Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jettating and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: You look at their theories on tax You know, all

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: my life, I've watched politics.

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: I've always liked it. I've watched it.

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: I participated, but from the standpoint of a donor. But

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: I participated in all my life, I've watched politicians.

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: We will cut your taxes.

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: We will cut your These people say we're going to

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 3: raise your taxes. This is the only time it's never said.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: I've never heard it. They say it, even if they

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: don't meet it. We will cut you to These people

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: say that we're going to give you the biggest tax

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: grease increase you've ever had, and that's what they're running on.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: That is an interesting point. And I wonder if it's

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: just the realization of half the country doesn't pay taxes,

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: so they don't care.

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they want that.

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it's just there's a bigger chunk of

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 4: America than has ever been You can look at the

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: charts that doesn't care if taxes go.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 5: Up, right, So maybe it's a winning issue. Now it's

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: more services for them. Honestly, Yeah, keep that gravy train

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: or rolling. Unlike the bullet train, the gravy train is

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 5: a rolling.

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: I feel like we found out in the last twenty

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: four hours that this is absolutely true, that Trump's got

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: a grand strategy to deal with China, knowing they think

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: long term and we think short term, to try to

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: bring manufacturing back to the United States because that's the

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: direction the world is going.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: More on that in a second.

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: As far as to the tariffs and how that's going

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: to affect our economy, he has asked a the kind

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: of questions speaking of presidents always sa they're going to

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: lower taxes. Presidents always say no, there's not going to

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: be a recession. But that's not what Trump said here.

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: Look, I know that you inherited a mess, and you

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: say I don't want to have been here.

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Are you expecting a recession this year? I hate to

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: predict things like that. There is a period of transition

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: back to America. That's a big thing, and there are

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: always periods of it takes a little time. It takes

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: a little time, but I don't I think it should

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: be great for us.

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it should be great.

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 4: And that's definitely not a no. I don't think there's

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: gonna be a session. He was, you know, his mind's whirling.

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: He understands the way the media works and politics works.

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: If he says no, and then there is one he

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: has that that's you know, running on a loop constantly

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: sure right.

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 5: For what it's worth, I thought this is interesting you

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 5: if you ask a quote unquote expert, it's mostly going

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 5: to be a professor, and professors are all lefties, as

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: we've all realized in recent days. But when you ask

59
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 5: like business slash financial experts about this sort of thing,

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: I think it's a much better you know, gauge. For instance,

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 5: the Journal asked economists at some of the global banks

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 5: about the chance of US recession.

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: The JP Morgan.

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: Chase guys raised the risk of recession from thirty percent

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 5: to forty percent from the start of the year till now,

66
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: so they see it as less than half likely, but

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: more than they did before the terroriffs.

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: I meant to inject earlier because we've we've said this

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: many times over the years. Recession gets thrown around like

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: like do you even remember the last recession? Of course

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: you do, because half your neighbor's starved to death.

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Sure of the bodies filed in the streets. So good figure.

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: I've lived through so many recessions and I don't remember

74
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: when the last one was. I mean, they're not enjoyable,

75
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: and if you lose your job, obviously it's awful.

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: But they come it's not it's not.

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: Well, how does that get presented in the news, like

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: it's I don't know, the COVID pandemic or like something

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: so incredibly disruptive to your life? Oh yeah, they really

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: ought to have a low voiced guy with lots of echo.

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: Say recession, un shit, un shut, un should the way

82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: they talk about it. I mean, I don't want one,

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: but they're not. They happen every now and then.

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 5: Anyway, Golden Sachs said it's now twenty percent likely, up

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: from fifteen percent, and Morgan Stanley folks say, yeah, growth

86
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 5: around one and a half percent, kind of not a

87
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 5: recession but minor growth.

88
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: So you know, nobody's panicking.

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: Everybody's thinking, yeah, it might be more likely, just a

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: little perspective, but I think what Trump is hinting at

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 5: and I think he might be better off if you'd

92
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 5: just say it out loud.

