WEBVTT - Stay Tuned To Be Horrified!

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, now,

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and I know a lot of there's a lot of freakouts,

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, and of course I would never support taking

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>it by force, but I do think it's I do

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 3>think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 3>acquiring it, and you know, whether they're just buying it

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 3>out right, I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers, it's like, well,

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>well remember the Louisiana purchase. I think Alaska was pretty

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>pretty a great deal too, fifty million dollars, I think

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 3>it was. It was recorded, it was, it was referred

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 3>to as Seward's folly, and now that was Alaska. Now,

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>So I mean, you know, open and having all kinds

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 3>of conversations as well.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I wish we could get away from the anything Trump

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 4>proposes as automatically dumb and ridiculous thing.

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>When I was in Washington, d C. We went to

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the Air and Space.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 4>Museum, which is, you know, the number one attraction for

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 4>especially for kids, but the amount of Space Force stuff

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 4>they had in the museum shop. And remember how roundly

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 4>that was mocked when Trump decided to put together Space Force,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 4>another branch of the military. Since we've got you know,

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>the ground, the air, the water, and now space hilarious,

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 4>What a dummy. I mean, I'll be.

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 5>Practically unanimous the mockery in the mainstream media office. It

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 5>was clearly a good idea, probably overdue, right right, you know,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 5>I want to get into that topic in the Greenland

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 5>thing very briefly. But I love this And as I

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 5>said earlier in the show, I've never seen a change.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 5>Well I'll put it this way in my perception of

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 5>a politician like John Fetterman before and I don't know

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 5>if it's the effects of thero or maybe having an

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 5>instant that was incredibly scary, and maybe he changed consciously,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>He strikes me as a very, very different dude.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 5>He is now the most utterly reasonable, moderate Democrat in

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot of ways that I've seen on Capitol Hill

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 5>in a long time.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, remember the backstory on him that we were constantly

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 4>mocking was he's a socialist who grow up on his

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 4>mom's couch and never had add a job in his life, right,

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 4>and ran against doctor Oz is how he ended up

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 4>a senator. But he's got entirely mainstream positions on almost everything.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So he was reacting to the reaction to the

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 5>press conference, the Trump press conference yesterday, in which Trump

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 5>said a bunch of different things that are are a

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 5>little surprising, but if you run them through the Trump

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 5>filter and you understand how he communicates, they're not that

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 5>crazy at all. But he was reacting to the reaction

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 5>on his side of the aisle. It's clip fifty seven, Michael,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 5>when he said this.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's not helpful to freak out. But

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 3>some things might work out, some may not. But that's

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 3>part of ongoing dialogue. But he hasn't even take office

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 3>in two weeks, and you know, we really need to

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 3>pace ourselves. If we're going to freak out over every

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>last tweet or every last conversation or press conference.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 2>God is jump the hell down.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Is Senator Fetterman, the hoodie wearing stroke victim, going to

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 4>be the one that drags America back to the way

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 4>we used to be, where we didn't freak out about everything,

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 4>and everything wasn't a tweet blast reaction to all stories.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 5>I doubt it, I love it thought yeah. Anyway, So

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 5>during our one of the show, and if you missed it,

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 5>grab it you gotta subscribe to our podcast Armstrong and

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 5>Getty on the Band. But our one of the show

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 5>we went into a fair amount of depth about the

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Greenland thing and we're not going to invade it. You know, Trump,

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 5>he's imprecise. He says provocative things, he lays out like

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 5>a crazy opening offer and then gets down to business.

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Waste until they surrender.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Wow right, no quarter, wow wow enslave their men, whatever

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 4>you gotta do.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 5>But as we talked about during our one of the show,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 5>Greenland we'll soon have difficult to describe how huge a

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 5>geopolitical significance it and the waterways around it are going

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 5>to have, particularly if the warming continues. The global trade

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 5>a huge percentaers of global trade will be going around

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 5>Greenland through the Arctic passages which are going to be

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 5>opening up. And Greenland is a protectorate, a territory of Denmark,

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 5>of all places, and under the umbrella of the EU.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 5>And if it's up to Denmark to ensure the free

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 5>passage of shipping and trade around the world. I'm a

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 5>little worried about the free shipping and trade around the world.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 5>And so Trump's point, and as usual, you've got to

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 5>like to dig into it to figure out what the

