WEBVTT - Her Bones Are Locked Up!

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty Armstrong and Jetty

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and Key Armstrong and Jetty.

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>But when I see CNN all night longer trying to say, well,

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe it wasn't really as demolished as we thought, I

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 2>think CNN or to apologize to the pilots of the

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>v twos. I think that msdnco to apologize. I think

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>these guys really, these networks are these cable networks are

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>real losers? You really are? You're you're gut list news

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>is I say that to CNN because I watch it.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I have no choice. I gotta watch that garbage. It's

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 2>all garbage. It's all fake news. But I think CNN

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>is a gutless group of people and the people that

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>run it nobody even knows. They's been sold so many times.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>But the people that run it out to be a shame.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>MSD is a guy named Brian Roberts.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>He heads it.

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>He's a disgrace, he's a weak, pathetic discroll.

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>In earlier he said CNN is scum, which is my

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 3>favorite comment.

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>That he made today. See that ritable bum.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 3>AnyWho, some reporting from some of these scumbags he doesn't like.

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Here's a little of the news around what's been going on.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Questions remain about the fate of Iran's enriched uranium processed

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.639
<v Speaker 4>at Fourdoh after the Iranians claimed they moved it before

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 4>the US attack. Satellite images from the day before the

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 4>US strike show unusual activity a line of trucks seen

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 4>on a service road. The International Atomic Energy Agency now

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 4>warning nearly nine hundred pounds of iranium uranium enriched to

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 4>sixty percent near weapons grade is unaccounted for.

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 5>Ashola Ali Hammoni has not been seen for almost two

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 5>weeks in public. Now speculation about ways hiding Israel in

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 5>the US, as you know, say, they're not trying to

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 5>change the regime there. They're raising questions where is he

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 5>to nys and what would happen if you were killed

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 5>in one of these attacks.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>So those are two pretty interesting ongoing threads of this

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>whole story, the missing nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.279
<v Speaker 3>and the missing Ayatola.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 6>Right, what I'm feeling is just as far underground as

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 6>he can get. You think he's sitting on the uranium somewhere.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 6>That's possible, I suppose, but he's I think he's just

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 6>in deep cover.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 3>What about so some journalists bad ones are using the

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 3>whole The uranium was moved before the attack as a

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>sea We didn't need to do that, or it was

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 3>a bad idea, or it was.

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>A failure or whatever.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 3>You had to be scum that that is scummy because

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 3>those places needed to be destroyed, so that can't continue

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>to enrich uranium obviously. But yeah, we ain't got to

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 3>figure out where that is now, was it, Marco Rubio?

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Something might have been? Mark Rubio said, Israel's got to

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>know where it is. I mean, they've got people on

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 3>the ground. They they they're monitoring where trucks are going

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 3>and all that sort of thing.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know.

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I've been completely mystified today. If you're just tuning

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 6>in by Trump's reaction to Israel continuing their attacks to

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 6>the very last possible moment before the alleged cease fire.

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 6>In fact, as long as we're discussing it, Michael, let's

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 6>hit Sorry I scrolled past it, Uh, just hit forty

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 6>one b.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Have We basically have two countries that have been fighting

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>so long and so hard that they don't know what

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't get how Trump doesn't understand. No, is It's real,

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 6>has a mission to accomplish, and they haven't yet accomplished it.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>So they've got a little more to do.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 6>And imposing a ceasefire now because we've knocked out foordoh

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 6>or whatever. It just they haven't finished the job. I

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 6>just I think you mentioned earlier that Trump is just

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 6>so much about doing business and making money and hey,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 6>let's all get along and your people can be prosperous.

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 6>And why would you have him live like this when

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 6>we are offering that he doesn't get Islamic fundamentalism and

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 6>he doesn't get the need to finally end Islamic fundamentalism

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 6>or at least its capacity to do harm and Iran

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 6>by Israel.

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>So they're referring to a ceasefire in all the headlines.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking up at the cable news channel, So there

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 3>is a ceasfire currently going on.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 6>I wonder if that's just till BB can get Trump

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 6>on the phone and explain himself.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 3>Now, you had the report earlier from somewhere that Trump

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 3>actually told BB he turned some planes around that we're

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 3>headed to do more bombing.

