1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, now,

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: and I know a lot of there's a lot of freakouts,

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: you know, and of course I would never support taking

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: it by force, but I do think it's I do

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: acquiring it, and you know, whether they're just buying it

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: out right, I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers, it's like, well,

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: well remember the Louisiana purchase. I think Alaska was pretty

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: pretty a great deal too, fifty million dollars, I think

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: it was. It was recorded, it was, it was referred

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: to as Seward's folly, and now that was Alaska. Now,

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, open and having all kinds

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: of conversations as well.

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: I wish we could get away from the anything Trump

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 4: proposes as automatically dumb and ridiculous thing.

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: When I was in Washington, d C. We went to

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: the Air and Space.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: Museum, which is, you know, the number one attraction for

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: especially for kids, but the amount of Space Force stuff

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: they had in the museum shop. And remember how roundly

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: that was mocked when Trump decided to put together Space Force,

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: another branch of the military. Since we've got you know,

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: the ground, the air, the water, and now space hilarious,

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: What a dummy. I mean, I'll be.

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 5: Practically unanimous the mockery in the mainstream media office. It

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: was clearly a good idea, probably overdue, right right, you know,

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 5: I want to get into that topic in the Greenland

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: thing very briefly. But I love this And as I

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: said earlier in the show, I've never seen a change.

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: Well I'll put it this way in my perception of

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 5: a politician like John Fetterman before and I don't know

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 5: if it's the effects of thero or maybe having an

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: instant that was incredibly scary, and maybe he changed consciously,

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: I don't know, but.

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: He strikes me as a very, very different dude.

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: He is now the most utterly reasonable, moderate Democrat in

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: a lot of ways that I've seen on Capitol Hill

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 5: in a long time.

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Well, remember the backstory on him that we were constantly

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: mocking was he's a socialist who grow up on his

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 4: mom's couch and never had add a job in his life, right,

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: and ran against doctor Oz is how he ended up

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 4: a senator. But he's got entirely mainstream positions on almost everything.

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he was reacting to the reaction to the

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 5: press conference, the Trump press conference yesterday, in which Trump

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: said a bunch of different things that are are a

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 5: little surprising, but if you run them through the Trump

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: filter and you understand how he communicates, they're not that

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 5: crazy at all. But he was reacting to the reaction

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: on his side of the aisle. It's clip fifty seven, Michael,

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 5: when he said this.

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: I don't think it's not helpful to freak out. But

56
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: some things might work out, some may not. But that's

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: part of ongoing dialogue. But he hasn't even take office

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: in two weeks, and you know, we really need to

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: pace ourselves. If we're going to freak out over every

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: last tweet or every last conversation or press conference.

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: God is jump the hell down.

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: Is Senator Fetterman, the hoodie wearing stroke victim, going to

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: be the one that drags America back to the way

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: we used to be, where we didn't freak out about everything,

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: and everything wasn't a tweet blast reaction to all stories.

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 5: I doubt it, I love it thought yeah. Anyway, So

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: during our one of the show, and if you missed it,

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: grab it you gotta subscribe to our podcast Armstrong and

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 5: Getty on the Band. But our one of the show

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: we went into a fair amount of depth about the

71
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: Greenland thing and we're not going to invade it. You know, Trump,

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: he's imprecise. He says provocative things, he lays out like

73
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: a crazy opening offer and then gets down to business.

74
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: Waste until they surrender.

75
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: Wow right, no quarter, wow wow enslave their men, whatever

76
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: you gotta do.

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: But as we talked about during our one of the show,

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 5: Greenland we'll soon have difficult to describe how huge a

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 5: geopolitical significance it and the waterways around it are going

80
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: to have, particularly if the warming continues. The global trade

81
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 5: a huge percentaers of global trade will be going around

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: Greenland through the Arctic passages which are going to be

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: opening up. And Greenland is a protectorate, a territory of Denmark,

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: of all places, and under the umbrella of the EU.

85
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: And if it's up to Denmark to ensure the free

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 5: passage of shipping and trade around the world. I'm a

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 5: little worried about the free shipping and trade around the world.

