Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Katty and no He Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Smash and grab video captured a brazen robbery in San Jose, California,
Speaker 2: on Friday. After crashing through the front of a jewelry storm,
Speaker 2: more than a dozen thieves ran in and cleaned out
Speaker 2: the place. Eighty eight year old owner was slammed to
Speaker 2: the floor before the robber's gone away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you haven't seen that video, it's something. They
Speaker 3: just drove their vehicle into the window and then the
Speaker 3: eighty eight.
Speaker 1: Year old owner.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize he's that old, almost ninety years old,
Speaker 3: and he tried to rather than rather than shrink and
Speaker 3: fear like that dude did with his son and the baseball.
Speaker 3: He actually was gonna fight a group of young strong
Speaker 3: men as an eighty eight year old.
Speaker 1: He got knocked down as you would expect.
Speaker 4: Probably not a great idea, but yeah, they brutalized him
Speaker 4: and stole and you too can have this vote. Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight, America.
Speaker 3: So Apple's having its big meeting where it releases its
Speaker 3: new products today. I got a little preview of that,
Speaker 3: and I'll have to tell you a story about my
Speaker 3: own iPhone that would have changed all of our lives.
Speaker 3: All of our lives, well, not everybody listening, but everybody
Speaker 3: on this show. Joe's life, my life, everybody's life would
Speaker 3: have been changed if what nearly happened.
Speaker 1: Had happened yesterday. Wow, stay tuned for that. What I know.
Speaker 3: You should scold me for this after I tell you
Speaker 3: the story. Okay, I don't like to think about it. It
Speaker 3: gives me the sweats. Pull up my scolden pants. France's
Speaker 3: government collapsed in a spectacular fashion yesterday after mccrone's hand
Speaker 3: picked leader tried to reign in public debt. Macron understands
Speaker 3: that they're on a course of disaster, and he has
Speaker 3: been choosing people to be in his government that agree
Speaker 3: with him. And uh, not enough voters agree. I guess,
Speaker 3: so France's government. I'm reading for the New York Post
Speaker 3: some of it and from other publications. France's government was
Speaker 3: toppled in a vote of no confidence yesterday, forcing Emmanuel
Speaker 3: Macrone to search for his fourth prime minister in the
Speaker 3: last year and throwing EU's second largest economy into chaos.
Speaker 3: The premiere was ousted overwhelmingly huge vote three sixty four
Speaker 3: to one to ninety four, not even close against him,
Speaker 3: losing an apparent gamble the lawmakers would back his push
Speaker 3: for France to slash public spending to repay its debts.
Speaker 3: That's the crazy idea that he had, Let's cut our
Speaker 3: spending so we can pay down our debts. And he
Speaker 3: got overwhelmingly trounced. He was voted out, ending his short
Speaker 3: lived minority government after being appointed by Macron just in December.
Speaker 4: Yeah, left wing and right wing joined together and said, yeah,
Speaker 4: let's toss out the moderates and we'll fight for the scraps.
Speaker 3: The former president now admitted Monday that his last speech
Speaker 3: as Prime Minister was a gamble to tackle France's debt
Speaker 3: crisis by standing by his unpopular economic plan, and it
Speaker 3: didn't pay off. At the end of the first quarter
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five, France's public debt started at three
Speaker 3: point nine three trillion, hilarious number by US standards, obviously
Speaker 3: about four trillion dollars, but that's one hundred and fourteen
Speaker 3: percent of gross domestic product. When you go over one
Speaker 3: hundred percent. That's supposed to be like serious doomsday spiral.
Speaker 3: By the way, just in case you were wondering, the
Speaker 3: US debt to GDP ratio is one hundred and nineteen percent.
Speaker 1: France is doing better than us at this point. Wow
Speaker 1: wow wow.
Speaker 3: The former president hoped to cut debt. Included a bid
Speaker 3: to push a fifty one billion dollars savings plan that
Speaker 3: called for scrapping two public holidays. They have a public
Speaker 3: holiday a week practically in France. He wanted to get
Speaker 3: rid of two of them. No, you can't do it,
Speaker 3: and freezing government spending at its current level, not cutting
Speaker 3: like this is what happened with the Tea Party. You're
Speaker 3: not even trying to cut, You're just trying to cut
Speaker 3: the rate of growth, and.
