Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Anybody that knows anything about the intelligence world knows that one.
Speaker 2: We're going to strip it completely down because the only
Speaker 2: thing we need is the frame. The interior and the
Speaker 2: electronics on a standard seven four seven will never work
Speaker 2: for the Presidential Air Force one.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work.
Speaker 2: We have some air defense technology that doesn't come from Boeing.
Speaker 2: We have a lot of technology that's on there for
Speaker 2: the president to be connected, so it can be the
Speaker 2: White House in the air. No chance that anything inside
Speaker 2: that plane stays inside that plane.
Speaker 3: If they strip it completely down to the frame, is
Speaker 3: it then worth what it's worth? Is the big beautiful plane.
Speaker 3: I don't have any idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know either. What would be the point of
Speaker 1: accepting a shell from Cutter and Engines, I guess?
Speaker 3: But yeah, any okay, all right, here is a WTF story.
Speaker 3: Has WTF gone mainstream? I noticed the old guy on
Speaker 3: sixty minutes used to Sunday Night.
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Oh? Yeah, yeah? I think it
Speaker 1: has to a large extent apparently. Anyway, here's a WTF story.
Speaker 1: Do you see this?
Speaker 3: The kind of crazy people, how crazy people can get
Speaker 3: this Texas mom has been arrested. It looked like she
Speaker 3: was attempting to supply her middle schooler with guns, ammo
Speaker 3: and tactical gears so he could pull off a mass
Speaker 3: violence episode at his school.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, that is profoundly nuts. How insane is that?
Speaker 3: And I just saw the picture of her and she
Speaker 3: looks completely greatly.
Speaker 1: Wow. They call yeah the wh is fairly popular to
Speaker 1: your iPhone, for instance, will auto fill that if you like.
Speaker 1: My youngest Delaney, age twenty five, decided she was swearing
Speaker 1: too much, so uses heck in a lot. That's a
Speaker 1: heck in good time, right.
Speaker 3: Trying to bring my kids down a little bit in there,
Speaker 3: cursing my high schooler, particularly him and his friends.
Speaker 1: It's just you know how it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: which is fun. I have it. It's a crutch. We
Speaker 1: all have them. But I have friends who cannot express
Speaker 1: to you the time of day without an F bomb.
Speaker 3: I think it's a I'm looking at it as a
Speaker 3: practicing code switching. I know you and your high school
Speaker 3: buddies talk like that so did mine. It's part of
Speaker 3: a we're grown up or we're bonding or whatever you
Speaker 3: got to do as a teenager.
Speaker 1: We're dangerous, yes, but you have.
Speaker 3: To have that switch in your brain, that code switches
Speaker 3: so that you don't talk the same way at the
Speaker 3: dinner table.
Speaker 1: And right right, speaking of which I think you're absolutely right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I you know, it's funny. Especially earlier in our careers,
Speaker 1: friends and even family would ask, how do you remember
Speaker 1: not to swear on the air? I mean, because that
Speaker 1: would be very bad, And I always said the same way,
Speaker 1: I remember not to drop an F bomb and from
Speaker 1: my grandmother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or culture with your boss, depending on your boss
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's actually remarkably easy, although I still, you know,
Speaker 1: will die on the Hill of bs ought to be
Speaker 1: able to be set on the air, and some people have.
Speaker 1: I think I think I mus don iMOS did a
Speaker 1: handful of times, at least in New York.
Speaker 3: You're gonna scream bulls at the top of your lungs
Speaker 3: when you die, like Mel Gibson in Brave Art. You
Speaker 3: want to say it so badly out loud, it'll be
Speaker 3: my rosebud.
Speaker 1: If you're a fan of classics, cinema. Yeah, bulls kind
Speaker 1: of overrated movies. It's a perfect yeah, I tell you what,
Speaker 1: it's a perfect word. I love it. Anyway. What were
Speaker 1: you talking about? Oh, I've got a couple of technology
Speaker 1: studies a story speaking of code switching. You know, I
Speaker 1: spent hours and hours yesterday deciding where Judy and I
Speaker 1: are going to stay in London when we go to
Speaker 1: London in August. Airb and be in it, which is
Speaker 1: my preference. I'm not going to spend seven eight days
Speaker 1: in a hotel room. I just and I know I'll
Speaker 1: be out and about, but I like to find a
Speaker 1: living room, a little kitchen in a little bedroom.
