WEBVTT - She's Draining Our Accounts From Space

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast.

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty, and he.

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong and Getty, and finally, residents of western Ohio reported

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 3>seeing a rare black squirrel with a white tail and

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 3>white pause. That's right, some people in Ohio saw a cat.

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I'm looking at my bank of televisions like

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.959
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to before five televisions, and we're fortunate that

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>we can do whatever we want. We can talk about

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 2>whatever we want, although obviously we have the goal of

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about things you're interested in. That's kind of how

0:00:54.880 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the business works. But everybody but Fox is leading the

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>hour with some version of the Epstein story, and there's

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of new stuff. There's a lot of new

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 2>stuff that I find somewhat interesting actually for the first

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>time maybe ever in this whole saga. But everybody and

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Fox is going with the new revelations about the crazy

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>kid that tried to assassinate Trump and almost did the

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>crooks person. So Fox has decided not to lead with Epstein.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess because Trump's Name's attached to it. I don't

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>know AnyWho more on that later. So this Thomas Crooks person,

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you remember, he climbed up on the roof there in Butler, Pennsylvania. Amazingly,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>he was able to climb up on a roof with

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>a high powered rifle. People everywhere, people saw him, perfect

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>line of sight to the President of the United States

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and squeeze off quite a few shots. And it's just

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>freaking luck that he didn't blow Donald Trump's head off

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>in front of all of us and change world history.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, seriously, change world history. All of the Middle

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>East stuff would be completely different. Obviously, the economy, tariffs,

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>all that sort of stuff, completely different. Sure, one hundred examples, yeah,

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>a hundred examples, and then playing out in ways that

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll never know AnyWho. Thomas Crooks. We now know more

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>about him. And the big question from Miranda Divine of

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the New York Post is one of their lead reporters,

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>she broke the hundred laptop story. The big question is

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>why was this stuff kept from us earlier? Is there

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a reason for that? Some of the stuff that is

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>out from Miranda Divines reporting Thomas Crooks had all kinds

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>of different accounts out there and platforms that he was

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>going on a lot of this reporting has been done

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>by people just like regular people out there figuring this

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>stuff out and why the ect mean if I'm wrong.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 4>The official word in the wake of his arrest and identification,

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 4>well and death, was that he really had no online presence, mysterious.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>He was ghost, they called him. He had no online previence, presence,

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and not really any political any of this or that.

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>It turns out actually he was a hardcore Trump supporter,

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like really a big Trump supporter. We'll talk

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>more about that in a second. Some of these posts

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and then flipped at some point. Nobody's exactly sure why

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>to a Trump hater, but sources use publicly available research

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 2>tools to link multiple email addresses to crooks and then

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>found usernames associated with those emails on all kinds of sites,

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>including YouTube, Snapchat, PayPal, discord, chess, dot com, Korra, deviant Art,

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and others. So he had quite a presence on lots

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>of different sites, used in different names, and it didn't

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>sound like it took super geniuses to figure out was him.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Why the multi gazillion dollar FBI Secret Service investigation into

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>this after he almost killed the president didn't uncover this

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff well, That's what the question is here, and I'm

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>sure a lot of people would answer yelling at their

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>uh listening device because the authorities didn't want to know

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>that or didn't want to tell you that.

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Although having gotten to the end of this, I'm not

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>sure what narrative to take away other than this guy

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 4>was nuts.

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>But the FBI has not confirmed the details of Kirk's

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>possible social media accounts and did not respond to a request.

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Does he have to remember the investigation would have happened

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>under the Biden administration FBI. Well, the Trump FBI is

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>not commenting on it, and it might just be because

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 2>they don't know what to say yet. But well, to

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>your point, though, is there anything satisfying the whole What

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>was his motive? Thing almost always turns out to be

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>they were a crazy, angry person, was their motive. But

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>we still should have known all this stuff. His early

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 2>online presence, when he would have been in high school

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>was almost exclusively plote pro Trump, while he also made

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>a number of violently anti Semitic comments and racist remarks

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>about Hispanic immigrants. I'll quote him now. I've always believed

