WEBVTT - Idiot Says What?! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.480 Armstrong and Katie and now he. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:26.079 Armstrong and Eddy. I'm not happy with President Putin at all. 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.600 But this is something that would have never happened. I 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.760 met with President. This is a war that was never 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:37.120 going to happen. Send more weapons to Ukraine. We're going 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.440 to send some more weapons. We have to. They have 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.400 to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.600 Now that's Donald Trump saying he is very unhappy with 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.720 Vladimir Putin and what he is doing, killing so many people. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.080 We are going to send weapons to Ukraine so they 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.120 can defend themselves. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.720 And workers did took you this long for him to 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.280 wake up to the obvious, which is that Putin is 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.520 bent on conquest? 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.760 But here we are. Yeah, and I don't know where 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.119 this goes. And then politically, I don't know where this goes. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.200 Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, popular Republican in 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.360 very maga in recent years, tweeted this out yesterday. I 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.199 think he's trying to push Trump in a certain direction. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.720 Putin is making it very clear that any truce in 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.520 Ukraine will come only when he is defeated. We talk, 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.479 he kills Ukrainians, we talk some more, he kills more Ukrainians. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.240 He has openly said he wants to destroy Ukraine and 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.520 it is his war aim. A combined Ukrainian US European 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.600 effort will be needed to defeat him badly enough that 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.040 he wants to cease fire. Until then, he will keep 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.200 lying and keep killing. We don't need a single American 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.119 military person fighting in Ukraine. We do need to provide 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.280 advanced weapons and quantity permission to hit against military targets 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.560 in Russia, and vastly expand sanctions against Russia. Only then 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.640 will a ceasefire be possible. I one percent agree with 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.320 what Newt said there. Trump just talked about defensive weapons, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:07.080 not offensive weapons. It's possible he's just not announcing offensive weapons. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.400 I mean, you don't need to when you're at war. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.400 Let the other side know what you're doing. 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.680 Well, there's again, there's no real distinction in warfare between 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.480 defensive and offensive weapons. I mean, that's that's an artificial 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.840 you know, bracketing. I think you defend yourself by winning 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.440 by pushing your backward. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.160 I see what you mean, the best defense is a 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.440 good offense or whatever. Yeah, but you know, it was 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.839 until recently that anybody allowed them to shoot, however, many 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.520 miles across the border. Then that guy in Germany said, yeah, 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.840 it's all all on now they can shoot anywhere they 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.880 want in Russia, and the US is on board too, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.600 And Trump was asked and said sure. So that's where 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.560 we are, an ugly, ugly situation. So just wanted to 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.560 get that on because I thought that was to me 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.280 a welcome reversal of where Trump is dealing with all this. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:08.800 Of course, you've got your Secretary of State, who is 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.160 Marco Rubio. Of course, how do you know if you're 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.040 talking to Marco Rubio? It may be a I. A 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.400 Marco Rubio impost is using AI voice to call high 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:23.359 level officials listen to this. So this person contacted foreign ministers, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.960 a US governor, and a member of Congress, sending them 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.240 voice and text messages that mimic Rubio's voice and writing 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.200 style using artificial intelligence powered software. According to senior US 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.240 officials in the State Department, US authorities do not know 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.080 who's behind the string of impersonation attempts, but they believe 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.320 the culprit was probably attempting to manipulate powerful government officials 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.880 with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:54.680 Is what they're trying to do, as opposed to change policy. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.600 You know, I don't know enough about that. What you know, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.520 secret lines they've got between Marco Rubio and various foreign 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:03.360 ministers or whatever? 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.960 What sort of accounts, mister Governor, this is Marco Rubio, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.800 the Secretary of State. Can I have your pin number? 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.200 I'm here in d C and I forgot my wallet, 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.679 so I just need a few bugs. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.680 I like, Bay, you're right back. 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:18.120 I mean, what. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.600 Accounts do I have that I would give them? Marco Rubio? 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.039 Oh yeah, I don't know about that, but I mean 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.520 if if if you let Marco Rubio into various I'm 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.760 about to read a little of that messaging systems you 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.560 could get chats. Yeah, using both text messaging and the 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:42.520 encrypted messaging message in app signal, which we all learned 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.839 about during that scandal. The impostor contacted at least five 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.680 non department individuals, including three foreign ministers. Governor Member of 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.679 Congress said the cable. The impersonation campaign began mid June, 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.800 so this has been going on for a couple of weeks. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.600 The actor left voicemails on signal or at least two 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.839 targeted individuals, and in one instance send a text message 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.719 inviting the individual to communicate on signal and then you 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.880 guess you'd have a way to get in at that point, well, or. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.240 You would send out the invite in essence, they would 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.120 join us a chat you've established, and then you could 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.240 pump them for information. 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:30.400 This is the first of endless examples of this happening. Yes, yeah, 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.440 this is the new world we are entering into. I 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.360 don't know how in the hell I had to the 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.080 other day. I think one of those scams where you 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.760 get a phone call and all they want from you 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.760 is to talk as much as possible, right to be 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.240 able to get your voice, because it was because the 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.400 warnings we've set on the air that they claim is 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.719 out there is when you get a call from a 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.200 no number and there's just silence, don't start talking because 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.880 they're just trying to record your voice so they can 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.400 have your AI voice so that they can then you know, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.320 contact my parents, for instance, and say, hey, it's Jack, 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.440 I'm in a Mexican jail. I need five hundred bucks 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.520 or something, and my dad's dad. I'd say again, exactly, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.400 I'm gonna leave you there this time, maybe you'll learn. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.480 But I had one the other day where UH called 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.920 and then nothing and I said, uh, hello, and then 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.720 they they kept saying in like you could almost understand them, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.719 but not quite to make me say what are you 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.080 talking about? What is this? And they'd say a little something, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.680 and then I would talk more, not tho. I think 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.719 you're just fishing for as much my voice as you 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:46.400 can get. Idiot says what. Yeah, wait a second, you 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.160 just made me say what That makes me an idiot? Curses. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.320 Yeah, we are going to have to develop systems, whether 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.719 you know, formal or informal, to deal with this because, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.000 like you say, it's gonna be everywhere all the time, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.200 and the grandparents rip it off brand that's already started. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.240 You know, you call with your grandparents, your grandkid's voice 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.880 saying I got arrested, Grandma, I just need two hundred dollars. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.960 Well you don't even have to be a grandparent.

Sorry, you asked me not to mention that. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.360 It's just like that. It's like having a safe word 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.000 in the S and M dungeons. Yes again, dungeon asked 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.320 me to keep that to myself.

I mean, you know, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.040 it is those of you who get enjoyment out of 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.600 being hit with things? What is that? I don't know. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.400 I don't know actually on that topic, it was. It 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:29.680 was a bittersweet morning today. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.800 I had my last piece of peanut butter toast in 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.120 our kitchen before it is ripped out. We're gonna empty 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.240 it out today. It's going to be ripped out tomorrow morning. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:45.080 And and because apparently it needed to be redone at 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.920 enormous expense and trouble because there was something wrong with 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:48.839 it according. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.240 To my wife. So anyway, happy to be doing that. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.680 I'm the last persona that can understand what that means. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.240 And I realized I'm definitely an out liar on that, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.160 but I just yeah, So did you think about all 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.280 the fantastic take unnecessary calories you had taken in in 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:03.840 that kitchen? 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:09.440 Oh? Yeah, yeah, I remember that license pie on that counter. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.760 Especially, I had more pilot that was already full, but 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:13.640 I thought why not. 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.520 We are delighted to have my twenty five year old 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.400 daughter living with us this summer, as she has an 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.760 internship with a law firm nearby. But living with a 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:28.160 twenty five year old and their metabolism and they're lust 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.600 for various treats. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.120 It's bad. My kids have started policing me. They're better 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.720 than me, and I've had to find other things to 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.600 do because they kind of a go to was, Hey, 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.800 let's go get up, you know, a milkshake or stop 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.079 buying or something just you know, kind of a I 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.000 don't know something to do with the kids because I 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:48.800 used to love it when they're a little little lift 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.920 And now if I say it's they're both no way, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.720 I'm not.

I 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:40.160 don't know why, it's an interesting phrase. Okay, we got 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.120 more comments there. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.120 Oh, this heavy rock rift reminds me of oh, we 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.400 don't have time for that to weah, maybe not.

