WEBVTT - Joe Biden... The Gangster Mummy!

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Jettating and he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 3>You look at their theories on tax You know, all

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 3>my life, I've watched politics.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I've always liked it. I've watched it.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 3>I participated, but from the standpoint of a donor. But

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I participated in all my life, I've watched politicians.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 2>We will cut your taxes.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 3>We will cut your These people say we're going to

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 3>raise your taxes. This is the only time it's never said.

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I've never heard it. They say it, even if they

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>don't meet it. We will cut you to These people

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 3>say that we're going to give you the biggest tax

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 3>grease increase you've ever had, and that's what they're running on.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 4>That is an interesting point. And I wonder if it's

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 4>just the realization of half the country doesn't pay taxes,

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 4>so they don't care.

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they want that.

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just it's just there's a bigger chunk of

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 4>America than has ever been You can look at the

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 4>charts that doesn't care if taxes go.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 5>Up, right, So maybe it's a winning issue. Now it's

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 5>more services for them. Honestly, Yeah, keep that gravy train

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 5>or rolling. Unlike the bullet train, the gravy train is

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 5>a rolling.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like we found out in the last twenty

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 4>four hours that this is absolutely true, that Trump's got

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 4>a grand strategy to deal with China, knowing they think

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 4>long term and we think short term, to try to

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>bring manufacturing back to the United States because that's the

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 4>direction the world is going.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>More on that in a second.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 4>As far as to the tariffs and how that's going

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 4>to affect our economy, he has asked a the kind

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 4>of questions speaking of presidents always sa they're going to

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 4>lower taxes. Presidents always say no, there's not going to

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 4>be a recession. But that's not what Trump said here.

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, I know that you inherited a mess, and you

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>say I don't want to have been here.

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Are you expecting a recession this year? I hate to

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 3>predict things like that. There is a period of transition

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 3>because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 3>back to America. That's a big thing, and there are

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>always periods of it takes a little time. It takes

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 3>a little time, but I don't I think it should

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>be great for us.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it should be great.

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.839
<v Speaker 4>And that's definitely not a no. I don't think there's

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a session. He was, you know, his mind's whirling.

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 4>He understands the way the media works and politics works.

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 4>If he says no, and then there is one he

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 4>has that that's you know, running on a loop constantly

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>sure right.

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 5>For what it's worth, I thought this is interesting you

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 5>if you ask a quote unquote expert, it's mostly going

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 5>to be a professor, and professors are all lefties, as

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 5>we've all realized in recent days. But when you ask

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 5>like business slash financial experts about this sort of thing,

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a much better you know, gauge. For instance,

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 5>the Journal asked economists at some of the global banks

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 5>about the chance of US recession.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>The JP Morgan.

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 5>Chase guys raised the risk of recession from thirty percent

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 5>to forty percent from the start of the year till now,

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 5>so they see it as less than half likely, but

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 5>more than they did before the terroriffs.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 4>I meant to inject earlier because we've we've said this

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 4>many times over the years. Recession gets thrown around like

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 4>like do you even remember the last recession? Of course

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 4>you do, because half your neighbor's starved to death.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure of the bodies filed in the streets. So good figure.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>I've lived through so many recessions and I don't remember

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>when the last one was. I mean, they're not enjoyable,

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 4>and if you lose your job, obviously it's awful.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>But they come it's not it's not.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, how does that get presented in the news, like

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 5>it's I don't know, the COVID pandemic or like something

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 5>so incredibly disruptive to your life? Oh yeah, they really

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 5>ought to have a low voiced guy with lots of echo.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Say recession, un shit, un shut, un should the way

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>they talk about it. I mean, I don't want one,

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>but they're not. They happen every now and then.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, Golden Sachs said it's now twenty percent likely, up

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 5>from fifteen percent, and Morgan Stanley folks say, yeah, growth

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 5>around one and a half percent, kind of not a

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 5>recession but minor growth.

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>So you know, nobody's panicking.

