WEBVTT - I Have a Why, and It's Burning 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.320 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.520 and Katty and He Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.639 I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you. 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.519 I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.040 I'm no better than you. 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:47.600 I'm an idiot, I'm stupid. What you can't fit a 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.840 man of ice cream? 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.240 Stead If you heard the like longer version that Mark 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.000 Halprin had to drag out of him, it's a fairly 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.400 compelling story of a learning disability that he was able 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.520 to overcome and become a sixesimul guy. But if you 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.240 just sit in front of people and say, hey, you dumb, 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.679 I'm dumb too. I can't even read, you know, if 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.360 you present like that, it's not that handy. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.520 Yeah. A couple of great articles out in the last 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.240 couple of days, one in the Wall Street Journal about 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.039 it's hard to find somebody with the strength and the 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.199 stamina and the smarts to run for president. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.040 It's extremely difficult. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.600 Yeah, he's going to speak to that in a few 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.800 minutes with another part of an interview. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.960 Right, And it's by a guy by the name of 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:35.039 Kenneth Kachigian, and the he highlights AOC and Gavin and 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.119 I wish we had time to get into the AOC thing. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.399 I'll just read you a very short bit of it 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.880 for starters. AOC is public speaking is agonizingly amateurish. She 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.000 reads speeches like a seventh grader. Her eyes start up 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.840 and down in a manner that Betray wrote memorization, not scholarship, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.840 et cetera, et cetera. And then he gets into Gavin 0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:01.360 Newsom in the poorer circuit, on the interview circuit with 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.480 the book and the I'm like you, I'm no better 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.680 than you, and he gets into how that was just terrible. 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.320 We've covered that pretty thoroughly. But then he says, for 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.680 the twenty two years since he became mayor of San Francisco, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.680 mister Newsom hasn't driven the freeways or pumped his own gasoline. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:16.120 It sad. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.480 Bodyguards protecting him in public California political media, with a 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.760 few exceptions, have been friendly or neutral. His governance reflects 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.720 a generational failure to dive into the substance of policy 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.399 and study the political and cultural depths of the American people, etc. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.600 He just does not have the stuff, he says. And 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.560 then in the Free Press, Newsom looks small in the 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.919 face of a big war. He's tried to make himself 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.040 a national figure and a figure who's into foreign policy. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.280 With the war, and let's see who is this. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.200 In the Free Press, Peter Savadnik writes was unsettling to 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.959 watch California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday spouting off a 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.720 rejiggered blood libel this week, and not simply because Democrats 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.160 have mostly succumbed to fashionable jew eight quote. We have 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.080 to reconcile our bombs were used or Israeli bombs were 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.480 used to kill children, young girls at a school, and 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.120 what the imminent threat was he said at a press 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.280 conference meant to slam Donald Trump's war on Iran. Might 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.240 sound Anna dyne, who could possibly be against saving little girls, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.120 But it's not. It's the old trope of the Jew 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.800 as murderer of gentile children and more to the point, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.440 the asymmetrical anger when it comes to all things Jewish. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.799 Apologies Israel I'm sorry, I apologize Israeli never mind. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.160 Then he goes into the details of it, but he had. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.640 No harsh words at all, for the Mullahs had no 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.320 harsh words for machine gunning the people of Iran in 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.040 the streets. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.800 And then he's the final shot is right now? 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.600 The most important thing is that the front runner for 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:46.560 the twenty eight Democratic presidential nomination seems congenitally incapable of 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.120 rising above his tribe and conceiving of the war as 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.320 anything other than yet another opportunity for politicking, for taking 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.080 a few shots and scoring some points. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:56.800 Is way too important for that. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.480 Yeah, that's interesting because it would have been so easy 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.120 to come out and say, I'm glad the Ayatola is gone. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.320 There's a terrible regime. We're better off without it. But 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.640 we got to do this smart. We all remember Iraq, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.080 you know that sort of thing. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.520 Yeah, would it be easy to do. Yeah, he's really 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.920 steered into the Israel's in apartheid state. Yeah, blah blah blah. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.360 Er shouldn't let them force us into war. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:30.280 I mean, the number of politicians that get drug into 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.520 the Twitter conversation as if Twitter is America, it's practically everybody. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.080 Yeah, it's one of. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.040 The things Trump understands better than a lot of other 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.520 people that Twitter is not America. 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.279 I've been saying for a while, like Gavy cannot hit 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.800 major league pitching. He's the product of one party, very 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.479 soft media state. He's never faced major league pitching and 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.880 he can't hit it. But putting aside the specifics, you've 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:02.200 got his record which is just unbelievably terrible and so 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.200 easy to hang around his neck. A couple of recent 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.799 interviews we thought were illustrative. Let's start with the clip 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.320 sixty Michael. It's Katie Couric, who apparently is still podcasting 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.960 or something with Gavin Newsom. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:18.000 It's poverty rate tied with Louisiana the highest unemployment, and 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.080 as Nick Christoph of The New York Times recently wrote, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:26.719 Mississippi schools outperformed California schools, especially for poor kids. Now 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.279 people see that or hear that or read that, and 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.599 they're like, no thanks California, No thanks, Gavin Newsom, We're good. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:35.119 Yeah. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.680 Well, the poverty rate is you're talking about the supplemental 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:38.159 poverty rate. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.360 Our cavity rates about average. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.360 And we're right up there with Florida and Louisiana and 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.479 others with the supplemental poverty rate, which has been the 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.200 case for forty years. And the original sin. There is housing, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.919 which has been a problem in California since Ronald Reagan 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.080 left office as governor, and we simply have a supplied 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.880 demand in balance, and we have zoning policies and nimbiism 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.320 that have been legendary, and we've finally broken it. Was 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.080 some of the most progressive housing reforms in US history. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.159 Our biggest critics, like Ezra Kleine, would even acknowledge that 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:08.599 progress in that respect. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.400 Ezra Kline is not your biggest critic. Oh my god, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.800 that's hilarious. That's pretty funny. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.880 Yeah, that places record is abysmal. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.480 He is very skilled, though, at pointing to the problems 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:29.240 that decades of democratic rule have brought California and saying 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.880 this is a challenge we're taking on. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.440 We're taking it on boldly and innovatively. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.440 I understand why politicians don't bring people along for the ride. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.919 What's the supplemental poverty rate? I don't know what that is. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.279 Why wouldn't he explain it? Maybe because it hurts his argument. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.359 Maybe I don't know. I have no idea what it means. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.160 And then do you want to set up the clip 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.160 with Mark Halpern. Yeah, this is not This is definitely 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.040 not a bashion Gavin Newsom sort of clips. It's just 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.640 a gives you an idea for one thing, what it's 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.800 like to run for president. Gavin does present this as 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.320 unique to him, but I guarant it's true for anybody 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.599 who ever decides. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.479 To try to run for the biggest office in the world. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.040 So what would you say to all the people, including 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.840 i'll say governor, some of your own advisors who contact 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.560 me and say, Mark, you look like an idiot when 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.440 you say got to do Some might not run or 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:17.080 won't run. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.240 What would you say to all those people? 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.640 Yeah, just that they're wrong and they should be cautious 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.320 about that. That said, look, you got to have I've 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:27.280 said this one hundred times. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:27.880 It's the niche set. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.720 You gotta have a big enough why to endure any how. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.400 You just describe the how, how the hell you endure 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.000 the slings and arrows. These guys, look, I'm not They 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.680 want to take me out. And you don't even know 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.200 the half of it. You all think you know the 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.600 half of it. Everybody you're writing, you don't know the 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.120 half of what these guys are doing. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.360 The Trump administrations do it. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.640 You know what they're capable of doing, you know, intuitively 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.440 what they're doing. I have a better sense of what 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.600 they actually are doing. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.040 This. This is zero sum for them. They want to 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.240 flatten me. I get it. So it's not that. 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.600 But you know what, right now, the reason I'm leaning 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.840 in is because I have a why and it's burning 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.280 and I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna draw a line. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.280 And we Drew Lawnes literally here with proposition fifty and 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.320 I'm gonna push back, and I'm gonna push it and 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.320 I'm gonna hit this bully back in the mouth. I 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.520 don't like what's going on in this country. I don't period, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.640 full stop. I'm not counting it. And anyway, I don't 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.160 like what's going on primetime Fox. I don't. I don't 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.680 like the racism, the anti I don't like any of this. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.200 And so I'm gonna call it out. If I feel 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.240 that way, You sure as hell better know that I 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.400 will run for president as it relates to the future 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.120 of this country. But you're right that has to be 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.240 backed up with the family first, and I will not 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.839 screw that up. So your answer is, yes, they all 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.360 have a veto. Every single one of those kids have 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:36.920 a veto. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.559 If you have a burning in your wy you probably 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.560 need a shot of a penicillin. But yeah, your state 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:49.559 mandates that parents not be told that little children are 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.640 gender transitioning at school. Your state mandates that kids be 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.240 caught taught critical queer theory and transgender theory. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.200 It's in the law. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.080 Nobody wants that to that stuff of You don't know 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.440 the half they're trying to take me out. You don't 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.520 know half of that what they're willing to do. And 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.920 he's acting like it's the Trump people, Rama Manual's people, ah, 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.880 what's her name? Are the vice president who just ran 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.600 Kamala Harris's people, Josh Shapiro's people, They're gonna come at 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.400 him just as hard or already. Are so pretending like 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.040 it's just the Trump crowd that wants to lay him out. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.840 I know enough about I've read enough books about people 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.800 who run for president. You got to get through your 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.120 own party first, and that's where the fights are usually 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.679 the nastiest. Right, So, but that is an interesting one. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.439 I don't know if I believe it. I think some 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.480 people legit don't run for office because of what it 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.120 would do for their family. I think he's he's wondering, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.760 what do they have, what do they not have? 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.160 What do they know? What do they not know? 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.200 And if it crosses a certain line, if it would 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.000 be painful enough for him, he might He's not gonna run. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.319 But I don't think it's each kid gets a veto. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.640 And if one kid says, I don't. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.719 Want you to dad, I've got baseball season, I don't 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.160 think that's Honestly, I wor you. Gavin was saying, I'm 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.480 not willing to be that mean, but that was me 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:14.199 iver attracted. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:14.920 I really do. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.679 I don't think he's gonna let that be the primary decision. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.920 Yeah, I would agree, and you know, the lawlessness will 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.920 be hung around his neck. California led the way in 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.920 locking up even four dollars products. You just can't buy 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.719 things at stores because there's so much crime, and that's 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.920 going to be impossible to get through. But back to 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.360 your point about the primary process, this sort of thing 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480 will come up, and I'll end with this thought. Mister 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.360 Newsom's original sponsor and mentor California is legendary. Willie Brown 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.280 told Politico that mister Newsom is formidable because he's quote 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.200 a movie star. Politico then asked, quote, is it clear 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:54.120 what Newsom actually believes? Brown answered quote, I don't know. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.920 I've never asked him. For fear, he doesn't for fear 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.120 he doesn't know. Oh wow. And then this mister Kachigian 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.120 who wrote this article said miss Ronald Reagan was an 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.800 actual movie star, but he knew what he believed. Wow. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.280 Can you run on? You might be able to actually 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.560 can you run on? Only? I oppose Trump. Trump is awful, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.840 thinks he can. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.160 I think it'd be harder for him to get the 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.040 nomination than to become president. But I could be wrong. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.360 I just think they're good. The other Democrats are just 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.440 gonna kill him. Rum Immanuel is going to subject him 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.920 to such a beating. They're going to step in and 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:39.640 stop the fight. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.360 It's gonna be like when that transgender fellas started punching 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.320 the poor women in the Olympics. Everybody's going to react 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.199 with how stop rom stop the last Jake Paul fight be. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.640 Like that exactly. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.120 I think it's interesting that Mark Alprin's still going with 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:04.079 the I don't even think he's gonna run angle. I yeah, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.240 it's possible. I mean, for the love of God, it 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.559 is March of twenty twenty six, as we speak these words, 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:17.760 I think his missteps and mediocrity will just accumulate and 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.920 accumulate to the point that no, the donors say, no. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:20.240 Thank you. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.440 I think it'd be a pretty big void though, if 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.720 he decided, if he announced he's not running, it's all 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.319 of a sudden, really wide open. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.319 Then. Yeah, But as I was pointing out, by the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.480 day it, you know, could happen over the course of 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.360 the next year, a year and a half, and other 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.800 other folks will step to the four people will start 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.080 announcing here in eight months, nine months, which is a 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.560 long time, no doubt about that. I think I had 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:44.920 one more thing I was going to say about this. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.280 I remember what I was givin hiss running for prison. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:48.160 Oh always. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.360 You remember clear back to two thousand and four, Al 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.560 Gore came within like a you know, couple of votes 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.920 of being President of the United States, that announced in 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.839 two thousand and four. Everybody assumed he was going to 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.800 run again, that he'd be the walk away nomine and 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.520 then just announced I'm not running. So you never know 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.199 what people have got going on in their lives. And 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.520 then he this climate scam going. You can't believe how 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.520 much money I'm making right, which might have been part 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.600 of it. Okay, we got more on the way stare 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.640 So the key to this here topical news joke from 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.480 Jimmy Fallon. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.720 Here is the crowd reaction. Here we go. President Trump 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:47.679 fired Christine nome kta just in case you didn't hear 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:48.040 me out. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.160 Wow, yeah, Christine nom is out. In response, tome said, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.240 if my face could move, it would look really sad. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:56.679 Right now. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.880 That was quite the crowd react into that news. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.880 Well, she has no constituency left. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.120 How much of that is I don't like the way 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.640 immigrants are being treated, and how much of that is 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.920 just a blow against the Trump crowd. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:20.600 I think it's mostly the latter. Hm, I disagree. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.840 I think the I think that the craziness of Minneapolis 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:30.760 turns so many people against DHS and ICE. I was 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.920 just looking at the ASP. But she's got no Republican 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.440 support either. She has just no supporters. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:36.240 I'm trying to. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.040 I've been trying to figure out this for a long time. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.640 If this is just flat misogynist to comment on her 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.880 really really cares a lot about looking sexy as a 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:52.560 government official, That just seems weird to me, is that wrong? 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.520 And massages? I mean Pete Exit good looking guy. You know, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.240 he makes sure his hair looks cool and he wears 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.960 really tight T shirts a lot to show off the 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.160 how you know how Buffy is all the time? 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.480 Is that exactly the same thing. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.280 But man her with their shiny lips in the wear 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.480 it's in a at work is just it's most people. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.560 Most women aren't like that at work. Yeah. I don't 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:17.480 think it's massages that word you used exactly, but you 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:22.280 gotta be careful. There's a bigger gulf between a woman 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.880 who looks very good in business like and somebody who's 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.480 glammed up were dudes. It's there's really not a lot 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.200 of difference. I dress to impress a woman. I look 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.560 like I'm running for president. True, that's true. But I 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.280 just saw the ads of her. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.000 The two hundred million dollar add by the lot of 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.320 went to friends of hers, maybe rightly maybe wrongly that 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.480 she blamed on Trump. And that's the real reason I 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.200 think that she got fired because when she was questioned 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.560 the other day, did Trump know about this? 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:49.760 Oh? 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.880 Absolutely, Trump apparently did not know about that. And don't 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.640 you freaking hang me out on this? 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:55.600 No, way. 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.360 That's when that was a no, you're done. But I 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.160 saw the ads of her on the horse and a 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.240 cowboy hat, and they're looking like you look like you're 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.440 running for Miss America. I mean, there's just no getting 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.720 around it. You're super tight jeans and shirt. You look 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.600 like you're running from Miss America or trying to be 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.440 an influencer or something. I mean, I guess specifically you 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.480 are trying to influence people or your policies about the border. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.920 But I don't know. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:24.840 A weird look for somebody that got a very serious job. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.880 And she's out now. So that's that. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.520 Harry Styles has a new album out, which I'm kind 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.360 of excited about because I'm Harry Styles fan. The name 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.280 of it is Funny Kiss All the Time Disco Occasionally. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.760 That's a funny name for an album, kind of like 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.640 his music. But since I brought up celebrity stuff a 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.600 friend of mine, we were talking yesterday about people who 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:47.520 go out, we're out of time. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.760 Damn, it ran out of time before I got to 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.640 the punchline. That's painful. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.600 We were talking yesterday about people who refer to the 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:01.840 news and it's like TMZ more entertainment Tonight or whatever 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.520 like that. That's what they call the news. I'll get 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.680 to that a little bit later. Jack wants to talk 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.760 about Harry Styles. I want to talk about assisted suicide 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:09.480 in Canada. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.040 Something for everyone coming up. Oh I can stay too that. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.040 Oh my god. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.720 Yeah, if you've missed this, likeing, we get the podcast 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.400 Armstrong and Getty on demand. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.440 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.560 We have a Fox News poll and it reveals a 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.680 record thirty eight percent of voters think the US shifting 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.679 toward socialism would be a good thing. It comes as 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.720 voters are split on whether capitalism is working amid the 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:34.960 affordability crisis. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.439 That's nice, and here they break it down a little bit. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.399 Says the ones that are backing socialism moving more towards 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.520 socialism the very liberal voters at sixty six percent, Democrats 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.560 under the age of forty five sixty six percent, and 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.520 voters under the age of thirty fifty three percent. The 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:58.320 biggest supporter graph of capitalism Republican men eighty seven percent. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.040 Yeah, and if you go deep, we're into it. The 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.400 number of men over forty five seventy five percent say 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.520 socialism is a bad thing. So middle aged men in 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.359 America are going to save the country. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:11.720 You're welcome for that. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:13.840 So. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.399 Worth noting that. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.919 And it's not that I'm not worried that way too 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:26.479 many people favor socialism two thirds of Democrats under forty 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:27.560 five for first. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.640 Socialism or leaning socialism. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.000 But it is true that so many people now call 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.520 themselves independent that if you use the number for Republicans 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.439 or Democrats, both sides can use it to paint the 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.760 other side is extreme because all the a lot of 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.080 the normal people in both parties have now called themselves independents, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.240 because hardly anybody wants to be attached to either party 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.880 at this point. So you can use a poll about 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.200 Republicans or Democrats and say, look it out crazy there, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.640 But you're really only talking about a small a lot 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.359 of the Republicans don't all themselves Republicans anymore. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.960 Same with Democrats. Interesting, I'm not sure this is a 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.320 great example of that on the Republican side, just because 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.159 to me, anybody who's against free markets is a lunatic. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:14.840 But I see your point. It's worth keeping in mind. 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.160 Yeah, I don't doubt that two thirds of Democrats under 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.800 forty five favorite socialism. I just think there's an awful 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:21.959 lot of democrats under forty five, they don't call themselves 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.639 democrats anymore. Right, probably vote Democrat a lot, but they 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.359 don't call themselves democrats because they don't want to be 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.840 attached to all the trans lunacy or Kamala Harris or 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.080 a whole bunch of other stuff or the racism. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:33.360 Yeah. 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.720 Uh, do you have you seen the rough numbers lately? 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.440 Who identifies as Republican independent Democrat? Uh? Well, it's a 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.960 Remember we had the number one and long ago. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:48.600 The smallest number of people call themselves democrats ever was 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.600 on that. Yeah, so it's it's like a third of 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.560 the whole countries, it's and most people aren't. You're either 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.640 a Republican Democrat, you just don't want to be attached 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.200 to that party. Right, Definitely one direction or the other 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.080 in the way you vote. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:03.320 Yeah. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:08.400 The enduring con job that is pushing socialism. The fact 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.760 that that can't be killed it says, it's like a cockroach, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.960 is amazing to me. That is the most successful scam 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:16.560 ever designed. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:21.199 Well, it doesn't take much explanation to educate somebody to 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.920 why it doesn't work. But they ain't doing that in school. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.480 They're doing it my son's private school. But they aren't 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.680
