I would rather have a close Philadelphia win 19 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: than a Kansas City blowout. I don't like blowouts. I 20 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: find blogs aring and uh yeah, so I was cleaning 21 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: my room the entire second half. I didn't see how 22 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: they scored twenty two points somehow was as clearly matter 23 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: wasn't as close as the score indicates, as they say, 24 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: as they often say, yeah, but yeah, that's disappointing. Well, 25 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: we had, you know, many years in a row of 26 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: very close super Bowls like came down to the last play. 27 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's more than you can really expect to 28 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: have over and over again. Yeah, Cups was running over. 29 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: It was fantastic. 30 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, could this usher in a new era of super bores? 31 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: Much like the nineties? Is that a thing? Did these 32 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: things come in waves that you couldn't usher it in? 33 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: This is footstock. 34 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to make a damn look of sense. 35 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: What do you think, Gronk? 36 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: Seriously enough, Gronk, I'm amazed at how people get hot 37 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: and then every company out there thinks we need to 38 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: throw how how much money we need to throw at 39 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: Gronk to get him an hour ad? Or do they 40 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: not know that? Maybe I'd ask Gronk just before we 41 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: signed the paper and we have you in the ad? 42 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Are you doing like fifty other commercials that are gonna 43 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: make people roll their eyes?

My favorite thing of 48 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: the whole everything, if you saw it, was what the 49 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: hell was that like five minute Brad pit thing. I 50 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: couldn't figure out, what are you asking me to do? 51 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: What are you telling am I supposed to cry? Am 52 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: I supposed to stand up in salute? Am I supposed 53 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: to be excited about football or the country or kids. 54 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know what we're doing here? Are you 55 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: selling me something? Do I need to go onto a 56 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: website and donate money? I had no idea what's going 57 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: on there? Yeah? 58 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: I missed the audio on that when I was at 59 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: a party, so I was just looking at it mystified. 60 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: You know, Brad Pitts one of the biggest stars in 61 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the world, and they gave it super prime placement right 62 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: before the game starts, and it was mystifying as to 63 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: what it was, like, what what is the message here? 64 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: Did you see that? Michael? Yeah? And it brought back 65 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: memories of my dad. He used to scream at the TV. 66 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: Damn it, it's just a football game, and it just 67 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 3: started getting mad. 68 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: That is a good thing to say. That is a 69 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: perfect thing to say. Quick trying to pull my like 70 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: heartstrings around patriotism and hurt children and all these different 71 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: equality in the world and all these different things. Damn it, 72 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: it's just a football game. 73 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: I would like to see it more seriously, at least 74 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: slightly more seriously. 75 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Just a pole. 76 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: I guess of Americans, how many people are like touched 77 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: and moved that they trotted out or brought out the 78 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: families of the victims of the would be jihadi who 79 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: ran a bunch of people over because it's in the 80 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: same set is there's some sort of sin being committed 81 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: by going ahead with life, and there was a rather 82 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: important football game schedule, so we're going to go ahead 83 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: and have the football game. But you've got to, like Genufleck, 84 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: to the idea of this is like weirdly inappropriate because 85 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: there was just death here. 86 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't have to, by the way, I don't think 87 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: you do. Entertainment executives make all, as we know, make 88 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: all kinds of stupid, stupid decisions. Yeah, and whoever got 89 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: together in a room and decided. They probably decided it 90 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: right after the ISIS attack, when it was like super fresh, 91 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: and now we hear we are month and a half 92 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: later or whatever it is where it's like, oh, yeah, 93 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: that's right, that happened, as opposed to I don't know 94 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: if I can watch the super Bowl in New Orleans 95 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: after what happened the other day. Now, who was feeling 96 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: that way? And lama is another one of my tweets. 97 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: As Lady Gaga was singing her song and people were 98 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: waving her hands. Okay, I guess we're all unified. We're 99 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: anti ISIS. 100 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: Let's get to kickoff, noted anti Ghatty activist Lady Gaga. 101 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Ah, I don't. I don't know. 102 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: There is clearly a certain sort of person for whom 103 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: that sort of gesture is appreciated. 104 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't believe. 