1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and no He Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Chapaul yesterday named a former Army's executive as it's new CEO.

5
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: So he went from we have the meets too, It's

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: in there somewhere. Just poke around in the rice a

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: little bit.

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: Wow. Oh.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: Breaking news, John Fune will be the leader of the

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: Republican Senate. Also breaking news, Johnson is going to run

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: unopposed as the Leader of the House for the Republicans,

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: so he will once be once again be the Speaker

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 4: of the House.

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised to hear that the Senate it went

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: with Thune. Trump was pushing Rick Scott of Florida, but

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: the Senate is not there to be pushed around. I

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: consider themselves their own things very much.

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: I still got this hair brain conspiracy theory that may

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: not be true, that all of this coming together so

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: quickly and so unopposedly at so many levels is because

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: the world's about to freaking explode, and all the power

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: bookers know that, and this is not a time to

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: play around. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it was just the

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: thorough trouncing. Trump won so many different demographics, and like

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 4: every county but two in the country went his direction.

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Maybe it's that, maybe everybody's just let's not like raise

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: our heads up and show that we're against the tide here.

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: Maybe it's that. I hope it's that. But you know,

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: getting all the leadership together, getting all these people with

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: serious people appointed, and most of the Democrats that I

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: see on TV, like serious Democrats saying oh yeah, I

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: approve of this, you know, and just everything running smoothly,

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 4: the way Biden treated Trump today in the Oval office.

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: Just I think the high levels of government thing. This

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: is not a time to miss around China, Russia, Iran,

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 4: all the stuff that's going down.

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder I leaned toward the more mundane explanation,

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: although both could be factoring in, but I was trying

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to find.

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: Oh, or I see that chart.

43
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: There's there's a chart of like twenty seven different demographic

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: groups in the United States by age and ethnicity and

45
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: education and all sorts of stuff, And it was every

46
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: single one except for like college educated white women and

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: white women under the age ax and whatever. The safest,

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: most entitled groups in America. They all swung right, except

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: for that very small group of life's going.

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: It's great. They're affluent, they're educated, and you know, my.

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Diagnosis description would be they're comfortable enough to indulge their

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: virtue signaling unicornian, utterly bereft of reality philosophies. Everybody else

53
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, I'm trying to feed my kids over here. Anyway,

54
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: that's my interpretation. But oh hey, do me a favorite, Michael,

55
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: could you play clip thirty two? This is Katie Pavlich.

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 6: Pete Hagsath is dedicated to taking wokeism out of the military,

57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 6: which if you love the US military and you love

58
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: this country, you have to do.

59
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: They've been distracted.

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 6: We live in a very dangerous world, and he's vowed

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 6: to get rid of generals. He doesn't care who you are,

62
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 6: but if you're distracted from the mission to take care

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 6: of your virtue signaling and your wokeism, he wants you

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 6: out of there.

65
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: So the Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order,

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: according to the Wall Street Journal, that establishes a warrior

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: board of retired senior military personnel with the powder to

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: review three and four star officers and to recommend removals

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: of any deemed unfit for leadership.

70
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: If Trump approves the.

71
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Order, which is banging around DC, people are looking at it,

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: it could fast track the removal of generals and admirals

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: found to be quote lacking in requisite leadership qualities. It

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: could also create a chilling effect on top military officers,

75
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: given the president elects of past bow to fire at

76
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: woke generals.

77
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 4: What if you you always say about the higher you

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: go up, the more you are a politician than.

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: A unless you are a soldier. Yeah, yeah, but I

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: like the writing. It could create a chilling effect on

81
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: top military officers.

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's get more specific. What sort of chilling effect.

83
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Well, a chilling effect on trying to make everybody take

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: DEI training and embrace a trans commanding officer.

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Well, chill away, yeah.

86
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: No kidding, no kidding, no kidding. I welcome this PubL debate,

87
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: and I think it's another one that is easily won

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: by the right, despite the mainstream media feeling the exact opposite,

89
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 4: that the vast majority of people would choose the most

90
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: effective military unit over a unit that has, you know,

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: the right number of women trans whatever.

92
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Gay, it doesn't matter. And if you're gay in an

93
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: effective fighter and it doesn't affect you know, unit coherence

94
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. To fight on, my brother, and thank you

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: for your service. It's not about that. But it's not

96
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: about that. I like the rest of the sentence. Actually,

97
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: blah blah blah Wolke generals referring to officers seen as

98
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.

