1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Getty and no he.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: I'll be dealing with President Putin largely on the phone,

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 3: and we ultimately expect to meet. In fact, we expect

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: that he'll come here and I'll go there, and we're

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia, the first

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: time we'll meet in Saudi Arabia see if we can get

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: something done. But we want to end that war. That

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: war is a disaster. It's a really bloody, horrible war.

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if we have this club. But Trump

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: was asked specifically, something like, you know, is there a

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: good guy and a bad guy in this war? Something

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: along those lines, and he stayed away from question. I

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 4: realize he's trying to negotiate with Putin and get him

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: to agree to something. But dang, I think we need

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: moral clarity on Putin's the bad guy. He's the evil guy.

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: He's the worst guy. He's among the worst guys on.

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: Earth right right. I wouldn't want to throw out the

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: baby of Trump, the good things he's shaken up with

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: the bathwater of some of the stuff I don't like.

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: I think, as I said earlier, he's a little too

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: quick to get rid of Chesterton's fence and rebuild it

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: as Trump fence with solid gold. And I think some

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: of the abandoning conventional thinking is probably too much, too

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: fast and lacks moral clarity. As you'd said, some of

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: it's great, but this one bothers me. Well, the idea

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: dealing with Putin the way he is.

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: The idea of even suggesting that Putin could come sit

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: at the White House and meet the president after you know,

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: bombing schools full of kids as the intention to death intentionally, yeah,

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: what the hell?

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: Or abduct We didn't even get to the.

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: Abducting the tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids that they've

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: taken back to Russia, taken them from their families.

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: Turning them into loyal little Russians. Yeah, Instead, and we

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: didn't even get to this story I think it was

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journal about the systematic torture of

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: Ukrainian prisoners, how the guards were told take off your

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: body cameras were suspending that regulation, make it as hard

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: as possible on them, inflict pain whenever you can, for

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: any reason, systematic torture with the goal of what breaking

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: their will, rendering them shells of human beings, kill them

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: without killing them.

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: You can't have a guy like that sit down at

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: the White House with the President and being treated unless

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: we're unless we're luring him to a uh, you know,

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: a country like ours to arrest him. I don't think

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: he should be able to leave Russia.

52
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you need to worry about it

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: because Putin would never to it. Way too much security

54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: risk for him, It'll never happen.

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: How much does that help him, though, if he can

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: play if his news agency, because it's the Putin news

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: agency in Russia, gets to run a clip of President

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: Trump talking about Putin coming to visit the White House.

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Trump would tell you that stuff doesn't matter.

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: All that matters is the deal we strike. I'm working

61
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 2: on a deal.

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: But well, if that's true, then why do you got

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: to flatter the guy. He's gonna do whatever is in

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: his best interest, whether you call him.

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: The devil or your best friend, isn't he Yeah? I

66
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: think so. And again I'm not arguing this on my

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: own behalf. I'm just trying to understand the way Trump

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: might be approaching it. I think he's approaching it the

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: same way you'd approach trying to get a spit of

70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: land on the coast of Ireland to build a golf

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: resort on. You're gonna flatter the mayor and the local

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: council people and the farmers and say nothing but great

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: things about him and how excited you are, and how

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: we could really have a great deal, until you know,

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: it comes time to get down to breast tacks.

76
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: God, how heartbreaking must it be for Zelensky, who's you know,

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: had to be at the top of all this, and

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: so many families in Ukraine if to hear that Putin

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: could be treated like that, treated with that level of

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: respect and dignity, Oh.

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: My god, it's got to be astonishing and horrifying. Yeah,

82
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: real polititicket, it's absolutely worse now. I also think Trump

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: said something yesterday about when they was being asked about

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: Putin and Zelensky.

85
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: Well, Zelenski's pull numbers aren't very high. Have you seen

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: so like took a shot.

87
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: At him while he was flattering Putin. I just that

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: whole act. I do not like if behind the scenes

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Trump is communicating with Zelensky and saying, trust me on this.

