I'd say that on 20 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the low side, depends which way you swing. 21 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: How about that underground nightclub they rated in Colorado yesterday? 22 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: I was gonna stunts not the fair word, because it's legit. 23 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: It's been undercover operation going on for a long time. 24 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: But I'm sure the timing is not coincidental with the 25 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: big one hundred day hoopla coming up tomorrow. 26 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I said, there's certainly a great of truth 27 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: to that too. Yeah, it's absolutely needed to be done. 28 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, gang members of various strifes, hundreds 29 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: of illegals, guns, drugs, et cetera, in charming Colorado Springs, 30 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: where my parents lived for a good dozen years. 31 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: Well, what's amazing, is you gonna tell me? No local 32 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: law enforcement caught on to the fact that there's a 33 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: nightclub where hundreds of people gather on a regular basis. 34 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: Well, they did work with local law enforcement, but before 35 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: the Feds got involved. Oh yeah, yeah, so giant and 36 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: running drugs and prostitution and everything else, and the MS 37 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: thirteen involved in the whole thing. I mean, it's crazy, 38 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: you know what that is? Actually, there's sanctuary people out there, 39 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: so exactly that's a factor in the story. Colorado has become, 40 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, just a hotspot for illegals and illegal gang 41 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: members because of their sanctuary policies, which is crazy. Of course. 42 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: So the Colorado Springs police are listening right now saying, yeah, 43 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: we wanted to do something about it, but we kept 44 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: being told to stand down. 45 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: Because we weren't going to join fascist Trump, right right. Yeah, 46 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. And the videos, 47 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: if you haven't seen, the videos, are wild. I mean 48 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: there's all kinds of girls running around and dresses and 49 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: high heels because they're in a nightclub dancing. I mean, 50 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: they didn't know the federal government is about to come 51 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: in blowing whistles and hands in the air and that 52 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: whole thing. And you had more than a dozen military 53 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: dudes there who were working security. Apparently I was a 54 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: good side hustle to pick up on the weekends work 55 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: security at that nightclub, which they who know, they knew 56 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: it was illegal or not. 57 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: Like from the Air Force Academy, which is also in 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: the Spring. 59 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: Certainly could be just said military personnel and looked into it, 60 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: which us makes sense. 61 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, working a little off duty security. Holy crap, here's 62 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the Feds. Yeah. Well, hey, same team, guys, same team, 63 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: just a little side hustle. I love a guy. 64 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So that'll be a fun story to follow. 65 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: And then the other side of the whole immigration thing, 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: if you're into it, is the whole booting out babies 67 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: with cancer story that the mainstream media is really really digging, 68 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: which Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, tried to clear 69 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: up yesterday, and we'll get to that a little later 70 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: in the show. 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: I've missed that one somehow. My weekend was a political 72 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: controversy free mostly intentionally. 73 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we got that. One hundred days is a 74 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: stupid marker that got started with FDR and everybody acts 75 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: like it's a report card that's important or something. I 76 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: don't know it it's not. It's it's the definition of 77 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: a pseudo event. It's the media creates an event. So 78 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: there was a book written by this many years ago. 79 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: It's a pseudo event. The media creates these things and 80 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: then can report on them so that they have news stories. 81 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: But it's completely made up. So yeah, you know, it's 82 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: it's funny. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking 83 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: stock of the early days, you know, when it's appropriate. 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, and it's it's quite the festival of reporting 85 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: and opinionating and sure, you know, editorial writing and the 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: rest of it, and it's entirely self generated. Yeah, why 87 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: are you counting me down, Michael? I'm sorry, I was 88 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: just adjusting my camera here. Oh, okay, making sure my 89 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: fingers could be seen. Okay, that Michael's giving me the talent. 90 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: I got to stop in ten seconds, or I realized 91 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: as soon as I did that it was your drivel. 92 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: Another ten seconds will go crazy. I'm going to confuse 93 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: these guys as they're speaking. I'm sorry. Yeah. And the 94 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: other thing we'll have to get to at some point. 95 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: Five major polls came out over the weekend, so there 96 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: was lots for the Sunday talk shows to grab onto. 97 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: And Trump's numbers are down, but everybody's numbers go down 98 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: after the beginning. So again, how much in what areas? 99 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: That's what. 100 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: That's where it gets interesting, and well we'll get into that, 101 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: and then of course we'll break down Round five of 102 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: the NFL Draft as we always do. It's been a full. 103 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: Real surprises towards the second half of the fifth round. Jack. 104 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: Among the things I did over the weekend that I 105 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: look forward to talking to, wrote a waim for the 106 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: first time. The automated taxi, the fully automated taxi. Oh my, 107 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: did that with my son in San Francisco on Saturday night. 108 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: You appear to be intact. 109 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'd drive a self driving I draw 110 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: a self driving Tesla to the city, so it's not 111 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: quite as shocking to me to then get into a 112 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: self driving taxis. It might be if you've never done 113 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: that sort of thing, but do want to talk about 114 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: that technology, and it is the future, no doubt about it. 115 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: But better than that. 116 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: The next night, I took a actual uber. I was 117 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: gonna say taxi. Nobody takes a tax anymore, poor taxi drivers. 118 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe now you got time for a shower so 119 00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: you're not driving unfortunate stereotype inaccurate. I took on with 120 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: a guy from Pakistan, you know, man for Pakistan driving. 121 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: I had a fascinating conversation about Pakistan, Middle East politics, 122 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: all kinds of different things, homelessness in America, really really 123 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: good stuff. 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: So Ken look ford to talking about that night later.

