1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty. 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katty I know he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 3: Trumb just said that billionaires Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, and 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: the Murdocks will be involved in the deal for TikTok. 6 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 3: Rupert Murdoch is ninety four years old. Every time he exhales, 7 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 3: it looks like he's doing the cinnamon challenge. 8 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 4: President Trump suggested that Mediam Mogul Rupert Murdoch will be 9 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 4: involved in the deal for US control of TikTok. So 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 4: don't worry, kids, your beloved TikTok will be perfectly safe 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 4: in the hands of this ninety four year old man. 12 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 5: I still don't quite understand the TikTok deal. Maybe it 13 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 5: has to be completely done before we'll completely understand it. 14 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: What are your questions? Is the algorithm going to be 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: the same or not? 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 5: Reporting last week there were outlets CNBC said the algorithm 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 5: was going to be the same. Wall Street Journal said 18 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 5: it is going to be different. Well, if it's a 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 5: different algorithm, it's not TikTok, it's something else. 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: You're calling TikTok. 21 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: All right, it's like buying the brand of Taylor Swift, 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: but it'll be different songs, different music, different legs. 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: Yes, a leggy songstress. 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: So, speaking of high flying stars of media, you got 25 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom of cal Unicornia. He's the governor and he 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: is hot for the presidency, obviously, and he's been defending 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: his tenure in Sacramento by lauding the California Way. He's 28 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: trying to sell that to America. And I am going 29 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: to quote Stephen Malanga fairly extensively here. Stephen's a senior 30 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: editor at City Journal, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. 31 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: He writes about economics a lot. But anyway, I found 32 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: this very very interesting because I heard Gave the other 33 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: day suggesting that California is a donor state. It gives 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: more in taxes than it receives, and it derives from 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: balance of payment studies done one hundred years ago, and 36 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: that red states, well he actually used the or you know, 37 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: he actually he quoted somebody else used the term red 38 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: moucher states. 39 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: Blue states pay. 40 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: More in taxes and they take in and those moucher 41 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: red states are free loading on the backs of the 42 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: American people unbelievable, and they quote some reports that came 43 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: out in the early two thousands and even before that 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: by the Rockefeller Institute. Now quoting Milange, here's the truth 45 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: some of the bigg the few politicians have ever bothered 46 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: to investigate what these reports measure. Some of the biggest 47 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: catagories of spending aren't discretionary programs that help finance state budgets, 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: but cash spent by Washington to people in businesses that 49 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: earned it. That California and other states come up short 50 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: in receiving this money can be a function of their 51 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: own failings rather than any funding bias. The biggest category 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: these studies measure is direct payments from the federal government 53 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: to individuals, like Social Security and government employee pensions. A 54 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: big chunk is the money for people that have worked for 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: and that the Feds send them when they retire. Few 56 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: budget experts would classify these as subsidies from Washington and 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: California residents annually receive about ten percent less per capita 58 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: than the national average in direct payments, in part because 59 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: it's a relatively young state. And Malanga gives several statistics, 60 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: but it has to do with the fact that it's 61 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: miserably expensive to retire in California. In fact, it's the 62 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: third most expensive state to retire comfortably. 63 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: Only Hawaii and Massachusetts are worse. 64 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 5: It's hard to imagine if you lived somewhere else that 65 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 5: you would move to California to retire right. 66 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Federal contracting dollars constitute another huge spending category. This is 67 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: money that businesses and other private entities earned for work 68 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: performed for the government, especially for national defense, not money 69 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Washington disperses based on the state's population or tax contributions 70 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's buying fighter planes and that sort of thing, 71 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: and California falls short on this measure too, about twenty 72 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: eight percent less than the national average, partly because California 73 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: is so hostile to business now there are fewer businesses 74 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: per capita for the federal government to buy from because 75 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: so many have fled the state. Where California does quite 76 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: well is in receipt of federal grants, some of which 77 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: clearly represents spending that bolster state budgets. Second largest category 78 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: tracked by moynahnd style studies include medicaid, federal highway funding, welfare, 79 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: food stamps, and education subsidies, and given the very high 80 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: poverty numbers in California and all of the illegal immigrants 81 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: that have come into the state, California gets more significantly 82 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: more per capita than other states in actual charity payments. 