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Everybody's thinking, yeah, it might be more likely, just a

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 5>little perspective, but I think what Trump is hinting at

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 5>and I think he might be better off if you'd

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 5>just say it out loud.

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Is Look, the world is changing a lot. It's gonna

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 4>be us versus China. China's gonna have their big chunk

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 4>of the world. We're gonna have our big chunk of

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 4>the world, and we got to make everything over on

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 4>our chunk of the world, preferably in the United States,

0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 4>or we're doomed.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 2>He talks a little bit about that.

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Here, you said, look, we're going to have a disruption,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 6>but we're okay with that.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 4>Is that what you meant?

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 3>The stock market going down is the disruption?

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>What were you alluding to?

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Look, what I have to do is build a strong country.

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 3>You can't really watch the stock market. If you look

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 3>at China, they have one hundred year perspective. We have

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 3>a quarter. We go by quarters. That's true, and you

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 3>can't go by that. You have to do what's right.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 3>What we're doing is we're building a tremendous foundation for

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 3>the future. Tremendous foundation. Everything's been taken away. We don't

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>make ships anymore.

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>We don't.

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, you just saw one of the biggest shipbuilders

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 3>in the world, one of the biggest shipping people.

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>In the whole world.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 3>In the Oval office, with you in the Oval office.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 3>He's announcing a twenty billion dollar investment in the United States,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>which you would have never done except for this.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, Trump gets knocked a lot by people for

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 4>just you know, doing whatever he's got to do to

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 4>make his poll numbers go up with the economy good

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, so that he can you know, win the

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 4>next election or stay in office. This is not something

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 4>that's benefiting him personally. He's going to take a tremendous

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 4>amount of political heat for this.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>If he tries to enact this entire plan that.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 5>He has, well, he can't run for reelection, So you know,

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 5>maybe that insulates some phrase like a what's the opposite

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 5>of a lame duck? A steroid crazed, huge, muscular duck.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 5>But is he opposating?

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Is he operating out of patriotism slash reality of he

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 4>just thinks this is the direction of the world's going

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 4>and somebody needs to do it, and it's going to

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 4>be him.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 5>I think, yeah, clearly, Yeah, this is one of my

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 5>favorite things he's doing, and it could well be a

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 5>bumpy ride. But democracies are famously reactive. You just nobody

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 5>solves a problem until it's a crisis because it's so

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 5>easy to demagogue. They're trying to balance the budget on

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 5>the backs of the poor or the old or whatever.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 5>And you know, you can't get elected doing the right thing.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 5>You get elected by giving out treats. And Trump is saying,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 5>we can't be reactive because China will stop us, because

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 5>they are a evil, nasty, hateful, malevolent superpower. We need

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 5>to change before you know, the barbarians are actually through

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 5>the gate.

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think he's exactly right.

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm a little concerned even if he's one hundred percent right,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't have time right in one term, because it

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 5>could take thirty years to really really you know, get

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 5>our ducks in a row.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>The second duck related metaphor in the segment.

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, I know most of you don't watch the Evil MSNBC,

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 4>and for good reason, but even they seem to be

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>understanding his overall plot at this point. Here's David Ignatius

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 4>of The Washington Post on Morning Joe.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 7>He made a very interesting comment yesterday that I did

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 7>pay attention to, where he said China works on one

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 7>hundred year cycle of planning. In the United States, goes

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 7>quarter to quarter, something I've heard from corporate CEOs for years.

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think he's right about that.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 7>I mean, that's not to endorse the policies, but we

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 7>do tend to get so caught up in these short

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 7>term movements that we forget about what would be good

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 7>for the long run in the country. But in any event,

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 7>Wall Street's got the jitters.

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Today, is well, you know, and that's Trump's point.

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 4>So they got the jetters today, they'll really have the

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 4>jitters in ten years if we don't, if we don't

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 4>start preparing for the direction the world is going. Wow,

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Is Trump actually like thinking long term what's good for

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 4>the country at great personal harm to himself? That's not

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 4>his brand for a lot of Trump aids. Yeah, momentary popularity.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of damage he could do to himself.

