1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: Armstrong and jettating and now he Armstrong and Getty. The 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: percentage of US adults who say they consume alcohol has 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: fall into fifty four percent, the lowest in ninety years. 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: But Gallup says the poll has a margin of era 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: of plus or minus two. Kamala Harris's. 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: That's really interesting. Americans are consuming alcohol at the lowest 9 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: rate in ninety years. 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, why for any things? I think there are 11 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: other substances available now they're legal, Plus that this is 12 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: just the trend line among younger people than a number 13 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: of different theories floated for as to why. Nobody's really sure. 14 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: It's not great for your health, but the world. But 15 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: you compare it with where we are. 16 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: Emotionally, it seems like people are less happy, more angry. 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: The world is in more turmoil than it has been 18 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: in the past. SOO, you are drinking less? 19 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: Well, maybe you know the whole I'm a social drinker 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: thing always seemed odd to me as a guy who 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: prefers to drink alone, muttering angly in the dark. But 22 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: I think for a lot of humanity, people drink more 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: when they're together and having fun. Wow. 24 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: Okay, that's stunning, though, I mean, I mean that's a 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: notable number. 26 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, it's astounding. 27 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: It's not the This is the lowest level of this 28 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one. I mean, that's wort, it's ute, whatever. 29 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: But ninety years Yeah, okay, so big day to day. 30 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you followed Friday. I did closely 31 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: all day long. I was mostly disappointed. I have been 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: talked down somewhat by a variety of pundits from being 33 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: on the on the edge of jumping off a building over. 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: The way on Friday. 35 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: What are we discussing the whole Trump putin Zolensky, Ukraine, Russia. 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: Thank ah, and the red carpet, the warm handshake, et cetera. 37 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: I personally hated the warm handshake in the red carpet 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: and the ride in the car. I'm being told by 39 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: some of the smart people I like that that is 40 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: meaningless pageantry. Trump was trying to shmooz him and get 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: his way. It didn't work, but ultimately doesn't mean anything. 42 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: That's probably true, and then nothing nothing concrete that we're 43 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: aware of came out of Friday, which I'm being told 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: is and is probably true, wasn an unrealistic expectation. Trump 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't have set any expectation for that. It's the opening 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: salvo of what could. 47 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: Be a long negotiation. 48 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: So but now today you got all the European leaders 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: for the most part coming to the White House today. 50 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: That's never happened before, and Zolensky's going to be there. 51 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Let me read from a couple of different publications about 52 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: what's going on. So here's the Associated Press's version. Today's 53 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: meeting will likely be very tough for Zelenski. An official 54 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: close to the ongoing talk said that official spoke on 55 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: a condition of man and nimity to speak openly about 56 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: the thinking within Ukraine and between allies. Zelensky needs to 57 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: prevent a scenario in which he gets blamed for blocking 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: peace talks by rejecting Putin's maximalist demand on the don Bass. 59 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: The official said. 60 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: It is a demand that Zelensky has said many times 61 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: he'll never accept because it's unconstitutional. His constitutional doesn't allow 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: him to accept it even if he wanted to, and 63 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: could create a launching pad for future Russian attacks. If 64 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: confronted with pressure to accept Putin's demands, Zolensky. 65 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: Would very likely have to revert to a. 66 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: Skill he has demonstrated time and time again diplomatic tact. 67 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, leadership is seeking a trilateral meeting with Zelensky, Trump, 68 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: and Putin to discuss sensitive matters, including territorial issues. So 69 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: that is the concern that, Well, let me get to 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: Trump's truth social that he put out overnight in case 71 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: you didn't hear it. President Zelensky and Ukraine can end 72 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to, 73 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: or he can continue to fight. So if Trump hits 74 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: him with that right off the bat, Look, you can 75 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: end this thing now if you want to, and then 76 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: just like leave it there. 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, in the same way that every victim of an 78 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: aggressor can end it if they want to, by surrendering, 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: by letting the aggressor have what they want. Let him 80 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: gobble up your country, let them rape. 81 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: You, let them steal from you, let them whatever it's 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: going to be. 83 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Hey, Ukraine, lie back and enjoy it. I 84 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: find that despicable. That's ridiculous. Why hasn't he said that 85 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: of Putin? Hey, Putin. You could end the fighting right now. 86 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Why don't you? Why'd you invade your neighbor based on 87 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: your fantasies, your covid eer of fantasies of you know, 88 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: restoring this Soviet empire. Great. No, I think. 