It's Friay and 6 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: today we're under the jutelage of our general manager. The 7 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: Nobel Piece of crap, That's what I say. Trump didn't 8 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: get it. The Nobel pizza crap. Can't keep it from 9 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: seven of yours. Yeah, they announced Nobel Piece Prize. It's 10 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: some chick who's fighting communism or something whatever, bravely had 11 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: risk of her own life every single day. That's right, Yeah, 12 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: some incredibly courageous you know something or other. Now Trump 13 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: wasn't expecting to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year, 14 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: was he? I mean, oh yeah, yeah. There was an 15 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: eleventh hour like hardcore press really because I just would 16 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: assumed all the voting and all the decision making was 17 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: done at least a week ago, if not a month ago. 18 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: You know who chooses the winner? Five Norwegian jackasses? I know, 19 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: I've why did we do a deep dive on this 20 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: a couple of oh when Barack Obama won it, I think, 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: which was ridiculous and he knew it. But we did 22 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: a deep dive on the Nobel Peace Prize and figured 23 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: out as everybody does it. Yeah, it's five Norwegian jackasses. 24 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: Anybody can be nominated, Like if you got a friend 25 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: who works at a university, you can get nominated for 26 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the Nobo piece press. And I mean it's just like 27 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: a twenty five dollar fee. Ar was at the time, 28 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: congratulations on the guy who invented dynamite and had a 29 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: bunch of money left over and decided to set up 30 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: this prize system to try to encourage people to do 31 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: good science and write good books and you know, work 32 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: for peace. How it got elevated to like God's own 33 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: word of what is the best of this is? Yeah, 34 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened. You know, it's a 35 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: peculiar aspect of Trump's ego that he really wants the 36 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: prize to put on the shelf and so he can 37 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: claim he got it. I heard the fabulous historian Neil 38 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: Ferguson say the other day, really, after high school, you 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't be worried about awards. The achievement is the award. 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: You've done it. You don't need some five Norwegian jackasses 41 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: according to some sources to give you a certificate. Come 42 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: on and well for one thing. A year from now, 43 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: I think this will seem so far in the distance past, 44 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: plus all of the all the complications will have shown themselves, 45 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: so it might look completely different. So it'd be tough 46 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: for him to win next year. I think. Yeah, he's 47 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: made the case that he's intervened in a positive way 48 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: in quite a number of conflicts. He's kind of exaggerated 49 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: how many, in what effect the US had and some 50 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: of them. But it wouldn't have been unquestionable. He is 51 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: on a crusade to stop people slaughtering each other. It 52 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been crazy to give him the Nobel Prize, 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: not at all at all. Oh, you know, I was 54 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: thinking about that. People keep talking about the whole He 55 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: seems to be like really bothered by death in wars 56 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. My son was watching the ridiculous 57 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: movie Primitive War, which, once again, if you have not 58 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: heard of it, it was in the theaters for like 59 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: a day, but before they realized, oh geez, nobody wants 60 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: to see this, and then they so they re released 61 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: it on streaming services. I gotta watch it. It's it's 62 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: Apocalypse Now meets Jurassic Park. It's a serious Vietnam war 63 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: movie with dinosaurs, right, and it's so it's such a 64 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: ridiculous present. Francis for Kopla is kicking himself as we speak. 65 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: I should have had dinosaurs, Marlon Brando and dinosaurs. And 66 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: it's got some real actors in it, known actors turning 67 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: in serious performances. It's like, it's not like a Sharknado 68 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: where they were trying to be funny, right, They're not 69 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: trying to be funny in this movie. They're trying to 70 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: be completely serious. You get me those marines back, you 71 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: know who just got eaten by a dinosaur. Anyway, it 72 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: was my point. Oh, I was watching the movie and 73 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: I just I think it's age. I just like the 74 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: idea of young men dying because they were told to 75 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: go take that hill just is so awful to me 76 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: at this point in my life, regardless whether Russians or 77 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: Americans or whoever. Just the whole premise is so horrible, 78 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: and I wonder, as an old man if he isn't 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: you know, in that stage of life where you just 80 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: it just seems so awful that it ever has to happen, 81 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: and he wants to stop these wars wherever you can't. 82 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: It takes a little life experience and a little perspective 83 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: to understand what you are sacrificing. You're sacrificing everything that 84 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: happens after that age, right, Yeah, maybe that's it. Yeah, 85 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: maybe that probably is it. You know, when you're twenty 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: and you don't care if you find me, I'll die, 87 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: die by thirty and leave it to and corpse, you know, 88 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: when you're twenty, And that doesn't sound like the best 89 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: idea when you're sixty. But so he might be really 90 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: really into this idea of stopping wars, but it wouldn't 91 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: have been a crazy idea to give it to him. 