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 5>hell he's talking about, which is one of his greatest failings. Yes, strengths,

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 5>he has failings like all us. But if the US

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 5>is going to be the country that ensures the continuation

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 5>of free trade and not trade under the mob like

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 5>stranglehold of Shijin Ping and Vladimir Putin and whoever succeeds

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 5>them in the Arctic, if we're in charge of that,

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 5>we need a serious say, and we need a serious

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 5>presence in Greenland, and I think that'll happen. We already

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 5>have a pretty fair presence. They're a space force port

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 5>and a longtime Air Force base that I think is

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 5>mostly space force now.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>But Greenland's incredibly important.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to guess. I think you have these facts handy,

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 4>you're Greenland facts. The population of Greenland is I'm gonna

0:05:54.279 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 4>go with six million, six million in people. Jack, is

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 4>that your guess?

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>That is my guess.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 5>What is the parture of official guess? And the guess that

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 5>you have is that.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Scrolling scroll past imports and exports, and.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh there is demographics, U, Katie, Katie, you you're close.

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 5>Fifty seven thousand is the total population. Oh yes, it's

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 5>a barren wasteland.

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Fifty seven thousand.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like it makes it makes the Yukon look like

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 5>Miami Beach in terms of climate. Wow, Greenld is fifty

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 5>seven thousand people.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's way way, way, way way north. Well, then

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>who cares what? It will be much more hospitable. Who

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>cares what?

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 5>They because we don't conduct wars a conquest in the

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty first century, vladimirror fifty seven thousand people.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 2>We could take it in a day. That's funny.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 4>That should be part of the story anytime they're talking

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 4>about this. I was listening to and they had some

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 4>politician on there who was in favor of Greenland coming

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 4>under the American umbrella. And he's mostly worried about China

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>and how China wants greenland and you know, both the

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 4>waterways and their natural resources. Okay, you're a politician representing

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how many people, fifty seven thousand.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 5>All right, Yeah, I'm a flaming geek for this sort

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 5>of thing. But the more I learn about Greenland, the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 5>more interesting it becomes, partly just geographically. I remember being

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 5>astounded at one point somebody mentioned to me that they're

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 5>flying to Japan and that the flight goes over the pole,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 5>and I thought, how can that be the shortest way?

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Because I just picture Earth is you go around like horizontally,

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, the way a map is oriented.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I realized we're a ball floating in space. There's no

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>such thing as horizontal.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 5>But you know, you go around the equator. There's no

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 5>going around the planet top to bottom. It's east west

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 5>top to bottom, like Greenland to Russia is nothing, and

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 5>to China's not that much either. So the Arctic is

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 5>going to be one of the great geopolitical areas of

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 5>struggle in the next fifty years.

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>There's no denying it. Katie greenwayhs in with more Greenland knowledge.

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 6>It's not knowledge, but I just think we should make

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 6>an executive order given the population, just a national guard,

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 6>couple of lifeguards.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I feel like tank.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Certainly, one tank, you unload, one tank, you roll into

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.559
<v Speaker 4>the capitol, you put up our flag and we're done.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, honestly, you probably don't even need that.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Actually, like Katie said, a couple of lifeguards might do

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 4>the trick.

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, if you, if you have a reasonably loud voice,

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 5>you could probably assemble all of Greenland together in one

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 5>stadium and shout to them and explain what's going on,

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 5>and probably have a show of hands vote and be like,

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 5>all right, well, thanks, thanks for coming along. Well we'll

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 5>have some flags brought in later. But it just as

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 5>you were, It's fine. The US is pretty benign when

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 5>it comes to being you know, under our umbrella.

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Elon could cut him eat a check for like ten

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars and they'd all get on board.

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Probably one wouldn't cost that much.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 6>And Don Junior is there, so it's like we're already

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 6>half done. You know, we already got one guy over.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Don Junior going there yesterday and claiming I just

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 4>I've always wanted to see Greenland.

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, come on, I mean, that's that silly.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of foreign policy before we take a break, and

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 4>this is kind of like what Joe was bringing up

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 4>yesterday with the economy. There's a possibility that there are

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 4>some there's some bad news out there economically for Trump.

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 4>That's just part of the business cycle that's got you know,

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 4>it's not anything he can do anything about or will

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 4>be to blame for. But it's just kind of the

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 4>way things go up and down with hiring and firing

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 4>and mortgages and all.

