WEBVTT - I'm Against Armed Robbery 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:24.160 Jettating and he Armstrong and Jetty. Yeah. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.000 I have a particular interest in California being from that state, 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.120 and I we know there's been a lot of fraud. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.680 There was thirty two point six billion dollars that's been 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:37.000 confirmed in unemployment insurance fraud. There's one point two million 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.760 fraudulent community college applications. Have you gotten any sense or 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.239 have you seen any signs there that sort of are 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.600 similar to what aroused your suspicions in Minnesota? 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.960 Yeah, And fraud in California might be worse than the 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:48.840 frauday Minnesota. 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:50.240 What makes you say. 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.840 That, Well, twenty four billion dollars went missing for homelessness. 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.600 They've been trying to build this train for years, yet 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.200 there's hardly anything to prove for that fire. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.720 Who that that's the representative Kevin Kylie talking to independent 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.240 journalist Nick Shirley. Is that who's been digging into the 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.360 fraud thing in Minnesota and in California. At a hearing 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.760 in Congress the other day, this is interesting. The next 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.319 few clips, you're going to hear is Joe Pollock of 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.280 the California Post, which is the New York Post's new 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:27.640 West Coast outpost, talking to Fox and Fiends. But the 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.039 really significant and interesting part to me is that you 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:40.440 have a non progressive journalism outlet now established in thriving 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.319 as far as I can tell, on the West Coast, 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:47.720 and how utterly that's going to change the progressive government's 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.400 ability to get away with all of. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.280 Their crimes and sins in California. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.080 Absolutely reach out to this specific guy, Hanson. We got 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.240 to get a relationship going with the California Post. We'd 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.440 be perfect for each other and be a marriage made 0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:58.800 in heaven. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.240 But here is Joe Pollock at California Post talking about 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.080 what Kevin Kyley was asking about. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.320 Well, the Governor's presided over fraud really as a business 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.800 model in California. This is not the first major fraud 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.920 to come out during Governor Gavin Newsom's administration. During COVID, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.880 the Unemployment Department in California was defrauded of twenty billion 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.240 dollars in federal funds more than thirty billion dollars overall. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:31.640 The money was stolen by international crime syndicates and Julie Sue, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.680 who directed that department, was promoted. She was the acting 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.920 Labor Secretary in the Biden administration, and now she's in 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.280 New York. She's the Deputy mayor for Economic Justice. And 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.800 that's the culture under Gavin Newsom. There is no punishment 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.560 for fraud. The audits that come back from the state 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.520 auditor are ignored by the legislature. There's no accountability, and 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.520 you simply get promoted you fail up. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:58.480 Well, that's not disappointing at all. Here's your essay question. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:06.000 Sue, who presided over that enormous theft of taxpayer dollars 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:11.440 gets promoted to Biden's administration and now is helping run 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.760 New York the economic justice or whatever. Even as a lefty, 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:21.480 as a progressive, if somebody had presided over that sort 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.160 of waste and abuse of a government program, why would 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.040 you want them? 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.640 I don't know there is an answer to that question. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:30.720 Do okay, what's the answer. Then? 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.640 Well, the answer is the first thing Joe Pollock said, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.800 Newsom has been running California with fraud is the business model. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.920 It's all spreading out enormous amounts of money. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:42.400 Yeah. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.480 I guess if you're a bunch of crooks taking money. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.480 Then I get that, But if you're just an actual 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.480 progressive voter, you shouldn't want this kind of waste. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.080 That doesn't it doesn't help your cause. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.800 Yeah, it's that diconomy or the different layers that I've 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.320 been talking about lately. You've got your activist to your 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.040 hardcore active who know precisely what they're doing, and then 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:07.320 you've got the nice people who hear the moral arguments 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.760 that those activists make and they think they're being. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.320 Sincere right, they're not. I wish you could get the 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.200 average progressive voter. You know, if you're looking at a 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.880 dollar a dollar to be as excited about a dollar 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.600 from a wasted program as you are as excited about 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.680 a dollar from a taxpayer. Because you get all excited 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.160 about more taxes for teachers or homeless or whatever. You 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.880 think it is important. You want that dollar, But how 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.120 don't you care about the dollar that's not going toward 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:38.720 anything good? 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.160 Over here? 