Speaker 3: Of the Armstrong and Getting Communications compound. And today to

8
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: kick off a brand new year, we're under the tutelage

9
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: of our general manager.

10
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Indeed, the new year is our general manager, the year

11
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: in which you reach your potential. So I was thinking

12
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: about saying that. Then I realized, what if you're a

13
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: bad person and your potential is like to become a

14
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: serial killer or something like that. I don't want you

15
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: to reach your potentially.

16
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: And change isn't always good. We're always talking about that,

17
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: just because you're gonna change. Like my brother's motto is

18
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: always new Year say me. But that's fine. He's a

19
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: good dude. But maybe change is a good thing. I'll

20
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: tell you my first thing for the new year. I

21
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: was walking toward the scale. I weigh myself every day.

22
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: This morning, the scales said, don't don't even get on. Yeah,

23
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: don't get on, dude, you have kids. What are you doing?

24
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: That's what the sci said to me. Don't even get on.

25
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Don't you step on me. It could be an assault.

26
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: I know the law.

27
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: And it was nice to be greeted at the radio

28
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: station by some of my friends. Crazy meth guy Hanson.

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: What's that dude doing to his cars? He swapping out

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: of transmission. I mean it's like a full automotive thing

31
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 3: going on, got wind it up in the air, all

32
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: four tires off, the clothes everywhere, parts everywhere.

33
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: Yes, Michael, maybe he can do an oil change for

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: me exactly as long as he's out there. Hey, could

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: you put new brick pads on my car during the show.

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome.

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: Here, I'll slip you a twenty. You're all tweaked up.

38
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: You can probably do it really fast. So it's nice

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: to see those people again. Huh, that's great.

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: I am aggressive policies of cal Unicorneya continue to bear

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: the delicious fruits that they have borne.

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: And I'll talk about this later. I spent a day

43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 3: in San Francisco, New Year, New Town. They've had enough

44
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: and they're doing some stuff about it, and it was noticeable.

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: I do want to talk about that.

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: Later.

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: I am happy to be at work for a little relaxation,

48
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: as I've been parenting two children every second for two

49
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: weeks and I am frazzled and worn out.

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: That is a tiring activity. Yeah, vacation from vacation, I

51
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: remember those days. Oh, yes, I am here. I have

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: control of my own little universe for a little bit. Here.

53
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, right and speaking for myself and my own

54
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: offspring and not yours. Of course, nobody at work is

55
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: allowed to be a complete jackass. I mean we have

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: there are rules and traditions involving not being an a hole. Yeah, everybody.

57
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Children sometimes act up a tat.

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: Everybody that works on this show has some reason to

59
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: act somewhat enthused about what we're doing, but teenagers do

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: not right right, Well, I'm constantly thinking, do you have

61
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: any idea what it cost to get here and see this?

62
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: What could you at least act like you're somewhat entertained

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: by this?

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. We enjoyed getting your text over vacation.

65
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: But was it Travis Kelsey's mentor somebody introduced into my

66
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: dome the idea of does a particular person add to

67
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: your energy? Or do they sap it right? And you

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: make decisions about who you want around you on that

69
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: basis well, and it is a blessing indeed to raise children,

70
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: one of the great, you know, experiences of anybody's life.

71
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: But for a few years it's like not even close.

72
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for my oldest teenager, there's no doubt that

73
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: he is sapping the energy rather than adding to it.

74
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: But I mean that's part of your gig when you're

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: his age and being her family. I'll talk about that later.

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: But we did what we call cousin Christmas. We all

77
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: got together in the Midwest. Four of those people aren't

78
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: coming to work today because of the snowstorm that hit.

79
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: They're still stuck there.

80
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: But seeing all my nieces who are on the other

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: side of being teenagers, who are just fantastically grown human

82
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: beings that are nice and normal in every way.

83
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Mm hmm your hair.

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: I left a day early, which turned out to be

85
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: a wise move, or I would still be in Kansas

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: where they got I was gonna fly out of Kansas

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: City yesterday. I would not hope they canceled every single flight,

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: but two feet of snow minus twelve with the windshill,

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's bad by that part of the

90
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: country standards.