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 4>But if he truly believes this, I think he's trying

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 4>to set him up, set himself up to be remembered

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 4>as a great president who made an incredibly difficult, controversial

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 4>decision and reordered the world. Elon, I don't have it

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 4>in front of me, but he made some comment on Friday,

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 4>I think about having to take a look at social

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 4>security and of course that was attacked hard from the left.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 4>You see it, he said it out loud. He said

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 4>the quiet part out loud. They want to take away

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 4>your social security. That is the most childish, moronic discussion.

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean that that makes me just works every time.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 4>That's the part that makes me desponded in both parties.

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 4>It makes me sad for the idea of self governance.

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.719
<v Speaker 4>It makes me think democracy actually can't work. That there

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 4>aren't grown ups in both parties to say, whoa, whoa, whoa,

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>this is dumb. Look we got a program here you like,

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 4>but as it's currently constituted, it won't last, so we

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 4>have to change it. It's just math, people, This isn't politics,

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 4>all right, I don't I don't have a dog in

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 4>this fight.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just math.

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>We can't keep giving out this much for taking, so

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 4>we have to change it.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>But you can't do that, and it's nuts. Yeah yeah,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's frustrating.

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 5>And this change from a global free trade you know

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 5>utopia to you know whatever is in the future, it's

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 5>going to be really really bumpy ride, and it's going

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 5>to be super easy to demagoge it. And there will

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.079
<v Speaker 5>also be legitimate programs or problems. Rather, I'm sorry, I'm

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 5>always trying to read while I talk. So you've got

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 5>people pointing out that if we are indeed going to change, well,

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 5>we'll just say away from global free trade is the model.

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 5>Not that it exactly was, but it was as close

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 5>as we've ever come. That's going to bring in a

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 5>whole new set of problems about picking winners and losers.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 5>For instance, what industries do we protect? What industries do

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 5>we give giant text incentives to onshore them, because in

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 5>the long term it's going to be great for the

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 5>American people. You know what industries don't get that treatment.

0:10:55.240 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 5>And I'm reminded of the utterly unholy lit of gigantic

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 5>handouts that the Biden administration did in their final hours

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 5>in office. I mean, there's just graft, corruption of the

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 5>highest level. But the beautiful thing about the free market

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 5>is that the money just chases the best deal and

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 5>the best goods and you know, the most productive relationships.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 5>If we indeed start to engage in more and more protectionism,

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 5>you're going to see more and more corruption of that sort.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 5>It's just it's trading one set of problems for another.

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 5>But I just the idea that we could continue on

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 5>the current course with China being our manufacturer of virtually everything.

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 5>That just won't work, obbs Obs.

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>We have a new Prime Minister of Canada.

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 4>His name is Mark Karney, and he's going to be

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 4>the one that tries to keep Trump from making Canada

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 4>the fifty first state. I guess I'm sure that name

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 4>will become familiar to most of us at some point.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 4>I had a bunch of other stuff on the way

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 4>you stay here, all right? So I look up at

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 4>CBS Early Show today and they do a long hands

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 4>it actually timed at five and a half minute segment

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Dylan Mulvaney. Do you remember him? That's the bud Light spokesman.

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Because Dylan mulvaney has a new book out about her transgender.

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Journey.

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 4>And uh, CBS gave this person this sort of time

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 4>like you usually give Bruce Springsteen.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>If he's got a memoir out or something.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like five minutes on the that's a that's

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 4>a big chunk of time.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 5>Yet more proof that the media subculture is a weird

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 5>little representative.

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, very fewer, And I thought, who do you think

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>your audience is?

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 4>First of all your audience is old, which tends not

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 4>to be super into, you know, young transgender people. Anyway,

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 4>let's hear a little bit of the interview with mulvaney.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I have been to lose.

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>As she blew up online, the trans influencer became a

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>regular on red carpets. Performers she idolized as a child,

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>like Kristin Chenowith, became allies. You told your mom at

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>just four years old. God made a mistake.

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I knew I was a girl.

