We eat ketchup and immediately we 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.920 burst out in sweat, and it's a hilarious joke among 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.680 all of us, like if we're out to eat. Whenever 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.200 we get together for the family, we're all with napkins 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.880 dabbing at our bald heads.

That's right up there with Katie. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.960 Bananas and banana flavored things make me cough one of 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.400 the time. Really, I wonder if you guys are somewhat 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.880 like allergic to in these things, or something terrible happened. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.200 To me in my childhood. I've repressed. There's that. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.000 To answer your question, three sixty five is Whole Food's generic? 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:32.400 Oh? Okay brand? Oh, I will not sully my tube steak. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.680 You didn't want anybody to come? Why didn't you just 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.200 cancel your barbecue? Okay, I get it. It must not 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.560 be as good as Hinds or humps, which are the 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.680 main brands of Ketchup. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.000 Are you a Ketchup man or a Catsup man? 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:46.640 Oh? 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.800 I think I think I'm like it when I say Catsup? No, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:57.359 do you say pallo and milk to the Bill Gates 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.200 thing kind of shows what Epstein was all about. Oh, 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.760 by the way, we're going to play a few more 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.720 highlights again from the State of the Union address, the 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.360 two greatest things being introduced in the hockey team. I mean, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.360 it's got no significance really politically, but it was an 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.920 awesome moment. I thought it was really really cool. What 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.720 did have political significance was saying, hey, stand if you 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.280 think American citizens are more important than illegals and all 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.720 the Democrats sat is just amazing. But more on that 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.600 coming up a little bit. So Bill Gates still one 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.360 of the richest people in the world. You know, he 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.080 was the richest man in the world for a very 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.120 very long time back when he was dealing with Epstein. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.800 He was the richest man in the world. Microsoft founder. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.320 He gave a speech to his foundation, which now he's 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.800 all about philanthropy. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:44.160 At this point in his life. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.040 But he gave a speech to his foundation yesterday admitting 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.920 to a couple of affairs that he had piled around 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.480 with Ebstein somewhat, but that he never did anything illicit 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.280 and never saw anything illicit. So I guess he just 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.360 wanted to say, hey, I cheated on my wife. But 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.640 I'm not a criminal or a pervo. I guess that's 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.160 and so don't don't leave our foundation, don't stop donating 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.120 it to it whatever. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:09.640 I guess that way. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.800 Yeah, I want to come clean with my entire relationship 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.960 with Epstein, what it included, what it did, and I 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.120 think it's probably a good maneuver. He admitted he had 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.600 two affairs with Russian well, and he's already his wife 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.400 already left him, So you know what's winning, what damage 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.040 you can do at this point, he admitted he had 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.320 two affairs with Russian women while married to his now 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.760 ex wife Melinda. Gates issued a groveling apology, says The 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.159 New York Post, for his links with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.120 Gates is seventy now. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960 He told staffers at the foundation yesterday that he flew 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.960 on the plane with Epstein, spent time with him in 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.560 the United States and abroad, but didn't participate in any crime. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.120 I did nothing illicit, I saw nothing illicted. To be clear, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.400 I've never spent any time with the victims the women 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.279 around him. Gates first met Epstein first met him in 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.520 twenty eleven, which was after Epstein had been convicted for 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.520 procuring a child for prostitution. Yeah, so you meet this 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:14.240 guy after he's a convicted force a child into prostitution. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:14.719 Dude. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.320 God, I would think you'd have handlers or whatever that 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.640 would vet these people, and you would think, I'm not. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.360 I don't want to be associated with this guy. Yeah, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.640 I don't want to steal your thunder or anything. Gates 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.960 talks about the incredible connections Epstein had, you know, to 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.599 billionaires who could help with the philanthropy. But that's a 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:35.480 big overlook. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.560 Gates has always denied doing any any wrongdoing over his 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:41.400 Epstein links. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.320 Blah blah blah, blah blah. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.840 He and his wife filed for divorce in twenty twenty one, 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.440 indigate twenty seven year marriage. That's a long time to 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.440 being married. I did have affairs, he said yesterday. One 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.360 with a Russian bridge player who I met at bridge events, 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.159 and one with a Russian new clear physicists who I 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.640 met through business activities. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:03.920 Wow, I was. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.320 Picturing hot Russian twenty three year old fluzies. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.159 He wants to make it clear that they were cerebral. Well, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:10.800 they might. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.640 Have been cerebral, and I don't floozy. I don't know 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.160 whatever that means. But I mean, I know what that means. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.120 But in this context, the bridge player I linked to 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.159 a couple of different stories. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.279 Nobody's got an age on this woman. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.960 She was in her twenties, and it looks like from 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.960 the pictures her early twenties, and. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.240 Gates was in his late fifties at the time. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.919 She looks like she's twenty two and he's in his 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.520 late fifties, and she's a bridge player and they were 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.000 hooking up. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.880 I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.520 playing bridge with no broke broke software executive. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.440 And probably the same with the nuclear physicist. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.360 Right. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.440 But here's the interesting part to me, Epstein had previously 0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:01.520 threatened Gates over the affair with the bridge player and 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.479 use that as leverage. Oh my, so Epstein, Why was 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.080 Epstein aware of these affairs? Most people try to keep 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.240 their affairs really, really quiet. Why was Epstein aware of them? 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.360 Did he have some role in running these women at Gates? 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.160 Well, I think you're leaping to a conclusion that might 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.840 be correct, but at the very least, your billionaire private 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.200 plane buddies, he's a womanizer. You're banging a hot rush 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.760 and it comes up, does it? Man? 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.480 I wouldn't. I would think you'd keep that quiet. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.560 But anyway, Epstein met the bridge player girl, who was 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.480 quite young but an adult, while seeking financial backers for 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.600 a Bridge academy before he paid for her to attend 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:54.920 software coding school. So Epstein met this woman and knew her. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.720 Then Gates meets her in twenty ten at a tournament 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.440 they're playing in. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.760 So I don't know. I Thinkstein put them together. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.000 That could be. That'd be my guess. Anyway, again, this 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.000 is where it gets interesting. It gives you an idea 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.200 of the way Epstein operated. In a July fourth, twenty 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.280 thirteen email to this guy Nikolic, that's his last name. 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:19.440 That's Gates, chief advisor for Science and Technology, Epstein sends 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.600 an email to one of gatestops people and named two 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.800 women that Gates was having an affair with and the pedophile. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.200 Epstein claimed the women risked. You know, this risk's becoming 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.760 an overnight sensation. Bill risks going from richest man to 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.280 biggest hypocrite. He says in the email, Melinda a laughingstock. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.640 Pledges will disappear as well, Epstein told so. Epstein just 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.600 out of nowhere sends an email to one of Bill 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.000 gates top people and say, yeah, he's having two affairs, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.760 and boy, wouldn't that be a shame. I'll bet this 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.120 would be a really big story. And here's what would 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.760 happen if everybody found out? 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.040 Is there anything close to a threat because I have 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:58.960 a different theory. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:08:59.440 Okay. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.920 Just weeks later, Epstein sent a resignation email to himself 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.959 in which he seemed to be writing as this Nicolick dude. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.800 During the past few weeks, I've been caught up in 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.120 several in a severe meritable dispute between Melinda and Bill. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.960 So the email tried to suggest that Nikolick had assisted 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.679 Gates in securing medication in order to deal with the 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.760 consequences of sex with the Russian girls, which I assume 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.160 would be some sort of medicine for a for a 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:37.480 disease you picked up with your affairs. So Nicolk claims 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.400 the emails were not written on his behalf or at 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.560 his request. So Epstein wrote these emails he had to 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.040 be either sent to the guy or was planning to 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.079 send him to the guy and say I think this 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:48.880 is what you should do. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:51.160 Had to be. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.120 Now what he was trying to get that is not known, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.480 but he was trying to get something. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:09:58.640 Wow. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:05.840 Yeah, that's a twist. So Epstein ghost throat resignation letters. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:12.800 Yeah for the second in command mentioning that the Russians 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.080 and implying the clap. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.839 But it gives you an idea of what was going 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.960 on in that world with all these people in the 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.200 sex and the how out of nowhere it seems like 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.520 Epstein could come to you and all of a sudden, Yeah, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.319 this is going to be really uncomfortable for you unless 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:31.080 this happens. 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.000 Yeah, whatever that this is, I have all sorts of 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.200 theories about how that could have happened after a quick 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:44.960 word towarference or untoward oh on, completely all on the 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.960 big un capital on.