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: And so Trump's point, and as usual, you've got to

89
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: like to dig into it to figure out what the

90
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 5: hell he's talking about, which is one of his greatest failings. Yes, strengths,

91
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: he has failings like all us. But if the US

92
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: is going to be the country that ensures the continuation

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: of free trade and not trade under the mob like

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: stranglehold of Shijin Ping and Vladimir Putin and whoever succeeds

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: them in the Arctic, if we're in charge of that,

96
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: we need a serious say, and we need a serious

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: presence in Greenland, and I think that'll happen. We already

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 5: have a pretty fair presence. They're a space force port

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 5: and a longtime Air Force base that I think is

100
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 5: mostly space force now.

101
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: But Greenland's incredibly important.

102
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess. I think you have these facts handy,

103
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: you're Greenland facts. The population of Greenland is I'm gonna

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: go with six million, six million in people. Jack, is

105
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: that your guess?

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: That is my guess.

107
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: What is the parture of official guess? And the guess that

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: you have is that.

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Scrolling scroll past imports and exports, and.

110
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: Oh there is demographics, U, Katie, Katie, you you're close.

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: Fifty seven thousand is the total population. Oh yes, it's

112
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: a barren wasteland.

113
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Fifty seven thousand.

114
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, like it makes it makes the Yukon look like

115
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 5: Miami Beach in terms of climate. Wow, Greenld is fifty

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 5: seven thousand people.

117
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's way way, way, way way north. Well, then

118
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: who cares what? It will be much more hospitable. Who

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: cares what?

120
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 5: They because we don't conduct wars a conquest in the

121
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 5: twenty first century, vladimirror fifty seven thousand people.

122
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: We could take it in a day. That's funny.

123
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 4: That should be part of the story anytime they're talking

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 4: about this. I was listening to and they had some

125
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: politician on there who was in favor of Greenland coming

126
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: under the American umbrella. And he's mostly worried about China

127
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: and how China wants greenland and you know, both the

128
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: waterways and their natural resources. Okay, you're a politician representing

129
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how many people, fifty seven thousand.

130
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: All right, Yeah, I'm a flaming geek for this sort

131
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: of thing. But the more I learn about Greenland, the

132
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: more interesting it becomes, partly just geographically. I remember being

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: astounded at one point somebody mentioned to me that they're

134
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: flying to Japan and that the flight goes over the pole,

135
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: and I thought, how can that be the shortest way?

136
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: Because I just picture Earth is you go around like horizontally,

137
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: you know, the way a map is oriented.

138
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: I realized we're a ball floating in space. There's no

139
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: such thing as horizontal.

140
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: But you know, you go around the equator. There's no

141
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: going around the planet top to bottom. It's east west

142
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: top to bottom, like Greenland to Russia is nothing, and

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: to China's not that much either. So the Arctic is

144
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 5: going to be one of the great geopolitical areas of

145
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 5: struggle in the next fifty years.

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: There's no denying it. Katie greenwayhs in with more Greenland knowledge.

147
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 6: It's not knowledge, but I just think we should make

148
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 6: an executive order given the population, just a national guard,

149
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 6: couple of lifeguards.

150
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: Maybe I feel like tank.

151
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: Certainly, one tank, you unload, one tank, you roll into

152
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 4: the capitol, you put up our flag and we're done.

153
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, you probably don't even need that.

154
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: Actually, like Katie said, a couple of lifeguards might do

155
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: the trick.

156
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: I mean, if you, if you have a reasonably loud voice,

157
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: you could probably assemble all of Greenland together in one

158
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: stadium and shout to them and explain what's going on,

159
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 5: and probably have a show of hands vote and be like,

160
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 5: all right, well, thanks, thanks for coming along. Well we'll

161
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: have some flags brought in later. But it just as

162
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: you were, It's fine. The US is pretty benign when

163
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: it comes to being you know, under our umbrella.

164
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Elon could cut him eat a check for like ten

165
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: thousand dollars and they'd all get on board.

166
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: Probably one wouldn't cost that much.

167
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 6: And Don Junior is there, so it's like we're already

168
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 6: half done. You know, we already got one guy over.

169
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Don Junior going there yesterday and claiming I just

170
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to see Greenland.

171
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, I mean, that's that silly.

172
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 4: Speaking of foreign policy before we take a break, and

173
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: this is kind of like what Joe was bringing up

174
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: yesterday with the economy. There's a possibility that there are

175
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: some there's some bad news out there economically for Trump.

176
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: That's just part of the business cycle that's got you know,

177
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 4: it's not anything he can do anything about or will

178
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 4: be to blame for. But it's just kind of the

179
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 4: way things go up and down with hiring and firing

180
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: and mortgages and all.

