WEBVTT - Potatoes on the Back Burner 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.320 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:24.680 and Jetty and now he arm Strong and Yetty. The 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:30.240 Fox around random loveby Wenby was calling for the ALU. 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.680 Right there, Fox gets the two on one with Anthony 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:33.800 Edwards being the low man. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:39.360 He's above the logo Jerry west Man. If you've missed 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.960 out on watching Wemby the French Kid for San Antonio playing, 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.159 I saw the power rankings the other day. They had 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.320 him as the third best player in the NBA's twenty 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.320 two Wow. She's pretty young. He's gonna be around for 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.080 a long time. He looks like he could break in half. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.640 I think that's why he elbowed that guy in the 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.440 face the other day. He got kicked out of a 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.520 game flagrant elbow. But I think it was one of 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.280 those you ain't gonna push me around. Oh yeah, don't 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.720 think I'm weak. Yeah, don't think I'm soft. I get 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.480 that physical game. God it is. Yeah. AnyWho, that's from 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.280 the NBA playoffs. I just saw a thing up on 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:17.200 the King Charles was addressing parliament for some reason, and 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.280 there might be a new election there and the Prime 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.240 Minister might go anyway. King Charles was there at Buckingham Palace. 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.880 I didn't know they did this. He was sitting on 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.440 the throne, a throne, I suppose it the duath throne 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:35.240 is sitting on the throne reading the newspaper. I did 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.440 not colloquially like like it's a toilet, actual actual, like 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.520 like like like in an old timey movie throne. Sure 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.400 it looked exactly like it, like Henry the eighth And 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.400 he's on this big, giant gold throne with plush red pillows, 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.480 and he's got this giant cape around his shoulders. Yeah, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.280 and a big freaking crown on his head. How did 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.920 they still do that? I don't I don't like the 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.040 whole king thing at all. But you call him a 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.840 king and he wears a suit and he you know, 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.200 he speaks to Parliament now. But the actual sitting on 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.320 a throne with a crown, how do you hang on 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.880 to that? And the big fur cap that. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.480 I know, especially because I'm reading Tim Sanderfers Fabruary. Somebody 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.400 get me a couple of units. Better get me a 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.280 couple in case the first one gets fired out. What 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.760 do you get it there, making me a new unit 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.640 I wanted to sing. Later for me, I say, yeah, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.440 especially I'm reading Tim Sanderfer's wonderful book Proclaiming Liberty, and 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.640 the early part of it has to do with the 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.079 relationship of the colonies and the crown in parliament and 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.400 how England, you know, went through a couple of kings 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.800 and beheaded one and ran the other one out of town, 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:50.200 and then there were big disputes about how much power 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.320 they ought to have versus parliament, blah blah blah. So 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.480 for the longest time, maybe forever, they've been like, what 0:02:58.680 --> 0:02:59.880 is a king anyway? 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:01.800 What I mean, we. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.320 Gotta have one, right, everybody knows we got to have 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:05.800 a king, but we don't know what he ought to 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.720 be really or do, and so get rid of it. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.040 But Tim is on the show tomorrow be talking about 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:12.960 his book, among other things. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.040 Oh, fantastic, excellent. I just thought that looks so ridiculous 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.800 he got the crown on come on. Speaking of leadership, 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.440 the Vegas state in the Union cal Unicornia trying to 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.680 elect a new governor because the old one is termed 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.880 out and wants to be the president even though he's 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.520 a Potts and the Democratic Party in a one party 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.040 state of hacks has turned out some pretty uninspiring choices, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.200 including the current front runner, Javier Bessera, who I'll tell 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.680 you more about in a minute, but he utterly undistinguished 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.160 his congressman. He's a handsome guy and he's reasonably well spoken, 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.200 but did nothing as congressman. Inexplicably, he was a named 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.960 state attorney gen did nothing but sue Trump and then 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.680 became Health secretary in the Biden administration and was, according 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.240 to Biden officials, a complete embarrassment. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.000 So why wouldn't he run for governor? We talked about 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.160 that political piece from last week in which they are 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.120 quoting all kinds of former Biden people saying, I mean 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.760 they're laughing behind the scenes and slapping their forehead. This 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.360 guy's going to be the governor of California. He doesn't 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.719 know anything about anything. And the way you know this 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.920 is true, and it didn't even occur to me until 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.839 it was pointed out by Politico. He was the secretary 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.760 of HHS during the biggest pandemic in a century, and 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.720 he was a nothing. You have no memory, I have 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.720 zero memory of him saying or doing anything. Ever. He 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.880 was a non entity when his department with the biggest 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.320 budget in America he had no role in the pandemic. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.120 That shows you what a nothing he is. And he 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.760 might be governor, that's hilarious. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.560 Yeah, they described him as an embarrassment at briefings and 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.560 that sort of thing. Kelly, he's the front runner. And 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.560 we'll get to some great audio in a second or two. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.240 My phone. Oh yeah, sorry, Joe's got my phone. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.720 I was going through it making him take all the 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.400 nudes of me out of there so better not be copies. 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.840 So we're about to play this clip of Javier de 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.000 Sarah sitting down for an interview. And I saw this 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.200 online yesterday. And David Axelrod, who is the campaign manager 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.400 for Barack Obama, so he knows a little something about 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.760 running for office and politics and democratic politics. He said 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.479 as HHS secretary during COVID, but Sorri rarely was the 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.200 administration's point person in communicating the American public on the pandemic. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.400 This may be the reason why. Here's what it sounded 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.680 like in the interview yesterday. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:51.599 So he interviewed with Annie Rose Ramos for KTLA five 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.640 in Los Angeles, and this is going completely viral. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.599 It's ninety and ninety one. Let's go with ninety first. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.119 Michael, this is the start of our interview with Javier 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.479 Bassetta in Highlight in Park. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.080 By the way, this is a profile piece. This is 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.240 not a gotcha piece. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:04.480 Right. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.960 Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.880 It's in order to learn about you as a candidate. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.240 So why is about the profile. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.400 I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:14.000 to begin the. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.880 Interview the way I described profile is you talk about 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.920 all the things that I've done, things I want to do, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.520 and along with some tough questions, but not only tough questions. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.560 Wow, so he's begging her for a softball interview while 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.840 the camera's roll and he's getting killed for this. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.320 How weak is that? 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.760 Even the New York Times as be Sarah rises in polls, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.279 he draws fire for trying to direct interview, and they 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:42.920 saw pedal it in the New York Times. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.760 How humiliating. It was your point about it being a 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.120 one party state. So everybody that rises to you know, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:54.960 a high level in California. You're in a one party state. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.880 You're never challenged by anybody with a compliant media. Yeah, 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.440 and so The same thing happened with Katie Order the 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.719 whole you know, we're shit cut off that interview and 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.839 got all angry and everything like that was basically the 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.080 same thing, like why are you? Why are you asking 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.280 me hard questions and treating me like a politician? Here? 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.400 Do you not understand how this works? Yeah, you do 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.400 a profile piece, i e. 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.280 A puff piece about all my accomplishments, right, and don't 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.120 say anything that's going to make me look bad. That's 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:21.920 the way it's been my whole life. Why is it 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.040 changing now? Yeah? 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.720 Aside from and I swear this is true, it's not hyperbolic. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.120 I'm not trying to be persuasive or bomb chucky or 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.760 anything like that. Aside from you know, just general some charisma. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.360 The only thing you need to gain high office in 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:43.280 California is to check the boxes of acceptability to the 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.560 big unions, the public employee unions and nurses unions, et cetera, 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.760 the teachers' unions, god knows, and the trial attorneys, among others. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.640 And as long as you pledge that you will faithfully 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.040 execute exactly what they tell you to do, you will 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:03.360 be anointed, uh whatever the office happens to be. I mean, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.560 Kamala Harris is the proof beyond proof of that. Yeah, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.320 but how could you rise to the level that this 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:16.200 Javier Bessera is and like be completely he you haven't 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.160 ever seen on television people running for big offices and 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.440 doing interviews and having to answer questions. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.360 Yeah, have you never? You've never encountered that in your life. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.440 He comes off as a simple tea. It's like a child. 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 This is a profile piece, right, You're just supposed to 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.880 talk about my accomplishment. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.520 Well, a profile pieces when you talk about the things 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.280 I want to do and what I've accomplished. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.640 Yeah, I'm a professional reporters. Annie Ramos is thinking, I'll 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.400 ask you what I want. Plus you the fact that 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.680 you are unaware that the press might lead you, because 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.959 Joe and I have run into this many times in Argurist. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.240 They are all friendly and like and that sort of 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.640 stuff and try to get you to say stuff and 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.560 and hurt you or or come up with something that's 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.280 exciting that people will want to read or watch exactly. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.560 But how is he completely aware of that? Well, because 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.440 of the reasons we just said, he's had nothing but 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.600 puff pieces is whole light, right, But don't worry it 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:11.240 gets worse. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.120 During your time as Anxious as Secretary, a New York 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.400 Times investigation found the Health Department couldn't find some eighty 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.400 five thousand children it had released. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.720 That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.320 First, that's what I'll say, because it was never the 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.160 case that we could not find kids. You're essentially I 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.560 don't know if you've got those talking points from Donald Trump. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.120 It's from a New York Times article. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.760 That's not what the New York Times article said. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.080 The New York Times said that individuals the children and 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.760 their sponsors did not respond to cause they didn't say 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:42.680 we couldn't find. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:48.439 Kids working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machineries and factories, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.160 children as young as fourteen years old. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.000 That part occurred after these children had left the care 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.800 of Department Healthy UMIs services. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.240 Do you let these children go into those individual sponsors 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:01.839 in their responsibility? 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.640 Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.560 some money, started working places that were very exploited. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.920 During your time as Anxious as Secretary. A New York 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.760 Times investigation found the hell to part. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.640 Yeah, that's where it's started to repeat. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.680 So she was making the point, so you released them 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.040 to their sponsors who put them to work in roofing 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:30.040 and slaughterhouses. Well, yeah, during the giant open border. It's 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.400 almost surreal looking back on it. We had a president 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.839 an entire administration that threw the border wide open. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.599 Yeah, without the specifics of what he's talking about. In 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:46.079 both of those clips, he talks like Frosty the Snowman. Yeah, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.520 this is a profile piece, right, he have a magic hat. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.960 He is what they used to call back in the 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.079 day when people used fancy words. A mediocrity is undistinguished 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.679 in any way other than being handsome and an absolutely 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.400 loyal lackey of the powers that be. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.800 In the state of California. Wow, and he was looking 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.720 like he's going to be governor. But I wonder after 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.520 this stuff went viral because there's a lot of Democrats 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.679 fighting it out to be the other candidate other than 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:16.360 Steve Hilton. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:21.720 Katie Porter is beside herself with Clee right now. She's 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.480 put the boiling potatoes she's going to throw on somebody 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.400 back on the back burner. She's thinking things are shaping 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.400 up well for me. She went on the golp one 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:31.520 she lost a bunch of weight. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:37.240 Good for her health, get out of my I think kitchen. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.160 I heard an NPR piece yesterday where they had a 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.400 bunch of academics and experts on and why the jungle 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.640 primary system is a terrible idea. That is what we 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.839 do in California. In some states, were the top two 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.920 vote getters coming up here in a couple of weeks 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.800 run against each other for governor, even if they're both Republicans. Well, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.400 they put it that way so that they thought they'd 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.040 never have a Republican running at all, that every cycle 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.040 it'd be two Democrats running against each other. There's basically 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.280 we're a one party state. Where are we going through 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.320 this charad? It's the illusion to choice China. Why are 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.560 we going through this charad of having a Republican run 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.640 against a Democrat when we all know it's going to 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.400 be a Democrat. He might as well have the two 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.120 best Democrats debating it out, But then this time around 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.880 it might be two Republicans. So they want to do 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.920 away with it. It's unfair and leaving a bunch of 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.800 people out of the conversation. And okay, almost like Vladimir 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.959 Putin is the Secretary of State or something. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:36.319 So this Dan Schner, who's a longtime political analyst, teaches 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.400 it to UC Berkeley, USC been following him for years. 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:46.400 He says, candidate for governor California shouldn't just expect gotcha questions. 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.320 They should welcome them and thrive on them. He added, 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.520 given questions that have been raised on his ability to 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.600 handle high profile pressure situations, this is not what he. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.040 Needs right now. Yeah, obvious he's a punk and he 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:03.920 sounds like Frosty the Snowman. Without the substance of what 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.520 he's talking about. I don't know what's going on here. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.840 That's that's what he sounds like. I know we're running late. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.320 Michael play ninety egan real quick. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.760 This is the start of our interview with Javir Brisetta 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.560 in Highland Park. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.200 By the way, this is a profile piece. This is 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.080 not a gotcha piece. Right Well, look, I think these 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.079 questions are fair. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.000 It's in order to learn about you as a candidate. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.360 So why is about the profile. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.520 I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:28.120 to begin the. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.000 Interview the way I described profile is you talk about 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.960 all the things that I've done, things I want. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.520 To do and along with some tough questions, but not 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:37.880 only tough questions. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.320 By'm melting my corn cup pipe. This is a profile piece, right, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:14:02.280 What an embarrassing thing to say birthday more They No, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:03.200 I don't think we. 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.400 Need any help with Iran well, one way or the other. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.160 Tonight, President Trump says he can handle Iran alone as 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.880 he heads to China for a summit with President She 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.680 in Beijing, noting though that China is the largest buyer 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.079 of Iranian crude oil. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.240 We're gonna have a long talk about it. They get 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.800 a lot of their oil from that area. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.000 We've had no problem, and he's been a friend of mine. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.640 He's been somebody that we get along with. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.000 And I think you're. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.480 Going to see that good things are gonna happen. I 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.240 don't know how this isn't going to be more of 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.520 a sticking point. They're the China's the number one purchaser 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.920 of oil from Iran, and Trump has been kind of 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.400 YadA YadA YadA ing the whole thing as he goes 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.160 over there. I just can't believe how this isn't going 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.680 to be like the only thing President She wants to 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.960 talk about. Hey, what's the deal? Get that straight opened up? 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.040 Trump's gonna say, hey, go buddies with Iran. You open 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.480 it up, it's your oil. Yeah, we're fine. Interesting to 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.240 see what happens there. You're talking yesterday a little bit 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.520 about how Trump went on a spree of late night 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.040 truth social posts the other night, like he often does. Yes, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:13.200 he had fifty five messages between between ten fourteen pm 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:18.520 and one to twelve am. Not at all unhinged. I 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.840 don't think he's unhinged. I just think it's do you 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.000 think it's the way way he is at the end 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.000 of a long day. He's just got a whole bunch 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.480 of things rattling around in his head, and rather than 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.680 keeping to himself, he blasts them out to people unhinged, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:40.120 including retweeting someone a cat turd who's a very popular 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.000 Twitter guy, delightful moniker, Yeah, disgusting. Trump retweeted arrest Obama 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.720 the trader, I mean, the sitting president. Tweeting out that 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.400 a former president should be arrested. You would think would 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.080 make the news, but it doesn't anymore, just because people 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.120 just roll their eyes. So that's where we are. Yea. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.240 As they write in the Wall Street Journal, Left the 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.520 sun went down two nights ago, another familiar ritual began 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.960 late night social media posting, the president's truth Social account 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.360 posting fifty five messages. It's not unusual to have that many. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.880 He has twelve point six million followers on truth Social, 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.960 which is a way smaller number than he ever had 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.960 on Twitter. Uh, because not as many people went over 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.160 to truth Social. Monday was one of forty four similar 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.280 spates of a dozen or more truth Social posts published 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.600 between eight pm and six am since he returned to 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:33.840 the White House. The record is one hundred and sixty times. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.920 Back on December first, he posted one hundred and sixty 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.920 times no after eight o'clock at night. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.720 Many of them retweets or retruth sound but I mean 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.080 that's extraordinary. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.200 And it means he's sitting there sifting through social media, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:50.880 which is full of crap. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:56.720 Retweet just crap, comment and retweet yeah, retweet now wild Yeah. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.280 Has Obama been jailed yet? I haven't been following this, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:04.480 he retweet Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi's former top staffer said 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.440 Nancy Pelosi planned January sixth for two years. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.400 Lock her up. Trump retweeted that the other oh my god, 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.320 not really him. Okay, we got more on the way. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.040 Interesting story about a public school. You're gonna want to 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.919 hear Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.600 The therapy platform Rula announced yes today that is partnering 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.240 with the Van Lewin to provide people with a free 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.320 therapy session plus a scoop of ice cream. It's just 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.760 their way of getting you accustomed to the idea of 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.720 being manipulated by your therapist. 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.680 Follow up on story we did before the commercials. Wall 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.360 Street Journal had a piece on Trump's late night postings 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.439 on truth Social and Hanton pointed out to me that 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.359 the article, apparently I didn't read far enough down, included 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.199 that Trump has a young woman that works for him 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.639 that does a lot of the posting. But that doesn't 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.800 make sense, because why would you hire somebody to post 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.960 late at night and not all day long. The bursts 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.840 of them being posted at night almost have to be him. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.320 and he famously stays up late. He's alone in the room. 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.400 You hired somebody to post stuff while you're up flipping 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.080 through the channels. I don't know if I'm buying that. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.480 I think it allows you to. I mean, I'm sure 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.040 he probably does have an employee of that, but I 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.880 think it also allows you say, if something goes really wacky, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.720 I didn't post that, right, Yeah, And I've told that 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.359 person under no circumstances ever again post that we should 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.720 be arresting former presidents. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.840 Yeah, she brings him. I guess lots and lots of 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.160 stuff that he could. 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.680 You know, Rea, maybe that's maybe she's she cons through 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.960 the stuff. Yeah, and then he posts them. I'll bet 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:45.800 that's what's happening. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:50.639 Yeah, Yeah, not uncommon social media assistant. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:57.879 Anyway, if you have a kid in the San Francisco 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:03.960 Public School District, they are about to learn the privilege 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.480 wheel in one of their classes. In fact, it's mandated now. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:13.080 And there's a lawsuit involved about a year long ethnic 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.199 studies course that was just permanently adopted by the San 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.520 Francisco Unified School District. Oh my, there's a letter from 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.360 the friends of Lowell Foundation. So. Lowell is a private 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.919 school that's pretty famous in America in the Bay Area 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.240 for being like the best of the best, smart kids 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.760 in America. And there have been various efforts over the 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.520 years to do away with the meritocracy part of it, 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.800 like open it up to it's like. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.200 A magnet high school. It's a public Magnet High School. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.760 But there's been a lot of pressure to open it 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.399 up to underprivilege this and people who can't score as 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.240 high on that as opposed to just keep it. No, 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.320 these are the smartest people in America. We want the 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.359 smartest high school kids in America. Period. Yeah. Anyway, so 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:57.840 they're suing the public school district for allowing this to happen, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.520 which I think is pretty interesting, and they I pointed 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.240 out that this seven million dollar program has been adopted 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.159 largely concealed from concerned parents. Let's read a little bit 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:12.440 about what it is, the privilege wheel, which sorts students 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.439 into an oppress or oppressed framework based on this wheel. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.400 This is what the wheel looks like. I'll read from 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.280 the wheel, isn't that fantastic? Round to multicolored, looks like 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:25.000 a wheel. Children are being sorted, labeled, and instructed according 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.280 to race based ideological frameworks that no parent consented to 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.600 and then no reasonable reading of the federal civil rights 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.520 law permits. According to a civil rights attorney who is 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:39.480 suing the San Francisco School District, and every ninth grader 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:40.280 and it's. 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.520 The entire school year class every day you have this 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.160 class calling harm meat Dylan, calling har meat Dylan. 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.600 But so the way the wheel works is right in 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.000 the center of the wheel is the word power. And 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.159 then if you go to the very outside, you have 0:20:55.200 --> 0:21:05.000 a bunch of different categories wealth, housing, body size, mental health, sexuality, ability, 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:11.160 skin color, citizenship, gender, language, And as you get closer 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:17.120 to the inside, it gets closer to power. Yes, and obviously, well, 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.600 the closest to the power is if you are an 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:34.359 English speaking rich kid, cisgender, man us citizen, white, able bodied, heterosexual, yes, neurotypical, robust, slim, 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.639 and your parents own property l eight out of ten 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:41.880 in bad Well, you're not slim, acusing, not terribly robust. 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.000 You're the closest to power. And then you would they 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.720 would put you in one group there in the classroom 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:52.440 right and throw crap at you, call you terrible names, 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.640