Speaker 3: And European hotel rooms are so freaking tiny, right, ridiculous?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know I can afford a bit of
Speaker 1: an airbnb with's a living room, as I said, So
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it anyway. But committee, hello, committing
Speaker 1: to which one? I found so stressful? What do you
Speaker 1: got going around and around and around? What's that? What
Speaker 1: if you got it wrong? What would happen? You can
Speaker 1: get you killed in your sleeper quoter? Now it'd be
Speaker 1: maybe a little noisier than the other one, or it's
Speaker 1: just five blocks to walk to Buckingham Parish instead of
Speaker 1: three blocks or whatever, and I just I found it
Speaker 1: too stressful. But anyway, I finally pulled the trigger and
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. But speaking of technology, yet another
Speaker 1: one of these Do they run this quarterly? Is it
Speaker 1: some sort of requirement warning issue to anyone using this
Speaker 1: smiley face emoji to older people, not gen Z. A
Speaker 1: smile face means you're conveying that you're happy. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: gen Z he takes this grinning face to convey sarcasm
Speaker 1: or irony. And then it has the inevitable twenty three
Speaker 1: year old employee who says, at first I thought my
Speaker 1: coarchers were being called and sarcastic to me, and then
Speaker 1: I realized when they said a thumbs up, they really
Speaker 1: mean thumbs up because he is a sarcastically and the
Speaker 1: tone of the article is always therefore, you're you. Older
Speaker 1: people really ought to be careful in a finger and out.
Speaker 1: They should switch to the way we do it as
Speaker 1: opposed the other way around. Yes, I would say to
Speaker 1: Hovey's at BESHI, twenty one year old intern, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I run this place. I own this place. People like
Speaker 1: me run the world. So you figured out.
Speaker 3: My son sends me the emoji with the tears streaming
Speaker 3: down the face. Yes, at what seemed to me inappropriate times,
Speaker 3: So it clearly means something different to him as a.
Speaker 1: Is he a sophomore or a freshman? This is early
Speaker 1: high school. Did he seem to go to high school
Speaker 1: last year? I don't remember.
Speaker 3: I think he's a freshman anyway, the ass weapon cause
Speaker 3: he's a freshman in high school. It seems to mean
Speaker 3: something different to freshmen in high school than all the
Speaker 3: other adults who ever send me the emoji with tears
Speaker 3: streaming down the face.
Speaker 1: Yes, kay, Katie, you're not old and bitter. Well, don't
Speaker 1: go that better.
Speaker 4: But several of my young her friends send me that,
Speaker 4: which usually would mean like you're crying legitimately, like you were.
Speaker 3: Really touched by something, or you know my dog just died,
Speaker 3: or I heard about your mom or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it means something's hilarious now, like you're crying you're laughing.
Speaker 3: Song Okay, that's what I kind of picked up on.
Speaker 3: I thought this is highly inappropriate. Does this mean you're laughing?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I cracked. You have a laughing till you're crying, right.
Speaker 5: They do. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I cracked a joke to one of my girlfriends and
Speaker 4: I sent her that and she sent me one of
Speaker 4: those back, and I was like, did something just happen?
Speaker 1: What's wrong?
Speaker 3: Like, that's exactly that what I have. And I thought, oh, geez,
Speaker 3: I hurt somebody's feelings.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exact same thing came over me. I was like,
Speaker 5: what did I do? No, that's just their laughing face.
Speaker 1: Now are were talking about the tears streaming down? Yeah? See,
Speaker 1: we used that in my family a lot. Like I
Speaker 1: didn't get the wordle so really upset.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're you're, you're, you're, you're being sarcastic about
Speaker 3: how upset you are. Yes, exaggerating, but it's kind of
Speaker 3: the opposite meaning for my son. Okay, now I get it.
Speaker 3: I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying even though they've got
Speaker 3: one of those already.