91
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's just crazy both. I mean, that's a

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of snow for.

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: That bitterly cold a period gusts to fifty miles an

94
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 3: hour when it's freezing cold outside and snow.

95
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just crazy.

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: And that's why a lot of the country is is

97
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: frozen and stuck in. Lots of work canceled, and even Washington,

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: DC is canceled today they got everything closed.

99
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Good. Yeah, that's good. I mean, if we could have that,

100
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: have it more often, that'd be absolutely fantastic.

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: I on one hand, I wish my kids could have

102
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: seen a real crazy snowstorm, because they've never seen one

103
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: in their lives.

104
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: On the other hand, I would be I would be

105
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: stuck in the hotel we were in. Yeah, if I'd

106
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: had to fly solo today, I would have been unhappy,

107
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: very unhappy. I've got to ease back into the work thing.

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: You can't just dive in. That'd go one hundred percent.

109
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: You have a heart attack.

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: My niece just texted me today. She texted me, I

111
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: got it. When I got up, she said, I got

112
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: to the airport, I got up at three thirty. I

113
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: needed to be the airport at four thirty. But now

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: my flight's delayed till nine. I guess I'll just sit here.

115
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: Then she text me a little bit later, flight canceled,

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: so she going nowhere and my other niece drove to

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: Kansas City, tried to beat the snowstorm had turned to ice.

118
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: Ended up with her rental car up against a fire hydrant,

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: So that was a I don't know how that's turned out.

120
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: That adds to your trip.

121
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: The kind of soft rubbery fire hydrants are the metal

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: ones that do lots of tag, the normal metal ones.

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and travel around. I was in Washington, d C.

124
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 3: I have had lots to talk about being in Washington,

125
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: d C. And all the cool stuff that we saw.

126
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: I hadn't been there since Trump's inauguration. But security was

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: crazy because partially because they've got the certification today and

128
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: I don't know if the date January sixth, the rings

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: a bell. They make a big deal out of it,

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: so of security for that and also security for the

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: inauguration which is coming up on the twentieth, and they're

132
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: building the platform all around the Capitol and everything like that,

133
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: and we saw that. But we were there over New

134
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Year's Eve, and of course the next day after the

135
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: terrorist attack in New Orleans, security was insane in Washington,

136
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: d C.

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, it's a huge,

138
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: huge month in DC and there's murder in the air.

139
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, the teranoia is running hot.

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you couldn't even I don't know what prompted this,

141
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: but I was looking forward to showing my kids the

142
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: White House because it's a cool thing to see.

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: That's where the president lives.

144
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's in there, sleeping, you know, his last couple

145
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: of weeks as president, everything like that.

146
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: I remember I went to the inauguration for.

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: Trump the first time, and I remember walking by the

148
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: White House and thinking, while Barack Obama's sleeping in there

149
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: on his last night, I wonder what that feels like

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: and everything like that. You couldn't get close enough to

151
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: the White House to even see what it looked like

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: on it from any side.

153
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: There were so many walls. I know, it's awful.

154
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: There were so many walls and barriers and you had

155
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: to be so far out and I don't know if

156
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: they're prepared for a truck attack or I mean, this

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: was we got there before New Year's Eve, so this

158
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: was before New Orleans. We got there late at night,

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: but everything's lit up at night. Everything looks really cool

160
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: at night. We went out walking around at like midnight,

161
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: and I wanted to see the White House and you

162
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: couldn't get close enough to even see it at all.

163
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know what that is.

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: I know it not only was uncool from a tourist

165
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: standpoy to thought, it's just not good. It is not

166
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: good on many levels.

167
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've gone from now, granted this is a couple

168
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: hundred years or not quite, but from when Abe Lincoln

169
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: was president, people would wander in, wander in and out

170
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: and say he is the president in I kind of

171
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: need a job to now this armed camp society. It's

172
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: not good. It's not healthy. No not. I wonder if

173
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: a Michael, I need your judgment on this. I was

174
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: going to make a joke about how they've got to

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: change the carpets in the White House like you do

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: when you've got you're moving out and you had lots

177
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: of cats and the carpet sustained because you know, the

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: cat's here and everything with Joe Biden and old and

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: incontinent and that sort of thing. I had a joke

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: forming up in my mind. Too much or or appropriate.

