1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: and Katty and He Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 2: I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you. 5 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. 6 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: I'm no better than you. 7 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot, I'm stupid. What you can't fit a 8 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: man of ice cream? 9 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 3: Stead If you heard the like longer version that Mark 10 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: Halprin had to drag out of him, it's a fairly 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: compelling story of a learning disability that he was able 12 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: to overcome and become a sixesimul guy. But if you 13 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: just sit in front of people and say, hey, you dumb, 14 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: I'm dumb too. I can't even read, you know, if 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: you present like that, it's not that handy. 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. A couple of great articles out in the last 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: couple of days, one in the Wall Street Journal about 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: it's hard to find somebody with the strength and the 19 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: stamina and the smarts to run for president. 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 4: It's extremely difficult. 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to speak to that in a few 22 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: minutes with another part of an interview. 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Right, And it's by a guy by the name of 24 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: Kenneth Kachigian, and the he highlights AOC and Gavin and 25 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: I wish we had time to get into the AOC thing. 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: I'll just read you a very short bit of it 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: for starters. AOC is public speaking is agonizingly amateurish. She 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: reads speeches like a seventh grader. Her eyes start up 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: and down in a manner that Betray wrote memorization, not scholarship, 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And then he gets into Gavin 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: Newsom in the poorer circuit, on the interview circuit with 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: the book and the I'm like you, I'm no better 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: than you, and he gets into how that was just terrible. 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: We've covered that pretty thoroughly. But then he says, for 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: the twenty two years since he became mayor of San Francisco, 36 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: mister Newsom hasn't driven the freeways or pumped his own gasoline. 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: It sad. 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Bodyguards protecting him in public California political media, with a 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: few exceptions, have been friendly or neutral. His governance reflects 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: a generational failure to dive into the substance of policy 41 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: and study the political and cultural depths of the American people, etc. 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: He just does not have the stuff, he says. And 43 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: then in the Free Press, Newsom looks small in the 44 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: face of a big war. He's tried to make himself 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: a national figure and a figure who's into foreign policy. 46 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: With the war, and let's see who is this. 47 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: In the Free Press, Peter Savadnik writes was unsettling to 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: watch California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday spouting off a 49 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: rejiggered blood libel this week, and not simply because Democrats 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: have mostly succumbed to fashionable jew eight quote. We have 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: to reconcile our bombs were used or Israeli bombs were 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: used to kill children, young girls at a school, and 53 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: what the imminent threat was he said at a press 54 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: conference meant to slam Donald Trump's war on Iran. Might 55 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: sound Anna dyne, who could possibly be against saving little girls, 56 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: But it's not. It's the old trope of the Jew 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: as murderer of gentile children and more to the point, 58 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: the asymmetrical anger when it comes to all things Jewish. 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: Apologies Israel I'm sorry, I apologize Israeli never mind. 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: Then he goes into the details of it, but he had. 61 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: No harsh words at all, for the Mullahs had no 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: harsh words for machine gunning the people of Iran in 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: the streets. 64 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: And then he's the final shot is right now? 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: The most important thing is that the front runner for 66 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: the twenty eight Democratic presidential nomination seems congenitally incapable of 67 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: rising above his tribe and conceiving of the war as 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: anything other than yet another opportunity for politicking, for taking 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: a few shots and scoring some points. 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: Is way too important for that. 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting because it would have been so easy 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: to come out and say, I'm glad the Ayatola is gone. 73 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: There's a terrible regime. We're better off without it. But 74 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: we got to do this smart. We all remember Iraq, 75 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: you know that sort of thing. 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, would it be easy to do. Yeah, he's really 77 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: steered into the Israel's in apartheid state. Yeah, blah blah blah. 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: Er shouldn't let them force us into war. 79 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 3: I mean, the number of politicians that get drug into 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: the Twitter conversation as if Twitter is America, it's practically everybody. 81 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of. 82 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: The things Trump understands better than a lot of other 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: people that Twitter is not America. 