Speaker 1: You get killed for it. They're doomed, they are, and
Speaker 1: so are we.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 3: The greatest risk was not to take a chance, he said,
Speaker 3: to let things go on without changing anything, to go
Speaker 3: on doing politics as usual. He said in his final speech,
Speaker 3: the nation is facing a silent, underground, invisible and unbearable
Speaker 3: hemorrhage of excessive public borrowing. Submission to debt is like
Speaker 3: submission through military force. Dominated by weapons or dominated by
Speaker 3: our creditors because of a debt that is submerging us.
Speaker 3: In both cases, we lose our freedom. That's what got
Speaker 3: voted against.
Speaker 4: And the unions and the leftists said no, we want
Speaker 4: to keep getting stuff.
Speaker 1: And here's my favorite thing.
Speaker 3: He said in his final speech, you have the power
Speaker 3: to overthrow my government, but you do not have the
Speaker 3: power to erase reality.
Speaker 1: Wow. That is some good ass right there. Wow.
Speaker 3: Reality remains inexorable. Spending will continue to increase, and the
Speaker 3: debt burden, already unbearable, will grow.
Speaker 1: Heavier and more costly.
Speaker 3: Good lord, how are there so few grown ups in
Speaker 3: Western civilization willing to stand up and say this? Well,
Speaker 3: they do, and you get voted out immediately by the
Speaker 3: left and the right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was thinking about you know, the US obviously reading
Speaker 4: about France, and we're just a couple of generations. I
Speaker 4: guess away from politicians who would not vote for unsustainable
Speaker 4: debt that they would consider that a horrible betrayal of
Speaker 4: the trust placed in them. They would consider it personally
Speaker 4: immoral and and and a crime against the kids and
Speaker 4: the grandkids. You just you could not get somebody to
Speaker 4: vote for what everybody votes for now, and I find
Speaker 4: myself wondering whether a democracy with our current you know,
Speaker 4: a moral view of overspending, can save itself.
Speaker 3: By the way, just back to France briefly, that the
Speaker 3: decision to boot boot him out created means there's no
Speaker 3: dominant political block for the first time in France's modern
Speaker 3: political history. I don't quite understand those systems, but they
Speaker 3: are in a lot of turmoil over there. But back
Speaker 3: to you got to cobble together a multi party coalition
Speaker 3: that you can't get anything done. But back to his
Speaker 3: quote that I love so much. You had the power
Speaker 3: to overthrow the government. Do not have the power to
Speaker 3: erase reality. God dang it, that's the whole reality. Bats last.
Speaker 1: You can.
Speaker 3: Ignore the growing debt and how it's unsustainable and all
Speaker 3: these programs are gonna go broke for a while, but
Speaker 3: the pain only gets worse. The pain that you will
Speaker 3: not may will suffer at some point is only going
Speaker 3: to be worse the longer you wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, there's a new report out in France about their
Speaker 4: educational system and how it's just failing miserably. Sound familiar
Speaker 4: and for the first time now, experts, educators there's a
Speaker 4: book out that's made a huge wave in France. It said, look,
Speaker 4: we've had rampant immigration, just unfettered immigration, and now one
Speaker 4: in five grade five essentially students speak a language other
Speaker 4: than French at home, and forty one percent of under
Speaker 4: fours are immigrants or immigrants children's and they're transforming the schools.
Speaker 1: That number on speaking French at home is astounding.
Speaker 4: Yeah, more than one in five year five pupils speak
Speaker 4: a language other than French at home. And much like
Speaker 4: in Britain, we've been discussing this and Germany. Germany's a
Speaker 4: little behind Britain, but they're heading in the same direction
Speaker 4: in France too, where it was just agreed upon. It
Speaker 4: was literally agreed upon. I think it was in Germany.
Speaker 4: I've got that around here somewhere by all of the
Speaker 4: major parties that we won't blame this on immigration, all right,
Speaker 4: you don't bring it up, and we won't bring it up.
Speaker 1: And they made a behind the scenes agreement.
Speaker 4: But now the people in Britain, in French, in Germany,
Speaker 4: you're like, yeah, we are talking about it, We're going
Speaker 4: to talk about it loudly. And things are nutty in Europe,
Speaker 4: right now, politically speaking, where it goes nobody knows. I mean,
Speaker 4: you combine popular disgust with being betrayed by the elites,
Speaker 4: the immigration thing especially, and the Islamization of European countries.