I finally had to admit 129 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: that to myself. But my ears are plugged up completely. 130 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: I'm barely here. I've been sick for that. Don't get 131 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: this disease whatever it is. So do you remember Congressman 132 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: Doug Ocy.

Is it a 338 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: generation I guess of young women who are wildly radicalized 339 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: and enthused about far leftist politics. Then I want to 340 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: see him interviewed every seven years as they go through life. 341 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: Do they stay completely crazed and unhinged from reality? Do 342 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: they have a come to not Jesus but come to 343 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: Madison moment in most of their lives where they realize, oh, 344 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: Western civilization is a really good idea, or what I 345 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: wonder how that'll go. They are a weird little ideological demographic. 346 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: As always need to point out. They didn't raise themselves, right, 347 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's the radical leftists who got hold 348 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: of the teachers' colleges and then the education system, as 349 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: I'm always ranting about. So speaking of leftists and that 350 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: sort of thing, a CNN is a joke and I 351 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: can see that. But I've got some really interesting information 352 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: about the continuing erosion of people's perception of the media, 353 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: and it starts with a CNN thing, and it was 354 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: network anchor Abby Phillips, in total earnestness earnestness, last week, 355 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: said that the erosion of media credibility is driven by 356 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: right wing rhetoric. What, yes, exactly, it's just attacks from 357 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: the right wing. Mass media are dying, said the CNN 358 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: guest and self appointed media authority Jeff Jarvis. The problem 359 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: is that right wing has taken advantage of the situation, 360 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: I think quite cleverly, quite wisely, they've played it into 361 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: a weakness. And wow, well that's hilarious. 362 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: So Fox years ago just you know, figures out, you know, 363 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: practically all media is left leaning. How about we present 364 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: something that's right reading, like, because I'm sure there's an 365 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: audience for. 366 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: That, and that's taking advantage of a situation. Yeah. Well, 367 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: Scott Jennings, the token conservative on CNN, said what situation? 368 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: Jarvis says the situation of being under attack, and Jennings says, 369 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: what the right wing is taking advantage of is that 370 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: the American people say enough is enough. They're tired of 371 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus 372 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: another political coverage, tired of media institutions favoring one party 373 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: over the other, which is clearly true. And then Abby 374 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: Phillips jumps in, a lot of this is driven by 375 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: the rhetoric on your side of the aisle, and Jennings says, 376 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: you think the drop in trust is driven by rhetoric 377 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and not the performance. Wow, absolutely, Philip said absolutely, which 378 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: is absolutely hilarious. And then here's that answers a question 379 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: I've had for a long time, at least for that person, 380 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: do they know there is my or do they actually 381 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: think they're playing it down the middle? And apparently, at 382 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: least in that guy's case, they think they're playing it 383 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: down the middle, which is hilarious. So before I get 384 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: into some of the other numbers, I think this is 385 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: such a beautiful example. According to one of the Biden books, 386 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: that Biden was senile and everybody knew it books that 387 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: have come out recently, this one by Chris Whipple uncharted 388 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: how Trump beat Biden, Harrison the odds and the wildest 389 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: campaign and history. According to longtime aid Ronan who would 390 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: know eighty one year old Biden as they were trying 391 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: to prep for the debates, was fatigued, be fuddled, and disengaged. 392 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: He wouldn't stop blabbering about NATO and quote how much 393 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: foreign leaders loved him. At one point, why Biden just 394 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: wandered off by the pool and fell asleep in a 395 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: lounge chair. Claim started to debate, Claim started to worry 396 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: the debate could turn into a nationally televised disaster it 397 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: which it did. Here's what Caitlin Collins said just before 398 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: the debate quote President Biden has spent days locked in 399 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: intense preparation, surrounded by his closest advisors at Camp David, 400 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: and our sources are telling us that tonight that full 401 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: mock debates are underway at the podium underlights. He's even 402 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: watching tape, as I reported while covering him in the 403 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: White House. When Biden prepares, he does so incredibly intensively. 