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 8>That was one of the purest thoughts and intentions I've

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 8>ever had throughout my entire life, was to be brought

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 8>into this world and to so clearly know who I was,

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 8>and then to be told otherwise.

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>It's very conflicting. I've raised a couple of kids through

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that age. Just four year olds say lots of crazy stuff.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 5>Interestingly, and we don't have much time for this, but

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 5>the old gender dysphoria world was almost entirely adult then

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 5>who'd felt they were women their entire lives and that

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 5>was it. The idea of adolescent girls deciding I'm a

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 5>dude is like out of nowhere and all of.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 4>A sudden, a huge social contagion I want to hear

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 4>a little about the bud Light thing.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 8>It took a lot to not feel guilty about that

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 8>experience because I felt like it was my fault and

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 8>in that me taking this one brand deal was affecting

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 8>trans people globally. I think extremists and transphobic media needed

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 8>a poster child, but I would have never taken any

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 8>deal that I thought could negatively impact me or the community.

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Not right, I just I can't believe the CBS gave.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I can't believe somebody gave a book

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 4>deal to Dylan mullivayny for paper Doll. Who's going to

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 4>read that? And then CBS giving five and a half

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 4>minutes to it. But I'm kind of interested in what

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 4>the answer is on this question, and.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you say to those those who do question

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>gender affirming care, believing that it could be irreversible and

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>lead to problems later in life, even cause regrets.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 8>I don't have the lived experience of a trans child

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 8>that was able to seek out that care, But I

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 8>ultimately do believe that parents know their child better than

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 8>a government does. We should let those families figure out

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 8>what is best for them.

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, at least goes that far.

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 4>School shouldn't be doing this the parents figure out, you know,

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 4>but I appreciate that it should be against the law

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 4>to get any sort of medical treatment for someone under age,

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 4>regardless of what the parents think.

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 2>That is really interesting.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 4>That CBS feels like one they need to feature Dylan

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 4>mulvaney for having him five and a half minutes, and

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 4>then need to present that question in kind of a

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 4>there are those out there that think that transitioning a

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 4>child could have negative repercussions.

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 2>What do you think of that? I mean, who do

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>you think your audience is? That is how bubbled and

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>strange they are? Right?

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 5>Have you looked at the polling on this stuff? Wow,

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 5>the blindness is amazingly. There's a great new piece out

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 5>from this finished doctor. This gal's a psychiatrist, child psychiatrist

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 5>and was one of the leading lights in trying to

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 5>deal with adolescent gender dysphoria back in the day, and

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 5>she is completely against it. She and like all of Europe,

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 5>used the Dutch model, which I could bore you to

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 5>death with how that developed and how it went sideways

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 5>and how it's completely disavowed now in Europe because they've

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 5>worked through all this stuff, and they are astounded and

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 5>amazed that so many medical professionals in the United States

0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 5>are ignoring them. They can't shout out loud enough. This

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 5>doesn't work. It's a bad idea, and the captured Far

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Left Ama, for instance, continues to ignore them.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty damned interesting. Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 6>Scientists hoping to revive the extinct wooly manmoth have taken

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.119
<v Speaker 6>a first step by genetically engineering a long haired wooly mouse.

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 6>Now it's on to step two, getting it drunk enough

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 6>to have sex with an elephant.

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Wow, we have a little piece of breaking news to

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:42.719
<v Speaker 4>hit you with. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, said eighty

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 4>three percent of the US AID programs funded by his

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 4>agency are being.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Canceled or in his agency are being candled.

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 4>So you know, there was a lot of talk on

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 4>whenever it was Elon, can't come do this, and Marco's

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 4>mad that you're blah blah blah money. Marco announced today

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 4>that eighty three percent of the programs being funded are

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 4>being canceled, So there you go. New York Times was

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 4>going big with the various things that were being canceled

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 4>or defunded. That everybody's in favor of and are wonderful,

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 4>which is obviously going to be what they tend to

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 4>did share. Some of them included, you know, cutting edge

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 4>experiments on healthcare for veterans and that sort of thing,

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 4>and I certainly hope that sort of thing is reinstated

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 4>as quickly as possible. But it's just it's very, very

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.159
<v Speaker 4>difficult to trust the message. I'm not worried about it.