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, yeah.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 6>There was the phase in of the ceasefire, and allegedly

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 6>BB had some heavy stuff heading toward Iran and Trump

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 6>said no, no, no, turn those planes around, which I

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 6>just I am completely mystified by.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh, well, it depends what. It depends on where Iran is.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they're they're in full surrender mode. I mean they

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>get they've I don't see how they've got any choice.

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 1>What is your choice.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>You're completely defenseless, you have no air defense, you've got

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 3>no air force, you've got you've got nothing.

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, I I returned to the singum that Iran's posturing

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 6>can't be believed, it can't be trusted. So they are

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 6>in surrender mode. You've disarmed your neighbor, your your murderous neighbor,

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 6>from his machine gun and his shotgun. And he say, look,

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.039
<v Speaker 6>fight anymore. Just let me hold on to my buck knife.

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 6>And you're saying no, no, I'm going to blast that

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 6>buckknife out of your hand. I don't trust you for

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 6>a minute. That's where Israel is, So no, I don't

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 6>trust them being in.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.679
<v Speaker 3>You're in Neo khon you and John Boltman, Lindsey Graham

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 3>should just go fight every nation on earth.

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.119
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, we had a meeting last night and drank

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 6>the blood of the innocence.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>It was great. So I want to make that point.

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 6>I have two other straight points I've been wanting to

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 6>make then into some really great analysis. Number One, everybody's

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 6>talking about the B two's and the thirty seven hour

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 6>round trip and the rest of it, and it was

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 6>masterful and fantastic. But I must stand up for the

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 6>force that was, as they say, unseen and unseen America's

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 6>Submarine Service, which unleashed Holy Hell from under the ocean,

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 6>and they are wherever they need to be, lurking unseen

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 6>around the world. And by God, you should sleep better

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 6>at night knowing the submarine services doing what they're doing.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 6>Second thing, once in a while, you have a soft head,

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 6>say you can't bomb an idea, you can't kill an idea.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.559
<v Speaker 6>And I heard the point made, and I can't remember

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 6>who said it exactly, but the idea that has animated

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 6>the Mullahs in Iran and the Revolutionary Garden everybody else

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 6>to a large extent, is the idea that the righteous

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 6>victory of Islam over the Jews and the evil doers

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 6>is within reach, and we are going to clean the

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 6>earth of the scourge of the Jews from Israel. That's

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 6>step number one, and then our righteous Islamic revolution will

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 6>take over the whole world.

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But there have been other movements.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 6>Like that that have been bombed out of existence or ended.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 6>The commentator I'm thinking about cited the Pan Arab movement

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 6>of the middle part of the twentieth century, mostly the

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 6>second half. Naser was the great look him up, was

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 6>the great leader of that. But when they all ganged

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 6>up on Israel in the sixties and seventies and got

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 6>their asses whooped, all those touch and go there for

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 6>a while, that just went away.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>And one of the most important things mankind.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 6>Could do is nip that whole radical Islam is going

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 6>to take over the globe idea. Nip that in the

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 6>bud and put some round up on it. Anyway, and

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 6>wanting to say that finally got it out. These people

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 6>have know what does Trump say there? They know they

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 6>don't know what the f they're doing.

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 2>They don't know what the they're doing.

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 6>See, I think they know precisely what the f they're doing.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Elliott Kaufman wrote a piece recently, Benjamin Nett and Yahoo

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 6>versus Kasim Solamani. You may recall from the headlines and

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 6>Trump's first term. Yeah it's got blue eyes. One blew

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 6>over there, the other one blew over there, as the

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 6>old wow, terrible tasteless joke goes. But just before he

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 6>got snuffed a video made by one of his fellow

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 6>commanders talking about his life's work, and Solomoni said, I

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 6>have assembled for you six armies outside Iran, and I

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 6>have created a corridor fifteen hundred kilometers long and one

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 6>thousand kilometers wide, all the way to the shores of

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 6>the Mediterranean. Any enemy that decides to fight against the

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 6>Islamic Revolution and against the sacred regime of the Islamic

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 6>Republic of Iran noticed those were two different things. The

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 6>Islamic Revolution blah blah blah, will have to go through

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 6>these six armies. It won't be able to do so.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 6>Yet Israel did, Rather than nip around the edges of

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 6>solomoni strategy, Jerusalem has fought Tehran on its own terms.

