<v Speaker 2>Studioca signor a dimly lit room deep put in the

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. Hey, y'all,

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>brand new week. All that's exciting.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Who knows what? This is the week? And this is

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the week.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 2>This week, all your dreams come true, all of them,

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean all of them personally, romantically, business wise, all of.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Them come thrue this week.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 2>And today we're under the tutelage of our general manager,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondie, America's hottest attorney general.

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>And why is she or a general manager?

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Today?

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department is on the move. Pam's on the move,

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>making the appearances on TV, doing interviews, arresting baddies. She is,

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>according to science, Jack seven point eight times sexier than

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr. And that's the record. I'd say that on

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the low side, depends which way you swing.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>How about that underground nightclub they rated in Colorado yesterday?

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna stunts not the fair word, because it's legit.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>It's been undercover operation going on for a long time.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>But I'm sure the timing is not coincidental with the

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.519
<v Speaker 2>big one hundred day hoopla coming up tomorrow.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I said, there's certainly a great of truth

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>to that too. Yeah, it's absolutely needed to be done.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my goodness, gang members of various strifes, hundreds

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>of illegals, guns, drugs, et cetera, in charming Colorado Springs,

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>where my parents lived for a good dozen years.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's amazing, is you gonna tell me? No local

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement caught on to the fact that there's a

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>nightclub where hundreds of people gather on a regular basis.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, they did work with local law enforcement, but before

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>the Feds got involved. Oh yeah, yeah, so giant and

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>running drugs and prostitution and everything else, and the MS

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>thirteen involved in the whole thing. I mean, it's crazy,

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what that is? Actually, there's sanctuary people out there,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>so exactly that's a factor in the story. Colorado has become,

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a hotspot for illegals and illegal gang

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>members because of their sanctuary policies, which is crazy. Of course.

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 1>So the Colorado Springs police are listening right now saying, yeah,

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to do something about it, but we kept

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.119
<v Speaker 1>being told to stand down.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Because we weren't going to join fascist Trump, right right. Yeah,

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>it'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. And the videos,

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't seen, the videos, are wild. I mean

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>there's all kinds of girls running around and dresses and

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>high heels because they're in a nightclub dancing. I mean,

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>they didn't know the federal government is about to come

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>in blowing whistles and hands in the air and that

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. And you had more than a dozen military

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>dudes there who were working security. Apparently I was a

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>good side hustle to pick up on the weekends work

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>security at that nightclub, which they who know, they knew

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>it was illegal or not.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Like from the Air Force Academy, which is also in

0:03:59.160 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the Spring.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Certainly could be just said military personnel and looked into it,

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>which us makes sense.

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, working a little off duty security. Holy crap, here's

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the Feds. Yeah. Well, hey, same team, guys, same team,

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>just a little side hustle. I love a guy.

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, So that'll be a fun story to follow.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>And then the other side of the whole immigration thing,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 2>if you're into it, is the whole booting out babies

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 2>with cancer story that the mainstream media is really really digging,

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>which Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, tried to clear

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>up yesterday, and we'll get to that a little later

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>in the show.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I've missed that one somehow. My weekend was a political

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>controversy free mostly intentionally.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we got that. One hundred days is a

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>stupid marker that got started with FDR and everybody acts

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>like it's a report card that's important or something. I

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know it it's not. It's it's the definition of

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a pseudo event. It's the media creates an event. So

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>there was a book written by this many years ago.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a pseudo event. The media creates these things and

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>then can report on them so that they have news stories.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's completely made up. So yeah, you know, it's

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it's funny. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>stock of the early days, you know, when it's appropriate.

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, and it's it's quite the festival of reporting

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and opinionating and sure, you know, editorial writing and the

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of it, and it's entirely self generated. Yeah, why

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>are you counting me down, Michael? I'm sorry, I was

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>just adjusting my camera here. Oh, okay, making sure my

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 1>fingers could be seen. Okay, that Michael's giving me the talent.

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I got to stop in ten seconds, or I realized

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>as soon as I did that it was your drivel.

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Another ten seconds will go crazy. I'm going to confuse

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>these guys as they're speaking. I'm sorry. Yeah. And the

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>other thing we'll have to get to at some point.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Five major polls came out over the weekend, so there

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>was lots for the Sunday talk shows to grab onto.