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: The response from Trump Rubio would be and it's not 90 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: because Russia's got something on him, or he loves authoritarian leaders, 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: or he wants to be like Putin and be a dictator. 92 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: I don't think it's the of that. 93 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: I think it just might be he just sees in 94 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: deals how it's gonna turn out, whether you like it 95 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: or not. Who's got the leverage, who's got the power. 96 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: Putin doesn't have to under any circumstances, whereas Zelensky kind 97 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: of has. 98 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: To take it. 99 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: It's not and as Marco Rubio kept saying on the 100 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Sunday Shows yesterday, you might you might not find this palatable. 101 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: It's not moral, you might not like it, it's unfair, it's 102 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: all of those things. 103 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: But it's just where we are. Yeah. I just I 104 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: wish they would go ahead and say we are not 105 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: willing to help Ukraine enough to turn the tide. I 106 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: guess everybody can tell it. Neither you see that. Well, no, 107 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Well, we'll see what comes out 108 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: of these meetings, because Europe is talking very tough, and 109 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: I hear you snickering, and you should be friends. Europe 110 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: is talking about well, you know what, I've got some 111 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: of the quotes in front of me. But no, they're 112 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: they're making very strong statements about we're with Ukraine, we're 113 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: not capitulating, we're not giving away land. 114 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: Okay, well, I et cetera. I'm informed heavily by my people. 115 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: I like listening to on the London Telegraph podcast constantly 116 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: berating their European allies, including their own country, for not 117 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: stepping up more over the last three years with money, equipment, 118 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: maybe troops whatever. They've had three years to be like 119 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: the Central Force. Again, I go back to that quote 120 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: from what's his name from Poland? Why are we the 121 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: five hundred million counting on the three hundred million to 122 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: protect us against one hundred and fifty million? 123 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, And some of these quotes are tough talk. 124 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: I mean, like your Gale, Georgia Maloney of Italy said, 125 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: after three and a half years in which Russia demanded 126 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: nothing less than the capitulation of Ukraine quote today finally 127 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: glimmers of dialogue were happening, in part because of a 128 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: stalemate in the war, which she attributed in part to 129 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: the United support that the West has given Ukraine. Quote. 130 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: The unity of the West, from my point of view, 131 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: is also the instrument we have to build peace and 132 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: ensure justice, adding that Italy stood by Ukraine since the beginning. 133 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, rhetorically, but yeah, so you know, I had 134 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: this quote, you can. 135 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: Hit Pootin over the head with those words ow ow 136 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: stop well, or they can't. 137 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: So I had this quote last week from somebody commenting 138 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: on the situation of Europe. 139 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: There are those that can but won't. 140 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: There's those who want to but can't. I'd put her 141 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: in that category, and then they're those who can't those 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: that can't and won't. I mean, so Italy just isn't 143 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: a strong enough country. So she's kind of talking big 144 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: with Germany's money or the United States's weapon han. 145 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, seriously, what's Italy gonna do? Sweetheart? 146 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: A little more from a reporting Washington Post. 147 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: This is pretty interesting. 148 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: The US is hoping that a trilateral meeting with Trump, Putin, 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: and Zelensky will take place this week, according to White 150 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: House official. 151 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: So you thought that was a big deal last week. 152 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: How about Zulensky, Trump and Putin together this week somewhere? 153 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: And then finally the Wall Street Journal on a possible 154 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: US role and a post piece deal in Ukraine. 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: Such a role, military. 156 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: Analysts say, wouldn't need to involve US boots on the 157 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: ground in Ukraine, but could include indirect support such as 158 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: having US Air Force fighters stationed right outside Ukraine at 159 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the ready, providing European forces with US made air defense systems, 160 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: flying drones over Ukraine, et cetera, et cetera. So the 161 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: idea that there are some European boots on the ground, 162 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: and we got our planes and drones and everything right 163 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: on the border ready to go at any moment, ready 164 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: to go, but will they be used. 165 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: Vlad Putin is a strategic genius. He will invent provocations, 166 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: fake incursions, and remove any moral clarity from the West 167 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: striking back at him. In the scenario you've described, We'll 168 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 2: have our stuff at the ready, but we won't dare 169 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: use it because the facts on the ground are unclear. 