83 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: So it's time to trade less activism in Washington in 84 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: return for more revenue at home for whatever active measures 85 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. If Newsom is truly upset about California 86 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: subsidizing other states, you might consider incorporating mister Moynihan's proposals 87 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: into his presidential platform. Essentially, leave more money in the states. 88 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: You know, don't send thirty billion dollars to the federal 89 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: government and beg for your share back anyway, So that 90 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: red mucher state thing is a complete myth. Secondly, and 91 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: this one's so good. This comes from Wall Street Journal. 92 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: California's great climate backfire. Sacramento Democrats are allowing dirtier air 93 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: to avoid gasoline price hikes, and California's war on fossil 94 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: fuels is backfiring in spectacular fashion. As gas prices, imports 95 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: of foreign oil, and CO two emissions are all increasing. 96 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: The response in Sacramento. 97 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Allow more oil drilling and dirtier blends of gasoline in 98 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: the state. What happened to the climate emergency, you might ask, 99 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: Then they go into the high high prices of gas 100 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: in California nearly two bucks more in Texas. Looming refinery 101 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: shutdowns and declining in state crude production could drive prices 102 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: even higher. 103 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: During the eighties, did you know this? 104 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: Most of the oil Californians consumed was produced in California, 105 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: but then state regulations regulated the oil business right out 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: of California, so instead of most of it, California produced 107 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: only twenty three percent of the crew it's refineries used 108 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: last year. Almost all of the rest was imported from 109 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: abroad from countries that don't give a crap about the 110 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: environment and drill way more dirtily. More imports have increased 111 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: CO two emissions and smog causing pollutants from tankers docking 112 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: at the state's ports. Declining production is also making pipelines 113 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: that carry crew to in state refineries less economically viable. 114 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: If pipelines shut down, the state would have to import 115 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: even more foreign crude oil. And looming shutdowns of of 116 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: two larger foineries I mean the state would also have 117 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: to import just gasoline we wouldn't be refining our own gas. 118 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Trouble is the state lacks the infrastructure to handle more imports. 119 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: So I studied the spring by a USC business school 120 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: professor trajected the gasoline prices could rise to more than 121 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: eight dollars a gallon owing to constricted supply. None of 122 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: this is good for Gavy, who's eyeballing the presidency. So 123 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: he is now strong armed the legislature into saying, yeah, 124 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: all those environmental regulations and the cleaner gas and the 125 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: summer gas blend at all, let's just throw that crap 126 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: out the window to. 127 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: Keep the prices high. 128 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: So you get high prices in spite of that, and 129 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: measure super high prices, dirtier gas, dirtier your oil, more 130 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: environmental damage during the drilling. 131 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: For the oil. 132 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: You lose in every single environmental measure, but you get 133 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: to say, we don't do that dirty, dirty oil stuff 134 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: in California. No, we just burn more of it than 135 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: you know, any other state in the Union because the 136 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: population is so big. 137 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: Well, that's why I take the bullet train everywhere. 138 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 5: I took the bullet train to work, I take my 139 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 5: kids to school, and the bullet train. We went camping 140 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 5: this past weekend, we rode the bullet train up to 141 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: our Calraians. 142 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely hilarious, laugh, I laughed, Gavy knwsome in the Democrats. 143 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: Energy policy in California might be the biggest self goal, 144 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: own goal they call it in soccer i've ever seen. 145 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's worked so far. 146 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 5: I wonder if it will keep working because people didn't 147 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 5: catch on to the fact. Oh that is so admirable. 148 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 5: You don't drill for oil in your state. Well, the 149 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 5: gas has got to come from somewhere, so we buy 150 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 5: it from places who would do a worse job of 151 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 5: drilling oil, right, And it jacks up more smog and pollution, which, 152 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 5: unlike you know CO two emissions, which is allegedly behind 153 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 5: some climate change, the smog and pollution actually hurt people's health. 