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 6>Of Solomoni's six armies, only the Huthis and Iraq's popular

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 6>mobilization units have escaped. After the October seventh massacre, Israel

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 6>fought through Hamas Islamic Jihad Hesbalah, wiping out their leadership

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 6>and slicing up their mislarsenals, leaving the Asad regime and

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 6>Sereal to crumble without support. Oh me, I want to

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 6>get to the fact that Russia, which has sworn allegiance

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 6>with Iran, is like, hey, yeah, yeah, I got to

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 6>take a call, Well, I'll call you back, and is

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 6>nowhere to be found. And suddenly Iran didn't look so menacing.

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 6>Israel could focus on the state and nuclear programs, seeking

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 6>its destruction without worrying about thousands of rockets a day

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 6>from Iran's proxies. Then President Trump could enter to remove

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 6>all doubt. And that's where we are. Let them finish,

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 6>for the love of humanity, let them finish warmonger.

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh in some cases, yes.

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And then I am a hardcore preserve the peace

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 6>through strength so that everybody can live and prosper and

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 6>raise their children in peace.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 3>You're one of those people Tucker Carlson was warning me about.

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Tucker Carlson who said that if we attack Iran,

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 6>I want to make sure, I get this right, and

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 6>Iran has power allies. The first week of war, and

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 6>Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans.

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>It could collapse our economy.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 6>As oil prices surge to unmanageable inflation and trigger unmanageable inflation.

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Iran has powerful allies, said Tucker.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 6>It's now part of a global block called Bricks, which

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 6>represents the majority of the world's land mass, population, economy,

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 6>and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia.

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 6>It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil experts to China.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 6>Iran isn't alone. An attack on Iran could easily become

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 6>a world war. We'd lose.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, So if that were true, he thinks surrendering to

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 3>it preemptively would mean that we didn't lose.

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>It. Seems like that that would be announcing we've lost.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 6>I have no idea, or is it just all these

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 6>guys despised Jews. I mean, because is Tucker's favorite fake

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 6>historian Darryl Cooper put it, we should commence air strikes

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 6>on Tel Aviv immediately. Wow Wow, he said that, And

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 6>then he said, unlike Iran, Israel's primary strategic goals involved

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 6>getting American servicemen killed.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Wow, So was Tucker okay with h Iran getting a nuke?

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 3>Kind of a why do we get to have them

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 3>if they don't kind of got.

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 6>He is big on moral equivalency these days.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 6>I don't recall him saying anything specifically about that.

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 1>He may have. Man, that's nuts. So, oh, what's that

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>thing you leaders kill people? Right, Tucker? What's that thing

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you got coming up later that I'm so excited about?

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 6>Oh my gosh. Yeah, it is so interesting. A gigantic

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 6>new study. It's over sixty thousand respondents of mental health

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 6>broken down in all sorts of different ways, age, income, education,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 6>sexual orientation, and political stances. And one side of the

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 6>aisle is way more miserable than the other. Analysis on

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 6>why that is so interest we'll have that for you

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 6>at the bottom of the hour or in a little

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 6>bit if you're listening to the podcast in the future.

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I just came across an interesting thing, Chuck Todd said

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.199
<v Speaker 3>to Jake Tapper about the Biden family. That's still a story,

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess somewhere, but it's interesting. Among other things we

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 3>got on the waistair here.

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 6>Strong.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yet the only thing I do is I exercise faithfully.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 6>I don't eat red meat.

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I like the plank. It's fun.

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 7>Everybody should just.

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 8>Held the plank.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 6>I'm a lot younger than her. Red I chant you

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 6>that be kind, be happy, be fearless.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a hundred year old woman can hold a five

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 3>minute plank. Osteoporosis, your bones lock up. It's not hard,

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 3>it's not what that is.

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You're fool. I was gonna go with you. You're going

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to be light. She's really light. You're stiff as a board.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I've seen old people.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 6>That's a stupid thing to say. I'm just avow what

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 6>he just said.

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I just avow. I think that's the advantage. She's got

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>one hundred.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 6>Year old lady doing a five minute plank. Well, you

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 6>already say, though, people who get really really old, you

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 6>go one up two directions. You get here a fat

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 6>old person, or you're a super skinny old person. I'm

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 6>guessing she's one of the super skinny old people.

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>See only two choices. Yeah, it's unfortunate.

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 6>Speaking of the flower of American womanhood, this clip is

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 6>something else. Mom is in bed, flipping through her phone,

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 6>doing something on her phone. Her son is talking to

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 6>her and recording it all on his phone.

