WEBVTT - Wake Up & Smell The Cold Coffee

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and jettating and now he Armstrong and Getty. The

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>percentage of US adults who say they consume alcohol has

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>fall into fifty four percent, the lowest in ninety years.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But Gallup says the poll has a margin of era

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of plus or minus two. Kamala Harris's.

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>That's really interesting. Americans are consuming alcohol at the lowest

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>rate in ninety years.

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wow, why for any things? I think there are

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>other substances available now they're legal, Plus that this is

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just the trend line among younger people than a number

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 2>of different theories floated for as to why. Nobody's really sure.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not great for your health, but the world. But

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you compare it with where we are.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Emotionally, it seems like people are less happy, more angry.

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>The world is in more turmoil than it has been

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in the past. SOO, you are drinking less?

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe you know the whole I'm a social drinker

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>thing always seemed odd to me as a guy who

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 2>prefers to drink alone, muttering angly in the dark. But

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I think for a lot of humanity, people drink more

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>when they're together and having fun. Wow.

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's stunning, though, I mean, I mean that's a

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>notable number.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah, it's astounding.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not the This is the lowest level of this

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>since twenty twenty one. I mean, that's wort, it's ute, whatever.

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 2>But ninety years Yeah, okay, so big day to day.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you followed Friday. I did closely

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>all day long. I was mostly disappointed. I have been

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>talked down somewhat by a variety of pundits from being

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on the on the edge of jumping off a building over.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>The way on Friday.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>What are we discussing the whole Trump putin Zolensky, Ukraine, Russia.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Thank ah, and the red carpet, the warm handshake, et cetera.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I personally hated the warm handshake in the red carpet

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and the ride in the car. I'm being told by

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 1>some of the smart people I like that that is

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>meaningless pageantry. Trump was trying to shmooz him and get

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>his way. It didn't work, but ultimately doesn't mean anything.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>That's probably true, and then nothing nothing concrete that we're

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>aware of came out of Friday, which I'm being told

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>is and is probably true, wasn an unrealistic expectation. Trump

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have set any expectation for that. It's the opening

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>salvo of what could.

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Be a long negotiation.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>So but now today you got all the European leaders

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>for the most part coming to the White House today.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>That's never happened before, and Zolensky's going to be there.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me read from a couple of different publications about

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. So here's the Associated Press's version. Today's

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>meeting will likely be very tough for Zelenski. An official

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>close to the ongoing talk said that official spoke on

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a condition of man and nimity to speak openly about

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the thinking within Ukraine and between allies. Zelensky needs to

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>prevent a scenario in which he gets blamed for blocking

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>peace talks by rejecting Putin's maximalist demand on the don Bass.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>The official said.

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It is a demand that Zelensky has said many times

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll never accept because it's unconstitutional. His constitutional doesn't allow

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>him to accept it even if he wanted to, and

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>could create a launching pad for future Russian attacks. If

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>confronted with pressure to accept Putin's demands, Zolensky.

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Would very likely have to revert to a.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Skill he has demonstrated time and time again diplomatic tact.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, leadership is seeking a trilateral meeting with Zelensky, Trump,

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and Putin to discuss sensitive matters, including territorial issues. So

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that is the concern that, Well, let me get to

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump's truth social that he put out overnight in case

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you didn't hear it. President Zelensky and Ukraine can end

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to,

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>or he can continue to fight. So if Trump hits

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>him with that right off the bat, Look, you can

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>end this thing now if you want to, and then

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>just like leave it there.

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in the same way that every victim of an

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 2>aggressor can end it if they want to, by surrendering,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>by letting the aggressor have what they want. Let him

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>gobble up your country, let them rape.

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>You, let them steal from you, let them whatever it's

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be.

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, Hey, Ukraine, lie back and enjoy it. I

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 2>find that despicable. That's ridiculous. Why hasn't he said that

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 2>of Putin? Hey, Putin. You could end the fighting right now.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you? Why'd you invade your neighbor based on

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 2>your fantasies, your covid eer of fantasies of you know,

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>restoring this Soviet empire. Great. No, I think.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The response from Trump Rubio would be and it's not

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>because Russia's got something on him, or he loves authoritarian leaders,

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>or he wants to be like Putin and be a dictator.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's the of that.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it just might be he just sees in

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>deals how it's gonna turn out, whether you like it

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>or not. Who's got the leverage, who's got the power.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Putin doesn't have to under any circumstances, whereas Zelensky kind

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of has.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>To take it.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not and as Marco Rubio kept saying on the

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Shows yesterday, you might you might not find this palatable.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not moral, you might not like it, it's unfair, it's

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>all of those things.

