Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: You say a lot that's in some of your song lyrics.
Speaker 2: You want to tell us what it is to Vita.
Speaker 3: Means you either live your culture or you kill your culture,
Speaker 3: and there's no in between.
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: You see this this vanishing.
Speaker 2: Of cultures, of dialects.
Speaker 3: Of everything to just create this one generic human, you know,
Speaker 3: And it's really sad to me. So I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: up every day and I'm gonna live my culture today.
Speaker 3: I think it's every individual's responsibility to maintain who they
Speaker 3: are as a people.
Speaker 2: What was that nonsense? He was muttering in the middle.
Speaker 2: That was French Jackie language.
Speaker 4: That was Jordan Thibodeau, who was featured on sixty Minutes
Speaker 4: as part of a really interesting segment about essentially Cajun
Speaker 4: and similar music in that culture in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: They didn't mention.
Speaker 4: Jail breaks, but anyway, I thought that was a really
Speaker 4: interesting statement, you either live your culture or kill your culture,
Speaker 4: especially because I was corresponding with a friend of mine
Speaker 4: about my upcoming trip to London with my bride, and
Speaker 4: he sent along some commentary.
Speaker 2: About have you been brushing up in your English to
Speaker 2: get ready for it?
Speaker 4: Hilarious And it was a commentary on how Britain and Europe,
Speaker 4: having permitted rampant immigration that nobody voted for but the
Speaker 4: elite wanted, had caused enormous dislocating cultural problems. And it's
Speaker 4: something we've talked about several times, and pointing out that
Speaker 4: like the mayors of most of the big cities in
Speaker 4: Britain are all Muslims, inexplicably because they're still a fairly
Speaker 4: small minority, but there are hundreds of Sharia councils in
Speaker 4: Sharia courts and the rest of it in Britain. And
Speaker 4: I found that really intriguing.
Speaker 2: Which way to Buckingham Palace? It's right over there? Which
Speaker 2: way over there? Over there? Why are you talking like that?
Speaker 4: So I was for whatever reason that came within twenty
Speaker 4: four hours of hearing mister Thibadeau talking about you live
Speaker 4: your culture or you kill your culture.
Speaker 2: I always remember when I read the giant biography of
Speaker 2: Pope John Paul the Second, he was constantly saying languages
Speaker 2: culture talking about that it is they travel together, they
Speaker 2: just do. And if the language dies out, that culture
Speaker 2: has died out. And if you can and that's why
Speaker 2: that's why Russia goes in and forces people to speak
Speaker 2: Russian various languages in various areas, is because you use China.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you dare speak one of your ethnic languages in China,
Speaker 4: you will be hauled into re education.
Speaker 2: That's why it's so hilarious that we're so willing in
Speaker 2: the United States, so like turn over giant swass of
Speaker 2: the country to another language. We just put up signs
Speaker 2: in that language, start putting things in that language, and
Speaker 2: say that's fine, we don't care. We don't need to
Speaker 2: hang on to our language.
Speaker 4: Well exactly, you called it funny, and I get you're
Speaker 4: being kind of ironic, but I was just gonna say
Speaker 4: it is one of the more horrifying and obscene things
Speaker 4: I've observed in my life that we of the West Europe,
Speaker 4: in the United States and Canada, primarily the English speaking
Speaker 4: world and Europe have been convinced that we have the
Speaker 4: one culture that not only is not beautiful and worth
Speaker 4: preserving or awesome or successful or whatever, but it's evil
Speaker 4: and we deserve to have it stamped out. And anybody
Speaker 4: who doesn't participate in that stamping out enthusiastically is an
Speaker 4: awful person and should be shamed or forced out of
Speaker 4: their job or what have you. And you know, if
Speaker 4: you just look at England, never mind the United States,
Speaker 4: look at England. They've practically brought us democracy. It's existed
Speaker 4: in different forms in different places. But my god, the
Speaker 4: Magna Carta and the emergence of the parliament as a
Speaker 4: counter to the king and working with the monarch, and
Speaker 4: just over hundreds of years hammering out the details of
Speaker 4: how does a people self govern? Hm, and then that
Speaker 4: giving birth to the United States. I mean, you want
Speaker 4: to talk about a culture worth being proud of and preserving?
Speaker 4: How about British culture and it's off shoots? So do
Speaker 4: you have more you want to say on that topic?
Speaker 4: Before I get to my next this all came together
Speaker 4: like in the last three minutes in my head.
Speaker 2: Wow. So why would.
Speaker 4: Those who were browbeating us to flush our own culture
Speaker 4: down the toy, hate our own history, hate our own people.
Speaker 2: Why would they do that?