170 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: Not wanting to escalate the Trump administration, blah blah blah, 171 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: I just I got a very bad feeling about this. 172 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: There's only one thing that Putin understands. That's force. But 173 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: if you're not willing to use that force or generate 174 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: that force, or collect it or whatever, then you know, 175 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: let's stop pretending, right, Putin might let's just go ahead 176 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: and surrender. 177 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: This whole time, Putin might have been calculated on the 178 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: fact that, if it came down to it, NATO isn't 179 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: going to go to war with Russia to protect Ukraine 180 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: m hm. 181 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: The end, and he'll have the rest of Ukraine as 182 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 2: much as he wants. You know, in a while he's old, 183 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: he might not get there. But well, you're taking a 184 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: dim view of things. Yeah, I'm just a realist. Oh cold, 185 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 2: wake up and smell the cold coffee. 186 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: Yeah well, well, well, I'd be shocked if we don't 187 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: know the end of the day, either by something Trump 188 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: says or a statement by Europe. I have a feeling 189 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: that European leaders are not going to feel the need 190 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: to uh dance around this at the end of the day. 191 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: What do you think. 192 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: If I would if Putin lays it on Zelensky, Hey, look, 193 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: thanks for wearing a jacket, but you don't have the 194 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: cards either. 195 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: Truman, I mean Trump. 196 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, if Trump says to Zelensky, look, thanks for wearing 197 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: a jacket, but you don't have the cards, you could 198 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: end this today. 199 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? 200 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: Do you think Europe will come out and say no, no, no, no, no, 201 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: wa ain't happen it. 202 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: Well, if they did accept it, that would be a 203 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: complete reversal of what they've been saying. I would be 204 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: surprised if Trump said, you know, we're not going to 205 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: support you anymore. There's no point. It's just more people dying. 206 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: You've got a surrender. I suppose it's possible Europe would 207 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: spin it and try to build up the security guarantees 208 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: as rhetorically as high as they can make them sound. 209 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, I truly don't know. 210 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Well, Marco said Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said 211 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: yesterday that Russia had twenty thousand dead last month, twenty 212 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: thousand in a month. But as he said, they've got 213 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: a lot more meat to feed into the meat grinder 214 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: than Ukraine. Does I mean that's some hard gold reality. 215 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah it is. And actually I appreciate that play as 216 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: sixty one on Michael, If you would Mark go here 217 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: and what it's going to take to stop the fighting. 218 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: If we're being honest and serious here is both sides 219 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: are going to have to give, and both sides should 220 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: expect to get something from this, and that's a very 221 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: difficult thing to do. It's very difficult because Ukraine obviously 222 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: feels you know, harmed, and rightfully so, because they were invaded, 223 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: and the Russian side because they feel like they've got 224 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: momentum in the battlefield and frankly don't care, don't seem 225 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: to care very much about how many Russian soldiers die 226 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: in this endeavor. 227 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: They just turned through it. 228 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: Mh. 229 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: The only thing that's going to appease Russia is giving 230 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: them more than they currently hold on the battlefield. Otherwise, 231 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: why would they accept it unless their manpower and financial 232 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: problems are even worse than we realize. 233 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: That's a tough reality. Putin should say that out loud. 234 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Why would I quit unless I'm going to get more 235 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: than I've gotten now, because I can get it on 236 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: my own. 237 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: Well, right and the requirements that you know, people have 238 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: tried it out so far for Putin to accept the 239 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: deal giving up that critical corridor of defensive cities that 240 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: would render Ukraine defenseless, so they can't accept that deal. 241 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: It's so hard to break out of the headspace of 242 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: what's right and what's wrong sometimes and just settle into 243 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: what is sure. And it's all kinds of wrong that 244 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Putin took chunks of Ukraine and might get to keep 245 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: it and this and that. But who's gonna stop him? 246 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Are you gonna stop him? Well, then shut up if 247 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: you're not. The European leaders are arriving at the White 248 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: House now and it's gonna be quite a day. 249 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: More on the waista here? What's going on with that song? 250 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: That Bruce Bringsteen's song? 251 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: Wait, guys here, little girl at your daddy home? 252 00:13:52,520 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: Do you go and leave you all alone? 