WEBVTT - Interpretive Dance, Maybe? 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:24.759 Arm Strong and Katty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Only 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.520 when it is dark enough can you see the stars. 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.680 Let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.640 brilliant billion of stars. That's a little over the top 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.839 bright billion of stars. I didn't ship over your applause. 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.640 I didn't watch her speech. I just I read Donk 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.280 Jonathan Turlie, who we like, say he thought it was 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.720 gracious and great and what a concession speech should be 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.680 and consistent. Concession speeches don't matter at all. And they 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.840 just know, no, it was fine. They're for your supporters. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.959 They're for your supporters, so they feel like there's some 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.360 sort of I hate the term closure, but like end 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.160 to this thing after working and donating and all that 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.039 sort of stuff. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.200 I would like to make a very brief statement, then 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:18.240 I will shut up. Under disgusted, Joe Biden insisting on 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:24.720 running again was one of the most ridiculous, unpatriotic, selfish 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.039 acts of any politician in American history. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.800 Somebody will write the book, and I can't wait to 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.880 hear it. I mean, who was involved in that decision. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.600 Jill obviously pushed it. I mean we saw her. She's 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.560 the villain. She might be the number one villain in 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.959 the entire Joe Biden's story because obviously she's the closest 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.479 person to him, has the best idea of how bad 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.640 a shape he was in. And yet you answered all 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.640 the questions Joe. I mean, she was just gonna ride 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.280 that all the way into another term. You were gonna 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:58.640 let the world have that guy be the leader with 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.880 all the unrest we have on the planet. You're you're 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.120 willing to risk that so you could what keep having 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.560 that to the American people? Yeah, keep having the White 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.880 House chef access or what I mean. That's just uh, 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.119 she is the villain. Yeah, at some point she needs 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.160 to be recognized as the villain. He can't play Biden. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.040 I mean you just did. But I don't know how 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.640 well his brain worked. How well do how well do 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.440 people deep into dimension know they've got dementia? I don't know. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.160 And she forgot her hippocratic oath, not a real doctor, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:27.160 the doctor. 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.600 That's funny. And oh I read a piece from Tim 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.919 Carney I think yesterday who we like never donate money 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.680 to a presidential campaign, and he was using the chart 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.600 on how First of all, they outspent Trump a gazillion 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.400 to one in every swing state except Pennsylvania and lost. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.880 But they have plenty of money they have. Donate to 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.840 your local races. If there are people you care about 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.320 they actually need money, another billboard or ad could help them. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.800 But do not give money to presidential candidates. They got 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.520 more what even they know what to do with, which 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.359 is generally true. This is our favorite thing of the day. 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.320 We love to hate it. This is Jimmy Kimmel on 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:14.880 his show last night, being a complete psycho about his 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.160 read of the presidential election. Here we go, Let's be honest. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.960 It was a terrible night last night. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.200 It was a terrible night for women, for children, for 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.359 the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:34.760 this country go. For healthcare, for our climate, for science, 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.240 for journalism, for. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.840 Justice, for free speech. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.560 It was a terrible night for poor people, for the 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.880 middle class, for seniors to reliance, social security, for our 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.080 allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.120 The truth here you sing, dude. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.000 See and decency. And it was a terrible night for everyone. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.760 Who voted against him, and guess what, it was a 0:03:58.800 --> 0:03:59.280 bad night. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:00.720 For everyone who voted for him too. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.040 You just don't realize it yet. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.160 Oh nice condescending in there. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.800 Wow, so stunningly gullible, but follows it up with a 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.960 chaser of condescension, a really endearing couple of qualities. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.480 Yeah, he believes every. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:23.280 Single harum scarem threat made by his own side. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.279 Remember we had that couple day conversation of do you 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.280 think Trump supporters are garbage or are you just referring 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.120 to the one guy with the joke? You know, I 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.000 don't know what Biden had in his head, but clearly 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.680 the Jimmy Kimmels of the world think all the Trump 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.600 supporters are garbage or just too stupid to realize they 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:40.840 voted away their interests. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.960 Yeah, well they're such bigots they don't understand that they've 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.880 committed suicide. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:50.960 You're insane, dude, You're insane. Well, he's just he's gullible. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.839 I mean, he's breaking down and crying over is a 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.560 bad night for children, for women, for working immigrants who 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.440 overwhelmingly voted for true Trump. Also, I guess you think 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.240 they're stupid or evil against. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.719 Themselves explain the whole old people who depend on social Security. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.640 What in the world are you talking about. I would 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.960 like to know, point by point why he thinks it 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.000 was so bad for children. I mean, let's let's get 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.800 into the specifics. So why you're so emotionally I say, 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.679 trans children? Who will be judged? 