Speaker 4: I think a lot of you are probably a little
Speaker 4: bit ahead of me at this point. But I came
Speaker 4: across this this morning. It's a piece in the National
Speaker 4: Review and let's see. Oh, it's by the notorious MBD
Speaker 4: Michael Brendan Doherty, who came across some audio of Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 4: of all people, doing an interview at one of those
Speaker 4: never ending Look how smart and cool and.
Speaker 2: Rich we are speech athons. God who goes to those things?
Speaker 4: Well, it's a certain class of people. But I've never
Speaker 4: heard of most of these things. This is the ninety
Speaker 4: two and Why part of the Newmark Civic Life series.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the ninety two Street Why is a huge
Speaker 2: deal in New York. If you're important, they have those
Speaker 2: all the time. With Yeah, I see those on YouTube
Speaker 2: videos regularly. I've never been so.
Speaker 4: Hillary was jabbering about she launched into the screen, and
Speaker 4: we could get the audio, but it's better to shorten
Speaker 4: it because, you know, ramble a little bit. She launched
Speaker 4: into this, mocking the idea of the Trump administration or
Speaker 4: anybody else trying to get Americans to have more babies,
Speaker 4: and she's right in that it's ultimately going to fail.
Speaker 4: But she launches into a screed in which she says
Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud that the progressive, the affluent
Speaker 4: progressive lifestyle, however you want to describe it, lifestyle liberalism,
Speaker 4: certain forms of feminism. It's the privilege of affluent Americans
Speaker 4: and is supported by mass immigration, legal and illegal. Progressivism
Speaker 4: is not economically or socially sustainable, except if we import
Speaker 4: brown people and foreign people. She said, it's crazy trying
Speaker 4: to make America great again by returning to the lifestyles
Speaker 4: and the economic arrangements of not just the fifties. I mean,
Speaker 4: let's keep going back as far as we can. Nuclear family,
Speaker 4: return to being a Christian nation, a return to producing
Speaker 4: a lot of children.
Speaker 2: These are quotes, even though she says they alleged particularly
Speaker 2: offended her throwing out the nuclear family as something to
Speaker 2: give up on easily. Wow.
Speaker 4: Then she takes a shot of Republicans say that they
Speaker 4: have no interest in paid family leave or funding quality childcare,
Speaker 4: their cutting head start. But she said, it's sort of
Speaker 4: odd because the people who produce the most children in
Speaker 4: our country are immigrants, then they wanted to port them.
Speaker 2: None of this adds up. This is all a quote.
Speaker 4: In fact, one of the reasons why our economy did
Speaker 4: so much better than comparable advanced economies across the world
Speaker 4: is because we had lots of immigrants, legally and undocumented,
Speaker 4: who had a larger.
Speaker 2: Than normal by American standards family.
Speaker 4: So, quoting Doherty taken together, Clinton says that immigrants make
Speaker 4: the American lifestyle of today add up in part because
Speaker 4: of their higher birth rates. And she's right, although he
Speaker 4: later points out within two generations certainly three, immigrant birth
Speaker 4: rates plunge down to Native American birth I'd like.
Speaker 2: To also to point out the reality any neighborhood you
Speaker 2: ever lived in, Hillary, become primarily a different language speaking
Speaker 2: in the restaurant you used to go to, become a
Speaker 2: food and language that you don't know in your school,
Speaker 2: the teachers. She couldn't learn in schools because there are
Speaker 2: so many languages. When you go to the emergency room,
Speaker 2: a lot a lot of Spanish speaking or whatever. That
Speaker 2: really slows things down. That No, it doesn't happen to you.
Speaker 2: It's funny, it happens everybody else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, before he lost his mind, Tucker Carlson liked to
Speaker 4: talk about the protected and unprotected classes in America.
Speaker 2: That's the class divide.
Speaker 4: The protected are protected from their own policies and getting
Speaker 4: back to Doherty, she's more correct than she thinks. In
Speaker 4: a way, the affluent progressive lifestyle is also enabled by
Speaker 4: mass immigration, precisely because it outsources features of the say
Speaker 4: nineteen fifties homemaker mom or weekend dad, to immigrant labor landscaping,
Speaker 4: home cleaning, remodeling. Nights at the restaurant are cheaper than
Speaker 4: they would have been because of the influx of labor
Speaker 4: that's paid, that's paid under the table. Lifestyle progressivism is
Speaker 4: therefore directly at odds with former egalitarian progressivism, meaning standing
Speaker 4: up for the poor and the working classes. And he
Speaker 4: points out the problem is it's not sustainable, either politically
Speaker 4: or as a matter of math. But yeah, what they
Speaker 4: are touting is, and we've said this more or less
Speaker 4: for years, look for us to live the lifestyle we
Speaker 4: love of the modern progressive person, we need.