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: Is Look, the world is changing a lot. It's gonna

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: be us versus China. China's gonna have their big chunk

95
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: of the world. We're gonna have our big chunk of

96
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: the world, and we got to make everything over on

97
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 4: our chunk of the world, preferably in the United States,

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: or we're doomed.

99
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: He talks a little bit about that.

100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 6: Here, you said, look, we're going to have a disruption,

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 6: but we're okay with that.

102
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: Is that what you meant?

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: The stock market going down is the disruption?

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: What were you alluding to?

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: Look, what I have to do is build a strong country.

106
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: You can't really watch the stock market. If you look

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: at China, they have one hundred year perspective. We have

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 3: a quarter. We go by quarters. That's true, and you

109
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: can't go by that. You have to do what's right.

110
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: What we're doing is we're building a tremendous foundation for

111
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: the future. Tremendous foundation. Everything's been taken away. We don't

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: make ships anymore.

113
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: We don't.

114
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: You know, you just saw one of the biggest shipbuilders

115
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: in the world, one of the biggest shipping people.

116
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: In the whole world.

117
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: In the Oval office, with you in the Oval office.

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: He's announcing a twenty billion dollar investment in the United States,

119
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: which you would have never done except for this.

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: You know, Trump gets knocked a lot by people for

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: just you know, doing whatever he's got to do to

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: make his poll numbers go up with the economy good

123
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: or whatever, so that he can you know, win the

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 4: next election or stay in office. This is not something

125
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 4: that's benefiting him personally. He's going to take a tremendous

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: amount of political heat for this.

127
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: If he tries to enact this entire plan that.

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 5: He has, well, he can't run for reelection, So you know,

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: maybe that insulates some phrase like a what's the opposite

130
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 5: of a lame duck? A steroid crazed, huge, muscular duck.

131
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: But is he opposating?

132
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: Is he operating out of patriotism slash reality of he

133
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: just thinks this is the direction of the world's going

134
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: and somebody needs to do it, and it's going to

135
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: be him.

136
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, clearly, Yeah, this is one of my

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: favorite things he's doing, and it could well be a

138
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: bumpy ride. But democracies are famously reactive. You just nobody

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 5: solves a problem until it's a crisis because it's so

140
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 5: easy to demagogue. They're trying to balance the budget on

141
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 5: the backs of the poor or the old or whatever.

142
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: And you know, you can't get elected doing the right thing.

143
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: You get elected by giving out treats. And Trump is saying,

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: we can't be reactive because China will stop us, because

145
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: they are a evil, nasty, hateful, malevolent superpower. We need

146
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: to change before you know, the barbarians are actually through

147
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: the gate.

148
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: And I think he's exactly right.

149
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: I'm a little concerned even if he's one hundred percent right,

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: he doesn't have time right in one term, because it

151
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: could take thirty years to really really you know, get

152
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: our ducks in a row.

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: The second duck related metaphor in the segment.

154
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: Well, I know most of you don't watch the Evil MSNBC,

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: and for good reason, but even they seem to be

156
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: understanding his overall plot at this point. Here's David Ignatius

157
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: of The Washington Post on Morning Joe.

158
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 7: He made a very interesting comment yesterday that I did

159
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 7: pay attention to, where he said China works on one

160
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: hundred year cycle of planning. In the United States, goes

161
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 7: quarter to quarter, something I've heard from corporate CEOs for years.

162
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: And I think he's right about that.

163
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 7: I mean, that's not to endorse the policies, but we

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 7: do tend to get so caught up in these short

165
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 7: term movements that we forget about what would be good

166
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 7: for the long run in the country. But in any event,

167
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 7: Wall Street's got the jitters.

168
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Today, is well, you know, and that's Trump's point.

169
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: So they got the jetters today, they'll really have the

170
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: jitters in ten years if we don't, if we don't

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: start preparing for the direction the world is going. Wow,

172
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: Is Trump actually like thinking long term what's good for

173
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: the country at great personal harm to himself? That's not

174
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: his brand for a lot of Trump aids. Yeah, momentary popularity.

175
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: There's a lot of damage he could do to himself.