253 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: I just got all I say is why am I 254 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: hearing this in a Chipotle? That's not an appropriate things? 255 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: Not? 256 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: Oh my, that's okay. 257 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: I have noticed my kids and I run remember this 258 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: the other day? What was the first restaurant that decided 259 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: we should have music playing all the time? We were 260 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: at like a chain breakfast place. The other day, I 261 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: have a little breakfast there's music. 262 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: Playing the fairly decent volume like most places. Who's the 263 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: first to decide that? And why you know there's been 264 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: the tinkling piano background music, like your classy joints forever, 265 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: or somebody playing in the corner or what have you. 266 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's it's everywhere, though it's retails. The 267 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: stores have pop music cranking all the time because it 268 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: makes people happier, I guess, and less likely to cuss 269 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: out the help. I don't know. 270 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: If you go into a store, like if you're in 271 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: the gap and there's not music playing, would you be 272 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: weirded out? Feel kind of dead and not? 273 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,239 Speaker 2: I don't know. I yeah, I'm in a weird minority 274 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: in the world of golf, having a speaker in the 275 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: cart listening to music the whole way around the golf court. 276 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: Really more guys that I know are thumbs up than 277 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: down by far. 278 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: Wow, So I haven't played golf in twenty years or 279 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: something like that, But that would have been unheard of 280 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: back when I played. 281 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: Dan. 282 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: The idea of music blessing out of anything, well, it's. 283 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: Generally not blasting at you know, unless you're I don't know, 284 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: at a public course, so where nobody cares. But it's 285 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: it a reasonable volume. I don't can it, But I'm 286 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: in the minority. 287 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: Huh people want that all the time. 288 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: Huh is it just needing input? I don't know. I 289 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: generally when I listen to music, I'm listening to music, 290 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: not as background music. But you know, you know, teach 291 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: their own generally. 292 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: When I was playing golf, I love the fact that 293 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: it was just so silent out there. 294 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: I know, the birds chirping and the sounds of I know, 295 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: that's like my favorite part of it. But again, I'm 296 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: in the minority. I had to accept it. But it's 297 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: it's kind of annoying in a couple of different ways 298 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: in that you know, you maybe you're in this cart 299 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: and the other guys are over there another cart, they're 300 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: fifty yards away, and you find what you think is 301 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: their ball there in the rough. You say titleist four, 302 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: and they're like, what titleist four? 303 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: What? 304 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: There's a titleist four right here? Is it yours? Because 305 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: you got to talk over the music, You gotta yell 306 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: over the music, and or they're talking way louder than 307 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: they think they are, because it's sure over the music 308 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: as you're trying to hit a shot. But again, I'm 309 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: in the minority. It's fine, yeah you are, you're on 310 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: the older end. It's not like I'm on the receiving 311 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: end of Putin's attacks on Ukraine, for instance. I try 312 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: to keep my woes in perspective. So I used up 313 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: all my time. 314 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: I was going to talk about how I was in 315 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: the emergency vet with my dog pretty much all night 316 00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Saturday night, like the entire night, oh, from midnight until four. 317 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: Then I came home for forty five minutes and went 318 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: back at six, So it's basically a Pomona. Everything was fine, 319 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: but I got no sleep. 320 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: Anyhow. 321 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: We got more news of the day and a bunch 322 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: of other stuff to catch you up on Stayer. 323 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 324 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: We had to break the news that Zelensky is not 325 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: gonna wear a jacket. He's gonna show up in his 326 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 1: military outfit anyway. Who knows what that's true or not, 327 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: although our executive producer hands and said, I predict Zelensky 328 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: will exit the limo in an Uncle Sam costume, followed 329 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: by four aids, each of whom is dressed as a 330 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: president on Mount Rushmore. 331 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: Wow, that could be effective. Trump does enjoy pageantry. 