99
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, we wouldn't want to have a chilling effect

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: on that.

101
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: Wow, no kidding, what a sentence. There'd be a chilling.

102
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: Effect on having a less effective military.

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: Okay, chill away, chill away.

104
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: How many different tops and that's why this the election

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: was so delightful, even if you don't love Trump on

106
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: so many topics.

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: Even guys like.

108
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Me have been walking into the town hall meeting of

109
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: life thinking, you know, I'm going to advocate for what

110
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: I believe. I'm gonna get the hell beat out of me,

111
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: but I believe this.

112
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: Here we go. Then you walk into the town hall

113
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: meeting that is all of.

114
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: America, and not only are you not getting the hell

115
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: beat out of you, the eighty percent of the crowd

116
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: agrees with you, even though you've just been battered by

117
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: the chattering classes of America. We need a better descriptor

118
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: that timeout. Can I have a timeout timeout? What is

119
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: a good concise term for media and education and entertainment

120
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: and the left politically, so we can quickly summarize who

121
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: has been bamboozling us into believing that we're in the minority,

122
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: the sane Americans, including Democrats.

123
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: We need a name for that.

124
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: If you have a good one, tramps mail an e

125
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.

126
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: As I mentioned over the weekend, going to Vegas and

127
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: back just airports, streets, restaurants, I saw way more Trump

128
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: stuff than I saw before the election.

129
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: And I think it's because timeout's over. This is the

130
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: official show go ahead.

131
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: I think it's because people that were pro Trump felt like, oh,

132
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: I can raise my head up and say it out loud,

133
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: because it turns out fifty percent of the country agrees

134
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: with me. And that's certainly enough that I don't have

135
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: to hide what I believe. And now with all the

136
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: every newscast in America in the world really will include

137
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 4: Trump and Biden sitting down and smiling and shaking hands

138
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: in the Oval office. Today, you should be able to

139
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 4: walk down the street in a Maga hat without being

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: considered evil or a Nazi given that video today.

141
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: But if we were to go into that fanciful town

142
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: hall of all Americans and say I don't think we

143
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: should promote diversity at the expense of military readiness, crazy

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Everybody'd be like, do we even have to vote on this?

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: And yet it's portrayed as somehow provocative an edgy worth

146
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: mentioning his commander in chief. Trump can fire any officer

147
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints

148
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: would bypass the Pentagon's regular promotion system, signaling across the

149
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: military that he intends to purge.

150
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: A number of generals and admirals.

151
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: Of course, if you're the most extreme crazy person on

152
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: the left who actually believes he's going to be Hitler

153
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: fascist stuff, he's trying to get rid of all the

154
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: generals that would say no when he announces I want

155
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 4: the army to surround the House of Representatives.

156
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you'll hear plenty of just

157
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: utterly hair on fire scare tactics. Having said that I

158
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: don't want Trump, because Trump is known for being mercurial

159
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: and capricious at times and also easily butt hurt. So

160
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: I hope it is a very sober and deliberate process.

161
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: He's now sack generals, He's now a full weekend without

162
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: doing anything like really crazy or saying anything really crazy.

163
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. So let's look at some of the specifics.

164
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: The draft order said it aims to establish a review

165
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: that focuses and I quote on leadership, capability, strategic readiness,

166
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: and commitment to military excellence. Any objections? So far, the

167
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: draft doesn't specify what officers need to do or present

168
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: to show if they meet those standards. Well, that's why

169
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: there's a board. They're going to look through their whole records.

170
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: What would you say if if the Warrior Board was

171
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: eyeball in General Jones, who was promoting, you know, one

172
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: brand of woolchism or not made everybody sit down for

173
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: DEI training, and General Jones came to you and said, look,

174
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: the Biden administration was sitting on our chest making us

175
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: do that.

176
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: I hated it. I'm more than happy to implement these

177
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: new policies. You're gonna get rid of General Jones or what?

178
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough one, because that could be the

179
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: case with most of these guys, maybe all of them,

180
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: and it's mostly guys, could be almost all of them

181
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: and say, yeah, I've been here through two terms of Obama,

182
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: and I thought it was gonna be two terms of Biden.

183
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: And if I want to stay in uniform and climb

184
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: up through the military, which is my career, I.