154 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: They damaged lungs and it's bad for children and the 155 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: rest of it. CO two is theoretical and maybe has 156 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: some effect on climate change. More smog hurts people, well, 157 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get lots more smog. 158 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know why we can't be grown ups 159 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: around as the Keystone Pipeline, remember that was such a 160 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 5: big deal during the Obama administration. Everything, and it finally 161 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 5: got killed. Was obviously a good idea. It was gonna 162 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 5: be a safer, cleaner way to transport oil around the country. 163 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: But it is like a pipeline. 164 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 5: It was like doubling down on fossil fuel so you 165 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 5: don't have it, and then you gotta buy a more 166 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 5: oil from more expensive places or transported in dirtier ways 167 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 5: and trains and trucks than the pipeline. 168 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: You can pretend that we're not using oil anymore. It's 169 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: so childish. It's performative hundred percent. 170 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Which is fine if it's just performative. If it's performative 171 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: and its squanders tax dollars, that's a problem. 172 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: If it's performative. 173 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: And squanders tax dollars and makes the air dirtier so 174 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: they can virtue signal, that's abhorrent. But you too, America 175 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: can have this sort of government and management and leadership. 176 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Vote Gavin Newsom in twenty twenty eight. 177 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 5: I was thinking about do I want to talk about 178 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 5: The deadline was last week for national parks to fall 179 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 5: in line with the new regulations that the Trump administration 180 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: has of not having any plaques or anything like that 181 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: that bad mouth the US. And now you got all 182 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 5: your museum are in the same situation. 183 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: That whole topic. 184 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: I find that topic pretty interesting since I've run up 185 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 5: against it with my kids quite a few times. Every 186 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 5: damn plaque everywhere it's got something about climate change that 187 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,479 Speaker 5: we were just talking about, or how evil. 188 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: We were to the Indians, or slavery. 189 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: Every single one that reminds me when I was gone. 190 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Did you do some version of your conversation with Tim 191 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: Sanderfer on the air? 192 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: I did, Yeah, about the Indians? Oh good, Yeah, I've 193 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 5: read that stuff. 194 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Marxist indoctrination, and so many of 195 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: America's kids at schools rather of the kids. If more 196 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: people knew about it, there would be riots in the streets. Well, 197 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: and it's astonishing to me that there aren't riots in 198 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: the streets. I want not calling for riots. I'm calling 199 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: for a shutdown of government schools. 200 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: I want to use an example, see if this holds 201 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: up of like an obituary for an individual, or if 202 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 5: you were saluting a sixty year wedding anniversary. The way 203 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: you would talk about those things versus the way we 204 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: talk about our history in my son's history class or 205 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 5: in the plaque at your local Park and see if 206 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 5: that makes any sense anyway. 207 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: I'll explain that when we come back. 208 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 5: So I'm super sensitive this issue, as I've talked about, 209 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: because my son has taken American history. My son, my 210 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: eighth grader, loves history class, and he is in a 211 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 5: public school that is apparently not going to teach American 212 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 5: history the way you and I learned it, where you 213 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 5: talk about the Revolution and the Founding Fathers and Constitutional Convention, 214 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 5: all that sort of stuff, because all they've done so 215 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 5: far is talk about how this led. They had to 216 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 5: write a land acknowledgment about the land learned we're holding 217 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: this class on used to belong to whatever tribe of Indians, 218 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 5: which is just stupid on its own. I don't even 219 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 5: need to go any further than that. What about the 220 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 5: tribe that down it before that tribe? I mean, what 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 5: are we doing here? This is moronic And I've since 222 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 5: pulled my son out of this class. The other day 223 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 5: they were talking about settler colonialism with anybody who uses 224 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 5: that term ever is obviously a Marxist. 225 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: But we're a fool who's been seduced by Marxists. 226 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it fits in with the story of Trump 227 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 5: is trying to get national museums and parks and all 228 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 5: that sort of stuff around the country to stop having 229 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 5: all these plaques that bad mouff the United States. So 230 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 5: the NPR version of this sort of story is trying 231 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 5: to whitewash history to try to cover up, you know, 232 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 5: slavery and the ills of this. 233 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: Country and all that sort of thing. 