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>And Trump's numbers are down, but everybody's numbers go down

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>after the beginning. So again, how much in what areas?

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:58.359
<v Speaker 1>That's what.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>That's where it gets interesting, and well we'll get into that,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and then of course we'll break down Round five of

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 2>the NFL Draft as we always do. It's been a full.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Real surprises towards the second half of the fifth round. Jack.

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Among the things I did over the weekend that I

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>look forward to talking to, wrote a waim for the

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>first time. The automated taxi, the fully automated taxi. Oh my,

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>did that with my son in San Francisco on Saturday night.

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You appear to be intact.

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I'd drive a self driving I draw

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>a self driving Tesla to the city, so it's not

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>quite as shocking to me to then get into a

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>self driving taxis. It might be if you've never done

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing, but do want to talk about

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>that technology, and it is the future, no doubt about it.

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>But better than that.

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>The next night, I took a actual uber. I was

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna say taxi. Nobody takes a tax anymore, poor taxi drivers.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe now you got time for a shower so

0:06:52.960 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you're not driving unfortunate stereotype inaccurate. I took on with

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>a guy from Pakistan, you know, man for Pakistan driving.

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a fascinating conversation about Pakistan, Middle East politics,

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of different things, homelessness in America, really really

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>good stuff.

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>So Ken look ford to talking about that night later. Yeah. Nice. Nice.

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>So obviously you've bounced back health wise about that, No,

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just soldiering on regardless.

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, as I've finally admitted to myself I'm a person

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>who gets sick a lot. I finally had to admit

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>that to myself. But my ears are plugged up completely.

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm barely here. I've been sick for that. Don't get

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>this disease whatever it is. So do you remember Congressman

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Doug Ocy. We used to have it from California guy

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Anyway, he responded to me on Twitter and said, yeah,

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I think I had exact thing you had. He said,

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm at two weeks at If you're at two weeks,

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you got a week to go. I thought that can't be.

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>There are no three week diseases. I mean, like the

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>like viruses that come and go that I've ever heard

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of three weeks.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I'm three weeks into it. Just about same thing.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Katie's mom and pop hads it sounds like, yes, some

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>some nasty respiratory thing that just hangs on and on.

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't been named, shouldn't have a clever name that

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the media can obsess over. Does it have anything to

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>do with COVID, Like did COVID do something to our

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>immune systems? Or did it spawn some viruses out there

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>that didn't exist before three weeks? What the hell?

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Katie, Oh no, it's just my mom and dad

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 3>started coughing at the end of March and they're still

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 3>they're still going strong.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh great, wow, wow, Hang out be this way forever.

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Yeah, but it needs a name. The beaver

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>pox or raccoon flu or. I don't know, pigeon fever,

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Sometimes yes, yes, I like beaver pox.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean good to you do not appear to be

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>pocked in any way, but for the David Mirrors of

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the world to say, and beaver pox continues to spread

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>across it's the Midwest, this mysterious disease.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>When will it and we'll talk to experts. Frank, Okay,

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.959

<v Speaker 1>just close information before before it's time. There you go

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>as Russians to the best Russian accent.

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 2>They do they do, don't they in a comical way,

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>not trying to be at Sir je A Lavrov, the

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 2>spokesman for Putin, who has been Putin spokesman for like

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, twenty five years or something like that.

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>The Foreign Minister one of the shows yesterday. I have

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>read Donald Trump's book The Art of Being the Deal

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>or whatever he said, and need to make a good point.

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>He did.

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>He did one place say we are very polite here

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>in Russia. We do not talk about the deal with

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>only between each other, not in front of cameras, which

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>is certain to a certain extent, a good idea when

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to make.

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And here's the deal, stand next to that window.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>He also lied endlessly, like he has to or he

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 2>would be pushed out of a window about all kinds

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>of things. I was actually getting angry listening to him

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about we have taken no children, many many children

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 2>found themselves without parents and orphanages, and we have rescued them.

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And just all kinds of just lies, lies, lies, lies,

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>which is what they did.

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>But Trump said the harshest things that he said about

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 2>putting over the weekend by far.