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 4>We throw around so much money to so many things.

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 4>Let's let's go way too far the other direction, just

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 4>for once, let's just.

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>For a little while. Yeah, Yeah, it's got to happen.

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 4>I am going to read the rest of this article

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 4>I started during the commercial break.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you saw this.

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 4>There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal about Gloria

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 4>already the great champion of.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Women and how mean she is to women behind the scene.

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>I've got it right in front of you.

0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, oh, the champion of the me too move and

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 5>fighting for women and sexual this and that and the other.

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, those women were they were just grist for

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>her mill.

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Well we've been saying that forever, but having it proven

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 4>or validated is making me feel good.

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And they.

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 5>All had to sign non disclosure agreements, which she condemns

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 5>in public all the time, but non disclosure against her

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 5>in her law firm, so they could treat them anyway

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 5>they wanted and abuse them and use them and the

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 5>rest of it, and the women could never speak out

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 5>or they'd get sued by that same law firm.

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 4>They got audio tapes too, of phone calls and that

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 4>sort of stuff, including one where this twenty four year

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 4>old and I don't know, you know, in what way

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 4>something horrible happened to her issues raped by somebody or something.

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.640
<v Speaker 4>Gloria Allred seas an opportunity to sue a big corporation or.

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Something like that.

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 4>And you know you've seen this, if you've listened to

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 4>our show, you know we talk about it a lot.

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Gloria Alredchell hug these people on Cameron put in front

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 4>of a microphone and have tears in her eyes. Anyway,

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 4>behind the scenes, this girl was crying and Gloria Red

0:19:58.640 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 4>seck cry and grow up.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>She said to her, how old are you? Twenty four?

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Grow up? So you're rate get over it? Yeah, wow, wow,

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 2>wow wow. Oh crazy.

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 5>So, speaking of sexual activity, consensual and otherwise, a couple

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 5>of stories you might enjoy here, boy, people are people

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 5>are digging this, and I don't approve of it. I

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.360
<v Speaker 5>don't think schadenfreud is a healthy, uh.

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:23.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, emotion at all.

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 5>But Hunter Biden has fallen on tough financial times.

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh you hate to hear that.

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean his legal woes and his dad's departure from

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 5>the White House. I don't understand how that's related, since

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 5>all of Hunter's earnings were completely legitimate. But uh, the

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 5>former first son and following you with federal court this week,

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 5>said he's struggling to sell his artwork and his book

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 5>sales have plummeted as well. He lost his rental home

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 5>in the California wildfires, can't find a place to live.

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 5>He's told the judge he's in such financial straits that

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 5>he has to drop us a law drop a lawsuit

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 5>he'd filed against a former Trump aid, and hinted some

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 5>other civil lawsuits he's filed may also have to come

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:02.880
<v Speaker 5>to an end.

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.160
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe that he actually had his lawyer state

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 4>in the paperwork, my art isn't selling since my dad

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 4>left the White House. Wow, Oh that's how would that

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 4>haven't enough? I mean because arts art I.

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Do totally unrelated, totally unrelated, and Van Goh isn't worth

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 2>more or less based on what his dad, the pastor

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 2>was doing.

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah well for again reasons that are completely unrelated. During

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 5>his mummified father's term in the White House, he sold

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 5>twenty seven pieces of art for an average of nearly

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 5>fifty five thousand dollars a piece.

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.679
<v Speaker 4>You know, you're right, Joe Biden. This close to the

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.399
<v Speaker 4>same condition Gene Hackman was found in.

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 5>But the December of twenty three he sold just one

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 5>for thirty six thousand dollars.

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:52.439
<v Speaker 2>Wow. What was that person thinking?

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 5>And his sales of his memoir Beautiful Things dropped from

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 5>five hundred books a month to fewer than two.

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Who's not I can't even imagine.