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>being patriotic was lining up a bunch of socialists, Jews

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 2>like the ones that booed Trump and blasting their useless

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>brains out with an ar You don't think that that's

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>something that the we should have heard about the guy

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>if he's out there saying that in social media. A

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>YouTube account featuring Crooks's full name posted in the comments

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>under a clip of Trump being booed during the twenty

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>nineteen World Series in Washington. That's where he made that post.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>So he did obscure it by having his entire name

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 2>on the comment on YouTube, the most used platform in

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the world, right right, nobody. That's quite a trail too

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>under Israel name. Every one of the Trump hating Democrats

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 2>deserves to have their heads chopped off and put on

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>stakes for the world to see what happens when you

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>f with America, he said on one comment under an

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>MSNBC clip from July at twenty nineteen. I mean, this

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>is a guy spewing threats and violence. Shouldn't have been

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 2>on somebody's radar. I don't know how much I'm gonna

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>how I don't know how any violent threats you can

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 2>make on social media without in and up on some

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of FBI watch list or secret service this or

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that or whatever I don't actually know.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 4>And specifically political assassination under his real name, flagged by

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 4>users who mentioned law enforcement in their replies.

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 2>He also described in detail how he would use an

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>assault rifle against a crowd of political opponents, frequently quoting

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the line the only true political power comes from the

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>barrel of a gun. That's from Chairman mau and crooks

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 2>made violent threats against Democratic members of the Squad, Well,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking a Democrat led White House and a squad

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>friendly media. If somebody was out there making violent threats

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 2>against the squad, that would have bubbled up somehow.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess the internet is just too vast. Nobody

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.239
<v Speaker 4>with any connections noticed.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 2>I guess. I hope a quick and painful death to

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>all the deplorable immigrants and anti Trump cong women who

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 2>don't deserve anything this country has given them, he wrote

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 2>in July of twenty nineteen, But in twenty twenty, in

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the COVID pandemic, he appeared to make

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.239
<v Speaker 2>a one hundred and eighty degree turn in his views

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>on Trump. I'm pretty sure people are just racist, and

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Trump is one of them. There does not need to

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>be a deep state for that, he said on a

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>YouTube comment, Okay, there wasn't any reasonable defense for Trump,

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 2>he said. It's around this time that he started posting

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>violent artworks, According to sources, One piece titled how He

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Lost his Eye from June to twenty twenty three and

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>shared on deviant Art, shows a figured clad in black

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>executing another figure in front of a blue and pink

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>backdrop matching the colors of the trans Pride flag. He

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>had his pronouns in some various things, ay them. I'm

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>told that doesn't really mean anything, though I know plenty

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>of people that I know for a fact aren't really

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>down with the trans thing, but have their pronouns on

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 2>headline stuff because they can't ask.

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, he wouldn't be, but he wouldn't be listing in

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 4>his pronouns as they them.

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Of course. You know, again the takeaway because.

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 4>He flipped then and was just vicious to Trump supporters

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 4>called him sheep and cult and your two brainwashed to

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 4>realize how dumb you are.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 2>This is in twenty twenty.

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 4>So you know, he's just an angry, angry, disturbed young man.

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>His personal YouTube and Google searches also reveal a pattern

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>of violence and an obsession with guns and famous assassinations,

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>which is often common with assassins. Between twenty nineteen and

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, he made searches for Lee Harvey Oswald's killer

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Jack Ruby, the Oklahoma bombing, the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando,

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>among other attacks. He also searched how to fire an

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>AR fifteen as fast as possible, as well as how

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>to make a fertilizer bomb in a moll of cocktail.

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>He repeatedly looked for information related to body armor, high

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>velocity AMMO, and riot control. He was probably thinking about

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 2>doing something. He wasn't just quite sure why yet. And

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>then I'm guessing he heard, Hey, the President's coming to town.

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I know what I'll do, right exactly?

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I think maybe the fundamental question here is

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know the answer, but it's well, I'll

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 4>just ask the question, how did why did the authorities

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 4>claim that this guy was an online ghost and there's

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 4>nothing knowable about him when you know amateur sleuths.

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Granted some time has passed.