181
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: If it makes chagrin, you leave it in. That's the

182
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: motto for twenty twenty five. All right, well, I'll keep

183
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: working on that.

184
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's in continent. Are you suggesting Joe Biden's peeing

185
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: on the carpets?

186
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, that was the I was heading.

187
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, we went to Ford's Theater and they did

188
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: talk about that. How when Lincoln was president on weekdays

189
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: you could walk up and knock on the door and

190
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: somebody would answer, and you might be able to go

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: in and talk to the president. You certainly could go

192
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: sit on the lawn anytime you onto. I was telling

193
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: my kids. With the big barrier around the US Capitol, now,

194
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: part of that is because they're building the infrastructure for

195
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: the inauguration, which is just what is sixteen days away,

196
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: the twenty fourteen days away. Part of that is that,

197
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: but you can't get as close to the Capitol. The

198
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: first time I went to Washington, DC, I walked up

199
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: to the Capitol and like wiped off the window and

200
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: peeked in all out of course and everything like that.

201
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: You could just peek in like it was somebody's house, right,

202
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: And it's not like that. I was eighteen seventy. And

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: what makes me insane is the utter lack of curiosity.

204
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: Or maybe it's just people or they are curious, but

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: they're completely befuddled. What has changed and why has it

206
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 2: changed about the United States of America and our culture

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: and our people or the people we've imported in some

208
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: cases all the security stuff, so there are.

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: Polls around everything in Washington, DC to stop the sort

210
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: of attack that happened in New Orleans. There'd be no

211
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: way to drive a truck or a car into a

212
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: building or a crowd or anything like that. But all

213
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: the different things that we've added, whether it's the stuff

214
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: at the airport, you can't see the White House or whatever,

215
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 3: that whole infrastructure just keeps growing and growing. And what

216
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: do we picture it being in fifty years or one

217
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: hundred years? And is that something anybody wants?

218
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: Again?

219
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: To your point, do you take a look at the

220
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: culture at some point and think that didn't used to

221
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: be this way?

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: What changed somewhat of its technology but not all of it?

223
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: No?

224
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: I think you know, if you're going to go for

225
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: one generalized explanation. It's just going from a culture that

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: values duty in community to one that values individual what

227
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: not individual, just the individual. And you know, I'm certainly

228
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: a crusader for individual rights, but it's just the inevitable.

229
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. Ripening and over ripening of a successful society,

230
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: I guess, but who knows? On we go. That's the

231
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: thing about fate, Jack, you never know what card you're

232
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: be about to be dealt.

233
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: Speaking of overripening, we're overriped for the first official start

234
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: of the year. I'm Jack Armstrong. You's Joe Getty on this.

235
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: It is Monday, January sixth.

236
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: It rings a bell.

237
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: I can't think of what is it might be Fillmore's birthday, something, dear,

238
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting we approve

239
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: of this program.

240
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Let's start officially for the

241
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: year according to FCC rules and regulation, which as far

242
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: as I know, still exists. Here we go at Mark

243
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: American Dream Possible. We will fight hard, fight hard for

244
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,359
Speaker 2: the freedom to vote.

245
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 3: I don't remember what ended up being the clip of

246
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: the year, but we were talking about uh I brought

247
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: up at the breakfast the other day when the Prime

248
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: Minister of Great Britain said, we need to release the sausages.

249
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 3: That's still funny, you know, it's still really good. We're

250
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: eating sausages. I said, hey, did you hear one of

251
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: the clips here? You got to return the sausages. Sorry, hostages.

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: How does the first mail bag of the new year look? Insightful? Fantastic?

253
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: That's on the way and our text line has not changed.

254
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: It is four one, five, two nine five KFTC.

255
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: The return of the sausage. There you go, Hostay.

256
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: The NFL playoffs are set for this coming weekend, wild

257
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: Card weekend, which a lot of football fans, which I

258
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: don't know if I count my own self one, but anyway,

259
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: I really really like. But I want to talk about

260
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: the NFL and it's its cultural hold on America as

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: I witnessed that coast to coast.