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>That sort of stuff.

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Also with foreign policy, he's got a bunch of stuff

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 4>that's landing on his desk. For instance, the fact that

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Iran is closer to a bamb than they have ever been.

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 4>They currently, according to our own estimates, need about one

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 4>to two weeks to get enough enriched uranium to be

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 4>able to make a bomb, so their breakout time is

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 4>faster than it's ever been. And Israel is sworn that

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 4>one they don't want to let that happen, and two

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 4>they can't do it on their own. They need to

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 4>help with the United States. Trump is hinted that he's

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 4>willing to help on that project. If I had to

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 4>bet money on a big foreign policy story of the

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 4>first portion of Trump's first year, it's going to be

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Israel and US are going to take out Iran's nuclear

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 4>program or something very much like that.

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, something just tangential to that.

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 5>You're one hundred percent right, Yeah, Iran is a frightened,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 5>cornered beast right now. And this is not some sort

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 5>of argument in favor of Obama's phony Iran nuclear deal.

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 5>It's just a statement of fact. They are a cornered beast,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 5>and that's what a beast is most dangerous. So I'm

0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 5>sure our foreign policy wonks have their squarely on them.

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>If not, bb NET and Yaho certainly does.

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Gallup came out with what people think of the Biden

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 4>presidency where it ranks with other presidents not good and don't.

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's gonna get better over time. I

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 4>think this is probably his eye mark would be my guess.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 5>There's this certain emoji that I think is appropriate for

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 5>describing the Biden administration's job in the White House.

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 4>Man the press can claim Nancy Pelosi can ain't the

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 4>smiley one. Nancy can say he ought to be on

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Mount Rushmore, but that ain't the way people feel about it.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 4>Among other things, we've got to talk about on the way.

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 5>We're probably not going to annex Canada, but this guy

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 5>is probably going to be running running the place next.

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.719
<v Speaker 2>That would be the clip we discussed. Hold on just

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 2>a second, my computer here, oh damn computer.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 7>On the on the topic, I mean, in terms of

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 7>your sort of strategy currently. You're obviously taking the populist pathway.

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 7>Well, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language. Quite

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 7>frequently a lot of people would would say that you're

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 7>simply taking a page out of the Donald.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump uh like which people would say that.

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'm served a great many Canadians, but like who,

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 7>I don't know who, but.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.959
<v Speaker 2>Whether the one who asked the questions? So yeah, you

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>much know somebody.

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 7>Okay, taking the page of Donald Trump's book.

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>But what you think about? What page? What page? Can

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you get a page?

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 7>Give me the page you can in terms of in

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 7>terms of turning things quite dramatically, in terms of I'm

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 7>not sure, I don't know, I don't know what you're.

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Quiting that first of all, that's absolutely hilarious. Perfect and

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 4>he he might be the prime minister.

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Pierre Pouliev, he's the leader of the biggest opposition party.

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Really interesting guy.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 5>He really came to promt It's when the like all

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 5>of Canadia, Canada's political establishment blasted the Freedom convoys. Those

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 5>truckers were protesting the COVID nineteen mandates, among other things,

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 5>and the vaccine requirements to be a trucker out on

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 5>the road alone. But Pauliev said, no, these guys are right,

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 5>and so as Canada. Tires of the empty promises and

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 5>the progressive rot of woke Elvis and he's just resigned.

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Paoliev is good. There's a good chance he will be

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the next prime minister. I don't understand.

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 5>It's really interesting adopted son of a couple of school teachers.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Intense workout regimen that involves flipping a five hundred pound

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 5>tractor tire in a field and sprinting up hill while

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 5>dragging a seventy five pound weight sled.

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 2>How old is he he's forty five? Wow?

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, in Canada, they don't understand that somebody needs to

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 5>be at least eighty before they're in charge, right, silly Canadians.

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 4>So the La County Sheriff and the fire department, they're

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 4>doing their first big update since the fire happened. They're

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 4>now saying there have been two deaths. There are thousands

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 4>of structures that have been completely destroyed.

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Thousands. Yeah.

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 4>That is gonna shake out in an interesting way, especially

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 4>the homes and businesses that didn't have any insurance for

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 4>fire that got dropped in the last couple of weeks,

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 4>which we found about out about earlier from a friend

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 4>who had to abandon his home which may have also

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 4>burned down.