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 2>But it's just where we are. Yeah. I just I

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>wish they would go ahead and say we are not

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>willing to help Ukraine enough to turn the tide. I

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 2>guess everybody can tell it. Neither you see that. Well, no,

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. Well, we'll see what comes out

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 2>of these meetings, because Europe is talking very tough, and

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I hear you snickering, and you should be friends. Europe

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 2>is talking about well, you know what, I've got some

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 2>of the quotes in front of me. But no, they're

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>they're making very strong statements about we're with Ukraine, we're

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 2>not capitulating, we're not giving away land.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, I et cetera. I'm informed heavily by my people.

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I like listening to on the London Telegraph podcast constantly

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>berating their European allies, including their own country, for not

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>stepping up more over the last three years with money, equipment,

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe troops whatever. They've had three years to be like

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the Central Force. Again, I go back to that quote

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>from what's his name from Poland? Why are we the

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>five hundred million counting on the three hundred million to

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>protect us against one hundred and fifty million?

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah, And some of these quotes are tough talk.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like your Gale, Georgia Maloney of Italy said,

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>after three and a half years in which Russia demanded

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 2>nothing less than the capitulation of Ukraine quote today finally

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>glimmers of dialogue were happening, in part because of a

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>stalemate in the war, which she attributed in part to

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the United support that the West has given Ukraine. Quote.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>The unity of the West, from my point of view,

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>is also the instrument we have to build peace and

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>ensure justice, adding that Italy stood by Ukraine since the beginning.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, rhetorically, but yeah, so you know, I had

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>this quote, you can.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Hit Pootin over the head with those words ow ow

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>stop well, or they can't.

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>So I had this quote last week from somebody commenting

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>on the situation of Europe.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>There are those that can but won't.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>There's those who want to but can't. I'd put her

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>in that category, and then they're those who can't those

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that can't and won't. I mean, so Italy just isn't

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a strong enough country. So she's kind of talking big

0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>with Germany's money or the United States's weapon han.

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, seriously, what's Italy gonna do? Sweetheart?

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>A little more from a reporting Washington Post.

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>This is pretty interesting.

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>The US is hoping that a trilateral meeting with Trump, Putin,

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and Zelensky will take place this week, according to White

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>House official.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>So you thought that was a big deal last week.

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>How about Zulensky, Trump and Putin together this week somewhere?

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And then finally the Wall Street Journal on a possible

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>US role and a post piece deal in Ukraine.

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Such a role, military.

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Analysts say, wouldn't need to involve US boots on the

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>ground in Ukraine, but could include indirect support such as

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>having US Air Force fighters stationed right outside Ukraine at

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the ready, providing European forces with US made air defense systems,

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>flying drones over Ukraine, et cetera, et cetera. So the

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>idea that there are some European boots on the ground,

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and we got our planes and drones and everything right

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on the border ready to go at any moment, ready

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to go, but will they be used.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Vlad Putin is a strategic genius. He will invent provocations,

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 2>fake incursions, and remove any moral clarity from the West

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 2>striking back at him. In the scenario you've described, We'll

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 2>have our stuff at the ready, but we won't dare

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 2>use it because the facts on the ground are unclear.

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Not wanting to escalate the Trump administration, blah blah blah,

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I just I got a very bad feeling about this.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 2>There's only one thing that Putin understands. That's force. But

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're not willing to use that force or generate

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that force, or collect it or whatever, then you know,

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>let's stop pretending, right, Putin might let's just go ahead

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and surrender.

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>This whole time, Putin might have been calculated on the

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>fact that, if it came down to it, NATO isn't

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>going to go to war with Russia to protect Ukraine

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>m hm.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>The end, and he'll have the rest of Ukraine as

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 2>much as he wants. You know, in a while he's old,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>he might not get there. But well, you're taking a

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>dim view of things. Yeah, I'm just a realist. Oh cold,

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>wake up and smell the cold coffee.

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah well, well, well, I'd be shocked if we don't

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>know the end of the day, either by something Trump

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>says or a statement by Europe. I have a feeling

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that European leaders are not going to feel the need

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 1>to uh dance around this at the end of the day.

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you think.