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure why this is coming out now, frankly,

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 4>but when there is all sorts of information about this guy,

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 4>it might not lead you in a helpful direction per se.

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't think it does.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Although he's a big fan of terrorism, sneaking bombs in

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 4>and shooting people and the rest of it. Looking at

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 4>another one of his quotes, how is it that that

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 4>was not found fairly quickly by our authorities?

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 2>That's troubling. I naively have this view of if somebody

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 2>almost kills the former president about to be next president,

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 2>there is no rock unturned in terms of figuring this out.

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Apparently there were lots of rocks that were unturned. We

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 2>got to get to this before we run out of time.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you my favorite part about muscle mommies next.

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>And this has got no significance other than we learn

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>a new term. I'm sorry that sounded like you said

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>muscle mommies. Yes, I will, I will stay tuned.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Did you know that hackers like me love the holidays? Bastards,

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 4>fake shipping emails, sketchy social media stores, two good, be true.

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Black Friday deals. That's how they lure you in.

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 4>They get you, then they steal your information, and instead

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 4>of enjoying the holidays, you're desperately on the phone with

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 4>your bank trying to figure out if you have any

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 4>money left.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because this time of year, practically everybody you probably

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>have a package going somewhere by FedEx or UPS. Right,

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>so you get a fake UPS email saying your package

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 2>is delayed, and you think, oh crap, and then you

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 2>click on it before you realize it's fake. Well, that's

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 2>why you need webroot total protection. It's an all in

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>one coverage, anti virus, real time protection, password manager, identity monitoring,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 2>even a VPN, and then the dark web monitoring alone

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>is worth it. You'll actually know if your info is

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 2>being traded out there on the dark web.

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 4>And its identity protection for your whole family, from the

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 4>kids tablets to Grandma's laptop. And right now, Webroot is

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 4>giving you good people sixty percent off. That's right, sixty

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.679

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Krook apparently had a muscle mommy fetish and repeatedly searched

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>for videos about female bodybuilders and muscular women. So like

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>older women who are really big and really muscular, and

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>then in some of the art where it's not real women,

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>they're like ten feet tall and giant, towering over him,

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing. This is also from The New

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 2>York Post's Miranda Divine. Krook's had two possible accounts on

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>deviant Art for people who identify as anthropomorphized animal characters

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>that'd be furries and are sexually attracted to them. And

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>then he's got one post repost of a towering muscular

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>female bodybuilder and a slight man in his underwear looking

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:13.359
<v Speaker 2>up at her, multiple searches for muscular women and female bodybuilders.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 2>That's known as muscle mommies, and he apparently had a

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>fanger obsession with that and the furries and furries. So

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe God went back and forth between kind of tonight,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm into muscle mommies, tomorrow furry or maybe maybe like

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a muscle mommy dressed up as a grizzly bear. I

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 4>He's like a two sport athlete in terms of perversion

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 4>or variation.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen the actual muscle mommy picture? I have

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 2>not set they post on there. It's a very large,

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 2>very large woman in a bikini, attractive but like the

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>size of an NFL football player. He was a slightly

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 2>built little fella too. Yeah. And then this picture she

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>is flexing in her bikini over this slight man. That

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>could be him, I guess, And that's wonder what that

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 2>is and be like lifted up and bench pressed by

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>a muscular checker. I think he goes beyond that, probably,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and then used as her personal pleasurement device, as it were,

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>and then in completely different categories the whole furry thing.

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess. I don't know. I'm I don't know, journey

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 2>overlapping that ven diagram between muscle mommies and furries. Why

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.359
<v Speaker 2>are you asking me? I just assume you know these things.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you like that? Huh? Just this thing? I just

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>assume you know lots of these things. Wow, wow, sick,

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 2>oh crazy? If you know anything about it, maybe you do.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we are on it. We are on in

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.319
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 5>More than thirty years after the murders of Nicole Brown

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 5>Simpson and Ron Goldman, attorneys for O. J. Simpson's estate

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 5>finally agreeing to accept a nearly the eight million dollar

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 5>claim from the Goldman family.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Damn fifty eight me. Of course OJ is dead.