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 5>And as today is dry and very windy again today

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 5>could be a nightmare. So certainly hoping and praying for

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 5>the good people of that part of the world. Back

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 5>to Canada, briefly, fifty five percent of Canadians hold an

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 5>unfavorable view of Pollia fifty five percent. That compares to

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 5>seventy four percent negative for Trudeau and his party. So

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 5>you think our politicians are unpopular, woof, But this guy's

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 5>rejected a lot of the woke crap that we've been

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 5>railing against. I've got a great example for you next

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 5>segment if we can squeeze it in the percentage of

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 5>kids in America who are going to government schools where

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 5>they are teaching radical gender theory. It's horrifying. Stay tuned

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 5>to be horrified in Canada, No in the US.

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>In the United States, Okay, yeah, I don't understand why

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 4>more politicians doing to answer questions like that, or sports

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 4>stars or anybody, because you're regularly attacked with like generality,

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 4>some people say, your philosophy, what people what philosophy?

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>What aspect of my philosophy.

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Your critics suggest that they're wrong, or just say, what

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 4>is your specific thing?

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Tell me what you're trying to.

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Don't just hint at something negative and expect me to

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 4>respond to it. What specific thing are you unhappy about

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 4>that you want me to explain. I don't know why

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't that more often. I think it would get

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 4>you out of a lot of jams.

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would.

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 5>I would agree there the tendency of human beings to

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 5>go along with what's expected of them, even if it's

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 5>completely unfair. You know, that's the way we get along

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 5>as a species or a social beast. But it goes

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 5>way too far, particularly when the other side, and I've

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 5>got a good example of this coming up as well,

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 5>particularly when the other side thinks, you know what, we're

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 5>gonna check the rules. We're not going to do the

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 5>things that are you know, the social lubricants that help

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 5>people get along. We're just gonna be mean as hell

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 5>and make people dance to our tune.

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna remember that in my own life. Just a

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 4>critics don't like your tone on this? Which critics? What

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 4>did they say?

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>My tone on what? What did I say? Specifically?

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 4>That you have a problem with, and then I'll respond

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 4>to that as opposed to just a general something well right, or.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 5>Say, I chose my tone intentionally and I stand by it.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 5>What specifically do you have against it? What's the problem?

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 2>That was good?

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 4>An he did it while eating an apple, which makes

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 4>it better, which which is a healthy snack.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Typical of a guy who hurls five hundred pound tractor tires.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>About right they fit?

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 4>How can you lift a flip over a five hundred

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 4>pound tractor tire?

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't wow.

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 4>I want to get to those gallop ratings on how

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 4>people feel about Joe Biden. At this point, it's really

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 4>quite a more people agreed with you than you thought.

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty's listening to the press conference that they're

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>doing right now about the fires in the LA area,

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>and I got a big complaint about that sort of

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that has bothered me my entire media career.

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.400
<v Speaker 2>That might be kind of controversial. I'll get to that later.

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, not controversy. Were iman madmen might make me

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.120
<v Speaker 4>look like a jerk, but that sorry, oh.

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 5>Boy, not again. So I'd meant to mention in discussing

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.719
<v Speaker 5>young mister Pouliev in Canada who maybe the next prime minister.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 5>He told Jordan Peterson that his polling success comes down

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 5>to voters rejecting quote horrendous utopian wokeism and the deteriorating economy.

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 5>He could have been talking about the US, and so

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 5>that's one of the reasons I like the guy. And

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 5>there's actually been some good news on the fighting neo Marxism,

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 5>because that's what all the wokeism is. It mascarades as

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 5>moral or racial or whatever justice seeking.

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not.

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 5>It's just a takeover. But Robbie Starbuck had another big victory.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 5>McDonald's has jumped far back from their crazy ass DEI goals,

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 5>joining you know, wal Martin, John Teere and Tractress Plan

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.639
<v Speaker 5>a whole bunch of others that have backed off of

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 5>those post George Floyd trips down the crazy Highway.

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Is Nike on that list? Did they retreat? I don't

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>think so.