185
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: Gotta be on board with this stuff. I don't like

186
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: it either.

187
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not only the case, not only climbing up,

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: but there's a question of the chain of command. I mean,

189
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: making your troops sit through DEI training, to me, is awful.

190
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: It's racist, it's counterproductive, it's counter readiness and efficiency. It's

191
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: I could go on for an hour on this, but anyway,

192
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: so but I don't think it's the classic illegal order

193
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: that you can defy.

194
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 4: Yes, somebody just texted Joe used the words mercurial and

195
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: butt hurt.

196
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: In the same sentence. Nice. I'm very complicated trying to

197
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: reach all audiences.

198
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: I think this is yet another example of something I've

199
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: become aware of just in my own mind. And it's

200
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: difficult to draw you a picture exactly, but I guess

201
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: the town hall thing is a decent enough metaphor the

202
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: idea that all of those specific quotes I gave you,

203
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: or the more general one about promoting diversity at the

204
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: expense of military readiness. I've got to admit, at least

205
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: to a small extent, I had let it creep into

206
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: my consciousness that those were provocative or controversial ideas, not

207
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: like not in Toto.

208
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: There you go.

209
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: I just used a Latin phrase. Now I'm going to

210
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: make a fart noise again, very complicated, very layered. I

211
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: had let it creep into even my consciousness that, boy,

212
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to be mad about.

213
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: This, and that's utterly inappropriate.

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: What could be more mainstream than military readiness? Is our

215
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: top priority? Even if somebody gets their feelings hurt a

216
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: little bit. What is your major malfunction, America?

217
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 4: Coming up your deepest, darkest secrets about to be sold

218
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: for profit.

219
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: Perhaps let me.

220
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Get some deeper, darker secrets going before that happens, because

221
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: I've been wasting time and a.

222
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: Bunch of other stuff on the way.

223
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 7: Stay here, millions have you used twenty three and meat?

224
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 7: Just give us a livea sample and get highly sensitive

225
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 7: information about your health and genealogy.

226
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: But now the.

227
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 7: Company's fallen on hard times, big layoffs, losing nearly six

228
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 7: billion dollars ninety eight percent of its value. Since twenty

229
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 7: three and meters is not a healthcare company, your DNA

230
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 7: data is not protected by health privacy laws.

231
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Now more and more customers of twenty three meters saying.

232
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: What happens to my data?

233
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 8: The vica's bankrupt, then potentially could people buy the data?

234
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 7: Twenty three of Me's DNA database is arguably its biggest asset,

235
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 7: but for customers that information could be their biggest liability.

236
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: That's kind of.

237
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: Interesting because originally those companies like twenty three and meter

238
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: answers for down common and everything like that, had to

239
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: have really long, solid privacy statements for some reason.

240
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't give a crap about mine.

241
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: But to make sure people for now this twenty three

242
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: meters might go bankrupt, and that's just it's not for

243
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: sale for anybody who wants to do whatever they want

244
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: with it.

245
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: By the filing cabinets, you get the files. Yes, I

246
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: know it's all on computers, but yeah, you get the point.

247
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

248
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are days I feel like I've lost ninety

249
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: eight percent of my value to this.

250
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: I sympathize. I don't.

251
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: Can't trying to picture, first of all, Michael, saliva sample.

252
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: That's why you keep getting in accurate results. It's not

253
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: a stool sample.

254
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Wow, that explains a lot.

255
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: But I'm trying to even picture a like twenty three

256
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: and me style result that I would be horrified to

257
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: have be found.

258
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't what could you have that you

259
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: would be concerned about?

260
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not good at this stuff, but they

261
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: have all sorts of analysis and studies. They try to

262
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: get you to participate in studies constantly because they want

263
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: to sell what is, in effect a genetic medical database

264
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: for Okay, this sort of people, they develop this sort

265
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: of cancer more often, you know whatever.

266
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: And if if somebody found that out about me, they

267
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: would what.

268
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Well, he might discriminate against you in hing

269
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: or something like that, because a company would be asraded

270
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: that you could be.

271
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: You know, blah blah blah. It's not inconceivable. No, it's not,

272
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: Actually it's not.

273
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Actually, maybe it's because I'm the agent I am, and

274
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I have blackmailable secrets about many high placed corporate figures.

275
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: But I just don't worry about this stuff. No, I

276
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: don't either. NBC is reporting.