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you do.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 2>You see that amazing picture of him and Zelensky at

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the Vatican alone in a corner together talking to thread

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's something.

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to know what that conversation was, you know,

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>as I was thinking when I saw that, because they

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>were completely alone, without reporters, interpreters and anything like that,

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>so they had actually spoken very honestly, and I was thinking.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>About it without jd vance right, good point.

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And I was thinking about the Bill Mahr thing where

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Bill Maher said in person, he's nothing like on camera.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's very self aware of anything like. I

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 2>wonder if Zelensky got the very honest, self aware Trump

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump saying, look, here's the situation. This guy's a murderous

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>lunatic and I'm trying to or something.

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, yeah, that's a fascinating question. I

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>wish I knew the answer.

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe we'll know someday. Because Zelensky didn't say anything

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 2>reporters asked him. He said, we're gonna keep all this private,

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 2>So I wonder. And then Trump saying some pretty harsh

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>things about about Russia, which we'll get to it later

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>from a truth social that he put out. Uh, Katie's

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>got headlines on the way. Katie seems to be better.

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's healthy side for me all on the way, stay

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>here text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Look at some of the projections for what were prices

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 2>are going to be because of the tariffs very soon,

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and you don't know if they're accurate or not.

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Who knows.

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 2>And you never know when the tariffs are going to end,

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>because it could be any day. But if they are

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 2>accurate in the tariffs hold for a while, holy crap,

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll be the only thing anybody's talking about.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the numbers behind the numbers Jack. What businesses are investing,

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>what they are building has dropped precipitously as they're like,

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't know how to plan, so we're just not

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>going to do anything. We're not going to grow. That's bad.

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>That's really really bad. But more on that to come.

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of good stuff to squeeze in this hour

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>of the entire show. You wanted Kamala to win exactly that.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>That's code for I wish Kamala Harrison had won. All right,

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>let's be I'm sorry. Now let's begin the show. Let's

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 1>figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story with

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Katie Green and Katie Oh.

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Kind of along those lines from CNN. Trump took the

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 3>US economy to the brink of a crisis in just

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 3>one hundred days.

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Whatever. Alright, CNN, please.

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 3>For maybe see Putin says North Korean quote friends helped

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Russia push Ukraine out of Kursk.

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>He's looking at Curry favor of a little fat head.

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>What an unholy aligance that bored man? Oh man? Are

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 1>they gonna get like a two bedroom apartment? Held from

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>they're both there?

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 3>From the New York Times, US military says it's air

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 3>campaign has hit more than eight hundred targets in Yemen.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, the whole bombin of the houthis you don't

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>hear much about that these days, pretty closely tied to

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Iran though that story is on gooy from the Wall

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Street Journal.

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Meta's digital companions will talk sex with users, even children.

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, well what Jack, You notice the skepticism there.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>No, the children part obviously is horrible, but it's it's

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 2>bad for mankind even if you leave out the whole

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 2>talking of children thing. The relayationships, the way people are

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>turning to AI, I've got some examples from from real life. Yeah,

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 2>people really leaning on the chat bought sex bots for

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>their companionship, which.

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Is wholly crap crazy to me. Yeah, dropping birth rates

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>are just going to keep plunging, and then the planet

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of the be versus anyway, So I read that piece

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Kdie and one of the more revealing aspects of it

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>was the fact that metas staffers, we're saying, hey, this

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>is this is like porn for children, this is and

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Zuckerberg was like, shut up, shut up. It's competitive industry.

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>We got to get on top. So some kids get

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>exposed to sexually explicit stuff onward and upward. Wow, are

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you sure you're being fair? There is that? No? No, yes,

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I am entirely certain of being fair. Yeah. Wow, yeah,

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>he said, no, we can't be the cautious. Keep going.

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 3>From Breitbart dot com.

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Kanye West gets.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Banned from Twitch in just seven minutes after Hitler salute

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 3>and rant about impregnating Paris Hilton.

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure what Twitch is, but.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>It's the gamer streaming, all right.

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I know I'd heard of it. My kids do that.