176
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: But if he truly believes this, I think he's trying

177
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: to set him up, set himself up to be remembered

178
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: as a great president who made an incredibly difficult, controversial

179
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: decision and reordered the world. Elon, I don't have it

180
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: in front of me, but he made some comment on Friday,

181
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 4: I think about having to take a look at social

182
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: security and of course that was attacked hard from the left.

183
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: You see it, he said it out loud. He said

184
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud. They want to take away

185
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: your social security. That is the most childish, moronic discussion.

186
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 4: I mean that that makes me just works every time.

187
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: That's the part that makes me desponded in both parties.

188
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: It makes me sad for the idea of self governance.

189
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 4: It makes me think democracy actually can't work. That there

190
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: aren't grown ups in both parties to say, whoa, whoa, whoa,

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: this is dumb. Look we got a program here you like,

192
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: but as it's currently constituted, it won't last, so we

193
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: have to change it. It's just math, people, This isn't politics,

194
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: all right, I don't I don't have a dog in

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: this fight.

196
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: It's just it's just math.

197
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: We can't keep giving out this much for taking, so

198
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: we have to change it.

199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: But you can't do that, and it's nuts. Yeah yeah,

200
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: And it's frustrating.

201
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 5: And this change from a global free trade you know

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: utopia to you know whatever is in the future, it's

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: going to be really really bumpy ride, and it's going

204
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 5: to be super easy to demagoge it. And there will

205
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 5: also be legitimate programs or problems. Rather, I'm sorry, I'm

206
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: always trying to read while I talk. So you've got

207
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: people pointing out that if we are indeed going to change, well,

208
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 5: we'll just say away from global free trade is the model.

209
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: Not that it exactly was, but it was as close

210
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 5: as we've ever come. That's going to bring in a

211
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: whole new set of problems about picking winners and losers.

212
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 5: For instance, what industries do we protect? What industries do

213
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: we give giant text incentives to onshore them, because in

214
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: the long term it's going to be great for the

215
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: American people. You know what industries don't get that treatment.

216
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: And I'm reminded of the utterly unholy lit of gigantic

217
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: handouts that the Biden administration did in their final hours

218
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 5: in office. I mean, there's just graft, corruption of the

219
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 5: highest level. But the beautiful thing about the free market

220
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: is that the money just chases the best deal and

221
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 5: the best goods and you know, the most productive relationships.

222
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: If we indeed start to engage in more and more protectionism,

223
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 5: you're going to see more and more corruption of that sort.

224
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: It's just it's trading one set of problems for another.

225
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: But I just the idea that we could continue on

226
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: the current course with China being our manufacturer of virtually everything.

227
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: That just won't work, obbs Obs.

228
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: We have a new Prime Minister of Canada.

229
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: His name is Mark Karney, and he's going to be

230
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: the one that tries to keep Trump from making Canada

231
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: the fifty first state. I guess I'm sure that name

232
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: will become familiar to most of us at some point.

233
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: I had a bunch of other stuff on the way

234
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: you stay here, all right? So I look up at

235
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: CBS Early Show today and they do a long hands

236
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: it actually timed at five and a half minute segment

237
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: Dylan Mulvaney. Do you remember him? That's the bud Light spokesman.

238
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: Because Dylan mulvaney has a new book out about her transgender.

239
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: Journey.

240
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: And uh, CBS gave this person this sort of time

241
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 4: like you usually give Bruce Springsteen.

242
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: If he's got a memoir out or something.

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like five minutes on the that's a that's

244
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: a big chunk of time.

245
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 5: Yet more proof that the media subculture is a weird

246
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: little representative.

247
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: Yes, very fewer, And I thought, who do you think

248
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: your audience is?

249
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: First of all your audience is old, which tends not

250
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: to be super into, you know, young transgender people. Anyway,

251
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: let's hear a little bit of the interview with mulvaney.

252
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: I have been to lose.

253
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: As she blew up online, the trans influencer became a

254
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: regular on red carpets. Performers she idolized as a child,

255
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: like Kristin Chenowith, became allies. You told your mom at

256
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: just four years old. God made a mistake.

257
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew I was a girl.