84 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: I've been saying for a while, like Gavy cannot hit 85 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: major league pitching. He's the product of one party, very 86 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: soft media state. He's never faced major league pitching and 87 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: he can't hit it. But putting aside the specifics, you've 88 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: got his record which is just unbelievably terrible and so 89 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: easy to hang around his neck. A couple of recent 90 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: interviews we thought were illustrative. Let's start with the clip 91 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: sixty Michael. It's Katie Couric, who apparently is still podcasting 92 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: or something with Gavin Newsom. 93 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 5: It's poverty rate tied with Louisiana the highest unemployment, and 94 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 5: as Nick Christoph of The New York Times recently wrote, 95 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 5: Mississippi schools outperformed California schools, especially for poor kids. Now 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 5: people see that or hear that or read that, and 97 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 5: they're like, no thanks California, No thanks, Gavin Newsom, We're good. 98 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,119 Speaker 4: Yeah. 99 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: Well, the poverty rate is you're talking about the supplemental 100 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: poverty rate. 101 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 4: Our cavity rates about average. 102 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: And we're right up there with Florida and Louisiana and 103 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: others with the supplemental poverty rate, which has been the 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: case for forty years. And the original sin. There is housing, 105 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: which has been a problem in California since Ronald Reagan 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: left office as governor, and we simply have a supplied 107 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: demand in balance, and we have zoning policies and nimbiism 108 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: that have been legendary, and we've finally broken it. Was 109 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: some of the most progressive housing reforms in US history. 110 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: Our biggest critics, like Ezra Kleine, would even acknowledge that 111 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: progress in that respect. 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Ezra Kline is not your biggest critic. Oh my god, 113 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: that's hilarious. That's pretty funny. 114 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, that places record is abysmal. 115 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: He is very skilled, though, at pointing to the problems 116 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: that decades of democratic rule have brought California and saying 117 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: this is a challenge we're taking on. 118 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: We're taking it on boldly and innovatively. 119 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: I understand why politicians don't bring people along for the ride. 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 3: What's the supplemental poverty rate? I don't know what that is. 121 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't he explain it? Maybe because it hurts his argument. 122 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. I have no idea what it means. 123 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: And then do you want to set up the clip 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: with Mark Halpern. Yeah, this is not This is definitely 125 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: not a bashion Gavin Newsom sort of clips. It's just 126 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: a gives you an idea for one thing, what it's 127 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: like to run for president. Gavin does present this as 128 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: unique to him, but I guarant it's true for anybody 129 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 3: who ever decides. 130 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 4: To try to run for the biggest office in the world. 131 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 6: So what would you say to all the people, including 132 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 6: i'll say governor, some of your own advisors who contact 133 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 6: me and say, Mark, you look like an idiot when 134 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 6: you say got to do Some might not run or 135 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 6: won't run. 136 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: What would you say to all those people? 137 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, just that they're wrong and they should be cautious 138 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: about that. That said, look, you got to have I've 139 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: said this one hundred times. 140 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 4: It's the niche set. 141 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: You gotta have a big enough why to endure any how. 142 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: You just describe the how, how the hell you endure 143 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: the slings and arrows. These guys, look, I'm not They 144 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: want to take me out. And you don't even know 145 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: the half of it. You all think you know the 146 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: half of it. Everybody you're writing, you don't know the 147 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: half of what these guys are doing. 148 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 4: The Trump administrations do it. 149 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: You know what they're capable of doing, you know, intuitively 150 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: what they're doing. I have a better sense of what 151 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: they actually are doing. 