Speaker 4: They've allowed, you know, enormous numbers of people who despise
Speaker 4: their very principles in their way of life. Anyway, you
Speaker 4: combine that with the populist Once I get a benefit,
Speaker 4: I will never accept you scaling anything back.
Speaker 1: Where does that go?
Speaker 3: Why is there such a small number of us who
Speaker 3: are willing to accept the pain that has to happen.
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 3: I realize my taxes are going to go up, and
Speaker 3: I hate my taxes going up, and I'm not on
Speaker 3: many government services, so I wouldn't notice those being cut.
Speaker 3: But it's got to happen, So bring it on, like tomorrow,
Speaker 3: Let's do it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, because those who profit from the status quo are
Speaker 4: very very good at spinning the politics. It is so
Speaker 4: much easier to say, not only do you deserve it,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna give it to you, and say we
Speaker 4: can't give it to you anymore. And here's why taxes
Speaker 4: are nails. Pitch is so easy.
Speaker 3: Taxes are going to have to go up and services
Speaker 3: are gonna have to be cut. That's just absolutely freaking math,
Speaker 3: Like two plus two is five.
Speaker 4: Jack Armstrong is trying to balance the budget on the
Speaker 4: backs of the poor and the elderly.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give the poor and elderly more. Vote
Speaker 1: for me, and people will vote for me. I said,
Speaker 1: two plus two is five.
Speaker 3: I was gonna make a different point, two plus two
Speaker 3: is four in this instant you're claiming two plus two
Speaker 3: is five. You can come up with a different number equation,
Speaker 3: but you can't. Yeah, oh my god, I almost ruined
Speaker 3: my life, Joe's life, in many people's lives yesterday.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: It actually is scary, and it fits in with the
Speaker 3: fact that Apple's having their big thing today where they
Speaker 3: announced their new products, which will hit you with a
Speaker 3: couple of those things. But oof man frightening.
Speaker 5: Uh stay tuned, Armstrong, hedy, So our hilth apartment is
Speaker 5: right beside of Kentucky MIA's moonshine. They had put some
Speaker 5: fermiented peaches in their dumpster, and I guess the two
Speaker 5: baby raccoons had got into the dumpster and they were stuck.
Speaker 1: Everybody that was around was like it's dead.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just not gonna make it immediately. I
Speaker 5: just started doing CPR on it. I was tinkled to
Speaker 5: death that he was able to join its mom again,
Speaker 5: that poor little ratcon.
Speaker 1: I hope it stays out of dumpster.
Speaker 3: So that's a lady who saw what looked like a
Speaker 3: dead baby raccoon, and rather than just shrugging your shoulders
Speaker 3: and saying huh, I guess put that in the trash
Speaker 3: or something, she decided to give it mouth to mouth
Speaker 3: and bring it back.
Speaker 4: Well, I've watched the video. It's actually chest compressions. The
Speaker 4: picturing mouth and mouth is funnier, but she just gave
Speaker 4: it like chest compressions to bring it around. Drunk trash
Speaker 4: band does? What's this country going to.
Speaker 1: Drunk records? Her? Uh? Was that your new uh outlaw
Speaker 1: country band?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: A woman's Kentucky accent was charming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. She seems like a very nice person.
Speaker 3: I'm glad she had that result. But I would think
Speaker 3: if you put your finger on a half dead raccoon
Speaker 3: baby or not, there's a decent chance you're gonna get your.
Speaker 1: Bit hard, like really hard. Yeah, it's like a by
Speaker 1: a wild animal hard.
Speaker 4: Named the critter Otis Campbell named for the infamous Andy
Speaker 4: Griffith show back the Drunk.
Speaker 1: Back when the town Drunk was charming.
Speaker 3: Yes, so Apple's having their big event today where they
Speaker 3: announced new staff and apparently they actually have a new iPhone.
Speaker 3: You know, usually every other year, the usually get a
Speaker 3: new iPhone every other year. But the new one's supposed
Speaker 3: to be the iPhone Air and really slim and light.
Speaker 3: And we'll see when they make their announcement and if
Speaker 3: it is, I might get one because it sounds kind
Speaker 3: of cool. Also, maybe they're updating the Uh my favorite
Speaker 3: Apple product of all time is the iPhone. I love it,
Speaker 3: changed my life. And my second favorite product is the
Speaker 3: Ultra Watch. Use it all the time, love it. And
Speaker 3: they're gonna have an Ultra three come out today with
Speaker 3: some new stuff and I'll see if that's worth getting.