Speaker 2: Brown people to do the stupid stuff. That's a heck
Speaker 2: of a thing. Yeah, yeah, nobody's gonna notice this or
Speaker 2: talk about it. Bernie does. Oddly enough, Bernie's been.
Speaker 4: Tearing his wispy hair out over this, the betrayal of
Speaker 4: the poor in the working class by the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: But I thought it was interesting she came out and said, look,
Speaker 4: we the chosen need brown people and lots of.
Speaker 2: Them with their stupid baby making that is something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 4: And again, you know, to bring it back to the
Speaker 4: original premise, they're willing to sacrifice the American culture for this,
Speaker 4: and if you reckon with the fact that is linking
Speaker 4: another great thinkers have pointed out if the heart of
Speaker 4: the American people isn't with the Constitution, the constitution won't
Speaker 4: last a week. And on the other hand, if the
Speaker 4: heart of the American people is with our norms and
Speaker 4: beliefs and institutions, there's nothing that can tear it down.
Speaker 2: It's invincible.
Speaker 4: And these people, the elite, have chosen lifestyle over our principles.
Speaker 2: That's funny. This just popped into my head. I think
Speaker 2: this is a pretty good example. If I leave a
Speaker 2: note for my kids, like my high schooler, take out
Speaker 2: the trash before you go to school today, set it
Speaker 2: out by the curb, he will do it. But it's
Speaker 2: not because it's written out on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2: It's all the underlying culture that was built in our family.
Speaker 3: Of that.
Speaker 2: If I didn't have that, he could just look at
Speaker 2: that piece of paper and say whatever and not do it.
Speaker 4: The paper attorney and say you can't compel me to
Speaker 4: do this. The piece of paper is not what makes
Speaker 4: it happen. It's every it's everything leading up to that.
Speaker 2: So Jake Tapper went on making Kelly's show and she
Speaker 2: apparently grilled him kind of hard. Actually haven't heard this.
Speaker 2: I've just read about it. You got more on that
Speaker 2: whole deal. What's the number one TV show in America?
Speaker 2: Cheers is in the news today because George went and died.
Speaker 2: That used to be the number one show. The number
Speaker 2: one show now is the NFL, and they've got a
Speaker 2: rules change. Joe says, I want I want this explain
Speaker 2: to me as a cheek Kansas City Chiefs fan. I
Speaker 2: want an asterisk next to the last Super Bowl. I
Speaker 2: don't want that's explained to me among.
Speaker 4: All the football field likes the office, keep your hands
Speaker 4: off the tush.
Speaker 2: Okay, all this on the way, stay here. Time it
Speaker 2: is to be in New York City.
Speaker 4: I mean tomorrow is the start of Fleet Week and
Speaker 4: there's a Knicks playoff.
Speaker 2: Game at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 3: And thank god it's Fleet Week because if the NIXT win,
Speaker 3: will need all the military.
Speaker 2: Help we can get Clee Week will be fun for
Speaker 2: Knicks fans after the game. Instead of cars, they can
Speaker 2: try to flip over a tank. Yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 2: a funny joke. I'll be watching. Who do you like
Speaker 2: Nick Pacers? There, Michael, I'm gonna go with the Knicks.
Speaker 2: During the nineties, Knicks Pacers was.
Speaker 4: The baddest, bloodiest rivalry in basketabbsolutely.
Speaker 2: God, those were great games. Reggie Miller ewing Spike Lee.
Speaker 2: Those were fun. Those were really fun to watch. Spike
Speaker 2: Lee played well. He was there yelling at the player
Speaker 2: and the player taunting. That's right, Jayler. We get into
Speaker 2: joint which Reggie Miller would make up three. He would
Speaker 2: point it spuckily. It was fantastic. Wow. And it was
Speaker 2: so physical back in the day. Oh so that's one
Speaker 2: sport there that doesn't actually get very good ratings. Depends
Speaker 2: on what teams are in It's similar to Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: It's more of a regional sport. If your team's in it,
Speaker 2: you watch. If they aren't, you don't. Where's the NFL
Speaker 2: you watch, no matter what, doesn't matter. If you've never
Speaker 2: been to the state where the two teams are playing,
Speaker 2: you just you're interested. And every game matters, which is
Speaker 2: kind of cool. But my Kansas City Chiefs lost the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles in part because of
Speaker 2: the famous tush push in which the Giant asked Eagles
Speaker 2: who what was the average weight of their life?