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: It's going to look crazy, but trust me that okay, okay,

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's tough to take to flip it around.

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: Though.

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 4: We'll some more clips about this, because this was all

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: the talk yesterday. You had the SEC def HEGXETH saying

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: they're not going to get their land back, They're not

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: gonna get their twenty pre twenty fourteen land is not

97
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 4: coming back, and becoming part of NATO is off the table.

98
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: So we announced those things just flat out yesterday, which

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: is kind of interesting. From a negotiating standpoint. I would

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: not use the word interesting. I'd use insane unless you've

101
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: got some crazy strategy I don't know about. You would

102
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: never take stuff off the table preemptively like that, even

103
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: if it's clearly true, just to get to the real negotiating.

104
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of an example where I'd be

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: negotiating where we both know X isn't true, isn't gonna happen.

107
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: So there's no point in pretending it is leverage because

108
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: it's not.

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even if you have a little uncertainty in

110
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: a negotiation, like that. You can exploit it and overplay

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: that hand intentionally to get other concessions. It happens all

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: the time.

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

114
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: I'm trying to come up with the scenario where I

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: think it would make sense.

116
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: But what was I saying?

117
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 4: Oh, so this was the talk all day long yesterday,

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: Hexeth announcing that, and then Trump talking about meeting with

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: Putin there and here and everything else.

120
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: So it's it's a big story.

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: Oh, I was thinking to be fair to Trump's point

122
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: of view on this, if I wanted to end of

123
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: the war, and I thought it was in the United

124
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: States best interest to end the war, do I believe

125
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: that this might be a separate topic if I thought

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: it was in the best interest in the United States

127
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: to get this war off the table.

128
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

129
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: Is there any point in bad mouth and Putin as

130
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: you head to the negotiating table?

131
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: Probably not. You know, I could come up with a

132
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: rationale for it, But you know, my meanderings and musings,

133
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: who needs them. It's it's unconventional. I'll say that, and

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, And I don't believe this, but

135
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: I am willing to entertain the notion that as I've

136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: said before Trump's Gazza Lago idea, which is just flat

137
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: effing looney tunes. We'll take over Gaza, We'll clear out

138
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: the rubble, We'll rebuild it as a groovy Mediterranean resort.

139
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: The Palestinians can live in tracked homes over there, how lovely,

140
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: Will you build them a park? It'll be great.

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: I mean it's just but I mean I don't believe that, right,

142
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just no.

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: No. But so as crazy as that is, though, all

144
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the leaders in the region are saying, no,

145
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: we're not doing that. Let's come up with a good,

146
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: solid plan we can do. It's like, hey, welcome to

147
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: the party, boys, sixty seventy years down the line. Oh,

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: now you want to be productive and kick in some

149
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: money and actually solve this thing. Well lovely, and it

150
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: took Trump's crazy ass idea to get them off the schneid.

151
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: I would like to see some polling on this. The

152
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: support for Ukraine has dropped bit by bit. It's almost

153
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: it'll be three years, like a week that the war started,

154
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: and it began with very high support for helping defend Ukraine,

155
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: giving them what they need. Joe Biden said over and

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: over again to Zelenski's space, We're with you to the end.

157
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: You can count on us, while he would hold back

158
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: the things they needed to keep their people alive. And

159
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: now it looks like we ain't with you to the

160
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: end at all. We're gonna wrap this thing up. You

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: ain't getting your land back.

162
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: And you know my final thought, and then I'll shut up.

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: One of the more interesting things that really stuck with

164
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: me about a particular class I took years and years ago,

165
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: was we were talking about the difficulty democracies have in

166
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: ending wars because there will be political costs, often enormous

167
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: political costs for the people who end the war, particularly

168
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: if it doesn't end in glorious victory, because if it

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: ends in glorious victory, it ends itself. And so a

170
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: dictator can end a war and say we've won so

171
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: glorious victory, even though clearly it's not. Nobody says anything

172
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: about it, and it is over. In a democracy, it

173
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: is much much harder, which is perverse and counterintuitive, but

174
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: it's true if you think about it, no doubt, and

175
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: then that's a political price to pay if you didn't

176
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: end it in the right way right, exactly, yeah, Or

177
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: like Joe Biden, maybe it was time to get out

178
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: of Afghanistan, but the way he implemented it was horrifically stupid.