152 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 4: This. This is zero sum for them. They want to 153 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 4: flatten me. I get it. So it's not that. 154 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: But you know what, right now, the reason I'm leaning 155 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: in is because I have a why and it's burning 156 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna draw a line. 157 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: And we Drew Lawnes literally here with proposition fifty and 158 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna push back, and I'm gonna push it and 159 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit this bully back in the mouth. I 160 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: don't like what's going on in this country. I don't period, 161 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: full stop. I'm not counting it. And anyway, I don't 162 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: like what's going on primetime Fox. I don't. I don't 163 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: like the racism, the anti I don't like any of this. 164 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna call it out. If I feel 165 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: that way, You sure as hell better know that I 166 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: will run for president as it relates to the future 167 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: of this country. But you're right that has to be 168 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: backed up with the family first, and I will not 169 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: screw that up. So your answer is, yes, they all 170 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: have a veto. Every single one of those kids have 171 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: a veto. 172 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: If you have a burning in your wy you probably 173 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: need a shot of a penicillin. But yeah, your state 174 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: mandates that parents not be told that little children are 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: gender transitioning at school. Your state mandates that kids be 176 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: caught taught critical queer theory and transgender theory. 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: It's in the law. 178 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 3: Nobody wants that to that stuff of You don't know 179 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: the half they're trying to take me out. You don't 180 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: know half of that what they're willing to do. And 181 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: he's acting like it's the Trump people, Rama Manual's people, ah, 182 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: what's her name? Are the vice president who just ran 183 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's people, Josh Shapiro's people, They're gonna come at 184 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: him just as hard or already. Are so pretending like 185 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: it's just the Trump crowd that wants to lay him out. 186 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: I know enough about I've read enough books about people 187 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: who run for president. You got to get through your 188 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: own party first, and that's where the fights are usually 189 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: the nastiest. Right, So, but that is an interesting one. 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 3: I don't know if I believe it. I think some 191 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: people legit don't run for office because of what it 192 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: would do for their family. I think he's he's wondering, 193 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: what do they have, what do they not have? 194 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: What do they know? What do they not know? 195 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: And if it crosses a certain line, if it would 196 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: be painful enough for him, he might He's not gonna run. 197 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 3: But I don't think it's each kid gets a veto. 198 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: And if one kid says, I don't. 199 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: Want you to dad, I've got baseball season, I don't 200 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: think that's Honestly, I wor you. Gavin was saying, I'm 201 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: not willing to be that mean, but that was me 202 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: iver attracted. 203 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: I really do. 204 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna let that be the primary decision. 205 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree, and you know, the lawlessness will 206 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: be hung around his neck. California led the way in 207 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: locking up even four dollars products. You just can't buy 208 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: things at stores because there's so much crime, and that's 209 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: going to be impossible to get through. But back to 210 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: your point about the primary process, this sort of thing 211 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: will come up, and I'll end with this thought. Mister 212 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: Newsom's original sponsor and mentor California is legendary. Willie Brown 213 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: told Politico that mister Newsom is formidable because he's quote 214 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: a movie star. Politico then asked, quote, is it clear 215 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: what Newsom actually believes? Brown answered quote, I don't know. 216 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I've never asked him. For fear, he doesn't for fear 217 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't know. Oh wow. And then this mister Kachigian 218 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: who wrote this article said miss Ronald Reagan was an 219 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: actual movie star, but he knew what he believed. Wow. 220 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Can you run on? You might be able to actually 221 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: can you run on? Only? I oppose Trump. Trump is awful, 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: thinks he can. 223 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: I think it'd be harder for him to get the 224 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: nomination than to become president. But I could be wrong. 225 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: I just think they're good. The other Democrats are just 226 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: gonna kill him. Rum Immanuel is going to subject him 227 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: to such a beating. They're going to step in and 228 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: stop the fight. 229 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: It's gonna be like when that transgender fellas started punching 230 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: the poor women in the Olympics. Everybody's going to react 231 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: with how stop rom stop the last Jake Paul fight be. 232 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: Like that exactly. 