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.280 No, who will be you know what? Gosh, dang it, 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.719 I've been holding on this forever. There has been another 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.440 study that shows the vast, fast, vast, vast, vast majority 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.600 of so called trans children grow out of it and or, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.200 as one professional put it, I can talk these kids 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.039 out of it in five minutes. It's just a crazy 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.760 notion that's in their heads and it's easily dealt with anyway. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.000 Back to you, it's such a terrible night for women, 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.800 for children, for working immigrants, to make this country go 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:56.480 for free stanch right the press. What are you talking? 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.920 I don't even know. I can't even imagine. You're crazy. Yes, Katie, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.719 I would just like to confirm as a woman, I 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.480 had a great time on Tuesday there. Well, there we go, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:13.120 folkswoman for all women right here. Total blast. I had 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:19.880 a total blast. Just I I don't I go back 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.440 and forth between Jimmy kimmeloll just mock because he's ultra 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.839 uber wealthy and his life is fine, So he's just 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.479 worried on behalf of everyone else, I guess. But for 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.640 for for regular people who are that upset, I guess 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.760 I just mostly feel bad for you that you've been 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.279 so misled by your friends or your college professors, or 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.160 whatever Twitter feed you're on or something TikTok that has 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.840 led you to believe that this is true. What are 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:54.320 you freaking talking about? Yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. God, I'd say, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.040 here's what's most interesting to me. I don't know how 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.440 many people remember what it was like after Trump won 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:06.880 in twenty sixteen. For the following hours, days, weeks, and months, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:11.680 there was a belief by the left and dominant media 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.640 played it this way completely that this was just temporary, 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.520 there was some sort of mistake made. Russia fixed this. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.440 It's a mistake. He'll be out of office soon, he 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.680 won't even be he won't even take the office. We'll 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.720 get this fixed before. I mean, that's the way it 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.040 was portrayed. Do you not remember that? Do you remember 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.680 Obama taking so much heat because Biden's going to invite 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.560 Trump to the White House here in like the next week. 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.360 Do you remember how much heat Obama took for no, no, no, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.000 don't let him come sit at the White House. That's 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.320 acting like this is real, this isn't going to happen 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.320 Saturday Night Live, acting like it was going to be 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.440 a shock when it turned out he's actually going to 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.760 be president, maybe even the whole time. Yeah, So that's 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.360 the way it played out in twenty sixteen. This one 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.520 is so different, even with the you know, despite Jimmy 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.760 Kimmel and the various things I saw on cable news, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:02.960 there's a full recognition Trump was duly elected by a 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.720 majority of Americans and is going to be president of 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.960 the United States. That gives him so much better a 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.600 start than he had last time around. I mean, it's 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.320 apples and oranges, because it was seen as like a 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.160 complete you're not buying this, are you? That Trump was elected? 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.480 Of course he wasn't Russian something. We're going to figure 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.160 this out before January twentieth or very shortly thereafter, and 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.960 he will be booted out. Well, none of that. This 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.920 time around. It's fully accepted as a win for Donald Trump, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.120 and I think that's going to help his chances of, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.920 you know, actually holding the office and doing anything so 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.880 much so the. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.400 Last time it was denial that it's real. This time 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.480 they've accepted that it's real. Andrew Sullivan, the brilliant conservative 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.720 gay writer, just wrote, purely anecdotally, my living dem friends 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.240 all united and condemning America for being racist and misogynistic 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.800 this morning. I really don't want to learn or even 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.640 think outside their box. It's gonna take a while to 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.559 program some of them. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.240 Yeah, Like I said a friend of mine who a 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.679 guy put his arm around her at the office and said, uh, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.560 I don't know how to Are you okay? She was okay, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.240 she wanted Trump to win, But uh, are you okay? 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.240 It's racism, is the only explanation, the guy said. Really, 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.839 you don't think the economy in the border might have 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.640 played a role, even though everybody said in every pole 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.040 those were their top. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.000 Issues, okay, including your favorite liberal publications. So if you 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.840 really don't know how to reach those people, I don't 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.520 know either. I don't know of dance. Maybe logic doesn't work, 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:49.560 so hey. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.480 Maybe this is actually more troubling if and it's always 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.760 hard to tell what percentage of people actually believe this 0:09:55.040 --> 0:10:00.400 If it's you know, all of Hollywood in that crowd 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.800 and then a handful of crazies in California, I don't know. 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.360 Do most liberals think it was racism or sexism that 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.600 caused Trump to win At the dominant media? 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.440 They do. Hey, here's a cheerier, more patriotic and note 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.560 for you. Warrior Foundation Freedom Station is celebrating their twenty 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.840 year anniversary.