Speaker 1: My favorite texting story of all time, and it will
Speaker 1: be for the rest of my life, was the woman
Speaker 1: who said, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you.
Speaker 1: My mom just passed away, and her friend replied, lol,
Speaker 1: thinking it meant lots of love to me. They no
Speaker 1: longer speak and I'm l olling now is the ironic
Speaker 1: concluded I'm sorry anyway. So to get like this, I
Speaker 1: feel like lol is.
Speaker 3: Like charity laugh or you know what is that term
Speaker 3: where you you laugh, you know somebody sympathy sympathy laugh
Speaker 3: at this point and I and then I don't know
Speaker 3: how to respond with a that actually is freaking funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah I will. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I usually write out because I don't use emoji's because
Speaker 3: I'm a grown up. I usually write out. I actually
Speaker 3: laughed out loud at that. That was very like that much.
Speaker 3: If it's something really.
Speaker 4: Long tedious, you're such a boomer, or you just send
Speaker 4: the word funny with zero punctuations, so you can't tell
Speaker 4: if you're being serious or not.
Speaker 1: I have done that. I will frequently respond ha, because
Speaker 1: I was laughing lots of oz. Yeah. So, but there's
Speaker 1: more linguists studying emojis emoji, I think I'm supposed to say,
Speaker 1: I'm not Japanese all right. Have also pointed out that
Speaker 1: the symbols new meetings can often emerge from slang that
Speaker 1: older users might not be aware of. For example, older
Speaker 1: social media users might see the skull emoji as a
Speaker 1: literal symbol of death or a sign that someone is
Speaker 1: figuratively dead, isn't dead, tired or dead to me whatever.
Speaker 1: But for the younger users, the skull is used to
Speaker 1: say I'm dead, which means that they found something hilarious
Speaker 1: and have died laughing.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, the skull is that was really funny. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna hit somebody.
Speaker 1: I can. I can think of people i'd hit with
Speaker 1: that today would be very confused, while the spark emoji
Speaker 1: is frequently someone being sarcastic about how something, how good
Speaker 1: something is, and too much sarcasm. But here's the part
Speaker 1: I found really interesting. So I like, I send to like.
Speaker 3: If somebody says, hey, I got that promotion at work,
Speaker 3: I respond with an eggplant and then sprays of water.
Speaker 1: Is that the proper thing? Good lord? Yes, yes, do that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's perfect. Oh my god. Or if you give a
Speaker 1: thumbs up and a sparkle, they'll think you're mocking them,
Speaker 1: which is again, we run the world. We old people
Speaker 1: run the world. You adapt us. But is your youngster
Speaker 1: texting about cannabis, for instance, sometimes known as pot or marijuana,
Speaker 1: the shamrock, the leaf, the maple leaf, the lemon, the grape,
Speaker 1: the watermelon, the strawberry, the cherry, the pineapple, the dog face,
Speaker 1: the candy, the cake, the ice cream cone, and the
Speaker 1: cookie can all be references to cannabis.
Speaker 3: Because I understand it. The egg plant is the traditional
Speaker 3: vegetable of success, and so if somebody has some good news.
Speaker 5: Keep believing that jack and use it frequently.
Speaker 1: Jack. These emoji can be references to cocaine, a rocket ship,
Speaker 1: a fish, a gas pump, a snowman or a snowflake.
Speaker 1: They're all sorts of drugs. Uh sexting. The peach which
Speaker 1: looks like God forgive me a woman's hind end, or
Speaker 1: the eggplant, the water you mentioned, or cherries. Let's see.
Speaker 4: I was embarrassingly baffled the other day when I got
Speaker 4: a text message from a friend that said kiss my
Speaker 4: and then there was a peach emoji, and I'm going, this,
Speaker 4: my peach, What do you mean?
Speaker 3: I said, somebody with a cherries tattoo on them? What
Speaker 3: does that mean?
Speaker 1: You, Katie? Is that a girl? What's that mean? A
Speaker 1: woman's cherry?
Speaker 5: Cherries were trendy.
Speaker 4: Late nineties early two thousands, but I don't know if
Speaker 4: that is meaning.