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh oh, Plus, he was really expecting to obtain paid

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 5>speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened.

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 2>He thought he is going to go around and speak

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 2>to people. Wow, or so claims.

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, you know, if Kamala had won, though, I could

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 4>see where they could have perhaps made it kind of

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 4>a you know, him standing up to Maga and overcoming

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 4>his addiction and turning it into some sort of ted

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 4>talk sort of thing goes around and gets paid to do.

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's.

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 4>His art though, was so obviously it was just a

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 4>different way of buying access. Yeah, then what the Ukrainian

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 4>oil company did? I mean is this is the same thing.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 4>It's just a slight different Okay, I'll buy you the

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 4>expensive painting and you're gonna get me on a phone

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 4>call with your dad, all right, and.

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Or my hastily created social justice green energy empowerment group

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 5>will receive fifty million dollars as you go out the door,

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 5>which might have happened ran as the Thieving Mummy anyway,

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 5>this'd be an interesting It's like it's like the Mummy

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 5>meets the Godfather. We got a mummy who's a thief.

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 5>He's like a gangster mummy. That was Joe Biden a

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 5>gangster mummy.

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, and how did Joe? What is hunter? In his

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:30.719
<v Speaker 2>mid fifties?

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 4>He's got a lot of life left to live if

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 4>he's broke, and no obvious means of making more money.

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, right? How old is he?

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Usually they give an age for people in every news

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 5>article about them, but for whatever reason, the Washington Times

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 5>does not engage in that.

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Katie, what do you have for us. He he is

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>fifty five years old.

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Yeah, it's a little young to be highly in

0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 5>debt with no way to make any money. And I'm

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 5>sure not a dollar saved, all right, Right, and speaking

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:10.360
<v Speaker 5>of sexual activity again, the FBI is investigating a secret

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:16.400
<v Speaker 5>honeypot operation that targeted President Trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign.

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 2>According to a recent report.

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 5>Apparently, Cash Bettell and Dan Bongino are looking for two

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 5>female agents who took part in an off the book's

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 5>investigation that former FBI Director James Coby launched in twenty fifteen.

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 5>According to The Washington Times, the agents who were undercover

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 5>and again this was off the books, were so called

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:45.479
<v Speaker 5>honeypot agents, a term that refers to an undercover operative,

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 5>usually a woman who feigns sexual romantic interest to obtain

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 5>information from a target.

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>That would make me so mad I can find out. Ah,

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you just want to that you get some secret information

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.879
<v Speaker 2>on me. Ah crap, you're not hot for me. Dang it.

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 5>I thought this was from a big comeback as a stud.

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 5>So this comes after The Times reported in early or

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 5>in October twenty four that the House Judiciary Committee was

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.640
<v Speaker 5>looking in to whistleblowers claim that the agency, the FBI,

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 5>targeted Trump quote soon after he announced his presidential campaign

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 5>in June twenty fifteen, and what was described as a

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 5>phishing expedition to find something which is a little bit redundant.

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 5>But in a protected disclosure, the whistle blower, an FBI agent,

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 5>claimed that two undercover agents had infiltrated Trump's presidential campaign

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 5>and ben instructed to act as honeypots while traveling with Trump.

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 5>According to the outlet, and this whistleblower personally knew that

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 5>Komi had ordered an FBI investigation against Trump and personally

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 5>directed it. Wow and again, it did not appear to

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 5>target a specific crime, but was more of what agents

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 5>would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 5>about Trump.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:09.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the term honey pot. We'll come up

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.439
<v Speaker 2>with a different one, too, Sticky hot, babe.

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 5>It's it's very much it's not a law enforcement it's

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 5>an espionage, political espionage. I wonder if they'll find anything

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 5>on this, and if you know, they'll identify the honeypot agents,

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 5>and whether they'll pose provocatively and skimpy aware.

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just asking the.

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Questions everybody's thinking, Oh my god, how sweet as the honey.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 4>So tawdry on both ends. Just there, you're pretending I'm

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 4>giving up secrets because I think I might, you know,

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 4>get some friction from you.