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I did that. Yeah, it's huge. I was chatting with

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>my son last night, who was a bit of a

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>hipster and a fan of Yee back in the day,

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said he now he has some sort of

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>confrontational syndrome where he has to drive people away. He

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>attracts them, then he drives them away. It's his own

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>mental kink. I can't remember the name of the syndrome.

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But he said he's now driving away the Nazi types

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that he's attracted to him something oppositionals And.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I've seen I've known people who kind of did that,

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 2>like they had to be repulsive enough and then they

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>would then then they could do to see nobody likes

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>me routine, yes, which is obviously very unhealthy.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of repulsive from the New York Post, Southwest Airlines

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.479
<v Speaker 3>passenger stripped naked and pooped on her seat.

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>As the plane landed. Well, at least there was her seat.

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean strip naked. I mean there's there's a certain

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>amount of naked stripping that's required to you know, complete

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the act y god above the age of like three. Yes, yeah,

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>she wanted she went all the way? Wow. Wow, Okay,

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>how would I react to that? It's Kanye's future wife, right,

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I would want to change seats? Can I change seats

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>before you land? Approach? Yeah? Your pretty trade tables up.

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 2>They stow away your electronics and if you need to defecate,

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead and do it, pooping in your seat, wrap

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>it up as.

0:16:54.880 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Quickly as possible, and finally the battle on bee behind

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.120
<v Speaker 3>closed doors. Pope is still focused, sharp and energetic.

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, that's a good one. That is a good one.

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 2>And after you if you think you've ever seen a

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>better pope than this one right now.

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 1>More on the plunging rates of trust in the media

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and why coming up among other fair hope you can

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>stick around Armstrong and getty.

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 4>Among men in gen Z forty five fifty five, Trump's

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 4>approval rating, that's what we saw with everybody. Among women,

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 4>that's where he falls off the cliff. It's gen Z

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 4>this side of the gender gap. Women gen Z much

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 4>more progressive, much more liberal. We're gonna see this on

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 4>issue after issue than any other group any generation.

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 2>That was Steve Kornaki of NBC breaking down there polling yesterday.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Five major polls came out, as I mentioned, and there

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 2>was something there for everybody, depending on what story you

0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 2>want to spend on.

0:17:58.119 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Not really trying to spin a story.

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get into some of the more interesting ones

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>in my mind maybe an hour or two, but in

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>particular the stuff around young women. They are an outlier

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 2>from everybody else, right, young women?

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So interesting? You familiar with the documentary series seven up

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and fourteen twenty eight up where they interviewed British school

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>kids at age seven, right and then every seven years

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>sat right, every seven years for their life decades and decades. Yeah? Yeah,

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>just absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking and just as is most powerful. Yes,

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed one of the most powerful things ever put

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.479
<v Speaker 1>on film in my opinion. But anyway, it would be

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>so interesting. Let's start now this pocket. Is it a

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 1>generation I guess of young women who are wildly radicalized

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>and enthused about far leftist politics. Then I want to

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 1>see him interviewed every seven years as they go through life.

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Do they stay completely crazed and unhinged from reality? Do

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>they have a come to not Jesus but come to

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Madison moment in most of their lives where they realize, oh,

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Western civilization is a really good idea, or what I

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:24.120
<v Speaker 1>wonder how that'll go. They are a weird little ideological demographic.

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>As always need to point out. They didn't raise themselves, right,

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, it's the radical leftists who got hold

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.679
<v Speaker 1>of the teachers' colleges and then the education system, as

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm always ranting about. So speaking of leftists and that

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing, a CNN is a joke and I

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>can see that. But I've got some really interesting information

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>about the continuing erosion of people's perception of the media,

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and it starts with a CNN thing, and it was

0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>network anchor Abby Phillips, in total earnestness earnestness, last week,

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 1>said that the erosion of media credibility is driven by

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 1>right wing rhetoric. What, yes, exactly, it's just attacks from

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the right wing. Mass media are dying, said the CNN

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>guest and self appointed media authority Jeff Jarvis. The problem

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>is that right wing has taken advantage of the situation,

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I think quite cleverly, quite wisely, they've played it into

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a weakness. And wow, well that's hilarious.