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: But there's a quote I heard a couple of times 93 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: this week. I think it was Tony Blair going off 94 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: to some Middle East piece something or other and saying 95 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: to Bill Clinton, if I won the Nobel Prize, you'll 96 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: know I failed with the idea that the Nobel Peace 97 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Prize has gone to the people for things that didn't 98 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: work out many many times. Yeah, right right. Yeah, I 99 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: think it's just as you indicated, it's just overrated as 100 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: a thing. It's like the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. It's 101 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: the woke Pultzer folks saying, yeah, you argued my point 102 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: of view realized, so I'm gonna give it to you. 103 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's been some wonderful journalism that's won those prizes, 104 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: but it's just kind of it's tainted these days. So 105 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: just do the good work. The good work is the 106 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: reward for the good work. True, but you don't get 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: to put a good work metal on your wall, point 108 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: to it, or on your resume. Does Trump need a resume? 109 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Well no, just in general. Mm hm oh yeah, I 110 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: would look good. It'd be in the first line of 111 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: his obituary. Speaking of Pulitzers. Yeah, that's good point. First 112 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: line my obituary would be overrated underachieving radio guy is 113 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: finally dead, mainly dead. So I don't know who wrote 114 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: this obituary, but he'll win zero Pulitzers. Not a friend obviously. 115 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: You know what, I think the smartestes typewriter tapper in 116 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: America might be Peggy Noonan. She is a brilliant currently 117 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: editorial writer for The Wall Street Journal, Longsbury to Reagan 118 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: speechwriter et cetera her analysis of the Trump Peace Deal 119 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: and Trump and all it blew away virtually everything else 120 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: I read. Well, that's overstates it, because I read some 121 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: good stuff. It was, it was uniquely wise. So we'll 122 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: share that with you. You have some of that for us, 123 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: because I actually haven't read it. I just saw a 124 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: link to it, and uh oh it's so good. Yeah, 125 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: so good. It doesn't surprise.

Yeah, what I would like 169 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: to know is and a lot of it was cool 170 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: because in team sports you should have the attitude is 171 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: we wouldn't lose as a team, and blah blah blah 172 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: all that for real. But man, all the players that 173 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: came over to try to you know, say it's okay 174 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. But the manager really grabbed him and talked 175 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: to him for a long time. Did you see that 176 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: when he was going into the tunnel I with I 177 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: thought was cool. I would love to know what he 178 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: said to him, because he talked to him for quite 179 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: a while. Did he say to him, Look, I think 180 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: you're going to become you remember Billy Buckner. I think 181 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: you're going to become a household name. There are gonna 182 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: be a lot of memes if you'd kill myself, stay 183 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: off the internet, stay probably get a new job, change 184 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: your name, grow a fake mustache, Listen to a lot 185 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: of jobs in HVAC. These days. The trades are hot. 186 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: But you probably it's over for you. Everything you've ever 187 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: cared about is over? Is that what he said? He 188 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: can go key coach at college, well, high school team, 189 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: but they're going to bring it up all the time. 190 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: Even as a coach in the high school team, every player, 191 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: every year, the new freshman's gonna say, what was it 192 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: like that? One time? And you made the most embarrassing 193 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: play anybody'd ever seen on national television. Son, I got 194 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: a question for you. If John Wilkes Booth was still alive, 195 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: how often do you think they'd ask him about acting? 196 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: Never is the answer? Never shooting Lincoln. This is your 197 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: shooting Lincoln. Okay, Oh he must not have known there 198 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: was two outers. I forgot there was two out there. 