Speaker 1: What was the message, delicious fruit? It was just a
Speaker 1: cute package.
Speaker 3: Okay, so okay, it didn't mean anything. All right, that's fine,
Speaker 3: doesn't need to.
Speaker 1: We're looking it up. Oh.
Speaker 4: Often associated with sensuality, feminine power, innocence, and use.
Speaker 1: Okay. According to an Instagram post, that's a stupid tattoo.
Speaker 1: Don't get that and if you haven't, get it removed?
Speaker 1: Coming up? Jack in a story related to the bullspit train,
Speaker 1: the incredible theft that we were talking about earlier today.
Speaker 1: If you didn't hear it, grab our three armstrong you
Speaker 1: getty on demand from today? How did trial attorneys factor
Speaker 1: into that? They're a huge factor. Nobody ever talks about this.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started. He's going to get us started,
Speaker 1: all of us. Stay tuned art.
Speaker 6: Today was former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski's thirty sixth birthday.
Speaker 6: I can't believe you remembered sent his friends to him.
Speaker 1: He's a probably guy h man And I didn't like that.
Speaker 1: You just point in the joke. Would you like another one? Yes? Well.
Speaker 6: Speaking at the Saudi US investment for him this week,
Speaker 6: Elon Musk said that the goal of his artificial intelligence
Speaker 6: company XAI is to answer questions like, quote, where is
Speaker 6: a universe going. Though for most people who use AI,
Speaker 6: they to ask questions like what if a giraffe had boobs?
Speaker 1: Silly questions. In other words, yes, yes, I would agree. Boy.
Speaker 1: I've continued to just love using chat GPT planning a
Speaker 1: trip and just it's just so much better than what
Speaker 1: came before it. Anyway, if you have a favorite, I
Speaker 1: respect that too. I would like to get into groc Friends,
Speaker 1: which comes via the Twitter machine, among others. So we've
Speaker 1: been talking on and off today about the bullspit Train
Speaker 1: in cal Unicornia, which is one of the greatest thefts
Speaker 1: of taxpayer dollars in the history of the universe and
Speaker 1: one of the great failures of democracy and one thing
Speaker 1: that people don't talk about. And I'm not sure why exactly.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a little less sooteric, little dry. Is
Speaker 1: the incredible power trial lawyers have in California in particular
Speaker 1: wherever Democrats hold sway. In short, but the bullspit Train
Speaker 1: has been the Enriching Lawyers Act of whenever it passed.
Speaker 1: In that there are so many eminent domain cases and
Speaker 1: where the government takes your property but has to compensate
Speaker 1: you fairly. Between eminent domain and real environmental suits and
Speaker 1: fake environmental suits, and labor disputes, and you know a
Speaker 1: dozen other things I can't think of. It has been
Speaker 1: an incredible, just fire hose of money to trial attorneys.
Speaker 1: Came across this from Caleb BArch in The National Review.
Speaker 1: Due to the beneficial relationship try lawyers and their packs
Speaker 1: share with democratic causes, most try lawsuits only back progressive issues.
Speaker 1: Major trial lawyer packs have spent twenty nine million dollars
Speaker 1: in the last eight years, twenty nine million dollars on
Speaker 1: political action committees and that sort of thing, ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of it to support Democratic candidates and committees. Since
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, ninety nine percent. The consumer advocacy group Alliance
Speaker 1: for Consumers revealed and report released Wednesday, AFC outlines the
Speaker 1: web of federal political action committees funded by major trial lawyers,
Speaker 1: including they name a bunch that if you've not heard
Speaker 1: of them, you haven't heard of them all together. Since
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, these packs have put more than ten million
Speaker 1: dollars towards supporting Democratic candidates for the Senate, around eight
Speaker 1: million more towards supporting Democratic candidates for the House, and
Speaker 1: substantial sums to support other major progressive entities, and most
Speaker 1: try lawyers supporting Democratic candidates and causes enjoy a positive
Speaker 1: feedback loop. More regulations mean more tender for lucrative lawsuits,
Speaker 1: and more Democrats in power mean more public contracts to
Speaker 1: represent plaintiffs and said lucrative lawsuits.