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's a that's a romantic to put so, so

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 2>that's my point. It's just tawdry on both ends.

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Wow wow, yeah, no kidding, you're pretending to want me

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 5>to like well, and let let's not forget all of

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 5>this is completely inappropriate or of course that you're you're

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 5>doing this at all, but you're gonna pretend to be

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 5>hot for me to get some sort of incriminating information

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.479
<v Speaker 5>against the guy who's like unindicted, and you know there

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 5>are no warrants or.

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Anything like that.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 5>And in the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and spill

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 5>the beans, hoping I'm I'm gonna get my uh blank

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 5>blank or whatever. Yeah, I know.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's be better than that, America.

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes, let's be better than that, says Hunter Biden with

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.160
<v Speaker 5>a schlong out and a gun in his hand. Let's

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.879
<v Speaker 5>do better in that America. And by my out on

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 5>one of my paintings, would you is he gonna be

0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 5>able to stay on the right side of sobriety. Now

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 5>that he's broke, and and and and and it starts

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 5>to become more more obvious to him that the days

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 5>of driving around in a one hundred and eighty thousand

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.360
<v Speaker 5>dollars Porsche and having hot chicks at my side are

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 5>over and are never coming back.

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Has he been disbarred after his convictions?

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.880
<v Speaker 5>Because I mean he could open up personal injury shop

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 5>or something like that, you know, big billboards by the

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:23.479
<v Speaker 5>side of the highway.

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I give you my word as a Biden, We'll get

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the top settlement. Gotta do something that's pretty funny. Been

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:37.639
<v Speaker 2>rear ended. Does your neck hurt, well, it certainly should.

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Call hunter. We'll hunt for the best settlement the law allows. Exactly.

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll finish strong next time.

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 9>Strong Vans with his three year old daughter approached on

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 9>the sidewalks of Cincinnati on Saturday by protesters supportive of

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 9>Ukraine Dance, posting that the protesters followed us around in

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 9>shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared, though

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 9>noting it was a mostly respectful conversation.

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was on NBC News. Even I appreciate that.

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't like that new thing that we do in

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 4>America on either side. So let's stop doing that. God,

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 4>especially when they got the kid with them.

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, Oh yeah, be rating somebody loudly angry

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 5>and public will or with their children. You're you're a

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 5>monster speaking of me, and like he's going to say,

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, you know, your loud, unhinged yelling is really

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 5>convinced me that I've been wrong all along.

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for sharing.

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's an attempt to scare you into doing it,

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 4>that you'll be physically scared to go a certain direction,

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 4>which is not a good way to run a country.

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 4>My speaking of kids, I was with my son had

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 4>his birthday on Friday. I talked a lot about that,

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 4>and we went and did something maybe I'll talk about tomorrow,

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 4>but we Saturday did his birthday meal and I was

0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of making plans and then I decided, well I

0:29:59.600 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 4>had it.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask him what he wants to eat.

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 4>So if you could eat anywhere, you know, when close

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 4>enough we can get to where would you like to

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 4>eat for your birthday? He said, can I choose whatever

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:10.239
<v Speaker 4>I want? And I said, yeah, I think so if

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 4>it's a legitimate restaurant. Kentucky Fried Chicken m I said, really,

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 4>I said, I mean, you know, I know you like Kentucky,

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 4>but of all the places we could eat, that's what

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 4>you said.

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what I want more than anything. So sounds like

0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to put a greasy thumb on the scales here. Yeah,

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 5>I can't even I can't even wolf that down anymore.

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 5>You just can't because you know what's coming. Wow.

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't need that. Nobody needed that. Why did you say?

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Who's listening that wants to hear you say that?

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 5>Honesty is my hallmark and accuracy. But yeah, so we

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 5>went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for his birthday meal. Yeah,

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:54.120
<v Speaker 5>I gotta admit I would be somewhat disappointed. I was.

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought we were gonna go eat a you know,

0:30:57.440 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>a decent meal somewhere. That's kind of excited about it.