258
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 8: That was one of the purest thoughts and intentions I've

259
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 8: ever had throughout my entire life, was to be brought

260
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 8: into this world and to so clearly know who I was,

261
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 8: and then to be told otherwise.

262
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: It's very conflicting. I've raised a couple of kids through

263
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: that age. Just four year olds say lots of crazy stuff.

264
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 5: Interestingly, and we don't have much time for this, but

265
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: the old gender dysphoria world was almost entirely adult then

266
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 5: who'd felt they were women their entire lives and that

267
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 5: was it. The idea of adolescent girls deciding I'm a

268
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: dude is like out of nowhere and all of.

269
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: A sudden, a huge social contagion I want to hear

270
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 4: a little about the bud Light thing.

271
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 8: It took a lot to not feel guilty about that

272
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 8: experience because I felt like it was my fault and

273
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 8: in that me taking this one brand deal was affecting

274
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 8: trans people globally. I think extremists and transphobic media needed

275
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 8: a poster child, but I would have never taken any

276
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 8: deal that I thought could negatively impact me or the community.

277
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: Not right, I just I can't believe the CBS gave.

278
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: First of all, I can't believe somebody gave a book

279
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: deal to Dylan mullivayny for paper Doll. Who's going to

280
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: read that? And then CBS giving five and a half

281
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: minutes to it. But I'm kind of interested in what

282
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: the answer is on this question, and.

283
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: What do you say to those those who do question

284
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: gender affirming care, believing that it could be irreversible and

285
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: lead to problems later in life, even cause regrets.

286
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 8: I don't have the lived experience of a trans child

287
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 8: that was able to seek out that care, But I

288
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 8: ultimately do believe that parents know their child better than

289
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 8: a government does. We should let those families figure out

290
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 8: what is best for them.

291
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: Wow, at least goes that far.

292
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: School shouldn't be doing this the parents figure out, you know,

293
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: but I appreciate that it should be against the law

294
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: to get any sort of medical treatment for someone under age,

295
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: regardless of what the parents think.

296
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: That is really interesting.

297
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: That CBS feels like one they need to feature Dylan

298
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: mulvaney for having him five and a half minutes, and

299
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: then need to present that question in kind of a

300
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: there are those out there that think that transitioning a

301
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: child could have negative repercussions.

302
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: What do you think of that? I mean, who do

303
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: you think your audience is? That is how bubbled and

304
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: strange they are? Right?

305
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: Have you looked at the polling on this stuff? Wow,

306
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: the blindness is amazingly. There's a great new piece out

307
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: from this finished doctor. This gal's a psychiatrist, child psychiatrist

308
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 5: and was one of the leading lights in trying to

309
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 5: deal with adolescent gender dysphoria back in the day, and

310
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: she is completely against it. She and like all of Europe,

311
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: used the Dutch model, which I could bore you to

312
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 5: death with how that developed and how it went sideways

313
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: and how it's completely disavowed now in Europe because they've

314
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: worked through all this stuff, and they are astounded and

315
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: amazed that so many medical professionals in the United States

316
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 5: are ignoring them. They can't shout out loud enough. This

317
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 5: doesn't work. It's a bad idea, and the captured Far

318
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: Left Ama, for instance, continues to ignore them.

319
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty damned interesting. Armstrong and Getty.

320
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: Scientists hoping to revive the extinct wooly manmoth have taken

321
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 6: a first step by genetically engineering a long haired wooly mouse.

322
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 6: Now it's on to step two, getting it drunk enough

323
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: to have sex with an elephant.

324
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: Wow, we have a little piece of breaking news to

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 4: hit you with. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, said eighty

326
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: three percent of the US AID programs funded by his

327
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 4: agency are being.

328
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: Canceled or in his agency are being candled.