I thought it would help me with global 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.520 health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:11.800 It was just a huge mistake. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:18.080 What did Gates say that Epstein turned from the great 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.040 doer of favors? Because that was his power, and that's 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.000 been documented in a couple of different places. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:24.840 We've talked about it. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.440 He connected people, He did favors for people, They were 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.400 obligated to him, they would do him a favor, et cetera. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.959 That was what it was all about with the rich 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.160 and powerful. What made him switch from the great doer 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.520 of favors to the don't you f with me? You 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.320 have no idea how good I am? That was hinted 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.440 at by that fake resignation. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.640 Lafe right, right, right right. I don't know, but so 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.440 he could. He could go either way. So he wants 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.600 to get you in a bad situation, and then it's 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.720 either favors. You know, we can keep the bad situation quiet. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.560 You know, you do favors for me, I'll do favors 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.360 for you and we'll have a great relationship. But if 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.440 for some reason you're not willing to do a favor 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.719 for me, or who knows what, I got this over you, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.800 and I'm willing to talk about it apparently. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.360 Yeah, I think you're overestimating how much a part of 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:17.559 his act that was, but. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:18.800 It was plainly apart. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.880 What's that email he sends to Gates number one with 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.840 the boy this is gonna be a sensational story going 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.080 to the foundation. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.720 And all I'm saying is that he would probably very 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.040 rarely play that card, because that would if he got 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.640 a rep among all the rich and powerful who hung 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.520 with him and all that, Oh, he'll turn on you 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:38.240 like a jackal. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:39.640 It would have fallen apart. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.000 I say it was ninety five percent positive, and one 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.640 out of twenty he'd have to, you know, maybe twist 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:47.319 the normals. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.000 You know, some of it. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.280 You wouldn't need to say out loud. If you were 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.280 getting together with underage women and Epstein knew about it, 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.760 you don't need to send an email saying pointing that out. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.439 Or even twenty two year olds. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're having a fair period. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:02.040 Yeah. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.160 Or you're a CEO of a company. You're not supposed 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.959 to be banging twenty two year old Russians. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:06.560 Yeah. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:11.320 Card players, bridgeport really chess players, whatever bridge is. I 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.440 don't really know what bridge is. A card game, Well, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.520 I know it's a card game, and I having the 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.600 slightest idea how to play. I don't either. It's difficult. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.600 She partner gets mad at you if you play bad. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.080 She looked very young. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.560 Anyway, if you know any thought on this text line 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.600 four one, five, two nine five kftc. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:29.600 Arrom and Getty. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.640 College kids are telling us Trump Stay the Union didn't 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.440 go so well. The only problem it's tomorrow. Great Trump 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.600 Stay the Union speech one out of ten. One's the worst, 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.240 ten's the best. Negatives and why I think we all 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.240 know a lot of What about the state of the 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:46.160 Union last night? 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:47.680 One in ten? It was like. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:50.600 The place and to give it a one? 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:51.880 And why do you say one? 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.680 I don't think he's very articulate. How did Trump do it? 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.360 The Stay of the Union? 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:57.040 Zero? 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.240 I didn't really watch it much. I watched it a 0:14:59.280 --> 0:14:59.600 little bit. 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.960 But yeah, and the punchline is George Washington University students. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.680 Yeah, as she said, I asked them the day before 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:13.280 the speech. Everything's performative. 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:20.920 That is unbelievable. Wow, everybody's got their role to play. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:21.960 That fits in with us. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.280 I was just reading something from James Lindsay, who we 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.320 really like around here is one of your anti woke leaders, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.640 and he's talking about a couple of different times with 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.720 the Democrats wouldn't stand up for people who are victims 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.360 of crime or whatever. Anyway, James Lindsay wrote, I'm once 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.240 again explaining to you that the friend enemy distinction in 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.960 politics is poisoned. The Democrats refuse to stand because the 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.080 enemy stands, and for them to stand would be to 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.720 be seen standing with the enemy. It rots your soil, 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.120 your soul, It destroys you from the inside. I would agree, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.280 just judge these things on an individual basis, without any. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.080 That's entirely tribal. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.240 You got someone there who's had died, and people are 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.080 standing and saying, you know, we feel bad for you. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.480 Go ahead and join in on that. It's not gonna 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:06.920 hurt anything. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:07.920 One of them. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.080 I wondered about a little bit. Gotta be delicate here 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.120 because it's a child and it's a tragedy. But they 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.360 Trump introduced this girl who was at that horrible situation 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.600 with that camp in Texas where the flood came and 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.720 swept away and drowned all those kids. And you had 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:29.040 a girl who was rescued by a firefighter or whoever 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.600 rescued her. I mean, that story is great, obviously, but 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.880 you had the little girl there and she stands up 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:39.520 and everybody's cheering and they fist bump. I thought that 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.000 was kind of weird. I mean, to each their own, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.240 but that kid went through I can't even imagine the 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.200 PTSD around that. All your friends drowned in front of you, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.640 and you nearly drowned and got pulled out of the 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.240 water from the bottom by this guy, and now you're 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.960 smiling and fist bumping at the State of the Union address. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.240 Just seems weird to me. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.120 And all the parents of the kids who did die 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:07.400 or at home. That's extremely I didn't say that extremely UNCP. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:07.800 A full thing. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.320 You went through into kind of a happy fist bump 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.320 smiling thing. You know, it's the kid gets to do 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.800 a d D and whatever. But it just seemed ahdly 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:17.560 placed to me. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.320 I would have said xnay on that one as a parent, 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.440 a political person, right, you know, I might have saluted 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.000 the absolutely wonder absolutely saluting the first responder perfectly makes sense. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.680 The girl being there just seemed I can't even imagine 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:38.560 what that girl went through. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.960 Uh, we're gonna play another moment from the introducing the 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.000 hockey team and everything like that, and everybody cheered that, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.479 almost everybody. There are a few people that didn't stand up, 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:51.520 even for the hockey players. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.800 There's no helping you. I don't even know what that is. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:02.159 But the not standing for you prioritize Americans citizens over illegals. 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.720 No Democrats stood for that. Of course, seventy some Democrats 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.400 didn't show up at all, but none of the Democrats 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:10.920 that were there stood for that. And I think that 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:12.840 moment is going to have legs. So we got a 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.199 lot more on the way. I hope you can stay here. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.960 If you miss a second, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.000 Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.320 A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.359 we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:28.480 The hottest. 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:38.359 Well, that's nightclub manager Hallim Benkowitz talking about his hot No, 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:39.440 that's the president. You know. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.840 I read from the Wall Street Journal editorial board week 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.639 before last on how there's a lot of great signs 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.560 with the economy, and they pointed them all out, but 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.080 with the whole you know, Mark Twain, lies, damn lies 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.080 and statistics. Every president in my lifetime has painted a 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.520 portrait of the economy being fantastic or bouncing back or 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.879 roaring or whatever. So you can come up with them 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.880 that make that point regardless. But yeah, I would say 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.520 so he's got I mean, certainly the stock market numbers. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:08.640 I mean, you can't argue with those. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:16.359 Yeah. Yeah. On the other hand, the affordability issue is real. Emotionally, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.040 it feels very expensive out there. 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.160 Well, inflation has a very long tail because prices don't 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.400 come down generally, they stop rising maybe, but it's fairly 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.000 rare that they come down, you know. On Moss as 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.320 a whole, I feel like people talk too much about 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.000 the price of bacon or eggs and not enough about 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:35.679 car insurance. 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:37.840 I mean, what the hell. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.359 Oh, speaking of the Journal, they had a great piece 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.920 the other day about how wildly desperate people are in 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.919 various parts of Calumun Accorney, in particular to get homeowners insurance. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.920 You can't even get anybody to write you a policy, 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.200 and the States Ensure of Last Resort whatever it's called, 0:19:53.240 --> 0:20:01.840 some ridiculous name, is just completely drowning in unsustainable obligations. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.200 So anyway, yeah, that's a great one. Insurance and vehicle 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.240 costs and repairs and all that stuff. Anyway, the President 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.040 did talk a fair amount about economics, and yes, earlier 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.159 in the show, we saluted the master stroke of the 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.840 making the Democrats sit through a long round of applause 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.720 for the idea of yeah, citizens get priority over illegal immigrants. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.600 No they don't, No they don't. We're Democrats. We like 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.800 illegals better. So that was great. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.640 But let's talk economics a little bit. Michael will start 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:32.960 with a one twenty. 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.800 All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:50.440 really important and very necessary massive tax cuts. They wanted 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:56.000 large scale tax increases to hurt the people instead. 0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.320