It's the least we can 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:01.800 do after what they've given us. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.240 Now listen to the name because it's not the other 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:08.520 one that's kind of similar.

Many 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.080 celebrities have promised they would leave the country, but so 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.680 far none have been followed up on that. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.600 It would seem they usually do not. I came across 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.480 this article on MSN. I got it right in front 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.080 of me. They talk to a bunch of people who 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.360 say they're going to leave, and now you're not. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.960 Well, there's that, and it's mostly sad. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:52.040 It's mostly people who have bought the most frantic of 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.680 the rhetoric and believe it. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.640 Here's this woman. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.640 She's a Democratic activist from South Carolina, which has got 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.480 to be a fairly lonely life. She believes most Americans 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.080 are under estimating what was at stake. Quote, He's going 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.240 to turn this country into an authoritarian country. She fears 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.800 if he comes to power, violence will follow. He will 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.360 crack down on the media. Once we lose the media 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.080 where the people of the country, they are no one 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.319 because they have no knowledge of what's going on. So 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:20.439 she's going to move to Spain. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:28.840 Bye bye. Donald not worried about that. A couple of 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.120 interesting things. So Old Jack Smith is figuring out how 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.560 to wind down his cases because we have a long 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:39.520 standing tradition of this country of you can't whatever prosecute 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.520 charge a president, so there's no point in going forward. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:47.080 So those cases are going to go away. And the 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.600 Manhattan judge what was his name with the Hispanic lass name, 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:56.200 Yeah who judge and Trump's hushmoney trial considers tossing the 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.960 felt in conviction after the election win. I don't quite 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.280 understand why that would happened, but those I'll tell you 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:01.800 what I want. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.880 Why don't you just rest easy there, buddy, in your robe, 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.160 and let the appeals court explain precisely how horrendous your. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.720 Little trial was. All right, why don't you go ahead 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.760 and let that happen. You think he's trying to avoid 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.679 the embarrassment of getting the smack down of Oh yes, do. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.400 This, it's gonna be an epic two handed SmackDown too. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.959 Wow' gonna work him like the light bag. Thicke, a 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.760 thicke of a thicket, A thicke of a thicket. It's 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.840 gonna be glorious to see barbaric. You know, Elon got 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.240 involved in the Trump campaign because he wants to pare 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.280 down government, get rid of people that aren't needed and 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.800 programs that aren't needed. That whole thing could be really 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.720 interesting to follow, among other things. On the way, stay here, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.480 who is that that is? And how soon can it stop? 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:55.960 That is Jason Kelsey and Stevie Nicks in a collaboration 0:13:56.160 --> 0:14:00.160 for a Christmas album that will be coming out time 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.240 for the Holidays and apparently a fundraiser of some sort. 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.319 But I got no beef with the Kelsey boys. They 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.200 seem like nice guys, but man, I do not need 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.720 any more of them at all. Maybe y'all have endless 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.680 appetites for the on their hijinks. They signed that like 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:21.760 eighty million dollar podcast deal. I remember there was a 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.960 period years ago where I'd say, right, one hundred and 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.720 six straight days of having seen lynnon Manuel Morenda on television. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.040 I feel that way about the Kelsey's. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.240 Now, Yeah, well, I'm just happy for people who've been 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:40.320 dying for a Travis Kelcey Stevie Nicks duet which has 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:41.680 broad finally got in their way. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.200 Either way, Oh it's Jason so yeah, you know it's 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.600 a retired fat one. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.320 Singing with Stevie was an offensive lineman. All right, too 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:50.960 much judging. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.240 Ah boy, So coming up, Elon Musk is gonna be 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.760 in charge in theory of some sort of efficiency committee 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.200 to try to make government more efficient. Good luck. But 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.240 I mean he's as good as anybody I can imagine 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.200 to try to take that on some of the details 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.520 on the way in a little bit, And I'm sorry. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.440 Stevie Nick's a brilliant musician, songwriter, but she sounds like 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.800 a member of the Lollipop Guild at this point. She 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.520 sounds like a male little person singing that. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:24.840 Lovely yellow Rick Road, Yellow Rick Road. A little person. Yeah, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.200 I don't anyway. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.320 So I just came across this and I was actually 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.800 babbling with with with a shock and wonderment at it. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.520 The headline Chris Pratt, He's an actor criticized for statement 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.880 on Trump v. Harris election result. I'm like, okay, I'll 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.280 bite so Christ Pratt's US election results statement has explained 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.360 his absence from a joint Kamala Harris endorsement shared by 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.480 his fellow Marvel actors, The Guardians of the Galaxy Star 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.400 and ardent Christian military advocate has often been been described 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.480 as right wing, he insists he's on either side of 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:04.440 the spectrum. Bodes. Pratt's open letters led to consternation. Many 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.480 are rolling their eyes at the Marvel electors, particularly reserved 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.360 take on the outcome of the vote without endorsing Harris 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.920 or Trump. Pratt told fans he has quote trying to 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.479 make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.280 on both sides, urging people to unite as fellow countrymen 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.400 regardless of who wins. And he said it's okay to 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.320 take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.840 go ahead and cry in the mirror. Well, that has 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.360 brought hate and derision down upon him. That strong statement 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.000 of trying to say makes sense for people on both sides. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:38.040 Good lord, it's banal uh. Pratt is trying to make 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.960 this seem like this is any other election, like Obama 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.440 versus Romney, for instance, but is actually the most critical 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.520 election of my lifetime. What we do in this moment 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.720 matters very much. Seriously, Chris Pratt has on both sides 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:55.240 view on this election. Blah blah blah. Jeez, Louise so 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.040 among these freaking crazy people. Or a few minutes ago, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.680 I was saying, you know, I don't feel like judging 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:01.400 them and kicking them. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:02.640 I feel like understanding them. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.560 No, I'm back to judging and kicking these freaking crazy people. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.200 If you go so far as to say I think 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.320 both sites need to get together and speak calmly and 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.399 try to understand each other, you are roasted as a monster. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.399 That's what we're dealing with. Yeah, I don't know. I 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.880 hope we can move past the hole. You get elevated 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.080 for how upset you are. Thing doesn't look good right now, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.760 but that is the current stance. You get elevated. The 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.960 more upset you are, the more you fall apart, the 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.680 higher you're held in regard. Right. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:44.679 If resilience doesn't displace you know, frantic, gesticulating and emotion, 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.080 we're doomed as a country. 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.359 You won't believe how much the government's grown in the 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.879 last couple of years. Oof, stay tuned, arm Strong and 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:59.560 getty well it happened again. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.600 After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.479 need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:06.600 the twenty twenty four election. 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:13.360 Indeed, almost like you rehearsed that. 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.480 So many of us wish this hadn't happened, but that 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.480 is not for us to decide. This is a democracy, 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:26.679 that's democracy with a capital duh. And in this democracy, 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.560 the majority has spoken and they said they don't care 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:30.720 that much about democracy. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.480 Interesting, you know, as a guy who prefer conservative policies, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.600 this is good. The other side has shown absolutely no 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.760 sign of having understood why they're behind twenty one points 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.320 at halftime right, the role that they're playing and getting 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.879 Trump elected. Like Mark Alprin said the other day, the 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.120 media just does not get that they're making it more 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.719 likely Trump gets elected. So Stephen Colbert was the leader 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:03.439 among late night television hosts to break free of the 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.800 old mold, which was to be nonpartisan the way it 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.720 was when I was a kid. Every late night's show 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.240 tried to play it down the middle. They didn't want 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.400 to lose the part of their audience it wouldn't agree 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.360 with their politics. Stephen Colbert went all in on one side, Well, 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.159 how's that worked out for you? I feel like you 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.880 could be somewhat self reflective and think, hmm, I think, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:26.640 even though I'm doing financially well myself, politically, I might 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.400 be doing more harm than good. And I would think 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.520 all of your entertainment slash news networks and there's a 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:37.000 blurred line there, would would realize we might be doing 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.720 more harm than good, might be driving more people into 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:44.159 the other camp with our smug one sided you're a 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.760 bunch of idiots view of things. But maybe they won't. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.720 I think you're asking for introspection from people who just 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.919 don't have the capacity for it. They certainly don't have 0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:00.040 the taste for it. Man, if I lose something, the 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.000 first thing I want to know is what could I 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.760 have done better? And the other side, to a large extent, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:11.280 seems to not even accept that that's a possibility. I mean, 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.680 the very concept is foreign to him. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.600 Is crazy. Apparently, the meditation app Calm has had a 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.960 good couple of weeks, and especially after the election, that's 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.280 become the meditation app of choice for people who are 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.920 so upset that they can't deal with life. So, if 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.040 you're in that camp and you probably aren't use the 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.080 calm meditation app. So buddy of mine sent me this 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.760 the other day, and I had never seen it this 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:41.240 starkly put. As you know if you listen regularly, I 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.880 am a pretty big critic of the way Donald Trump 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:50.679 paneled January sixth, then what happened that day, But this 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.640 was sent to me. I'd never seen the BLM riots 0:20:55.440 --> 0:21:05.080 versus January sixth chart. Yes, January sixth one day, one riot, awful, 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:10.120 definitely one of the worst days in presidential history. Five 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:15.520 hundred plus BLM riots over an entire summer. So the 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.760 January sixth insurrection lasted a couple of hours. BLM riots 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:24.200 lasted seven months, whipped up by Marxists. Yes, January sixth, 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:29.199 zero murders by participants. Some of you would disagree with that, 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.120 but depending on how you account people dying from whatever thing. 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.720 But BLM riots twenty plus murders by participants. This is 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.399 where it gets very clear. January sixth, No small business 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:46.000 is destroyed BLM riots. Hundreds of small businesses destroyed. January 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:52.719 sixth one federal building damaged BLM riots one hundred and 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:57.240 fifty plus federal buildings damaged. How does that fly under 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.679 the radar and get no attention. Yeah, the attack on 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.160 the CAP building pretty horrible, seeing all those windows smash 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:04.080 and everything like that. How about the one hundred and 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.359 fifty plus federal buildings that had the same thing happened 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:09.600 to them during the Black Lives Matter riots? 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.320 One hundred and twelve knights in her own in Portland. 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.760 Nothing to see here, January sixth. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:19.119 One point five million dollars in damage BLM Summer of 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:24.760 Floyd two billion dollars in damage paid for by the taxpayers. 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.480 January six one hundred and forty officers assaulted. Awful BLM 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:34.399 two thousand and thirty seven officers assaulted. Nobody talks about 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:39.040 that at all. I mean at all. I don't I 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:43.919 can remember hearing a word about it right January sixth. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.800 Protesters kept in solitary confinement. BLM riots protesters bailed out 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:55.560 with the help of Kambo Aris accurate January sixth. Encouraged 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.959 by fringe political groups and agitators. BLM encouraged by media 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:05.280 and politicians. January sixth, exaggerated by the media. Do I 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:06.840 agree with that or not? I don't know if I 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:10.000 even agree with that. It's pretty hard to exaggerate January sixth. 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:11.840 In my opinion, it's pretty freaking over the top. 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.840