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>If I would if Putin lays it on Zelensky, Hey, look,

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks for wearing a jacket, but you don't have the

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>cards either.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Truman, I mean Trump.

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if Trump says to Zelensky, look, thanks for wearing

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a jacket, but you don't have the cards, you could

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>end this today.

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 2>What is wrong with you?

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Europe will come out and say no, no, no, no, no,

0:10:59.000 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>wa ain't happen it.

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, if they did accept it, that would be a

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>complete reversal of what they've been saying. I would be

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>surprised if Trump said, you know, we're not going to

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>support you anymore. There's no point. It's just more people dying.

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>You've got a surrender. I suppose it's possible Europe would

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 2>spin it and try to build up the security guarantees

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>as rhetorically as high as they can make them sound.

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I truly don't know.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, Marco said Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that Russia had twenty thousand dead last month, twenty

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand in a month. But as he said, they've got

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more meat to feed into the meat grinder

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 1>than Ukraine. Does I mean that's some hard gold reality.

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it is. And actually I appreciate that play as

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>sixty one on Michael, If you would Mark go here

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and what it's going to take to stop the fighting.

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 3>If we're being honest and serious here is both sides

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 3>are going to have to give, and both sides should

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 3>expect to get something from this, and that's a very

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 3>difficult thing to do. It's very difficult because Ukraine obviously

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 3>feels you know, harmed, and rightfully so, because they were invaded,

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 3>and the Russian side because they feel like they've got

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 3>momentum in the battlefield and frankly don't care, don't seem

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 3>to care very much about how many Russian soldiers die

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 3>in this endeavor.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>They just turned through it.

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Mh.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that's going to appease Russia is giving

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>them more than they currently hold on the battlefield. Otherwise,

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 2>why would they accept it unless their manpower and financial

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 2>problems are even worse than we realize.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough reality. Putin should say that out loud.

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Why would I quit unless I'm going to get more

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>than I've gotten now, because I can get it on

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>my own.

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, right and the requirements that you know, people have

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 2>tried it out so far for Putin to accept the

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>deal giving up that critical corridor of defensive cities that

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>would render Ukraine defenseless, so they can't accept that deal.

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard to break out of the headspace of

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 1>what's right and what's wrong sometimes and just settle into

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>what is sure. And it's all kinds of wrong that

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Putin took chunks of Ukraine and might get to keep

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 1>it and this and that. But who's gonna stop him?

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna stop him? Well, then shut up if

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not. The European leaders are arriving at the White

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>House now and it's gonna be quite a day.

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>More on the waista here? What's going on with that song?

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>That Bruce Bringsteen's song?

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Wait, guys here, little girl at your daddy home?

0:13:52.520 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Do you go and leave you all alone?

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I just got all I say is why am I

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>hearing this in a Chipotle? That's not an appropriate things?

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Not?

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh my, that's okay.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I have noticed my kids and I run remember this

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the other day? What was the first restaurant that decided

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we should have music playing all the time? We were

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>at like a chain breakfast place. The other day, I

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>have a little breakfast there's music.

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Playing the fairly decent volume like most places. Who's the

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>first to decide that? And why you know there's been

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the tinkling piano background music, like your classy joints forever,

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 2>or somebody playing in the corner or what have you.

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's it's everywhere, though it's retails. The

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>stores have pop music cranking all the time because it

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>makes people happier, I guess, and less likely to cuss

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>out the help. I don't know.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>If you go into a store, like if you're in

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the gap and there's not music playing, would you be

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>weirded out? Feel kind of dead and not?

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I yeah, I'm in a weird minority

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in the world of golf, having a speaker in the

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>cart listening to music the whole way around the golf court.

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Really more guys that I know are thumbs up than

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>down by far.

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow, So I haven't played golf in twenty years or

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>something like that, But that would have been unheard of

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>back when I played.

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Dan.

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>The idea of music blessing out of anything, well, it's.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Generally not blasting at you know, unless you're I don't know,

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>at a public course, so where nobody cares. But it's

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 2>it a reasonable volume. I don't can it, But I'm

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>in the minority.

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Huh people want that all the time.

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Huh is it just needing input? I don't know. I

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>generally when I listen to music, I'm listening to music,

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>not as background music. But you know, you know, teach

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>their own generally.

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>When I was playing golf, I love the fact that

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it was just so silent out there.