233 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that Mark Alprin's still going with 234 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: the I don't even think he's gonna run angle. I yeah, 235 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: it's possible. I mean, for the love of God, it 236 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: is March of twenty twenty six, as we speak these words, 237 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: I think his missteps and mediocrity will just accumulate and 238 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: accumulate to the point that no, the donors say, no. 239 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: Thank you. 240 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: I think it'd be a pretty big void though, if 241 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: he decided, if he announced he's not running, it's all 242 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 3: of a sudden, really wide open. 243 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: Then. Yeah, But as I was pointing out, by the 244 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: day it, you know, could happen over the course of 245 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: the next year, a year and a half, and other 246 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: other folks will step to the four people will start 247 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: announcing here in eight months, nine months, which is a 248 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: long time, no doubt about that. I think I had 249 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: one more thing I was going to say about this. 250 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: I remember what I was givin hiss running for prison. 251 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: Oh always. 252 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: You remember clear back to two thousand and four, Al 253 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 3: Gore came within like a you know, couple of votes 254 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: of being President of the United States, that announced in 255 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 3: two thousand and four. Everybody assumed he was going to 256 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: run again, that he'd be the walk away nomine and 257 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: then just announced I'm not running. So you never know 258 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 3: what people have got going on in their lives. And 259 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: then he this climate scam going. You can't believe how 260 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: much money I'm making right, which might have been part 261 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: of it. Okay, we got more on the way stare 262 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: So the key to this here topical news joke from 263 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon. 264 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: Here is the crowd reaction. Here we go. President Trump 265 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: fired Christine nome kta just in case you didn't hear 266 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: me out. 267 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, Christine nom is out. In response, tome said, 268 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: if my face could move, it would look really sad. 269 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 4: Right now. 270 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: That was quite the crowd react into that news. 271 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 4: Well, she has no constituency left. 272 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: How much of that is I don't like the way 273 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 3: immigrants are being treated, and how much of that is 274 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: just a blow against the Trump crowd. 275 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: I think it's mostly the latter. Hm, I disagree. 276 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: I think the I think that the craziness of Minneapolis 277 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: turns so many people against DHS and ICE. I was 278 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: just looking at the ASP. But she's got no Republican 279 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: support either. She has just no supporters. 280 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: I'm trying to. 281 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: I've been trying to figure out this for a long time. 282 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: If this is just flat misogynist to comment on her 283 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: really really cares a lot about looking sexy as a 284 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: government official, That just seems weird to me, is that wrong? 285 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: And massages? I mean Pete Exit good looking guy. You know, 286 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: he makes sure his hair looks cool and he wears 287 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: really tight T shirts a lot to show off the 288 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 3: how you know how Buffy is all the time? 289 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Is that exactly the same thing. 290 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: But man her with their shiny lips in the wear 291 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: it's in a at work is just it's most people. 292 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: Most women aren't like that at work. Yeah. I don't 293 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: think it's massages that word you used exactly, but you 294 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: gotta be careful. There's a bigger gulf between a woman 295 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: who looks very good in business like and somebody who's 296 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: glammed up were dudes. It's there's really not a lot 297 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: of difference. I dress to impress a woman. I look 298 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: like I'm running for president. True, that's true. But I 299 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: just saw the ads of her. 300 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 3: The two hundred million dollar add by the lot of 301 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: went to friends of hers, maybe rightly maybe wrongly that 302 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: she blamed on Trump. And that's the real reason I 303 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: think that she got fired because when she was questioned 304 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: the other day, did Trump know about this? 305 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: Oh? 306 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Trump apparently did not know about that. And don't 307 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 3: you freaking hang me out on this? 308 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: No, way. 309 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 3: That's when that was a no, you're done. But I 310 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 3: saw the ads of her on the horse and a 311 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: cowboy hat, and they're looking like you look like you're 312 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: running for Miss America. I mean, there's just no getting 313 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: around it. You're super tight jeans and shirt. You look 314 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: like you're running from Miss America or trying to be 315 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: an influencer or something. I mean, I guess specifically you 316 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 3: are trying to influence people or your policies about the border. 317 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know. 318 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: A weird look for somebody that got a very serious job. 319 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: And she's out now. So that's that. 320 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: Harry Styles has a new album out, which I'm kind 321 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: of excited about because I'm Harry Styles fan.