105 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: Yes, I don't believe I feel better now that Lady 106 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: Gaga sang an emotional song. 107 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I think if the entire Super 108 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: Bowl had completely ignored the horrifying shooting or I guess 109 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: car ramming there in New Orleans, I don't I don't 110 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: think I would have noticed. I don't think anybody would 111 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: have minded. 112 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: But it wouldn't have popped into my mind. No, absolutely, 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: I was acutely aware of the event and who was 114 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: involved in New Orleans' failures and putting up the ballards 115 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: and the rest of it a chapter and verse. I 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: followed the news, but no, I wouldn't have thought of it. 117 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: I need football. I need Tom Brady in a T 118 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: shirt walking between the firefighters and the cops talking about 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: pulling together and something or other and how and you know, 120 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: it's a stretch anyway, We're all getting together to get 121 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: drunk and get fat and watch a football game to 122 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: try to success. By the way, to try to turn 123 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: it in. I think this was Brad Pitt's message, to 124 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: try to turn it into some sort of this is 125 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: who we are as Americans. I think it's a real stretch. Well, 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: try to make more important than just it's a football game. 127 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: It's way to kill an afternoon, and to further torture it. 128 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: Because we were paying loving tribute to the death in 129 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: New Orleans, it seemed insensitive not to pay a tribute 130 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: to the death and destruction in California. So Tom Brady 131 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: was it was was wearing an LA Fire Department. 132 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: T shirt just as kind of a token representation of 133 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Oh in California too, because somebody in the meeting threw up. 134 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: But what about California? That's right, we need to resonate 135 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: with California. Also, Yeah, at least three people wearing T shirts. Now, 136 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: three seems like a lot because the game's in New Orleans. 137 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: How about one? Would one be good? Okay again, if 138 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: you know what that Brad Pitt thing was, it seemed 139 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: like the length of a motion picture. Please text four 140 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: one KFTC. I still don't Oh crap, the Eagles just 141 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: scored again. Jeez, it's to twenty four. Let's start the 142 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: show officially. I'm Jack Armshaw. I hain't a lot of 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: your cheese dip yesterday, Michael to come out. It was 144 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: damn good, good, it was damn good. I wish I 145 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: had to put more cheese on top because I like 146 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: that part. But it was really really good. But after 147 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: you get I don't know, a pound into it, yeah, 148 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: you start to regret your decisions. Yep, that's what I noticed. 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: I don't have any leftovers because when I set fire 150 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: to my kitchen to celebrate the Eagles, when I accidentally 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: torched it, so I might name it Michelangelo's Regretful Cheese Dip, 152 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: because after you eat a whole bunch of it, you 153 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: will regret that you had ever started. 154 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: I went to the grocery store and spent money and 155 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: time to do this. I feel awful. What was the 156 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: point here? What was I trying to a couple hole? 157 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: It's not a very good endorsement. Well, it might have 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: to do with the quantity you have to eat as 159 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: much as I. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 160 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: It is Monday, February tenth, year, twenty twenty five.

Hey, at the end. 172 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: There, though we were talking about this in the pregame show, 173 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: he was just playing random notes that was not groovy 174 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: piano riff. 175 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 1: And that was a guy that's like, yeah, whatever, I 176 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: didn't notice the piano I was singing about that. Did 177 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: you have a clock on? And at how do they 178 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: make sure the anthem singer doesn't do some insider trading 179 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: or whatever it is if you're involved in betting, Because 180 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: it was one hundred and twenty seconds. He over under 181 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: on the beat and you can actually bet money on that. 182 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: And he could have said the Home of the Brave. 183 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: He could have had home with a brave, brave, but 184 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: he went home with a brave, brave, brave right, And 185 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: it got him to one hundred and twenty seconds. And 186 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: I just wonder, how would you How would you not 187 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: have an uncle who puts a thousand dollars on it someplace? 188 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: It had the feel of a team going for two 189 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: when they didn't need to, And. 190 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: I was said, why would they do that? Well? The 191 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: spread was what right? Did you know? My favorite headline 192 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: of the day. What we woke up to today? The 193 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: end of the penny? Donald Trump tweeting out last night, 194 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: no more pennies. We spend two cents on a penny. 195 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: It's stupid. We're gonna stop, he announced, He ordered the treasurer. 196 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Why did this not happen before? Why is he only 197 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: a person that can say the capital is of Israel 198 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: is Jerusalem. We all know it, right, let's just move 199 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: it over there. USA. 200 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: It is a fraud the department, it's a fraud factory. 