Speaker 4: And they were not the size of the ass. That's
Speaker 4: the operative question here. The average weight of the linement
Speaker 4: is enormous.
Speaker 2: Well, it was the heaviest. It was the heaviest line
Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL. That is just a fact.
Speaker 2: They were like fifteen hundred pounds of the beefy manhoods
Speaker 2: don't see any need for body shaming, and if they
Speaker 2: needed a couple of yards, they would just every single
Speaker 2: time get it by the leaning. Well what did they do?
Speaker 2: What is the touchdowns?
Speaker 4: Essentially everybody surges forward and several players get behind the runner,
Speaker 4: be it the quarterback. In most cases it's almost always
Speaker 4: the quarterback and shove.
Speaker 2: Him into the end zone.
Speaker 4: The beauty of it, like most quarterback sneaks, is it
Speaker 4: unfolds extremely quickly, so the offense has an advantage because
Speaker 4: the defense doesn't know exactly when the ball is going
Speaker 4: to be snapped.
Speaker 2: The snap count, as we say in the football business.
Speaker 4: But the fact that no matter how stout the defense is,
Speaker 4: they can't cluster as many people in the center right
Speaker 4: up front as the offense can in effect. And I
Speaker 4: don't want to get too into football strategy, but trust
Speaker 4: me and I say that, because otherwise you can fake it.
Speaker 2: And run around the end. Nobody would be There'd be easy.
Speaker 4: But in six the NFL officials and owners and all
Speaker 4: got together, as they do every year, to take a
Speaker 4: look at the league of the league rules and they
Speaker 4: just made one little tiny housekeeping change. They almost never
Speaker 4: called a penalty for pushing the runner, the offense pushing
Speaker 4: the runner, and so they just eliminated it because it
Speaker 4: almost never ever came up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember it coming up in any game ever.
Speaker 4: I watched right as Mike Prer, the famous NFL Vice
Speaker 4: president of fishiating at the time, said it was an afterthought.
Speaker 4: Removing basically one word ended up creating a fast fiasco.
Speaker 4: Years afterward, however, somebody figured out that they could do
Speaker 4: that now legally, and as we saw in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: The problem is, since the defense doesn't know the snap count,
Speaker 4: they've got to go at first sound and over and
Speaker 4: over again. They get encroachment penalties for jumping before the
Speaker 4: ball is moved, and after a while the refkin just
Speaker 4: can award a touchdown to the offense because the damn
Speaker 4: defense keeps making these penalties and so it's it's untenable,
Speaker 4: it can't work.
Speaker 2: So they basically have outlawed the tush push. I think
Speaker 2: they're about to, which means those would be an asterisk
Speaker 2: next to the Eagles win. And the Chiefs actually probably
Speaker 2: would have won if he didn't have the despite the
Speaker 2: fact that they were down like forty two zero and
Speaker 2: a half or whatever it was.
Speaker 4: Asterisk spelled with two s's upfront. That's right, Yes to
Speaker 4: that as chief history, Yes, pushes on the ass cheeks
Speaker 4: of history. Right, So anyway, Yes, say goodbye, probably to
Speaker 4: the tush push.
Speaker 2: H Taylor Shop's boyfriend Travis Kelsey is coming back to
Speaker 2: camp having lost a ton of weight. He kind of
Speaker 2: got a little doweye, and so he's going around in
Speaker 2: his fancy clothes with his girlfriend there last couple of seasons.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 4: I wonder if she said, Travy, you're looking a little porky.
Speaker 4: He took the hint I'm gonna swing with the superstar.
Speaker 4: I gotta be I gotta be low body fat, so
Speaker 4: she doesn't hook up with a backup dance.
Speaker 2: He took off his shirt one night and she went, you, oh, no,
Speaker 2: you don't know she has high standards, does she?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: Jake Tapper getting beat up by some people as he
Speaker 2: makes arounds, God, he should Oh yeah. It's incredible that
Speaker 2: he's getting away with making money off of telling a
Speaker 2: story that he should have told us for free at
Speaker 2: the time. As John Stewart said, right, we got more
Speaker 2: on that coming up in a little bit Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: This is this is a big theme in the book
Speaker 6: that they were lying, not just to press and not
Speaker 6: just to the country. They were lying to cabinet secretaries,
Speaker 6: democrats in Congress. I'm not excusing any of these people,
Speaker 6: but I'm just saying, and in many ways I think
Speaker 6: they were also lying to themselves.