But since I brought up celebrity stuff a 325 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: friend of mine, we were talking yesterday about people who 326 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 3: go out, we're out of time. 327 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: Damn, it ran out of time before I got to 328 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: the punchline. That's painful. 329 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: We were talking yesterday about people who refer to the 330 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: news and it's like TMZ more entertainment Tonight or whatever 331 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: like that. That's what they call the news. I'll get 332 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 3: to that a little bit later. Jack wants to talk 333 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: about Harry Styles.

It comes as 343 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 7: voters are split on whether capitalism is working amid the 344 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 7: affordability crisis. 345 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: That's nice, and here they break it down a little bit. 346 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 7: Says the ones that are backing socialism moving more towards 347 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 7: socialism the very liberal voters at sixty six percent, Democrats 348 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 7: under the age of forty five sixty six percent, and 349 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 7: voters under the age of thirty fifty three percent. The 350 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 7: biggest supporter graph of capitalism Republican men eighty seven percent. 351 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, and if you go deep, we're into it. The 352 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 8: number of men over forty five seventy five percent say 353 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 8: socialism is a bad thing. So middle aged men in 354 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 8: America are going to save the country. 355 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: You're welcome for that. 356 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 4: So. 357 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: Worth noting that. 358 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 3: And it's not that I'm not worried that way too 359 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 3: many people favor socialism two thirds of Democrats under forty 360 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: five for first. 361 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: Socialism or leaning socialism. 362 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: But it is true that so many people now call 363 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: themselves independent that if you use the number for Republicans 364 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 3: or Democrats, both sides can use it to paint the 365 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: other side is extreme because all the a lot of 366 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 3: the normal people in both parties have now called themselves independents, 367 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: because hardly anybody wants to be attached to either party 368 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 3: at this point. So you can use a poll about 369 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 3: Republicans or Democrats and say, look it out crazy there, 370 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 3: But you're really only talking about a small a lot 371 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: of the Republicans don't all themselves Republicans anymore. 372 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: Same with Democrats. Interesting, I'm not sure this is a 373 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: great example of that on the Republican side, just because 374 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: to me, anybody who's against free markets is a lunatic. 375 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: But I see your point. It's worth keeping in mind. 376 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't doubt that two thirds of Democrats under 377 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: forty five favorite socialism. I just think there's an awful 378 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 3: lot of democrats under forty five, they don't call themselves 379 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 3: democrats anymore. Right, probably vote Democrat a lot, but they 380 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: don't call themselves democrats because they don't want to be 381 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: attached to all the trans lunacy or Kamala Harris or 382 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other stuff or the racism. 383 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 384 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Uh, do you have you seen the rough numbers lately? 385 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: Who identifies as Republican independent Democrat? Uh? Well, it's a 386 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: Remember we had the number one and long ago. 387 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: The smallest number of people call themselves democrats ever was 388 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: on that. Yeah, so it's it's like a third of 389 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: the whole countries, it's and most people aren't. You're either 390 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 3: a Republican Democrat, you just don't want to be attached 391 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: to that party. Right, Definitely one direction or the other 392 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: in the way you vote. 393 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 394 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: The enduring con job that is pushing socialism. The fact 395 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that that can't be killed it says, it's like a cockroach, 396 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: is amazing to me. That is the most successful scam 397 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: ever designed. 398 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't take much explanation to educate somebody to 399 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: why it doesn't work. But they ain't doing that in school. 400 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: They're doing it my son's private school. But they aren't 401 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: doing it in regular school. Nobody's taking the time to say, 402 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 3: here's why socialism has failed everywhere it's ever worked. Do 403 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: the whole grade thing that would be popular in class. 