Speaker 3: I don't know why this fits in also, but as
Speaker 3: a guy who's dealt with divorce laws in California, the
Speaker 3: lawyers get together and write laws to where you have
Speaker 3: to have lawyers to do things to get divorced, so
Speaker 3: you have to hire more lawyers, and that seems to
Speaker 3: happen more in blue states.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure people in the know could come up
Speaker 1: with twenty different examples. But like the death penalty in California,
Speaker 1: we still give the death penalty, but we never execute anybody,
Speaker 1: So you get all the expense which goes to the
Speaker 1: lawyers of a death penalty trial, and then all the
Speaker 1: appeals and the rest of it's all designed to enrich them. Fantastic.
Speaker 1: Well that's a happy note. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty got a possible explanation for why Sean P.
Speaker 3: Didy Combs is the guy he is. We've learned in
Speaker 3: a courtroom today trying to decide how to discuss this
Speaker 3: on the air bit. But before we get to that,
Speaker 3: so I am going to read at least some of
Speaker 3: that new Jake Tapper book about the Biden presidency that
Speaker 3: I unfortunately already paid for months ago before I decided
Speaker 3: that I'm angry at Jake Tapper for lying to us
Speaker 3: all these years.
Speaker 1: Boy, and you're not a drunk, so you can't even
Speaker 1: plead drunk purchase.
Speaker 3: Well, I just thought it would be good for the show.
Speaker 3: I thought, man, there's gonna be stuff in there, and
Speaker 3: it still might be. For instance, I've got one for
Speaker 3: you here just a minute. But well, let's start with this.
Speaker 3: This is Jake Tapper finally copping to the fact that
Speaker 3: maybe he didn't go as far as he should have
Speaker 3: and trying to dig into the president's mental health.
Speaker 7: I think some of the criticism is fair, to be
Speaker 7: honest of me, certainly, I'm not going to speak for
Speaker 7: anybody else, but knowing then what I know now, I
Speaker 7: look back at my coverage during the Biden years, and
Speaker 7: I did cover some of these issues, but not enough.
Speaker 7: I look back on it with humility.
Speaker 3: Molly Hemingway tweets out that Jake Tapper hired a crisis
Speaker 3: PR group that has repped Elizabeth Holmes, Jeffrey Tuban, Anthony Wieners,
Speaker 3: and others to teach him how to be nicer to
Speaker 3: his critics during this thing. So they apparently, he and
Speaker 3: the publisher apparently believe they're in such a bad spot
Speaker 3: with the whole The British are coming, the British coming. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're already here. What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: Everybody's been talking about this for months. You don't get
Speaker 1: to be Paul Revere on this, all right? Well, and
Speaker 1: not only was he not Paul Revere, I mean he
Speaker 1: was like King George. He would I should have covered
Speaker 1: it more. Uh No, you forcefully defended the opposite point
Speaker 1: of view and belittled people who are trying to speak
Speaker 1: the plain truth. Right, So yeah, I get it. So
Speaker 1: they've gone from thinking, oh, this is going to be
Speaker 1: an exciting book of revelations that will be praised on
Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle, now realizing, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we're a punchline to some people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll be interested to see how it lands
Speaker 3: when it comes out next week. It's possible it doesn't
Speaker 3: make much noise when it comes out next week because
Speaker 3: all the talking. But for instance, I'm a big fan
Speaker 3: of Jonah Goldberger the Dispatch, though I do think he
Speaker 3: actually has Trump derangement syndrome, which he would yell at
Speaker 3: me for. He wrote a long piece yesterday about how
Speaker 3: I think Jake Tapper's being unfairly attacked, and Jake Tapper
Speaker 3: did a good job of blah blah blah and this
Speaker 3: and that and whatever. You work at CNN and you
Speaker 3: guys are friends. Fine, yeah, fine. Jonah might be the
Speaker 3: classic example of somebody I think is extremely bright, and
Speaker 3: when I agree with them, I agree wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1: But at least thirty to forty percent of the time,
Speaker 1: I think he's a just I almost use an unfortunate term.
Speaker 1: I think he is misguided.