332 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I say that was some pageantry on Friday, 333 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: Holy Cow, including the B two bombers flying overhead right 334 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: as they shook hands and we're getting ready to walk off. 335 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: That was something B two and F thirty five. So 336 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 2: I think it was most advanced fighter. 337 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: Most badass planes on planet Earth, flying right o our head. 338 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 2: But like like you said earlier, I don't think that 339 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: has any effect on potin like, I know you have planes. 340 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: I know how many planes in which ones? I know? 341 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, You're a powerful military effort. 342 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: God, dang it, Maybe I better rethink everything I've done. 343 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: Trump Trump with his you know, we're a great power. 344 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: They're a great power pretty much number one and number two. 345 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: China's thinking, wait, what right? No, Russia is a midget 346 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: with one giant muscular arm. As I've said before, they're 347 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: nuclear armaments. That's it there. They're an economic midget. They're 348 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: a military midget unless you're an even smaller country next door. 349 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: Is that a thing? 350 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: Little people that have one big strong arm. 351 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: In this case, it is. It's the one and only 352 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: Trump one. Trump just truthed this out. I've settled six 353 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: wars in six months. It's one of them a possible 354 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: nuclear disaster. And yet I have to read and listen 355 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: to the wall Street Journal and many other who truly 356 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 2: don't have a clue tell me everything that I am 357 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: doing wrong on the Russia Ukraine mess. That is Sleepy 358 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's war, not mine. I'm only here to stop it, 359 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: not to prosecute it any further. It would never have 360 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: happened if I was president. 361 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't need 362 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: the advice of people who have been working on all 363 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: these conflicts for years. We're not able to stop them. 364 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: They are stupid people with no common sense, intelligence or understanding, 365 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: and they only make the current Russia Ukraine disaster more 366 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: difficult to fix. Despite all of my lightweight and very 367 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: jealous critics, I'll get it done. 368 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: I always do. President Donald J. Trump, we will see. 369 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: We'll know more at the end of the day. I'm 370 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: not sure those kind. 371 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: Of statements have any positive effect on anything. But Marco 372 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: Rubio said he was on every single talk show yesterday 373 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: as a Secretary of State, and he said a couple 374 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: of different times, Look, we don't even have to do this. 375 00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: It's not our war. 376 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: We're just trying to help end of war because lots 377 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: of people are dying if it doesn't work out. Americans' 378 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: lives won't be changed at all. We'll go back to 379 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: living our lives, whether it ends or whether it doesn't. 380 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: He said that a couple of different times. 381 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: That's the whole it's happening over there. It doesn't matter 382 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 2: to us. Argument that's been made several times throughout history, 383 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: World War One and World War Two in particular. Yeah, well, 384 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 2: well in the Cold War to a large extent. I mean, 385 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 2: why do we care if the Communists take all over 386 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: all of East Asia? Because we do according to you know, 387 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: people who hold that point of view Domino theory. Yeah, 388 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: I don't. I look, that's fine, he can make that argument, 389 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 2: but it's not like it's an original and groundbreaking argument. 390 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: This is a European problem. If har Hitler has a 391 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 2: claim to the Sudatean land, that's their problem, you know, 392 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 2: and look it being you know, that situation being that 393 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: way then is not proof that this situation is analogous. 394 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it is, But Marco Rubio can't claim 395 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: that it's automatically obviously not either. So this is some 396 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: breaking ish news too. 397 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: Sources tell Newsmax that Putin has dropped his objection to 398 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: teaching the Ukrainian language in Ukraine. Well, how kind of 399 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: you to allow a country to teach their children their language. 400 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: That's very nice, Vita, because he was demanding that only 401 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: Russian part of his deal. 402 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: Now, this has got to. 403 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: Be in the realm of you ask for some things 404 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: you're not going to get, just you can give on 405 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: those and hang on to the things you care about. 406 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: But one of his asks was, you know, I get 407 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: all the don Bass. 408 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: You're not NATO and everybody needs to speak Russian in Ukraine. 