277
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: It's hard to know if this is true or not,

278
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: but it's at least kind to true. The mainstream media

279
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: hates Elon Musk now right, because he went all in

280
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: for Trump, But NBC is reporting Elon Musk's near constant

281
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: presence at Mar A Lago since Trump's victory has begun

282
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: to wear on people in Trump's inner circle. Sources say

283
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: he's behaving as if he's co president and making sure

284
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: everyone knows it.

285
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: One person says that might be see there being some truth.

286
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: There might be one.

287
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: Person saying that, but it's not impossible to imagine that

288
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: dynamic emerging where Elon is really kind of I mean,

289
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: as the world richest man who runs so many different

290
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: companies where everybody has to, you know, ask how high

291
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: when he says jump, is pretty comfortable weighing in on

292
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: everything and famously bristling with energy Yeah.

293
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like twenty hours a day, yeah, which I am

294
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: the opposite of whatever the opposite of that would.

295
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Be, and super gung ho and on the autism spectrum, yeah,

296
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I could see where you know, that wouldn't be the

297
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: easiest guy to get along with necessarily, so.

298
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: You're like me.

299
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: You don't know the names of all the players in Washington,

300
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 4: d C. Who does and all these names being thrown

301
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: around for a variety of positions, I don't know who

302
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: they are. But a couple of my favorite pundits weighed

303
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: in on the new Senate majority leader and a couple

304
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: of other picks from Trump that I think you'll find

305
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: interesting as to whether or not what direction Trump is going.

306
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: He might have a second.

307
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: Term that is so different from his first term that

308
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: his first term is forgotten by history.

309
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: Hmmm.

310
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: A number of his picks have been at least somewhat

311
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: surprising and really cool, really good.

312
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: As far as I'm.

313
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: Concerning the mainstream Republican conservative right, I've got that coming up.

314
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 4: It's really interesting. Grab the podcast if you miss it now,

315
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty.

316
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: Do you guys see this?

317
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 8: Following the election, bookings have spiked for rage rooms, where

318
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 8: people pay to go break stuff that. If you think

319
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 8: the people in rage rooms are mad, imagine that the

320
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 8: people who couldn't get a booking out of rage.

321
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: Rooms like gold Down. You gotta be kidding.

322
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 8: If you've never heard of a rage room, it's a

323
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 8: place where people go to smash plates, cuffs and bottle.

324
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: It's waffle house, it's h.

325
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: So, as I was listening to that joke, just for chuckles,

326
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: I looked up a rage room close to the radio ranch,

327
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you can choose what music you jam while

328
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: you're smashing stuff of great date night idea.

329
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: Sure, but I'm looking at the packages.

333
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 4: I thought of this years ago, one time on my own.

334
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: I wish I'd have had the money in the capitol,

335
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,040

338
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: a lot of people would really like it if you

339
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: could like stuff that you you know, people get mad

340
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,879

349
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: have you ever smashed anything in anger?

350
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: Yes? And what was it? You know? You remember it

351
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: was a house. I burnt down a friend's house after

352
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: he crossed me.

353
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: No, I famously producer Scott years and years ago.

354
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 9: A smashed if you don't start playing that harbor wha,

355
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 9: My god, she's a World War One veteran and so

356
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 9: close after Veterans Day you threaten her seconding.

357
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: Anyway? Where was I? Oh? Yeah, I was.

358
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: It was one of those days where I couldn't get

359
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: the printer to work and we're getting very close to

360
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: the show and the computer was screwed up, and I

361
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: was just so stressed out. And Scott came into wherever

362
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: I was and made a light hearted joke about printers

363
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I was so mad I

364
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: threw the mugging the wall. I wasn't mad at him,

365
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: I was mad at the printers. And it was an

366
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: ill timed attempt at humor. But yes, I was quite

367
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: on edge. But I think that's it, Katie.

368
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I uh, I took a baseball bat.

369
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: To a curing Oh, very satisfying.

370
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was actually it was in the radio

371
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 5: studio and it was a great It was a great time.

372
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: That thing shattered, It went all over the place. Yeah,

373
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: they probably rate, but there wasn't there a lot of

374
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: clean up the people for that.

375
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 5: No, it was I mean it was empty. It wasn't

376
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: have any water or anything in it.

377
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably similar to the one I smashed a printer.

378
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 4: It was it was in anger, but more like controlled anger.