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody's excusing those people. That there's not
Speaker 2: a demand and outcry who who knew who was lying? Yeah,
Speaker 2: name names, there's there's just there's still no pressure on anybody,
Speaker 2: the media, the people around Biden, or Biden and his
Speaker 2: wife and son themselves. There's just I don't feel like
Speaker 2: it's It's like it's like we're watching a TV show
Speaker 2: and getting the information about it right in our great
Speaker 2: question has yet to be answered. Noy. That satisfies me.
Speaker 4: Jake, two hundred and fifty million people knew you didn't.
Speaker 4: What is it about you and your brothers and sisters
Speaker 4: in the media that makes you so blind to that
Speaker 4: which is plainly obvious to the rest of it. That's
Speaker 4: the compelling question in terms of the media for me.
Speaker 2: Good that you brought up that angle. That's perfect for
Speaker 2: the other The co author of the book, Alex Thompson,
Speaker 2: who's not getting enough attention, he was interviewed and talked
Speaker 2: about that subject a little bit.
Speaker 7: I had one conversation with someone. This was after the
Speaker 7: election while we were reporting this book, and this person said, listen, yes,
Speaker 7: we deserve.
Speaker 2: Blame for XYZ. We were hiding him. We were.
Speaker 7: But this person also sorted, go on my face and
Speaker 7: they said, listen, the media deserves some blame too, Like
Speaker 7: we were sort of amazed at some of the stuff
Speaker 7: we were able to spin.
Speaker 2: Aga went on.
Speaker 4: They in some waysin Robert complaining, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 7: Just like you guys. You guys should not have believed us.
Speaker 7: So easily, and I thought that was like a really
Speaker 7: interesting But I also think that's true.
Speaker 2: I think I think the.
Speaker 7: Media in a lot of ways just was not skeptical
Speaker 7: enough and did not remember the lesson that they do
Speaker 7: it to different degrees, but every.
Speaker 2: White House lies, including my co author who led the prey. Anyway,
Speaker 2: thank you. How about the Biden inner circle going to
Speaker 2: Imitan And I can't believe you guys bought this. I mean,
Speaker 2: we were trying to spin you. We didn't think it'd work,
Speaker 2: but we marched him out there, you know, once a month,
Speaker 2: and he embarrassed himself, and you guys like would ignore that.
Speaker 2: What's the matter with you? One example, my lord, One
Speaker 2: example I got from the book because I'm still reading
Speaker 2: the book. This was in This was in early in
Speaker 2: the first term. I mean, it's hilarious that he ran
Speaker 2: again early in the first term when he was supposed
Speaker 2: to go to the House Democrats exactly the same scenarios yesterday,
Speaker 2: only in reverse, the way Trump went to the House
Speaker 2: Republicans yesterday and and and gave him the speech about
Speaker 2: why you need to vote for this bill, the first
Speaker 2: big Biden bill. Nancy Pelosi invited Biden to come speak
Speaker 2: to all the House Democrats, explained to them why they
Speaker 2: needed to vote for his big bill one. He never
Speaker 2: asked them to vote for the bill, And Nancy was like,
Speaker 2: what the hell was that? He rambled on for a really, really,
Speaker 2: really long time about all kinds of different stuff, then left,
Speaker 2: and Nancy and the other leadership were like, what was that?
Speaker 2: He never bought the bill, He never asked. He forgot
Speaker 2: why he was there. He forgot why he was there.
Speaker 2: But I liked this part. Joe Biden came in and
Speaker 2: then gave his long rambling speech, quoted Negro league pitcher
Speaker 2: Satchel Page, who had played into his fifties. How old
Speaker 2: would you be if you didn't know how old you were?
Speaker 2: One House Democrat called Biden's remarks incomprehensible. Biden left without
Speaker 2: making the ask this is early in term one. Yes,
Speaker 2: HiT's only hits him with that Satchel Page a quote
Speaker 2: at the end and then walks on ahead. When one
Speaker 2: leading Democrats said he's incomprehensible because he was Wow, I
Speaker 2: find that pretty funny anyway, So I've got to start
Speaker 2: watching making Kelly's show. You know I would, but I
Speaker 2: would have the slightest idea where it is? Don't there
Speaker 2: are no other shows? Where are all my favorite people
Speaker 2: go on it? Rich Lowry and Charlie Cook and Mark
Speaker 2: Halprin and like all these people that I really really
Speaker 2: like her on it? And I don't know where to
Speaker 2: find it? Is it on YouTube? Or are we charging
Speaker 2: her for this commercial or what not? Commercial? I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: As we mentioned news shows all the time, Where do
Speaker 2: you find it? I want to watch it? Do I
Speaker 2: watch it? Or to listen to it? It's an audiocast,
Speaker 2: it's a podcast. Okay, you listened to it anyway. She
Speaker 2: had Jake tapperon. I'm surprised he went on her show. Actually,
Speaker 2: and here's a little other exchange.