181
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: That sort of stuff.

182
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: Also with foreign policy, he's got a bunch of stuff

183
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: that's landing on his desk. For instance, the fact that

184
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: Iran is closer to a bamb than they have ever been.

185
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: They currently, according to our own estimates, need about one

186
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: to two weeks to get enough enriched uranium to be

187
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: able to make a bomb, so their breakout time is

188
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: faster than it's ever been. And Israel is sworn that

189
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: one they don't want to let that happen, and two

190
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: they can't do it on their own. They need to

191
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 4: help with the United States. Trump is hinted that he's

192
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: willing to help on that project. If I had to

193
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: bet money on a big foreign policy story of the

194
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: first portion of Trump's first year, it's going to be

195
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 4: Israel and US are going to take out Iran's nuclear

196
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: program or something very much like that.

197
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, something just tangential to that.

198
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent right, Yeah, Iran is a frightened,

199
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 5: cornered beast right now. And this is not some sort

200
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 5: of argument in favor of Obama's phony Iran nuclear deal.

201
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 5: It's just a statement of fact. They are a cornered beast,

202
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 5: and that's what a beast is most dangerous. So I'm

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 5: sure our foreign policy wonks have their squarely on them.

204
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: If not, bb NET and Yaho certainly does.

205
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: So.

206
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: Gallup came out with what people think of the Biden

207
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: presidency where it ranks with other presidents not good and don't.

208
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna get better over time. I

209
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: think this is probably his eye mark would be my guess.

210
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: There's this certain emoji that I think is appropriate for

211
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: describing the Biden administration's job in the White House.

212
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 4: Man the press can claim Nancy Pelosi can ain't the

213
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: smiley one. Nancy can say he ought to be on

214
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore, but that ain't the way people feel about it.

215
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: Among other things, we've got to talk about on the way.

216
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: We're probably not going to annex Canada, but this guy

217
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: is probably going to be running running the place next.

218
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 2: That would be the clip we discussed. Hold on just

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: a second, my computer here, oh damn computer.

220
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 7: On the on the topic, I mean, in terms of

221
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 7: your sort of strategy currently. You're obviously taking the populist pathway.

222
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

223
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 7: Well, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language. Quite

224
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 7: frequently a lot of people would would say that you're

225
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 7: simply taking a page out of the Donald.

226
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Trump uh like which people would say that.

227
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 7: Well, I'm served a great many Canadians, but like who,

228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 7: I don't know who, but.

229
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: Whether the one who asked the questions? So yeah, you

230
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: much know somebody.

231
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 7: Okay, taking the page of Donald Trump's book.

232
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: But what you think about? What page? What page? Can

233
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: you get a page?

234
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 7: Give me the page you can in terms of in

235
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 7: terms of turning things quite dramatically, in terms of I'm

236
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 7: not sure, I don't know, I don't know what you're.

237
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: Quiting that first of all, that's absolutely hilarious. Perfect and

238
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: he he might be the prime minister.

239
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pierre Pouliev, he's the leader of the biggest opposition party.

240
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: Really interesting guy.

241
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 5: He really came to promt It's when the like all

242
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: of Canadia, Canada's political establishment blasted the Freedom convoys. Those

243
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: truckers were protesting the COVID nineteen mandates, among other things,

244
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: and the vaccine requirements to be a trucker out on

245
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 5: the road alone. But Pauliev said, no, these guys are right,

246
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 5: and so as Canada. Tires of the empty promises and

247
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 5: the progressive rot of woke Elvis and he's just resigned.

248
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Paoliev is good. There's a good chance he will be

249
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: the next prime minister. I don't understand.

250
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 5: It's really interesting adopted son of a couple of school teachers.

251
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 5: Intense workout regimen that involves flipping a five hundred pound

252
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: tractor tire in a field and sprinting up hill while

253
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 5: dragging a seventy five pound weight sled.

254
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: How old is he he's forty five? Wow?

255
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Canada, they don't understand that somebody needs to

256
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 5: be at least eighty before they're in charge, right, silly Canadians.

257
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 4: So the La County Sheriff and the fire department, they're

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: doing their first big update since the fire happened. They're

259
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: now saying there have been two deaths. There are thousands

260
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: of structures that have been completely destroyed.

261
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: Thousands. Yeah.