234 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 5: And I have a feeling that's what my son's teacher 235 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 5: would say, for too long, we didn't teach this. Well, 236 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 5: now we're going to teach the bad part. And I 237 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 5: keep wondering, well, first of all, has any country ever 238 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 5: done this before ever? 239 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: Where you focus. 240 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 5: Practically to the exclusion of everything else on your negatives. 241 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: Why, to what end? What do you try to accomplish? 242 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 5: If you hadn't overcome the negatives, maybe you could still 243 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 5: focus on it. But if you have overcome it, like 244 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 5: we don't have slaves anymore, if you have overcome the negatives, 245 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 5: do you. 246 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: Need to make that the focus of everything? 247 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 5: And I was using the example in my own mind, 248 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 5: and I think I brought this up on the air 249 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 5: a while back of like an obituary, and obituaries they 250 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 5: highlight all the stuff that a human being did that 251 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 5: were more or less positive in their lives. You don't 252 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 5: pick out and then you know, when he was twenty 253 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 5: eight years old he got cut speed and drunk. 254 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: And spent three nights in jail or whatever. You don't 255 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: do that. No, it's a distraction from the totality of 256 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: the story, right right, right. 257 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 5: And I was thinking of the example of like a 258 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 5: sixtieth wedding anniversary, or you talk about the wedding, the 259 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 5: marriage and everything like that, and everybody's giving care. 260 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: Nobody stands up. 261 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, I don't know if you remember this, 262 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 5: but they separated briefly when they were in their thirties 263 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 5: because he cheated on her. 264 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: We don't do that with with lives or towns or whatever. 265 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: But why are we doing it with our country where 266 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 5: we're focusing on the most negative part and acting like 267 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 5: that's the only thing to look at? 268 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: Two reasons. 269 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: One, the activists want to end Western civilization as it 270 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: stands and turn it into a Marxist paradise. They know 271 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: precisely what they're doing, like the teacher in California who said, 272 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: I have nine months to turn them into revolutionaries. Those people, 273 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: that is precisely their goal. Then The other answer to 274 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: your question is people have been convinced that that's how 275 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: you are a good person. My health loathing is evidence 276 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,479 Speaker 1: of being enlightened. 277 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: I got Marxists have convinced them. 278 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 5: I got to use this example because it's so good. 279 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 5: So the other day, the last day he was in 280 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 5: the class since I've pulled him out, they were talking 281 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 5: about slavery, and somebody brought up might have been Henry, 282 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 5: but somebody brought up the idea that there were black 283 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: tribes in Africa capturing, capturing other black people and selling 284 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 5: them to Europeans in the slave trade. They weren't racist, 285 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 5: They just were okay with slavery and making money. He 286 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 5: actually said in the classroom. Apparently, well, they didn't know 287 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: how bad slavery was in the United States. Yes, they 288 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 5: did that, but they didn't know that what they were 289 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 5: signing these people up was the evils of what slavery 290 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: was in the United States. Oh well, he said, you 291 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 5: were willing to capture people, sell them, take them away 292 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 5: from their homes, but you know, you didn't know how 293 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 5: bad it was. 294 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: Right. I just read a great piece by a historian 295 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: on that is one of the Because you know more 296 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: and more people had become aware. Wait a minute, At 297 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: that time, slavery was ubiquitous. It was everywhere on earth, 298 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: every society. The Native Americans had slaves, the Arabs would 299 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: enslave black people, the black people would everybody was enslaving 300 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: each other, The Irish were enslaved. 301 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 302 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: It was everywhere, and so the Marxists are like, more 303 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: and more people realized that okay, okay, let's go with 304 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: slavery in America was extra bad. And this historian was 305 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: disputing that ludicrous idea. You know, in various you know, 306 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: ample of here, there and everywhere. It was a little 307 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: better over there, a little worse over there, but then 308 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: ten years later it changed. That is a false argument. 