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 5>But I was talking in meatballs at home. That was

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 5>my choice, as you recalled just a few weeks ago.

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't. I can't cook really, so that's that's

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 2>what limits that I don't.

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 4>That's it's an unfortunate and I hate the fact that

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 4>that's true, that I don't have some meal that I

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 4>craft for them.

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 2>That is one of their favorite meals. But I don't,

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and I don't suppose at this point I'm going to

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 2>change that was I gonna say?

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 5>I soid, Oh, well you can, I mean doing pasta

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 5>is not. Surely you can cook pasta, right, yeah, but

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 5>not in a way that's going to make it your

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 5>favorite meal. Probably a good sauce out of a jargon,

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 5>meatballs out of the whatever, a meat case, good meatballs

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 5>out of the meat case.

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Wherever you get meat falls.

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 4>We had some good pizza the other night, and I

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 4>was talking to my kids about pizza and how pizza

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 4>has stayed roughly the same price since I was his age.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 4>And that's why it's so crappy now, is that they

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 4>must have just decided that they couldn't go up with

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 4>inflation over the years, so they kept using And there's

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of chains that have done this. I mean,

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 4>this is documented using crappier and crappier ingredients over the

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 4>years to try to keep the prices sort of the same.

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 4>And you know a lot of pizza that I used

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 4>to love is now not edible. I mean various houses

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 4>of pizza, if you know what I would I'm saying, Yeah,

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 4>huts of pizza. I like my pizza to come in hunts.

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 4>I used to love their pizza.

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm assuming huts of pizza.

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Somehow they managed to have the same price now as

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 4>they did in nineteen ninety five.

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Some had to give rare. Oh wait, what that sausage?

0:32:48.080 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure I approve of this fireworks. There's even a

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:08.120
<v Speaker 2>fireworks display at the end.

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh Ja, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe who getting.

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Let's get a finals out from everybody on the crew

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 5>to wrap of the day, Michael Angelow, do you have

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 5>a final thought for us?

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 7>You know, this morning the elevators were broken and I

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 7>got really winded.

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>If I had to go up another floor or two,

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I would have just got on my cellphone and called

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 2>in sick. I think yeah from the stairway. Yeah, and

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:30.239
<v Speaker 2>slumped on down the stairs. He came up.

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 5>Katie Greener seemed to use woman is giggling. Do you

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 5>have a title thought, Katie?

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 8>I had every intention of following my diet this weekend,

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 8>but one of you guys last week mentioned a barbecue

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 8>chicken pizza, so I went for it this weekend.

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, so good? Ooh little onion on there barbecue

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 2>so jack.

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Final thought for us, Yeah, funny you should mention diet Michael.

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I need to use the stairs every single day. I

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 4>should walk to work actually carrying a heavy weight. The

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 4>scale was not kind to me this morning. The scale

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 4>really showed me some tough love this morning. Technically, you

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 4>are walking door carrying a heavyweight. It's your ass.

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 5>My final thought, and I can't be the only one

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:16.920
<v Speaker 5>between the time change and allergies. I can't keep my

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 5>eyes open. I just want to curl up and take

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 5>a nap. I am off man. Allergies are bad right now,

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 5>and it's just your eyes feel like they feel when

0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 5>you're super tired. So the combination of the thing. So oh,

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 5>I just want to take a nap.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty wrapick up. Another grueling four hour workday.

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Too much news every day somebody needs to do something

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 2>about that.

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 4>But whatever happens in the next twenty hours, we'll have

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 4>that for you on the next Armstrong and Getdy show.

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and get I think it takes two to Tango Heaven.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I think your Star spangledball show dead.

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 5>Dead.

0:35:10.239 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's go with it.

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:15.240
<v Speaker 5>And according to JD power drivers are underwhelmed by gesture controls,

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 5>where one can say, increase the volume by rotating an

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:19.839
<v Speaker 5>imaginary knob in the air.

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>You're an imaginary knob. Wow. Armstrong and Getty