262
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

263
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: That is gonna shake out in an interesting way, especially

264
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: the homes and businesses that didn't have any insurance for

265
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: fire that got dropped in the last couple of weeks,

266
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: which we found about out about earlier from a friend

267
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: who had to abandon his home which may have also

268
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: burned down.

269
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: And as today is dry and very windy again today

270
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: could be a nightmare. So certainly hoping and praying for

271
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 5: the good people of that part of the world. Back

272
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 5: to Canada, briefly, fifty five percent of Canadians hold an

273
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: unfavorable view of Pollia fifty five percent. That compares to

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: seventy four percent negative for Trudeau and his party. So

275
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: you think our politicians are unpopular, woof, But this guy's

276
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: rejected a lot of the woke crap that we've been

277
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: railing against. I've got a great example for you next

278
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: segment if we can squeeze it in the percentage of

279
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: kids in America who are going to government schools where

280
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: they are teaching radical gender theory. It's horrifying. Stay tuned

281
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: to be horrified in Canada, No in the US.

282
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: In the United States, Okay, yeah, I don't understand why

283
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: more politicians doing to answer questions like that, or sports

284
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: stars or anybody, because you're regularly attacked with like generality,

285
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: some people say, your philosophy, what people what philosophy?

286
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: What aspect of my philosophy.

287
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: Your critics suggest that they're wrong, or just say, what

288
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 4: is your specific thing?

289
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: Tell me what you're trying to.

290
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: Don't just hint at something negative and expect me to

291
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 4: respond to it. What specific thing are you unhappy about

292
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: that you want me to explain. I don't know why

293
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: that doesn't that more often. I think it would get

294
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: you out of a lot of jams.

295
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.

296
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: I would agree there the tendency of human beings to

297
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: go along with what's expected of them, even if it's

298
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: completely unfair. You know, that's the way we get along

299
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: as a species or a social beast. But it goes

300
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 5: way too far, particularly when the other side, and I've

301
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: got a good example of this coming up as well,

302
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: particularly when the other side thinks, you know what, we're

303
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: gonna check the rules. We're not going to do the

304
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: things that are you know, the social lubricants that help

305
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: people get along. We're just gonna be mean as hell

306
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 5: and make people dance to our tune.

307
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna remember that in my own life. Just a

308
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: critics don't like your tone on this? Which critics? What

309
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 4: did they say?

310
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: My tone on what? What did I say? Specifically?

311
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: That you have a problem with, and then I'll respond

312
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: to that as opposed to just a general something well right, or.

313
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 5: Say, I chose my tone intentionally and I stand by it.

314
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: What specifically do you have against it? What's the problem?

315
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: That was good?

316
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: An he did it while eating an apple, which makes

317
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: it better, which which is a healthy snack.

318
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 5: Typical of a guy who hurls five hundred pound tractor tires.

319
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: About right they fit?

320
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 4: How can you lift a flip over a five hundred

321
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 4: pound tractor tire?

322
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: I can't wow.

323
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: I want to get to those gallop ratings on how

324
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: people feel about Joe Biden. At this point, it's really

325
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 4: quite a more people agreed with you than you thought.

326
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty's listening to the press conference that they're

327
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: doing right now about the fires in the LA area,

328
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: and I got a big complaint about that sort of

329
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: thing that has bothered me my entire media career.

330
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: That might be kind of controversial. I'll get to that later.

331
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 4: Oh no, not controversy. Were iman madmen might make me

332
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 4: look like a jerk, but that sorry, oh.

333
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 5: Boy, not again. So I'd meant to mention in discussing

334
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 5: young mister Pouliev in Canada who maybe the next prime minister.

335
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 5: He told Jordan Peterson that his polling success comes down

336
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 5: to voters rejecting quote horrendous utopian wokeism and the deteriorating economy.

337
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 5: He could have been talking about the US, and so

338
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons I like the guy. And

339
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 5: there's actually been some good news on the fighting neo Marxism,

340
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: because that's what all the wokeism is. It mascarades as

341
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: moral or racial or whatever justice seeking.

342
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 2: It's not.

343
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: It's just a takeover. But Robbie Starbuck had another big victory.

344
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 5: McDonald's has jumped far back from their crazy ass DEI goals,

345
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 5: joining you know, wal Martin, John Teere and Tractress Plan

346
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of others that have backed off of

347
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 5: those post George Floyd trips down the crazy Highway.

348
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: Is Nike on that list? Did they retreat? I don't

349
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: think so.