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>So Fox years ago just you know, figures out, you know,

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 2>practically all media is left leaning. How about we present

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 2>something that's right reading, like, because I'm sure there's an

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 2>audience for.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>That, and that's taking advantage of a situation. Yeah. Well,

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Scott Jennings, the token conservative on CNN, said what situation?

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis says the situation of being under attack, and Jennings says,

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 1>what the right wing is taking advantage of is that

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the American people say enough is enough. They're tired of

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>another political coverage, tired of media institutions favoring one party

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>over the other, which is clearly true. And then Abby

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Phillips jumps in, a lot of this is driven by

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the rhetoric on your side of the aisle, and Jennings says,

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you think the drop in trust is driven by rhetoric

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and not the performance. Wow, absolutely, Philip said absolutely, which

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:24.479
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely hilarious. And then here's that answers a question

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I've had for a long time, at least for that person,

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.760
<v Speaker 1>do they know there is my or do they actually

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 1>think they're playing it down the middle? And apparently, at

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>least in that guy's case, they think they're playing it

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>down the middle, which is hilarious. So before I get

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>into some of the other numbers, I think this is

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 1>such a beautiful example. According to one of the Biden books,

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>that Biden was senile and everybody knew it books that

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 1>have come out recently, this one by Chris Whipple uncharted

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 1>how Trump beat Biden, Harrison the odds and the wildest

0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>campaign and history. According to longtime aid Ronan who would

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.400
<v Speaker 1>know eighty one year old Biden as they were trying

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to prep for the debates, was fatigued, be fuddled, and disengaged.

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>He wouldn't stop blabbering about NATO and quote how much

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>foreign leaders loved him. At one point, why Biden just

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>wandered off by the pool and fell asleep in a

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:21.160
<v Speaker 1>lounge chair. Claim started to debate, Claim started to worry

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the debate could turn into a nationally televised disaster it

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:29.919
<v Speaker 1>which it did. Here's what Caitlin Collins said just before

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the debate quote President Biden has spent days locked in

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>intense preparation, surrounded by his closest advisors at Camp David,

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and our sources are telling us that tonight that full

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>mock debates are underway at the podium underlights. He's even

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>watching tape, as I reported while covering him in the

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 1>White House. When Biden prepares, he does so incredibly intensively.

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, that is so beautiful. So let's take a

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>look at the data. Only eight percent of Americans report

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 1>having a great deal of trust and confidence in the

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>mass media. Eight percent have a great deal of confidence.

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>That's not good. It's well earned, but that's not good. Yeah,

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 1>if there's delight in my voice, then there is And

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I really need to take a long look at myself

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>from delighting over the fall of the mainstream media. It's

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>because awareness is good. You've got to fully identify a

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>problem before you you can cure it.

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, Like I've become a news Nation guy in the morning.

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I check them out too now and they're trying to

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 2>be not either Fox or MSNBC, and more than the slant,

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I notice just the lack of anger, and I got

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:50.480
<v Speaker 2>to admit it's weirdly boring. There's just like nobody's mad,

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>nobody's fired up about anything. They just give you the

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.360
<v Speaker 2>story and the fact that there's nobody there to say.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's why trump Zhitdler or that's why liberal those

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>are communists. I mean, without that element, it's just kind

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 2>of dry.

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know what to do about that. Wow,

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>what's in the line of the blind The one eyed

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>man is king in the time of hyperbole, the reasonable

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>man is ignored manly So eight percent have a great

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>deal of trust and confidence in the mass media when

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>eight percent thirty six percent more than quadruple, closing in

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 1>on quintuple, said they had no confidence at all. Not surprisingly,

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>distressed among Republicans had grown exponentially under President.

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think I'd be in the no confidence at

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>all category. Yeah, I've got no confidence at all in

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the mainstream media. Every single thing I hear. I fact

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>checked myself best I can.

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting. I'd have to think about that

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, just because I feel like I'm pretty

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>good at identifying bias and so I just rolled my

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 1>eyes and sad. Oh, that paragraph is completely crap. But okay,

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.399
<v Speaker 1>that's what actually happened. That paragraph's pretty good. I don't know.

