WEBVTT - Sand In Your Ice Cream

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty I'm Strong

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and Getty and he I'm Strong and Getty.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>The Read Comedy Festival is pulling some of the biggest

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>names in stand up to Saudi Arabia, including Dave Chappelle

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and Kevin Hart.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Your majesty Me, you friends, you here next.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Time, the Saudi governments reportedly paying some of them over

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars each to perform. It may seem incongruous

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 2>in Saudi Arabia, an ultra conservative Islamic kingdom, but in

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>recent years the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman has

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>tried to reshape his country's.

0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Image, investing billions in sporting events and entertainment, including the

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 3>recent takeover of Electronic Arts, an American video game powerhouse.

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.639
<v Speaker 1>And occasionally bone sawing a journalist if they say something

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>negative about the kingdom barbaric. Yeah, so this is an

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.559
<v Speaker 1>interesting story. We've talked about it a couple of times.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>David Cross, comedian I really like I hate David Cross's politics,

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>but I like his comedy. But he doesn't like that

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>some of his favorite liberal progressive comedians are over there

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>taking a million dollars from the Saudis when they abuse women, gays, everything.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 4>And they're against everything progressive comedians claim to be four.

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so you sign a contract. I want bad

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>mouth Islam or the government here. Do jokes about camels.

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>What's the one hump or two huh or whatever they

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>do comedy about, but particularly the fire jokes about sand,

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sand in your cross and in your ice cream, a

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of sand humor. Particularly the fact that Dave Chappelle

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>made some comment about free speech in Saudi Arabia. Well,

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>let's play this clip. This is from CBS News.

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>We reached out to Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle for comment,

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't respond. Chappelle apparently said on stage in

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Saudi Arabia that it's quote easier to talk.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Here than it is in America. Now, many Saudis I've

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>met on.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Reporting trips to the country would disagree with that claim

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.239
<v Speaker 2>about freedom of speech inside the kingdom.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you for that, Hallie Williams.

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Is the most idiotic things I have ever heard in

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 4>my life, and I've heard some idiotic things.

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Hally Williams of CBS News, I think being pretty kind

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>with that the way she put that. Yeah, my years

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of reporting here in Saudi Arabia, a lot of people

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>would disagree with that whole there's more free speech here.

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>What a whard.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Dave Chappelle, one of the great truth tellers in America,

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 4>goes over and says that somebody pointed out that he

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 4>converted to Islam and his teens, and you know, he's

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 4>been making jokes about the trans thing, which land better

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 4>in Saudi Ira. But that's just again, that is one

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 4>of the most idiotic things I've ever heard.

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You're free to speak here than in America. Good lord,

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Well how about this? So take it out of the

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>realm of this, Just like, what about the musical acts

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that go over there. You know, whether you're Mariah carry

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>or what was the billionaire Rihanna, you're those going of people,

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 1>and you go over there and you do a birthday

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>party for a Saudi prince. Do you have any problem

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>with that? You know, I wouldn't do it if I'm

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>already ungodly wealthy. No, I'm not gonna go freaking be

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>your dancing monkey in a country with no freedom whatsoever.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Because you can afford it. I'm not doing it. Well.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 4>First of all, they actually have dancing monkeys, so that

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 4>would be redundant. But you know, on one level, if

0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 4>these celebrities are obnoxious, you know, ideological presences online and

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 4>spout off in their concerts about progressive values, then they

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>go take money from the Saudis. I really don't have

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 4>a lot of interest in them. Of course, I didn't

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 4>have any interest in them spouting their opinion already. So yes,

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 4>they're hypocrites and jackasses. But America does trillions of dollars

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 4>of business with China, not to mention several other loathsome regimes,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 4>and it seems to me that the Saudis get singled

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 4>out in kind of a weird way. And I'm as

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.239
<v Speaker 4>hardcore anti radical Islam as anybody on the air, I think,

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 4>And I just I don't get how you have a