350
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: No. I remember Riley Gaines in her organization made that

351
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: brilliant attitude a little girl. I'm sorry that brilliant I'm

352
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 5: trying to read and talk at the same time that

353
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 5: brilliant advertising directed at Nike about protecting women's spaces and

354
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 5: women's sports.

355
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I super into the variety of hot nikes and

356
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 4: stuff like that, and I thought.

357
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: Do I mind?

358
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 4: Do I want to support this company? I don't remember

359
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: where they are. I know I hated him at one point.

360
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, So anyway, the reason I bring all of that

361
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: up is just to remind everybody, as I often say,

362
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 5: this is not the beginning of the end. This is

363
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 5: the end of the beginning. The troops have just gotten

364
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 5: on the troop ships. GM is just converted from making

365
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 5: cars to tanks. The fight has just begun dismantling all

366
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: this stuff. And to that end, came across a great

367
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 5: piece by Daniel buck in The National Review, who points

368
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 5: out more than a third of American students, more than

369
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 5: a third, are being taught modern radical transgender theory. And

370
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 5: he talks about it seems every day. Another school unferls

371
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: a young Transjoy banner on school grounds, Another library shelves

372
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: of book delineating the tenets of gender theory. Another district

373
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: hosts of drag event for children. But just how persuasive,

374
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 5: her pervasive? Rather is this stuff in schools? And he

375
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 5: poses the question our conservative media merely nut picking finding

376
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: the most egregious example and putting them up on libs

377
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 5: of TikTok, for instance, because he said there will always

378
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: be some number of kooks, cranks, and other screwballs holding

379
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: conspiratorial views and exhibiting outlandish behavior.

380
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: So are these stories representative or outliers?

381
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 4: That's very, very true, and I wonder that often right

382
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: to answer that question.

383
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: In a recently released report for the Heritage Foundation, my

384
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 5: co author Jay Richards and I scan the health education

385
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 5: framework of every state in America to see how many

386
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 5: compel educators to teach the central tenet of gender theory

387
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: that gender is socially constructed. And I don't even like

388
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 5: the term gender. It's an intentionally confusing term. They mean

389
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 5: sex but anyway. Do they encourage a distinction between sex

390
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: or sex organs and gender, the latter of which is

391
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: undefined or treated as a social construct. Do they introduce

392
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: concepts of gender identity or sex assigned at birth to children?

393
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: Now?

394
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 5: Do they downplay or omit references to biological sex or

395
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 5: sex differences? Do they employed terms such as cisgender, transgender,

396
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 5: and non binary?

397
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: These are simple questions.

398
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 5: Affirmative answers are evidence that a curriculum pushes gender ideology

399
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: on teachers and kids. And in all, we found that

400
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: the health frameworks of sixteen states contain the pseudo scientific

401
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 5: belief that biological sex is entirely divorced from gender. And

402
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 5: because a number of these are high population states like

403
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 5: California and New York, that amount it amounts to roughly

404
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: thirty seven percent of American students.

405
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: Wow, over a third get that crap.

406
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: You don't have to know how to read and write

407
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 5: or anything in Connecticut, but they, for example, require that

408
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 5: students be able to quote, define, and explain differences between

409
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: cis gender, transgender, gender, non binary gender.

410
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: Oh my god, gender identity. Pull your kid out of

411
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 4: that school if that's what they're learning. God, that is horrible,

412
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: freaking unbelievable that you're teaching a little kid that a

413
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: little kid's got to memorize that s. I want to

414
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: say the real word because that's what it is. Oh God,

415
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: that makes me mad.

416
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: In California, students are taught that children younger than kindergarten

417
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: can identify as transgender. In fact, it's required they be

418
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: taught that.

419
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: That is so crazy.

420
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: And you know what, I would hate this if you

421
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: were already succeeding in math and reading and the other

422
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: important things.

423
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't point.

424
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 4: You've dumped down what qualifies as proficient little by little

425
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: over the years to where it's just embarrassing low, embarrassingly

426
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 4: low to even.

427
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: Pass, and the numbers are still in the toilet.

428
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: How about you worry about that before you're teaching kindergarteners

429
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: making them memorize the genderbread man.

430
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to talk about scores in the toilet.

431
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: In the Great State of Illinois, students are expected to

432
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 5: discuss the role and use of hormone blockers.

433
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: That is so crazy.