Speaker 3: But that's enough out of the Apple advertisement that they're
Speaker 3: gonna have today.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: One of the things that Bloomberg's really watching is how
Speaker 3: much do the prices go up, because there's been some
Speaker 3: rumblings and kind of threats from Tim Cook that with
Speaker 3: the whole tariff deal there could be a pretty big
Speaker 3: jump in the price of iPhones are all Apple products,
Speaker 3: and we'll find that out today.
Speaker 4: And the other scuttle butt, of course, is how slow
Speaker 4: they are onboarding AI compared to other devices.
Speaker 3: I have done this a couple of times. I've got
Speaker 3: to be more careful. Hanson executive producer hands and helped
Speaker 3: me put in a safeguard yesterday. I have a habit
Speaker 3: of leaving my iPhone laying around unlocked. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 3: I did it yesterday for quite a long time. I
Speaker 3: left it in the bathroom sitting on the counter unlocked
Speaker 3: for probably twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: And I don't know.
Speaker 3: About your life and how your iPhone is, but if
Speaker 3: you got into my unlocked iPhone, there are so many
Speaker 3: bad things that could happen to me, whether I mean
Speaker 3: just personally, financially, career wise, every aspect of my life
Speaker 3: and others Joe and many other people who remain nameless
Speaker 3: lives as would lives would be different if my unlocked
Speaker 3: iPhone were picked up by somebody who wanted to spend
Speaker 3: a little time figuring out.
Speaker 1: Who it was and what was going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: like disastrous. Wow.
Speaker 4: I don't recall participating in and anything terribly nefarious lately well,
Speaker 4: for our entire slandering.
Speaker 1: No no, no, not for fear you, for you and me.
Speaker 3: It would just be, you know, our entire business makeup
Speaker 3: and history and everything like that would be there for
Speaker 3: anybody if they want to do a little perusing through
Speaker 3: all my emails and everything like that, all my you know,
Speaker 3: and if you just want to be a criminal, you're
Speaker 3: into lots of my bank stuff, credit card stuff like
Speaker 3: that in personal life. I won't even get into all
Speaker 3: the different personal life stuff that could be highly embarrassing
Speaker 3: if somebody wanted to, you know, release it for me
Speaker 3: and others. I don't even want to tell others that
Speaker 3: I almost ruined their lives this way. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: you're unlocked iPhone. I would rather leave the door to
Speaker 3: my house unlocked with a sign at the front of
Speaker 3: the cul de sac that says house's gonna be unlocked
Speaker 3: the entire weekend. I would rather do that than have
Speaker 3: somebody get into my iPhone. And it's not even close.
Speaker 1: Wow, isn't it true? For everybody? I mean, because I
Speaker 1: got everything laid out.
Speaker 3: My finance is, all my emails for the past fifteen
Speaker 3: years on every subject.
Speaker 1: I mean, just it's all right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the only thing that could you know, help you
Speaker 4: out slow down the evil doers would be just the
Speaker 4: sheer bulk. Yeah, but if they had ample time to
Speaker 4: mess with it, you know.
Speaker 3: Right, And so Hanson said, you got to set the
Speaker 3: setting because I had the setting on never lock, because
Speaker 3: it's such a pain in the ass to constantly like
Speaker 3: you know, reface into it whatever. But I got it now,
Speaker 3: so it locks after a couple of minutes. So if
Speaker 3: I do that again, I won't ruin your life, my life,
Speaker 3: and everybody's life of that, I know. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 3: just a good idea for theft reasons too. Oh that
Speaker 3: was scary. I mean, like I had to sit down
Speaker 3: and take a breath when I realized, havee you ought
Speaker 3: engage in less evil?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, it's not that you want your whole financial
Speaker 3: life laid out on the online. Would you like to
Speaker 3: do that? Because that could have happened yesterday? Not so much, Yeah,
Speaker 3: not so much. We need to get into a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of other news stuff for you.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty a couple of things.
Speaker 3: First of all, Cracker Barrel is out with yet another announcement.
Speaker 3: This is one of the greatest br disasters in history.
Speaker 1: They're out with yet another announcement. We're listening to you.
Speaker 3: You've shared your voices in recent weeks, not only on
Speaker 3: our logo but on our restaurants.
Speaker 1: We're continuing to listen. Today.
Speaker 3: We're suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled,
Speaker 3: you don't need to worry.
Speaker 1: It won't be.