379
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: Like I was so angry to printer that I told

380
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 4: my kids I was going to do it. I took

381
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 4: it outside and I smashed it to bits with a

382
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: bat because I hated that printer so much. But that

383
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 4: was it was in control. It wasn't out of control

384
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: like when I threw a vacuum down all all the

385
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 4: way once. I just I don't remember what was going on,

386
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: but they just get just the cord got all tangled

387
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 4: up in the closet.

388
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: I think that's the only thing I've ever smashed. Michael,

389
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: you don't seem to be the smashing video game controller.

390
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: Playing a game with my brother when I was younger,

391
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: and he beat me at the last second I got

392
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: so I just threw it against the wall and then

393
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: went into pieces.

394
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, the thrill of victory, of the

395
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: agony defeat. Hanson. You seem like a smasher. You ever

396
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: smashed in him? Oh? Please? He smashed something today. He's

397
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: smashing something right now. Okay, that's right. He's busy smashing things,

398
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: so we can't tell us.

399
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, this twenty dollars a person package you get

400
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: a variety breakable items such as glass items, bottles, VHS, tapes,

401
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: and a small a small electronic, just one perfect for

402
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: new clients or clients that are unsure about trying this

403
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: new experience. Now, for forty bucks a person, you get

404
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: the Deluxe with the big variety of weapons I mentioned

405
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: items included in this package bottles, breakable glass items, large electronics,

406
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: and windshields. This is perfect for clients wanting to do

407
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: big damage to big items.

408
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: So is the level of satisfaction the same? I feel

409
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: like it wouldn't be quite the same. That the act

410
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: of smashing stuff is a certain I shouldn't be doing this.

411
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: This is a signaling to I don't know to others,

412
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 4: to myself. When I threw the vacuum cleaning, there's nobody

413
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 4: around to see it, so I wasn't signaling to anyone else.

414
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: I just I wonder if it's like, you know, cursing

415
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: when you're in pain, that actually releases painkilling chemicals in

416
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: your brain. And I wonder if you have to be

417
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: in the act of anger to get those pleasure chemicals.

418
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, or work it up, you know, I wonder

419
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: if there's a bit of a psychic procedure. All right, now,

420
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: before we go in there, let's think about your boss.

421
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: How do you feel about it?

422
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 10: Friday afternoon two? Friday afternoon two, You're planning to go home.

423
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 10: Boss just walked in, dumped a big project on your desk.

424
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 10: Could have done it earlier in the week, but you know,

425
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 10: he puts stuff off and he procrastinates. You're gonna pay

426
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 10: the price for it. You had big plans tonight. Come on,

427
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 10: you could do it. Come on, so you're.

428
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: Like ginning it up. I'm thinking looking back, how about

429
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: how's your X treating? You know, let's talk about.

430
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: Your excellent but just fine. You gotta tap into a.

431
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Vein because this is about relieving the stress in the anger.

432
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: Here he is with another woman. Hut, picture him with

433
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: another one. Now here's a.

434
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Bat No again, you have different views of this. I'm

435
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: looking at the promotional video here. That's a bad word.

436
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm afraid there might be stop it, makeus stop. I

437
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: was looking at the promotional video, as I just said,

438
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: and but there was an F word printed on the board,

439
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: and I'm afraid people might swear drink its Ah.

440
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: That'd be bad. Then I would have smash him thing

441
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: because we lost our careers. Smash and smash, smash. It's

442
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: been a decent so hell. I don't know if you

443
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: know who John Thune is.

444
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 4: He's a US Senator from South Dakota, and he's just

445
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: been elected the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate.

446
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 4: Because the Republicans now have fifty three senators, they are

447
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: the majority party. So he's the majority leader of the

448
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 4: US Senate, which is one of the most powerful political

449
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: positions on planet Earth. I don't know much about him.

450
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 4: It's interesting that Christy Nome's going to be the DHS.

451
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: She's the governor of South Dakota, and now I get

452
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 4: a senator. Seems pretty heavy. On the to any tiny

453
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 4: little state of South Dakota.

454
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: But that's out.

455
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: There would be like fifty thousand Californians in the cabinet

456
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: rougher instance right now. Or he's not in the cabinet obviously,

457
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: but you get my mini.

458
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: But I don't know anything about John Finn, but I

459
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: thought this was interesting. Charles C. W.