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 4>gigantic contract with China and it's hunky dory, but it's

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 4>awful to.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Do business with the Saudis. I don't see the difference. Okay,

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe would go perform for the Crown Prince and bend

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the knee, all right.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 4>Well that's a bit much, but it and it depends

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 4>on the nature of what you do too. If I'm

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 4>like a concrete contractor and they want me to consult

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 4>on the foundation of some building they're building, yeah I'd

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 4>go take that gig. I would too, But would I,

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>as a talk show host go over there and horror

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 4>for the Saudis Well, it depends on the number. Frankly,

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm just surprised though, Like, if you're already wealthy, I just.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Why for? Like David Cross, the comedian said, what so

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Luis k and Dave Chappelle can get another boat or

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>what you why do you even doing this? I don't know.

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 4>To me, you're either working or you're not working. There's

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 4>plenty of places to work that aren't freaking Saudi Arabia

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 4>not paying what the not paying what MBS pays?

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, I have standards and apparently anyonebody else does.

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying I get it.

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 4>It's just the thing that bothers me about comedians is

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 4>the nature of what they do. A concrete a contractor

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 4>designer or whatever. It doesn't spend their entire life trying

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 4>to root out hypocrisy and and bring people to the

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 4>truth through humor or whatever. It's a it's a different

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 4>beast that the comedians do bother me. But a singer

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 4>who goes up there and does a forty minute SAT

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 4>and gets an enormous amount of money, I don't I

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 4>don't care. As long as Nike has factories in China,

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 4>I just don't see the distinction.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>But I repeat myself, I own Nikes. Who's the hypocrite?

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Now right? Thank you? The trouble, I don't know if

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 1>that's I don't think this. Me having Nikes because it

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>fits my narrow foot is the same as Dave Chappelle

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>going and perform.

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Narrow foot narrow foot, Yeah, oh yeah, I embraced Hitler

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 4>back in the thirties because you know, I had narrow

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 4>feet and he has. He had good narrow footed shoes

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 4>that the Chinese are.

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Loathsome perfectly's the matter with you? Perfectly fair response anyway?

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, how welcome to armstrong and get he's how

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 4>to argue unfairly? Smmar so speaking of hipocrisy and the

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 4>media and that sort of saying, this is just it's

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 4>so delicious. I'm a bad person. I'm enjoying this much

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 4>more than I should. All of the freak outs at

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 4>CBS News over a moderate left lesbian woman becoming the

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 4>news director. Absolute freakouts by staffers posting online three different

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 4>editorials in the New York Times, three really saying how

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 4>bad and ugly this is so Barry Weiss is the

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 4>gonna be the news director at CBS, and they think

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 4>it's just awful for she's well, I don't even know

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 4>what you'd describe her politics. I mean, she's pro choice,

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.679
<v Speaker 4>she's she's married to a woman. Yeah, she's center left.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 4>So center left is just two.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. I ran into this situation just the other

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>day in my personal life, where uh like, center left

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be good enough for this person. You're either full

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>on progressive or a Nazi.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 4>New York Times columnist Jammel Bowie, who is a Marxist

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 4>quote looking forward to Barry Weiss restoring trust in news,

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 4>where trust in news means pumping out propaganda for your

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 4>oligarch boss. New York Times magazine writer and professional liar

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 4>and race baiting racist Nicole Hannah Jones quote In case

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't clear, the anti Dei crusade has never been

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 4>about merit, zero news experience, never been a reporter elevated

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 4>to editor in chief of CBS News, one of the

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 4>most storied institutions.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You not to be kidding me one more, because I

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>know what you're about to say.

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 4>New York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen not to be a pedant,

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 4>but Barry Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 4>opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>And she just said, we were talking about this yesterday,

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>how commentary magazine was wrote a piece about It's one

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of the most amazing media success stories ever. She started

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>with three people and built an empire in a couple

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>of years where she's got a revenue of one hundred

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and fifty million dollars a year.