Speaker 1: You didn't ask him about it. You didn't follow up
Speaker 1: on the fact that he was falling up the stairs,
Speaker 1: that he was losing his train of thought regularly, that
Speaker 1: he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was
Speaker 1: getting lost on the White House lawn. You sat right
Speaker 1: across from him, and you asked none of that, notwithstanding
Speaker 1: the fact that he had promised you he would be
Speaker 1: fully transparent about his health issues.
Speaker 5: That's true, but I did ask him about his age,
Speaker 5: and the fact that the American people had concluded that
Speaker 5: even though he said whenever anybody brought up the subject
Speaker 5: of his age, watched me, and I said, yes, they're
Speaker 5: watching you, and they are concerned you're too old for
Speaker 5: this job.
Speaker 2: You know as well as I do that.
Speaker 1: There's a way of you can say, hey, there's his
Speaker 1: poll on your age, or you could say you just
Speaker 1: forgot that Jackie Woolarski was dead.
Speaker 2: You asked where she.
Speaker 1: Was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her. You
Speaker 1: lowered the flags at the White House after she died.
Speaker 1: This happened thirteen days before you.
Speaker 2: Sat with him.
Speaker 1: There is a way of pressing a man like that
Speaker 1: on the actual infirmities, to bring it home to him
Speaker 1: and to the audience.
Speaker 2: And you didn't do it, That's correct. I didn't.
Speaker 5: And like I said, I feel humility about my coverage.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not like I was asking him his
Speaker 5: favorite movie or his favorite color. We were talking about
Speaker 5: Oh Putin, we were talking about other issues of national importance.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, of course, I've said I look
Speaker 5: back at my coverage with humility, and I wish I
Speaker 5: did cover the issues of age and acuity.
Speaker 2: But I wish I had covered him.
Speaker 4: I'm done much more us like a comprehension test in
Speaker 4: third grade. All right, now answer this question. What phrase
Speaker 4: was Jake Tapper taught by his new PR company.
Speaker 2: All right? If you said I look back with humility,
Speaker 2: you're right. You You soured on Jake Tapper a long
Speaker 2: time ago. I was holding on to the fact that
Speaker 2: so many people I like like him as a person.
Speaker 2: It has gone now that that was a horse s
Speaker 2: that is complete one horse s. Wow. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think he got to check the I'm a journalist's box.
Speaker 4: I asked him about his age, but without ever ruffling
Speaker 4: a feather.
Speaker 2: Well, right, as Megan Kelly explained, there the way you
Speaker 2: did it, and this is the sizzle reel that the
Speaker 2: book company has put out to show how Jake Tapper
Speaker 2: held their feet to the fire poles. Show your most
Speaker 2: Americans think you're too old. He would present that, let
Speaker 2: them shoot it down, then change the subject, as opposed
Speaker 2: to what Megan Kelly just said. There a week ago,
Speaker 2: you called out to a dead woman moments after talking
Speaker 2: about her being dead.
Speaker 4: Right, he wasn't an inquisitor, he was a volleyball setter,
Speaker 4: he would set the up. Joe Biden could spike it exactly,
Speaker 4: then they would move on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's Jackie and Jackie you're here and Jackie
Speaker 2: Jackie's with God, Sir, I don't I say this about
Speaker 2: a lot of people, about a lot of things. I
Speaker 2: don't know how he sleeps at night doing these interviews
Speaker 2: and lying like this and then going home another good
Speaker 2: day at work. I went around and embarrassed myself, obviously lying, ah,
Speaker 2: I think I'll hit the hay.
Speaker 4: What because back to bubble theory, his coworkers, his bosses,
Speaker 4: his friends, his kids' parents at their.
Speaker 2: Expensive private school. I don't know if he even has kids.
Speaker 2: They all it' said, great job, Jake, great job. That's
Speaker 2: what a bubble is like. I wish one person would
Speaker 2: come out, one high level person, like a Jake Tapper somebody,
Speaker 2: and say I hated Trump so much. I deluded myself
Speaker 2: to an incredible level. I mean it should be obvious
Speaker 2: to me to anyone. I didn't ask hard questions because
Speaker 2: I was worried it would help Trump. I was trying
Speaker 2: to make sure Trump didn't go I wish somebody would say.
Speaker 4: That, Wow, that was beautifully simply put, and I think
Speaker 4: that person would get at least a little sympathy for
Speaker 4: finally being honest about it.