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Goldman going after his money all those years

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was to make OJ miserable because he feels like OJ

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 2>got away with murdering his daughter.

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 4>But son, yeah, her son, sorry, yeah Goldman. Yeah, although

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 4>the Brown family was after him too. Yeah, that's interesting.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 4>How much money is there in the estate. I don't

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>know coming up. Jonathan Martin, the dean of political writers

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 4>at Politico, says Gavvy boy is the clear front runner

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 4>for the presidency.

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's say it out loud. We'll share that terrifying information.

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>That's you got his new book coming out soon. We

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you about that.

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh good lord, I wouldn't use it to line my

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 4>parroent A young man in a hurry speaking of at

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 4>the Armstrong and Getty superstore, going Strong. It's order now,

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 4>just in time for Christmas. Ruin the Entire Country Newsome

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty eight. People are loving that t shirt, both

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 4>cal Unicorn and those who dislike progressive mismanagement of our

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 4>nation's affairs. Again, Ruin the Entire Country knew some twenty

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 4>twenty eight. Oh in the Armstrong and Giddy Air Force

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 4>blue stainless steel water bottle with heavy duty straw lid.

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 2>So Katie's wearing an armstrong and getdy sweatshirt today, a hoodie,

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorites. That's great, so comfortable. So we

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>were told by Hansen, you have a news headline for us.

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Is this true? Do you know anything about that? No? Okay,

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 4>If you're most story of the day, he says, I

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 4>do what I do? Is it better not be idiotic

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 4>because I'm not in the.

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Mood because we do not like people just messing around

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>saying weird crap. We a salary? Erry Michael hed it?

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>What is our story? Multi? Okay?

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>There are twenty six letters in the alphabet, but one

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is just not getting in off love. Linguists say the

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>letter T is being dropped from words like kitten, mountain

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and interview coast to coast, and no one know why,

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but they have named it. It's called te glottalization, and

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a speech error that's happening mostly in the under

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty five age range.

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. My son does that, and I have no idea.

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's so annoying. It's it's a it's a well,

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like up talk originally was highly annoying,

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 2>but it's just so common now I don't even notice it.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like everybody does it. So yeah, the dropping the

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 2>tee thing, my son has done that since he was younger,

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't realize maybe he picked that up from

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>other youth. You know, it's a Southern California thing. I think.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Originally, like so many annoying speaking trends, whether the Valley girl,

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 4>the up talk in general. Now this I happen to

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 4>notice it from a couple of bands out of the

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 4>LA area who like, there's a one line was weight in,

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, wait, why did you say weight in?

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Instead of waiting?

0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Wait, I'm waiting for executive producer Mike Han and joins

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 2>his hands and yeah, this.

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 6>Has been a problem in our society for quite some time,

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 6>and it needs to come to an end.

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just the twenty somethings.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 6>This has crept up into people in their late thirties

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 6>and early forties taking over our society. I've been bothered

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 6>by it for years. It needs to come to an

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 6>end immediately. My children are being effected.

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it. Bring back the tea. You've noticed

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it in your kids. I've noticed that my kids.

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 6>One of our beloved colleagues is the first person that

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 6>started doing it.

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It was such a bother and I couldn't understand why

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 2>are you dropping your teas? Yeah, any names off the

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 2>air and that, what are you doing? What's wrong with you?

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 2>We have cats? And he says, oh, it's a kitten

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 2>in what I've never said anything about it? That is

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 2>so great ing. Oh goodness, lord hell, I want to

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>hit them. Wow. Okay, Well it's not just my son.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought, actually thought maybe he had like a speech

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 2>embediment or something with his tongue or something that kind

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of sounds like it doesn't it, stop it stop it,

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>But it's just picked up a social trend. Oh be darn.

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for bringing that to our attention. That is an

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 2>important story. You were right, good armstrong and getdy Okay,

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 2>to show how incredibly ignorant I am on this topic.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Like many, I thought cloud Flair was like a Sunflair.

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a company. Yeah, oh okay, I thought you said

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>dot when you said cloud Flare, I thought it was

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>like one. You know, there's a Sunflair or something like that.