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 5>No. I remember Riley Gaines in her organization made that

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 5>brilliant attitude a little girl. I'm sorry that brilliant I'm

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.199
<v Speaker 5>trying to read and talk at the same time that

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 5>brilliant advertising directed at Nike about protecting women's spaces and

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:50.400
<v Speaker 5>women's sports.

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I super into the variety of hot nikes and

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that, and I thought.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Do I mind?

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Do I want to support this company? I don't remember

0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 4>where they are. I know I hated him at one point.

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So anyway, the reason I bring all of that

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 5>up is just to remind everybody, as I often say,

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 5>this is not the beginning of the end. This is

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 5>the end of the beginning. The troops have just gotten

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:14.119
<v Speaker 5>on the troop ships. GM is just converted from making

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.919
<v Speaker 5>cars to tanks. The fight has just begun dismantling all

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 5>this stuff. And to that end, came across a great

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 5>piece by Daniel buck in The National Review, who points

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 5>out more than a third of American students, more than

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:37.119
<v Speaker 5>a third, are being taught modern radical transgender theory. And

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 5>he talks about it seems every day. Another school unferls

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 5>a young Transjoy banner on school grounds, Another library shelves

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 5>of book delineating the tenets of gender theory. Another district

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 5>hosts of drag event for children. But just how persuasive,

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 5>her pervasive? Rather is this stuff in schools? And he

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 5>poses the question our conservative media merely nut picking finding

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 5>the most egregious example and putting them up on libs

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.399
<v Speaker 5>of TikTok, for instance, because he said there will always

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 5>be some number of kooks, cranks, and other screwballs holding

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.160
<v Speaker 5>conspiratorial views and exhibiting outlandish behavior.

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 2>So are these stories representative or outliers?

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 4>That's very, very true, and I wonder that often right

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 4>to answer that question.

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 5>In a recently released report for the Heritage Foundation, my

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 5>co author Jay Richards and I scan the health education

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 5>framework of every state in America to see how many

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 5>compel educators to teach the central tenet of gender theory

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 5>that gender is socially constructed. And I don't even like

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 5>the term gender. It's an intentionally confusing term. They mean

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:43.400
<v Speaker 5>sex but anyway. Do they encourage a distinction between sex

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 5>or sex organs and gender, the latter of which is

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 5>undefined or treated as a social construct. Do they introduce

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 5>concepts of gender identity or sex assigned at birth to children?

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Do they downplay or omit references to biological sex or

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 5>sex differences? Do they employed terms such as cisgender, transgender,

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 5>and non binary?

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>These are simple questions.

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Affirmative answers are evidence that a curriculum pushes gender ideology

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.919
<v Speaker 5>on teachers and kids. And in all, we found that

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 5>the health frameworks of sixteen states contain the pseudo scientific

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.679
<v Speaker 5>belief that biological sex is entirely divorced from gender. And

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 5>because a number of these are high population states like

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 5>California and New York, that amount it amounts to roughly

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 5>thirty seven percent of American students.

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, over a third get that crap.

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to know how to read and write

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.439
<v Speaker 5>or anything in Connecticut, but they, for example, require that

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 5>students be able to quote, define, and explain differences between

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 5>cis gender, transgender, gender, non binary gender.

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, gender identity. Pull your kid out of

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 4>that school if that's what they're learning. God, that is horrible,

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 4>freaking unbelievable that you're teaching a little kid that a

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 4>little kid's got to memorize that s. I want to

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 4>say the real word because that's what it is. Oh God,

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 4>that makes me mad.

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 5>In California, students are taught that children younger than kindergarten

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 5>can identify as transgender. In fact, it's required they be

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 5>taught that.

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>That is so crazy.

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 4>And you know what, I would hate this if you

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 4>were already succeeding in math and reading and the other

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 4>important things.

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you don't point.

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 4>You've dumped down what qualifies as proficient little by little

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 4>over the years to where it's just embarrassing low, embarrassingly

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 4>low to even.

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Pass, and the numbers are still in the toilet.

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 4>How about you worry about that before you're teaching kindergarteners

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 4>making them memorize the genderbread man.

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you want to talk about scores in the toilet.

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 5>In the Great State of Illinois, students are expected to

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 5>discuss the role and use of hormone blockers.

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>That is so crazy.

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 5>The Governor of Illinois, JB. Prisker, is a monster. He's

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 5>a neo Marxist gender bending monster.

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Can you balance a checkbook on what?