434
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 5: The Governor of Illinois, JB. Prisker, is a monster. He's

435
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: a neo Marxist gender bending monster.

436
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: Can you balance a checkbook on what?

437
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: Now? I can explain you what hormone blockers are. I

438
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: learned it in social studies.

439
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 5: It's worth noting in points how many of these frameworks

440
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 5: include explicit topics in addition to gender theory, abortion, lubrication,

441
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 5: many others not fit to print, and thirty seven percent

442
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 5: probably crazy people are crazy?

443
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: That is correct. You're so crazy.

444
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: Why is there avowed neo Marxists who've influenced soft heads

445
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 5: into thinking this is morally correct?

446
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 4: Why is it grade schooler learning about sexual lubricants.

447
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 5: Even in red states like Alabama, over half of schools

448
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 5: teach about gender identity, the idea that a person could

449
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 5: be a gender that doesn't match their biological sex.

450
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: God, and all this happened like an hour ago. What

451
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: the hell?

452
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely insane and troubling. But again, we're

453
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: at the end of the beginning. Friends. It's you almost

454
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 5: if you step back and look at it as a

455
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 5: political scientist or a student of ideas, you have to

456
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: be in awe of their effectiveness at operating undercover first,

457
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: then cloaking themselves in what seemed to be moral arguments

458
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 5: or arguments against bigotry that convinced a lot of again

459
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 5: I call them soft heads well meeting people that don't

460
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 5: think critically that all of this crazy ass mumbo jumbo

461
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: that nobody believed ten years ago is now not only true,

462
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 5: but it's so true that anybody who dare say, hey,

463
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: can we talk about this for a minute ought to

464
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 5: be run out of polite society, ought to be ruined,

465
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: ought to lose their career.

466
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: Anybody who just says, whoa, can we tap the brakes here?

467
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 5: If you still can't recognize a radical ideology and the

468
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: damage it's doing.

469
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: I pity you and get out of the way. The

470
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: rest of us are going to fight it.

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: So that fire in the LA Area fires, it's a

472
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: whole bunch of different fires, is horrific. They just had

473
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: a big press conference you can hate with a couple

474
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: of headlines on that. Fox is still saying they're expecting

475
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: one hundred mile an hour gusts today. That does not

476
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: help fighting the fires, all of which are zero.

477
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: Percent contained at this point. We got a lot more

478
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: on the way in a variety of topics.

479
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 8: Stay here, what you see the remnants of flames. Those

480
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 8: were all homes and as you drive down pch you

481
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 8: couldn't receive the water because they are home after home

482
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 8: after home. Now they are all gone, and he's going

483
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 8: to pan all the way over to those lights far

484
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 8: down there.

485
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Those were all homes. You guys, they're gone. Yeah, it's

486
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: quite amazing.

487
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 4: I had some people texting me yesterday this is the

488
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: fires in the LA Area. A couple of different spots

489
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 4: quite far apart where they've got these fires going on,

490
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 4: including people we personally know who may have had their

491
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: homes burned down. Some people are saying, man, have you

492
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: seen the videos? Have you seen the pictures? And I thought, yeah,

493
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: I mean I've seen fires and everything before, or so

494
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: I can imagine it. Then I actually saw some of

495
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: the stuff on Twitter. Holy crap. I think it was

496
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: the wind that made it so exceptionally crazy. The actor

497
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: James Woods. I was following his Twitter thread as his

498
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: porch was on fire and he's putting out pictures of

499
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 4: it as he's loading up and taking off and getting

500
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: out of there, and his neighbor's house burnt down, and

501
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 4: he thinks maybe his house burnt down.

502
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: He hasn't been able to go back.

503
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: Thousands of buildings have burnt down, they've already announced, and

504
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: so far only two deaths that they've announced. And is

505
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 4: it still all zero percent, every single fire zero percent contained?

506
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 5: At this powling winds all day today again? Oh ye

507
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: a nightmare.

508
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

509
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: And last night people I know that were sitting in

510
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: the dark. Electricity was completely off, and you know how

511
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: in the electricity goes out in the neighborhood. It's so

512
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: dang dark you can't see anything. And they had to

513
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: get in the cars and leave and try to find

514
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: their way to a road that didn't have too much

515
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 4: traffic people getting out of the cars and run into

516
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 4: the water, like happened in Hawaii a while back.

517
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh, just horrible, horrible, horrible, Mother Nature, Joe, Mother Nature.