201 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: We got to get rid of it. But can he 202 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: defeat the humble penny, the pennies? Just can he order 203 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: the Treasury Department to do that? Well, we're well read 204 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: at the nickel must go. And let's talk about the dime. 205 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: A quarter is enough of a denomination, all right, we're 206 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a rich country. We're not. 207 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: You know, we don't make four thousand dollars a year 208 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: per capity here? 209 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: Yes, wegel. 210 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: Does this mean that pennies will become collectible items and 211 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: that will be worth a lot? 212 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: My son and I were actually talking about that last night. 213 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: What does that mean for the penny? Does it wonder 214 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: what happens to it? Because there are gazillions of pennies 215 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: in circulation. 216 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 2: Well, oddly enough, now that it's no longer currency and 217 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: is merely the constituent parts, it's worth more. Although you know, 218 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: none of us has the ability to smelt it down 219 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: to whatever, so you know there's going to be a 220 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: discount on it, but you'll probably get like one point 221 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: two cents for every penny's. 222 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Most of us on the show aren't tweakers. We're not 223 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: that fascinated by copper just in general. But all your 224 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: tweaker friends would love to have your pennies probably, hey, 225 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: tweak your friends, plenty of them. And what was the 226 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: other thing? Oh, so he announced on Brett Bear's interview 227 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: yesterday that he said, starting in twenty four hours, Elon's 228 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: going to turn his Elon whose name I now hear 229 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: more than Trump's, that Elon's going to turn elected dictator 230 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: by the way, a world Church's man. Yeah, which obviously 231 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: you don't allow dark. You don't need to explain why 232 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: that's evil. It's just obviously evil. The fact that he's 233 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: rich and trying to government clearly evil. He announced that 234 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: Trump announced yesterday during Brettbear's interview and will play some 235 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: of it later from the super Bowl. That within twenty 236 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: four hours, so that'd be today, Elon's going to turn 237 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: his attention toward the Department of Education. And I'm all 238 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: about that. I want to hear all kinds of great 239 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: stats coming out on that. How does mail bag look? Oh, 240 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: it's good. 241 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 2: We'll get to that a little later on in the hour, 242 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: I think, right, we are we going to oh take 243 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: come to schedule. 244 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: That's right, We're going to do things differently. Now. Yeah, 245 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna see how this works. It could be a disaster. 246 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean it could be like the Kansas City Chiefs 247 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: offensive line. Nothing could be that bad. Not really. No 248 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: lots on the way, you stay here, armstrong and getty. 249 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: What's driving this? 250 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: I will keep it simple, Margaret. 251 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: He is doing, in the eyes of the public, what 252 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 4: he said he would do in the campaign. 253 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: There's political value in that. 254 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 4: In fact, seventy percent of people say he's doing what 255 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 4: he promised. 256 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 3: That's whether they approve of him or not. 257 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: Now there's another part of this that continues over from 258 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: the campaign. 259 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: There were words that he was described as. 260 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 4: Being tough, being energetic, and he still is today in 261 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: big majority numbers. So as people take a look in 262 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: these first few weeks, there's been a lot of activity, 263 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 4: they're getting that general sense of governance and that's being 264 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 4: reflected in these early numbers. 265 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: So this is the most recent big poll to come 266 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: out since Trump has been in office, and while it 267 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: seems like he's been in office for a year and 268 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: a half, it's been He's inaugurate on the twentieth. We're not. 269 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: We're ten days away from the one month then mark. 270 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: How is that even possible? I know we're ten world ways, 271 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: we're a week and a half from the one month mark. 272 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: It's incredible. I was remer it's well go ahead. 273 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, it's a symptom of a lot 274 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: of different things, including the incredible power and flexibility of 275 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: the presidency. They have it within their grasp to just 276 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: redesign two thirds of the policies of the United States. 