179
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: Reminds me of Trump of a bush and a rock. Anyway,

180
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: to get back to the main thread of things, a

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: guy like Trump would say, he would ask his advisors

182
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: like he's asking his foreman building a golf resort. If

183
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: we hang in there and the Ukrainians hang in there

184
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: for another six months, then we go hard. Can we

185
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: materially change their prospects? And the negotiating board and his

186
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: experts to tell him no, which is no, it's probably true, right,

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: it's a stalemate. Trump would say, all right, we end

188
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: it now, let's get to the table. Let's not have

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: any more bloodshed.

190
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: What's the upside of MA making noises about standing up

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: for democracies and everything?

192
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: If nothing's going to get better, that's right? Not a

193
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: horrible argument.

194
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 2: No, No, it's a very cold hearted analysis of things

195
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: that sometimes can cut through democracies not wanting to end

196
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: a war when they should. For instance, I think Trump

197
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: goes too far sometimes he disrespects things that actually do matter.

198
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: But I am more than willing to let these things

199
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: play out and then say, wow, I didn't see that coming.

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: I was wrong. I know that makes me a bad

201
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: talk show host. But we'll all find out together.

202
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 4: I want to hear how ABC summarized this last night.

203
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 5: President Trump on the phone with Russian President Putin for

204
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: ninety minutes, agreeing to start negotiations immediately to end the

205
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 5: war in Ukraine. Trump choosing to talk with Putin first,

206
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: the President agreeing to meet with Putin, saying their first

207
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 5: sit down could be in Saudi Arabia in the near future,

208
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 5: but Trump also suggesting he may go to Russia and

209
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 5: that Putin might come here, Trump saying the Ukrainian president

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: would likely be involved.

211
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: In a second meeting.

212
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: Zelensky posting this photo of their phone call today, saying,

213
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: together with the US, we are charting our next steps

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 5: to stomp Russian aggression and ensure a lasting, reliable peace.

215
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: As President Trump said, let's get.

216
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: It done well.

217
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: It's a very upbeat, positive spin on the story of

218
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 4: the day there for ABC Evening News.

219
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: I just think Trump's trying to flatter Putin and say, hey,

220
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm willing to work with you, I respect you, I

221
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: like you, I get you, let's work together. He's trying

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: to play putin, which is fine, but again it's like

223
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: complimenting an alligator on its scales so it doesn't chew

224
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: your leg off.

225
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,479
Speaker 4: One more clip. This is a second deaf pete hegzeth.

226
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: On the future of Ukraine.

227
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: We want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine, but

228
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 6: we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre

229
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 6: twenty fourteen borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal,

230
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 6: we will only prolong the war and cause more suffering.

231
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 4: So many lives lost and nothing accomplished by anyone good.

232
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: I am mystified by this because Zelensky said something similar

233
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: himself lately. I don't understand why you go big and

234
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: blunt with it like that.

235
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: Well, there will be a book written in a couple

236
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: of years that will probably explain it.

237
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: Would be my guess.

238
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: We got more on the way stay here. Too much

239
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: news needs to be some sort of federal law on

240
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: the amount of news every day.

241
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: Five stories a day, maybe five big ones and five

242
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: small ones and a sports story, right, and like one

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: puppy saved by brave fireman.

244
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: That can be a bonus one and who won this

245
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: week's Westminster dog shows. It it seems to be a

246
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: weekly event, no kidding.

247
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's going to be a run on

248
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: those giant schnaus Well, of course there are, of course

249
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: the dignified giant Schnauzer they call it, is there like

250
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: an undignified giant Schnauzer breed as well, like the clowney,

251
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: you know, kind of loser giant Schnauzer that where's a

252
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: wife beater around the house and poops where it once?