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this not getting no job.

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 7>If you go get a job, they're gonna take my

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 7>section eight. Then you won't be able to get no

<v Speaker 7>If you have a house, any of that, they're going

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 7>to take.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:26.880

<v Speaker 8>my own Section eight.

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 7>Okay, but if you do that, you're gonna have to

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 7>go the hard way. It's gonna take a long.

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>So what that's what I'm saying.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.960

<v Speaker 7>help us.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 6>I'd be played for every high school kid in America

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 6>that exchange. And lest anybody think for a second that

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 6>since these are black folks, this is about race.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's a horror. He's a hero standing up to

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>his mom like that.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 6>If I had a job to offer that young man, hell,

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 6>I'd put him on management track and offer him a

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 6>stake of ownership.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>To have the courage to call her out like that.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, no, I don't want to live like that.

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>We have created a culture dependency.

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 3>And then you've got that whole welfare cliff situation where

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 3>sometimes if you tried to get out of your situation.

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 3>It would do you more harm than good, at least

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 3>for quite a while. Right, it's obscene.

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>It is obscene.

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 6>There have been brilliant, brave black activists who've talked about

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 6>your slaving away on the government's plantation.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Stop it become independent. Yeah, that's terrible. That was a

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>disappointing thing to hear right there from that woman.

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 6>You know what, I thought it was life affirming. I

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 6>thought that the kids attitude is fantastic. He's got great

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 6>mental health. You know who doesn't. Bisexual progressives, the happiest

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 6>and most miserable people in America? Coming up, Negs, Armstrong

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 6>and Getty.

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>A couple of quick.

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Headlines before Joe tells us how crazy we all are

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 3>based on a new study. And maybe we'll expand or

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 3>expound either on these stories. Here in a little bit,

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Trump responding to democratic threats to impeach him, tweet it out,

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 3>go ahead, make my day. Ice has just nabbed eleven

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 3>uranium migrants, including suspected terrorists, as border patrol warns of

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:43.679
<v Speaker 3>possible sleeper cells.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 1>That's a big story. Where did we grab them? Do

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 1>we know? Well, we'll stay tuned for details. By Golly

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't say yeah, we'll get to that later.

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Trump has been officially nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 3>over the Israel Iran ceasefire. And the Trump was just

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 3>asked this on the plane he's on the way to

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 3>the NATO summit right now, about the fact that Putin

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 3>has volunteered to help with the Israel Iran conflict. He said,

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't need help with Iran. I need help with

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 3>you about Putin.

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Okay, I like it.

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 6>We learned not long ago how easy it is to

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 6>nominate somebody for the Nobel Peace Price. I'm going to

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 6>nominate my dog Baxter. Neemed to be more aggressive toward

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 6>other dogs, and he's less aggressive now.

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why this isn't reported more often. Yet,

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 3>anybody practically can nominate you from the Nobel Peace Prize.

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean anything.

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 6>Really, we're still waiting for our nomination. By the way, folks, hello, anyway,

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 6>we'll cover the cost. Do you do the paper. We'll

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 6>pay the fe So this is so interesting. I came

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 6>across this the other day. A couple of scientists writers

0:18:53.720 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 6>commentaries who ran into each other after the one published

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 6>a piece on why young men have turned against the

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:09.400
<v Speaker 6>Democratic Party, and this other guy, this other researcher said, hey,

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.199
<v Speaker 6>you know, I've actually been doing studies in that area.

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 6>Let's get together and talk about it and compare notes.

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And they came.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 6>They've come out with a really, really interesting report. Young

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 6>people in general report fairly miserable mental health, with high

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 6>rates of anxiety and depression. But this is particularly true

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 6>for young women. And they make the point that assumptions

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.479
<v Speaker 6>democrats make about how to attract younger voters may not

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 6>appeal to men for various reasons.

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But they point out that this.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 6>That it the one report they looked at very the

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:49.719
<v Speaker 6>most interesting finding, which is that conservatives have much higher

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.120
<v Speaker 6>self reported mental health than liberals.

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Is this surprising to anyone?

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 9>No?

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 6>No, The really interesting part is still to come self

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 6>reporting grain assault, but just a grain, not a shaker.

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Why. I don't know on self reporting on your mental health.

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 6>It could be that in certain communities it is taboo

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:16.879
<v Speaker 6>to be honest about.