277 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: Government, which is not a great deal. But before before 278 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: I get back to the polling, which is really good 279 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: for Trump, I was reminded yesterday that FDR, when he 280 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: took office, he had one day where he had one 281 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: hundred executive orders in a day, seven hundred for his 282 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: first year. So it's not like nobody's ever done this before, 283 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: your hero lefties. FDR was really into the president gets 284 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: to do whatever the hell he wants. So anyway, Trump's 285 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: overall approval rating with CBS after all this stuff in 286 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: the world went, it's a disaster, and oh my god, 287 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: it's funny. I was in a group over the weekend 288 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: because of the town I live in, they all lean, 289 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, Trump is hitler and just it is all 290 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: kind of a how are you holding up? You know 291 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: sort of mood, oh lord, which I find is hilarious. 292 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: And somebody said that to me, and I mean, I 293 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: don't talk about politics in my own personal life. It 294 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: was like, I'm holding up. Fine, it's just whatever, Why 295 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: would I not be Exactly According to CBS fifty three 296 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: percent approval rating for Donald Trump, his overall approved rating 297 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: is fifty three percent, the highest he's ever had in 298 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: his presidency. So apparently it's not quite so how are 299 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: you holding up? He as some of you might think, 300 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: Good lord, Well. 301 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: I love the the Just a subtle little Weasley hedge 302 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: there from Anthony Salvanto on Face the Nation. There he is, 303 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: according to voter perceptions, doing. 304 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: What he promised to do. Wait a second. 305 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: If I say I'm going to carry in a dozen eggs, 306 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: and I carry in a dozen eggs, you don't have 307 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: to say Joe just did. But according to voter perceptions, 308 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: he said he dude, no, you freaking heard me say it. 309 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: Just they as such weasels. We'll get into more of 310 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: this later because there's a lot but on the biggest 311 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: topic of the first three weeks, Trump administration's programmed to 312 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: deport immigrants illegally in the United States fifty nine percent approval, 313 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: call it six oh nine percent. And yet, as I 314 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: keep saying, show me a report that's not on Fox 315 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: where they even indicate it's neutral that he's doing that, 316 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to it's all negative. It's all bad. Clearly, 317 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: this is awful. No wonder your ratings are so bad. 318 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Don't you people want to make a living, You newspapers, 319 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: you TV channels. Sixty percent of America is okay with this, 320 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: So maybe at the very least be neutral or even 321 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: shade it somewhat positive. 322 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: You nut jobs, right exactly as I said off the air, 323 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: their punishment is they're dying, which is a pretty good punishment. 324 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: How does mailbag look now that we've tried a new schedule? 325 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: Very thought provoking. I'll bet it, oh, I bet it 326 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: kicks ass. It's going to be moving and just appropriate. 327 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: Like that weird introductory Brad Pitt wandering around saying, looking sad. 328 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: Okay, cool, that's on the way. We've got Katie's headlines 329 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: and a lot more news to catch you up from 330 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: the weekends. I hope you can stick around. 331 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty. 332 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, and because I'm a guy with 333 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: a couple of school age kids, I'm excited that Elon 334 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 1: and Dozer turning their attention toward the Department of Education 335 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: this week. I'm already out a tweet from Elon.

Maybe it wouldn't be very 407 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: long ago. 408 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: I wouldn't think quintupled in or cut by eighty percent. 409 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. It is interesting question though. 410 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: Uh Brian and Walla Walla, I don't know if you 411 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: guys are too young to remember that in the seventies, 412 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: were not the global crisis was over population. I remember 413 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: posters of a plant with people hanging off of it. 414 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: That was the radical lefts global crisis of the day. 415 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: And did it ever materialize. 416 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: No. 417 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: Now we have the global warming crisis meant to spread 418 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 2: fear and push an agenda. So why does no one 419 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: ever bring up over population or ice ages as an 420 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: argument about how wrong the experts get things, soil it grain, 421 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 2: it's people. 422 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of ai ads yesterday during 423 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and I didn't understand a single one 424 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: of them. But certainly a lot of this is going 425 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: to change everything. Well we'll see. 426 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think that's for investors as much as anybody. 427 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: But there are a couple that I noticed immediately, Oh, 428 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: I'll bet this is an ai AD, And I focused 429 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: in carefully and I thought, oh, there it is open AI. 430 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: Sure I was right, but I got nothing from that commercial. Yeah. 431 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what black thoughts on white backgrounds. Apparently 432 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: I do too. 433 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: Let's see, let's see more praise for Michaelangelo's cheesy. 434 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: What's not to like?

