I think it 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:06.479 was us? 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.280 Could be yeah, yeah, you may be right anyway, Yeah, 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.600 the Israel has a history of being above all surprising. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.600 Biden and Yahoo talked for the first time in weeks yesterday, 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.760 this on the heels of the Woodward Book leaks that 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.440 have Biden calling bb nettan yah who blankn a hole? 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.360 But you know, the politicians know that each other calls 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.440 themselves that they all know that, right. You don't rise 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.440 to that level of politics without expecting many, many people 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:40.640 to call you those kind of names. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.959 I think, oh yeah, yeah, or yeah please. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.720 The guy was like special forces right to combat Yeah, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.440 and a veteran of the brutal Israeli political scene. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.840 It's like, yeah, yeah, anyway, that's what my mother calls me. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:54.400 He's thinking. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.720 Here's a little more on the report of how that 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:58.520 phone call went. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.160 I guess the US has been pushing for a strike 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.360 that is symbolic and avoids sparking a larger war, according 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.840 to Israeli sources. With that President Biden had his first 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.239 phone call with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.560 Yahoo since August. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:16.040 The two leaders were able to have a productive, straightforward 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.560 on his conversation, as they tend to do. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:19.959 I don't have anything beyond that. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.840 Of course, Biden's pushing for a strike that's symbolic. It's 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.760 in his genetics to just never do anything with any 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:29.880 umph whatsoever. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.720 All right, Wow, if he. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.079 Had been president, ben Laden would still be alive. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.000 Oh yeah, one hundred percent, yeah, and Israel would be 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.680 besieged on all sides far worse than they are now. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.960 And Zelenski would have left Kiev and be in a 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.560 hotel somewhere. Romanda Dorohn would have the bomb. Yeah, all 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:55.239 these things are pretty documentably true. Yeah, that is sort 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.760 of thing. Maybe it's just being a man or whatever, 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.880 but that sort of thing is just, oh, finding so annoying. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.120 Just the we better not do anything, We better not 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.120 do anything every single time. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.880 Right, Occasionally that's a good idea. This occasionally that's the 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.560 smart thing to do, but always. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.800 No, Joe Biden has been wrong about every major foreign 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.800 policy issue for the last fifty years. It's fifty five now, 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.760 by the way. A couple of developments in the Middle 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:30.680 East of note Yaya Sinoar, the lunatic, the violent megalomaniac 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.360 who is in charge of HAMAS now he's the guy 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:38.520 who organized the October seventh attacks and is now fully 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.600 in charge of HAMAS, has sent a directive to senior operatives. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.240 Now is the time to revive suicide bombings. They had 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.280 not done that for about twenty years. Wow, but there's 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.120 already been One guy's bomb went off prematurely before he 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.200 could kill any Jews, but he had posted in a 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.480 video released later by the group. Quote, what bling it 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.800 is that my bones become shrapnel that blow apart the 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:10.120 usurping zionist jew Jews. He said, that's a perfectly sane 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.160 way to look at life. And then this the US 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:20.400 season opening to sideline Hesbola politically in Lebanon, the whole ceasefire. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.880 We don't want to escalate thing. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.760 I don't know if Joe Biden has become so old 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.160 and senile now that he's not really a factor, But 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.479 the other leaders like Blinken of the Foreign Policy Team 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.599 are saying, look, Hesbela is so completely weakened. They are 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.080 so disruptive and destabilizing. Lebanon doesn't have a chance with 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.039 Hesbola being like the biggest, most important political party. Maybe 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.880 now we empower the other guys in Lebanon to try to. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.320 Stabilize the country. So they're making a big effort at that. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:48.680 Right. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.479 My reading of New Cold Wars by David Sanger, with 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.479 all the behind the scenes on the Ukraine stuff, mostly 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.760 is that Blincoln is much more AGGRESSI have been Biden. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.400 Is Biden is holding back his secretary of State as 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.560 opposed the other way around. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.400 Yeah, yeah, Now I'm not very optimistic about the idea 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:14.839 of bringing stability and democracy functioning democracy to Lebanon. But 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.760 you know, I, having observed the last thirty years of 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.080 Middle Eastern policy, I'm pretty damn convinced that you just 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.200 are so big and scary nobody messes with you. Is 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.160 the only thing that works in the region. You know, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.280 have a shot at getting rid of Hisbola by all 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.839 means they're evil, they're disgusting, their maniacs. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.800 Yeah, there's lomist scum. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.200 I was listened to a great podcast the other day 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.000 that included some historical views of this that it's just 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.240 so easy to forget because the world has been stable 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.040 all of our lives, right, everybody listening, your whole life, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.000 the world has been this kind of stable. The only 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:57.560 reason there's ever any stability between countries is because one 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.279 or more of them have has the power or to 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.480 keep it that way that if you tried to change it, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.400 you would get obliterated. That's the only reason it's stable. