly insane, nobody would ever choose it if it wasn't

542
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 3: the status quo.

543
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: If you proposed it, people would put you in a

544
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: lunatic asylum.

545
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: And yet when anybody proposes something different, everybody's like, oh, heven,

546
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: should we probably shouldn't change.

547
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: We better not change. Something might happen.

548
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: Final of the half dozen or so priorities, scrutinize spending

549
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: on Biden's priorities. In particular, they're focused on the Biden

550
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: administration's moves to distribute money from a four hundred billion

551
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: dollars clean energy lending program inside the Energy Department, and

552
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: also the manufacturing grants to chip companies and that sort

553
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: of thing. They want to look at them, scrutinize them,

554
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: and make sure they make sense.

555
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: By the way, according to.

556
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: The government agency that keeps an eye on this sort

557
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: of stuff, Elon spent over a quarter of a billion

558
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: dollars backing Trump in his election. Court of a billion, wow,

559
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: which is of course nothing for him. But I mean,

560
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: that's that's.

561
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: All in Well, the the Democrats had a sock puppet

562
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 3: run and she and her minions raised you know, one

563
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: and a quarter billion or something like that. So there's

564
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of money sloshing around, obviously,

565
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: but from one individual that's crazy.

566
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, and there's there's reason to pause and

567
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: take a look at that, I suppose. But of course

568
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: because Trump won and Elond the devil because he backed him,

569
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: you know, obviously the media acts like it's a huge

570
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: scary deal. If it were Soro spending that kind of

571
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: money or somebody else all of Hollywood or whatever, and Kamala.

572
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: Had won, they wouldn't be as interested.

573
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, one thing I left out of

574
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: this Strassel piece and then I'll get off. It is

575
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: some She mentions that Vivek is really focusing on the

576
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: recent Supreme Court decision that tossed this side the Chevron deference,

577
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 3: which means the courts really they got to trust the bureaucrats.

578
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: The bureaucrats know how to interpret Congress, and Congress is

579
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: very vague law for their creation. So let's just get

580
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: out of the bureaucrat's way and let them run America.

581
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: And Vivek says, hey, that's an opening to look at

582
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: thousands and thousands of existing regulations and decide in the

583
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: executive branch. Hey, the Supreme Court, you've told us a

584
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: lot of this is scrutinizable. Let's scrutinize it. So He's right,

585
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: the door is open, let's make use of it. The

586
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: problem is, and then I said i'd shut up, Then

587
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: I'll actually shut up. The problem is, and this is

588
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: the real problem. The government meaning government employees. This is true, state, local,

589
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: and federal level. Is there are now in the exist

590
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: in such enormous numbers. They're an incredibly powerful lobbying group

591
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: of the government itself. The government is the most powerful

592
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: lobbyist of the government. Yeay, cripes, Madison is spinning in

593
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: his grave.

594
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: So one thing I want to talk about later.

595
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: I was up early late last night and I can't

596
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: believe that this has happened, and I'm saying it out loud.

597
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: I was up late last night watching Getting Philosophy on

598
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: Life from actor Jim Carrey. That is surprising on several levels.

599
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm not even a fan of his work and a

600
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: voice find him highly annoy him. Do you know anything

601
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: about his like real persona and his view of life

602
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: and everything like that freaking fascinating And I want to

603
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: talk about that later. Okay, Yeah, he's a real believer

604
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: in God. I think he's a Christian. But really interesting stuff.

605
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: It might be a good topic on a Friday, we

606
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: get too later.

607
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Among other things.

608
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: We got Katie's headlines coming up in just a few minutes.

609
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: I hope you can stay here. Well, it wasn't this song,

610
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: But on Fridays, I don't listen to news on the

611
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: way to work.

612
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I give myself a pass. And on the way to work,

613
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: I listen to music the way to work.

614
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: And I was listening to Genesis on the way to

615
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: work and thinking what has happened to me? But I

616
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: had the song throwing It All Away in my head,

617
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: which I really liked.

618
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: See only the Genesis song I actually like.

619
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: And I was jamming at my car and I thought, God,

620
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: I hope nobody hears me. I hope none of my friends.

621
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: I hope no woman hears me. Listening to Genesis really loud.

622
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: Some earlier work I find quite quite fine. You know,

623
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: the writing songs for Disney movies Phase was less compelling

624
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: to me.

625
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: But teach their own I say, there you go. Let's

626
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with

627
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Katie Green, Katie, what's up? Well?

628