518
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: I stopped following Mark Halprin's morning podcast after the election.

519
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 4: I was on it every single day when he had

520
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: have the very latest news on Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump's campaign,

521
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: and everything like that, because he's one of my favorite

522
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: political journalists and he's got some of the best sources

523
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: in all of journalism. But I was looking at some

524
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 4: of the quotes that he tweeted out today from his

525
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: podcast this morning.

526
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: I think you might find this interesting. Here's one thing

527
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: he said.

528
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 4: I have zero doubt that there was more coordination on

529
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: Lawfair than has been reported. I have zero doubt of that,

530
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: and I think it could be extensively more helper and

531
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: reported today. I think that we're going to see a

532
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: congressional investigation about that. We might see a Justice Department

533
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: investigation about the coordination. Maybe we'll see somebody in media

534
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: come forward. I don't think Lawfair is going to age well.

535
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, we were saying at the time,

536
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: you're telling me all six of these cases magically showed

537
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 4: up in an election year designed to have him in

538
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: a courtroom while he's running for president. I'll be damned, right,

539
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 4: some of the alleged crimes so fresh, they were sushi grade,

540
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: and some of them years and years ago, right, and.

541
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: They all came down to.

542
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: Election year, and obviously coordinating them. The timing of those

543
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: would be completely uncool from a justice standpoint.

544
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: So sure also on that sort of thing.

545
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: Mark Alprin said this morning, I never predict the outcome

546
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: of judges, justices or jurors, but I'm.

547
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: Making an exception today.

548
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 4: I think the Supreme Court is going to get involved

549
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: in the and block the sentencing in the Stormy Daniel's case.

550
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: I think the Supreme Court will stop this. I don't

551
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 4: even remember where that one is.

552
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: What did he get?

553
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: What did he he owes her money? Or I happen

554
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: to just be reading about this. This is Judge Juan

555
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: Murshaan who had months and months and months to decide

556
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 5: on scheduling the sentencing and when and whether to do it,

557
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: and announced with three weeks before the inauguration, Yeah we're

558
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 5: going to do it in two weeks, and how that

559
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: was unprecedented and crazy and unfair. And it was clearly

560
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 5: so that Trump would be branded a felon as he

561
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 5: took the Oval office and not be able to appeal

562
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: it in time.

563
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: Right, So that gets to the hole there's some coordination

564
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 4: going on here.

565
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: Oh and by the way, that was written in Slate

566
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: for the love of partisanship, the far left state. Slate

567
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 5: was like, this is not cool, this is not good judging.

568
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: Well, right, and as we have said a million times,

569
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: but I don't understand how more people don't get it.

570
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: If I'm a lefty, you let this go. You think

571
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: the right's not going to do it when they have

572
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: the power to do it to your guy? Is this

573
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: the way we want it to be going forward?

574
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: Of course not.

575
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: Boy, it's hard to get those arguments to stick. People

576
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 5: are so feverish for power and they're so cynical in

577
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: the political establishment. I have more on that to come,

578
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 5: but I don't want to get in the way if

579
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: you have more.

580
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: There's one more thing that's not related to that. From the.

581
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: Mark Alpern podcast this morning, and I just thought this

582
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: was interesting. They're talking about a variety of things, and

583
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 4: Trump discussing Greenland and it's benefits and everything like that.

584
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: And Shawn Spicer, who if you remember, was Donald Trump's

585
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 4: first White House press person, said, I have always been

586
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: shocked by the level of detail that Donald.

587
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: Trump can command.

588
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: Said Shawn Spicer, his level of recall is, honest to god,

589
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: like no one I've ever seen before. Find that interesting, Oh,

590
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: specifically saying about things he cares about. So if he

591
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: doesn't care about something, he hasn't looked into it. He

592
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: has no interest, as we've all seen, and he knows

593
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: very little about it and is willing to spot off

594
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: of it. But if it's some issue he's interested, Like

595
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: I think, for whatever reasons, he's decided Greenland is important.

596
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: Apparently he has tons of knowledge about it and looks

597
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: into it and can recall it. It's funny you should

598
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: bring that up.

599
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: I was watching some of the news conferences today and

600
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: it struck me that because Trump's speaking style makes me insane,

601
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: how he doesn't finish sentences and he leaves things on said,

602
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: and he gives his opponents, you know, clubs to club

603
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 5: him with.

604
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: But it occurred to me.