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 2>So there's a company that has a whole bunch of

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>distribution of podcasts, things going on around it, including us,

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 2>but like Twitter and all kinds of different things, and

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.439
<v Speaker 2>they're having an outage today.

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, it's a web security conglomerate.

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but I know nothing about that, And it's fascinating

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.879
<v Speaker 2>from the whole so many things tied together. If the

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Chinese ever decide to hack us, what's gonna happen thang

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 2>that we'll all get to live through someday And won't

0:18:58.520 --> 0:18:59.120
<v Speaker 2>it be exciting?

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think that whether it was one big outage,

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 4>it feels like it was probably a year ago or so.

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 4>That was a fairly insignificant company in the delivery chain

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 4>of web services, that sort of thing that updated its software,

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 4>that you tech folks that know what I'm talking about.

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 4>And well, right, it's just it's all so tied together.

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.719
<v Speaker 4>It's not like you can, you know, go around a

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 4>leak in a water main by attaching a hose or

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 4>something like that. It's a little more difficult to get

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 4>around problems.

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you listen to the show, you know I'm

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 2>a big reader. I love reading. I love keeping track

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 2>of what new books are coming out. I got a

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 2>list of books a thousand long books I want to read.

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 2>This probably won't make the list, but it's coming out

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>right after the first of the year. Gavin Newsome young

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>man in a hurry a Memoir of Discovery with him

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>on the cover as looking very young Kennedy Like, this

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 2>is not an accident. It's a black and white picture.

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it seems clear to me to're trying to

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 2>give him Kennedy vibes. Yeah, black and white picture. He's

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 2>in just a shirt and tie walking down a city street,

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.679
<v Speaker 2>like you know, he's probably mayor at the time, like

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a guy, you know, I'm really working hard for the

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.679
<v Speaker 2>people of San Francisco. Young Man in a hurry a

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Memoir of Discovery. That title makes me want to vomit,

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 2>but probably not what they're going for. I was reading

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Mark Calprin's column over the weekend, and he has gone

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 2>from kind of high issue Gavin Newssom but not that high,

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to full on high on Gavin Newsom. Thinks Gavin Newsom

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 2>is a major, major force to be reckoned with in

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 2>terms of running for president. So I don't know what's

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>made people change their views on this, but that's where

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Jonathan Martin is Politico's senior Political Commonists columnist. Wow, that's

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 4>a funny Freudian slip politics bureau chief. He's really the

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 4>head writer there and his pieces admit it. Gavin Newsom

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 4>is the twenty twenty eight front runner, of course his subhead.

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 4>For years, Democrats and pundits have rolled their eyes at

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Gavin Newsom, but he's positioned better than anyone else for

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 4>the future of politics. The opening sentence, which is a

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 4>bit of a run on, Jonathan, is an absolute statement

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:29.639
<v Speaker 4>of how big the divide is between politics and governance.

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:37.479
<v Speaker 4>Politics being in for the purpose of this discussion, running

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.199
<v Speaker 4>for off his gaining votes, raising money, governance being what

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 4>the hell are you going to do in office?

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And then you get the whole. Then you got the whole.

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Run you run in poetry and government prose thing. Yeah right, yeah,

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 2>So here's your run on sentence. No Democrat has had

0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 2>a better two years than Gavin Newsom. And because all

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>we could start right there, that is purely about politics,

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 2>not governance. Governance wise nightmare.

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 4>Ask any cal Unicornian, including Democrats.

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 2>The last two of all human we all fall short.

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes when all the Walgreens had to close in all

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the cities because there's so much crime and homeless people

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and your toothpaste is locked up, energy bills skyrocketing, and

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.880
<v Speaker 2>then the horrifying fires and people can't get any help

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.239
<v Speaker 2>because of the red tape in California. Yeah, it's been

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 2>a great two years.

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.119
<v Speaker 4>Test results coming out showing this kids know nothing, have

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 4>learned nothing. It's terrible bottomed out anyway, I'll read the

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 4>whole sentence. Now, no Democrat has had a better two

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 4>years than Gavin Newsom, and because of it, the California governor,

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.640
<v Speaker 4>a national figure since he was a thirty six year

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 4>old boy mayor, has claimed a new title front runner.