309 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: So crazy, No, it's deliverate. It's not crazy, it's thought out, 310 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: it's smart, it's vicious. 311 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: Well, it's crazy that we put up with it, and 312 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 5: a lot of our kids learn it in class, Amen. 313 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Geeddy. 314 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 5: So Kamala's got a book out and she's going to 315 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 5: try to run for president. She thinks she's going to 316 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 5: run for president. She's going to find no money lines up. 317 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: None of the heavyweight people who work in campaigns are 318 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 5: going to join her, and then she's going to quickly decide. 319 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 5: I guess now it's not my time, that is my prediction. 320 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 5: But she does know her as any other time back 321 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 5: to you now, not. 322 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: Your time or any other time, but now it is 323 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: not my time to make it in the NBA.

It's hard to hear with 343 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 6: you running as you know, you're the first woman elected 344 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 6: vice president, you're a black woman and a South Asian 345 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 6: woman elected that high office, very nearly elected president, to 346 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 6: say that he couldn't be on the ticket effectively because 347 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 6: he was gay, it's hard to hear. 348 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 7: No, No, that's not what I said that. That's that 349 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 7: he couldn't be on the ticket because he is gay. 350 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 7: My point, as I write in the book, is that 351 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 7: I was clear that in one hundred and seven days, 352 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 7: in one of the most hotly contested elections for president 353 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 7: United States, against someone like Donald Trump, who knows no floor, 354 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 7: to be a black woman running for president United States 355 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 7: and as a vice presidential running mate a gay man, 356 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 7: with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad, 357 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 7: But I also realized it would be a real list. 358 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: I had forgotten. 359 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 5: I had forgotten forgotten her meandering, inability to ever say anything. 360 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: She's a terrible liar, which is a shame because she 361 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: needs to a lot. But Rachel says, it hurts for me. 362 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: She's Rachel's gay. In case you don't know this, but 363 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: to hear that you wouldn't have him on the ticket 364 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: because he's a gay man. And after like a full 365 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: word salad bar, she gets to. 366 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: So it'd be too big a risk because he's a 367 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: gay guy. 368 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, so that we're talking about Mayor Pete. We never 369 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 5: set that up properly, Mayor Pete boudhedge Edge, who she 370 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 5: says in the book. We read this yesterday, this portion 371 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 5: that she liked him best but thought black woman, gay 372 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: guy is too controversial a ticket, right. I think she's 373 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: completely wrong because he would have been so much better 374 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 5: than Tim Walls well as a running mate. 375 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: And let me rip off. Hector Barajas, who writes for 376 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: the California Globe. You pointed out that she wanted Pete 377 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: as a running mate but decided America quote couldn't handle 378 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: a black woman and a gay man. And then Hector writes, 379 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: think about that. Harris preaches diversity, equity, and inclusion every day, 380 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: but when it came time to choose, she reduced to 381 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: judge to a label and dismissed him as unelectable solely 382 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: because of his sexuality. That's not DEI, it's the opposite. 383 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: It shows her worldviews based on boxes, not on value 384 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: or worth. 385 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 5: The Democrats are so wrong about this. I've been saying 386 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 5: this since Barack Obama got elected. Barack Obama got more 387 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 5: votes because he was black. Hillary Kitton gets more votes 388 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 5: because she's a woman than you would have gotten if 389 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 5: she was the exact same qualifications in the dude and 390 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 5: a dude. It helps you at this point, you cannot 391 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 5: convince me that it holds you back being a woman, 392 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: even though Hillary, I guess it is out today talking 393 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 5: about that sort of thing. 394 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: Oh that's her only so she's playing it again. 395 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, if Kamala Harris had been a white guy with those. 396 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: Chops, she would have come close. Oh she'd have been 397 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: laughed out of that. Nobody would have even considered her. 398 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: So anyway, So Rachel asks, hey, that's rough. You wouldn't 399 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: have a little peak because he's gay. Jedge, that's the man, right, 400 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: and Kamala hambles I almost want to hear it again. 401 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,239 Speaker 2: That was some unbelievable word sounding and says, but it 402 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: was too high a risk. Because he's a gay fella. 