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Your mental health. I think it's more likely the other.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Direction, but yeah, I'm just trying to be fair that

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 3>in more communities it's the greatest prize of all to

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 3>explain how I have anxiety and depression and OCD and

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 3>all these other things.

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 6>I agree with you completely, and I'm glad you pointed

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 6>that out.

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah.

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 6>It's a wide gap too between conservatives and liberals, according

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 6>to this giant study with sixty thousand respondents that provides

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 6>the opportunity for highly detailed democratic demographic analysis.

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Among people who report excellent.

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 6>Mental health, conservatives outnumber liberals fifty one to twenty as

0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 6>a ratio, but liberals outnumber conservatives for twenty five to

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 6>nineteen among those voters who say they have poor mental health.

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 6>This isn't the least bit surprising to me. What's interesting?

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 6>And they assigned points, so one hundred points scale zero

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 6>is poor mental health, twenty five is fair, fifty is good,

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 6>seventy five is very good, one hundred is excellent.

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 3>I think, I go, what would you say for yourself?

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm going I would say very good. Oh, there's quite

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 3>disagree with me, you who know me, But I feel

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:32.879
<v Speaker 3>like I'm very good.

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Can we have a round of rating where we

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>rate each other too?

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 3>I have in a town full of people who are crazy,

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 3>so it helps me stand out.

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, are you graded on a curve? In

0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>this I don't know.

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 6>So here's the first thing that popped into my mind

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 6>is and part of the reason I leapt to this

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.720
<v Speaker 6>thought was because we came across an absolutely fantastic quote

0:21:55.720 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 6>which I've misplaced, damn it, that women more than men,

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 6>not all women, but women in general, and like effeminate men,

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 6>filter information through a process not of is this true?

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 6>But will believing this gain me social currency and acceptance?

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 6>Will the group accept me for adopting this attitude? And

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 6>so the first thing I thought was, Okay, maybe people

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 6>of an unhappy or mentally fragile bent need more support,

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 6>and so they tend toward liberalism. Well, it's funny I

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 6>had that thought, and the guys immediately got to the question.

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 6>They said, could this reflect a spurious correlation? In other words,

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 6>that voters with characteristics associated with lower happiness tend to

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 6>be attracted to liberalism, but that political attitudes themselves don't

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 6>tell you much on their own.

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>In short, no, they're right, or at least probably not.

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 6>The difference between liberals and conservatives is remarkably persistent, even

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 6>once you control for those factors.

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Then, they explain, going to.

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.359
<v Speaker 6>Give you a long chart with those point values that

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 6>I talked about. The average American self reports at sixty

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 6>on the scale, somewhere between good and.

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Very good mental health. But that's roughly where I would be.

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 6>But liberals report an average score of fifty three and

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 6>conservatives sixty eight. Moderates not shockingly right in the middle

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 6>at fifty eight, anyway, they take advantage of that's a

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 6>moderate for you, always moderating anyway, take advantage of the

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 6>large sample size in this CEES study. Let's see how

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 6>this difference holds up against a wide array of demographic

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 6>and political characteristics. Let's see gender men tend to be

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 6>conservative men at a sixty nine giggity liberal men of

0:23:55.960 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 6>fifty six. Conservative women up there at sixty six liberal

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 6>women way down at fifty one.

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Average mental health score.

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 3>White folks, that's I realize what you just said about

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 3>all these things. But man, because I'm surrounded by this world,

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 3>you would really stand out as like you might be

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 3>kicked out of the herd if you were to say,

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think I'm perfectly fine.

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:34.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, whereas I live in a world of hey, we're

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 6>all here for you. Have a drink, you'll be fine,

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 6>and most people are. Let's see black in his or

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry. White, Black, and Hispanic and Asian conservatives are

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 6>virtually tied at sixty eight sixty eight sixty five sixty five.

0:24:54.520 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 6>Liberal white, Black, Hispanic and Asians is fifty two sixty

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:06.159
<v Speaker 6>fifty one fifty one, like a fairly consistent fourteen point gap.

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 6>Young people age gen z that's ninety seven or later,

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:17.400
<v Speaker 6>it's fifty six to forty gen Zers. Liberal gen zers

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 6>are among the most miserable people in America. The older

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 6>you get, the highers, the scores get on both ends

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 6>of the scale, and we could get into education that

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 6>sort of gen zers report the most.

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's tough to break all this stuff down. And

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 3>I realized they tried to control for all these things.