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I know, the birds chirping and the sounds of I know,

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that's like my favorite part of it. But again, I'm

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>in the minority. I had to accept it. But it's

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of annoying in a couple of different ways

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>in that you know, you maybe you're in this cart

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and the other guys are over there another cart, they're

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 2>fifty yards away, and you find what you think is

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>their ball there in the rough. You say titleist four,

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, what titleist four?

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>There's a titleist four right here? Is it yours? Because

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you got to talk over the music, You gotta yell

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>over the music, and or they're talking way louder than

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>they think they are, because it's sure over the music

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>as you're trying to hit a shot. But again, I'm

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>in the minority. It's fine, yeah you are, you're on

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 2>the older end. It's not like I'm on the receiving

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 2>end of Putin's attacks on Ukraine, for instance. I try

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to keep my woes in perspective. So I used up

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 2>all my time.

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I was going to talk about how I was in

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the emergency vet with my dog pretty much all night

0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night, like the entire night, oh, from midnight until four.

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Then I came home for forty five minutes and went

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 1>back at six, So it's basically a Pomona. Everything was fine,

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 1>but I got no sleep.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Anyhow.

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 1>We got more news of the day and a bunch

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>of other stuff to catch you up on Stayer.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>We had to break the news that Zelensky is not

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna wear a jacket. He's gonna show up in his

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:28.479
<v Speaker 1>military outfit anyway. Who knows what that's true or not,

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>although our executive producer hands and said, I predict Zelensky

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>will exit the limo in an Uncle Sam costume, followed

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>by four aids, each of whom is dressed as a

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.120
<v Speaker 1>president on Mount Rushmore.

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that could be effective. Trump does enjoy pageantry.

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, well, I say that was some pageantry on Friday,

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Holy Cow, including the B two bombers flying overhead right

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>as they shook hands and we're getting ready to walk off.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>That was something B two and F thirty five. So

0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it was most advanced fighter.

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Most badass planes on planet Earth, flying right o our head.

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.719
<v Speaker 2>But like like you said earlier, I don't think that

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 2>has any effect on potin like, I know you have planes.

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I know how many planes in which ones? I know?

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's right, You're a powerful military effort.

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 2>God, dang it, Maybe I better rethink everything I've done.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump Trump with his you know, we're a great power.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 2>They're a great power pretty much number one and number two.

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>China's thinking, wait, what right? No, Russia is a midget

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 2>with one giant muscular arm. As I've said before, they're

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>nuclear armaments. That's it there. They're an economic midget. They're

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 2>a military midget unless you're an even smaller country next door.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that a thing?

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Little people that have one big strong arm.

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>In this case, it is. It's the one and only

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Trump one. Trump just truthed this out. I've settled six

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 2>wars in six months. It's one of them a possible

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>nuclear disaster. And yet I have to read and listen

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to the wall Street Journal and many other who truly

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>don't have a clue tell me everything that I am

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>doing wrong on the Russia Ukraine mess. That is Sleepy

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden's war, not mine. I'm only here to stop it,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>not to prosecute it any further. It would never have

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 2>happened if I was president.

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't need

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the advice of people who have been working on all

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>these conflicts for years. We're not able to stop them.

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>They are stupid people with no common sense, intelligence or understanding,

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and they only make the current Russia Ukraine disaster more

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>difficult to fix. Despite all of my lightweight and very

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>jealous critics, I'll get it done.

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I always do. President Donald J. Trump, we will see.

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll know more at the end of the day. I'm

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 2>not sure those kind.

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Of statements have any positive effect on anything. But Marco

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Rubio said he was on every single talk show yesterday

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>as a Secretary of State, and he said a couple

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of different times, Look, we don't even have to do this.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not our war.

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>We're just trying to help end of war because lots

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.880
<v Speaker 1>of people are dying if it doesn't work out. Americans'

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>lives won't be changed at all. We'll go back to

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>living our lives, whether it ends or whether it doesn't.

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>He said that a couple of different times.

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole it's happening over there. It doesn't matter

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 2>to us. Argument that's been made several times throughout history,

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.439
<v Speaker 2>World War One and World War Two in particular. Yeah, well,

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.360
<v Speaker 2>well in the Cold War to a large extent. I mean,

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 2>why do we care if the Communists take all over

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.359
<v Speaker 2>all of East Asia? Because we do according to you know,

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 2>people who hold that point of view Domino theory. Yeah,

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I look, that's fine, he can make that argument,

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.479
<v Speaker 2>but it's not like it's an original and groundbreaking argument.