404 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: Oh boy, that is so beautiful. So let's take a 405 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: look at the data. Only eight percent of Americans report 406 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: having a great deal of trust and confidence in the 407 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: mass media. Eight percent have a great deal of confidence. 408 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: That's not good. It's well earned, but that's not good. Yeah, 409 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: if there's delight in my voice, then there is And 410 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: I really need to take a long look at myself 411 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: from delighting over the fall of the mainstream media. It's 412 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: because awareness is good. You've got to fully identify a 413 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: problem before you you can cure it. 414 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 2: Well, Like I've become a news Nation guy in the morning. 415 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: I check them out too now and they're trying to 416 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: be not either Fox or MSNBC, and more than the slant, 417 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: I notice just the lack of anger, and I got 418 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: to admit it's weirdly boring. There's just like nobody's mad, 419 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: nobody's fired up about anything. They just give you the 420 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 2: story and the fact that there's nobody there to say. 421 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 2: And that's why trump Zhitdler or that's why liberal those 422 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: are communists. I mean, without that element, it's just kind 423 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: of dry. 424 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what to do about that. Wow, 425 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: what's in the line of the blind The one eyed 426 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: man is king in the time of hyperbole, the reasonable 427 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: man is ignored manly So eight percent have a great 428 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: deal of trust and confidence in the mass media when 429 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly 430 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: eight percent thirty six percent more than quadruple, closing in 431 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: on quintuple, said they had no confidence at all. Not surprisingly, 432 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: distressed among Republicans had grown exponentially under President. 433 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 2: Yes, I think I'd be in the no confidence at 434 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: all category. Yeah, I've got no confidence at all in 435 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: the mainstream media. Every single thing I hear. I fact 436 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 2: checked myself best I can. 437 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting. I'd have to think about that 438 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: a little bit, just because I feel like I'm pretty 439 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: good at identifying bias and so I just rolled my 440 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: eyes and sad. Oh, that paragraph is completely crap. But okay, 441 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: that's what actually happened. That paragraph's pretty good. I don't know. 442 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: More importantly, Oh so, the number of Republicans who have 443 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: no trust at all is twenty seven percent. Was twenty 444 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: seven percent in twenty fifteen. It's now fifty nine percent. Wow, 445 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: no trust at all. Wow. Interestingly, it's all interesting. But 446 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: the percentage of independence who say they have no confidence 447 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: in our press has surged from twenty seven percent in 448 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen to forty two percent in twenty twenty four 449 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: No trust at all. I don't have like little or 450 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: some trust. It would take you long to look. 451 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 2: Over, you know, to argue against your You'd have to 452 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: think about it. You just lived through mainstream media pretending 453 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: the president wasn't senile. 454 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Four years of a completely. 455 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 2: Made up Russian investigation where we're this close to Trump 456 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: being outed as a spy. 457 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what, yeah, yeah, maybe I'm just a giving 458 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: and trusting soul. I've known certain people who were utter 459 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: liars and frauds and sheets in their lives. But if 460 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: they handed me a nice looking right banana and said, Joe, 461 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: this is a banana, I would believe that reporting on 462 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: me but inflation reduction act with a straight face. But overall, yes, overall, 463 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: you're quite right, quite right. But remember Jack, the decline 464 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: and trust is just because of right wing attacks. And 465 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: then I can't remember who wrote this in Taketoo. I'll 466 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: look in a second. But do you suppose this is 467 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: in any way the fault of the press, or is 468 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: it as Philip suggests, it's that right wing rhetoric blah 469 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: blah blah. The press's credibility crisis is of its own making. 470 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: Everything from its botched cover of the lead up to 471 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: the disastrous war in Iraq, which was you know, on 472 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: a different side, it's abysmal handling of the COVID nineteen panics. Absolutely, oh, 473 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: the canceling and silencing of anybody who dared tell well 474 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: what turned out to be true, absurd insistence Joe Biden 475 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: was in tip top shape, et cetera, et ceteras Jackie 476 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Jackie here where Jackie right right? And this is interesting too, 477 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: worth knowing. I mean, what's her name for CNN's an idiot, 478 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: and I don't feel any need to argue against her. 479 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: But the decline in trust predates Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. 