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 4>Now? I can explain you what hormone blockers are. I

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 4>learned it in social studies.

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.640
<v Speaker 5>It's worth noting in points how many of these frameworks

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:09.120
<v Speaker 5>include explicit topics in addition to gender theory, abortion, lubrication,

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.919
<v Speaker 5>many others not fit to print, and thirty seven percent

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 5>probably crazy people are crazy?

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 2>That is correct. You're so crazy.

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 5>Why is there avowed neo Marxists who've influenced soft heads

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 5>into thinking this is morally correct?

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 4>Why is it grade schooler learning about sexual lubricants.

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Even in red states like Alabama, over half of schools

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 5>teach about gender identity, the idea that a person could

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 5>be a gender that doesn't match their biological sex.

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>God, and all this happened like an hour ago. What

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the hell?

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely insane and troubling. But again, we're

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the beginning. Friends. It's you almost

0:23:58.000 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 5>if you step back and look at it as a

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 5>political scientist or a student of ideas, you have to

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 5>be in awe of their effectiveness at operating undercover first,

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 5>then cloaking themselves in what seemed to be moral arguments

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:19.120
<v Speaker 5>or arguments against bigotry that convinced a lot of again

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 5>I call them soft heads well meeting people that don't

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 5>think critically that all of this crazy ass mumbo jumbo

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.960
<v Speaker 5>that nobody believed ten years ago is now not only true,

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 5>but it's so true that anybody who dare say, hey,

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 5>can we talk about this for a minute ought to

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 5>be run out of polite society, ought to be ruined,

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:38.679
<v Speaker 5>ought to lose their career.

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Anybody who just says, whoa, can we tap the brakes here?

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.919
<v Speaker 5>If you still can't recognize a radical ideology and the

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 5>damage it's doing.

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I pity you and get out of the way. The

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 2>rest of us are going to fight it.

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 4>So that fire in the LA Area fires, it's a

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 4>whole bunch of different fires, is horrific. They just had

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 4>a big press conference you can hate with a couple

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.400
<v Speaker 4>of headlines on that. Fox is still saying they're expecting

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.399
<v Speaker 4>one hundred mile an hour gusts today. That does not

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 4>help fighting the fires, all of which are zero.

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Percent contained at this point. We got a lot more

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 2>on the way in a variety of topics.

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 8>Stay here, what you see the remnants of flames. Those

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 8>were all homes and as you drive down pch you

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 8>couldn't receive the water because they are home after home

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.479
<v Speaker 8>after home. Now they are all gone, and he's going

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 8>to pan all the way over to those lights far

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 8>down there.

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Those were all homes. You guys, they're gone. Yeah, it's

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 2>quite amazing.

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 4>I had some people texting me yesterday this is the

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 4>fires in the LA Area. A couple of different spots

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.359
<v Speaker 4>quite far apart where they've got these fires going on,

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 4>including people we personally know who may have had their

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:56.119
<v Speaker 4>homes burned down. Some people are saying, man, have you

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 4>seen the videos? Have you seen the pictures? And I thought, yeah,

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean I've seen fires and everything before, or so

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I can imagine it. Then I actually saw some of

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 4>the stuff on Twitter. Holy crap. I think it was

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 4>the wind that made it so exceptionally crazy. The actor

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 4>James Woods. I was following his Twitter thread as his

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 4>porch was on fire and he's putting out pictures of

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 4>it as he's loading up and taking off and getting

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 4>out of there, and his neighbor's house burnt down, and

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 4>he thinks maybe his house burnt down.

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't been able to go back.

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 4>Thousands of buildings have burnt down, they've already announced, and

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.200
<v Speaker 4>so far only two deaths that they've announced. And is

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 4>it still all zero percent, every single fire zero percent contained?

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.879
<v Speaker 5>At this powling winds all day today again? Oh ye

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 5>a nightmare.

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 4>And last night people I know that were sitting in

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 4>the dark. Electricity was completely off, and you know how

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 4>in the electricity goes out in the neighborhood. It's so

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 4>dang dark you can't see anything. And they had to

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 4>get in the cars and leave and try to find

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 4>their way to a road that didn't have too much

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.360
<v Speaker 4>traffic people getting out of the cars and run into

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 4>the water, like happened in Hawaii a while back.

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, just horrible, horrible, horrible, Mother Nature, Joe, Mother Nature.