253
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: I don't know. So this is one of my favorite

254
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: moments in legislative history. A House Republican representative Earl Buddy

255
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: Carter of Georgia. Natch, I'm gonna move to Georgia just

256
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: to vote for Earl Buddy Carter. He introduced a bill

257
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: this week that would enable President Trump's efforts to purchase

258
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: Greenland and rename it red, White, and Blueland. The bill

259
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: would also require the federal government to refer to it

260
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: as such on official maps and documents, never mind what

261
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: the denmarkings and Greenlanders say. Let's see. As part of

262
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: the bill, America is back and will soon be bigger

263
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: than ever with the addition of red, White and Blueland.

264
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is

265
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: now Greenland is a national security priority, and we'll proudly

266
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: welcome its people joined. The freest nation ever exists when

267
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: our negotiator in chief inks this monumental deal. Also considered

268
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: as names for the new state, Cold af Sylvania, Polar Barrington,

269
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: simply Ice, Ice Baby, and my favorite North North North Dakota.

270
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Oh now, we're gonna have nice cooperation with Greenland. The

271
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: Arctic in those passageways are going to be incredibly important

272
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: in the next fifty years. And it's a good thing.

273
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Do you remember?

274
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: I should do it again in case anybody didn't hear it.

275
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: The biggest rumor in Washington, d C. According to Mark Calpern,

276
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: and he talks to all the players. Oh yeah, the

277
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: biggest rumor in the world, persistent and omnipresent, is the

278
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: talk of a grand bargain between the United States and

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 4: China that involves reduced tariffs, US access to Greenland, China's

280
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 4: peaceful taking of Taiwan, all and several provisions and players

281
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: to be named later. It seems it's implausible to many

282
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: years and eyes, but the talk of this deal is everywhere,

283
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: says Mark Alpern.

284
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: This sounds like it could be a moral horror to me,

285
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: but I'm trying to understand it. We won't fight you

286
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: on Taiwan. We concede, sorry, Vladimer. You get the rights

287
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: to the northern passage through the Arctic and the rest

288
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: of it as a zone of influence and security, and

289
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: let's get it on and we call it a deal. Yeah. Yeah,

290
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: and a couple of players that be named later.

291
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. I got a question. So yesterday was Lincoln's birthday? Yes, sir,

292
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: and Lincoln is on the penny. The penny was the

293
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: most my whole life. I'm the present piece of currency

294
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: that existed. It is since lost its usefulness. Yes, we

295
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: all agree with that. But if Lincoln isn't the greatest

296
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: president of all time, he's number two. So I mean,

297
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 4: you know everybody agrees on that pretty much. Right, he'd

298
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: s either him or Washington. They're in the top two.

299
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: And do we move him to another? Doesn't it seem

300
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: I mean, we're eliminating the most dominant currency that existed

301
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: for my whole life with him on it. So that's

302
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 4: a lot of less Lincoln bouncing around and they're talking

303
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: about putting you know, Harriet Tubman on the twenty or whatever.

304
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: They've been talking about that for a long time. Does

305
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: it still got the fire? He's got the five dollar bill. Yeah,

306
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: that's a fine, you know, piece of currency, the fin

307
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: the five.

308
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 4: It ain't like the penny. Though everybody had a penny

309
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: in their pocket. My whole life, Lincoln was in their pocket,

310
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: your whole life.

311
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: No more. You got to move on. I just feel

312
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: like he's getting downgraded. Only I don't know what to

313
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: tell you, you know how, I'm always predicting a planet of

314
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: the beavers because human beings are going to die off

315
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: because we're not reproducing. Fascinating story. The Czech Republic was

316
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: trying to build a damn project for years and years

317
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: and years, and while they were arguing about it, Beaver's

318
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: action damned off the river and accomplished what the government couldn't.

319
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: That's a pretty funny story.