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 4>Doing some of the best journalism with the best writers

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 4>and researchers and reporters.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 1>That have ever been assembled.

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 4>But no, she shouldn't be running CBS News because you know,

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 4>she was really just a junior editor occasionally wrote opinion piece.

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Is not even a columnist and the oligarch boss thing

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 4>was ridiculous. But Nicole Henner Jrun's never been a reporter,

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.239
<v Speaker 4>zero news experience. She just built an effing news empire

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 4>that blows the New York Times out of the water.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 4>How do people get themselves to say this garbage? They're

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 4>actually crazy?

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And there's been.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 4>More Seriously, it's like a conservative like me saying Barack

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Obama has zero talent as a politician.

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Mean, that's just stupid. Oh well, so there's been talk about,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, how much influence will she have on the

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Golden Prize? That is sixty minutes probably the most prized

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>news thing anywhere. And I came across this from Mary

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Catherine Ham of Fox reminding us we talked about this

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot last year. Sixty minutes last year did oh god,

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you got distracted because their names, Am, that's just fantastic.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't talk to you about anybody whose name sounds

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>like anything that's food related because you go Homer season. Anyway,

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>she reminded everybody, and we talked about this at the time.

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Remember that story sixty Minutes did last year, that glowing

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>thirteen minute profile of German speech police with the police

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>officers raiding a guy's home and his computer because of

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a cartoon they didn't like, and sixty Minutes presented of

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't this fantastic? People are scared to save various things

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>because the government keeps track of misinformation and disinformation, and

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they presented that as a good thing. So hope berry

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Wise has some influence on that sort of news story.

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>A nightmare.

<v Speaker 4>Wise salon dot com.

<v Speaker 1>Well they're jokers, please.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Two decades after Dan Rather warned that corporate control would

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 4>erode journalism, CBS News may be proving him right. Oh

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 4>my god, fears of political interference in layoffs.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>So you think the job CBS was doing was fantastic.

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Anonymous CBF staffer talked to The Guardian. A throwing up

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 4>emoji is not enough of a reflection of the feeling

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 4>in here. What the f Another CBS source posted, people

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 4>are using words like depressing in doomsday, wrote another feels

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 4>like some sort of doomsday.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Okay, you people need to quit. You need to go.

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>If you were at CBS and you have that attitude

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 1>and good on paramount, because imagine and the heat that

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>they're taking. They're getting lots of emails and texts and

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>schneide comments at to cocktail parties and whatnot, and they

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>went ahead and did this. Here's a priceless one.

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 4>There's more, but from CNN chief media analyst, the Eunuch

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Brian Stelter, CBS News desperately needs someone to supercharge its

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 4>digital strategy. Maybe the free press can help. But staffers

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 4>reading this morning's memos are left to wonder, what exactly

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 4>do the new bosses think we're doing wrong? What do

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 4>they think you're doing wrong? You're entirely one sided. You

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 4>are an advocacy wing of the Democratic Party. You don't

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 4>do journalism anymore, that's what Brian Stelter, chief media analyst.

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, what a waste of skin he is.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.199
<v Speaker 4>He needs to donate his skin to burn victims because

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 4>he's wasting it.

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. All right, we'll recover from that and

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>have more later.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 6>Democrats are adamant that we must protect the healthcare of

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 6>the American people.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>But if you would stop there, that would be great.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>But you're gonna keep talking, aren't you, aren't you.

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 6>New data came out today from KFF, and that is

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 6>not Kentucky Fried French Fries. KFF could be Kentucky French Fries.

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I know aren't. Who is that joke? Even for six

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>year olds that watch c SPAN, How are you doing? Truck?

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Shumer is a human flat tire. That's a good lie.

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a human flat tire.

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 4>The prospect of AOC, for goodness sakes, with all the

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 4>legislation she's passed, and now that doesn't.