Speaker 2: But he's doing it. It's like remember when jose Canseko
Speaker 2: came out and said, yeah, I did steroids, did steroids
Speaker 2: all day long, every kind you can possibly do, and
Speaker 2: everybody else's two. He didn't come out and say everybody
Speaker 2: else is doing steroids, not me, but everybody else is
Speaker 2: doing steroids, and I think it's appalling. I look back.
Speaker 4: With humility on the steroid era, for I too was
Speaker 4: touched by it and perhaps became part of it in
Speaker 4: a way that I look back with humility.
Speaker 2: Act.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I loved your little speech there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, I hated Trump so much I was afraid to
Speaker 4: admit anything was wrong with Biden or good about Trump,
Speaker 4: so I just didn't. Anyway, I found this really interesting. God,
Speaker 4: the fact that he might make has anybody heard the number?
Speaker 4: He's probably making literally millions of dollars off of this book.
Speaker 2: I'll have to lock it up. He probably got an
Speaker 2: enormous advance. How about the advance was huge?
Speaker 4: And Alex Thompson, who's a real reporter who was critical
Speaker 4: of Biden's enility at the time has got to be thinking,
Speaker 4: what a weird, fed up business this is that I've
Speaker 4: got to have a celebrity dope on the cover with
Speaker 4: me just to get any attention.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I found this very very interesting James Taranto, Toronto
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal talking about how the twenty fifth Amendment,
Speaker 4: section four, which is the get rid of the president
Speaker 4: because he's senile, section, how it would actually worked. And
Speaker 4: he pointed out that if Biden had won a second term,
Speaker 4: there would have come a point, maybe this week, with
Speaker 4: the diagnosis of aggressive metastatic cross state cancer, when his
Speaker 4: inability would have become just completely impossible to deny, even
Speaker 4: over the Jake Tappers of the world, and even the
Speaker 4: Jill Biden's of the world, who is completely fruit low
Speaker 4: Sha so crazy. And he says invoking Section four of
Speaker 4: the twenty fifth Amendment would be tenable as well as appropriate,
Speaker 4: but it could produce an ugly stalemate. And this is
Speaker 4: the part I enjoyed the clarification on It reminded me
Speaker 4: of classes I took. Contrary to popular beliefs, Section four
Speaker 4: does not provide for the VEEP to become the president.
Speaker 2: All it does is gives the.
Speaker 4: Viep the temporary assumption of the powers and duties of
Speaker 4: the office of as acting president. The president continues to
Speaker 4: hold the office until the end of the term or
Speaker 4: until he dies, resigns, or is impeached and convicted, or
Speaker 4: gets better.
Speaker 2: Could he get better? Exactly? So here's the deal.
Speaker 4: Section four provides that the president can contest a finding
Speaker 4: of inability via a written declaration of Congress.
Speaker 2: My senility is better, he would say the vat listen, bow,
Speaker 2: you're gonna end for a problem I mess America. You
Speaker 2: can gain for the brablem.
Speaker 4: Riv Anyway, the Vice President of the Cabinet of the
Speaker 4: Cabinet have four days to respond, whereupon Congress is required
Speaker 4: to vote within twenty one days. Sustaining the decision to
Speaker 4: strip the president of his powers requires two thirds of
Speaker 4: each chamber, both chambers, which means that one third of
Speaker 4: either chamber would be sufficient for him to regain power
Speaker 4: one third plus one. So it's like a every so often,
Speaker 4: you gotta vote again. Do we keep him in the
Speaker 4: presidential penalty box or let him out?
Speaker 2: Now here's where it gets hinteresting and Shimmy's in chains
Speaker 2: in the basement. During this entire time. Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: according to the constitution. But so every few weeks they'd
Speaker 2: have to redo it.
Speaker 4: But that wouldn't end the matter, And then we engage
Speaker 4: in a little what if hurriy. But it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 4: There is one presidential power that is impossible for the
Speaker 4: vice president to exercise as acting president, the power to
Speaker 4: nominate a new vice president under Section two of the
Speaker 4: twenty fifth Amendment, and that's triggered only by a quote
Speaker 4: unquote vacancy in the office of the Vice President.
Speaker 2: So what if something.
Speaker 4: Happened to Kamala Harris while she was acting president The
Speaker 4: president's in the penalty box, the acting president was run
Speaker 4: over by the beast when it was backing up.
Speaker 2: They had that extra glass of wine rolled down the
Speaker 2: stairs at her.
Speaker 4: Head right exactly and passed God Rest her soul. So
Speaker 4: the twenty fifth doesn't amendment doesn't answer that question, But
Speaker 4: the succession Clause does.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: So the Presidential Succession Act in nineteen forty seven and
Speaker 4: says the House Speaker is next in line between behind
Speaker 4: the vice president. Now that raises an interesting situation. So
Speaker 4: Mike Johnson becomes acting president and then every few weeks
Speaker 4: the senile, Joe Biden reapplies for his old job back.