262
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: Excellent, looking forward to it. Here's your freedom loving quota

263
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: of today, reflecting on the new year from the great

264
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: thinker Seneca. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Yeah,

265
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: it's absolutely true, there's no denying it. I'm not sure

266
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: what to do with it. Well, it's that that which

267
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: is unproductive or or what have you has to end,

268
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: and that's okay. I don't know what is ending, though

269
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: no longer continuing certainly the words of Seneca always thought

270
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: provoking mailbag. Yeah, just a couple. We don't have time

271
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: to much. That's fine.

272
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's clearly true if you're talking about I

273
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: don't know, a marriage, or a company, or a country

274
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: or a whatever. But things don't end on calendar dates.

275
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: They don't.

276
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: They don't end at midnight on this number thirty first.

277
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: And yet this is the time of year when we

278
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: think of such things. Right, for some reason having to

279
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: do with the calendar which was arbitrarily institute one hundreds

280
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: of years ago. Right, Why not start out with a

281
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: great JT from Livermore, who points out a couple of

282
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: things about how the Democrats still haven't figured out why

283
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: the election happened the way it did. But then he

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: makes a point that I thought was really really good.

285
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Still as powerful as the DNC remains, I take comfort

286
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: in knowing that, at least for now, the shiny veneer

287
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: of the self proclaimed Party of Enlightenment has been ripped

288
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: off to expose the vast majority of the news media

289
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: as blindly loyalist, partisan hacks of the d NC the

290
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: trust quote unquote that the news media loss will not

291
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: be easy to establish, and he gets into how that

292
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: will affect the left side of the aisle going forward.

293
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: I think he is right. I think the last half

294
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four, well, post the Joe Biden debate debacle,

295
00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: I think the media's you know, kind of cold on

296
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: the trust of the American people was significantly damaged by

297
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: all of their dishonesty.

298
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I wouldn't. I wouldn't necessarily make it a

299
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: left or right thing.

300
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: I just.

301
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: That's the biggest change that has happened. Uh geez, I

302
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: don't know in decades. Probably we're into a new world

303
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: of where people get information and that effect everything, absolutely everything.

304
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: I think the mainstream media took its death blow, not

305
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: not you know, an immediate death blow, but sort of

306
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: you know, they died later of their injuries. Joe Rogan

307
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: is a bigger deal than whoever the hell the anchor

308
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: of the CBS.

309
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: News is not even close. Yeah, let's see. I love

310
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: this rich and beautiful green Oregon. Welcome back, big freedom

311
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: and an old simple jack. Hope you had a great

312
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: time off I did, indeed, I'll talk about that a

313
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: little bit. As a hog. I'm fat as a like

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: slimmish hog. Didn't do a ton of damage. Good for you.

315
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: One of President Biden's last acts giving George Soros the

316
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: Medal of Freedom. Are you king me? Do we now

317
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: think socialism means freedom? Yeah, that's a good point. That

318
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: got a lot of attention. We will talk about that.

319
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: And finally, a pronouncer from Evan in Canada, well, we

320
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: got a real goat roping up here in Canada. Liberal

321
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Party mountain of mutiny against their boy dust and dust

322
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: Bin Doo doo to try to get him gone a sap.

323
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: It's talking about Justin Trudeau. I think dust Bin do

324
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: do who's resigning today? Right, that's the rumor. Yeah. Meanwhile,

325
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: the Conservatives are on track to win about seventy percent

326
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: of the seats in Parliament. By the way, the last

327
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: name of the Conservative leader, Pierre, is best pronounced best

328
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: pronounced Poliev. For the record, the French like their silent

329
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: letters even more than English Poliev. Interesting to see a

330
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: rejection of woke from an entire country.

331
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: America's had Canada, and Trump has talked about being the

332
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: fifty first stage. So maybe we can get that going.

333
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: We have much talk about the things that are going

334
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: on in the world, things that happen in our own lives.

335
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: To catch up after being gone for two weeks, I

336
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: got a new water bottle. I retired my twenty twenty

337
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: four water bottle, which was getting pretty funky, and now

338
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: I'll brand new water bottle for twenty twenty five.