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Matter anymore that your year, what your year, coalition she's built.

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about a different generation, that's all. It's exactly now.

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Being a senator running against Chuck Schumer. Oh my gosh,

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 4>these are some strange times.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The shutdown, Oh, the the thing. I want to

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>mention that at least once an hour because you're going

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to hear it a lot. The shutdown is finally going

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to reach you as air traffic controllers aren't going to

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>work since they're not being paid, and so you might

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>want to check on your flights. Blah blah blah blah.

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's missed a paycheck.

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 4>We're at least a week away from missing a single

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 4>dime of what you make.

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>So traffic controls, you're gonna go over to work today.

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a political stance. It's not a I have to

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>stay home with my kids because I can't afford something

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>or other. I don't even know what the argument would be.

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, it's got to be the Democratic Party putting

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 4>out the words of the employee of public employee unions. Hey,

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 4>we've got to make this hurt to swing people at

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 4>our sides. So you got to start calling in for

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 4>work or or whatever. More quotes of people freaking out

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 4>at CBS News and all over the liberal media about

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Barry Wysey, center left Jewish lesbian taking the helmet, CBS

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 4>portraying her like she's Hermann goering or something like that.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is just astonishing. We'll get to that. Oh.

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Also the.

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Controversy over the guy running for attorney general in Virginia.

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 4>I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, I don't even

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 4>pay attention to my own states races other governor wiring

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>in a torture us. With that, there's some really interesting

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 4>dynamics at play there. This guy is an enthusiastic spreader

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 4>of really disgusting violent rhetoric toward Republicans, including Republicans he

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 4>knows and works with, And in this era of Charlie Kirk'

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 4>assassination and political violence, his party is rushing to embrace

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 4>him and saying, oh, he took full responsibility.

0:16:58.160 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>He's fine.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 4>We got to keep him on the ticket. Have no principles,

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 4>so or on that to come as well. I can't

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 4>remember what else were we going to talk about here?

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you doom scroll?

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I try to stop describe, define doom scrolling. What counts

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 1>as doom scrolling because I don't think I'm looking author

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm looking for doom when I start scrolling.

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 4>No, But so much of what's online that you can

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 4>scroll through ends up being I would call it more

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 4>anger scrolling because everybody's angry all the time online.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me. You know I had something as on my

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>watch or my phone or somewhere that would have would

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>tell me every day how many hours I spent looking

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>at my phone, and I turned that off at some

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>point because I thought, what's the point. Maybe I'd turn

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that back on. I don't know how often I stare

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 1>at my phone, And then at the end of the day,

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Really, you spent that many hours a day.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 1>That's not the way you want to live your life.

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 4>It'd be nice if it's pointed out which app for

0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 4>which amount of time.

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or which site. That would be handy, right, if.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 4>You're reading classic literature, that's different than just flipping through

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 4>Twitter getting angry or and angry.

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and most of it's fake anyway, not even real.

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty coming up.

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.479
<v Speaker 2>An attorney general candidate in Virginia is apologizing for his text.

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>It's about a state lawmaker. We'll go through men, probably

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 1>be forced to withdraw from the rest and probably is

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot there.

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.760

<v Speaker 1>have any idea what they were talking about.

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Kevin corka Fox News is going to give us

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 4>some of the facts. It has to do with Democratic

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:45.479
<v Speaker 4>Attorney general nominee Jay Jones in Virginia. And to me,

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 4>a beautiful test case of all right, you said we've

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 4>got to calm down the rhetoric. Do you actually believe that?

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Are you willing to call out your own side or not?

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 4>Democratic Party? Kevin cork Fox News Here.

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.159
<v Speaker 7>Sometimes political ads really cut through and they changed the

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 7>tone and tenor of a race. And that will may

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 7>be the case tonight and the race for attorney general

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:12.119

<v Speaker 1>What so what?