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>More importantly, Oh so, the number of Republicans who have

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:12.879
<v Speaker 1>no trust at all is twenty seven percent. Was twenty

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>seven percent in twenty fifteen. It's now fifty nine percent. Wow,

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>no trust at all. Wow. Interestingly, it's all interesting. But

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the percentage of independence who say they have no confidence

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 1>in our press has surged from twenty seven percent in

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen to forty two percent in twenty twenty four

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:39.680
<v Speaker 1>No trust at all. I don't have like little or

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 1>some trust. It would take you long to look.

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Over, you know, to argue against your You'd have to

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:48.800
<v Speaker 2>think about it. You just lived through mainstream media pretending

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 2>the president wasn't senile.

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Four years of a completely.

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Made up Russian investigation where we're this close to Trump

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 2>being outed as a spy.

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what, yeah, yeah, maybe I'm just a giving

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and trusting soul. I've known certain people who were utter

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>liars and frauds and sheets in their lives. But if

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>they handed me a nice looking right banana and said, Joe,

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 1>this is a banana, I would believe that reporting on

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>me but inflation reduction act with a straight face. But overall, yes, overall,

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you're quite right, quite right. But remember Jack, the decline

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and trust is just because of right wing attacks. And

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>then I can't remember who wrote this in Taketoo. I'll

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.919
<v Speaker 1>look in a second. But do you suppose this is

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in any way the fault of the press, or is

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it as Philip suggests, it's that right wing rhetoric blah

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. The press's credibility crisis is of its own making.

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Everything from its botched cover of the lead up to

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the disastrous war in Iraq, which was you know, on

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a different side, it's abysmal handling of the COVID nineteen panics. Absolutely, oh,

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the canceling and silencing of anybody who dared tell well

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>what turned out to be true, absurd insistence Joe Biden

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 1>was in tip top shape, et cetera, et ceteras Jackie

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Jackie here where Jackie right right? And this is interesting too,

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>worth knowing. I mean, what's her name for CNN's an idiot,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't feel any need to argue against her.

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But the decline in trust predates Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:27.639
<v Speaker 1>It actually dates back to the Nixon administration. In nineteen

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>seventy two, the percentage of respondents who had a great

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:33.640
<v Speaker 1>deal of fair amount of confidence in the mass media

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 1>was seventy percent, and it's dropped thirty seven points.

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not good, no, but it is you can create

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a media that people would trust. I just don't know

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>if there's an audience anymore that wants it. Like I

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 2>was saying about how the strange blandness of watching a

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 2>news channel where nobody's angry.

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, or particularly well you might even say where

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody's particularly enthusiastic about one idea or ou one narrative

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:14.159
<v Speaker 1>or another. Yeah, and you, if you were to build

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>media that is trusted now, it would be very different

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>than the media that was trusted in nineteen seventy two. Sure,

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it would have to be polarized, I'd think, Yeah. I mean,

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're the sort of media you're talking about, you're

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, forty percent of the Democratic Party that's insanely left.

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 1>They would never trust that outlet.

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Sure, we mentioned last week the guy who runs sixty

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>minutes is leaving just they've only had three people run

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the thing since it started before we were born.

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 1>But he's still there.

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if you did you see story

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 2>number two on sixty minutes last night about nine to eleven?

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Was that interesting? That was like an old fashioned sixty minutes?

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.920
<v Speaker 2>How could this be? Crew really didn't have a political

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 2>angle story. We'll have to talk about later about video

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>from nine to eleven that is emerged that the the.

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>FBI never saw, CIA never saw.

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like, what, how is this even possible? Really good story,

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into.

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 1>That, l Well, what was the angle are you pitching

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the inside job there, Candae Owens are on, Uh, well,

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you explain it. I don't know

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 1>how you explain it.

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do a brief version of it

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 2>because it'll be confusing. But maybe i'll bring that up

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 2>an hour two and we'll play a little bit of

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that for you.

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear Scott Pelley did an editorial at the

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>end of it. No, a parent company, Paramount has put

0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>pressure on sixty minutes. No, I did not. I want

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to hear that. I don't know that yet.

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 2>We've got the audio. Okay, we'll get into that whole conversation.

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe's got mail bag coming up in a bunch of stuff.

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Stay here.

