WEBVTT - Children... They're So Stupid! 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:06.480 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Kaddy Armstrong and Jettie 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:24.400 and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.800 So we got some good stuff to talk about this hour. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.560 Last hour we talked about this. The CEO of bed 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:32.640 Bath and Beyond put out a letter on how they 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.159 can't operate stores in California anymore because of all the problems. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:41.080 The tax is, the regulation, the crime, everything else. Nick 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:46.000 Gillispie of Reason magazine says, this is the culmination of 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.400 what they had written about several years back. Is California 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.680 over because of all its problems? So we can talk 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.600 about that a little bit later. Good luck running on that, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:55.640 Gavin Newsom. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:00.440 Wow wow, So my investigative journalism has paid off yet 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:05.360 another key fact that makes the hot, self important drunk 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.600 chicks in Rhode Island story even more hilarious. Oh okay, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.880 I wasn't sure in what order to list those adjectives hot, drunk, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.520 self important chicks. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:23.160 I think the hot part because you only get traction 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.160 at all because you're a hot chick with this sort 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:35.000 of behavior, right, militant, loud, nasty looking chick or exhibits 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.680 this sort of behavior too. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.280 In political settings. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:47.360 Lately, it's the angry grad school lunatic screaming at the cops, what. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.120 Are you doing? 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:49.720 What are you doing? 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:50.720 Are you're arrested? 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.840 That's some you know, pro Hamas rally or something like that. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.040 It's kind of a cousin to the drunk, self important 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.680 hot chick syndrome. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:00.600 Anyway. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.640 Uh So, here's here's a question for you. First of all, 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.920 you know more about drunks in general than I do. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.079 These women, particularly the special Assistant Attorney General name of 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.440 Devon Hogan Flanagan. Who is who is busted by the cops? 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.600 You know what, I'll ask my question after we replay 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.320 the tape. Go ahead, Michael, this is what it sounded 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.160 like the cops trying to get them to leave a restaurant. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:28.280 You're a trust mess. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:29.160 We gotta leave now. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.480 Number one, you're not gonna arrest us. Number two, we 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.600 gotta go. I'm an aging good for you. Let's go. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.440 We're leaving. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:59.880 Put your hands off. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.000 The fact that she apparents. Can I buy those cops 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.480 drink place? I would like to sit down and enjoy 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.520 a libation with you, fellas well done. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:09.000 The fact that she literally seems to believe that as 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.320 the attorney general, the top. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.800 Bestal assistant attorney general. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.960 But well, she's saying, I'm the I'm an age anyway, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.560 you're part of the top cop office, that the laws 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.160 don't apply to you. I mean, that's what you're saying. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.960 That's it's a heck of a thing to say out loud. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.480 Well, and here's my favorite part of it, other than 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.600 that they tried to show that they indeed were the 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.840 reasonable ones by trying to kick out the windows in 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.440 the cop car. The cops had told them repeatedly, I 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.000 don't want to arrest you. All you have to do 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.560 is go. They've asked you to leave, Just go. I 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.720 don't want to arrest you. You're not going to arrest us. Okay, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.200 so let's leave. We gotta go, We gotta go. The 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.040 officer replies, no, you can't make us. You can't arrest us. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.720 I don't want to arrest you. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:03:59.280 Just leave. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.480 See that, No, they had to sit there. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:07.040 The normal drunken reaction to that would be, WHOA, I 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.920 have really lucked out here that all they're doing is 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.080 asking me to leave. I am going to get out 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.560 of here to avoid any further problems. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.680 Well, and just to give you a sense of how 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.479 it was inside the restaurant, the following exchange took place. 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.000 The cop can be heard on the camera asking a 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.680 restaurant employee do you just want them out? Do you 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.640 want them trespassed? The employee says, anything we can do trespass. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.680 Yes. So here's a question for you. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.600 As a guy who's somewhat familiar with over empuibers, these 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:46.479 two hobbies will take complete responsibility quote unquote, and say 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.880 I have a problem with alcohol. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.160 I am an alcoholic. It is a disease. You would 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.520 you wouldn't fire somebody for having a disease? Would you? 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.800 If I had COVID? Would you fire me? No, it's 0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.400 a disease. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.240 Is the primary problem that they're drunks? Or is it 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.320 hard to say separate? 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:09.679 No? 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.560 No, No, it's not. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.080 Or is it that they're a holes? 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.960 It's their a holes. I've known thousands of drunks, and 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.520 I've been around thousands of drunks thousands of times. There's 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.440 only a certain personality that ever. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.560 Acts like that right right, right, well and part of 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.520 his hot chick syndrome or and or be an a 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.400 whole I mean, because it may shock you to hear 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.000 I have actually been over served at times, and I 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.240 have filed the appropriate lawsuits against the Pasterns who did it. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.080 You should they should have recognized it and stopped serving you. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.279 But I think those of us who have been in 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:49.479 that unfortunate, regretful position, I think might have muttered this 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.200 is blessed, but then left. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.599 Right. Look, I don't want to arrest you. You just 0:05:55.680 --> 0:06:00.800 have to leave. You can't arrest me. What the reaction 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:01.320 is that? 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.080 And like, well, to me, worst case scenario, this is 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.480 bull as well. Okay, I'll go. Or I knew we 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.440 had the music up really loud in our house really late, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:13.840 and I knew the cops are going to come at 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.320 some point, So yes, I'm turning it down. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.920 Yeah, sorry, dude, Sorry you had to come up. Yep, Yeah, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:19.799 we're gonna we'll. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.160 Turn it down of course. All right. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.120 Speaking of crime, the fabulous David Spunt of Fox News 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.680 here specifically crime in the district. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.920 The Department of Justice investigating whether someone or multiple people 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.200 may have manipulated Washington DC crime stats. Two sources briefed 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.440 on the matter tell Fox News DC police statistics show 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.760 violent crime down twenty six percent from last year. The 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.320 members of the Trump administration and local police union dispute 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:46.800 the data. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.120 This is something that's been unfortunately part and parcel of 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.039 the police department for some time, and we're very skeptical 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.159 that these crime stats are accurate. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.960 President Trump posted about the allegations of number tampering on Monday, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.080 writing it was done quote to create a false illusion 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.760 of safety. A DC police commander involved in compiling numbers 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.760 was reportedly put on leave earlier this year, pending an 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.080 investigation into changing statistics. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:12.480 ABC News. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.920 I believe it was last night at New York Times 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.920 at all, still reporting just that crime is actually down 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:19.800 starkly in DC. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.880 It's a lie that it's a dangerous place with lots 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:24.280 of crime. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.120 And nobody is mentioning the lawsuit that was quietly settled 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.480 just a couple of weeks ago by the DC Department, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.600 that the Free Beacon report an end chapter and verse, 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.240 all the particulars, all the exhibits from the trial that 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.240 this cop was saying. No, they systematically are telling all 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.120 of us, you've got to misreport crimes in a specific 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.480 way to make the stats look better. So that's our 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.080 lead into the fabulous Nelly bowls of the free press. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.800 Who's talking about this? Trump is sent in the National 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.760 Guard to tamp down crime in d C. Is it 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.200 a symbolic overreaction theater, Yes and yes, but from the left. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.640 That's not the The critique from the left, and by 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.280 that I mean our mainstream newspapers, the critique is that 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.239 DC has. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.080 No crime problem, no issue at all. It's perfect here. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.840 How could anyone dishornor our completely safe in pristine capital. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.400 That sound you heard was definitely not a gun, she writes. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.880 Here's the New York Times chief White House correspondent quote, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.000 citing a non existent crime crisis. Trump plans to take 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.200 over the Washington, d C Police and put troops in 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.560 the streets of the nation's capital. Is the crime crisis 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.760 non existent, as the old gray lady said? Yeah, the 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.280 homicide rate may be falling, but d C still has 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.840 a very high crime rate. She goes into the stats. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.320 Then she says, but cars are being stolen because they're 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.679 wearing short skirts. Car stealing is in anyone's fault by 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.320 the cars? You think I'm joking? And then she shows 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:56.200 the big headline stolen kias and hyundais or Kia and 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.920 Hyundai have contributed to the car theft rings they should 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.760 be forced to pay to New York Times story saying 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:08.199 that because Kias and Hyundai's are slightly more thievable than others, 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.400 that they should be forced to pay back law enforcement 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.720 for the costs of dealing with car thieves. Hence ms 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:20.320 Bowle's reference to rape that cars are just stolen because 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.199 they're wearing short skirts. They asked for it, and then 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.520 she says this one was a classic stolen Kias and 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.600 Hundais have been involved in numerous crashes, armed robbery sprees, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.720 and other crimes across the country. We're recovering guns out 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.280 of a lot of Kias that are stolen, said Seattle's 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:41.199 police chief. The Kias are armed. The DC Police released 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.880 a simple guide to avoid carjackings. This is in a 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:49.320 city that the New York Times Chief White White House 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.080 correspondent said a nonexistent crime crisis. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.000 Here's what the city tells. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:55.160 You. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.080 Drive in the center lane to make it harder for 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:03.360 potential carjackers to approach you car, avoid driving alone. Travel 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.080 with someone whenever possible, especially at night. Wow, when you 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.520 are not coming to us, When you are coming to 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.920 a stop, leave enough room to maneuver around other cars, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.640 especially if you sense trouble and need to get away, 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.920 So Nelly writes, easy, pasy, I just remember to get 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.640 my kids in their car seats, put snacks in the 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.200 cup holders, and leave enough room between other cars and 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.319 me for tactical maneuvers. And if the kiak pulls out 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.520 a gun, my CRV does too. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.640 Oh, and she says a final DC police nugget. 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.360 DC's crime lab lost its accreditation four years ago and 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:43.280 only this year received permission, but just to analyze fingerprints. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:49.440 And no other evidence. Marine Dowd, who lives in Washington, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.959 d C. Writing over the week and writing over the 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.080 weekend for The New York Times. And she's a liberal 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.280 and she couldn't hate Trump more and she talks about 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.360 being hit learn all this different sort of stuff. But 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.920 she also talks about how many DC residents are secretly 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.080 glad to see more uniforms on the street no matter 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.840 what statistics say, they don't feel safe. Maureen Dowd writing this, 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.320 I find myself packing pepper spray again. I feel more 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.600 wary about walking around the city. It's disturbing to ask 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.120 someone to unlock the clariton at CBS because the police 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.880 don't lock up the smash and grabbers anymore. That's Marine 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.880 Dowd writing in the New York Times, right, And but basically, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.600 the chief correspondent of the White the chief White House 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.760 correspondent of the New York Times, you are among the 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.280 elite of the elite of American journalism, and you are 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.160 writing with a straight face that it's a non existent 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:45.040 crime problem. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.000 Crime's way down. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:46.680 Well. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.920 Her point is, as is true with a lot of 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.280 your mainstream Democrats, is you're handing Trump a win. They 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.679 hate Trump, and what they're mad about is that you're 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.960 handing them a win by claiming DC is fine. Her 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.240 last paragraph is, even if Trump is being diabolical because 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.480 she doesn't like his methods, Democrats should not pretend everything 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:13.640 is fine here because it is not right. Wow, We've 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.199 been talking about this like the whole day, because the 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.720 front page story in the New York Times is how 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.079 the Democrats are bleeding members in their party and it's 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.079 because of stuff like this. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.080 What what? 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.040 How are you pretending this isn't true. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.040 I've got another example of that. It's going to blow 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:34.199 your mind. Cool, how nutty has the Democratic party become 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:40.680 ask their first transgender congress person, because. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.400 They will tell you believe it or not. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.240 Stay cool, that's interesting stuff. A lot on the way, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:51.040 stay here. And what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.800 that people are terrified by what has happened with. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.960 Some of these venezuela and gangs. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.360 I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happens. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.160 I'm going to stop Yous were limited to a handful 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.600 of apartment conflex apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:12.160 dedicated police officers have acted on those concerned a handful 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:12.880 of problems. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.280 Do you hear yourself? 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.600 Only a handful of apartment complexes? 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.200 Remember that directly? 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.800 Yeah, Martha raddits as mainstream as can be, saying, yeah, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.560 trendy Iragua was in charge of a handful of apartment 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.120 complexes in Colorado. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.800 But let's not overreact. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.360 Well, she had to interrupt jd Vance. She wasn't gonna 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.920 let him get away with that, right. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:36.760 What are you talking about? 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.880 By the way, you got to throw this in Elon Musk. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.319 According to uh Mark, alprin is headed towards spending hundreds 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:49.240 of millions of dollars to elect jd vance President Andy's. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.680 Shelves plan to start his own political party. Two for 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.439 that threes of millions of dollars. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.400 Yeah, wow wow. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.440 So headline in the New York Times, the Jack referenced 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.640 a couple of minutes ago the Democratic already faces a 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:06.479 voter registration crisis, and just in the first three little paragraphs, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.840 they say the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters, and voters 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:15.160 are stampeding to the Republican Party, some sort of bloody 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.720 stampede apparently, oh my god. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.680 Some sort of stampede where you cannot stop the bleeding. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.720 And as we discussed in our two of the show, 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.520 I think we kicked off our two of the show 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.760 with this in detail. But of the thirty states that 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.360 track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground or 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.640 Republicans in every single one of them, and often buy 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:42.040 a lot and a lot of it's young voters and 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.560 certainly male voters. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.080 But it is disaster for the Democratic Party. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:48.840 And. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:55.000 The obvious diagnosis I think was exemplified there by Martha 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.640 Ratitts and some of the other stuff we've been talking 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:02.040 about to say, hey, your apartment complexes are run by 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:07.320 murderous Venezuelan gangs could be in such a baby or Washington, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:07.600 d C. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.040 Is perfectly safe. There's no crime there. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:15.160 I mean, that is so wildly outside the actual mainstream 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:16.440 of America. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.080 A handful of problems. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:25.320 The mainstream media might think that's reasonable, but humans don't. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:30.520 And apartment complexes need to be taken over by gangs 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:32.280 before it's newsworthy. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.560 Martha right, handful of problems. What an insane thing to say. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:43.080 But anyway, I turn it into the free press. And 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:48.000 this story is kind of the crystallization of the Democratic 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.600 parties problem. And if they can come to terms with this, 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.440 take a deep breath, and like I did when my 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.360 arthritis was so bad, I realized I need surgeries and 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.160 it would hurt real bad and it would be expensive, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.080 and I couldn't do stuff I liked for a real 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:06.800 long time. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.080 But I had no choice. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.320 They have got to have surgery to remove the radical 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:13.440 left from their party. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:14.400 Listen to this. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:20.400 Sarah McBride, quote unquote, Delaware's Democratic representative and the first 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:25.040 openly transgender member of Congress, did an interview with Politico's 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.800 Dasha Burns earlier this month. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.880 In the interview, McBride very gently. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.400 Through some of the extremist center Party under the bus quote, 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.480 the reality in today's environment is that your party ecosystem 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.560 is defined not just by politicians or the party, but 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.960 also by some of the loudest voices online that in 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.160 the voter's minds reflect and represent that broader coalition, meaning 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:50.000 the movements being ruined by our radicals. She was murdered 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:55.480 on Blue Sky, torn apart. Don't even google Sarah McBride 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.720 Blue Sky unless you want obscenities and threats and horrors. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.360 This is the first brands gender member of Congress saying, Yeah, 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.840 the Democratic Party has been ruined by her radicals, and 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.639 the radicals wanted to rip his her throat out. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.520 And Elon's going to spend hundreds of millions to help 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.840 Jade Vance get elected president in twenty hundreds of. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:15.600 Dollars left hour. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.359 When it comes to security, they're willing to put people 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.760 on the ground, We're willing to help them with things, 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.040 especially probably if you could talk about Bay Air, because 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.080 there's nobody has the kind of stuff we have. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.720 So yeah, that was Trump yesterday making it clear no 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.880 US boots on the ground, but we would help with 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.600 our air force. But you know, obviously if. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.120 We were attacking or something. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:45.600 Well, that's a good question. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.399 Michael Trumps franctured syntax. It's syntax. It's always a little 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.160 challenging to figure out what he actually means. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.919 Sometimes he does that on purpose, or all politicians do 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.480 that on purpose to leave things vague. But and then 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.720 and then sometimes you fill in the blanks the way 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.359 you want them filled in. But they didn't actually commit 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.720 to that. Everybody does that in politics. But John Bolton 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.280 said the other day, you know, we if you got 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.760 French and British troops on the ground and they start 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.960 getting hammered by Russia, we're in it. I mean, even 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.719 if we don't put US boots on the ground, we've 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:23.520 got our air force coming to their defense obviously, so 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.359 and everything that goes from there. So a couple of 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.840 different things. I suppose we'll get into the longer conversation 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.240 about this. Our current thinking, well my current thinking. I 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.760 think our current thinking is starting with I don't know yesterday, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.679 a couple of days ago. Has anybody asked Putin if 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.400 he has any interest in this. I feel like this 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.560 is an entirely one sided conversation. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.320 Yeah, they the Kremlin and Putin and Lavrov have given 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.400 every signal that no, I'm not meeting with Zelenski. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:52.080 Absolutely not. 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.280 Well, here's a little more on that. Here's a report 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.000 from CNN. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.120 Yesterday, the Russian Foreign minister came out and he said, look, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.520 the Russians are not against any sort of format per se, 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.280 whether it's bilateral or trilader, but they also say that 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.440 any sort of meeting would have to be well prepared 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.840 and takes time to prepare. So so far, the Russians 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.280 have not confirmed whether or not Vladimir Putin is even 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.680 up for a meeting with voladimirs Lenski, and whether he 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.680 has confirmed that that such a meeting will actually take place. 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.680 Of Trump does what a lot of salespeople do, the 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.159 presumptive closed thing, where you just you state something as 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.719 if it's already been agreed upon and then hope that 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.320 momentum or your embarrassments. It's saying, wait a second, I 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.000 don't remember agreeing to that, or something will carry it forward, 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.760 but it's not gonna work in this case. Another quick 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:39.760 report from CNN. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.640 Putin can't go just anywhere. There is a warrant out 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:45.800 for his arrest by the international courts. That was from 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.040 two thousand and three because of the Ukrainian War. So 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.680 that's why he has ruled out almost all European countries. 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.040 But there have been a number of countries that have 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.680 been floated that it would include Switzerland, Hungary. But right 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.200 now it doesn't appear as though Putin has firmly said 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.960 a time, which is obviously going to impact where exactly 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.919 this is. I have been told that most of the 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.400 planning on the trilateral has been put on hold till 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:12.680 they figure out that first meeting. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.280 Well, the Wall Street Journal is writing today that they 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.359 think it's very unlikely that there is a Putin Zelensky 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:20.959 meeting with or without Trump. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.840 Ever, right, I would agree. 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.119 I'm starting to think this is gonna nothing is going 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.400 to come out of all of this, and then we're 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:31.080 going back. 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:33.280 Go ahead. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.960 Then we're going to be back to is Europe willing 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.000 to go to war against Russia with Ukraine or not? 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.080 So I don't remember if it was Prague or Romania 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.120 because people have been throwing it around. But you want 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:54.280 to hear how calculating and cloaked but mean Putin and 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:58.000 the Kremlin are. They threw out a suggestion for well, 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.200 you know if we did meet, how about this location 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:02.280 and it was and I can't remember if it was 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.359 Progu or Roumini or whatever, but the very location where 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.320 Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arms in return 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.760 for the Brits and US, the United States assuring their 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:15.280 defense and their sovereignty. 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.440 That's where Budapest comes from. So the famous Budapest right, 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:23.159 the famous Budapest Agreement for nineteen ninety four, which is 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:27.960 horrifying in retrospect, where the world basically said, you bring 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.959 give up your nuclear weapons, Ukraine, we got your back, 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.639 with your on this paper right here, will sign the 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.320 Budapest Agreement, which obviously hasn't helped them much as they've 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.120 been invaded multiple times and now currently are at war 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.119 with Russia and nobody has really really stepped up to 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:44.800