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this guy wrote to a colleague, among other things,

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 4>if these guys go before me, I will go to

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 4>their funeral to piss on their graves and send them

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 4>out a wash in something. He then suggested, three people,

<v Speaker 4>Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Oiler, He writes,

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 4>put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, and he receives both bullets every time. And

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 4>the colleague that's a crazy person. Oh yeah, Oh it

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 4>gets worse. The colleague who he was sending that text to,

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 4>said Jay, please stop, and he said, lol, okay, okay,

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 4>And she said it really bothers me. When you talk

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 4>about hurting people or wishing death on them. It isn't okay,

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 4>no matter who they are, and he called her up

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 4>and berated her and said maybe he would change his mind.

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 4>They were talking about ben guns or some gun control thing.

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 4>He said, I'd like to see their kid die in

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 4>his mother's arms. Maybe then he would change his mind.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:49.959
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to see that.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, I whatever. Scarborough said. Yeah, he's got a

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 1>drop out of the race yesterday. Oh yeah, that's crazy

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 1>for completely. So here is the ad that's running.

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 5>The Washington Post confirmed j Jones sent texts that imagine

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 5>shooting the Republican Speaker of the House j Jones, which

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 5>the speaker's wife could watch her own child die in

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 5>her arms. It's so disgusting, it's hard to believe, but

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 5>it's true.

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 4>One more bit from Kevin Cork than I have comments, obviously.

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow Well.

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 7>Jones, for his part, has issued a statement apologizing for

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 7>the text, writing in part, I've reached out to Speaker

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 7>Gilbert to apologize directly to him, his wife, Jennifer, and

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 7>their children.

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I cannot take back what I said.

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 7>I can only take full accountability and offer my sincere

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 7>apology or still for Jones. The negative spillover could also

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 7>impact the governor's race in the Commonwealth, where fellow Democrat

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 7>Abigail Spenberger has expressed disgust with the comments, but has

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 7>yet to call on Jones to step aside, opening her

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 7>up for criticism from Lieutenant Governor Win, some seers, or opponent,

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 7>and even President Trump, who has demanded Jones step out

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 7>of that race.

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, on a macro level, before we get to the

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 1>specifics of this, we've got to decide as a society,

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>can you do something completely abhorrent and then just say

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I take full responsibility.

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 4>And get any now that it's causing negative consequences, I

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.160
<v Speaker 4>would like to apologize.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.919
<v Speaker 1>And get any credit for. Like P Diddy on Friday,

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm very sorry that I did that. I take full responsibility.

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>You're a monster.

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 4>You need to have some sort of I have come

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.479
<v Speaker 4>to God or I got therapy, or I was on

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.880
<v Speaker 4>drugs or something to make me believe you've changed.

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You can't just take it to you and this guy too.

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, I take full responsibility for calling for

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the death of my opponent. I apologize, Well.

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 4>What fantasizing about his wife watching their children die in

0:22:57.920 --> 0:22:59.239
<v Speaker 4>her arms because they deserve it?

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 1>No, you need to if it's me, you're not that

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy anymore, or wasn't then, or something.

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't need to apologize for saying something like that,

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 4>because I never have and I never would. You did

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 4>help me understand that if I were incing, that's what

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 4>I would say. And he said something about, yeah, people

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 4>need to feel consequences to change their policies or something's terrible.

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 1>But why does this matter?

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 4>Number One, Attorneys general, county prosecutors, we've learned, have enormous

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 4>power to either implement woke policies or not implement woke policies,

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 4>and Virginia is a big important state. Second, the gallo

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 4>was running for governor, Spanburger was a hardcore woke up

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 4>with transgender boys in girls bathrooms, boys in girls' locker rooms,

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 4>boys in girls' sports, and win some seers. The charming

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:56.239
<v Speaker 4>lieutenant governor who's running against her pointed that out, and

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 4>so this Spanburger liars running ads with her.

0:23:59.200 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's two.