460
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 4: Cook, who I respect his opinion and usually agree with it,

461
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 4: of National Review, tweeted out John Thune was the best

462
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 4: option for Senate majority leader. The job requires a particular

463
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 4: set of skills, and they aren't the ones that have

464
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: been loudly discussed over the last week. I'm glad he

465
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: was chosen. He'll be good for the role. I think

466
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 4: it's interesting that Noah Roffman, also of National Review, said

467
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: the very online maga activist class got Trump and nothing else,

468
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: responding to Foon beating Cornyn for the leadership in the Senate.

469
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 4: In other words, Fune's more of a traditional Republican conservative

470
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: and not a maga guy, and he won. So that's

471
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 4: what made me think. And with some of the other choices,

472
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, I just I wonder

473
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: if Trump is going to be way more of a

474
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 4: normal Republican president than anybody was expecting, and yes, end

475
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: up going down in history as just another Republican president

476
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: as opposed to what he was probably going to be

477
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 4: after one term.

478
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: No, well, I.

479
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: Don't know about the one term thing. I think that

480
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: it's going to land somewhere in the middle. It's not

481
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 1: the Ultramaga online vision of his leadership, nor is it

482
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: going to be you know Reagan, Paul Ryan, and you

483
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: know Marco Rubio. But obviously there's some Marco Rubio and

484
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: John Thune in the future. And given the fact that

485
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: the Trump election and the incoming administration is a marriage

486
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: of conservatism and disruptivism of the Trumpian sort that you

487
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: know everybody describes a little differently, but well we've all

488
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: been watching it.

489
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: I think that's perfectly appropriate. I I you know, you

490
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: can't chuck.

491
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: Everything that has been conservatism and claim to be at

492
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: all a conservative. I know, you know, I read the

493
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: emails from the your you know, some of your more

494
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: aggressive drain the swamp neo conservative not neo cons but

495
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the alt right whatever type

496
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: that have this dream of just chucking it all. But

497
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: you know, just chucking it all almost always results in

498
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: something worse. That's that's the point of conservatism. We go

499
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: with the stuff that actually works, and if we need

500
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: to tweak it in a Trump that's what's gonna happen.

501
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be one hundred percent one or

502
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: the other.

503
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 4: So this pundit went on to say, they're really going

504
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: to have to get Tulsi Gabbard or r Ifk confirmed

505
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 4: soon or the MAGA wing is gonna be unhappy. Well

506
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 4: to that point, this is just breaking news that a

507
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: Tulsi Gabbard D of Hawaii is in the mix to

508
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: be named Director of National Intelligence. Now in the mix

509
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: to be named might be throwing her name out there

510
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: to satisfy a certain crowd. If she gets named Director

511
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: of National Intelligence, that would be the MAGA wing.

512
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely. That would be disturbing. Yeah, I would because she's

513
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: she's she's fairly nutty on that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we'll

514
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: have to see. We will.

515
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: Are super intrigued by the Elon Vivek partnership. You haven't

516
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: given that it's full due in the government efficiency of the.

517
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: DOGE thing Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. Yeah, and it's

518
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: not going to be part of the government, So it

519
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: would seem that Trump is the chief executive, it probably

520
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 4: give them as much access as he can to all

521
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: the information they would need. Then they would make recommendations

522
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: because they won't have the power to do anything. And

523
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: that's where the rubber meets the road. But I'm all

524
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: for the recommendations.

525
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

526
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I think one of the key handicaps for some of

527
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: the great commissions and bipartisan groups that's been formed through

528
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: the years is when their reports come out, they just

529
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: don't get very much attention, correct, and they don't build

530
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: the sort of energy, speed, juice, you know, whatever you

531
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: want to use as a descriptor that actually moves the

532
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: ball down the field and the forces of gigantic, metastasizing

533
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: bureaucratic government win the day over and over again. I'm

534
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: thinking these guys, it might just be just too much

535
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: to ignore. Between Elon and his obvious status and Vivek,

536
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: who bothers me because he's off putting.

537
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: But he's an outstanding salesman.

538
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: He's a billionaire, he is he I don't know, I

539
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: think so super successful dude.

540
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Usually these blue ribbon commissions are led by

541
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: some senator or House member you've never heard of. And

542
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: then they make their speech and nobody cares. Elon will

543
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 4: have his platform of Twitter and the world's attention as

544
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: the world's are just man to come out and say, look,

545
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 4: this is how much we're wasting on this or that

546
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: or whatever.