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 3>But I can't imagine being a twenty year old in

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of your blue cities and telling your parents nothing,

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm fine. You wouldn't want to disappoint your parents like

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 3>that by telling them you don't have anxiety or depression

0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 3>or any of those things.

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, your parents are horrified.

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 6>I know several young people, some of whom I may

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 6>be genetically related to, who are seem to be very bright,

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 6>very well adjusted, happy with their lives, but have some

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 6>of these modern emotional problems. And it makes me really curious,

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 6>as we've discussed many times through the years, what environmental

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 6>causes are going on? Is that the never ending barrage

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.879
<v Speaker 6>of inputs, that's my greatest suspicion.

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so yeah, we're never quiet, we're never alone, we're

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>never bored.

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 3>You're right in presenting this information, we're kind of or

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.200
<v Speaker 3>I was kind of presenting it like this is all

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 3>somewhat imagined. But we have talked a lot about it,

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 3>and I know, I got one kid who has for

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.159
<v Speaker 3>real anxiety depression OCD, all that sort of stuff, and

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 3>it's been struggling with it his whole life and on medication,

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 3>and I've seen a gazillion psychiatrist and doctors and blah

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 3>blah blah. So yeah, there's something going on that is

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 3>causing problems, right, Yeah, So separating out that the real

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 3>from the just culturally, you live in a town where

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.120
<v Speaker 3>everybody's supposed to have some of this stuff because life

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 3>is so.

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 6>Hard and the world is so bad if you're keeping

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:22.120
<v Speaker 6>track at home. Just for the record, Jack came to judge,

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 6>Joe came to.

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Understand damn right, I came to judge.

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 6>And then brag about it. So let's be fair. I

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 6>bragged about it anyway. Uh So this is as I.

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.439
<v Speaker 6>As I mentioned last segment, the most miserable pastards in

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:41.360
<v Speaker 6>America appear to be progressive bisexuals. If you are bisexual

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.159
<v Speaker 6>or other, and apparently there are some conservatives there at

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 6>a fifty nine, which ain't great. But if you're a

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 6>progressive bisexual you're at you selfrate yourself at thirty five,

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 6>for which I mean, like, by far the most miserable

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.199
<v Speaker 6>people in America. I heard one prominent lesbian writer. I

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 6>read her right, Well, what do you want? These people

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 6>want everything from the world, both sexes. You know, everything

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 6>goes with a How can the world not disappoint them?

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Hm?

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I know a lot of baristas that

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 3>meet that description, and they look unhappy. I don't know

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 3>that that's our facial expression anyway.

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and their voice Uncle fry vies. Interestingly, people who

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:31.199
<v Speaker 6>have high interest in news and politics on both sides

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 6>of the aisle tend to be more happy with their

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 6>mental health. Really yeah, I'm somewhat surprised by that, because

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 6>it's enough to make you insane. Trust me, I do

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 6>it for a living huh, and it declines low news

0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 6>and political interest significantly lower on both sides.

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Wow hmm.

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 3>So they just take in the information about the world

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 3>just kind of the way they hear it from people

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 3>and get despondent over it.

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, having more income does seem to make you more

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 6>positive about your mental health. That could be the other

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 6>coronation correlation.

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, reverse, Yeah, you're much more likely to make more

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:22.479
<v Speaker 3>money if you're mentally Okay.

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 6>No meaningful difference in mental health between Catholics, Protestants, and

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 6>adherents of other organized religions. The differences between liberalists and

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 6>conservatives persist there, but religious adherence does soften them somewhat.

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad to see there's not a big breakdown between

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Protestants and Catholics.

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.000
<v Speaker 6>Married people and people and well, I know you want

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 6>to start another Holy Warrior A big fan of Joan

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 6>of Arc. But married people and people in domestic partnerships

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 6>are happier than those who are separated, widow, divorced, or

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 6>who have never been married.

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 3>That has been true for as long as we've been

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 3>doing radio and reading these studies that married people tend

0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to report being happier more than single people, which is

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 3>interesting given that so much of the single world looks

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.479
<v Speaker 3>at married people is like, I'm glad I'm not in

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 3>that prison, when statistically that is not born out at all.

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, not at all.

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 6>It's interesting they phrased it as happier when it's self

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 6>reported mental health. I'm not sure those are synonyms, but.

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess they're close. I make they're pretty close.