480 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: It actually dates back to the Nixon administration. In nineteen 481 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: seventy two, the percentage of respondents who had a great 482 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: deal of fair amount of confidence in the mass media 483 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: was seventy percent, and it's dropped thirty seven points. 484 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: It's not good, no, but it is you can create 485 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: a media that people would trust. I just don't know 486 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: if there's an audience anymore that wants it. Like I 487 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: was saying about how the strange blandness of watching a 488 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: news channel where nobody's angry. 489 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, or particularly well you might even say where 490 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: nobody's particularly enthusiastic about one idea or ou one narrative 491 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: or another. Yeah, and you, if you were to build 492 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: media that is trusted now, it would be very different 493 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: than the media that was trusted in nineteen seventy two. Sure, 494 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: it would have to be polarized, I'd think, Yeah. I mean, 495 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: if you're the sort of media you're talking about, you're 496 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: you know, forty percent of the Democratic Party that's insanely left. 497 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: They would never trust that outlet. 498 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: Sure, we mentioned last week the guy who runs sixty 499 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: minutes is leaving just they've only had three people run 500 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: the thing since it started before we were born. 501 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: But he's still there. 502 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: And I don't know if you did you see story 503 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: number two on sixty minutes last night about nine to eleven? 504 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: Wow? 505 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: Was that interesting? That was like an old fashioned sixty minutes? 506 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: How could this be? Crew really didn't have a political 507 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: angle story. We'll have to talk about later about video 508 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: from nine to eleven that is emerged that the the. 509 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: FBI never saw, CIA never saw. 510 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: It's like, what, how is this even possible? Really good story, 511 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: we'll get into. 512 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: That, l Well, what was the angle are you pitching 513 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: the inside job there, Candae Owens are on, Uh, well, 514 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how you explain it. I don't know 515 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: how you explain it. 516 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 4: Uh. 517 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to do a brief version of it 518 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: because it'll be confusing. But maybe i'll bring that up 519 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: an hour two and we'll play a little bit of 520 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: that for you. 521 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: Did you hear Scott Pelley did an editorial at the 522 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: end of it. No, a parent company, Paramount has put 523 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: pressure on sixty minutes. No, I did not. I want 524 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: to hear that. I don't know that yet. 525 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: We've got the audio. Okay, we'll get into that whole conversation. 526 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: Joe's got mail bag coming up in a bunch of stuff. 527 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: Stay here. 528 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: No more I read about it, the more I think, 529 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: unless there's for some reason or reversal in the whole 530 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: tariff thing, like Trump changes his mind, says, you know, 531 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: claims victory in a variety of fronts and ends it, 532 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: or the Supreme Court steps in and says you're not 533 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: allowed to do that. If they continue, it's about to 534 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: be the only story in America. I think, like, yes, 535 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 2: the only thing every day. Yeah, like soon within a week. 536 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: Maybe aren't those the economic growth numbers out to do 537 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: out this week. Yes, thirtieth last day of April, right right, yeah, okay, 538 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: a couple of days Wednesday, all right, something to look 539 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: forward to. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day 540 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: from John F. Kennedy. I love this. This ought to 541 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: be chiseled into the rock facades of the so called 542 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: elite universities. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the 543 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: enemy of growth. Yeah, damn sheep, kafia ware and hamas 544 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: support and stupid little sheep. Wow, that was not as 545 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: eloquit as Kennedy, but it's a good freedom love me quote. 546 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: I love the conformity is the jailer of freedom and 547 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: the enemy of growth. 548 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: You should have had your dad write you a more 549 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 2: literate sentence to get me into Harvard. Here's here's your 550 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 2: mail bag. Your mail bag at Armstrong and Geeddy dot 551 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: com as the email address. Drop us a line now 552 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: and again. 