Speaker 3: Wow, you really think in all those interviews where he
Speaker 3: would tepidly bring up a poll number shows many voters
Speaker 3: don't think Joe Biden should be president again, and then
Speaker 3: he credits that for really challenging the White House, he
Speaker 3: would take their spin at face value and move on.
Speaker 3: When everybody in America was looking at Joe Biden on
Speaker 3: a daily basis and saying that guy should not be president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Jonah needs to maybe leave the elite
Speaker 1: intellectual circles he's been running in for a lifetime and
Speaker 1: maybe hang out with some people whose hands get dirty
Speaker 1: at work for ten minutes. I think that would help.
Speaker 3: Them any Jonah did say that he had read the
Speaker 3: first five chapters of the book and it's really interesting,
Speaker 3: and I thought, okay, gool, maybe there is interesting stuff
Speaker 3: in there, like this that came out yesterday from the
Speaker 3: Jake Tapper book about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Some members of Biden's cabinet didn't.
Speaker 3: Believe he could be relied on to perform at two
Speaker 3: am during an emergency in the final year of his presidency,
Speaker 3: and that their access to him had dropped off considerably. Now,
Speaker 3: I gotta believe that's some of the more major secretaries
Speaker 3: that count, because I doubt some of the minor secretaries
Speaker 3: had much access to him. Ever, so for it to
Speaker 3: drop off considerably, that means you once had considerable contact.
Speaker 3: So I I just wonder if it's not like some
Speaker 3: of your you know, your secretaries of State, you know,
Speaker 3: your secretary's of Defense, that sort of thing, that maybe
Speaker 3: their access dropped off quite a bit. And thought I
Speaker 3: don't know if he could handle an emergency if he
Speaker 3: shows up. And as you pointed out earlier, two am,
Speaker 3: how about noon on any given day, based on the
Speaker 3: way he sometimes was, and all the times they canceled meetings,
Speaker 3: That's what Mark Alpern was talking about. Said, all the
Speaker 3: times that they would just out of nowhere counsel a
Speaker 3: meeting that he was supposed to have it one in
Speaker 3: the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Why do you think that was? Yeah, yeah, well there was.
Speaker 1: There is no question that he was. Biden was completely
Speaker 1: hidden from anybody but the inner circle, the inner inner
Speaker 1: circle by the end.
Speaker 3: And so mentioned this earlier in the show, I'm trying
Speaker 3: to change my I wish America would change their their
Speaker 3: thinking on this from I'm angry at Jake Tapper to hey,
Speaker 3: secretary of State or sect deaf or whoever the heck
Speaker 3: you secretaries were. Didn't you need to come and tell
Speaker 3: us if you didn't think the president of the United
Speaker 3: States could handle a crisis, shouldn't you be telling this this?
Speaker 3: You kept it a secret so you could stay in
Speaker 3: your job, maybe maybe for a whole nother term.
Speaker 1: If he won, which yeah, there's a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot of that. Of course, dang it. There had to
Speaker 1: be times.
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody ever admitted out loud, there
Speaker 3: had to be times where the Secretary of State Anthony
Speaker 3: Blincoln thought, if China fired on Taiwan right now, I
Speaker 3: would have to make the decision.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I'm sure he'd thought that because I can't
Speaker 1: talk to the president well, and let's face it, not
Speaker 1: to get off the topic, but Biden is a wishy washy.
Speaker 1: We better not equivocator back when he was sharp, right,
Speaker 1: so you know. And then one of you good brilliant
Speaker 1: folks pointed out via text, I think it was that,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the cabinet looked at the alternative Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris and her in her circle and thought, we're better
Speaker 1: off with Biden when he's cogent and his circle of
Speaker 1: advisors than that moron and her her half with team.
Speaker 1: Who is his sec deaf? For some reason, that out
Speaker 1: of my head, right, Lincoln, Oh sect deaf? I'm sorry? Uh,
Speaker 1: who's Biden's Secretary defense? Shouting it at the radio? Lloyd Austin?
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, I'll bet Blincoln and Austin thought, if
Speaker 3: we have to will handle it.
Speaker 1: It would be better us than whoever Comma chooses. Lloyd,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him for a week and a half.