404 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: How about if I did this? How about if I 405 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: took all the a's and spread them out and we 406 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: all got B minuses. Those of you who get a's 407 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: you be happy with that. The people who get great 408 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 3: grades would stop working hard. The people who get poor 409 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: grades would definitely never work hard. Right, what does that 410 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: do to the economy of grades? 411 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 412 00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't it. I'm done conversion completely right. It 413 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: would take you roughly ten minutes if that long. 414 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 3: That's a that's with a break for going to get 415 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: a drink or peeing in your Folger's coffee can or 416 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 3: whatever it is you do. If you don't know that story, 417 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 3: oh boy, you should google it. It's troubling. 418 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Oh you know, I'm really not in the mood on 419 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: a Friday to talk about the assisted suicide in Canada. 420 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: I will tell you though, it reminds me at least 421 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: somewhat of the socialism argument, in that the unintended consequences 422 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: of what sounds like a reasonable idea just they cascade 423 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: and they grow and the Hugh. It sounds great in theory, 424 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: but if you know anything about how rotten human beings 425 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: can be, it just quickly becomes far far uglier than 426 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: you thought it could. 427 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 4: And again, the fact that you have. 428 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: To re argue that in terms of socialism is probably 429 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: just because it's being taught as a wonderful thing in 430 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: our schools by a bunch of neo Marxist teachers and teachers' unions, 431 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: and I despise them to my bones. 432 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 3: So it did come up a couple times this week, 433 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 3: people who call Entertainment Tonight the news right or TMZ 434 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 3: the news, which I think fits in a little with 435 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 3: the Iran War in that most people as a listener 436 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: to podcasts the other day, and a whole bunch of 437 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: pundits are on there and they're saying the number one 438 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 3: question they got from people about the Iran War was 439 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: why did this happen? Because nobody was paying any attention 440 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: to the fact that we were building up all this 441 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: military might and warning them about the nuclear stuffing. 442 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: Nobody's paying attention to that. 443 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're watching entertainment news or sports 444 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 3: or whatever, but very few people were paying attention, and 445 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: the President certainly did not go out of his way 446 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: to alert us AnyWho got this text from a friend 447 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: of mine, Joe was telling a story about his some 448 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 3: of you cut your hair that referred to.

She she was a very fit young woman, yes, Michael, 454 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: but her passion was celebrity notes yes, which I started 455 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: watching Don't Look Up with my fourteen year old the movie, 456 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: and one of the features of that is. 457 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: The character played by Leonardo DiCaprio. He's a scientist who 458 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: just discovered a comment is going to hit Earth and 459 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: destroy all life, and he can't get anybody care pay 460 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: attention to the modern world, and he's getting ready to 461 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 3: go on like the Today Show, and they end up 462 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 3: interviewing a young pop star played by Ariana Grande, which 463 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: made it kind of funny. Who all they want to 464 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 3: talk about is her celebrity breakup. We saw on Twitter 465 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: that you and a different pop star broke up, and 466 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: the crowd and then talk about the breakup of the celebrities, 467 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 3: and he's like, why is nobody interested that the comedy. 468 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: Is going to destroy her?

U Joe's story made me laugh. 471 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: I worked with a nurse who was gorgeous, and she 472 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 3: would routinely come in and say the craziest stuff.

They just ate it and it was gone. 476 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: But if she bought designer jeans or the latest makeup, 477 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 3: it really lasted. 478 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: Does it give you an idea of. 479 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: The intelligence of the sort of person that follows celebrity 480 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: news versus real news?

But if I buy these jeans, 483 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 3: I have them for a long time. 484 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: It's a good point. 485 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: She and her husband picked all their kids' names from 486 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: soap operas.

But 494 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 3: I wish the polling organizations would somehow like grade everybody 495 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 3: on level of awareness, and there's no need to be demeaning, 496 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: you know what, morons? 497 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's call the bottom group morons.