339
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about this plastic water bottle. I held

340
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: it up expected some big Stanley vic Dum compers.

341
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: I buy one water bottle out of the vending machine,

342
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 3: and then I use it the entire year where you're

343
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: filling it.

344
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: My god, you've got a new one, Armstrong and Getty.

345
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: The new warning from the CDC, The agency says flu

346
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: season is ramping up after a slower than usual start.

347
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: It says emergency room visits for the flu are quote

348
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: very high nationwide. States in the South and the West

349
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: are seeing the highest flu activity.

350
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: The CDC is.

351
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: Also reminding people it is not too late to get

352
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: a flu shot.

353
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: The good thing is so many of us traveled, a

354
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: record number of people travel around the countries. Who could

355
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: really spread all that stuff around, spend a lot of

356
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: time in an airport or a little tube in whether

357
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: it's a you know, a bus or a shuttle or whatever,

358
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: and then the plane and just really get to spread

359
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: around the country. My son is sick with something right now,

360
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: feeling absolutely horrible, and uh yeah, it's that time of year.

361
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 2: What are you going to do? Could be the flu, covid,

362
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: or there's some new virus that China's working on right now.

363
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: Probably leapt out of a lab. Sure, hopefully it's the

364
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: travel season. It reminds me of the chicken pox parties

365
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: they used to have when we were kids. To make sure,

366
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: just get it over with, Just get get it done with.

Speaker 2: That they're released over the weekend. Yeah, indeed, the Surgeon

00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: General out with a well, he's urging that the warning

396
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: be placed on every alcohol label that it can give

397
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: you cancer. As usual. The Vec Mercy is full of crap.

398
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: He's a Charlottean. The actual numbers someone analysis for you

399
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: next hour. And I say that not as a boozehound,

400
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: because I was really curious booze Well, let's let's call

401
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: a spade a spade. I was really curious to know

402
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: what the science was that had prompted such a change.

403
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: Well prepared to be underwhelmed, Okay, I haven't, but overwhelmed

404
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: with the stupidity of government. I have a friend who's

405
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: doing dry January.

406
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: And they showed up to some work thing over the

407
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 3: weekend that where everybody normally drinks and drinks with this person,

408
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: and they said they're doing dry January.

409
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: Now they're friends, Like, what have you? They're so angry. Yeah, well,

410
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm not committed to the months or anything. I just

411
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: say I'm gonna take a while reseat.

412
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 3: What does that mean if your friends are angry if

413
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: you do dry January?

414
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Is that good sign

415
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: or bad sign or no sign? Maybe it's no sign whatsoever.

416
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. Sure that's the one. It's not the

417
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: crabs in the bucket or anything like that.

418
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 3: So I was in Washington, d C. For several days

419
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: with my kids. We were going to drive to Kansas.

420
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: Had a problem with the Rendell car. Maybe I'll talk

421
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: about later.

422
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

423
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: I don't know what the word confirmation means in an email,

424
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: I said. I even said to the clerk, what is

425
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: the what is the dictionary definition of confirmation? What does

426
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: it mean in your head?

427
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: What do you mean? You don't have my vehicle?

428
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: I mean, why did I get this email saying to

429
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: come pick it up at seven o'clock? Anyway, so I

430
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: don't have my car. It was going to be a mess.

431
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out how to scram it. I

432
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: just said, maybe we'll go somewhere else, Maybe I don't

433
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: want to drive. I decided at midnight the night before

434
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: the kids are sound asleep, they're expecting a road trip

435
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: to Kansas. That were going to Washington, d C. Wow,

436
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: book the flights and we took off the next day.

437
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: And that's crazy. That's way to be spontaneous. That's why

438
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: I've always done things. That's not new for me. That's

439
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: why I do every trip of my life. So but

440
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: I know it's it's odd for most people anyway. So

441
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 3: we went to Washington, D C. And we were We

442
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: were there for several days, and I hadn't been there

443
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: since Trump's inauguration. The famous pictures of me dressed up

444
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: like a spy when I was had really good seats

445
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 3: for the inauguration January twentieth of twenty seventeen.