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 4>In the ad and saying people are my opponent is

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 4>spreading lies about me. I love my daughters, and I've

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 4>worked to protect girls in schools and protect their rights

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 4>my whole career. I stand up for little girls like

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 4>my daughters. I'm what's her face, spam Burger. I mean,

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 4>it's just it is the far left with boys and girls'

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 4>locker rooms and fantasizing about shooting their opponents in the head,

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 4>masquerading as mainstream democrats. And these people, and there are

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 4>probably people like them in your state too, they need

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:38.160
<v Speaker 4>to be defeated.

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>So is there anything controversy about this Gilbert person that

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he believes should be shot.

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was My understanding was it was over there

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 4>had been some sort of school shooting or something like that,

0:24:54.080 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 4>and this J. Jones lunatic wanted to pass some sweeping

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 4>gun control legislation, and Gilbert said, essentially, no, you can't

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.719
<v Speaker 4>do that. We've got Second Amendment issues. And the problem is,

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, crazy people want to hurt people, blah blah blah,

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 4>and so he went into this fantasy about murdering Jones.

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so Gilbert, here's the question. And I don't actually

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>know the answer to this. I really want to be

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>an honest broker, fair arbiter of this thing of how

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>much of the left is crazy versus how much of

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the right is crazy. But it sure seems to me

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that lefty lunatics are way quicker to the either disown,

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't marry, you think you should be dead one

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent.

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 4>There was a major poll that we talked a lot

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 4>about where it was something like seven times as many

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Democrats that said they'd ended friendships over politics as Republicans did.

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.200
<v Speaker 4>It was over well sure feels and if that number

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 4>is wrong, I apologize. I don't have it in front

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 4>of me, but it was an overwhelming difference.

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>But it sure feels that way to me. I don't.

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I most people I'm family members, close friends,

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>or their politics are similar to me, and I don't

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>hear them saying things like I would never date of this,

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>or I would you know that person should be shot

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>or in this. But I hear that a lefty people

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that I know right all the time.

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Leftist politics tend to be much more emotional and emotionalistic,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 4>meaning they're based on emotion as opposed to fact or

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.480
<v Speaker 4>like a sober analysis of what policies work better.

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember that poin.

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 4>You combine that with the longtime narrative that Republicans aren't wrong,

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 4>they're evil, they're fascists, they want to oppress you, they

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 4>want to kill you if you're transgender. I mean, if

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.640
<v Speaker 4>you get people overly emotional people or mentally disturbed people

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 4>to believe that they will commit acts of violence, believe

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 4>they're one hundred percent justified.

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>We should try to dig that pullback up again. I

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of remember it. But man, I just I've bumped

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>into that sort of thing recently a number of times

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and just seems like you're way overreacting to the fact

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>that you don't agree politically with my side.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 4>The other side, right, Well, it always shocks me, well,

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 4>it used to shock me as a fairly cynical longtime

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 4>observer of political language, that there are people who believe

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 4>their sides propaganda or messaging, whatever you want to call it.

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they fully believe it. They think it's one

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 4>hundred percent sincere and accurate. I even hear people I

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 4>agree with going over the top, and I think you know,

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 4>same holds, amil. I separate the part that's true from

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 4>the part that's just meant to fire people up and

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 4>get their donations and stuff. But there are a lot

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 4>of people on the left who believe every word they

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 4>actually believe.

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Conservatives who for instance.

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 4>Don't want a boy in a girl's locker room, that

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 4>they want to kill transgender people because they've heard it

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 4>over and over again.

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So today is a fifteen year anniversary of one

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of the most mocked things that has happened in sports,

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James big prime time television announcement of he was

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>living his team and going to a different team, but

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.399
<v Speaker 1>he made a last night, said he had another giant

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 1>announcement to make today and it just came out, and uh, well,

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you what it was. Mary Taylor Swift.

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're a Lakers, got a new sports drink that

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>would be pretty huge. I'm marrying Taylor's Swift.