And you'd eliminate the expert class 501 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: probably and the morons from your polling or I don't know, 502 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: but the idea of pulling a bunch of people who say, 503 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: why are we attacking her? On about attacking Iran is 504 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: the definition of uselessness, except I guess in terms of 505 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: retail politics, because ignoramuses can vote to a practice I 506 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: will stamp out when I am emperor. 507 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard this number the other day, and I'd 508 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: never heard of it before. I've been meaning to verify 509 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: it. It came from a very credible source that only twenty 510 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: nine percent of people follow politics real news, and only 511 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 3: fourteen percent so roughly half of them. 512 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Follow it closely. 513 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 3: So following closely enough to really understand what's going on 514 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 3: is fourteen percent. 515 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: That sounds about right to me. 516 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: I mean, since in most elections prior to Trump, only 517 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: about a half of people voted. 518 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 1: Even in a presidential election. That other half is just man. 519 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 8: I have. 520 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: In recent months met more people that have decided that 521 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 3: either maybe they've always been checked out or said, yeah, 522 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 3: I just gave up, I checked out. 523 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't even pay attention anymore. 524 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 525 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: Part of it is, as our old producer Sean used 526 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: to say, every story comes as a homework assignment. Everything 527 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 3: you hear, you have to Okay, I guess I better 528 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: try to figure out if this is completely true, completely false, 529 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 3: or you know some portion of that. Right, Everything you hear, 530 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: and it's tiring, it's exhausting. At some point, I could 531 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: see how you decide that I just. 532 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: Won't pay attention. Plus the fever pitch, plus the incredible 533 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: size and complexity of the government, at this point, it's 534 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: it's too much to ask, and that we need, we 535 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: need an informed citizenry that would take four lifetimes I've 536 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: heard different versions of this too. 537 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: One person that recently decided a couple of different business things, 538 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: divorced things, whatever had happened, and they just thought the 539 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 3: injustice of the way it turned out was so awful 540 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 3: that there's no consequences for anything. So I'm just not 541 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 3: paying attention anymore. Nobody gets any consequences. You can rob 542 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: people blind, you can commit crimes and get out over 543 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: and over again. 544 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: I just give up. 545 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: So there's that crowd, right. And then I know a 546 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: guy many many years ago. He was a little older, 547 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 3: but he had been in Vietnam and he felt he 548 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 3: had been so lied to by his government that he 549 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 3: just completely checked out for the rest of his life 550 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: on all politics. Seemed pretty happy. I can't fault him 551 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: for that. He seemed pretty damned happy with that decision. Now, obviously, 552 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 3: you can't run a democracy with people with everybody doing that. 553 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: No, No, it's a problem. It's a serious problem. I'm 554 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: somewhat reminded of some Van Jones clips we have talking 555 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: about the Iran conflict and the way people are behaving politically, 556 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: and he looks at both sides. 557 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 4: It's pretty compelling. We'll squeeze that in if we can. 558 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 3: Oh, quick question, because I just looked up the TV 559 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 3: and saw the Paralympics are underway. The Paralympics that people 560 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: who are handy capable. It's also in Italy though the 561 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 3: Winter Paralympics. China is dominating the Winter Paralympics. Do you 562 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 3: have any idea why that would be a guess, I don't. 563 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: The cold warrior and me wants to take a shot 564 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: at China, but just to sheer population, I'm guessing just 565 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: plaining more people. But they have more people for the 566 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: regular Olympics too, and they didn't dominate, maybe because they've 567 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: crippled so many dissidents by beating them and torturing them. 568 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: And they put them on skis. Out of there. 569 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't help myself, they could not. Then they put 570 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: them on skis, is what he said. Okay, more on 571 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: the waist they here. My oldest son turned sixteen tomorrow, 572 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: and it is more shocking to me than I can 573 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: possibly tell you. M Yeah, I know what you mean. 574 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: Why does that happen? Just happens? I guess times just 575 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: a concept man, accept it not? It keeps moving. So 576 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: have you heard about these these prediction markets? You're like 577 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: your polymarket and your Calshi. 578 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 4: Isn't that a cereal? Is that cashy? 