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea where he is? No, I don't.
Speaker 1: I thought you did, Austin and.
Speaker 3: In his very low voice, oh incredibly, Okay, here's a
Speaker 3: p Diddy update, Katie. Do you have the details on this?
Speaker 3: Hanson said it during the commercials. Joe hasn't heard this yet.
Speaker 3: Where did this? Where did this come from? This come
Speaker 3: from a different trial? Where'd you say it came from Hanson?
Speaker 5: He won't, Tom, it's there.
Speaker 4: There was a separate case that involved another woman that
Speaker 4: he had had sexual relations with.
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's the story. I'll relay it as you were,
Speaker 3: as you told it to me in uh. In a
Speaker 3: different case, this woman had testified that when Sean Combs
Speaker 3: was forcing himself upon her, she became aware of how
Speaker 3: tiny he was and thought, oh good, at least it
Speaker 3: won't physically damage me that much, which might be And
Speaker 3: I'm not just saying this for selacious reasons. People are
Speaker 3: immediately thinking, would she describe it as a Tutsi role?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what really set him off when she called
Speaker 4: it a Tutsi role, that.
Speaker 3: That might be where the psychology comes from of how
Speaker 3: he has to be this incredibly dominant and abusive to women.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, the tutsi roll doctrine wasn't Weinstein in the
Speaker 1: similar situation, Michael, does that sound familiar?
Speaker 3: Yes? I God, that's disgusting and maybe somewhat understandable, but no,
Speaker 3: get over it or something.
Speaker 1: To understand something is not to condone it. Yeah wow, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: So that's why he had to be the dominant sex
Speaker 1: god ringmaster make up for the his tutsi roll them situation? Katie,
Speaker 1: Why is your microphone off right now?
Speaker 5: Because what am I supposed to say to your tutsi roldrom?
Speaker 4: Hey guys, if you ever think you're having a bad day,
Speaker 4: you can always look back and go Nobody has ever
Speaker 4: called me a tutsi role.
Speaker 1: You don't know that. You don't know that. Yeah wow,
Speaker 1: I almost said something truly unfortunate. This is finally developed
Speaker 1: restraint late in life.
Speaker 3: Wow. Venturio's girlfriend, who's on the stand right now and
Speaker 3: being cross examined before we take a break, testified that
Speaker 3: she occasionally watched him have sex with other women, and
Speaker 3: that happened at least two or four times. That is
Speaker 3: his defense lawyers trying to make that argument that they're swingers.
Speaker 3: We go both directions, all kinds of different directions. It's
Speaker 3: just a bunch of adult swinging. That's not a crime.
Speaker 3: That's what they're trying to get to there.
Speaker 1: Right right. When it comes to the specifics of sex trafficking,
Speaker 1: that won't matter. But one other thing. And look, I'm
Speaker 1: not a professional obviously, defense attorney, but I've known them,
Speaker 1: I've studied them, I've read about them, and I've been
Speaker 1: on some juries. There are a certain number of jurors who,
Speaker 1: if you take the Russian propaganda approach, the ultimate goal
Speaker 1: of a lot of Soviet now Russian propaganda, a lot
Speaker 1: of it is to convince you of something in particular,
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is to make you feel
Speaker 1: like you have no idea what is true, and there's
Speaker 1: no way to figure it out, so you despair from
Speaker 1: keeping from seeking the truth. Well, some defense techniques in
Speaker 1: a trial is just to have the jurors so confused
Speaker 1: they think I got all sorts of doubts, never mind
Speaker 1: a reasonable baue. I don't know who to believe, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. I've lost track of who
Speaker 1: is force and who and what does sex trafficking mean?
Speaker 3: And again right then you throw in a dash of
Speaker 3: she got twenty million dollars, and I think you could
Speaker 3: say whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's impossible to do for a variety of reasons,
Speaker 1: ethical and practical. But I wish there was some sort
Speaker 1: of authoritative book. Maybe there is, come to think of it,
Speaker 1: I'll bet there is. I'm sorry, I'm just having a
Speaker 1: conversation with myself. But the question watching that, the question
Speaker 1: of why jurors vote to a quit for bad reasons.