Anyway, more on that to come first. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.040 This though Representative Brandon Gill of Texas, who's impressed me 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:12.320 several times. He is an emerging star in taking a 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.440 woke witness in a house hearing and and you know, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.160 displaying them for what they are. In this case, it 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:24.760 was the House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee, which was the hearing. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.640 Title was locking in DOGE cuts, ending waste, fraud and 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:32.480 abuse for Good and one of the witnesses was Emily DeVito, 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.760 Senior advisor for economic policy at Groundwork Collaborative, who testified 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.480 on behalf of Democrats about how harmful reductions in federal 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.440 spending are for the American people. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.920 And Gil had some questions for her. We'll start with 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.199 the clip number one, Michael. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:55.480 How about another one? How about the Conference Gender equity 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.680 in the mathematical study of commutative algebra. You think that 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.680 that's a valid form of government spending. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.600 I think mathematical research of all types is deserving of government. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.320 What about studying and this is directly from the National 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.840 Science Foundation's website, Women and non binary mathematicians? 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:13.360 Wow? 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.240 Again, I think all kinds of government investment should be 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.280 dedicated toward mathematic. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.040 All kinds of government investment. You don't. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.800 You don't have any kind of limit on what we're 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.640 spending our money on just everything? 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.640 Is that your testimony? 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.880 I am talking about Doge you brought. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.520 Up, so am I this is a grant that Doese cut. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.080 I am not familiar with this particular grant, but I 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.439 think government investment in mathematical Biopatrick. 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.679 Wow, Yeah, so I recognize it. I didn't recognize his name, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.640 but his voice from the previous times we've done it. 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:45.800 But that's awesome. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.240 All right, Let's roll on, Michael, Let's do another one. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:55.600 This one is called hashtag Transcendent Health, adapting an lg 0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:02.160 B plus inclusive team pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.640 I can't even say this without laughing. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.480 Do you think that that is a useful form of 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:11.360 our tax spend. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.440 I am not familiar with that grant, but I think 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.200 bench research, government investment in scientific. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:23.600 And farming pregnancy for transgender boys. Do you think that 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.200 that is a useful spend of our tax dollars. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.360 I think government investment in all kinds of scientific research 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.000 is of the utmost important. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.320 Including pregnancy prevention for transgender boys. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:43.599 Okay, these these people, in their lack of willingness to 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.360 budge at all on something that's so ridiculous, And there 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.880 wouldn't be one percent of America that wants to fund that. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.120 Maybe one, but it wouldn't be more than five. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:02.280 Right, the absurdity of the idea of pregnancy prevention for 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.640 quote unquote transgender boys. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.400 If that human can get pregnant, that ain't no boy. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.160 And she got to take it beyond that though, And 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.000 it's the federal government's role, the taxpayer's job, to fund 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.360 research about it. Not your county, not your school, not 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.080 your state. No, it's not the university on its own 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.480 right around the country, plenty of university woke universities. Go 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.920 ahead and studied all you want, But I put my 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.120 tax money into it. And there's more to this. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.120 We're gonna dig up more from the hearing for maybe 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:39.040 tomorrow's show. But she gil asked her, what is a 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:47.560 birthing person? That is outside my expertise, she said, and 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.480 he says, is a birthing person a woman? 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.360 Is that another word for a female? 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.360 Just like Catangie Brown Jackson And one of the most 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.160 absurd and humiliating and ridiculous moments in Supreme Court history 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.040 in her confirmation hearing saying I'm not a biologist. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.720 I don't know that. And by the way, for any 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.640 of you who say, well, that's a tiny amount of money, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.480 I want you to hit hit by a car today. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.680 Oh that's what I want. You're a monster. Because it's 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.720 not just the money. It's the pushing back on the 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.040 government spending money on well things they shouldn't spend money 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.520 on at all, because it's not the federal government's role 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.200 not to mention the nonsense of the wokeness that somebody 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.040 slipped in there. When did that stuff end up in 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.200 the budget? Good lord? Well, when you have whatever passed 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.360 this past Thursday or Friday, the big beautiful bill, I 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.720 guarantee you there's all kinds of stuff in there. I 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.280 wouldn't be woke stuff, and it'll be different stuff that's 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.240 ridiculous that somebody slipped in because it's so giant. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.200 Well, and some of it is borderline woke, because you've 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.800 got these Republicans in swing districts who say, hey, I 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.680 got to throw a bone to the left in my 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.120 district or you know, I could lose this election, and 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.400 you know, the Republican Party for you know, all due 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.120 contempt for the lack of principle, there is something to 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.400 be said for, hey, we've got to keep a majority 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.400 to keep doing the good stuff. So if a Representative 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:14.400 Jones has got to keep a phony effing green energy 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.440 giveaway going, we better give it to them. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.400 I wish somebody would do a documentary where they follow 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.520 all these things to their conclusion. I have a feeling 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.160 I know what the end result would be. But so 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.720 even the grant that went to the study of non 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.720 binary mathematicians or whatever, I'd like to see who got 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:37.000 that money, how they spent it, and what the results were. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.760 I mean, God, did it do anything other than like 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.760 buy new furniture for somebody's office and did anybody pay 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:43.760 any attention at all? 