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.240 If China could take what they wanted to take, they 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.520 would have. If Russia could take it, they would Many 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.040 many countries if they could take something, they would The 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.360 only reason they haven't is because they would be obliterated 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.240 by the United States or NATO or whoever. Right, that's 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.040 the only thing that keeps things in places. Force, And 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.960 you've got so much of a crowd out there that 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.320 doesn't believe in force. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.000 Right, They're uncomfortable with it for reasons of I mean, 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.839 they have lovely hearts, but they're misguided. And that doesn't 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:45.160 excuse any sort of military adventurism or neoconism or anything 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.760 like that. No, you build up awesome, terrifying power and 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.960 then you use it extremely judiciously. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.520 One more thing on that before we switch gears. I 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:00.560 was listening to No Comedy and Mirth to another thing 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.480 yesterday with a polyci person, historian sort of person talking 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.240 about there are eight billion people on planet Earth. There 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.240 are really only about two billion that live in liberal democracies. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.400 So there are way more people that either will or 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.480 at least hedge their bets on siding with the Rushes 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.600 and China's of the world. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.120 Sure, the regimes, the guys with the guns and money 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.800 in those countries. Absolutely, it's easy to forget we're the minority, 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.240 not the majority. We are the majority of power currently, 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:34.000 but not. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.760 The majority of people.

I think it's more 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.080 sad than funny. Yeah, he has one ability. I don't 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.920 have sleeps. He can sleep. This guy goes on the 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.880 beach and he lays down on one of those you know, 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.280 six ounces they weighed six ounces and you can't lift it. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:13.440 You know, they're men. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.880 They're meant for children, young people and old people to lift. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.240 They wait very little and he can't lift. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.960 And somebody convinced him he looks good in a bathing suit, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.760 and when you're eighty two, typically bathing suits are gonna 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:27.560 make you look great. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.719 You're not going to be enhanced. I can't be. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.440 Sure about that, but typically, you know, I don't know 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.240 what the hell he's backing, but I don't want to 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.800 and I don't want to know. I don't know, but 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.680 he has an ability to fall asleep while on camera. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:43.079 He can lie. 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.720 Down on one of those things and in minutes he's 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.960 stone called out and he's got cameras because he's a resident, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.160 so they have cameras on him. And then they show 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.720 him sleeping on the beach. Yeah, you'll never see me 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:55.839 sleeping in front of camera. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.319 That is well, that's a guy who's incredibly old that 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.840 can lay down there on the beach, age eighty with 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.640 your belly hanging out and everything going on in the 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:07.920 world and just doze off. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.920 Yeah, in the middle of the day. He's nearing the end, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.560 God bless him. Yeah, but. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.840 He's ready to go for another four years behind the scenes. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.080 I can't even keep up with him. Signed everybody in 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.240 July or signed everybody still now. If they hadn't had 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.760 that debate, possibly. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:30.600 Yeah, I don't know. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.640 As I was predicting for like a year, solid year 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.760 and a half that there's no way he could be 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.160 the candidate because the trend line was just clearly going 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.320 to be below the Mendoze line. I'm just saying they 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.640 might have been able to hide it for another I 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.880 wonder that would have been that would have been a 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.959 hell of a deal to observe. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.960 A boy in a parallel universe. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.560 I would like to watch how that would have played out, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.720 because it would obviously have been become increasingly difficult to 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.200 hide the fact that he was so out. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:00.600 Of it and increasingly hilariously desperate on the part of 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.400 the mainstream media and the Democratic establishment to continue to 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.000 claim that he was fine. I kind of feel like 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.200 I missed out on a real comment. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.640 I know, I agree that would have been good. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.920 Joe Biden can't lift the little aluminum chairs that you 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.240 sit in. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.839 Say it's made for a child and old people. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.400 But he can't lift a quick on air meeting. 