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 4>I stopped following Mark Halprin's morning podcast after the election.

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 4>I was on it every single day when he had

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 4>have the very latest news on Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump's campaign,

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 4>and everything like that, because he's one of my favorite

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 4>political journalists and he's got some of the best sources

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 4>in all of journalism. But I was looking at some

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 4>of the quotes that he tweeted out today from his

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 4>podcast this morning.

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I think you might find this interesting. Here's one thing

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 2>he said.

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 4>I have zero doubt that there was more coordination on

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Lawfair than has been reported. I have zero doubt of that,

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 4>and I think it could be extensively more helper and

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 4>reported today. I think that we're going to see a

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 4>congressional investigation about that. We might see a Justice Department

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 4>investigation about the coordination. Maybe we'll see somebody in media

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 4>come forward. I don't think Lawfair is going to age well.

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 4>I remember, you know, we were saying at the time,

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 4>you're telling me all six of these cases magically showed

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 4>up in an election year designed to have him in

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 4>a courtroom while he's running for president. I'll be damned, right,

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:08.119
<v Speaker 4>some of the alleged crimes so fresh, they were sushi grade,

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 4>and some of them years and years ago, right, and.

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 2>They all came down to.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Election year, and obviously coordinating them. The timing of those

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 4>would be completely uncool from a justice standpoint.

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 2>So sure also on that sort of thing.

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 4>Mark Alprin said this morning, I never predict the outcome

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 4>of judges, justices or jurors, but I'm.

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Making an exception today.

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 4>I think the Supreme Court is going to get involved

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 4>in the and block the sentencing in the Stormy Daniel's case.

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 4>I think the Supreme Court will stop this. I don't

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 4>even remember where that one is.

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 2>What did he get?

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 5>What did he he owes her money? Or I happen

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 5>to just be reading about this. This is Judge Juan

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Murshaan who had months and months and months to decide

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 5>on scheduling the sentencing and when and whether to do it,

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 5>and announced with three weeks before the inauguration, Yeah we're

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 5>going to do it in two weeks, and how that

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 5>was unprecedented and crazy and unfair. And it was clearly

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 5>so that Trump would be branded a felon as he

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 5>took the Oval office and not be able to appeal

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 5>it in time.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Right, So that gets to the hole there's some coordination

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 4>going on here.

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh and by the way, that was written in Slate

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 5>for the love of partisanship, the far left state. Slate

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 5>was like, this is not cool, this is not good judging.

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, right, and as we have said a million times,

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 4>but I don't understand how more people don't get it.

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 4>If I'm a lefty, you let this go. You think

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 4>the right's not going to do it when they have

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 4>the power to do it to your guy? Is this

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 4>the way we want it to be going forward?

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Of course not.

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 5>Boy, it's hard to get those arguments to stick. People

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 5>are so feverish for power and they're so cynical in

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 5>the political establishment. I have more on that to come,

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:53.479
<v Speaker 5>but I don't want to get in the way if

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 5>you have more.

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 2>There's one more thing that's not related to that. From the.

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Mark Alpern podcast this morning, and I just thought this

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 4>was interesting. They're talking about a variety of things, and

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:12.719
<v Speaker 4>Trump discussing Greenland and it's benefits and everything like that.

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 4>And Shawn Spicer, who if you remember, was Donald Trump's

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 4>first White House press person, said, I have always been

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 4>shocked by the level of detail that Donald.

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump can command.

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Said Shawn Spicer, his level of recall is, honest to god,

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 4>like no one I've ever seen before. Find that interesting, Oh,

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 4>specifically saying about things he cares about. So if he

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 4>doesn't care about something, he hasn't looked into it. He

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 4>has no interest, as we've all seen, and he knows

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 4>very little about it and is willing to spot off

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 4>of it. But if it's some issue he's interested, Like

0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 4>I think, for whatever reasons, he's decided Greenland is important.

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Apparently he has tons of knowledge about it and looks

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 4>into it and can recall it. It's funny you should

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 4>bring that up.

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 5>I was watching some of the news conferences today and

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 5>it struck me that because Trump's speaking style makes me insane,

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 5>how he doesn't finish sentences and he leaves things on said,

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 5>and he gives his opponents, you know, clubs to club

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 5>him with.

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 2>But it occurred to me.