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to find Newsome naysayers.

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 4>In fact, there may not be a modern political figure

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 4>who was simultaneously so well positioned to be his party's

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.639
<v Speaker 4>nominee and so doubted by the smart set since well,

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:06.679
<v Speaker 4>Joe Biden in twenty twenty.

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Will how that turnout?

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he won barely, and then Jess became one of

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 4>the worst presidents in American history. But Jonathan will let

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 4>that go. But he says, let's not make the mistake

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 4>of ignoring what's in plain view and give the governor's

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 4>due by the old rules of Democratic nominations. Newsom fits

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 4>neatly in the tradition of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 4>younger outsider candidates who could credibly run fresh campaigns against

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 4>the Washington status quo while claiming enough insider credentials to

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 4>reassure party mandarins who care about such things.

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>As we've talked about a lot over many years. Because

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>this is applied to Arnold for whatever reason, three thousand

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 2>miles away here in California from DC and New York,

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.880
<v Speaker 2>they just have no idea what's going on out here.

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 4>No, they invent narratives and they run with them, and

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 4>just everybody repeats it in East Coast media about the

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 4>West Coast all, you know, the entire West Coast.

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>That's why I hope that the New York Post actually

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>ends up with a California bureau like they're talking about.

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you could get some reporters in California that actually

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 2>know what's happening, because they reported stuff about Arnold all

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 2>the time that just wasn't true. Yeah, we thought it

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 2>was hilarious reading, you know what.

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, I need to reassess my discussion of the out

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.679
<v Speaker 4>of touchedness of the Eastern media.

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they have a single effing.

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Idea what's going on west of Ohio, because I was

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 4>about to include Nevada and Arizona in the West coast,

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 4>because you know, I know the politics of those states

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 4>fairly well, and the East coast media has no idea

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 4>what's going on. But then Illinois, even they just I've

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 4>never read any good analysis of Illinois politics out of

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 4>the East Coast media anyway.

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Newsom, this part is true and troubling.

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 4>Newsom is also the bet position Democrat according to the

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:06.399
<v Speaker 4>new rules of politics, namely, whether you can, whether you

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.679
<v Speaker 4>are or can become famous by breaking through on social media.

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 4>How many other potential candidates are plausible celebrities who can

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 4>transcend the political pop culture divide.

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I'll Abama and Trump if.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 4>You believe the phone in your hand will more than

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 4>any factor determine the next Democratic nominee. It's hard not

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 4>to grasp new some strength. As the kids say, he

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.120
<v Speaker 4>gives main character energy.

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 2>He laugh, I laughed, main character energy, all right. Actually

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the kids would say main character or energy because they

0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 2>don't say teas anymore. That's right, laziness. Yeah, yeah, Well,

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.639
<v Speaker 2>it's so my youngest last night I said he's just

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 2>going to live off the government. It's oh. I was

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 2>talking about his grades and various things. I'll just what

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do when you're eighteen? And I've given

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:03.199
<v Speaker 2>a very I mean, it could have been straight out

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>of a sitcom. I was given such a classic dad speech.

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.160
<v Speaker 2>But his answer was I'll just live off the government.

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Frankfully made me laugh. Moral arguments about that. He knows

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>how I feel about that, So he was trying to anyway.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 4>So the thing about Gaffy and this is not a

0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:29.440
<v Speaker 4>political liability in a especially a pre primary period, which

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 4>we're talking about right now. Good god, it's only twenty

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty five and we're actually contemplating on even a little

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 4>bit the twenty twenty eight race. But on which side

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 4>of the party's liberal versus moderate divide will knew some

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 4>position himself.

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Martin asks, neither I wanted to be the mansion

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to Mamdani party. I wanted to be inclusive.

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 4>The government told the governor told him last week, well

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 4>good luck with that.

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Mad mansion.

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 4>That's that's that's clever because it's got two m's in it.