320
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: They're ready to take over Armstrong and Getty.

321
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 7: The intensity really developed after the election. So what's important

322
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: to remember about Mark is that it's ten precedentent. He

323
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 7: was passed up for three prisoner swaps, two in twenty

324
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 7: twenty two and one in August first, twenty twenty four,

325
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 7: passed up by who, by the Russians or by by

326
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: by both sides at.

327
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: The end of the day. Yeah, I don't know how

328
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: that all shook out.

329
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: That's that teacher that got let loose by Russia, Okaya

330
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: this week, Fogel.

331
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, from what I've gathered, the Biden administration did not

332
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: declare him a wrongful detainee because he was caught with

333
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: allegedly you never know, with Russia, the Hippi lets allegedly

334
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: seventeen grams of medicinal marijuana entering Russia. I say, if

335
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: you smuggle a drug you know to be illegal into

336
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: a foreign land, man, you have made a terrible, terrible mistake.

337
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that your home country needs to trade

338
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: some super bad guy to that country to get you back,

339
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 4: because you couldn't be in Russia without getting high.

340
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 2: Well, right and again, if that is true. And I

341
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: was all prepared to be outraged because he was already

342
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 2: being held when Britney Griner did her thing, and immediately

343
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: all of America rushed to her aid because she's a

344
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: basketball player, although she just had trace amounts on her

345
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: vape pen evidently, and this dude had seventeen grams, which

346
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: is a significant amount of pod allegedly.

347
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: Happy Gallantine's Day. Still trying to wrap my head around this.

348
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: Maybe you all knew about it.

349
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: I didn't.

350
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 4: I'd never heard about it in my life. We're still

351
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: getting text about it. Gallantine's Day. So it comes from

352
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: the TV show Parks and Recreation. It was a joke,

353
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 4: kind of like in the way Festivus was a joke

354
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: on Seinfeld.

355
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: But people still talk about it.

356
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: Gallantine's Day caught on and it seems to be a

357
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: combination of women who just want to get together for

358
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 4: drinks after work or Mimosa's for brunch or whatever, and

359
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 4: then we'll celebrate Valentine's Day with a dude. Or We've

360
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: gotten a number of text from people, say, those of

361
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 4: us who are widowed or divorced or have no man

362
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: in our lives, we like Gallentine Day to get together

363
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: with the gals. I don't know, Katie, you celebrate Galentine's Days?

364
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 8: I have before, and it's yeah, it's a good time

365
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 8: hang out with the girls, and it's a reason to

366
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 8: drink together early.

367
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: Sure do we need more reasons? Or it is Thursday

368
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 4: not a good Thursday was always good enough reason for me.

369
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: That seems like a pretty damn good reason. It's Thursday

370
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: or Tuesday or Wednesday morning or whatever.

371
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 8: You sound like, majorcas Tuesday, Wednesday.

372
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 4: I will get together with friends to drink on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, well,

373
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: and so on, and we have.

374
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: A very busy schedule. The first I heard about it

375
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: recently was from an email from a gal who said,

376
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: and she is a very Haiti like woman, Katie, very

377
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: down to earth practical, who said, now, this is just

378
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: more people aren't getting together. This is uh, nobody is

379
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: interested in Rome as what. I don't hell, I don't know,

380
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: and I don't particularly care. I don't think we're headed

381
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: for a planet of the beavers, and I've come to

382
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: accept it, which reminds me so seriously. Now. For years,

383
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: officials in the Czech Republic, which is absolutely beautiful, it

384
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: pushed a dam project to protect a river south of

385
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 2: Prague and the critically endangered species living in it, but

386
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: the project, hamstrung by land negotiations stalled. In the meantime,

387
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: a group of chiseltoothed mammals renowned for their engineering skills

388
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: and work ethic, an unencumbered by bureaucracy, decided to take

389
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: on the task. The Beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves.

390
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: The Rodents fast work. That's a band you follow around

391
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: and you smoke dope. Even if they go to Moscow.