329
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 4: So you know, there was a lot of talk on

330
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 4: whenever it was Elon, can't come do this, and Marco's

331
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: mad that you're blah blah blah money. Marco announced today

332
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: that eighty three percent of the programs being funded are

333
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: being canceled, So there you go. New York Times was

334
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 4: going big with the various things that were being canceled

335
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: or defunded. That everybody's in favor of and are wonderful,

336
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 4: which is obviously going to be what they tend to

337
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: did share. Some of them included, you know, cutting edge

338
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 4: experiments on healthcare for veterans and that sort of thing,

339
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: and I certainly hope that sort of thing is reinstated

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: as quickly as possible. But it's just it's very, very

341
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 4: difficult to trust the message. I'm not worried about it.

342
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 4: We throw around so much money to so many things.

343
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 4: Let's let's go way too far the other direction, just

344
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: for once, let's just.

345
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: For a little while. Yeah, Yeah, it's got to happen.

346
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: I am going to read the rest of this article

347
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: I started during the commercial break.

348
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this.

349
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal about Gloria

350
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: already the great champion of.

351
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: Women and how mean she is to women behind the scene.

352
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: I've got it right in front of you.

353
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, the champion of the me too move and

354
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: fighting for women and sexual this and that and the other.

355
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, those women were they were just grist for

356
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: her mill.

357
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: Well we've been saying that forever, but having it proven

358
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: or validated is making me feel good.

359
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they.

360
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 5: All had to sign non disclosure agreements, which she condemns

361
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: in public all the time, but non disclosure against her

362
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 5: in her law firm, so they could treat them anyway

363
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: they wanted and abuse them and use them and the

364
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: rest of it, and the women could never speak out

365
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: or they'd get sued by that same law firm.

366
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 4: They got audio tapes too, of phone calls and that

367
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: sort of stuff, including one where this twenty four year

368
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: old and I don't know, you know, in what way

369
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: something horrible happened to her issues raped by somebody or something.

370
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 4: Gloria Allred seas an opportunity to sue a big corporation or.

371
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Something like that.

372
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 4: And you know you've seen this, if you've listened to

373
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 4: our show, you know we talk about it a lot.

374
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,120

Speaker 2: wow wow. Oh crazy.

381
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: So, speaking of sexual activity, consensual and otherwise, a couple

382
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: of stories you might enjoy here, boy, people are people

383
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: are digging this, and I don't approve of it. I

384
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 5: don't think schadenfreud is a healthy, uh.

385
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: You know, emotion at all.

386
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 5: But Hunter Biden has fallen on tough financial times.

387
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Oh you hate to hear that.

388
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: I mean his legal woes and his dad's departure from

389
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 5: the White House. I don't understand how that's related, since

390
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 5: all of Hunter's earnings were completely legitimate. But uh, the

391
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 5: former first son and following you with federal court this week,

392
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 5: said he's struggling to sell his artwork and his book

393
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 5: sales have plummeted as well. He lost his rental home

394
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 5: in the California wildfires, can't find a place to live.

395
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: He's told the judge he's in such financial straits that

396
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: he has to drop us a law drop a lawsuit

397
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: he'd filed against a former Trump aid, and hinted some

398
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: other civil lawsuits he's filed may also have to come

399
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 5: to an end.

400
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 4: I can't believe that he actually had his lawyer state

401
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: in the paperwork, my art isn't selling since my dad

402
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: left the White House. Wow, Oh that's how would that

403
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: haven't enough? I mean because arts art I.

404
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: Do totally unrelated, totally unrelated, and Van Goh isn't worth

405
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: more or less based on what his dad, the pastor

406
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: was doing.

407
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: Yeah well for again reasons that are completely unrelated. During

408
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: his mummified father's term in the White House, he sold

409
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 5: twenty seven pieces of art for an average of nearly

410
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 5: fifty five thousand dollars a piece.

411
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 4: You know, you're right, Joe Biden. This close to the

412
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 4: same condition Gene Hackman was found in.

413
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 5: But the December of twenty three he sold just one

414
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: for thirty six thousand dollars.

415
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: Wow. What was that person thinking?

416
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: And his sales of his memoir Beautiful Things dropped from

417
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 5: five hundred books a month to fewer than two.

418
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Who's not I can't even imagine.

419
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 5: Oh oh, Plus, he was really expecting to obtain paid

420
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened.

421
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: He thought he is going to go around and speak

422
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: to people. Wow, or so claims.