446
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I used to make the dot that he spent

447
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: the entire day with a red Secret Service dot on

448
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: his forehead, just in case, because he looked so suspicious.

449
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: But now, of course we know that he could have

450
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: climbed up on the Washington Monument with a giant banner

451
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: that said I'm here to assassinate the president and unloaded

452
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: a rifle.

453
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: That it would have been fine. But the big difference

454
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 3: this time around. For first of all, it's January sixth.

455
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: The idea that they're going to go in there and

456
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is going to certify Trump being president of

457
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: the United States on January sixth, eight years later, was

458
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: four years later. Four years later. Is absolutely amazing. I mean,

459
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: what a turn of history. It's absolutely incredible. But bouncing

460
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: around Washington, DC, all the Trump stuff, he's being treated

461
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: like any other president would be coming in, And that's

462
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 3: not the way it was when I was there for

463
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: the first Trump term. There was no Trump stuff in

464
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: my memory other than like you know, off market third

465
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: party swag you sell on the corner to the tourists,

466
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: But there was nothing in the official like if you

467
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: went into the.

468
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: National Archives.

469
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: We went and saw the Constitution and the Declaration and

470
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff, which is so faded at

471
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: this point. They could just put a blank, white piece

472
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: of paper in there and you wouldn't know the difference.

473
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: I don't think anyway, I just change it out with

474
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: various things written on there that are hilarious and or

475
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, Tawdrey, it'd be a funny, funny prank. But

476
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: it is. To me. It's incredibly moving to see the docuity.

477
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: The point is not to read them, Jack, you can

478
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: read them else. It's the actual duck. It's amazing. I agree,

479
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: very very cool.

480
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: But anyway, the store that they have there at the

481
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: National Archives where they keep all that stuff, had all

482
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 3: kinds of Trump stuff, you know, legitimate forty seventh president

483
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, and you could get a pin or a

484
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: hat or whatever. They did not have that stuff in

485
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen when I was there, because the whole country,

486
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: the whole country, people who were excited about Trump didn't

487
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: fill his way, but the entire media and half the

488
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 3: country felt like, well, this is a mistake. He's not

489
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: supposed to be president. The Russians did this, and he'll

490
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 3: be out in just a few days. I can't believe

491
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: we're actually pretending he's going to be president this time around.

492
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: He's being accepted completely, like it's you know, Jimmy Carter

493
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: coming into office, or or George Bush or anybody else.

494
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: And if I might interject worth remembering that one of

495
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: the reasons for that perception that he was a Russian

496
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: stooge that would soon be in Levenworth was because of

497
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: the Steele dossier and the Trump collusion hoax perpetrated by

498
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: the campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who got the Presidential

499
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Medal of Freedom just a few days ago, right, right, right.

500
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 3: Whatever, that's hilarious, whatever all that stuff's supposed to mean.

501
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: At this point, those medals of freedom a man, you know,

502
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: like everything else, I think it's gotten so watered down

503
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: it barely has any meaning. Right Anyway, I thought it

504
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: was interesting that Trump was being treated with such dignity.

505
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: Reverence is the wrong word, but respector or just treated

506
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: like any other president coming into office. Acceptance, acceptance, there's

507
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 3: a good word. That's a good word. And I'll be

508
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: interested to see what the crowd is like. I was

509
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 3: telling the kids. How as we're walking across them all

510
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff, how.

511
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: It was just full of people.

512
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: There's several hundred thousand people here and talking about what

513
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 3: it was like getting out of there. I'd never been

514
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: in a crowd that big in my entire life. And

515
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: when would you ever be in a crowd with two

516
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand people or whatever it was. I

517
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: wonder what the turnout's going to be like this time around,

518
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 3: since he's being accepted, as you.

519
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: Said, I suspect it will be enormous. I think it

520
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: will be too. I think the silent majority, if you will,

521
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: to pairphrase Nixon will show up in force, working class America,

522
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: those who feel abandoned by the elite, because they have

523
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: been abandoned by the elite, I think they will turn

524
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: out in force. I certainly hope.

525
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: So. One of the reasons I went to Washington, d C.

526
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: Is I was bouncing around on the map as my

527
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: other trip was falling apart and thinking where where is?