199 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Who knows well yeah, wells as not only a former 200 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: baseball player but a pitcher. You are so close to 201 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: home plate and you have a force out anywhere, it's 202 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: easy to forget that. The guy on third was poised 203 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: like a sprinter halfway up the line to come home. 204 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: The batter was screwing himself into the batter's box trying 205 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: to hit the ball. He's still standing there. You've got 206 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: all day to throw to first. But the temptation look 207 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: home plates right there. It's such a short play it well, 208 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: and it was a terrible throw. So, I mean, not 209 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: only was it the wrong place, but it was the 210 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: catcher couldn't catch it. Well, he rushed it because he 211 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: had to rush it. But enough baseball talk. Probably Well, 212 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: I didn't want to make a baseball talk. I wanted 213 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: to make it failing in life talk, which anybody can 214 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: relate to. I mean, just a huge, huge, giant Oh 215 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: my god, how did I make this mistake? How am 216 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: I going to live with this? How am I going 217 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: to forget that I did this? Right? Wow, it's a 218 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: two foot putt to win the Masters scenario, although you 219 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: know they weren't necessarily gonna win, but they would have 220 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: stayed alive anyway, poor kid, I don't know what you 221 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: could relate it to another life like you. I don't know. 222 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: You didn't get the paperwork in on a giant business 223 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: deal all time or something. I don't know what. But 224 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: that is rough. That is rough. We do have clips 225 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: of the week.

I love 334 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: it that we need at least fifty of the Palestinian 335 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: government to be trans women and two phase real I 336 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: uh tolt this flag that from that man that was 337 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: burning it in the streets. Do you know who he is? 338 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: That're the Attorney general and let's start prosecutions. Senator, I 339 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people like they were out 340 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: rotesting with a team box. You're a vehicle driven by 341 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: Border patrol agents, was allegedly rammed and boxed in by 342 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: two cars. One of the things I've been dealing with 343 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: all day here in Portland is a bunch of pansies. 344 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: So when this person is committing six or seven crimes. 345 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't know his or her story. Maybe they were 346 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: abused as a child, maybe they're hungry. And then this 347 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: is the most stupid thing I think I've ever witnessed 348 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. You're a complete total embarrassment. Yeah, you're 349 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: embarrassing yourself in your district right now. So I'm anxious 350 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: to immure the to her. J Jones sent texts that 351 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: imagine shooting the Republican Speaker of the House. Can you 352 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: tell me why my phone records when I'm the chairman 353 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the Jack Smith agents. 354 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: What do you say to the forty percent of California 355 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted 356 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: for Trump? How would I need them in order to win? 357 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 2: Man? Well to those voters, Okay, so you I don't 358 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 2: want to keep doing this, I'm gonna call it. 359 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, and mistake could lose four you're out 360 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: of my phone shop. The Hey, no, that's too many 361 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: things that have happened this week. Here by declaire, we 362 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: need fewer things to happen. I would say three a day, 363 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: four if the fourth one is fun. Four things can 364 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: happen per day and that's enough. But it's a week 365 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: that Katie Porter woman would like to try again. 366 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: Get out of my shot. 367 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a shot. You herbungulous. She has she has 368 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: got to be one of those people that has hundreds 369 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: of persons in her wake rooting for her to fail 370 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: because she has made them so angry. Correct. Correct, We 371 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: could philosophize on that, but we don't really have time. 372 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: Let's see the other side I was going to make. 373 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: I can wait. So my two favorite analyses of the 374 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: peace deal. First one comes from a trio of reporters 375 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal who really highlight the fact 376 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: that forever the tradition has been your lower level guys, 377 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: your diplomats work for weeks, months, years to iron out 378 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: differences behind the scenes, getting way, way way into the 379 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: weeds and the neuchet and only when that is hashed 380 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: out do the leaders swoop in and say we have 381 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: a deal. And Trump did it upside down. He said, 382 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: you agree to the basics, right, you agree to the basics. Right, 383 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: we have an agreement. We're going to hash out the details. 384 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: But if anybody flakes, somebody kill you. In essence, that's 385 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: a grosser of simplification. Of the pressures he could exert 386 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: as the president of the United States. But that's essentially 387 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: the way it went, and it's you know, you'll get paywalled. 