423
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: Anyway, you know, if Kamala had won, though, I could

424
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 4: see where they could have perhaps made it kind of

425
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: a you know, him standing up to Maga and overcoming

426
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: his addiction and turning it into some sort of ted

427
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 4: talk sort of thing goes around and gets paid to do.

428
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

429
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: His art though, was so obviously it was just a

430
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: different way of buying access. Yeah, then what the Ukrainian

431
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: oil company did? I mean is this is the same thing.

432
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 4: It's just a slight different Okay, I'll buy you the

433
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: expensive painting and you're gonna get me on a phone

434
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: call with your dad, all right, and.

435
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 5: Or my hastily created social justice green energy empowerment group

436
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: will receive fifty million dollars as you go out the door,

437
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 5: which might have happened ran as the Thieving Mummy anyway,

438
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: this'd be an interesting It's like it's like the Mummy

439
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 5: meets the Godfather. We got a mummy who's a thief.

440
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 5: He's like a gangster mummy. That was Joe Biden a

441
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 5: gangster mummy.

442
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: Well, and how did Joe? What is hunter? In his

443
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 2: mid fifties?

444
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 4: He's got a lot of life left to live if

445
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: he's broke, and no obvious means of making more money.

446
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: Right, right? How old is he?

447
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 5: Usually they give an age for people in every news

448
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: article about them, but for whatever reason, the Washington Times

449
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 5: does not engage in that.

450
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: Katie, what do you have for us. He he is

451
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: fifty five years old.

452
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, it's a little young to be highly in

453
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: debt with no way to make any money. And I'm

454
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 5: sure not a dollar saved, all right, Right, and speaking

455
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 5: of sexual activity again, the FBI is investigating a secret

456
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 5: honeypot operation that targeted President Trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign.

457
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: According to a recent report.

458
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: Apparently, Cash Bettell and Dan Bongino are looking for two

459
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 5: female agents who took part in an off the book's

460
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 5: investigation that former FBI Director James Coby launched in twenty fifteen.

461
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: According to The Washington Times, the agents who were undercover

462
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 5: and again this was off the books, were so called

463
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 5: honeypot agents, a term that refers to an undercover operative,

464
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 5: usually a woman who feigns sexual romantic interest to obtain

465
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 5: information from a target.

466
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: That would make me so mad I can find out. Ah,

467
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: you just want to that you get some secret information

468
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: on me. Ah crap, you're not hot for me. Dang it.

469
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: I thought this was from a big comeback as a stud.

470
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 5: So this comes after The Times reported in early or

471
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: in October twenty four that the House Judiciary Committee was

472
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 5: looking in to whistleblowers claim that the agency, the FBI,

473
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: targeted Trump quote soon after he announced his presidential campaign

474
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 5: in June twenty fifteen, and what was described as a

475
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 5: phishing expedition to find something which is a little bit redundant.

476
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 5: But in a protected disclosure, the whistle blower, an FBI agent,

477
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 5: claimed that two undercover agents had infiltrated Trump's presidential campaign

478
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 5: and ben instructed to act as honeypots while traveling with Trump.

479
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 5: According to the outlet, and this whistleblower personally knew that

480
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: Komi had ordered an FBI investigation against Trump and personally

481
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: directed it. Wow and again, it did not appear to

482
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 5: target a specific crime, but was more of what agents

483
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 5: would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating

484
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 5: about Trump.

485
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: I don't like the term honey pot. We'll come up

486
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: with a different one, too, Sticky hot, babe.

487
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: It's it's very much it's not a law enforcement it's

488
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 5: an espionage, political espionage. I wonder if they'll find anything

489
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: on this, and if you know, they'll identify the honeypot agents,

490
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 5: and whether they'll pose provocatively and skimpy aware.

491
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm just asking the.

492
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 5: Questions everybody's thinking, Oh my god, how sweet as the honey.

493
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: So tawdry on both ends. Just there, you're pretending I'm

494
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: giving up secrets because I think I might, you know,

495
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 4: get some friction from you.

496
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a that's a romantic to put so, so

497
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: that's my point. It's just tawdry on both ends.