605
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 5: I can't remember what he was talking about, but I

606
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: could see in his eyes, this is a guy realizing

607
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: that there are so many tangents to what he's saying.

608
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: If he starts down, that it's going to turn into

609
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 5: just a cul de sac. And so he just kind

610
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: of left off because I've often thought, and I'm not

611
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: proud of this, that he just he had nothing else

612
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 5: to say. But I could tell at that moment he

613
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 5: had so much to say that he was just kind

614
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: of leaving it alone. And his speaking style is still frustrating.

615
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 5: But I think it's it's not what I thought it

616
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 5: was necessarily.

617
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: So I teach this a couple of times. I should

618
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: mention it.

619
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: Gallopaza with a poll of where Joe Biden ranks as

620
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: presidents and people's minds currently, and these numbers change over time.

621
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: Some people go up, some people go down. I feel

622
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 4: like Biden's going to go down over time. If anything,

623
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: I could be wrong, but.

624
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: I agree completely. He doesn't start from a good spot.

625
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: Only six percent of adults responded that history would remember

626
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: Biden as an outstanding president. Thirteen percent thought he'd be

627
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: regarded as above average. So above average and outstanding adds

628
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 4: up to nineteen percent. And we'll get to some of

629
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: the other presidents to see how it compares it In

630
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 4: a little bit, but that's very low. Another twenty six

631
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: percent said Biden will go down. His history is just average.

632
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: So Biden's minus thirty five percentage point net positive rating

633
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: ranks near the bottom of the list.

634
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: I'd say near the bottom. And this is all modern

635
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: presidents where they've done gallop polling. So it goes back

636
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: to Kennedy.

637
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: Only Nixon is lower than Biden, at minus forty two

638
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 4: on the positive versus negative.

639
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: Biden's at minus thirty five.

640
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: So he's down in Nixon territory to start with, and

641
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 4: I think he's going to go down from there. By

642
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: the way, if you're wondering where some of the other

643
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: presidents work, perhaps the guy you voted for, maybe Donald

644
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: Trump in his first term seventeen percent outstanding, twenty three

645
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: percent above average, so that adds up to obviously forty percent,

646
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: and he's got sixteen percent average, so he's in way

647
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: better shape than Joe Biden after his first term.

648
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: This idea is a bunch of malarkey.

649
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: Sometimes negative feelings fail as you were hinting at, or

650
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: I'm sorry they fall as you were hinting at earlier.

651
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be that So for Biden. He

652
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 5: was an awful president, awful on virtually every single topic.

653
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: And so much more information is going to come out

654
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: about how bad his brain was and become more clear

655
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: how awful it was for him to make the decision

656
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 4: to run again. And yeah, yeah, so like Trump has

657
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: got pretty high numbers. Those are people who like Trump,

658
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: voted for Trump. Trump has the highest negative or tide

659
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 4: for the highest negative number, with Biden at thirty one

660
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: who think he was a poor president. That's Democrats. The

661
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: difference with Biden is those Democrats, the few that said

662
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 4: he was positive. When they find out how bad a

663
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 4: shape he was and he ran anyway, they're going to

664
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 4: turn on him.

665
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: So that's his numbers are going to be expect so

666
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: they should. Yeah.

667
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 4: By the way, your two highest ranking presidents, Number one,

668
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: John F. Kennedy, he was only president for thirty eight months.

669
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: I think John F. Kennedy twenty two percent outstanding, forty

670
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: eight percent above average.

671
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: That's a huge number. For whatever reason.

672
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 5: Some of it to me, it's like looking back on

673
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 5: the career of Nirvana Kurt Kobain.

674
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he died young. I remember talking to my

675
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: parents about this.

676
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 5: The worshipfulness of JFK in school and they said, you know,

677
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: he didn't finish his term. And there are some pretty

678
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 5: serious birds coming home.

679
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: To roost Reagan and Obama with very high numbers. Also

680
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: a couple of two term presidents in modern history.

681
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: Biden and Trump. Down toward the bottom.

682
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 5: Our four of the show you might find interesting. And

683
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 5: if you don't get hour four live, grab it vive podcast,

684
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: you ought to subscribe to Armstrong and Getting on demand.

685
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of cynicism.

686
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 5: I'm a skeptic and a realist, but there's one area

687
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 5: of life that you ought to be bitterly cynical about.

688
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: We will discuss hope you can stay around Armstrong and

689