403 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 7: Then she continued, no matter how, you know, I've been 404 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 7: an advocate and an ally of of the LGBT community 405 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 7: my entire life. So it wasn't about it wasn't about it, right, 406 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 7: So it wasn't about any any prejudice on my part. 407 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 7: But we had short we had such a short period 408 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 7: of time, and the stakes were so high. I think 409 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 7: Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal. 410 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: Public servant, but go ahead and say. 411 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 7: And I think America is and would be ready for that. 412 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: But but at. 413 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 7: When I had to make that decision with two weeks 414 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 7: to go, you know, and maybe I was being too cautious. 415 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 7: You know, I'll let our friends, we should all. 416 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: Talk about that. I well, we are. 417 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 7: But that's the decision I made, and I'm and I, 418 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 7: as with everything else in the book, I'm being very 419 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 7: candid about that. 420 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're not. 421 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 7: With a great deal of sadness about also the fact, yes, 422 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 7: that it might have been a risk. 423 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god, surely there's some punctuation around here somewhere. 424 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 5: The greatest parenthetical speaker in the history of speaking. 425 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 2: The whole thing is crazy. 426 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 5: Just clauses in parentheses and then brackets and then asides. 427 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: Well and just come out and say, look, I wanted 428 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: to pick little Pete, but America is such a land 429 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: of bigoted, you know, scumbags. 430 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 2: That they wouldn't vote for him. 431 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: So I went with a straight guy who happened to 432 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: be one of the great lamemost ever appear on the 433 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: American scene. 434 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: Tim Walls, good lord, Well, the problem. 435 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 5: Is Rachel Matdow says, it hurts me that you wouldn't 436 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 5: put him on the ticket because he's gay, And then 437 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 5: Kamala says, after three minutes, I didn't put him on 438 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 5: the ticket because he's gay. 439 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: Right, So that's where the problem is. 440 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 5: Why rambling, Why couldn't somebody get to her, certainly her husband, somebody, 441 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 5: somebody's got to say to her.

Biden screwed 465 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 5: me at every turn, screw him. I thought she might 466 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 5: actually say some things, but she she Well, because she's 467 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 5: running again, she can't just come out and say what 468 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 5: she wants to say. 469 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but she has said more than people normally do. 470 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: Two more thoughts from uh Hector Brahas, whose piece I 471 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: really liked first of all. Kama Harris new memoir One 472 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: hundred and seven Days could use a more honest title 473 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: like everybody but me or one hundred and seven ways 474 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: to blame someone else for my incompetence, and then his uh, 475 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: his conclusion is and he talks about politics is tough. 476 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: I can tell you we all win, we all lose 477 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: the measure of leaders How you respond, you learn, recalibrate, 478 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: and keep working. 479 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: You don't torture your own party. 480 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: You don't publish a score settling memoir that alienates your team, 481 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: your leadership, your base. Harris has violated some of the 482 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: most basic rules of politics. Lose with grace, fight back smart, 483 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: and never attack your own allies. 484 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: From her released excerps. 485 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: One hundred and seven days as in a campaign memoir, 486 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: It's a political obituary, Harris comes across as petty, insecure, 487 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: and consumed with excuses that are showing leadership. She chose 488 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: to air grievances and settle scores. This only reinforces whatever 489 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: is already knew. She was not ready, she was not capable, 490 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: She was not fit to lead then, and nothing she 491 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: writes now will change that. 492 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: I wonder what caused her to come across as petty 493 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: and full of excuses. Perhaps perhaps because she is to 494 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: her everyone knows it to her core, petty yes, and 495 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: full of excuses. Yes. So I thought it was kind 496 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: of interesting over the weekend. 497 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 5: So apparently there's a little blurb in the book about 498 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 5: why she didn't choose Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, And 499 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 5: she talked about the interview process and how he had 500 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 5: brought up something about some artwork he would like to 501 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 5: bring into the vice president's mansion, or she asked about 502 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 5: or something. 503 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: It's weird that it came up as a topic. 504 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 5: He would think, Wow, of all the things you wouldn't 505 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 5: get around until you are actually the person, It was 506 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 5: like what artwork I can bring in?