547
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a big difference.

548
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: And the idea that never ending growth in spending, never

549
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: ending growth in debt, just spending our grandchildren's money, that

550
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: that is a cultural norm that can't change.

551
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: We just have to live with it. I reject that.

552
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think those guys might indeed get the

553
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: cultural current flowing in the other direction.

554
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: That's absolutely possible.

555
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Vivik's a billionaire, so for all his uh nutty

556
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: things that he he says, he obviously knows how to

557
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 4: run a business in a profitable way.

558
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: He's an excellent sales guy. I think that's his main skill.

559
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: Cool.

560
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: I hope he can sell the country on here's where

561
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 4: we can be more efficient and get some attention. We

562
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: will finish strong next. So on old Pete Hegzeth being

563
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: named nominated whatever you call it, for Secretary of Defense.

564
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 4: I just came across this from Mark Halprin's newsletter today.

565
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: Now he is somebody I trust as a straight shooter.

566
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: He doesn't have any skin in the game of pushing

567
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 4: forward somebody or not. He's just reporting what he's hearing

568
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 4: on the ground. So his little blurb about Pete Heggzeth

569
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: is this as a defense industry lobbyist asks Politico, who

570
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: the f is this guy? Okay, so that doesn't bother

571
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: me personally, Jack Armstrong, a defense industry lobbyist, not knowing

572
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: this person as a player that he could call in

573
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: favors on, that doesn't bother me, but goes on to

574
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: say Halpern writes, as someone who knows him well texted

575
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: me last night, I would not let this guy babysit

576
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 4: my kids. Let alone run the building and oversee US

577
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: forces around the world. Now, Halpurn would not print that

578
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: unless it was somebody he had some respect for their opinion.

579
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: It's impossible to say how far this will go.

580
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: But whether he gets a confirmation hearing or not, my

581
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: spidey sense says that Peter Hegzeth will not serve one

582
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 4: day in his life as Secretary of Defense.

583
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: So that's the reporting from Albert. Yeah, it's a surprising choice.

584
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, to run the most complicated bureaucracy on planet Earth.

585
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: But I don't have any skin in the game either.

586
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm just curious, honestly. Yeah, I don't have

587
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: an opinion on Pete one way or the other. He's

588
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: decent enough broadcaster. I think when we picture giant heists,

589
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: this is a story about a giant heist. Well, these days,

590
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I guess I would picture something electronic cyber scam, because

591
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: those are the biggest, you know, examples of thievery.

592
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 4: But the ski mask and a bat and some jewelry.

593
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: This is an amazing heist, if you will, if you

594
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: forgive the use of the term, two hundred million dollars

595
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: and ongoing, still going. And this is one of the

596
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: reasons so many countries, so many people invest in the

597
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: United States because we don't have craft like this going on.

598
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: This is story out of Columbia. Seven hundred yards deep

599
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: into the earth, in Columbia's richest gold mine, private security

600
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: guards crouch behind sandbags, trapped in a failing battle with

601
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: a drug trafficking gang that's commandeered thirty miles of tunnels

602
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: worth hundreds of miles of millions of dollars. Wow, gangs

603
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: are like taking over gold mines and running them because

604
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: the owners can't muster enough firepower.

605
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: To take them back. Yeah, that's clean jumpers back cracky. Yeah,

606
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: don't sleep on civilization. I'm ready to aga.

607
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 4: That was recently nominated for a Grammy. Here's your host

608
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

609
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: Let's get a.

610
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up today.

611
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be lovely? First of all, our technical director

612
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Michael Angelo has a final thought. Michael, I got to

613
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: seek out one of these rage rooms and try that.

614
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: The idea sounds great.

615
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Of smashing TV, smashing furniture, just just a great idea.

616
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, don't knocket till you've tried it. Katie Greener

617
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: esteemed to Newswoman as a final thought.

618
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 5: Katie, Okay, Michael Angelo, if you do that, we have

619
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: to get that on video some plodies. I would pay

620
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 5: a lot of money to see you in a rage room.

621
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Jack, do you have a final thought to share

622
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: with us?

623
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: I am suffering from PTSD today flashbacks last night helping

624
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 4: my son finish his big giant worth half the grade

625
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,040