Speaker 3: So they've actually backed off not only on the sign,
Speaker 3: which who cared, but the remodel, which I did care about.
Speaker 3: But they just completely backed down. Did they ask I
Speaker 3: talked about this when you were gone? How I've seen
Speaker 3: this in action. Nobody ever has the guts to tell
Speaker 3: the boss that they might be wrong about something.
Speaker 1: That's why these things.
Speaker 3: Happen, because if you did, unless you're surrounded by lunatics,
Speaker 3: like handpicked lunatics, which is kind of the same thing.
Speaker 1: Also, they're just gonna say yes to whatever you say to.
Speaker 3: They would have said, people love our old, tiny look
Speaker 3: and everything like that.
Speaker 1: That's what people like about the place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know anything about their sales trends or
Speaker 4: or or.
Speaker 1: What motivated them to do that.
Speaker 4: If it was some sort of alleged forward thinking CEO,
Speaker 4: the gal who's in charge.
Speaker 1: You just thought, Yeah, this is tapering. I don't know anyway.
Speaker 3: They backed they've backed off completely. So there's that the
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Karen. I just watched the whole video. It's the
Speaker 3: first time i'd watched the whole video. I'm a little
Speaker 3: more sympathetic toward the dead. I still would have never
Speaker 3: given her the ball in front of my son, no
Speaker 3: freaking way. But she's there a lot longer than I realized.
Speaker 1: I just watched the.
Speaker 3: Whole video, and she just continues to scream like a lunatic.
Speaker 1: A lunatic.
Speaker 4: Security had to be about ten seconds away from getting there,
Speaker 4: I would say.
Speaker 1: But I would have waited for security if I had to,
Speaker 1: or fodder if.
Speaker 4: That's what it required. But I'm not going to give
Speaker 4: her the ball. Well, most games I go to, I
Speaker 4: end up fighting a woman. Yeah that's part of the fun. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just inexcuse. Well, I just wanted to de escalate.
Speaker 3: Maybe you would fight the woman who tries to take
Speaker 3: the home run ball at a Phillies game. Would you
Speaker 3: fight the Secretary of the Treasury, That's a different question.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's up for it. Some so bizarre current events,
Speaker 1: fight club we're running here.
Speaker 3: I don't blame you if you don't know who the
Speaker 3: Secretary of the Treasury is. His name is a Scott Bessant.
Speaker 3: Here's what he sounds like, just so you can hear
Speaker 3: him a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we look, we're not gonna do economic policy off
Speaker 6: of one number.
Speaker 1: We believe that.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's a very he's a very u A mild mannered,
Speaker 3: pointy headed, looks like an accountant, like you'd expect sort
Speaker 3: of policy geek.
Speaker 1: Is who Scott Bessant is? Is he the gay fella?
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know if he's gay or not.
Speaker 3: I have no idea, and I always get him and
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter in my world.
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. He's gay, okay, not that there's anything
Speaker 1: wrong with that.
Speaker 4: I always get him confused with the guy who has
Speaker 4: a similar name, who's also Hassett, who's.
Speaker 1: An economic advisor. Anyway, back to Scott Peasant.
Speaker 3: So this is from Mark Halprin's column today because he's
Speaker 3: got the insidest of inside his scoop on what happened here.
Speaker 3: Scott Bessant, born and bred Southerner, usually very polite, Yale
Speaker 3: clothes horse, married dad of two, philanthropist, friend to billionaires,
Speaker 3: presidents and kings, also the US Secretary of the Treasury,
Speaker 3: and apparently a trash talking, hot headed brawler. Here's what
Speaker 3: happened to tell last week at an exclusive dinner for
Speaker 3: Trump's Uppermost Inner at the New Executive Branch private club
Speaker 3: in Georgetown, as first reported by Politico, this is somebody
Speaker 3: who was there writing to Mark Alprin, Bessant fell into
Speaker 3: a fierce altercation with Bill Pulte, the ambitious Federal Housing
Speaker 3: Finance Agency director.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is or what that is,
Speaker 1: doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 3: Clued in by several allies that Pulte had been disparaging
Speaker 3: him to President Trump, Bessant got up in Poulte's grill.
Speaker 3: This is at the dinner in front of other high
Speaker 3: powered people. This is what Besson says. I won't use
Speaker 3: the actual words. Why the aff are you talking to
Speaker 3: the president about me?