388 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: I'd put the link up, but I'm not sure you 389 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: can get to it. But it's great analysis. It's a 390 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: very different way to do things. It's very real estate developers. 391 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: But my fave of I heard somebody saying yesterday about 392 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: how it was an advantage that he doesn't come with 393 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: any ideological baggage of like really being invested in the 394 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Palestinian cause if here on that side, or you know, 395 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: Christenham being saved along with Judeo blah blah, and he 396 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: has none of that. It's just right making a deal 397 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: with all of that extraneous stuff not involved. I actually 398 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: heard somebody who I really like and respect talking, but 399 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: they come at a lot of this from an academic background, 400 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: and we're mentioning all sorts of paradigms and structural analyses 401 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: and theories of governmental organization and interaction and the rest 402 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: of it. Sometimes that stuff helps, sometimes it's just academic 403 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: claptrap in my opinion anyway, So Peggy Noonan with a 404 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: great piece in the Journal. I'm gonna skip over a 405 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: bunch of it and summarize it for you. First of all, 406 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: she says, give Trump your applause. Fully, she has a 407 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: wink at how Trump and his announcement was that it 408 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: was a big, big day, a beautiful day, potentially one 409 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: of the greatest days ever in civilization, and that is funny. 410 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: She describes the multi part piece plan. She says, here, 411 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: any reliable pundit would counsel caution, it could all fall apart. 412 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: My joy may be premature, all true, but I'll take 413 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: my joy premature, bartender. She makes the point that you've 414 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: been making. We haven't come this close and forever, really, 415 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: And then she talks about the Barnman and Bailey aspect 416 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration, not the chaos, but like the 417 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: color or the human, non gray academic feel to it. 418 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: Talks about Trump's support, but then she gets to the 419 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: part I really like, I want to pay tribute to 420 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: the wonderful, creative insanity Donald Trump can display on the 421 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: international front. At moments when the Mideast is blowing up, 422 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: American presidents always begin to ape the language, preoccupations, and 423 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: granular knowledge of the regional experts, some of whom follow 424 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: from White House to White House. It's always into the 425 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: weeds with them. The settler issue may complicate the loan 426 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: guarantee schedule if the sixty seven lines are even retrievable. 427 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: It was all opaque and meaningless and meant to be. 428 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: That isn't what mister Trump did in this crisis. He 429 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: looked at the whole complicated picture, the long history, the 430 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: writing etched on the stones of the oldest archaeological sites, 431 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: and said, that's fabulous. Beachfront property going a waste. We 432 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: can build a luxury resort with hotels, casinos, beaches, a 433 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: slide for the kids. And she says, decorous bordellos with 434 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: golden stairways. Actually, what he said in February was that goaz, 435 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: it could be the riviera of the Middle East. It 436 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: has the best weather, etc. Generated those Ai pictures that 437 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: we all chuckled at. A few days later, Peggy Wrice, 438 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: I saw a friend who knows his foreign affairs, and 439 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: he said, do you believe the idiocy of this guy? 440 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: And I surprised him. I kind of liked it. I 441 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: think I love it, I said, because it was absurdist. 442 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: And here's the part, Peggy Noon is so smart because 443 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: it was absurdist. It changed the picture you have in 444 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: your head. It was a reorienting thought. The world knows 445 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, and yet yeah, that land would come cheap 446 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: and it could be a gold mind gold mine. It 447 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: was so trumpion. He thinks everything can be a big 448 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: building with his name on it. But in his insane way, 449 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: he was saying, imagine it differently, and for a second 450 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: you did. The region is full of greedy, grasping men 451 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: on all sides. They feel more secure in their palaces 452 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: when their people are employed. And an eighteen year old 453 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: boy on the street would think, I'd like to not 454 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: live in a sand hole. But we're a tuxedo and 455 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: a casino with girls and sequins walking by. Can't we 456 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: rely on simple human vice for progress anymore? I'd like 457 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: to not live in a sand hole. Yes, here is 458 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: something the world needs more of. It comes from the 459 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: old parable of the prisoners in the cell, and it 460 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: has many variations. A handful of prisoners are chained to 461 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: a wall in a room and only one of them 462 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: can see through the window high up. Instead of saying 463 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the truth, there's nothing out there, just there, he describes 464 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: for his cellmate's beautiful scenes, people strolling on the street, 465 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: a pretty girl, the sun is shining. He dies, and 466 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: new prisoners dragged in and put in his chains. He 467 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: can see the window and they ask what's outside today. 