579 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what's a it's a betting site, what's 580 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: a cereal? And what's a tea drink? For hipstercy I 581 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: put a thousand dollars bet on Macha the other day 582 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: saying that the US would end It's about Me campaign anyway, 583 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: a bunch of headlines about those prediction markets. We mentioned 584 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: very very briefly the other day that somebody had made 585 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: a bet related to the death of the Ayatola, and 586 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: Calshi is refusing to pay out winnings on a fifty 587 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: four million dollar trade. Many betters have assumed they won 588 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: big wagers that he would be out as Supreme Leader 589 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: by Saturday. But Calcian American prediction market that allows users 590 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: to bet on politics, sports, foreign affairs, and pop culture 591 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: and all sorts of stuff, announced it would not be 592 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: paying out any winnings on those wagers since its guidelines 593 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: prohibit markets quote directly tied to death. 594 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 4: Their users are outraged by this. 595 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: You know, I got to get into this, but I 596 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: haven't because I mean, I obviously followed the news like 597 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: a maniac, and that puts you at a real advantage. 598 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, as at first against the idea of you can't 599 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 3: bet on anything, we're death's involved. But I can see 600 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: you don't want I mean, if you got pictures out 601 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: there throwing the pitch straight into the ground to make 602 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: sure they win a bet, you don't want anybody amp 603 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 3: and up death to win a Sure. 604 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Is there somebody who would murder somebody else for a 605 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: million dollars? 606 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, it's the probably two people out of every ten. 607 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: You have a dark if. Oh, don't get me started. So, 608 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: but I really ought to get into it. It's probably laziness. Well, 609 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm busy, this job is time consuming, and uh maybe 610 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: I just I'm not desperate for money. I don't know, 611 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: but it's clearly something I ought to be doing. I 612 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: spend an hour a week on it. 613 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: Right, I know we're about this then you know who's 614 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 3: going to win a football game? I'm sure handicapping candidates 615 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: and issues and bills and whatever. Anyway, moving along, there's 616 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: a big. 617 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: Article in the Wall Street Journal today about the these 618 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: markets and it's let's see what does this start with? 619 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay. 620 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: The mentions market tries to predict the unpredictable Trump's next words, 621 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: so you can even predict whether Trump will use the 622 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: word for instance, for instance, hottest in his address to 623 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: the nation. Hunkered down in the dark room, Max Carroza 624 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: watch riveted as President Trump gave a speech on the 625 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: US economy. Hottest, Hottest, Come on, he pleaded to his screen. 626 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: Then it came we have the hottest country in the world. 627 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: The President declared, Yes, let's go. Corrosso whooped, pumping his fist. 628 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: The twenty year old big box store manager in Westchester, 629 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania had just made sixty four dollars by correctly betting 630 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: that Trump would say hottest. I think I would have 631 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: made that bet. 632 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 633 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's how mundane it can be. 634 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 3: That's practically like you know, how long the national anthem 635 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: is for the Super Bowl in terms of. 636 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: Mundane. Right. But here's another interesting angle to it, and 637 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: this especially applies to government officials. There are various people 638 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: who made a crapload of money on when the US 639 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: bombing campaign would start, even though it was secret. 640 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 4: I would have been wrong in that one. 641 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but quite a few people were very, very right, 642 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: to the point that it's like, uh, you're familiar. 643 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: With Pentagon planning. You're close to the president. Well, it's 644 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 3: the same way they caught these sports stars. You see 645 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,719 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of You see that they placed bets 646 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 3: or had a bunch of activity betting various sites at 647 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 3: the same time that they all of a sudden pulled 648 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 3: up lame in the second quarter. 649 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 4: Right. 650 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: So this other article in the journal from Like Today, 651 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: I think is about a couple of things, including the 652 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: fact that these markets are marketing themselves like crazy on 653 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: college campuses. They are spending zillions of dollars to market 654 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: themselves to college kids who think they're smart and have 655 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: a little disposable income at all. And they mentioned that 656 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: this fraternity at the University of Miami that attracts the 657 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: children of the very wealthy, including the step son of 658 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos. 659 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 4: They were making. 660 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 1: Predictions as to what celebrities would show up at the 661 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and the odds of Bezos attending were high, 662 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: a potential jackpot for anyone who actually knew his weekend 663 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: plans which did not involve a trip to Levi's stadium, 664 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: and some fraternity brothers began placing bets that Bezos would 665 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: not attend.