409 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: Well, we don't teach English. Well, we have English classes, 410 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 2: but we teach you how to be transgender during them 411 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: in this country. So we've already given that up. Uh. 412 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: He says, differences to be worked out on how to 413 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: define and implement a ceasefire. Okay, Russian security guarantees for Ukraine, 414 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: allowing NATO to come to Ukraine's defense if Russia violates it. Wow, 415 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: did they actually agree to that? Did Putin drop that 416 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: or say that's okay? Security guarantees for Well, I guess 417 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: we'll hear about that today. 418 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: Probably Satan is in the details, friends, and I would 419 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: just assume until proven otherwise that what Putin is calculating 420 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: is all right, what do I have to agree to 421 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: to get the US to announce they're through with this 422 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: m and then we let the desk settle for a 423 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: couple of months. I re constitute my forces, et cetera. 424 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: I invent a couple of precur or you know, pretexts 425 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 2: for attacks, and then I continue on with my mission 426 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: in the same way I did. And Trump is not 427 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: going to rally America at a war. It won't happen. 428 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: By the way I throw this out. I've mentioned it 429 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: before in the Bob Woodward book about the last year 430 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. Bob Woodward says, Joe Biden gets 431 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: off the phone with Putin, realizes the invasion is going 432 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: to happen. There's nothing he can do to stop it, 433 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: and he's cussing Barack Obama. This is Barack's fault. Brock 434 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: f this all up by not responding at all when 435 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: Russia went into Crimea. So even Joe Biden thinks, that's 436 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: what's got to all this going is there is no 437 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: response to going into. 438 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: Crimea, right, right, you know, Trump way overplays the whole 439 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: listen ever would have happened when I was president hand 440 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, shut up You've said it a million times. 441 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: On the other hand, he has a point in that 442 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: we the United States signal to Putin over and over again. 443 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: You can pretty much do what you want. And now 444 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: that Putin has pretty much done what he wanted. Uh, 445 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: Trump's supposed to end it or fight Putin bravely or something. 446 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: And I get that he resents or thinks it's lacking 447 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: in context when, for instance, the Wall Street Journal criticizes 448 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: the way he's going about it. Yeah, and I don't 449 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: like the way he's going about it either. But Trump 450 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: has a point, and I hate that. So Jimmy Carter 451 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: did this and Barack Obama does this where there were 452 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: no wars that started under my administration. I'm very proud 453 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 2: of that. 454 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you let people get away with stuff that 455 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: then the next Republican president had to deal with. 456 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weak, sauce man. Different thing. 457 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I just came across on the Twitter from Buyern New 458 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: York or the Washington Examiner. This topic that we were 459 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: really into last week probably will be again tomorrow. After 460 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: the initial anti Trump reflects about DC crime, more and 461 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: more voices are conceding that he was right about the 462 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: crime in Washington. 463 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: D c. 464 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reporting on people unhappy that the anti 465 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: crime effort has not yet reached their neighborhoods. So yeah, 466 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: there was a big low back for like forty eight 467 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: hours of crime is down in DC. But then more 468 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: and more people Maureen Dowd in the New York Times 469 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: over the weekend saying, look, I live in Washington, d C. 470 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: It's very, very scary, right well, and it's hilarious that 471 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: the argument is morphed from he can't do this. It's 472 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: totalitarianism when the federal government has the responsibility of administering Washington, 473 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: d C. And d C is like granted some autonomy 474 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 2: when Congress thinks it's appropriate. So the fallback is the 475 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 2: Feds are in charge of d C. That's not you know, 476 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 2: d C governing itself is not a right, it's a privilege. 477 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 2: So that hole is the narrative blew up. The whole 478 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: crime is actually down, blew up because the police have 479 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 2: been openly faking the statistics for a very long time, 480 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: and anybody of conscience who lives there says, yeah, it's 481 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: dangerous and scary as hell. But now the narrative is 482 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 2: switched to well, they're they're not policing all neighborhoods and 483 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: some minority neighborhoods there they don't have the National Guard. 484 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: They're enough. Okay, you people, you're ridiculous. All right, we'll 485 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: put him in what neighborhood do you want? What scary, 486 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 2: predominantly black, crime ridden neighborhood where the National Guard isn't yet? 487 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: You name it New York Times, and we'll send plenty 488 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 2: of guardsmen there too. 489 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: So it's uh Saturday afternoon and Henry tells me that 490 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: pugsito are pug and his face is all swollen. So 491 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: I come overlook. So I come over to look at it, 492 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: and I said, looks like it always. 