Speaker 4: Democrats in the Cabinet and Congress are looking at do
Speaker 4: we let Mike Johnson continue to be the acting president,
Speaker 4: or do.
Speaker 2: We act like Joe Biden is coachin again? Pressure Do
Speaker 2: we put the obviously enfeebled president back in there? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a tough one. And then so they haven't.
Speaker 4: They'd have to put my bust been wet back in
Speaker 4: the offal office long enough to anoint a new vice president,
Speaker 4: then hopefully resign unless he wanders off and is you know,
Speaker 4: not seen again.
Speaker 2: But anyway, none of this happened.
Speaker 4: I just thought it was an interesting reminder of how
Speaker 4: the system actually works. It's it's more a penalty box
Speaker 4: than a removal. We got more on this, we'll get
Speaker 4: to a little bit later. It is one of the
Speaker 4: biggest scandals in US history. It should be treated that way. Anyway,
Speaker 4: A lot more on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 8: A maintenance worker at the New Orleans jail where ten
Speaker 8: inmates escaped all at once, now charged with helping in
Speaker 8: the scheme. Strolling Williams accused of shutting off the water
Speaker 8: before inmates dis launched a toilet and crawled out through
Speaker 8: a hole in the wall Friday morning, a court after
Speaker 8: David says Williams told investigators an inmate threatened to shake
Speaker 8: him if he refused.
Speaker 2: Well, that sucks. Uh, that's a tough situation to be in.
Speaker 2: So uh on that you believe the guy. Well, there's that,
Speaker 2: and then there's the later in that news report somebody said, well,
Speaker 2: he had the opportunity to, you know, to come to
Speaker 2: authorities and say I'm being threatened.
Speaker 4: True, or anytime in the eight hours after they fled,
Speaker 4: Say hey, by the way, these guys just fled.
Speaker 2: Boy, I don't know, though. That's a tough you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. You probably got family, They might know
Speaker 2: where your family is. They're murderers, yeah, true, But yeah,
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen at every other jail in the country. True. Yes, Kay.
Speaker 2: Guys want to get out of their jails too. So
Speaker 2: there's an a Twitter thread of videos of the arrests
Speaker 2: of the five so far that they've found. One of
Speaker 2: the guys got all messed up, passed out on a
Speaker 2: park bench and the cops walked up and they're like, okay,
Speaker 2: but then they realized it was the guy. It's hard
Speaker 2: to imagine that with that kind of judgment that he
Speaker 2: ever wound up incarcerated. Wow, you got out, You passed
Speaker 2: out on a park mention, got caught. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: go back to jail now, you idiot. Wow yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I believe the duty. That's a pretty
Speaker 2: good excuse. Two dumb things for you. The popular British
Speaker 2: television show Peppa Pig, which is for children. It's a
Speaker 2: kid's cartoon, announced that its main character would soon be
Speaker 2: jooned on the show by a new baby sister. That's
Speaker 2: what you do when a show is starting to flag,
Speaker 2: You got to bring in a baby. Pepa Pig is
Speaker 2: going to have a baby's sister, so look forward to
Speaker 2: that if you got kids. Also came across this. Martinis
Speaker 2: are shrinking in New York City because of what they're
Speaker 2: calling ozempic cocktails. People who can't on no zempic having
Speaker 2: lost a bunch of weight, they can't handle as much booze,
Speaker 2: so they make the cocktails smaller.
Speaker 4: Or they want less because decreases your desire for several
Speaker 4: different things, including boots to escape life.
Speaker 2: It descreases your desire to escape life. That's what the
Speaker 2: martinis for to escape the drudgery of life, right, the dull,
Speaker 2: flat truth of everyday life, as Faukner called it. Anyway,
Speaker 2: they're shrinking, but the prices or not. It might just
Speaker 2: be an inflation thing. I don't know. We got more
Speaker 2: on the biggest scandal in the history of America perhaps,
Speaker 2: and who was lying about what and what a crackhead
Speaker 2: Biden was and how much pressure that put the president
Speaker 2: under in their intervention. That's kind of interesting stuff in
Speaker 2: the book.
Speaker 4: Plus why does students cheat so much using artificial intelligence
Speaker 4: because they're lazy slobs and you raise them poorly. Is
Speaker 4: there any way to stop them from cheating? And should
Speaker 4: we even be trying?
Speaker 2: There's no way to stop them from trying, or don't
Speaker 2: answer the questions in advance Armstrong and Getty