553 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: Oh, guys, listening to your bit about what can destroy 554 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: marriage contempt? Right, I realized you helped us understand Trump 555 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: derangement syndrome. Simply contempt. There's nothing he could conceivably do 556 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: that you would concede. Oh, that went pretty well. In 557 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: the same way that if you've come to have contempt 558 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: for your spouse or partner, you won't say, you know, 559 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: he has a really good sense of humor. You can't 560 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: bring yourself to say that. Right. That's a good point. Yeah, 561 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: well said there, Brian. Also, a lot of the interaction 562 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: between parties is simply contempt, and there's no way to 563 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: get through to those that have gone too far down 564 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: that road. Brian, and walla wallah, well done. Sir Jack 565 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: is right about the next part, Hope, writes Todd and 566 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: san Diego. When he expressed a preference for an African 567 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: pope to succeed Pope Francis, he spoke a bigger mouthful 568 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: than he probably realized. Not only would an African pope 569 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: call attention to the sufferings of the people on that continent, 570 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: as you pointed out, Jacket, would also be consequential in 571 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: two other ways. One, Africa is the front line in 572 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: the battle between Islamism and civilization, and this battle would 573 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: receive more of the attention it deserves from the world 574 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: if an African bishop became pope. That's a really good point, Ton. Two, 575 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: Africa is the present and future of vigorous high doctrine Christianity, 576 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: in sharp contrast with the woke shell of empty churches 577 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: and progressivized cliches that passed for the church in Europe. 578 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: Anyone who wants traditional religions to hold onto their traditions 579 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: instead of becoming secularized NGOs should be rooting for one 580 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: of Africa's conservative cardinals to become the next pope. Wow, 581 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: that's some great analysis, Todd. You want to become our 582 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: religion correspondent. 583 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: We'll have on you every time a pope dies, so 584 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: I wouldn't quit your other job since it's probably once 585 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: every twenty years. Conclave starts this week and they'll start 586 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: picking a pope. 587 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: I guess a bunch of pope pickers. Ps. He writes, Hey, 588 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: he's on a heater. Let's keep going with this. Ps. 589 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: One of the top contenders is Jerusalem's Cardinal Pierre Baptista 590 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Piete Sabella. Yes, his name is Pete Sabella. It would 591 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: be great to see him get elected and choose the 592 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: name John the twenty four so everyone would call him 593 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: Papa John. You know what, Todd, maybe I should have 594 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: stopped after your second. Yeah, let's see. Here's the thought 595 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: provoking note from Rick. Let's see, he was talking about 596 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: how last week we talked to Josh Hoover, California State Assemblyman, 597 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: very reasonable guy, solid conservative, and he was talking about 598 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: at least one member of the state legislature during a 599 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: recent hearing made reference to the possibility of passing any 600 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: type of legislation to ban men and women's sports as 601 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: going down the road to becoming Nazis. And he says, Joe, 602 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: you responded to him by saying, we need a universally 603 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: agreed upon phrase to describe this phenomenon, this sort of 604 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: argument that divides us distinctly into this binary perception that 605 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: there is only good and evil. Well, the word is Manichean, 606 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: but nobody uses that word, the idea being you're either 607 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: completely good or completely evil. There's no truth to both sides, 608 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But he says, I don't have 609 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: a specific word, and I couldn't find anything, but as 610 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: a suggestion, I offer a HICCK. An acronym HICCK would 611 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: be defined as it's an hic hyperbolic incendiary characterization designed 612 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: to as certain moral authority, thereby canceling any discussion or 613 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: attempts at resolving a dissension. Of opinion. You can use 614 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: it as a noun. You have no argument. All you 615 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: can do is make hicks proverb. See, you're hiccking away 616 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: just because you're unwilling to approach this from anyone else's viewpoint, 617 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: where descriptive down Maxine Waters is a career hicco fan. Well, 618 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: let's see if that catches on. I love it, well done, Rick, 619 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: So I want. 620 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 2: To get into some of those poll numbers, all the 621 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: big polls that came out over the weekend, one particular aspect, 622 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 2: in particular, check in on sixty minutes. 623 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: Some interesting stuff. 624 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 2: Happened in that world last night, including that story about 625 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: nine to eleven if you didn't see it, among other things. 626 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 2: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 627 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 2: Getty on demand 628 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