493 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: Looks to me. 494 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: And he said, no, it's all swollen up. 495 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: See you around here. 496 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: And I said, I thought that's what his face always 497 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: looked like. 498 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: I didn't really see it. 499 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: But then later Henry says, look at his neck now, 500 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: and his neck was giant, So that was noticeable, like 501 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: he had this big. 502 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: Bull giant his neck. Oh boy. 503 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: And so I call the animal hospital that we usually use, 504 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: which was just about to close on Saturday, and said, 505 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: this is what happened. 506 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: They said, he's been outside. 507 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course he has a sounds like a beasting 508 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: or something like that, an allergic reaction to a beasting 509 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: probably or along those lines. And so give him a 510 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: ben and drill and everything like that. If he throws 511 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: up or collapses, though, you're gonna need to get him 512 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: to the uh, you know, emergency vat right away. 513 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: Me too, is just if I throw up or collapse, 514 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: get me to a doctor. 515 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: Collapses is difficult, difficult with a dog because they spend 516 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have if your dog does this, 517 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: but they spend a lot of time just lying about. 518 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: So what does a collapse look. 519 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: Like when you spend ninety percent of your life lying there? 520 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: But anyway, at one point he does he does start 521 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: throwing up. And this is late night, so he starts 522 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: throwing up. So I thought, okay, so he's got still 523 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: got this giant neck and he's thrown up. They told 524 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: me specifically, if this happens, I gotta go. So I 525 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: call up the emergency VET. I tell him what's going on. 526 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: They said, yeah, you better come in, and so I 527 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: get there at like twelve thirty in the morning on 528 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: a Saturday night. 529 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: Tell him myself. 530 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: Instead of being bothered by this, she should be thankful 531 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: that this is happening on a Saturday night and not 532 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: a Tuesday night or some other night where you'd be 533 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: having to go to work. 534 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. I was trying to make lemon nade 535 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: out of lemons. 536 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: But so we go and we get there, and like 537 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: every appointment for everything you ever do in your life, 538 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: it takes like ninety times longer than you think it's 539 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: going to do. As I'm driving to the vet, I 540 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: thought the zoo is like fifteen miles away. I could 541 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: be the zoo in no time handle this old situation. 542 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: But a lot of you didn't like that from last week. 543 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: So I, oh, went. 544 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: Ahead, lions right, No Katie, no Jack, no Vet, this direction, zoo, 545 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: this direction. 546 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I came to a fork in the road. 547 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: But but I went ahead and went to the vet, 548 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: and I passed on all all the tests. 549 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: I passed on all the tests. 550 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: We all know how that works if you've ever taken 551 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, say, we could do this test, we could 552 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: do an ultrasound, and then we could you know, do 553 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: nine different kinds of blood tests and everything like that. 554 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, you walk out with a five 555 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars bill. I just said, note all the tests 556 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: after they declared that probably okay. 557 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: I mean, looking at him, everything's gonna. 558 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: Be okay, and okay, So I'm just I. 559 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: Passed on all the tests with some concern. But I 560 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: ended up being there all night long. Brought him home 561 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: at six thirty in the morning. 562 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: Just waiting for him to be seen, or what combination 563 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: of waiting to be seen and waiting to see if 564 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: he's going to stabilize, and you know, just all those 565 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of things. But I got out of there with 566 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: a decent sized bill. I happened to live next to 567 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: the best emergency vet clinic in the world. Oprah brings 568 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: her pets here, Celebrities fly in with their animals. Kardashians 569 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: bring their pets here to this particular vet clinic, and 570 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: they know they're that and they charge accordingly. So it's 571 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: very easy to get very expensive, very quickly. 572 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: But everything. So, what was wrong with him? I think 573 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: it was just a beasting or whatever. I think that's 574 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: that's funny. My sister had a similar situation over the weekend. 575 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: She thought it was a beasting, but it was an 576 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: abscessed tooth really in her hound. I said no to 577 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: the test. I know a lot of you disagree. You 578 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: say yes to all the tests. 