WEBVTT - Fruit! What's Interesting About Fruit?! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.680 Getty and no he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.639 In the so called White House Press Secretary wants to 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:31.560 lecture America and lecture us about civility. Get lost, clean 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.240 up your own house before you have anything to say 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.000 to us about the language that we use. The threat 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.760 right now in this country to the American people are 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.360 extreme maga Republicans. 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:45.560 That's the threat. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.280 No one has ever been more dangerous to this country 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.160 than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his core. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.440 We're to war right now to save this country, and 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.760 so you have to be willing to do whatever is 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.480 necessary in order to save the country. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.960 I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.640 to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is. 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.319 Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes? I do. 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.000 We have a tim ol Hitler in the White House 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:13.559 right now. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.240 They're still going to have to go out and put 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.440 a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact. He's 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.000 just a vile creature, the worst thing one face of 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:21.360 the earth. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.679 Who said the bullet come in. I mean that stands 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.919 out is different than the other ones. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:27.360 Yeah, I didn't recognize that. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.880 What was that that? That couldn't have been anybody in office? 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.039 Nobody say to that. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.960 Wait a minute, Jasmine Crockett just said it was the 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.360 whole thing was faked. It was a false flag. She's 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.479 in office, she's an idiot. Well, we'll figure out. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.040 Saying something is fake is different than saying somebody needs 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.040 to put a bullet in the president. 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.800 You couldn't get away with that. Who was that in 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:45.360 that clip? 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.480 Rick Wilson, he's a political strategist. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.080 He's the Lincoln Project. Yeah right, those people. Lincoln Project 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.640 is the most embarrassing thing anyway. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:57.680 Yeah. Yeah. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:03.360 So what's really interesting out what's emerging from looking into 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.120 the latest guy to try to assassinate Trump is how 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:18.840 weirdly mundane, passionless, ill thought out, hardly ideological it is. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:24.000 I'm stealing this from Michael Brandon Doherty of the National Review, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.520 but he said it almost feels like as casual as 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:35.960 assassination attempt as retweet. And there's a lot to this 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.600 and I'm hoping I can, you know, herd it into 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.200 a recognizable shape. But if you look at this guy's 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:48.000 history online, it's interesting. He has a great deal of 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:52.200 animosity toward Trump and the administration. But for instance, he 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:58.880 had lately said that on the the insane islamiunist influencer 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.320 Hassan Piker, he said, where is that quote? After he 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.040 we mostly posted about video games, but then he started 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.680 to get kind of political. But and he retweeted posts 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.880 comparing Trump to Hitler the wake of the attempted assassination 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.200 of Trump and Butler Pennsylvania, all and retweeted posts basically 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:22.359 suggesting the attack could have been staged, blah blah blah. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.720 And then but then when the Hassan Piker guy was 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:32.560 tweeting in favor of shoplifting, uh, he said, he retweeted 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.200 somebody who said, I've spent a lot of time in 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240 countries where graft and drifting or the norm, and I 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.520 assure you it, it's worth a truly immense cost to 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.080 prevent that from taking hold in our society. You don't 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.600 want to live in that kind of society. Hassan Piker 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:48.920 is an effing idiot. And the shooter retweeted it, and 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.280 then he retweeted somebody that's ae take and then he 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.520 retweeted somebody else who was talking about some influencer streamer's 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.360 dumb take, and he retweeted, I do not listen to 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:05.280 any streamers because streamers are dumb. And a review of 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.760 his posts on Blue Sky suggest the alleged gunman was 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:14.240 primarily drawn to mainstream resistance figures, Democratic activist Will Stancil, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.000 Princeton history professor Kevin Cruz, democratic propagandist Aaron Rupert, New 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:23.200 York Times columnist Jammel Bowie, Sarah Syong, the former Times 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.480 editorial board member. 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.560 That's who he mostly seemed into. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.719 Now, is this trying to draw some sort of therefore 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.840 these people are assassins. No, not really. We all need 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.240 to lower the political rhetoric. But the interesting and I 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:43.640 think significant part of this is that this guy, in 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:48.680 some of it, like his quote unquote manifesto, said things 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.839 like administration officials, not including mister Patel, who he'd opened, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.320 who he had mentioned earlier, they are targets prioritized from 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.440 highest ranking to lowest. He was armed with a shotgun, handgun, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.559 several knives. Spoke about his mission in the way someone 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.760 who imagines himself a Navy seal. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.120 Might but is not actually a Navy seal, he might speak. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.800 They are targets only if necessary, Alan said of the 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.720 Secret Service, and to be incapacitated none lethally if possible. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:18.239 Wow, have you ever watched a war movie or anything 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.839 like that? I mean, I really think you have a 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.120 it's childlife it is. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.400 Yeah, and then he included in his quote unquote manifesto 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.400 three objections to his attack on the Washington Hilton, and 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.400 his rebuttals to those objections, including number one was as 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.600 a Christian, you should turn the other cheek, he replied, 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.000 turning the other cheek as for when you yourself are oppressed. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.440 I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.360 not the fisherman executed without trial. I'm not a school 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.880 kid blown up, or a child starved or teenage girl 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.440 abused by the many criminals in this administration. He'd bought 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:49.720 the whole Trump is a. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.880 Pedophiles, as Nora O'Donnell mentioned the on Sixty Minutes the 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:59.039 other night. Yeah he he. I personally know, Like I'm 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.800 not just read this online. I personally know people who 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:08.200 believe the Trump Hillary bushes all of them are baby 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.920 raping pedophiles. So this guy believed that stuff, I mean, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.599 and if you believed that stuff, you could justify any action. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.760 If you believed that stuff, I mean, you could justify anything. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.479 It's also worth mentioning as both the free press, I 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.360 believe it was. And a couple other people have mentioned 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.599 that CNN has gone very big because again, this guy 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.000 seemed to be mostly into pretty mainstream commentators. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.359 CNN's gone really. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.080 Big with a couple of those completely discredited people who 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.360 came out of the woodwork and claimed they knew about 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:44.320 Jeffrey Epstein, that there was baby eating, and that Trump 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.599 was there and she saw him raping a young girl 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.760 and just what I mean. The FBI under Biden, for 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.800 what it's worth, you know, looked at these people and said, Okay, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.599 this is the sort of mentally ill person who comes. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.080 Out of the woodwork. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.839 But there are quote unquote mainstream outlets that are reporting 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.880 this stuff gleefully because such great, delicious clickbait. But then 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:08.600 you've got an intelligent, but again childlike in his judgment, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.200 fella who decides it's all true and he's gonna kill 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.119 Trump in his entire cabinet for it. And his plan 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.280 is again childlike in its completely utter lack. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.400 Of reality, so hear his marriage was on the rocks, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.520 or there's something bad with his family life. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.480 He had apologized he wrote his quote unquote manifesto as 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.040 a suicide note essentially, and apologized for the pain it 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.440 was going to cause his family, and also for the 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.520 pain he had caused previous to that, the specifics of 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.800 which I have no idea to. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.280 So there might be something we don't know about, something 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.560 in his main personal relationship. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.920 Right, And though this guy was childlike, he was planning 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.800 to run into a room in which the president was eating, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.600 guns blazing, he had to know he would die. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.520 Well, that's what I've wondered all along. It doesn't necessarily sound. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:02.800 Like he was expecting to die. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.440 I mean, if you do that experiment a thousand times, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.480 nine hundred and ninety nine times, you end up dead. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.720 I mean, the fact that he is not dead is shocking. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.080 He wasn't even shot. He just fell down, yeah where 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:15.720 they could tackle. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:16.320 Yeah. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.440 I still think there's more to be learned on the 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.680 bringing him down situation. It sounds like because there was 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.360 a woman on the other day who happened to be 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.960 in the hallway where he went down. You saw how 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.640 he was running. If you've ever run like so fast, 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.640 you're kind of out of control. He looked like he 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.160 was running out of control. Why carrying a bunch of stuff? 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.720 He just I think he fell and all his guns 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.680 went flying and they were in and grabbed him. What 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.760 if he hadn't fallen, would he had just went around 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.440 that corner, down a couple of stairs and been in 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.960 that room with a bunch of guns. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.280 Sure looks like it, And what did the It looks 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:52.800 to me like. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.440 If he hadn't fallen, he had just been able to 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.199 go right around the corner, down the stairs, and he'd 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.240 been in that room full of people. Now you know 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.360 what he'd been able to pull off? 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.000 Then? I don't know, but people would have gotten shot. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.560 He had to recover a huge geographic space to get 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.200 to the president and the people on the dais, but 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.120 he certainly could have gunned down innocence and journalists and 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.240 guests and that sort of thing. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.600 Yeah, I think he fell down. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.880 Yeah, I'm willing to wait a couple of weeks for that, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.960 because you know, the first stuff you hear is always fake. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.640 In fact, later, maybe I've got a piece on all 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.880 of the big time ish influors with influencers with hundreds 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.400 of thousands or more followers on Twitter, how they were 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:36.360 immediately out wearing their sexy keyhole dress, pronouncing what the 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.520 news was and how it was all wrong, but that 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.520 these people have hundreds of thousands of followers. Anyway, to 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.560 get back to the main thread of this, there have 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.439 been a couple of times in recent days we've quoted 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.840 Jonathan Alpert, who is a practicing psychologist or psychiatrist, and 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.360 he's writing a book about some of the mental problems 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.120 of the modern age, and he's had a couple of 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.920 great pieces printed, including in The Walls Street Journal, and 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.480 he's writing about when rationalization turns deadly. The common thread 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.439 that ties it would be Assassin's manifesto to a journalist's 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.160 excuses for micro looting. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.920 And he's talking. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.240 About how this guy's manifesto said, do you think that 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.520 when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.120 should walk on by because it would be inconvenient for 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.000 people who aren't the victim. Insofar as representatives and judges 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.000 do not follow with the law, no one is required 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.160 to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered. And he writes 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.160 this reflects a pattern you see every day in less 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.880 spectacular form, and he goes to the execrable, steaming horror 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.600 that was the New York Times podcast with that Hassan 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:45.319 Piker and those two giggling woman journalists indulging his islamiunism. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.400 But the logic is familiar. Large companies can absorb the loss. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.880 The system is unfair, the harm is negligible, and he 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:58.080 says the behavior recedes and the explanation takes over, and 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.200 if the explanation and I'm real summarizing quickly because we're 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.280 running low on time, but he says, it's about how 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:11.040 easily grievance turns into permission, and how feeling wronged starts 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.839 to look like a reason to do wrong. And he says, 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:19.200 in his practice that sort of rationalization he's seen throughout 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.720 his entire career. Something was taken from me, so taking 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.160 something back feels less like a violation and more like correction. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.000 And your question quietly shifts from is this right? To 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.280 who deserves it? And once it shifts, the answer is 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:40.360 always the same Jews. They deserve whatever I take from them, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.360 or if I hurt them or whatever. And he says 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.319 it destroys relationships, and it destroys societies if it gets going. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:52.920 It's almost as if far leftists want to destroy our 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.120 society and are teaching these values to all of our 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.679 children and young adults. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.640 That would be terrible, wouldn't it. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.719 That's interesting though, I'd never thought about that, and I 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.640 think that sounds true just psychologically. When you've been wronged, 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.120 and we all get wronged at various times where things 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.160 unfair happen, we have a desire, a need probably to 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:13.840 balance the scales somehow. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.680 Well, right, it's just an extrapolation of he hit me, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.920 so I'm going to hit him. But when you get 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.400 into human style rationalization, the hit that he did to 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.280 me might be something perfectly acceptable or mundane. I can 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.320 flesh this out because it's really well written. You know, 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.880 maybe a little bit later, Joe, you see it everywhere 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.960 and it's being taught to the kids. Do you all 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.239 know about Chonkers. Chonkers, the giant sea Lion. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.480 Is the toast of the West Coast. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.240 It's a big star. You need to talk about Chonkers. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.880 I think I'm gonna take the kids to see Chonkers 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.440 this weekend. That, among other things on the waist to hear. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.600 Joe and I, as of March, which was last month, 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.280 have been on the air in San Francisco on the 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.240 radio for twenty three years. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:03.360 It's amazing. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:10.920 That can't be right, I know. Anyway, So we're familiar 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.640 to this. If you're not familiar to San Francisco or 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.319 haven't ever been, you should go. One of the things 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.160 you go down less bummy than it was a few 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.160 years ago, definitely. Well, one of the things you do 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.160 is you go around Peer thirty nine, which is a 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:26.079 touristy area and see the sea lions who sunbathe on 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.000 these floating little docks that they got out there. Well, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.280 a giant, giant one showed up the other day named Chonkers, 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.640 which Katie first told us about the other day. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.440 When did Chonkers show up last week? Uh, two weeks ago. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.520 Chonkers is about three times bigger than any of the 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:43.400 other sea lions. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.959 Yeah, two thousand pounds laying around. No joke, I've seen him. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:47.960 He's a BFS. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.600 I'm telling you, he's a stellar sea lion, which is 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.120 not an adjective. That's actually the name of the kind 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.640 of sea lions. Sounds like an adjective. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.640 They're also calling him Chonkis Maximus. I like that, but 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.880 you know, I once pointed out a great egret to 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.240 my son. He said, it's an alright, so it's one 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.520 of those. Exactly, that's a stellar sea lion. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:14.880 It's okay, I don't know. Eleven feet long, two thousand pounds. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.280 They're usually only up in Washington nor Alaska, but this 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.400 guy came way down further south. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.960 Can you give us a minute to contemplate two thousand pounds? 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:25.720 It's pretty big. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.160 I just watched him jump up on one of the docks, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.040 and every other sea lion just went right into the water. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.040 The whole thing tipped. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:33.280 Oh yeah, yeah. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.120 People are enjoying it because when he sprawls across the docks, 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.800 he dwarfs all the other sea lions, and when he 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.440 hauls himself up and flops down, it sounds like a 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:42.160 tree falling. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.200 It says, I have not heard it yet. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.280 I might take the kids this weekend before he heads 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.360 back up north. I guess he's described as pretty mellow, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:50.680 mostly sunbathing and eating. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.320 Sounds like me. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.000 Oh if this is helpful. This is what chat GPT 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.520 told me. The nickname Chonkers came from social media. Basically 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.880 Chonky being comically big. Okay, thank you, oh so much, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.480 comically big. I had zero idea. 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.040 When if I witness a universal human reaction, it interests 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.640 me and I think probably every human being on earth 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.960 would look at that thing and say, holy crap, that's 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.920 a big seale. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.960 Why we're impressed by it? But we all are. Yeah, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.040 look at the size of that. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.520 There is a live cam on Peer thirty nine. We 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.160 should post that at the website so people could find it. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.320 I know what I'm doing is going to get nothing done. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.560 So you can watch Thenkers all the time. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.080 He usually usually shows up in the morning, but you 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.840 can see him a various times through the day. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.160 As the morning, I think about it. Clearly, a beast 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.680 that big from the dawn of time. Humans would either say, 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.480 oh my god, that's a threat or oh my lord, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.240 that's a lot of meat. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:16:00.000 All right, Yeah, I gotta believe the the native people 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.120 which we are broadcasting on lands once once owned by 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.040 the subtribe probably eight time, probably eight people like Chonkers. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.280 When they showed up, It's like Chalkers. 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.600 Is not there yet. I'll give I'll be back with 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.840 live Chonker watch how is the how does the KM look, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.560 how's the equality? The quality? 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:18.880 Wait, bether than what they had at the White House Correspondence, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.960 then I'll tell you that century. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.080 You know, what I'd like to do is go to 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.080 elementary schools, especially in California, and make the little children 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.760 cry by pointing to them, pointing out to them that 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.880 a lot of the Native peoples hunted the large mammals 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.640 of North America to extinction because they were big and 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.600 media and delicious, so they just killed them till they 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:38.200 were none left. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:38.760 Man. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.320 I got a book recommended by our friend Tim Sandfer 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.600 about the realities of the apaches that I got for 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.640 my son, and he is going to do a paper 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.520 for school about the realities of how Native Americans treated 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:52.000 each other. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.160 And we will see how that goes. Maybe they could 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.040 do a coloring book for younger children. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.640 Because that is an underdiscussed aspect of the people that 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.760 had this land before. It's the way they treated these 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.120 other It was not pleasant. It'll put the disgust back 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.560 in disgust. Yes, that's really good. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:13.720 That's fantastic. We are more on the way. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.520 The top college football player now Sideline Texas Tech, one 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.760 of the top programs in the country, says transfer quarterback 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.560 Brendan Sorosby is entering a treatment program for gambling addiction. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.639 ESPN reports, citing sources, that the NC DOUBLEA is investigating 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.679 Sowersby for gambling on college football games. The NC DOUBLEA 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.880 declined to comment to confirm whether he's been investigated. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.280 One of your biggest college football stars with a gambling 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.119 addiction in a world where it's very, very very easy 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.280 to gamble. That's not what we're going to talk about here. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:47.879 But there have been a number of articles I've come 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.800 across in recent days about how the data is in 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.800 this whole gambling everywhere is not working for society right. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.320 I don't know how you square that with libertarian views 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.560 of people get to amble if they want, but a 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:03.960 lot of people aren't handling it well. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.560 On the long list of things, I don't know how 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.959 successful is treatment for gambling addiction compared to say, drug addiction. 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.560 No idea, no idea. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.480 But if you know joff Us an oapmail bag and 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.600 Armstrong and giddy dot com. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.719 Those stats we had the other day about people who 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.439 played the lottery on how people with a household income 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.040 of twenty thousand dollars a year household yearly income of 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.320 twenty thousand dollars a year, by three times as many 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.960 tickets as household incomes that make thirty thousand dollars a year, 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.399 and they are buying a lot of them, So it's 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.880 preying upon I don't know, do I want to use 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.800 that perternalistic phrase. Probably not, because you get to make 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.439 your own decisions. But that's who's buying. You're not wrong, 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.879 that's who's buying most of the tickets, right Anyway, different topic. 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.399 We've talked about this a couple of times. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.080 So the United States, it seems, is decided to try 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.600 to keep Chinese cars out of America because we're worried 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.960 about what that would do to our car market, which 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.000 is a big part of our economy. The US car 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.560 industry contributes one point three trillion dollars to the economy 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.880 each year. That's a lot. And the old saying used 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.720 to be so goes GM, so goes the United States economy. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.960 It's not that big anymore, but still a big deal. 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.000 And we're concerned about the quality of these Chinese cars 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.040 and their price. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.200 They're just so freaking cheap. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.560 Anyway, The Wall Street Journal's got a big piece today 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.480 about car dealerships that are just across the border in Mexico, 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.439 where people are buying them and driving them and liking them. 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.480 Greeley is one of the cars that I would like 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.720 to try out. They've got an EV that's supposed to 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.280 be really good. It starts at twenty thousand dollars. Twenty 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.760 thousand dollars is like the price of what cars was 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:51.480 in the nineties. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.480 And not a strip down hunk of junk either. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.480 It's pretty technically advanced and impressive from every review I've read. 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.680 So they say, I do have a little bit of 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.560 the skepticism around. People like these stories so much. Remember 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.879 when Tubuck Chuck took off. There've been a couple of 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.680 those over the years. People just love the it's only 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.520 two dollars, but it's really good thing. For some reason, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.879 I don't know why. That captures people's imaginations. And the 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.119 two dollar line was actually pretty crappy. It was just 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.600 the novelty of it and everything like that. So I 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.280 wonder I'd like to sit in one of these cars 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.480 before I buy in completely too. And there's a lot 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:31.000 of you know, self hating reporters out there that would 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.040 love to talk about how China is kicking our assid everything. 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.760 So I would like to actually sit in one of 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:36.240 these cars. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.679 But if they you know, if they drive off the 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.679 lot and hold up at all, it doesn't even they 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.280 don't even need to be great. For twenty thousand dollars, 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.840 that's that is a price that I mean, we ain't 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.560 got nothing like that in the United States. 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:50.720 And I would point out. 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.199