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 2>This is a European problem. If har Hitler has a

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:55.199
<v Speaker 2>claim to the Sudatean land, that's their problem, you know,

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.679
<v Speaker 2>and look it being you know, that situation being that

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>way then is not proof that this situation is analogous.

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it is, But Marco Rubio can't claim

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that it's automatically obviously not either. So this is some

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>breaking ish news too.

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Sources tell Newsmax that Putin has dropped his objection to

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 1>teaching the Ukrainian language in Ukraine. Well, how kind of

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you to allow a country to teach their children their language.

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That's very nice, Vita, because he was demanding that only

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Russian part of his deal.

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Now, this has got to.

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Be in the realm of you ask for some things

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to get, just you can give on

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 1>those and hang on to the things you care about.

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>But one of his asks was, you know, I get

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>all the don Bass.

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not NATO and everybody needs to speak Russian in Ukraine.

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, we don't teach English. Well, we have English classes,

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.360
<v Speaker 2>but we teach you how to be transgender during them

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 2>in this country. So we've already given that up. Uh.

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 1>He says, differences to be worked out on how to

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>define and implement a ceasefire. Okay, Russian security guarantees for Ukraine,

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>allowing NATO to come to Ukraine's defense if Russia violates it. Wow,

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>did they actually agree to that? Did Putin drop that

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>or say that's okay? Security guarantees for Well, I guess

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear about that today.

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably Satan is in the details, friends, and I would

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 2>just assume until proven otherwise that what Putin is calculating

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>is all right, what do I have to agree to

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>to get the US to announce they're through with this

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 2>m and then we let the desk settle for a

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of months. I re constitute my forces, et cetera.

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I invent a couple of precur or you know, pretexts

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 2>for attacks, and then I continue on with my mission

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 2>in the same way I did. And Trump is not

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 2>going to rally America at a war. It won't happen.

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>By the way I throw this out. I've mentioned it

0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>before in the Bob Woodward book about the last year

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Biden administration. Bob Woodward says, Joe Biden gets

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>off the phone with Putin, realizes the invasion is going

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to happen. There's nothing he can do to stop it,

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's cussing Barack Obama. This is Barack's fault. Brock

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.919
<v Speaker 1>f this all up by not responding at all when

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Russia went into Crimea. So even Joe Biden thinks, that's

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 1>what's got to all this going is there is no

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>response to going into.

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Crimea, right, right, you know, Trump way overplays the whole

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 2>listen ever would have happened when I was president hand

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, shut up You've said it a million times.

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, he has a point in that

0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 2>we the United States signal to Putin over and over again.

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>You can pretty much do what you want. And now

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that Putin has pretty much done what he wanted. Uh,

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Trump's supposed to end it or fight Putin bravely or something.

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 2>And I get that he resents or thinks it's lacking

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 2>in context when, for instance, the Wall Street Journal criticizes

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the way he's going about it. Yeah, and I don't

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 2>like the way he's going about it either. But Trump

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 2>has a point, and I hate that. So Jimmy Carter

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:15.640
<v Speaker 2>did this and Barack Obama does this where there were

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 2>no wars that started under my administration. I'm very proud

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of that.

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you let people get away with stuff that

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 1>then the next Republican president had to deal with.

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's weak, sauce man. Different thing.

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I just came across on the Twitter from Buyern New

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>York or the Washington Examiner. This topic that we were

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>really into last week probably will be again tomorrow. After

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the initial anti Trump reflects about DC crime, more and

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>more voices are conceding that he was right about the

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>crime in Washington.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 2>D c.

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal reporting on people unhappy that the anti

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>crime effort has not yet reached their neighborhoods. So yeah,

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>there was a big low back for like forty eight

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>hours of crime is down in DC. But then more

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and more people Maureen Dowd in the New York Times

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend saying, look, I live in Washington, d C.

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 2>It's very, very scary, right well, and it's hilarious that

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the argument is morphed from he can't do this. It's

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 2>totalitarianism when the federal government has the responsibility of administering Washington,

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>d C. And d C is like granted some autonomy

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 2>when Congress thinks it's appropriate. So the fallback is the

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Feds are in charge of d C. That's not you know,

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>d C governing itself is not a right, it's a privilege.