579 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: And you know that's up to you, and they're like 580 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: my tests, they're like my kids. 581 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: You say, that's fine, you do you all do me. 582 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna finish strong next to here. 583 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: So we are not a breaking news show. 584 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: Obviously people listen to it in podcast form or different 585 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: time zones or whatever. But Zelensky's about to arrive at 586 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: the White House, and I do want to see if 587 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: he's wearing a suit or not. And I want to 588 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: see if Trump says anything to him if he's not 589 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: wearing a suit, because I can't imagine Trump not making 590 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: a comment. If Zelensky shows up again in his military outfit, 591 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: I find that horror. Fine, of course it's horrifying. Of course, 592 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: it's horrifying that this matter is it matters at all. 593 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: What would you do, though, your Zelensky? Would you show 594 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: up in a suit? 595 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, absolutely see why you would. But if look, 596 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: he considers himself the commander in chief and he wears 597 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: a military garb all the time, I suppose i'd show 598 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: up in that. 599 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, because if you show up in the suit, 600 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: it is a one hundred percent. I do what you 601 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: want me to do on your terms. Yeah, that's the 602 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: worst way to present it. The other way to present 603 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: it would be, this is the most powerful military on 604 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: earth that I'm asking for help. I'm gonna be as 605 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: polite as I possibly can be and respectful to try 606 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: to get what I want. 607 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not wrong. It's a tough one. You want 608 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: to hear. Here's here, what the hell moment of this story? 609 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: The first Lady, Melania Trump, who is a very attractive 610 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: and b knows at least four more languages than I do, 611 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: has written a letter to Vladimir Putin asking him to 612 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 2: stop the killing for the sake of the children. Yeah, 613 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: hand delivered on Friday. I guess, really, why don't you 614 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: just write a letter to dogs and ask him to 615 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: stop barking? I mean, I mean, that's sweet in a way. 616 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: It's lovely in a way, and a complete idiotic waste 617 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 2: of time in another way. Why I don't understand. I 618 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 2: didn't react to it was almost counterproductive to me to 619 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: go to an evil murderer and beg them to stop murdering. 620 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: That's worse than nothing. 621 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: I didn't react to that story with a heartfell of hate, 622 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: as you apparently have. But you're starting to convince me 623 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: that perhaps because I'm trying to pick somebody else. I 624 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: hate to use Hitler. Everybody uses Hitler all the time as. 625 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 2: An exig won't use Hitler. But what I'm going to 626 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: write a letter to hit earlier. 627 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey, this whole murdering jewice thing, I think it's terrible. 628 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 2: You should stop. Would make me look silly, right, Yeah, exactly, Well, 629 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: and imploring him as a fellow parent to protect the 630 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 2: innocence of children, I'm sure. And again it's a lovely 631 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: impulse and she seems like a lovely gal. 632 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: I got a new angle on that. But maybe I'll 633 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: make that my final thought. 634 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, we have kidnapped fifty thousand children, We've killed 635 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: thousands of others. Are you sure you're writing this letter 636 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: to me? He's thinking, is this addressed to the wrong guy? 637 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 4: It is now my incredible privilege to present final thoughts 638 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 4: with He's moron arms wrong and Getty. 639 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. 640 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew 641 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 2: to wrap up the show for the day. There is 642 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: our technical director, Michael Angelo Michael, what's your final thought 643 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: about this? Zelenski doesn't show up with a suit. He 644 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: shows up with something that's actually stained, like with ketchup 645 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: and mustard and h you know, he's just eaten. All right, 646 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: all right, all right, do better next time? Okay, Wow, 647 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: terrible Wow. I give that a D minus. Katie Green, 648 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: what's your father? So times? Get ready? One grade? I 649 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: just want to let Jack know I'm very proud of 650 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: him for not taking pug Seed up to the zoo. 651 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: Just couldn't cross my mind. I know it did. One 652 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 2: of the problem solves. You do that though, I mean 653 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: it's effective. Jack. 654 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: Final thought for us, I think the most charitable view 655 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: is Malania did this just because it got out in 656 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: the news the way it got out and draws attention 657 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: to the fact that Rushes snatched a lot of children, which. 658 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 2: Is not as big a story as it probably should be. 659 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 2: You know what that is clever Because I'm reading some 660 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 2: of the verbiage of it.