468 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: He almost speaks, looks at them, realizes everything. He has 469 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: a job give them something to live for. He looks 470 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: out the window and says, there's a parade and a 471 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: great princess is walking by in all her finery. It 472 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: isn't bad to give people something to live for. And 473 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: she says, I close with the special force of the 474 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: idiotic idea. Sometimes in life you're an idiot. You make 475 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: the investment based on insufficient data because you got a 476 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: feeling in your gut. You marry the guy you met 477 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: three days ago. Sometimes you go broke and tell your 478 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: funny story about the importance of due diligence the young investors. 479 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes you tell your story about the Elvis Chapelin Vegas 480 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: on your thirty eighth anniversary as your grandchildren eat chocolate cake. 481 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: It isn't the worst thing to have a good story 482 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: to tell, and some do end well, that's it. But 483 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: I really really liked that part about how about we 484 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: just chuck everything and reimagine what this area could be. 485 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: I'll bet Donald Trump doesn't even know what you're talking 486 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: about when you talk about the sixty seven lines, I'll 487 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: bet he has no concept of that and doesn't care 488 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: and doesn't care. Says what difference would that make? What's 489 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: that got to do with any right? Right? Yeah? Well, 490 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: the Ballthorne declaration, What are you even talking about? Oy? 491 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: It's an odd person to quote, and I hesitate to 492 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: even mention who I heard say this. It was Donald Rumsfeld, 493 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: who had some good ideas and some bad ideas, and 494 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: some good ideas he implemented horrifically. But he said something 495 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: really interesting. When you have an intractable problem, make it bigger. 496 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: And that's what Trump did. And Jared Kushner and I 497 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: don't know what Steve Whitkoff's actual involvement was, but his team, 498 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: Trump's team, they looked at the Israel Hamas thing Gaza 499 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: October seventh, and they made the problem bigger. The whole 500 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: Middle East is screwed up. You have these forces, and 501 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: these forces, what if we could get all of them 502 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: to agree on precepts? Who do we have to punch 503 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: in the mouth and who do we have to bribe 504 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 1: and they went to work. Yeah, And as we were 505 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: talking about yesterday, one of his greatest strengths is he 506 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: doesn't care what anybody thinks. And one of his biggest, 507 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: you know things that holds him back is he doesn't 508 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: care what anybody thinks. But they're pointing out this morning 509 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: on MSNBC the amazing thing that was him going to 510 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: Middle East and visiting all those Arab countries and not 511 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: going to Israel. How many times do you hear is 512 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: the first time a US president has gone to the 513 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Middle East and not visited Israel. He went to all 514 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: those Arab countries, met with all those people talking about 515 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: this stuff apparently, and skipped Israel. He didn't care that 516 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: no president had ever done that before. The the detractors 517 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: say that is as a bad look, but he didn't care. 518 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: It signals blah blah blah. Right, a few weeks later, 519 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: a few days later, nobody cared and yeah, right, and 520 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: he reached out to bbe if he thought it was necessary, 521 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: and obviously things worked out fine. Well, the point was 522 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: it made all those Arab leaders think, Okay, he's serious 523 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: about trying to, you know, figure out our end of 524 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: the deal, right right, absolutely true. And this all follows 525 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: on the heels of his courageous for some reason finally saying, yeah, 526 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, Norse, it is shocking, 527 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: Earth's shaking. Oh my god, President's setting. Every president has 528 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: said it, but nobody would let them do it. And 529 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: the Trump said, what the hell are we doing here? Yeah, 530 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that's a good one quick before we take a break, 531 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: just because you brought it up. I've been watching the 532 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson nine to eleven documentary in five parts. I'm 533 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: two parts in anyway, it's got some rumspelled clips on it. 534 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: And I've always wondered why people mock the Donald Rumsfeld 535 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: moment where he talked about their known unknowns their unknown unknowns, 536 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: and it's always mocked, And I think that's a brilliant 537 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: way to look at things. Oh yeah, yeah, why is 538 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: that mocked? Like silly or simplified or something. I don't 539 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: know why that is. It has been something like a 540 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: word game of some sort. I don't know. I don't 541 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: know either. That's a great way to look at at 542 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: life or problems. Yeah, we got known knowns, known unknowns 543 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: and unknown unknowns, right, I don't know. I don't know 544 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: why that's a problem. Anyway, we got mailbag on the way, 545 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff stay here. So you know, 546 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: a job I would like to have if I were smarter, 547 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: I'd like to be an AI jail breaker. I was 548 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: just reading about that in the Times. That would be 549 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: a cool job. We'll explain that in our two really 550 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: interesting AI story. Also, I've been reading Katie's thing she 551 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: brought us earlier. Running noses, black toenails, and coregasms, weird 552 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: ailments that can be triggered by exercising and trap running nose. 553 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with black toenails. I'd rather not have. But 554 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: the third one is the intriguing. Well, there's a couple 555 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: others that I won't even say right now, rough things 556 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: that can happen when you're exercising. Here's your freedom love 557 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: you quote of the day. It's from Gina Jenny Rimetti, 558 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: whoever that is, and it doesn't really matter. Continuing our 559 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: finishing up our series on change, I like this one. 560 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: Growth and comfort do not coexist. Wow, that is. I 561 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: like a lot of these, but the want to write 562 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: them down and carry them in my pocket or few 563 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: and far between. I want to write that one down 564 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: and garriyt in my pocket. Yeah say it again. Growth 565 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: and comfort do not coexist. So true pain as now 566 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: you end up with black fingernails and toenails in the gym. 567 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with this phrase. Pain is the touch tone 568 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: of spiritual growth. It's a very similar thing. Now now, wow, 569 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: comfort does not go along with growth. That's a good one. 570 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: More or less. Yes, a mailbag drops note mail bag 571 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Here's a note from David. 572 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: If I'm arrested in California and sam a female, I 573 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: go to female prison. If I sam a furry do 574 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: I go to it kennel? Yes, I don't know.

Getting them to clean 578 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: up would be the amazing thing. Took me five years 579 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: to get them to at least put the dishes in 580 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: the sink. Another two to the dish offer. That's from 581 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: the One More Thing podcast the other day. If you 582 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: didn't hear it, you should be listening to that on 583 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: a regular basis. That doesn't air on the radio show. Right, 584 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: we have plenty of serious stuff about the Middle East. 585 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll carve out a part of the show to 586 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: read your thoughts on that later. But sticking with the 587 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: more lighthearted stuff here, what about the protesters? Bury from 588 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: Thailand rights very concerned? What will to Tunberg do with 589 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: her life now that her two principal causes are in 590 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: the dust? Bind? Let us pray for this lovable little muppet. 591 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: Poor girl. I have nothing but compassion for the whirlwind 592 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: she got tossed into. Yeah, she is obnoxious, but she 593 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: has some incredibly good excuses for being obnoxious. Well, she 594 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: was an upset kid with uh autistic kid. Autistic kid, 595 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: and then you know, the world grabbed hold of her, 596 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: and then that could happen anybody with activist, progressive parents 597 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: who thought, yes, people are paying attention to her because 598 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: she's cute and young. Let's trot her out moving along. 599 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: Republicans suck at messaging, right, Steve from ever Washington, Always true. 600 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: Democrats unanimously chose to raise rates on Obamacare at the 601 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: end of this year. They chose the sunset date they did, 602 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: which explicitly stated in the Inflation Reduction Act of twenty 603 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: twenty two, blah blah blah blah. So when Schumer d 604 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: Durban and crazy maze from a why catterwall about the 605 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: rates going up, Republicans should from Republicans should remind the 606 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: American public. The Democrats unanimously chose it to play out 607 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: this way. The commercials right themselves. Why are Republicans so 608 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: bad at pushing back on like your Sunday talk shows? 609 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: They're terrible at it, always have that. I don't know. 610 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: They feel like they have to explain everything, like using 611 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: the words and approaches of the host, as opposed to saying, no, 612 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: you've got this completely wrong.