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:45.039 Right with the completely fraudulent bullet trainer whatever got progressive 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.240 should be leading the charge to all of that money 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.039 could be spent on. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:54.159 Want to pick your gauze schools, vaccines, whatever you're into. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.000 the activists Gavin Newsom Julius suit. They're criminals. They are 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.279 absolutely criminals. They're porters or soft heads who fall for 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.080 the false moral argument. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.120 Next clip, Michael, this is just the tip of the iceberg, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.440 and you just have to look at how much spending 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.560 there is in California. We now spend twice what we 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.360 spent a decade ago, and yet you don't see public 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.560 services becoming twice as good. You don't see the results 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.200 in the quality of the roads around you or the 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.360 performance of the schools. So if you've got another one 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.279 hundred and fifty hundred and sixty billion dollars going out 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.760 the door, the question is where is it going. Some 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.440 of it is going to government programs that don't work. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.559 So there's twenty four billion dollars that has been spent 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.000 on homelessness with very little impact, and some of it 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.680 is simply being siphoned off. We have state programs that 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.240 dole out money to vendors and to non government organizations 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.120 that have a lot of overhead, that don't produce results, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.640 and that happen to have the right political connections. We've 0:05:54.720 --> 0:06:00.000 essentially institutionalized a fraudulent process, and it doesn't produce value, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.039 nor does it produce any kind of return. We've had 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.640 four years in a row now of budget deficits. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.960 Did the story not long ago about a bunch of 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.080 it was San Francisco. But it's, you know, just a 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.960 microcosmic California. You have all these different commissions and offices 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.680 and all they do is once in a great while 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.960 they crank out a report for each other. But you've 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:27.560 got one hundred eight hundred, twenty five hundred people on 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.039 the payroll who will always, always, always vote Democrat. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.279 That's the scam as hold as politics. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.640 Hey, California Post, let's work together. Armstrong and Getty show. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.480 We're on in the Capitol, We're on in San Francisco, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.880 We're on in La We're on in San Diego and 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.440 many many other cities across the country. We're perfect together, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.919 We're perfect riverside. Come on, we'll let you, We'll let 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.400 everybody know that you exist, and they'll read your stuff. 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.520 Last clip, by the way, it's amazing what the state 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.080 does find money to do. The news this morning is 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.800 that Gavin Newsom wants to spend ninety million more dollars 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.720 Planned Parenthood on abortions. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.120 This in a state with a deficit. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.000 That's between three billion dollars if you believe Newsome, or 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.280 eighteen billion dollars if you believe the non partisan Legislative 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.880 Analyst's office. But still we find things that we can 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.240 spend money on, like gerrymandering and abortion and suing the 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.840 Trump administration. But somehow we can't improve the services. That's 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.000 a red flag that there must be some fraud going 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.600 on in the system at a systemic level. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:30.360 And it's impossible to vote the Democrats out, which is 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.600 the really discouraging part. But we're not here to discourage you, 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.160 and so we will not dwell upon that. That's a good, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:37.880 solid report. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.119 I've got much more discouragement because I want to repeat 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.880 something I at the other day. This is enough to 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:43.360 make you. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:45.360 Give up. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.440 I mentioned this the other day, so I apologize for 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.960 we heard it before, but I thought it was so good. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.680 So this woman, Megan mccartill writes for the Washington Post, 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.840 she's also with the Dispatch, made the argument that these 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.360 things never go anywhere, and she went over a whole 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.080 bunch of examples over the many, many, many decades that 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.480 this has happened. Were huge thefts of taxpayer money and 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.320 they become big stories, but nobody ever pays a price, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.120 and voters just feel the same way. I probably feel 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.840 like that, what are you gonna do? These scandals don't 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:26.520 have the appropriate penalty at the end. They just don't historically, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.000 which is very depressing. I believe that's because of the 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.000 Getty mccrdal principle. I'm gonna put myself in front of 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:43.320 Megan h. People cannot picture and feel they took a 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.840 bunch of my money out of my check and threw 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.440 it away. They get that they took money out of 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.040 the check the government did, and they get that the 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.880 government wastes money or hands it out to crony's, But 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.160 for some reason they don't connect those two you know, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:06.960 power lines together and have the right the obvious emotional 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.839 reaction to that, which is just totally partly because you 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.760 have narrowed the tax base intentionally as much as possible 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.280 so that there are never enough taxpayers that are actually 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.559 being stolen from to vote you out of office. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:20.320 That's true. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.280 If yeah, like with federal money, if you got half 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.520 of people aren't paying federal income tax, they don't, you 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.800 can't get them worked up about it. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:27.120 At all. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:32.599 Don't you care about how federal income taxes are being spent? No, No, 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.600 I don't. I'm getting it, So I'm happy about that. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:38.800 Yeah, I don't know. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.720 It's uh and I think it's always been true, probably 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.080 that you couldn't connect those feelings you're talking about combined 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.040 with the it's it's too big. I can't I can't 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.479 do anything about it. There's no way I could organize. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.199 I don't have the time to like organize enough people 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.840 in a movement to combat that. So I just all 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:01.800 I I do is get disappointed and move on with 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.319 my day. But I think there were enough ethical people 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.360 over the first two hundred and fifty years that it 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.040 didn't get completely out of hand. Patriots, Yeah, I think 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:19.439 when you lose enough ethics around government, there's nothing stopping 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.400 them from stealing, and we just don't push back. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.840 It's just it's going. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.160 To grow and grow and grow and go and go, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.000 or we're gonna find there's way. Minnesota and California are 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.280 just you know, two examples that happens all over the place. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.319 There are days I'm able to step outside my disgust 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.559 and anger as a taxpayer and a patriots. Somebody who 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.640 loves this country, and actually just I feel like I'm 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.480 watching Ocean's eleven or one of those Kaper movies where 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:50.800 I'm against armed robbery. Of course i am, or like 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.280 some bank robbery drama. I can name a couple of 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.080 them that I've really enjoyed. And you know, it's a 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.880 super clever scheme, and so you kind of on that level, 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:07.120 the selling of the progressive tax code as a moral 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.240 imperative because people who make more should not only pay 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.160 more in taxes, they should pay a higher percentage in 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.680 taxes because they need to pay their fair share. Selling 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.520 that in order to narrow the tax base as much 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.560 as possible so that you can never be affected. I'm sorry, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.640 you can never be elected out. You can never be 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.480 booted out in an election because the number of people 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.360 who are offended at your scheme is not enough. That 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:42.239 is a brilliant maneuver. That is George Clooney robbing the casino. Smart. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.640 It's evil, it's horrible, but it's clever. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.200 Yeah, it's a depressing I think I really stumbled upon 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.120 it with the The only way this worked was that 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.000 there are enough ethical people that wouldn't steal, even though 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.520 they could well. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.800 And I just think the scammers have ificiencies in the 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.760 modern era with modern media and the internet and the 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.959 acceptance well, one of the main factors is the acceptance 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.160 of the welfare state. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.839 It wasn't very long ago. It's a handful of generations. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.160 Ago that people would not take charity if they were 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:21.000 eligible for it because it was too embarrassing. I don't 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.600 take no charity, and we've gone to the other extreme. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.240 Where's mine says everything? 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.160 Yeah, I would say so. I have a bit of 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:30.320 a breaking news thing. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.959 I don't know when you will hear this, but law 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.800 enforcement is expected to release a photo of a potential 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:41.280 suspect in the gu three case. Okay, we'll see what 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.400 that is whenever that happens. That's the only thing that's happened, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.760 because nothing has happened in the last twenty four hours. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.320 We're just wondering if maybe this story was completely over. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:56.719 But they say they're my theory. Yeah, it's Don Lemon publicity. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:02.680 Ho Don Lemon. He's gone too far this time. You 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.480 know Ashley Banfield who last week went around claiming the 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.880 son in law did it. I have sources saying it 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.880 was the sun law. Okay, do you So why do 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.600 you have sources nobody else has? What an awful thing 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.600 to say, awful, awful. We got more of the waist here. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.319 Epstein wrote an email claiming that Bill Gates was worried 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.040 that he got an STV from one of the Russian girls, 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.480 and he wanted Epstein to hook him up with an 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:41.839 antibiotic they could slip into his wife's coffee. I mean, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.720 of all the slazy things I've ever heard, and of 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.679 all the people not to have anti virus protection. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.840 Wow, that's in the Epstein file. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.400 So Bill Gates thought he got an STD probably gave 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.400 it to his wife and was gonna slip antibotics into 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.760 her coffee to try to get her over the STD. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.920 He didn't want to have to tell her that she 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:07.440 bright have. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.240 Yeah, this is a super interesting aspect of this. I 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.360 was just reading about this or before the show. Epstein 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.760 wrote an email to himself and sent it to himself 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.440 talking about all the conversations he'd had with Bill Gates, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.160 including about that that's where that story comes from. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.120 Why did he send an email to himself about that? 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:35.440 Wanted a paper trail, wanted to remind himself, have it handy, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:36.440 have the list handy. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.080 Yeah, see, there's some speculation I was watching people discuss 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:46.480 this of he having been through this before, knew that 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.480 a lot of these things might be dug into an investigation, 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.680 and just wanted the whole bunch of stuff out there 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:54.160 like this. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.280 Hmm, I don't know exactly what. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.560 I don't quite that's two five dimensional chests for me 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:06.360 to completely figure out, you know, most of his nefarious Uh, 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.520 he was a people. 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.600 Collector, he was an We talked about this earlier, but 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.600 he was an unbelievably skillful networker. I wonder if he 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.600 also had an in case I need it. Uh, the 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.480 carrot isn't working, Let's bring out the stick file on 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:22.640 verious important people. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.800 You know, it's this is ancient wisdom, But if you 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.320 live your life a certain way, do the right thing, 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.200 it's so much easier. I mean, just so much easier 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.920 in so many different ways. You know you're not lying anybody, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.360 you're not cheating, you're not you know you're not. There's 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.480 another shoe, wasn't up about ready to drop all the time. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:49.840 Imagine the stress of I probably gave my wife an STD. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.880 I need to figure out how to cure her of 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.200 that without letting her know I was cheating and gave 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:56.800 her an SDD. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.120 I mean, God, who wants to do You're one of 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:00.480 the richest people planet Earth. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.880 You could have such an enjoyable life doing so many things, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.800 and I'm sure his life was dominated for days, weeks 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.160 or months with this which he brought on himself. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:18.560 Yeah, so crazy. I mean he could do literally anything. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.040 Money can buy on planet Earth, and he got himself 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:21.960 into that situation. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.800 Wow, sounds very stressful. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.920 Yeah, being like an ultra nerd type like Bill Gates was, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.120 and then having spectacular wealth which gets you access to 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.920 Russian hookers apparently, and you know, all sorts of women 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.360 who'd throw themselves at you. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.520 He was probably ill prepared to deal with that. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.880 So Jake Tapper, at least on CNN is still in 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.400 a denim shirt down in Arizona reporting on the Savannah 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.800 Guthries mom situation, like that's where he's broadcasting his show from. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.320 That's how big a deal they still think it is. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.640 But there's a report out that the FBI is going 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.320 to release the image of a person who appears to 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.600 be wearing a mask and carrying backpacker tools, hoping somebody 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.439 will recognize the person that may have broken into the 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:12.200 house and taken Nancy Guthrie. So that's a tiny bit 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.160 of information today that's different than the last several days. Okay, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.360 we got more on the way coming. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.480 Up, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.840 The Seattle Seahawks are the Super Bowl champions. They made 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.840 short work of the New England Patriots. Quarterback Drake May 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.920 became the second Drake in a row to take a 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:33.480 beating at the Super Bowl. The Seahawks defense kept the 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.520 temperature alone. Most of the excitement came from the ads. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.080 It was maybe the weirdest year for Super Bowl commercials ever. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.960 There were like two beer commercials. The rest were for Ai, 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.680 Jesus and Mike Tyson telling you to eat apples. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.960 Yeah, I remember, wasn't that many years ago, Manna. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:52.880 It was all. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.520 White beers and pop of various kinds, pepsi and coke. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.560 Now it's Ai because the world's going crazy. So I 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.240 came across this internet battle between a couple of people. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:05.439 I don't know who they are, and it doesn't make 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.680 any difference, but it is all over the issue of. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.000 Fat positive isness. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.200 What do you call it? Fat positivity? Body positivity? Yeah, yeah, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.520 fat accept its acceptance. That's what it is that James 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.560 Lindsay has written about before. And we went through this thing, 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.359 or we're still going through this thing. It's got these examples. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.840 This one person posted from covers of Cosmopolitan magazine with 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:38.000 some very very overweight women like you know, really you're really, really, 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.720 really big and this is healthy and this is the 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.440 new healthy or something like that, and how we got 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:50.080 on that kick of I think like we overreacted. Maybe 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:55.119 I don't know, because nobody, nobody wants to be that 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.200 size right now. So I mean, you know, you can 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.919 make the argument that it's well, I don't know, I 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:05.719 don't even know what to take from this, but nobody 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.960 wants to be that size, so suggesting being not that 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.960 size would be better. I would I would think you 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:16.080 could say that out loud, but maybe you can't. Maybe 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.320 you can't anyway. So this is back and forth between 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:24.639 these people as I was mentioning and it included this, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:30.119 which I thought was really something, and then they blame 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.480 it on big pharma and all these different things going 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.840 back and forth. But this is an article from the 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:39.000 New York Times. Some doctors wait a while before trying 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.240 to get patients to lose weight because if you bring 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:47.080 it up, they get very angry. And this is from 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.119 the article. Doctor Scott Hagen, a Seattle primary care doctor, 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:54.600 goes further edging toward an obesity last approach that is 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:58.040 common among doctors. If a patient comes in with obesity 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.240 and obesity related conditions, he starts by treating the related 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.520 conditions with drugs he knows he can work only later 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.359 when the patients are comfortable with him, and if the 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.679 other conditions are not improved, will he discuss trying the 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.600 obesity drugs focusing on losing weight. People with obesity, added, 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.640 tend to have a long history of relationships with doctors 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.280 who blame them for their weight, despite their having spent years, 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.359 even decades, trying diets and exercise. Many of them, he says, well, 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.760 put off the first thing he tries to treat, which 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.040 is obesity. 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:33.879 Huh. 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:39.600 So are doctors afraid to say, well, you're really, really overweight? 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.600 Is what the problem is here. 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.879 There's another little part of this if I can't find it, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.680 but it was basically. 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:46.520 On the. 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.840 Finally, now that glps have become so popular and so 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.280 many people have lost weight with them, is it. 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.560 Okay to say out loud, and I don't know what. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.879 To extend any of this is true that you can 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.000 say out loud these things or can't say out loud 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.520 that you know your knees, your ankles, your joints, your back, 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.000 all these different sorts of things were because of your weight, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.000 and that's why you had these problems. But I never 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:13.960 said talk to you. Know, I would treat you for 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.040 your knee pain, but we wouldn't talk about the fact 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.600 that your four hundred pounds is why your knees hurt 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.679 all the time. Right, And now that the gops have 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.560 become more popular, you can say out loud that, well, 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.359 you had knee pain because you were a soberweight. 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:28.240 You think there's a truth to. 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.680 That, Yeah, yeah, I do. I've never been a doctor. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.360 Uh played doctor as a younger man. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:38.600 But successfully did it. Usually work didn't hurt. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:45.160 So I can see, especially as they describe people who've 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.160 tried and tried and tried and tried to lose weight. 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.120 If the doctor just at the outset gets after him 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.680 you got to lose some weight, You gotta lose some weight, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:57.160 they don't want to hear it anymore, so they turn 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:57.520 it off. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.240 So the doctor can't help them. I don't have any 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:00.720 idea what doctors do. 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:06.239 But doctors certainly should say if you got like your 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.280 knees and your ankles are hurt all the time, and 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:12.639 your four hundred and fifty pounds, say have you tried 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.760 losing weight? Because I think your weight is the main 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.960 reason your knees hurt. And then they can say, yeah, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:20.960 I go to the gym five days a week and 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.960 eat nothing but lettuce, although that's probably not the I mean, 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:28.720 acting like that's the most common case is probably not accurate. 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:35.120 Right, So. 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.080 What are doctors supposed to do? Treat it with drugs 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:41.280