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.480 Because I just saw Bill O'Reilly on the screen, Hey Hanson, 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.880 we got to get O'Reilly on, Bill O'Reilly on. So 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.240 I was talking to our boss and I hadn't checked 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.160 out Bill O'Reilly's latest act. Do you remember the last 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.679 time we had Bill O'Reilly on? Joe how that was? Yeah, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.760 it's vaguely okay. So we had Bill O'Reilly on shortly 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.600 after he left Fox, and he did his usual Bill 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.560 O'Reilly thing where he just bulldozed us and would let 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.880 us talk. And I got freaking mad. I hate that 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.680 my name's on the show, not yours. Bill O'Reilly and 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.920 I get to talk. So we haven't had him on since, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:12:00.560 but apparently his new thing is way different now that 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.240 he's free from Fox. And our boss said, oh, it's 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.760 a fantastic good guy's got to have him on. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:05.400 You'd love him. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.360 He's way close to where you are on the observation 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.720 of politics now and everything. So really, yeah, sounds pretty cool. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.720 I'd be willing to give it a try. We'll do it. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.880 Yeah, you don't think he's still you know, the hyper 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.320 confident bulldozer O'Reilly. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.079 I like Bill by the way. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.280 I enjoyed talking to him because I'm a genial and 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.360 welcoming fellow. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.520 But I'm not talking to anybody who doesn't let me 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:29.439 speak anybody. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:34.680 I hate that. But I think he's calmed with age, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:36.760 lower t or something. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:42.120 I don't know. He's pretty old, isn't he all? Very Yeah? Yeah, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:43.080 i'd and old. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.560 So we'll try him out maybe in the next And I, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.920 like I said to our boss, I said, that'd be 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.720 great have him on once a week as we lead 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.720 up to the election. That'd be fantastic. I always liked 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.120 his insights. I watched him every night. I mean that 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.040 was as regular as part of my daily news intake 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.960 as anything for like twenty years. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.360 Yeah, oh yeah, it was great back in the day. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.000 Talking Points says body language segment. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:11.800 We've got We've got more on the ways, stay here. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:11.480 Armstrong and Yetti. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.560 This is a Nintendo soundclock, Alarmo. Let's see what it's 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:24.440 like to wake up with alarmo. Oh do you hear 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.240 that the alarm is going off? But Alarmo doesn't just 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:36.640 play music to start your day, that's right, It responds 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.959 to your body's movement with game sounds. 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.000 All right, Alarmo is the worst name for a product 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.199 I've ever heard. Is that a parody? I can't tell? 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.880 Is that really respond to my body's movements with game sounds? 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.560 For real? Is that gratifying some way? Or does that 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:55.800 want to get off? I don't know. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.319 If you're a kid in your into video games and 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.360 hearing those sounds sounds as it sounds as enjoyable or not, 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.920 then the whatever other sound your alarm clocks making. I've 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.800 had one most of my life. That was I don't 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.520 know why I felt like I needed to be punished 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:10.319 first thing in the morning. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:15.080 I don't know, can we can we talk about the name, sir, 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.920 the concept I just don't really like alarmo. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.160 Yeah, I feel like we didn't spend a lot of 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:30.960 time on that. Timing is everything in life. It's a 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:36.600 common saying for lots of different things, meeting mister or 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:42.960 missus wright, or certainly buying a house, or or lots 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.880 of other things. I was just thinking of Garth Brooks 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.120 and what's going on in his life. This might be 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.640 a major moment for where we're going to settle as 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.080 a culture on the whole. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:53.640 Me too thing. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.160 But if this were going on, if that accuser had 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.600 come out at the height of me Too, all of 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.200 his mus would already be pulled off of every radio 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:08.080 station in the country, concerts would be canceled, and any 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.920 other thing else that you could do to Garth Brooks 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.600 would have already happened, true, don't you think? 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.680 Yeah, absolutely, it's like the height of the George Floyd madness. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.640 You dared not stand up against the neo Marxists, or 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.120 you're done if you don't know the story. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.120 He did anyway, by the way, But yeah. 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.640 More or less the kind of typical sort of story 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.280 hairdresser for him. That was actually his wife, Tricia Yearwood's hairdresser, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.600 and then she started doing Garth stuff. And now she's 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.200 claiming Garth was doing all kinds of horrible things that 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.080 some guys do, and some famous guys that I never 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.600 thought would do that have done. And so you never 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.320 really know a celebrity. Although it seems unlikely to me 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.320 that Garth Brooks at age fifty nine now whatever, he 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.800 has started living this sort of lifestyle and got away 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:57.840 with it all these years. 0:15:58.120 --> 0:15:59.680 But he's pushing back pretty hard. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.080 They put out the woman's name yesterday in a court 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.720 filing for depends on. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.760 Who you ask why. Some belief that it was the 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.440 pushback of it. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.240 You don't get to be anonymous and make all these 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.160 kind of claims and get away with it. And I 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:15.840 don't know, I don't know, but like I said, this 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.160 might be a we're gonna We went with always believe women, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.800 So anything the woman said always you just believed it 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.440 one hundred percent culturally anyway, and destroyed many many people's careers, 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.640 even if it turned out later to not be anything. 