The Your recipe on 436 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: our website is funny, though. The way you wrote it 437 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: is very clever. I like that. I wish I had 438 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: eaten about half as much. I still don't feel good 439 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: from that. Oh, nothing wrong with it. It's not your dip. 440 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: It's my volume. It's all. That's what I had for 441 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: lunch and dinner. It was my lunch and dinner. It's 442 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: your legacy. 443 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: Michael, Really, it's your Stairway to Heaven, it's your great novel. 444 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: It's gone, but the dip will live on. Exactly, That's 445 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: what I was trying to say. Yeah. 446 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 2: Jt In Livermore, frequent correspondent, pointing out that the March 447 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: of Dimes effect is clearly going on with the Democratic Party. 448 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: The March of Dimes was originally created a combat polio. 449 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 2: Polio's defeated. They're like, well, we got all the staff. 450 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: We're good at raising money and birth the facts. 451 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: Which is fine. 452 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: But often you've got an organization like the NAACP, for instance, 453 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: or the Southern Poverty Law Center, which had legitimate civil 454 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: rights goals but has evolved into a blackmailing, race baiting 455 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: fund raising colossus that doesn't do any good to anybody anyway. 456 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: But he points out how the Democratic Party has a 457 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: long and checkered history with many awful policy positions from 458 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 2: slavery to Jim Crow laws, but a number of successes, 459 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 2: et cetera. But now it looks like they've hit a 460 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 2: brick wall. They've tried and failed to stay relevant by 461 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: enacting a foe constant revolution, that's true, Yeah, constant civil 462 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: rights battles, even when all the battles are settled. But 463 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: unlike the Pass, they're not on the side of history 464 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: or righteousness, nor do they have the masses on their side. Instead, 465 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: they've chosen the most caustic and abrasive posturing in an 466 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: effort to force support for terrible topics and policies that 467 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: are not supported big bloated, etc. They're for racism, against 468 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: the rule of law, open borders, et cetera. 469 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Well, so like the Snoop Brady things, the PSAs that 470 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: I guess the NFL was behind, or whatever, I hate 471 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: you because you're different. I hate you because I think 472 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: you hate me and the whole thing. And then Snoop 473 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: saying I hate that we live in a time where 474 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: we have to say this or something like that. Do 475 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: you think we're in a particularly hateful racist time historically speaking? 476 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. 477 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: Not until DEI came in, not until Black Lives Matter 478 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: came in. 479 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: All people of all races agree. 480 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: Race relations have gotten worse since the recent round of 481 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: what JT was just describing in his email, the never 482 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: ending revolution, the never ending civil rights battle, when everybody's 483 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 2: achieved more or less what we wanted to, and now 484 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: we're working on the details that it's ridiculous, but it's 485 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 2: about saving it's about raising money and having power and 486 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: their pitches. We will change things and get rid of 487 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 2: the evildoers.

People in favor of it pnfortunately seemed 511 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: to be those who benefited from it, and vice versa. 512 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: Not shocking, a lot of people seem to believe that 513 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: meritocracy was a form of gas lighting. It was intent 514 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: is to perpetuate racism. It's absolutely not true. In fact, 515 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 2: I would say, if you want to perpetuate bad outcomes 516 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: for a people, get rid of meritocracy. 517 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: Well you remember we did a big forum one time 518 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: thingy in front of a progressive crowd, and we were 519 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: having an argument with these other people and I said, 520 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: and I was completely unaware of this. I said, well, 521 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: I believe in meritocracy. I just want to And one 522 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: of the guys that was on the other side said, ah, 523 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: that's dog whistle for racism, and the crowd started cheering 524 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: and everything like that. I was like, really, I had 525 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: never even heard that before. I didn't know meritocracy was 526 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: for progressive It's just you're just trying to slip in 527 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: racism through the back door. Yeah, I had no idea. 528 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: Utterly illogical and dead wrong and incredibly damaging that attitude. 529 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're super concerned about education for little 530 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: black kids, for instance, and you get rid of meritocracy 531 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 2: and just have quotas, what incentive is. 532 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: There to fix the education for the little black kids 533 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: you've removed it. 534 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: It is the worst sort of soft medium, hard bigotry, 535 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 2: of low expectation. Then the final thing is the most 536 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: popular rejection seems to be that meritocracy doesn't account for 537 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 2: the fact that some people come from circumstances that are 538 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: not conductive to success. I guess I agree that's true, 539 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: and it goes a long way to explaining disparate outcomes. 