528
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: Where is good?

529
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: I thought, maybe go to Florida. Let's be warm, And

530
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: it just wasn't gonna be that warm in Florida. I

531
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: don't wanna fly allway there to be in sixty eight degrees.

532
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: That's not hot enough for me.

533
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: Just look around. And it was oddly going to be

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: nice in Washington, d C.

535
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: In December, and I thought, freaking awesome, I'll go because

536
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: it's the lowest tourism month of the year for DC.

537
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 3: Because there's a decent chance if you plan ahead, which

538
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: I never do for your trip, they're gonna get there

539
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be five degrees below zero and you're

540
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: gonna be miserable. So very few people go. And we

541
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: went and we're able. It was sixty and sixty and

542
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: sunny the first day we got there, and we're traveling

543
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: around all the museums and everything like that, and there

544
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: were practically empty.

545
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: So it was very very cool, best of both worlds. Yeah,

546
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm a huge believer in off season visiting of the

547
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: sort of place with an attraction. I mean, you don't

548
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: want to do it on a beach. You're lying there

549
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: shivering it's forty three degrees. No, that's not what I'm

550
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: talking about. But if it's like zoos and museums and

551
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, absolutely go in the off season.

552
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: I did not.

553
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: I did Miami in Key West in August one time,

554
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 3: and it was horribly hot, but there are no people,

555
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: and that was I was happy.

556
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: With the trade off. Interesting. Yeah, we were semi joking

557
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: about Ford's Theater, which you've visited, and how it's a

558
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: big tourist attraction. Yeah, and you know it's on the

559
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: one hand, you have people filing in and out and

560
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: buying souvenirs and taking smiling selfies there in front of

561
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: a place where a one of the greatest Americans to

562
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: ever live and a loving father had his brains blown

563
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: out right was on the other hand, Yeah, it was

564
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: the murder scene of an innocent man, but it does

565
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 2: make it very real in a way. It humanizes Lincoln.

566
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: To see the chair, to see the box, to see

567
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: the leap that John Wilkspooth made down the stage. I

568
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: found it very moved.

569
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 3: How many days, weeks, months, years have to go by

570
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: before something goes from here's a father and husband who

571
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 3: got murdered for no good reason to let's take a

572
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: selfie in a spot where they got shot.

573
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. The weird the weirdness of time, the way that works. Well,

574
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: it's like, how long does a body have to be

575
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: in the ground before you're not a ghoul. You're an archaeologist.

576
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: If you dig it up.

577
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 3: Right, right, If this person was buried last week and

578
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: you dig it up and open up their coffin, you're

579
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: a real weirdo.

580
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: Hey, look, I found an artifact from twenty twenty four.

581
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 2: It's several gold rings. No, no, that's not allowed.

582
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: But if it's five thousand years We were at the

583
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: Natural History Museum where they got a whole bunch of

584
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: Egyptian monies and they put it on display, and yeah,

585
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: you're some sort of superhero for finding them and open them.

586
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: That's pretty funny.

587
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: I had another point in the Lincoln A hotel, not

588
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: very crowded, walking around seeing the stuff.

589
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: I'll pop into my head later while you're thinking about that.

590
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: Not only are we going to talk about the alcohol thing,

591
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: but at some point today I want to go semi

592
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: big on the absolutely horrific story of the systematic cover

593
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: up of the systematic rape of young English girls by

594
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: primarily Pakistani immigrants in that country and how the authorities

595
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: and I've touched on this, We've talked about this a

596
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: handful of times through the years, but the absolute refusal

597
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: to recognize it or talk about it in the mainstream

598
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: media in either our country or Great Britain has been

599
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: so uniform, so astonishing that you feel like you're like

600
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: out on a limb or something. Or is this really true?

601
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: It's so horrific. Everybody ought to be talking about it,

602
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: but nobody is. Maybe I ought a soft pedal lit

603
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't. But anyway, Yeah, there's Muslim men

604
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 2: have had these rape gangs in Britain who have committed

605
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: horrific crimes, and in the name of not tearing the

606
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: country apart and leading to racial strife, the justice system,

607
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: the cops, the government has played it down like crazy

608
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: in Britain. More on that to come.