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.920 Subtitle of that report was pat does calculus. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:55.520 Very informative. That's hilarious. That's what that is. If you 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.800 missed a segment or an hour. Get the podcast. Seriously, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.920 Is anybody paying any attention to where that particular chunk 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.280 of money went and what it did? 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.560 No, No, they aren't. The handing out of the money 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:09.560 is the point. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.600 Yeah, exactly, arm Strong and Getty. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.560 We get a lot of vote thrown at us by 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.040 Putin for you one another truth, very nice all the time, 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.879 but it turns out to be meaningless. 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.040 Do you want to say that. 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:30.240 I'm looking at it. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.560 Yeah, No, I'm looking to the Senator is passing and passed 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.080 a very very tough sanctions. But yeah, I'm looking at it. 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.879 It's an optional bill. It's totally at my option. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.280 They passed it totally at my option, and to terminate 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.359 totally at my option. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.879 And I'm looking at it very strongly. So there's Trump 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.760 one doing another, yet another press conference where he answers questions. 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.800 He gets no credit for the fact that he answers 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.080 like everybody's questions every day. But that's the strongest anti 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.040 Putin statement he's ever made. Yes, you get a lot 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.600 of bullets from Putiny, says all kinds of things. But 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:10.520 it's all bulllest so you know, welcome to understanding that. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.720 But yeah, I had to hope that it would have 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.399 happened earlier. Well it's obvious. But anyway, I don't think he's, 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.840 you know, a simpleton that didn't understand that. I just 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:30.040 thought he thought that he could convince Putin to go 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.520 a different direction. But yeah, I don't think Trump understands 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:38.640 ideological fervor. He doesn't understand because he's you know, transactional 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.240 or practical, if you prefer. 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:40.600 To a fault. 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:46.560 He doesn't get Muslim you know, fundamentalism. He doesn't get 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.400 Putin's dreams of restoring the grandeur of the Russian Empire 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.200 or hiesiin Pings for that matter. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.040 I feel like I've known business people that are kind 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:55.720 of like that. They just don't don't understand it, Like, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.280 why would you do that that doesn't make you more 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:03.439 money on anything? So that's pretty interesting. We do have 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.800 a celebrity death to mention. Polly Walnuts from The Sopranos 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.080 has died at the age of old. I don't know 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:14.160 how old he was, with seventy nine, okay, ad dementia. 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.439 Did he ever find the Russian in the woods is 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.080 the question? Or did Jell we hear from the great 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.400 Tony Currico what's his name? 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:33.919 Yes, sure, it's all laughing. He had a lot of 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.840 great lines in the sopranos. 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.720 Yes he did, and we'll work to get those for 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.440 tomorrow's show. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.320 Only Walnuts has passed. Anyway. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.639 He was an actor, so it was a great role, 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.640 fabulous role. I thought this was interesting. Andrea Peterson wrote 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.840 this for the Wall Street Journal about she's got on 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.640 this program and I'm not even aware of the stuff 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.960 until I read about it. But everybody's obsession with obsession 0:19:59.000 --> 0:19:59.920 with gut health, I. 0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:01.120 Was kind of familiar with. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.439 I'm actually interested in the science behind it, the idea 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.960 that we human beings are not an organism, We're actually 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:13.760 an ecosystem with millions of organisms living within us. It's 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.480 actually kind of interesting and aspiring after you get past 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.800 like an initial bit of ooginess. But everybody wants to 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:26.119 have healthy intestinal systems, and that includes having the gut 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.879 biome be in good shape. But so Andrew Peterson's writing 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.080 about this, and I wasn't familiar with some of this stuff. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:35.880 They have these. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:41.560 Companies that you do all sorts of testing and logging 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.320 and reporting of what you're eating, and then it gives 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.360 you feedback on what you ought to be eating and how. 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.920 She writes she'd failed the test. She got a rating 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.879 of poor, and she was really disappointed on that. The 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.199 whole week crackers I thought were healthy, Maybe not so 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.479 much for me, A breakfast of fruit and all up 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.600 pretty middling. Zoey the service I used? All right, wait 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:05.920 a minute, I got to stop there. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:07.760 I'm sorry. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.879 I find it so annoying that this gut health testing 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.919 counseling service just gives itself a friendly, approachable girl's name, Zoe. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:24.400 What the F do you do? Where's Zoe? Seriously? 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.080 If you're so weak minded that make that makes you 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.280 more likely to give them your hard earned money, well 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.680 you deserve to be parted from it. 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:33.119 I don't know. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.959 I find that so annoying, but I do. Why Zoey? 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.960 Why not Caitlin or Jenna or whatever else? Did it 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:40.920 just test better? 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:46.640 Anyway? Stupid things that set you off For Alarious. 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.040 It's among a growing number of companies that offer medical 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.199 tests to people and provide them diet recommendations based on 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:56.920 the results. Many scientists believe diet guidance tailored to an 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.240 individual's biology will soon become Wow. 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.560 I wonder if that's bs or if that's true. Do 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:08.840 we we're humans? Do we all need the same diet 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.720 or do we all have an individual diet we should eat. 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.119 There's a big national Institutes of Health study testing that 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.960 approach right now, the the NIH. Do you remember the NIH? 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.040 They had a standing six feet apart and wouldn't let 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:26.960 the kids play in playgrounds. That doesn't mean they're necessarily 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:32.320 wrong on this stuff, let's see. So anyway, she goes 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.159 into how she was perplexed and bummed out at her 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:36.800 her test. 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:38.720 Uh. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.679