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, those are the main takeaways. Why are young

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 6>liberals so depressed? Matt iglas about.

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>You'd be depressed to what part of it? The weird

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>hair color and the thing through their nose, couple old

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>white men.

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 6>I can't stand it, And he points out, Jack, you'll

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 6>be gratified by this that there may be a.

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Performative aspect to this.

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 6>Yes, liberals may express negative sentiment as a sign of

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 6>solidarity with the movement that thinks there is profound and

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 6>justice in the world. How can I act happy with

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 6>all this injustice?

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't. Everybody will judge me.

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 3>You think you could walk into your hipster coffee shop

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 3>where you're a barista and there's like nine other employees

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 3>and be a everything's fine. You know, life is what

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 3>life is. I just I roll with the punches. You

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 3>think you could be that person?

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, good days, bad days.

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 6>What are you gonna do. Let's make some coffee, right,

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:27.720
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna be drummed out. Let's just see what Trump did.

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god, it is so clearly a fascist dictatorship.

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Right to live. I've considered moving to Belgium. I couldn't

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>find a parking spot because of the patriarchy.

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 3>We got more on the way, all those new stories

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned among aple things on the ways to hear.

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 10>Tonic Driving is announced it will offer a pickle rita

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 10>slush made with a pickle juice flavored boba after asking

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 10>themselves what is the absolute worst thing you could.

0:31:58.560 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Spill in your car?

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 3>No kidding, so you asked the question, I brought you

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 3>the headline. Ice grabs eleven Iranian migrants, including suspected terracets

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 3>as border patrol warns of possible sleeper cells. So this

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 3>happened over the weekend in eight states. So I don't know, Like,

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 3>if they had their eyes on a bunch of people

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 3>and decided with the bombings, now is the time to

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 3>make sure these guys are rounded up, That's probably what happened.

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Could see it yeah, but lots of different places. Yeah,

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that's probably it.

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they got the names of all these people,

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 3>and you know, they're going through them one by one

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 3>however you get to them. But somebody probably decided now

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 3>might be a good time to grab any of the

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 3>illegal Iranians, since we're gonna grab them at some point anyway.

0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 6>Especially if I don't know if they have a point

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 6>scale or can auto a sort them or whatever by

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, crimes committed or final order of deportation in

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 6>place or whatever. But they thought, yeah, who can we heave?

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 6>How about these guys?

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Under the Biden administration, more than seven hundred Iranian migrants

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 3>who crossed the border illegally were released into the United States,

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 3>according to border records.

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, beautiful, that's a.

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Small number compared to the overall, but yeah, so who

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 3>knows what those people are up to? Speaking of Joe Biden,

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Chuck Todd still talking to Jack Jake Tapper. Chuck Toddy

0:33:28.040 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 3>used to be on Meet the Press. Jake Tappero wrote

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 3>the book about Joe Biden. Nobody cares about that story anymore.

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 3>It's gone and it's for historians to discuss now. But

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.479
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was kind of interesting. And they were

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 3>having a conversation Todd and Tapper about the Biden family lore.

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 9>Look, I mean, you know, you and I covered, you know,

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 9>for most of our professional lives. The story of Joe

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 9>Biden was this guy cared about his family so much

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 9>he commuted home every night from Washington. Now here's by

0:33:56.840 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 9>the way, here's the by the way. You know what

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 9>else you could say? Is this man so ambitious? Right

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 9>after his uh family went through that tragedy, he commuted

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 9>every day to work right right, Like it's the same story.

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 1>His sister help read. I don't I sit here.

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 9>I look at this and the and and and I

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 9>think where we sold a forty year bill of goods?

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but how about that?

0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Finally getting to that conclusion, Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper,

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 3>where we sold a forty year boat bill of goods?

0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 3>On the whole my word as a Biden or my

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:31.879
<v Speaker 3>family's the most important thing to me. Uh, you spent

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 3>many hours on the train every day. Well, your sister

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 3>raised your kids so you could claim you're a working

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:43.720
<v Speaker 3>man because that was part of your whole shtick. Yeah,

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 3>you didn't have to do that. Yeah, Biden's just a phony.

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 3>He was always a phony. Well I don't think people

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 3>knew that. I didn't know that.

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 1>No, No, it's become more and more clear.

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 6>Uh. Speaking of presidents of the United States, Donald J.

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 6>Trump is the current one. What the former ambassador of

0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:07.400