Speaker 1: Ef?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 3: Besant raged in his face at the dinner. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: punch you in your effing face. Bessont first tried to
Speaker 3: have Pulte kicked out of the meal, kicked out of
Speaker 3: the room, then threaten to take the matter outside. Pulte says,
Speaker 3: to talk. He says, no, I'm gonna effing beat your ass.
Speaker 1: But ultimately.
Speaker 3: Who but ultimately cooled off enough to sit down to
Speaker 3: dinner with the dude, albeit at opposite ends of the table.
Speaker 1: Wow, my god, dinner table events.
Speaker 4: Wow, that'son't he's scrappy. He wouldn't have given up that baseball.
Speaker 1: No, he would not have. You want a baseball? How
Speaker 1: about an ass beating? Huh? Because the one's gonna cost
Speaker 1: you the other.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's Scott's be cool, Scott, sit out, let's
Speaker 3: watch the game. It's interesting that a guy like this
Speaker 3: would have said this, Yeah, can I talk to you
Speaker 3: for a second, and then, you know, you.
Speaker 1: Go somewhere private and say that. Yeah. It would be
Speaker 1: pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: To think the secretary at the Treasury was talking that
Speaker 3: way to another dude in private, but in front of
Speaker 3: everybody at the dinner.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, calling him out right there.
Speaker 3: No, we're gonna go outside on and beat your an ass, hey.
Speaker 1: He yells in front of everybody. Wow. Wow. Put him
Speaker 1: in charge of settle in the debt. You'll beat it
Speaker 1: into submission.
Speaker 4: You know, there's this story thing came out in June,
Speaker 4: and it's according to Steve Bannon, So I don't know
Speaker 4: that Besont got into a fight with Elon Musk. As
Speaker 4: the disagreement escalated, the two exited the White House and
Speaker 4: traded verbal insults. Bestn't, Frustrated over Musk's alleged failure to
Speaker 4: deliver on promises to slash actual government wats blah blah blah,
Speaker 4: reportedly yelled you're a fraud. You're a total fraud. Bannon
Speaker 4: that claims musked and charged at Besson, rammed his shoulder
Speaker 4: into his rib cage like a rugby player, prompting Bessont
Speaker 4: to retaliate. The scuffle quickly drew the attention nearby staff.
Speaker 4: Multiple people rushed to break up the altercation. Musk was
Speaker 4: reportedly escorted out of the West Wings soon after.
Speaker 3: If I had heard that story first, i'd have said,
Speaker 3: no way that happened. Hearing it after a eyewitness report
Speaker 3: of how Besson talks to people, Uh yeah, I believe
Speaker 3: one hundred percent that happened. Elon's a big dude too,
Speaker 3: so him ran on his shoulder into you wouldn't mean nothing.
Speaker 3: Uh wow, what the heck?
Speaker 4: America's scrappiest Treasury secretary clearly cant weird fast.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's Alexander Hamilton challenge you to
Speaker 3: a dual scrappy but.
Speaker 4: All right, I was gonna say, you got to go
Speaker 4: back to the og. Hamilton, who knew his way around
Speaker 4: the dueling ground, not great at it.
Speaker 1: Apparently that is really something.
Speaker 3: Those quotes from somebody that was sitting there, Why the
Speaker 3: eff are you talking to the president about me? F you,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna punch you in your effing face.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Then he then Paulte said, well, let's talk about this
Speaker 3: out or Besson said I want to talk about this
Speaker 3: outside to talk.
Speaker 4: No, I'm going to effing beat your ass. Well, it's
Speaker 4: direct and we need more of that sort of directness
Speaker 4: in government.
Speaker 1: You know, Trump was watching that thinking this is awesome.
Speaker 4: He is known to pit people against each other to
Speaker 4: see who's the scrappiest.
Speaker 3: Wow, that is that is that is wild. Usually people
Speaker 3: with that sort of temperament don't rise to that level
Speaker 3: of anything. Yeah, it is curious. He's he's a brilliant guy,
Speaker 3: no doubt. Yeah, Wow, that's crazy. But he said two,
Speaker 3: I'm willing to get into a physical fight to prove

Speaker 6: It's Clue Liberal. Addition, this time. There are no suspects.
Speaker 6: You only blame the murder weapon.
Speaker 1: It was the candlestick. The candlestick is the killer. Why
Speaker 1: won't anyone stop these.
Speaker 6: Murders with common sense candlestick control.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write legislation to ban them.