540 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: But my answer to that would be easy, Well, that's 541 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 2: why a society works on making sure that people have 542 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: Perhaps you've heard the phrase equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. 543 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: That's a band aid. It's evil rejected. So a couple 544 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: of minutes into the halftime show yesterday with Kendrick Lamar, 545 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: I assume singing some of his most well known songs 546 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: because I don't know he's speaking. 547 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 2: He speaks more of the things, doesn't he a rapper? 548 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: My brother texted me, gonna be whistling these songs all 549 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: night now, which I thought was hilarious. But you know, 550 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: but I'm aware that the halftime show is not aimed 551 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 1: at me, don't but I am always kind of interested. 552 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: Who's their target? 553 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 2: Then? 554 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, who do they have in mind when 555 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: they're putting on the halftime show? Because I picked up 556 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: my son. This is the first year my son went 557 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: went to a Super Bowl party with other people, which 558 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: was a little nice moment for him, a little hurtful 559 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: for me, but you know, time March is on. Anyway, 560 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I went and picked up my high schooler from the 561 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl party you went to, and I said, what 562 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: do you think of the halftime show? He said, eh, 563 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's not for me. I said, what do 564 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: you mean? He said, it's for like thirty year olds. 565 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar is kind of like for thirty year olds. Oh, 566 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: which when you're fifteen is like old people, right. But 567 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: I thought, okay, so it wasn't for you, wasn't for me. 568 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: I had to be for somebody. I mean, there's a 569 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: lot of money at stake in trying to figure out 570 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: who your target audience is for this stuff, or is 571 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: it the big dumb corporation that brought you the Brad 572 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: pitt sad face in trow and other just questionable decisions. 573 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 5: Lay. 574 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lady Gaga eight minutes of resonating with the 575 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: ISIS attack for some reason, like you felt like we 576 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: needed that, right, Yeah, It's just it's probably just a 577 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: bad decision. To me. It only felt like harsh in 578 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: my mellow, that hole every time you brought up the 579 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: ISIS attack. I don't think you needed to resonate with him, No, 580 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: not at all. 581 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was attacked on and felt like, well, 582 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 2: we feel like this is obligatory, so here it is. 583 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Sit there and listen to sit there and be reminded 584 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: of death, like surprise death that could happen at any time. 585 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: Now back to the game.

I don't know, 591 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Maybe I just don't think about it that much. Seems 592 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: perfectly fine to me.

FEMA sent fifty nine million dollars 608 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: last week to luxury New York City hotels. 609 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: To house illegal immigrants.

No, 617 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm not paying anything for it, right, The government pays 618 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: the US government. Yeah really, and it's your stone and 619 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: to me if you don't even breathe toward me. The 620 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: the real problem in our budget is the entitlements are 621 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: out of control. And this million here and millionaire is 622 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: not going to every penny which is about to be 623 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: out lawned, every nickel that is spent. That is a waste. 624 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: I want looked at well, and more broadly. 625 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: A culture whereby waste is rooted out and loathed, and 626 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 2: a culture that says, all right, let's just as mental exercise, 627 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 2: let's strip this agency down to nothing. Then let's talk 628 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: about what's really important that we ought to be funding. 629 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: That is a seismic shift. It's not about the dollar amounts. Sure, absolutely, 630 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: I want every agency department in America to be scared 631 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: to do something that would be embarrassing if it got 632 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: tweeted out by Elon, so that they'll be more careful 633 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: with their money. That's what I would like, and entitlements eventually, And. 634 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 5: Since this is one of your favorite stories, I'm bringing 635 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 5: it back Washington Post. Trump has ordered the Treasury Department 636 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 5: to stop producing new pennies. 637 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: That's right, finally, so good. Why did it take this long. 638 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I have kept a penny in a decade. 639 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: I just I found one on my desk. 640 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 5: But I'm going to keep it in case it becomes 641 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 5: a collector's right. From study fines, majority of football fans 642 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 5: want Super Bowl Monday declared a national holiday. 643 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm in favor of that.

Oh my word, make sense 648 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: of vegetables. I did. I had to. I had a 649 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: peanut butter sandwich earlier in the day. Then for lunch 650 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: and dinner, I had your dip. Oh I feel like 651 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: a refried bean. From NBC. 652 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 5: Trump announces blanket tariffs on steel and aluminum and reciprocal 653 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 5: tariffs on other countries. 654 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: Oh, we'll have to get to the CBS polling of 655 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: what people think of tariffs.