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 2>So that hole is the narrative blew up. The whole

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 2>crime is actually down, blew up because the police have

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>been openly faking the statistics for a very long time,

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and anybody of conscience who lives there says, yeah, it's

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 2>dangerous and scary as hell. But now the narrative is

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 2>switched to well, they're they're not policing all neighborhoods and

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 2>some minority neighborhoods there they don't have the National Guard.

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 2>They're enough. Okay, you people, you're ridiculous. All right, we'll

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>put him in what neighborhood do you want? What scary,

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>predominantly black, crime ridden neighborhood where the National Guard isn't yet?

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You name it New York Times, and we'll send plenty

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 2>of guardsmen there too.

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's uh Saturday afternoon and Henry tells me that

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 1>pugsito are pug and his face is all swollen. So

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I come overlook. So I come over to look at it,

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and I said, looks like it always.

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Looks to me.

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:53.199
<v Speaker 1>And he said, no, it's all swollen up.

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>See you around here.

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I thought that's what his face always

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>looked like.

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really see it.

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But then later Henry says, look at his neck now,

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and his neck was giant, So that was noticeable, like

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 1>he had this big.

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Bull giant his neck. Oh boy.

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And so I call the animal hospital that we usually use,

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>which was just about to close on Saturday, and said,

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>this is what happened.

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 2>They said, he's been outside.

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course he has a sounds like a beasting

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, an allergic reaction to a beasting

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>probably or along those lines. And so give him a

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 1>ben and drill and everything like that. If he throws

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 1>up or collapses, though, you're gonna need to get him

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to the uh, you know, emergency vat right away.

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Me too, is just if I throw up or collapse,

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 2>get me to a doctor.

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Collapses is difficult, difficult with a dog because they spend

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you have if your dog does this,

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>but they spend a lot of time just lying about.

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.360
<v Speaker 2>So what does a collapse look.

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Like when you spend ninety percent of your life lying there?

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, at one point he does he does start

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>throwing up. And this is late night, so he starts

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.880
<v Speaker 1>throwing up. So I thought, okay, so he's got still

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>got this giant neck and he's thrown up. They told

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.159
<v Speaker 1>me specifically, if this happens, I gotta go. So I

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:10.679
<v Speaker 1>call up the emergency VET. I tell him what's going on.

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>They said, yeah, you better come in, and so I

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 1>get there at like twelve thirty in the morning on

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a Saturday night.

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Tell him myself.

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Instead of being bothered by this, she should be thankful

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that this is happening on a Saturday night and not

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 1>a Tuesday night or some other night where you'd be

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>having to go to work.

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. I was trying to make lemon nade

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>out of lemons.

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>But so we go and we get there, and like

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>every appointment for everything you ever do in your life,

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it takes like ninety times longer than you think it's

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 1>going to do. As I'm driving to the vet, I

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>thought the zoo is like fifteen miles away. I could

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>be the zoo in no time handle this old situation.

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of you didn't like that from last week.

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So I, oh, went.

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Ahead, lions right, No Katie, no Jack, no Vet, this direction, zoo,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 1>this direction.

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I came to a fork in the road.

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>But but I went ahead and went to the vet,

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and I passed on all all the tests.

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I passed on all the tests.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 1>We all know how that works if you've ever taken

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, say, we could do this test, we could

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>do an ultrasound, and then we could you know, do

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>nine different kinds of blood tests and everything like that.

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Next thing, you know, you walk out with a five

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars bill. I just said, note all the tests

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>after they declared that probably okay.

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, looking at him, everything's gonna.

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Be okay, and okay, So I'm just I.

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Passed on all the tests with some concern. But I

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 2>ended up being there all night long. Brought him home

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 2>at six thirty in the morning.

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Just waiting for him to be seen, or what combination

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:39.959
<v Speaker 1>of waiting to be seen and waiting to see if

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he's going to stabilize, and you know, just all those

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of things. But I got out of there with

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a decent sized bill. I happened to live next to

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the best emergency vet clinic in the world. Oprah brings

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>her pets here, Celebrities fly in with their animals. Kardashians

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>bring their pets here to this particular vet clinic, and

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they know they're that and they charge accordingly. So it's

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>very easy to get very expensive, very quickly.

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 2>But everything. So, what was wrong with him? I think

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 2>it was just a beasting or whatever. I think that's

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 2>that's funny. My sister had a similar situation over the weekend.

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 2>She thought it was a beasting, but it was an

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 2>abscessed tooth really in her hound. I said no to

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the test. I know a lot of you disagree. You

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>say yes to all the tests.