Speaker 6: I just need to get it past the NCA, the
Speaker 6: National Candleman Association.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court just overturned the candlestick ban.
Speaker 6: It's fun for the whole family, except for children or
Speaker 6: the elderly.
Speaker 3: When can we end this candlestick culture that is killing us?
Speaker 1: So on a Does anybody play Clue anymore? Y'all get
Speaker 1: that joke?
Speaker 3: Interesting game is a kid I didn't think about it,
Speaker 3: but a lot of bludgeoning people to death with heavy objects,
Speaker 3: and they're choking.
Speaker 1: Them out, them choking them out. Yeah, we played with
Speaker 1: our kids.
Speaker 4: There's actually a kid's kid's Clue version that's a little simplified.
Speaker 1: It's fun. I've never played Clue with my kids. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy. I'm gonna order on Amazon.
Speaker 3: I'll have it by tomorrow, the old timey version of Clue,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna play that this weekend.
Speaker 4: You got various's the house guests bludging in people to death.
Speaker 4: It's fun for the whole family. Were choking them right?
Speaker 4: Are choking them out?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, we talked about the horrible crime in Charlotte earlier.
Speaker 4: You know, we could recap that if you want, but
Speaker 4: the point is, progressive prosecutor.
Speaker 1: It's just awful.
Speaker 3: You watch that video and I haven't seen it the
Speaker 3: whole thing, and I don't want to see the whole thing,
Speaker 3: but just the idea of that innocent, cute, young blonde
Speaker 3: girl sitting there mining her own business and that guy
Speaker 3: just murdering her in cold blood right there.
Speaker 1: It's just awful. And he'd shown he's that kind of
Speaker 1: guy before.
Speaker 3: That's the bad part. When are we going to catch
Speaker 3: on when people tell you who they are, believe them,
Speaker 3: lock up people like that and leave them locked up?
Speaker 1: Good God.
Speaker 4: And the lunatic mayor of Charlotte actually responded to it
Speaker 4: with statements like we'll never arrest our way out of
Speaker 4: issues such as homelessness. He should be booted out today,
Speaker 4: booted she should be booted out today. Yeah, that is
Speaker 4: just that's unrestistible over again, reconstable. You know, I get
Speaker 4: so mad about this is when we got assaulted by
Speaker 4: that homeless person. When I called the cops, the first
Speaker 4: thing the cops said to me, he said, you know,
Speaker 4: the real tragedy is that we don't have more places
Speaker 4: for these people.
Speaker 3: Af you. The real tragedy is my kids are crying
Speaker 3: right now, Afe you.
Speaker 1: I was so mad about that same thing here.
Speaker 3: How do you go immediately with your sympathy is toward
Speaker 3: the criminal?
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 4: Her conclusion was, the murder should force us to look
Speaker 4: at what we're doing across our community to address root causes.
Speaker 1: You're a sicko.
Speaker 3: If your first reaction to innocent people being on the
Speaker 3: wrong end of crime, your first reaction is the criminal.
Speaker 3: You're feeling sorry for the criminal. There's something damned.
Speaker 1: Wrong with you. You should not be in any position of power.
Speaker 4: Arrested over and over again, including violent crimes, uh failure
Speaker 4: to apear in court multiple times, in possession of a
Speaker 4: firearm as a felon, and they just kept turning him
Speaker 4: loose until he murdered somebody. Progressives, We'll let you maim
Speaker 4: and stab and terrify and abuse and steal over and
Speaker 4: over murders.
Speaker 1: The only thing that gets you behind me.
Speaker 3: That might be the best taste for what a test
Speaker 3: for what Elon calls the woke mind virus. If you
Speaker 3: hear about a crime where somebody gets hurt or killed
Speaker 3: and your first level of compassion is toward the person
Speaker 3: that did the harm, you have the woke mind virus
Speaker 3: in your head to such a level. I don't think
Speaker 3: you can ever be fixed. You're so twisted and sick
Speaker 3: and have lost all your moral compass.
Speaker 4: Or if you have some sort of vague resentment against
Speaker 4: some industry like healthcare, and some sicko murders a young
Speaker 4: dad and you say, good, you had it coming. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you've probably got a fatal case of the woke mind virus.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there's any curing you.
Speaker 3: Any thoughts on that text line four one five n KFTC.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: We haven't really seen much of the president over the
Speaker 3: last week.
Speaker 7: Basically absent from the public eye.