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 4>What would that look like, because I don't think the

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 4>mansion or mansion adjacent Democrats of today have any patients

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 4>at all with the Mumdani super woke crowd anymore because

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 4>they realize it's dragging him down. In fact, the Free

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.959
<v Speaker 4>Press had a great piece by this young woman who

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 4>is a you know, San Francisco based fundraiser and mover

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 4>and shaker and the Democratic Party and left it and

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 4>it's an interesting essay about what happens to you personally

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 4>when you do that and online it's brutal, absolutely brutal.

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 4>But Gavin is nothing, But he is nothing if not calculating,

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:43.640
<v Speaker 4>and he does not want to run off a single

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, cohort of the Democratic vote at this point,

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 4>which is probably smart.

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>So all right, he's officially.

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 4>On the uh well, he's been on the radar screen

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.199
<v Speaker 4>for a long time, but he has now been christened

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 4>anointed by several media heavyweights as the Democrat.

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Right. Well, all depends on who runs against him, of course,

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 2>and then events make a very big deal. As John

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 2>McCain was the nominee for the Republicans when we thought

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 2>the main issue was going to be the war in

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Iraq and Barack Obama was his opponent, and the main

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 2>issue ended up being the financial crisis and the collapse

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and turning to a war veteran with strong opinions on

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the war in Iraq. Nobody cared because it was all

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>about the economy. You just you never know, You never know, right.

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 4>You want to hear my favorite headline of the day,

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 4>woman pleads guilty to lying about astronaut wife accessing bank

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 4>account from space station. That is definitely one of those headlines. Wait,

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, I need to hear that one more time.

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot happening here. Woman pleads guilty to lying

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 4>about astronaut wife accessing bank account from space stage.

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'd missed the first part. The woman pled guilty

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 2>to lying it never.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Abowed her lesbian astronaut wife draining the accounts from outer space.

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.719
<v Speaker 4>I guess it's is it near space?

0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Where did she drain the accounts herself and try to

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 2>blame it on her astronaut? Yeah?

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, in the midst of a divorce, Yeah, and a

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 4>bitter custody battle.

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Over kids or a Cordese French.

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Bulldogs they're referring to their son. I believe it is

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 4>a human still could be a French bulldog conceived through

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 4>ivy fertilization, carried by a surrogate. Mishaw, you got two

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 4>women in this relationship, Why do you need a surrogate?

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>He is lazy? I don't know.

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure we'll get angry emails for that. Maybe you

0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 4>weren't biologically, physically anatomically able to carry a child.

0:29:56.360 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Were you just lazy? Well, you got two.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.719
<v Speaker 4>Women's in this relationship, granted the ones in ounter space.

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 4>I get this so that it eliminates the one. Eh boy. Anyway,

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 4>I hope those two crazy kids can work out their

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 4>problems and co parents successfully.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to get to it till our three

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 2>actually came across some I think interesting stuff about the

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Epstein vote today. What's actually in that bill that I

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't know?

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Uh? Can you imagine going to the bank manager and saying, yeah,

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 4>I think it's my wife where strange she's draining our

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 4>accounts from space. Okay, I'll be right back, says the

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 4>bank manager, and he walks out of the office, not

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 4>knowing where to go or who to call, but just

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 4>needing a moment of time to think.

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Walks out, gets in his car and drives at the

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>bar and that's what he does. Okay, we got more

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>on the way, stay here.

<v Speaker 2>That kind of prison? If I ever commit a crime,

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I got to commit a crime that gets me sent

0:31:55.680 --> 0:32:00.040
<v Speaker 2>to one of those prisons, sounds awesome. I'd feel like

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 2>it's more of it keeps people away from me, then

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.959
<v Speaker 2>keeps me away from people like I'm hearing, nobody can

<v Speaker 2>come bother me.

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely it'd be a white collar crime guy.

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I see a little chance for you to,

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, go to the big house.

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know it just the real kind, yes, Michael.

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Just more of a copyright in Frenchman type right, that's

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 4>about as dangerous as high role.

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 2>You're so right, Michael. So I just saw up on

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Fox they're interviewing Walter Isaacson, author who's written some great

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 2>great books Ben Franklin's book. Right, He's got a new

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 2>book about the Declaration of Independence come out. That sounds fantastic.