498
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 5: Wow wow, yeah, no kidding, you're pretending to want me

499
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 5: to like well, and let let's not forget all of

500
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 5: this is completely inappropriate or of course that you're you're

501
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 5: doing this at all, but you're gonna pretend to be

502
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: hot for me to get some sort of incriminating information

503
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 5: against the guy who's like unindicted, and you know there

504
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 5: are no warrants or.

505
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: Anything like that.

506
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: And in the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and spill

507
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 5: the beans, hoping I'm I'm gonna get my uh blank

508
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 5: blank or whatever. Yeah, I know.

509
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: Let's be better than that, America.

510
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 5: Yes, let's be better than that, says Hunter Biden with

511
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 5: a schlong out and a gun in his hand. Let's

512
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 5: do better in that America. And by my out on

513
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 5: one of my paintings, would you is he gonna be

514
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 5: able to stay on the right side of sobriety. Now

515
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 5: that he's broke, and and and and and it starts

516
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 5: to become more more obvious to him that the days

517
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 5: of driving around in a one hundred and eighty thousand

518
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 5: dollars Porsche and having hot chicks at my side are

519
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: over and are never coming back.

520
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Has he been disbarred after his convictions?

521
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 5: Because I mean he could open up personal injury shop

522
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 5: or something like that, you know, big billboards by the

523
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 5: side of the highway.

524
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: I give you my word as a Biden, We'll get

525
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: the top settlement. Gotta do something that's pretty funny. Been

526
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: rear ended. Does your neck hurt, well, it certainly should.

527
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: Call hunter. We'll hunt for the best settlement the law allows. Exactly.

528
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: We'll finish strong next time.

529
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 9: Strong Vans with his three year old daughter approached on

530
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 9: the sidewalks of Cincinnati on Saturday by protesters supportive of

531
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 9: Ukraine Dance, posting that the protesters followed us around in

532
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 9: shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared, though

533
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 9: noting it was a mostly respectful conversation.

534
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was on NBC News. Even I appreciate that.

535
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: I don't like that new thing that we do in

536
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 4: America on either side. So let's stop doing that. God,

537
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: especially when they got the kid with them.

538
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Oh yeah, be rating somebody loudly angry

539
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: and public will or with their children. You're you're a

540
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 5: monster speaking of me, and like he's going to say,

541
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: you know, you know, your loud, unhinged yelling is really

542
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 5: convinced me that I've been wrong all along.

543
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: Thank you for sharing.

544
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: Well, it's an attempt to scare you into doing it,

545
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: that you'll be physically scared to go a certain direction,

546
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: which is not a good way to run a country.

547
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: My speaking of kids, I was with my son had

548
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 4: his birthday on Friday. I talked a lot about that,

549
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 4: and we went and did something maybe I'll talk about tomorrow,

550
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: but we Saturday did his birthday meal and I was

551
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: kind of making plans and then I decided, well I

552
00:29:59,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: had it.

553
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: I want to ask him what he wants to eat.

554
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: So if you could eat anywhere, you know, when close

555
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 4: enough we can get to where would you like to

556
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: eat for your birthday? He said, can I choose whatever

557
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,239
Speaker 4: I want? And I said, yeah, I think so if

558
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: it's a legitimate restaurant. Kentucky Fried Chicken m I said, really,

559
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: I said, I mean, you know, I know you like Kentucky,

560
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: but of all the places we could eat, that's what

561
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: you said.

562
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: That's what I want more than anything. So sounds like

563
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: you're trying to put a greasy thumb on the scales here. Yeah,

564
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: I was.

565
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 5: I can't even I can't even wolf that down anymore.

566
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: You just can't because you know what's coming. Wow.

567
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: I didn't need that. Nobody needed that. Why did you say?

568
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: Who's listening that wants to hear you say that?

569
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: Honesty is my hallmark and accuracy. But yeah, so we

570
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 5: went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for his birthday meal. Yeah,

571
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: I gotta admit I would be somewhat disappointed. I was.

572
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we were gonna go eat a you know,

573
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: a decent meal somewhere. That's kind of excited about it.