Speaker 3: He's clearly hiding something about his health, and the hashtag
Speaker 3: Trump is dead trends it on social media.
Speaker 1: What the your pet ball? The reporters have no shill.
Speaker 7: Guy can't take a few days for some R and
Speaker 7: R and a non surgical breast production without everybody suddenly
Speaker 7: pulling out the toe tags on the president.
Speaker 8: It does say something about the ubiquity of Donald Trump
Speaker 8: in our lives. Then we don't hear from him for
Speaker 8: twenty minutes, and we're like, he's dead. I think he'sh
Speaker 8: How do you know he's dead. Well, it's been seven
Speaker 8: minutes since the word new scum has come up on
Speaker 8: my beeB.
Speaker 1: He must be dead. But of course Trump didn't die
Speaker 1: in office. But I wouldn't put it past.
Speaker 7: Him trying once again to take credit for something Biden
Speaker 7: had already accomplished.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we haven't talked about this, so didn't I missed it.
Speaker 3: I guess it was an online thing and.
Speaker 1: I missed it too.
Speaker 3: It makes me wonder about how online some of you are.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like I'm online too much and I've
Speaker 3: missed several online stories using my.
Speaker 1: Finger quotes of the last year.
Speaker 3: So that made me think there's a whole other world
Speaker 3: to be an online that I'm not into.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would agree. There's a speaking of Biden.
Speaker 4: Oh do we have time for this? Probably not, But
Speaker 4: a lot has come out about his wild, indiscriminate pardonings
Speaker 4: of people, and they have internal memos that show it
Speaker 4: was about Hunter we have to cover up the pardon
Speaker 4: of Hunter, So find me hundreds of people and we'll
Speaker 4: pardon them too and cloud the waters.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. So you know about Weimo right.
Speaker 3: It's the self driving taxi and it only exists in
Speaker 3: five cities currently, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin. I don't know
Speaker 3: what the other two are. Tesla's trying to compete in
Speaker 3: a several other companies, but Tesla's is the biggest. They
Speaker 3: got a pilot project going in a couple of different
Speaker 3: cities that currently still have a rider in them. A
Speaker 3: rider sits in the passenger seat in case he has
Speaker 3: to take over. It's a safety monitor that Elon says,
Speaker 3: we'll be out of the car by the end of
Speaker 3: the year.
Speaker 1: Elon actually made the He makes all kinds of.
Speaker 3: Claims that can't come true, but he said, I think
Speaker 3: we'll probably have autonomous ride hailing in probably half the
Speaker 3: population of the US by the end of the year.
Speaker 3: There's not a chance that's going to happen, but I
Speaker 3: wonder if we're getting closer or where we're going to
Speaker 3: eventually end end up as it, at least in urban areas.
Speaker 3: Why would you own a car. If you can order
Speaker 3: one of these cars to come pick you up, get
Speaker 3: in it, and it takes you somewhere.
Speaker 1: Is that any different sharing.
Speaker 4: Services they're so popular too now, So between all of
Speaker 4: those things, Yeah, if there were enough vehicles out there
Speaker 4: driving around, I just wonder if most of the vehicles
Speaker 4: on the road are going to be autonomous, some sort
Speaker 4: of taxi thing in an urban area and everybody just
Speaker 4: rides around and those as opposed to getting in your
Speaker 4: car and you know, driving people of lunch or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, there's a headline, let's see. I
Speaker 4: read it in Yeah Who News, but it's from I
Speaker 4: can't remember Atlantic daily newspaper. The headline is Tesla wants
Speaker 4: out of the car business. They haven't introduced a new
Speaker 4: model in five years, and their new what do they
Speaker 4: called their Big Plan Master Plan for which was released
Speaker 4: earlier this week, makes no mention of any new electric
Speaker 4: cars in the works. It is instead all about robo
Speaker 4: taxis and robots and.
Speaker 1: That sort of thing.
Speaker 3: Wow, that'd be something if the most success full electric
Speaker 3: car ever all of a sudden decides not to do
Speaker 3: it anymore. Somebody told me the new way mods they
Speaker 3: don't have the string wheel or anything like that. It's
Speaker 3: just a bench in the front and the bench in
Speaker 3: the back.
Speaker 1: It's like a moving I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what do you call it? Traincar, amusement park ride? Yeah,
Speaker 3: like an amusement park ride. We do a lot of
Speaker 3: hours and segments. If you miss any, get the podcast