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 2>There's gotta be a lot of good old timey revolutionary

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff coming because of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 2>of our country, which happens this next July fourth, two thousands.

0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Jim Sanderfers has got a fabulous new book coming out.

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 2>True the obviously twenty twenty six is two hundred and

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty years after seventeen seventy six. And so can you

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 2>look this up, Katie? Did ken Byrne Revolutionary Wars series

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 2>start already? I thought I heard a tease that it

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 2>started Sunday night, but I forgot to look into it

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. I want to watch that with my son.

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's gonna be great. I'm a big fan

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 2>of ken Burns documentaries. I love Founding Father's stuff, absolutely

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 2>love it. So that's cool. I hope, you know, I

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 2>hope wherever your kids are they can get a decent

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>dose of founding Father's stuff. That isn't all about them

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:29.120
<v Speaker 2>being slaveholders and this and that, which is highly annoying.

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 2>The penny. You tweeted this out, I think, Joe, so

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 2>we got rid of the penny. We made the last

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:41.120
<v Speaker 2>two pennies the other day. Yes, compared to its value

0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:43.400
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen sixty six, the penny is now worth a

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 2>tenth of a cent, the nickel is worth a half

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 2>a cent, and the dime is the same as what

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>a penny was in nineteen sixty six. Correct. That's not

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a bad little lesson about inflation, because inflation isn't just

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a thing that happened during COVID. After Joe Biden, inflation

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 2>is ongoing. At its best, it's around two percent. But

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:07.520
<v Speaker 2>we had a period there in the late seventies early

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 2>eighties where it was horribly high, and we had a

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:11.879
<v Speaker 2>period during COVID where it was horribly high. But so

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a dime is worth what a penny was in nineteen

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.879
<v Speaker 2>sixty six. That's a good thing to know and keep

0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in mind. Well, and it points out the absurdity of

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 2>having a penny. How many people between nineteen sixty six

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 2>and today would have said, it makes sense to have

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 2>a tenth of a cent piece. Nobody, No, ridiculous, No,

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:35.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sure we need the nickel that is

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 2>worth a half of a cent from nineteen sixty six.

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 4>For what it's worth, I did all that research on

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 4>my own, using an inflation calculator and actually found and

0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 4>clipped a illustration of a nineteen sixty six penny for

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 4>that tweet. I'm practically ken Burns. You did that whole

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 4>thing that was my documentary about the value of the

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:55.640
<v Speaker 4>penny as it was.

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Compared to nineteen sixty six a random hear you chose

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 2>el America. No, not at all.

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 4>I found the precise year that a penny was almost

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 4>was more or less exactly a tenth of what is

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 4>worth right now.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay, that's who you're shooting for. We us, Katie.

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:15.920
<v Speaker 2>The American Revolution started Sunday and it goes all week. Okay.

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's on now, and I'm sure you can find

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the older episodes somewhere. So i gotta watch out with

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:22.839
<v Speaker 2>my son. I'd love to sit down and watch out

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 2>with my son. I've seen some of the previews of

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 2>it and looks absolutely fantastic And despite what you might think,

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>having watched the interviews with Ken Burns going around, sounds

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.719
<v Speaker 2>like he's gonna give up pretty good, just general like

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it was, you know, me as a kid lesson in

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the Revolutionary War, and it's importance in the Founding Fathers,

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 2>not some sort of new sixteen nineteen project we should

0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 2>be ashamed of ourselves version exactly.

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 4>That's what everybody's asking, particularly because Ken is a man

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 4>of the left. Yeah, is there gonna be Howard Zinn

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 4>wokeism in it? From what I've heard, no, which is wild.

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 4>How does he keep that out?

0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 2>How does he think it's important to keep that out

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:07.040
<v Speaker 2>of his documentaries which he seems to have Yet in

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.120
<v Speaker 2>his personal life he goes around doing all these interviews

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 2>talking like a progressive. I don't know, we'll have to see.

0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Wonder what that is. I wonder why he does that. Anyway.

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 2>We do a lot of hours, a lot of segments.

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.400