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know that's up to you, and they're like

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>my tests, they're like my kids.

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 2>You say, that's fine, you do you all do me.

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna finish strong next to here.

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>So we are not a breaking news show.

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Obviously people listen to it in podcast form or different

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.520
<v Speaker 1>time zones or whatever. But Zelensky's about to arrive at

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the White House, and I do want to see if

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he's wearing a suit or not. And I want to

0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>see if Trump says anything to him if he's not

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 1>wearing a suit, because I can't imagine Trump not making

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a comment. If Zelensky shows up again in his military outfit,

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I find that horror. Fine, of course it's horrifying. Of course,

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it's horrifying that this matter is it matters at all.

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 1>What would you do, though, your Zelensky? Would you show

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 1>up in a suit?

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, absolutely see why you would. But if look,

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 2>he considers himself the commander in chief and he wears

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>a military garb all the time, I suppose i'd show

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 2>up in that.

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, because if you show up in the suit,

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it is a one hundred percent. I do what you

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:36.040
<v Speaker 1>want me to do on your terms. Yeah, that's the

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>worst way to present it. The other way to present

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be, this is the most powerful military on

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 1>earth that I'm asking for help. I'm gonna be as

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 1>polite as I possibly can be and respectful to try

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to get what I want.

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're not wrong. It's a tough one. You want

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 2>to hear. Here's here, what the hell moment of this story?

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 2>The first Lady, Melania Trump, who is a very attractive

0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 2>and b knows at least four more languages than I do,

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>has written a letter to Vladimir Putin asking him to

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 2>stop the killing for the sake of the children. Yeah,

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 2>hand delivered on Friday. I guess, really, why don't you

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 2>just write a letter to dogs and ask him to

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 2>stop barking? I mean, I mean, that's sweet in a way.

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 2>It's lovely in a way, and a complete idiotic waste

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 2>of time in another way. Why I don't understand. I

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't react to it was almost counterproductive to me to

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 2>go to an evil murderer and beg them to stop murdering.

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 2>That's worse than nothing.

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't react to that story with a heartfell of hate,

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 1>as you apparently have. But you're starting to convince me

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that perhaps because I'm trying to pick somebody else. I

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>hate to use Hitler. Everybody uses Hitler all the time as.

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>An exig won't use Hitler. But what I'm going to

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 2>write a letter to hit earlier.

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this whole murdering jewice thing, I think it's terrible.

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 2>You should stop. Would make me look silly, right, Yeah, exactly, Well,

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 2>and imploring him as a fellow parent to protect the

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 2>innocence of children, I'm sure. And again it's a lovely

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>impulse and she seems like a lovely gal.

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I got a new angle on that. But maybe I'll

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 1>make that my final thought.

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, we have kidnapped fifty thousand children, We've killed

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 2>thousands of others. Are you sure you're writing this letter

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to me? He's thinking, is this addressed to the wrong guy?

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 4>It is now my incredible privilege to present final thoughts

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 4>with He's moron arms wrong and Getty.

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 2>to wrap up the show for the day. There is

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>our technical director, Michael Angelo Michael, what's your final thought

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 2>about this? Zelenski doesn't show up with a suit. He

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 2>shows up with something that's actually stained, like with ketchup

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>and mustard and h you know, he's just eaten. All right,

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, all right, do better next time? Okay, Wow,

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 2>terrible Wow. I give that a D minus. Katie Green,

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 2>what's your father? So times? Get ready? One grade? I

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 2>just want to let Jack know I'm very proud of

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>him for not taking pug Seed up to the zoo.

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Just couldn't cross my mind. I know it did. One

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 2>of the problem solves. You do that though, I mean

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 2>it's effective. Jack.

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Final thought for us, I think the most charitable view

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>is Malania did this just because it got out in

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the news the way it got out and draws attention

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to the fact that Rushes snatched a lot of children, which.

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Is not as big a story as it probably should be.

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what that is clever Because I'm reading some

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:54.800
<v Speaker 2>of the verbiage of it. It's completely wasted on putin,

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like horribly wasted, but it's rather beautifully written

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 2>about children and the quiet dreams that they share in

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 2>their hearts and the melody of a child's laughter. And

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the rest of it. It's gorgeous writing. So she's model writer.

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>First lady behemoth breeder apparently Armstrong enormous son. Yes, I'm

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.080

<v Speaker 2>Send Barron in to defeat the Russian forces single handedly.