Speaker 1: I would like to see some sort of statistical study
Speaker 1: on like ten to two juries, for instance, nine to three,
Speaker 1: or even more overwhelming ten to two to eleven to
Speaker 1: one reasons. Is it like the Twelve Angry Men one
Speaker 1: brave iconoclast Gregory Peck? I think standing up for real
Speaker 1: justices he season.
Speaker 3: I seldom think that's probably what's going on there. It's
Speaker 3: the one everybody's like slapping their forehead. What do you
Speaker 3: mean you still don't feel like they're guilty?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Or is it soft heads unable to think critically
Speaker 1: who are swayed by the defense attorney just confusing.
Speaker 3: Something eyes It makes me think he couldn't do that
Speaker 3: sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Ah right, Yeah, I was the one jury I was on.
Speaker 1: There was one woman who was just a nice young
Speaker 1: gal in her twenties, but I felt for her because
Speaker 1: life is always going to be hard. She was just dumb.
Speaker 1: She was really not smart. There was one gal who's
Speaker 1: a bit of a half wit who had these weird
Speaker 1: beliefs that she would speak in the jury room and
Speaker 1: we'd all be like looking at each other, like I
Speaker 1: don't even know how to begin arguing with that.
Speaker 3: His ring fingers longer and his index finger and those
Speaker 3: people tend not to be rapist, so.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that, stuff like that. And then there are
Speaker 1: one gal who just was so devoid of life experience.
Speaker 1: She you know, I won't get into the details. I've
Speaker 1: told the stories before, but and that was on a
Speaker 1: single jury. I think twenty five percent of the jury
Speaker 1: was It was like leading a sheep to the trough
Speaker 1: to what a sheep eat. I don't even know sheeap food. Clearly,
Speaker 1: trying to get them to a reasonable verdict was like
Speaker 1: trying to herd.
Speaker 3: Cattle, very much like leading his sheep to the trough,
Speaker 3: the old sheep trough.
Speaker 1: We finished strong.
Speaker 3: Next time, I just came across this. I don't know
Speaker 3: what CBS News reporter, but I just saw this CBS
Speaker 3: News reporter says Wall Street Journals twenty twenty four report
Speaker 3: on Biden's decline should have won the Pulitzer Prize. Remember
Speaker 3: when the Wall Street Journal did that big piece he
Speaker 3: got just got swammed. I think that's the one where
Speaker 3: Joe Scarborough lost his mind and.
Speaker 8: Said a few if you don't think this is the
Speaker 8: best version of you know, I think that was over
Speaker 8: the Wall Street Journal thing, and this CBS reporter I'll
Speaker 8: have to dig up who that actually was, says the
Speaker 8: Wall Street Journal should have won the Pulitzer for that.
Speaker 1: Why because they said what should have been obvious. But anyway,
Speaker 1: well they broke from the cowardly cowardly pack. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: doesn't seem that admirable to me.
Speaker 3: No, I think I have time to properly describe this.
Speaker 3: Maybe by tomorrow we'll have the oral arguments in from
Speaker 3: today's Supreme Court dust up over not just birthright citizenship
Speaker 3: that's the topic, but this system we've got where one
Speaker 3: judge can hold everything up.
Speaker 1: Is that working force or not? Yeah? I read a
Speaker 1: blow by blow description and it was about three quarters
Speaker 1: the way through the oral arguments. The reporter said, they've
Speaker 1: only touched on the birthright citizenship thing in past, so
Speaker 1: it's the big issue. Yeah, the issue is can a
Speaker 1: single federal judge issue of nationwide injunction anytime they want?
Speaker 3: Well, Tim Sander for our friend, he said, the arguments
Speaker 3: against this system typically boiled down to let the government
Speaker 3: keep acting illegally until the Supreme Court rules.
Speaker 1: And he said that's just not a good idea. That
Speaker 1: is where you'd be.
Speaker 3: And it takes a long time, as we all know,
Speaker 3: for things to work their way up to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are levels of the judiciary between those, but
Speaker 1: I confess I'm curious to hear people learned, people suggest solutions.