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.000 And then we've come back closer to sanity, and then 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:33.640 maybe we've gone too far. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.400 I don't know that this woman should be named. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.720 Is that's gonna stop a lot of people from coming 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.080 forward against anybody famous if you know your name is 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.600 gonna come out. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.840 Right, because there is a history of victims being ruined, harassed, 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.240 terrorized by the power, right. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.400 So I don't know if I dig that or not, 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.000 but I think this might you know, this might be 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.160 one of those things that gets Garth is very strongly 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.000 denying it and going to fight really really hard. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.920 Well, and he's been extremely frank about the fact that 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.080 this is an extortion attempt. She's been telling me to 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.120 write giant checks now for for a long time, Yeah, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.160 threatening me if I don't pay her off. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:11.800 Yeah. 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.359 And he came out with this story last week. That 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:15.800 seems to be the way to handle it. If you 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.800 get extorted. Remember Letterman did it many years ago. Came 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.520 out that night on the show. Look I'm being extorted, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.080 that she didn't know my wife. But I'm not going 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.440 to be extorted. Here's what's going on. And that helped 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.960 him a lot. Yeah, And that that and the and 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:30.679 the story is going to come out anyways, he might 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.879 as well get ahead of it. Also helps it helps 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.560 you look more innocent, right. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.960 I would agree, Yeah, yeah. This is one of those 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.000 examples of where your lawyer might tell you in a 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.720 loyally way not to approach it in a certain way, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:48.560 but you have to. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:48.919 Right. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.119 But if this had happened a few years ago, at 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.479 the height of Me Too, Garth would be ruined. If 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.040 you could ruin Garth books, I don't think you could 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.040 ruin Garth Brooks, but his uh, he would have. He 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.840 would have had no more cachet. He probably he might 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.320 might not have ever been played on country music ever 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.440 again on country radio if this had happened during Me Too, 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:05.320 which is crazy. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.000 Ron DeSantis is showing his metal down in Florida. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.320 We'll have some audio from him. Stay with us, arm 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:14.280 Strong and Getty. 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.080 We've got fifty thousand linemen staged ready for rapid power restoration. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.680 We also have a full mobilization of the Florida National Guard, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.520 as well as receiving a lot of assets from other states. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.480 Everything we've asked for, we've gotten. I've been working constructively 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.080 with President Biden. We're working, We've marshalled all state agencies, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.840 and we're working very constructively with our local partners. We 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.239 know what we're doing here in Florida. We prepare for it. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.760 Floridians can rest assured you're gonna have a very robust response. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:43.840 We've been ramping up for this. 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.919 We know there's a lot more ahead of us, but 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.760 rest assured, we have not left anything on the floor. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.000 We're going out with everything we've got to make sure 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:51.720 people are safe. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.360 You know what strikes me there, It's the same feeling 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.399 I had when we were at the convention and DeSantis spoke. 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.919 He sounds better there than he ever did while he 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.000 was running for president. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.840 Yeah, I don't know why that is. Yeah, it's frustrating. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:10.199 I know. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:14.040 Charlie Cook at the National Reviews, one of my faves, said, 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:19.439 if he just run like he ran for governor of Florida, well, 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.960 you know, the Trump phenomenon is the Trump phenomenon. But yeah, 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.120 it is a little frustrating if you're a fan of Disantus, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:29.760 and I am. He's just an incredibly competent guy. Hurricane 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.000 Milton did, in fact hit Florida, not as disastrous as 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.680 it could have been in the Tampa area, missed a 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.359 little to the south in the horrific storm surge that 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:44.440 was predicted for the Tampa area didn't materialize fully. I mean, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.800 it's unbelievable damage. There are three point two million people 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.560 without power right now, one hundred and twenty tornadoes in Florida, 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:53.399 quite a few dead. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.520 The reckoning has just begun. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.399 But I was absolutely struck by the interview he did 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:04.400 with Ronda Santus did with Brett Bher last night. This 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.960 is what leadership sounds like, and it's lacked in recent 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.200 politics in my mind. Let's go ahead with forty Michael. 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:13.920 What's your biggest concern at this hour? 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.359 Well, we want people to be safe. We've had a 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.359 massive evacuation. Most people heeded those calls. When you start 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.800 talking about ten to fifteen feet of storm serves, that's 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:23.720 just mother nature. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.240 You're not going to win that. But we are prepared. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.119