574
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 5: But I was talking in meatballs at home. That was

575
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 5: my choice, as you recalled just a few weeks ago.

576
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I can't cook really, so that's that's

577
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: what limits that I don't.

578
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 4: That's it's an unfortunate and I hate the fact that

579
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: that's true, that I don't have some meal that I

580
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: craft for them.

581
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: That is one of their favorite meals. But I don't,

582
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: and I don't suppose at this point I'm going to

583
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: change that was I gonna say?

584
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 5: I soid, Oh, well you can, I mean doing pasta

585
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: is not. Surely you can cook pasta, right, yeah, but

586
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 5: not in a way that's going to make it your

587
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: favorite meal. Probably a good sauce out of a jargon,

588
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: meatballs out of the whatever, a meat case, good meatballs

589
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 5: out of the meat case.

590
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: Wherever you get meat falls.

591
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 4: We had some good pizza the other night, and I

592
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: was talking to my kids about pizza and how pizza

593
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: has stayed roughly the same price since I was his age.

594
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 4: And that's why it's so crappy now, is that they

595
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 4: must have just decided that they couldn't go up with

596
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: inflation over the years, so they kept using And there's

597
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: a bunch of chains that have done this. I mean,

598
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 4: this is documented using crappier and crappier ingredients over the

599
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 4: years to try to keep the prices sort of the same.

600
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: And you know a lot of pizza that I used

601
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: to love is now not edible. I mean various houses

602
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 4: of pizza, if you know what I would I'm saying, Yeah,

603
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 4: huts of pizza. I like my pizza to come in hunts.

604
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: I used to love their pizza.

605
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming huts of pizza.

606
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: Somehow they managed to have the same price now as

607
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: they did in nineteen ninety five.

608
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Some had to give rare. Oh wait, what that sausage?

609
00:32:48,080 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure I approve of this fireworks. There's even a

610
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: fireworks display at the end.

611
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: Oh Ja, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe who getting.

612
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 5: Let's get a finals out from everybody on the crew

613
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 5: to wrap of the day, Michael Angelow, do you have

614
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: a final thought for us?

615
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

616
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 7: You know, this morning the elevators were broken and I

617
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 7: got really winded.

618
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: If I had to go up another floor or two,

619
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: I would have just got on my cellphone and called

620
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: in sick. I think yeah from the stairway. Yeah, and

621
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,239
Speaker 2: slumped on down the stairs. He came up.

622
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 5: Katie Greener seemed to use woman is giggling. Do you

623
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 5: have a title thought, Katie?

624
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Yes?

625
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 8: I had every intention of following my diet this weekend,

626
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 8: but one of you guys last week mentioned a barbecue

627
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 8: chicken pizza, so I went for it this weekend.

628
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh yes, so good? Ooh little onion on there barbecue

629
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: so jack.

630
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: Final thought for us, Yeah, funny you should mention diet Michael.

631
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: I need to use the stairs every single day. I

632
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: should walk to work actually carrying a heavy weight. The

633
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: scale was not kind to me this morning. The scale

634
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: really showed me some tough love this morning. Technically, you

635
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: are walking door carrying a heavyweight. It's your ass.

636
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 5: My final thought, and I can't be the only one

637
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 5: between the time change and allergies. I can't keep my

638
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: eyes open. I just want to curl up and take

639
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: a nap. I am off man. Allergies are bad right now,

640
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 5: and it's just your eyes feel like they feel when

641
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 5: you're super tired. So the combination of the thing. So oh,

642
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 5: I just want to take a nap.

643
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty wrapick up. Another grueling four hour workday.

650
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: Pick ups, Mangy Swagg while you're at the site.

651

Speaker 6: Huh.

652
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: Too much news every day somebody needs to do something

653
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: about that.

654
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680

Speaker 2: Let's go with it.

660
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 5: And according to JD power drivers are underwhelmed by gesture controls,

661
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: where one can say, increase the volume by rotating an

662
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 5: imaginary knob in the air.

663
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: You're an imaginary knob. Wow. Armstrong and Getty