609
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to talk about the amazing thing

610
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: that is our peaceful transfer of power that we do

611
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: in the United States of America. Looking at all those

612
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: buildings and the fact that a whole new administration's about

613
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: to come in, and I spend a lot of time

614
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: reading about the Constitution and the riding the Constitution and

615
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: the founding Fathers and all that sort of stuff.

616
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: So I'll talk about that later.

617
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: We traveled around DC on those scooters, mostly the Lime scooters.

618
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god things. It would take you half an

619
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: hour to walk a couple of miles. You just zip

620
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: over there.

621
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

622
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 3: The only downside is the price. First one we jumped on,

623
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: me and the kids. We get me and Sam and Henry.

624
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: We get on there and we ride from the middle

625
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: of the mall where we are from, across the Natural

626
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: Stry Museum, past the Washington Monument, all the way to

627
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: the Lincoln Monument.

628
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: Parker things walk in. I get my ding on my phone.

629
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: It costs forty five bucks for the three of us

630
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: to scoot over there. I thought, Ah, that's why everybody's walking.

631
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: I thought, why is everybody walking when they's scooters everywhere?

632
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: I mean they're absolutely everywhere. You can lay one down,

633
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: walk over there, pick up another one, and take off.

634
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: It's a little pricey. You do that several times per day.

635
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: I think I spent two hundred bucks a day on scooters.

636
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Michael, are these things easy to ride?

637
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: Very easy to ride? Incredibly easy to ride? Ye see,

638
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: is famous. Anybody knows who's been there and knows this

639
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: DC is famous for. You'll be there at the Lincoln

640
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: Memorial and you say, look, it's the Washington Monument. It's

641
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: right there. Yeah, and you start walking toward it.

642
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: Then you realize, oh, it's immense, and it's actually a

643
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: mile away. And by the end of the day you're

644
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: so tired you can barely function. And the poor Jefferson

645
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: Memorial over there, there's nobody there. Hello. Yeah, well it's

646
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: kind of off the beaten path. What did he do?

647
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's go back over here. I don't know whose idea.

648
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: How was that he got he got shafted? Yeah, interesting

649
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: history of the Jefferson memorial, But we have no time.

650
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: If you're interested, perhaps you could bring it.

651
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: Forgot about it.

652
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: My son was watching a funny Simpsons episode in which

653
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: Lisa goes over to the Jefferson Memorial to talk to

654
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: Jefferson's statue, and Jefferson says, I know you're only here

655
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: because the Lincoln memorials do crowded. We've got Katie's headlines

656
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: coming up next.

657
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: Katie probably has a headline or two about this.

658
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: But we do need to talk about that terrorist attack

659
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: and what was going on there. Is that a a

660
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: glimpse into a bigger problem or what clearly is but

661
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: a current problem in the United States or not? What

662
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: was going on with this dude? I hadn't heard that

663
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: he traveled around the Middle East the way he did

664
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: so More on that later.

665
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fairly complex situation, I think. But let's

666
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: figure out who's reporting what it's the weak story with Katie.

667
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: Green Katie starting with NBC, Biden to deliver two major

668
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: speeches in his final.

669
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: Days in office.

670
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: Is anybody paying any attention to what he has to

671
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 3: say about anything?

672
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: Major? In what sense? Silently? Yeah? Yeah, who's calling it major? NBC?

673
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: All right? From ABC?

674
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: It would be impossible, unlet's see it now. I mean,

675
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: he announced I'm gonna set the Constitution on fire as

676
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: a prank. I mean, I don't think he could say

677
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: anything that would really.

678
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: Get drumming Iowa out of the Union. I don't think

679
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: he could say anything that would get much attention from anybody. No,

680
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: just go away from ABC.

681
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: North Korea tests ballistic missile as Blanken visits South Korea.

682
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: Boy boy, South Korea screwed up. Holy cow. I was

683
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: following that story over the vacation. More on that to Kumbut.

688
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,360

692
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. Can you imagine as memory looms, you

693
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: bring it up every ten minutes. That's why the memory's looming.

694
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't looming until you brought it up again.

695
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,320