392
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: The Beavers are prog. Yeah oh yeah, yeah, really rock hard.

393
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Dang dang ticket. That's sort of last I saw him.

394
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: They played a fifteen minute version of Czech River. It

395
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. Yeah yeah, a twelve minute chainsaw solo. Anyway,

396
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: they simply built the dams themselves. The Rodents' fast work

397
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: saved the local authorities one point two million euros, according

398
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: to a news release from somebody or other. Ah, so wait,

399
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: do they.

400
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 8: Do anything else? And can we hire some of them

401
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 8: in California?

402
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

403
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: No, kidding, Yeah, can they increase water storage in California?

404
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom hasn't. Jerry Brown didn't in generations as the

405
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: population doubled. Maybe we hire the Beavers of Prague.

406
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: The Beavers of Prague, their original drummer choked on his

407
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 4: own vomit, but the new.

408
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Guy's pretty good.

409
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: So hey, you know what I.

410
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: Want to get this on. This is Elon Musk doing

411
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: a zoom call. Overnight for some place in the Middle East.

412
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: Does he ever sleep anyway? Between him and Trump? No

413
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 4: wonder their buddies that they need no rest. They run

414
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 4: twenty four hours a day.

415
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 9: We do need to delete entire agencies as opposed to

416
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 9: leave part of them behind. Because you leave part of

417
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 9: them behind, it's easy. It's kind of like if they're

418
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 9: leaving a weed. If you don't remove the roots of

419
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 9: the weed, then it's easy for the weed to grow back.

420
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 9: But if you remove the roots of the weed, it

421
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 9: doesn't stop weeds.

422
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: From ever going back, but it makes it harder.

423
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 9: So we have to really delete entire agencies.

424
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Any of them clearly, clearly true.

425
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: And I heard it described last night on MSNBC comparing

426
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: government workers to weeds. You know that sort of thing.

427
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: Shut up and that is the proper response. But other

428
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: than is you know, renaming himself Harry Balls. Every time

429
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: I hear him talk, it's in very measured, reasonable tones. No,

430
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 4: we need to look at these agencies and go through

431
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: the books and see what they're accomplishing, whether they're you know,

432
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 4: the employees, all the employees are needed or not. How

433
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: is that not completely reasonable?

434
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: Well, when you see the response that is frantic and

435
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: illogical and fake civil rights. See you understand that it's

436
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: not about principle. If it were, you know, you'd be

437
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: one hundred percent right. There's no way to object to it.

438
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: All of the things he've said on this topic have

439
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: been one hundred percent reasonable and patriotic and smart and

440
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: the rest of it, which just shows you the true

441
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: nature of politics.

442
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: But what's legal and all that sort of stuff, I

443
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 4: don't know, And that'll get worked out in the courts

444
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 4: now and again, what Trump defies the courts of constitutional crisis?

445
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: He has stated specifically he will abide by the court

446
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: rulings and they'll fight in the courts.

447
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 2: He's set it out loud.

448
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 4: But you still have a roundtable on CNN, And what

449
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: will we do if he ignores the courts?

450
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: He just said he's not going to.

451
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: Do fine, you know, I wanted to get into the

452
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: whole fake who we're having a constitutional crisis when jd

453
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: Vance tweeted the other day that we will not allow

454
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: the judiciary to essentially intrude on legitimate executive power, and

455
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: everybody went crazy on the CNN panels, Jack's talking about

456
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: and was talking about how oh Trump's going to defy

457
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: the court. So that's a construtional crisis and the rest

458
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: of it. When what Vance said is, well, it's the

459
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: stuff of a Yale law student. No, he was saying,

460
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: there are legitimate provinces of discretion within the executive branch,

461
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: and we plan to exercise them, and if a court

462
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: limits us, we will fight that and we will win.

463
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: So it was a testament to respect for the system,

464
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: not defiance. I mean, you really had to stretch to

465
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: interpret that is. Yeah, let John Roberts come over here

466
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: and enforce his s himself.