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 4>We met, we hit it off, we realized we were

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 4>both with the wrong person.

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>We're getting married. Wait, I assume Travis Kelsey would have

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>something to say about that.

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh, he's heartbreak broken obviously.

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we'll do that briefly and other things when we

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>come back.

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 8>Those two trained Hawks, Alice and Bubba, were stolen outside

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 8>so Far Stadium during a Rams game last weekend. They

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 8>fly above NFL games to keep other birds away. Well,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 8>neither falcon or tells us Bubba was recovered about thirty

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 8>miles away. He says he's hopeful they'll find Alice soon.

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So Sofi Stadium has trained hawks to keep other birds

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>away during Chargers and Rams games.

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 4>Because of the poop and because of the poopin because

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 4>of the poopen.

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that a problem that people have? Do they get

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to I was gonna use the past tense word for

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>but do they get to dropped upon by birds at

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>football games?

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm not really familiar with it as an issue, but yeah,

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 4>that's that's the problem. Does every so many buildings have

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 4>the pigeon spikes and you know whatever?

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Does every stadium have trained hawks to keep birds away?

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 1>This is all new to me. I don't know. It

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>depends on the shape of it.

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 4>I think the problem with some of the new like

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 4>semi domes, is that the birds would be over the

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 4>field or over the fans. You like, got an old

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 4>timey football stadium. No, it's just it's kind of a

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 4>rectangle and the birds would sit and just you know.

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank god, Bubba the hawk is all right, and thank

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 1>god you're all right. Even though you haven't gotten the

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 1>most recent COVID shot. I know you're all thinking about

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the COVID vaccine. Is it time for my next shot?

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Where can I get it? A topic of conversation with

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>me and all my friends constantly. This is the way

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>David Muir approached it on the ABC Evening News last night.

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 9>A confusion over getting a COVID shot this year. The

0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 9>CDC is now urging what they're calling quote individual based

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 9>decision making, pushing people to consult with their doctor or

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 9>pharmacists before getting the vaccine. The CDC also saying for

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 9>those who want the shot, saying the strongest risk benefit

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 9>in their words, for people at high risk for severe

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 9>COVID includes those over sixty five. Most insurance still covers

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 9>the cost of COVID shots.

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, anybody who's been paying attention has known that since

0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 4>like late twenty twenty.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, and play the beginning part there again.

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 9>Fusion over getting a COVID shot this year the sea.

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 4>And keep going only good among you people, still you cultists,

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 4>still wearing masks?

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Good again, because I want that second line too.

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 9>Confusion over getting a COVID shot this year. The CDC

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 9>is now urging what they're calling quote individual based decision making.

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>That's the post. That's what I like, That's what I like.

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 4>We've gotten away from I just for all of us

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 4>who are just strictly following the CDC guidelines no matter what,

0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 4>and the CDC was still saying we should get Now

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 4>we're doing whatever it's called individual base You mean making

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 4>up my own mind based on my own information and

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:35.240
<v Speaker 4>what I think is a good idea.

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why I've been doing it the whole time.

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I do what the government tells me. I just always

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>do it they tell me. Now they're asking me to

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>make decisions as an individual. I feel abandon anybody who's

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>so into the government being in charge that thinks that

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>they should the government should make an announcement. We're now

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>in favor of what we call individual based decision making.

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm in favor of that all day, every day.

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>My whole freaking line. Yeah, no kidding, individual based decision making.

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I will make my decisions what I think is a

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>good idea or not. You don't need to tell me.

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.640
<v Speaker 4>I would end a friendship over a mask wearing COVID cultist.

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, it's it's triple.

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 4>It was triple the number of Democrats than Republicans who

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 4>have ended a friendship over politics, and among younger lefties

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 4>it's shocking numbers, like a third of them say they

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 4>would not want to be friends with someone who voted

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 4>for a different presidential candidate. That COVID thing, I mean

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 4>to me, you're a way to vote until you're twenty five.