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember what he was talking about, but I

0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 5>could see in his eyes, this is a guy realizing

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 5>that there are so many tangents to what he's saying.

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 5>If he starts down, that it's going to turn into

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 5>just a cul de sac. And so he just kind

0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 5>of left off because I've often thought, and I'm not

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 5>proud of this, that he just he had nothing else

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 5>to say. But I could tell at that moment he

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 5>had so much to say that he was just kind

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 5>of leaving it alone. And his speaking style is still frustrating.

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 5>But I think it's it's not what I thought it

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 5>was necessarily.

0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So I teach this a couple of times. I should

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 2>mention it.

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 4>Gallopaza with a poll of where Joe Biden ranks as

0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 4>presidents and people's minds currently, and these numbers change over time.

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Some people go up, some people go down. I feel

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 4>like Biden's going to go down over time. If anything,

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 4>I could be wrong, but.

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I agree completely. He doesn't start from a good spot.

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Only six percent of adults responded that history would remember

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 4>Biden as an outstanding president. Thirteen percent thought he'd be

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 4>regarded as above average. So above average and outstanding adds

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 4>up to nineteen percent. And we'll get to some of

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 4>the other presidents to see how it compares it In

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 4>a little bit, but that's very low. Another twenty six

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 4>percent said Biden will go down. His history is just average.

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 4>So Biden's minus thirty five percentage point net positive rating

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 4>ranks near the bottom of the list.

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I'd say near the bottom. And this is all modern

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 2>presidents where they've done gallop polling. So it goes back

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to Kennedy.

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Only Nixon is lower than Biden, at minus forty two

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 4>on the positive versus negative.

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Biden's at minus thirty five.

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 4>So he's down in Nixon territory to start with, and

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I think he's going to go down from there. By

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 4>the way, if you're wondering where some of the other

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 4>presidents work, perhaps the guy you voted for, maybe Donald

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Trump in his first term seventeen percent outstanding, twenty three

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:14.600
<v Speaker 4>percent above average, so that adds up to obviously forty percent,

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and he's got sixteen percent average, so he's in way

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 4>better shape than Joe Biden after his first term.

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 2>This idea is a bunch of malarkey.

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes negative feelings fail as you were hinting at, or

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry they fall as you were hinting at earlier.

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it'll be that So for Biden. He

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 5>was an awful president, awful on virtually every single topic.

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 4>And so much more information is going to come out

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 4>about how bad his brain was and become more clear

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 4>how awful it was for him to make the decision

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.719
<v Speaker 4>to run again. And yeah, yeah, so like Trump has

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 4>got pretty high numbers. Those are people who like Trump,

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 4>voted for Trump. Trump has the highest negative or tide

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 4>for the highest negative number, with Biden at thirty one

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 4>who think he was a poor president. That's Democrats. The

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 4>difference with Biden is those Democrats, the few that said

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 4>he was positive. When they find out how bad a

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.239
<v Speaker 4>shape he was and he ran anyway, they're going to

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:11.879
<v Speaker 4>turn on him.

0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's his numbers are going to be expect so

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 2>they should. Yeah.

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:17.839
<v Speaker 4>By the way, your two highest ranking presidents, Number one,

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 4>John F. Kennedy, he was only president for thirty eight months.

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 4>I think John F. Kennedy twenty two percent outstanding, forty

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.400
<v Speaker 4>eight percent above average.

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a huge number. For whatever reason.

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Some of it to me, it's like looking back on

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 5>the career of Nirvana Kurt Kobain.

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he died young. I remember talking to my

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 2>parents about this.

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 5>The worshipfulness of JFK in school and they said, you know,

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 5>he didn't finish his term. And there are some pretty

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:49.800
<v Speaker 5>serious birds coming home.

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 4>To roost Reagan and Obama with very high numbers. Also

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 4>a couple of two term presidents in modern history.

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Biden and Trump. Down toward the bottom.

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 5>Our four of the show you might find interesting. And

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 5>if you don't get hour four live, grab it vive podcast,

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 5>you ought to subscribe to Armstrong and Getting on demand.

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a fan of cynicism.

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:08.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm a skeptic and a realist, but there's one area

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 5>of life that you ought to be bitterly cynical about.

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 5>We will discuss hope you can stay around Armstrong and

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:14.360