467
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: Is that's not what he said.

468
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: It all trying to figure out what's going on with

469
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: the giant aircraft carrier, the Truman, that crashed into a

470
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: pretty good sized ship in the Mediterranean Sea, and it

471
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 4: just happened like in the last hour or so. We're

472
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: broken last hour or so. I hope it's another not

473
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 4: another black eye for the Navy where it looks like

474
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: we don't quite have her act together, like has happened

475
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: a few times in recent years.

476
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: Again, maybe it's a timely warning before the pooh has

477
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: hit the fan, we realize, hey, we're going to sharpen

478
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: up this, that and the other that's true. Maybe Pete

479
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: Haggszeth will get to the bottom ll if we're not sharp.

480
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 4: It'd be better to find it out now than when

481
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 4: we try to stop China from taking Taiwan or something

482
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 4: like that.

483
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: It's undeniable that the captain of the aircraft carrier's career

484
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: will be over unless it's a really, really weird circumstance.

485
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: On the other hand, the guy and the other ship,

486
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: how'd you miss a twelve hundred foot vessel? Right, it's

487
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: as big as a skyscraper. What are you doing in

488
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: the way?

489
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: So I saw the headline yesterday people are rushing to

490
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: buy chickens around the United States, And then I googled

491
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 4: it and I started to google rush to buy chickens

492
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: to see and a whole bunch of different headlines came

493
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 4: up from Chicago and Seattle and you know, name wherever

494
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 4: in this in the country where people are buying chickens

495
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 4: because egg prices are so high and you're all.

496
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: Of a sudden going to be a chicken farmer. It

497
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: just seems like a lot.

498
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you need eggs that much?

499
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: I don't know. You must need eggs more than I do.

500
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: But Michael, I know how busy you are. But how

501
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: many times have chickens been mentioned in the last week,

502
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: And there's one particular clip that has not been played,

503
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: not even once. Jack back to you.

504
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: Well, when I went to Google rushed to buy chickens,

505
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: the suggestions that it put up there, you know, because

506
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 4: Google gives you. The most popular chicken related questions currently

507
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 4: being asked was why are so many people buying chickens?

508
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: Really a lot of you google that, h So you're

509
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: aware that people are buying chickens. You're not aware that

510
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 4: egg prices are up where you feel like to inquire

511
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: and you feel like you're missing out. All my friends

512
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: are buying chickens. Is this the hot thing? I feel

513
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: like I feel like I got.

514
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 2: That's uh foamk fear of missing chickens. Yeah, I don't know.

515
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: That's that's very odd, that's very meta, that's very Internet age.

516
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: It is it is. Yes, Michael, we do have.

517
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: The infamous uh chicken clip.

518
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: Here you go then on Fox five, Sky Guardian and

519
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: then check that seven day.

520
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 2: To make your weekend glance.

521
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: It takes a tough man to make a ten to

522
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: forecast nick.

523
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: Chicken. Okay, I'll do.

524
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 4: We continue.

525
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: It's so stupid.

526
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: Let me continue. Did we ever nail down why he

527
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 4: said that or precisely what he said? Was that an

528
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: unnecessary censorship? No, that was real, but he actually said

529
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: it right.

530
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually said he wanted to say plucking.

531
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: But he.

532
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: Dropped the F bomb. That's a that's an odd mistake

533
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 2: to make. I've been doing this job for men many

534
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: years and I've yet too fumble the ball quite that serious.

535
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 4: Now that I know he actually said that, I would

536
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 4: like to hear it again so I can hear how

537
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: they all react and try to move on. Then on

538
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 4: Fox five Sky Guardian and then check that seven day

539
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: to make your weekend plans.

540
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast.

541
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 6: Nick, okay, we continue.

542
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: So the other guys, okay, I'll do that. You can

543
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: hear because the way it's bleep, we've got the f

544
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 4: in there, so yeah.

545
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's legit.

546
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 4: You go to commercials Okay, hey, Jim, what the hell

547
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 4: was that?