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm firmly I will march on that cause on the

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 4>David Muir COVID thing.

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You're a certain sort of person that could ever even

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>utter the phrased individual based decision trees or whatever it is. Yeah, yeah,

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you mean.

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 4>The way I'm teaching my kids to live their lives,

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 4>take in information and make your own decisions.

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the way I think. What are you even talking.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 9>About individual based decision making?

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 10>I would much rather just get in a pen, be fed,

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 10>be sheared every so often to exactly what the government

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 10>tells me to do, or they're pe Making my own

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 10>decisions is so confusing, tell me what to do, Joe Biden, Right, Kamala,

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 10>you hero the first thing he said, they're all the confusion.

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Who is confused? I mean, who's confusing? Are there people

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:26.959
<v Speaker 1>to get up in the morning and log on the

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>CDC website to see what they're recommending for me? Well,

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't seem like I ought to get another COVID vaccine,

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>But the government website says I should. But now I'm

0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>moving into individual based decision making, to where you can

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>decide on your own. Oh that's fantastic. What about sawing

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>off that's right? What about sawing off my ear with

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a steak knife. There's no guidance on that either. I

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to do, honey, guidance. I was all

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>these individual based decisions. They're killing me for some reason.

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just offended by that very phrase last night,

0:33:57.840 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>when I based decision making.

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 4>I think that's what the Trump administration is calling it.

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 4>They're encouraging people to decide as individuals if it's important

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.719
<v Speaker 4>and right for you. And yes, you're most at risk

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 4>if you're old or otherwise ill. Everybody has known that

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 4>since twenty twenty, David. Everyone, unless you are a robot

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.360
<v Speaker 4>just sucking in left wing news and you're still wearing

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 4>a mask alone in a park because you're nuts.

0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so different topic. If you're a sports fan, you

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 1>knew this fifteen years ago. Today, Lebron James made this

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 1>big thing about he was gonna He started with the

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Cavalaries. He grew up in that town. He was

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 1>playing for his hometown team and then he was gonna

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>leave somewhere else and he made this big primetime special announcement.

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Then they made a big hilarious and it got mocked endlessly,

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and it should have. It was just ridiculous. It was

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 1>so look at me, I'm the focus of everybody's attention,

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 1>just as It's just it was the most off putting thing.

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 4>One of the most self congratulatory acts I have ever

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 4>witnessed in any realm sports, politics, yeah, medicine, anything.

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It really was. Yeah, it was such a bad look. Anyway,

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a fifteen year anniversary. In last night he said,

0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got it the second decision to make the next

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:21.319
<v Speaker 1>big announcement, And there was a lot of speculation because

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he is forty, in his forties and is in his

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>last year's contract that he announced is going to retire,

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and of course that would also be kind of a pathetic. Hey, everybody,

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>look at me. This needs to be a giant show

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:33.880
<v Speaker 1>with everybody staring at me, with the spotlight on me

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. AnyWho, his announcement apparently that's coming in like

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 1>three minutes, is he's teaming up with Hennessy for some

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:45.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of limited What is Hennessy a drink. It's a liquor,

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a booze. It's gonna be a liqueur. There's gonna be

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:54.359
<v Speaker 1>a Lebron James branded Hennessy God's sake. Yeah, it's hard

0:35:54.360 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to take you seriously, dude. Anyway, I know it's suck

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the wild alone. I think that's the way it's going

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to be met. I don't think he knows that that's

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the way it's going to be met, but that's the

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:07.919
<v Speaker 1>way it's going to be met.

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:10.879
<v Speaker 4>Hey, mainstream media, the guy who went to kill Bret

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 4>Kavanaugh is a dude. He is a man. We'll talk

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 4>about that next hour. If you don't get next hour,

0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 4>oh no, you can just subscribe to our podcast, Armstrong

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 4>and Getty on demand.

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Everything's okay against Armstrong and Getty.