548
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: Oh? You know, well, and you'd think, wait a minute,

549
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: did I just hear that? Last night, I'm sitting there

550
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: with my son who's visiting, along with my oldest daughter.

551
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: The youngest soon to arrive. Uh and uh and and

552
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: Little D texted me a question and I answered it,

553
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: Nah an age and uh, that's my youngest daughter de lady.

554
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: And I glanced down and I was like, wait a minute, wait,

555
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: what did my brain just do because it looked like

556
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: my iPhone wanted to autofill an n bomb? What And

557
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, wait, whoa wait, I didn't. I didn't

558
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: imagine that. That's too freaking weird. And so I did

559
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: it once or twice more, and for some reason, like

560
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: the third time I did it, it tried to autofill

561
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: nagger the infamous South Park bit, south Park bit, but

562
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: yeah it actually I typed nah, and my iPhone tried

563
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: to say nager, so an expression I have never used

564
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: in any concept, any context except describing the infamous South.

565
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: Park right boy?

566
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: No like that. No, I was shocked. And again it

567
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: must have been like here in your coworker, drop an

568
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: F bomb? You'd be like, did I see? Did I

569
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: hear that?

570
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: Have you had any experiences like we were talking about yesterday?

571
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: Of the AI suggestion replies to long text, I had

572
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: another one last hour, having fairly lengthy text conversation with somebody.

573
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: It was like it suggested. I say, I'm sorry to

574
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: hear that, maybe it'll work out or something like that.

575
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is a heartfelt conversation. I shouldn't be

576
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 4: just taking your suggestions of how to continue it.

577
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: It's weird. Yeah, Tim Cook. Maybe there are people who

578
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: actually want real human interaction removed from their lives completely.

579
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm not one of them. I think that's really one

580
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: of the only things worth living for, so I'll I

581
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: handle it. Thank you. Wow. I don't know how I

582
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: feel about it.

583
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 4: If I find out somebody's responding to me, if I

584
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: send a heartfelt, complicated dealing with kids or marriage or

585
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 4: whatever it is, and I find out the replies were

586
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: just I just went with the AI suggestions.

587
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: Jack, You'll live through this, You'll gain wisdom from it,

588
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: and you'll value these years. Trust me on that.

589
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: Don't be a nagger, and I'll say, hey, thanks, that

590
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: really helped me in a hard say.

591
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

592
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: I just pressed send.

593
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: I didn't even look at it, but I'm glad to

594
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: hear it.

595
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Come on, We'll finish strong next time, arm strong, hetty.

596
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 10: I'm saying, isn't just a jilly famous Presidente Margarita.

597
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: Jilly says, my god, I know I'm sanging out man and.

598
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 9: A great sound.

599
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: Frances say, song promoting.

600
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: President Margarita. And it's as good as any actual pop

601
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: song because it.

602
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 10: Says or click one hundred percent. It's one hundred percent

603
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 10: as good as Humphrey hips. It's the most I don't

604
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 10: know when the last time music was this homogeneous.

605
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: I suppose as it always was, but no, no, no, no.

606
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 8: No no.

607
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: I ought to write a lengthy piece, it would be

608
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: like a thousand words if it's for National Review. It'd

609
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: be ten thousand if it was for the Atlantic. But

610
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: talking about how there was absolutely creativity and some anarchy

611
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: and just wild explorations within quote unquote pop music for

612
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: a while. But it's a commodity that's fairly valuable in

613
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: the marketplace, and so it became commoditized. And now it's

614
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: just it's like corn.

615
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: But you don't think like O wheat future, but you

616
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: don't think it makes its way through different genres like

617
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 4: I feel like all ninety early nineties hip hop sounded

618
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: exactly the same. And then there was a period of

619
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 4: like in the seventies, there was the kind of music

620
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: it was all sounded the same, and.

621
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: Oh sure, yeah, and then somebody breaks through, whether it's

622
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: Nirvana or Elvis or whatever, and then quickly the corporate