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 2>No more I read about it, the more I think,

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 2>unless there's for some reason or reversal in the whole

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>tariff thing, like Trump changes his mind, says, you know,

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 2>claims victory in a variety of fronts and ends it,

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 2>or the Supreme Court steps in and says you're not

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 2>allowed to do that. If they continue, it's about to

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 2>be the only story in America. I think, like, yes,

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the only thing every day. Yeah, like soon within a week.

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe aren't those the economic growth numbers out to do

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>out this week. Yes, thirtieth last day of April, right right, yeah, okay,

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days Wednesday, all right, something to look

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>forward to. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>from John F. Kennedy. I love this. This ought to

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>be chiseled into the rock facades of the so called

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 1>elite universities. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 1>enemy of growth. Yeah, damn sheep, kafia ware and hamas

0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 1>support and stupid little sheep. Wow, that was not as

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>eloquit as Kennedy, but it's a good freedom love me quote.

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I love the conformity is the jailer of freedom and

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the enemy of growth.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 2>You should have had your dad write you a more

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:12.959
<v Speaker 2>literate sentence to get me into Harvard. Here's here's your

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 2>mail bag. Your mail bag at Armstrong and Geeddy dot

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 2>com as the email address. Drop us a line now

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 2>and again.

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, guys, listening to your bit about what can destroy

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>marriage contempt? Right, I realized you helped us understand Trump

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>derangement syndrome. Simply contempt. There's nothing he could conceivably do

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that you would concede. Oh, that went pretty well. In

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the same way that if you've come to have contempt

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 1>for your spouse or partner, you won't say, you know,

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>he has a really good sense of humor. You can't

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>bring yourself to say that. Right. That's a good point. Yeah,

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>well said there, Brian. Also, a lot of the interaction

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>between parties is simply contempt, and there's no way to

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 1>get through to those that have gone too far down

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that road. Brian, and walla wallah, well done. Sir Jack

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>is right about the next part, Hope, writes Todd and

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>san Diego. When he expressed a preference for an African

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 1>pope to succeed Pope Francis, he spoke a bigger mouthful

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>than he probably realized. Not only would an African pope

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>call attention to the sufferings of the people on that continent,

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>as you pointed out, Jacket, would also be consequential in

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>two other ways. One, Africa is the front line in

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the battle between Islamism and civilization, and this battle would

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>receive more of the attention it deserves from the world

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:29.000
<v Speaker 1>if an African bishop became pope. That's a really good point, Ton. Two,

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Africa is the present and future of vigorous high doctrine Christianity,

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in sharp contrast with the woke shell of empty churches

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and progressivized cliches that passed for the church in Europe.

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Anyone who wants traditional religions to hold onto their traditions

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:46.760
<v Speaker 1>instead of becoming secularized NGOs should be rooting for one

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of Africa's conservative cardinals to become the next pope. Wow,

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that's some great analysis, Todd. You want to become our

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>religion correspondent.

0:32:56.360 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll have on you every time a pope dies, so

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't quit your other job since it's probably once

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 2>every twenty years. Conclave starts this week and they'll start

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 2>picking a pope.

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess a bunch of pope pickers. Ps. He writes, Hey,

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he's on a heater. Let's keep going with this. Ps.

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>One of the top contenders is Jerusalem's Cardinal Pierre Baptista

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Piete Sabella. Yes, his name is Pete Sabella. It would

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>be great to see him get elected and choose the

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>name John the twenty four so everyone would call him

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Papa John. You know what, Todd, maybe I should have

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>stopped after your second. Yeah, let's see. Here's the thought

0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>provoking note from Rick. Let's see, he was talking about

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 1>how last week we talked to Josh Hoover, California State Assemblyman,

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>very reasonable guy, solid conservative, and he was talking about

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>at least one member of the state legislature during a

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 1>recent hearing made reference to the possibility of passing any

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>type of legislation to ban men and women's sports as

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>going down the road to becoming Nazis. And he says, Joe,

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you responded to him by saying, we need a universally

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>agreed upon phrase to describe this phenomenon, this sort of

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 1>argument that divides us distinctly into this binary perception that

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.279
<v Speaker 1>there is only good and evil. Well, the word is Manichean,

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>but nobody uses that word, the idea being you're either

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>completely good or completely evil. There's no truth to both sides,

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. But he says, I don't have

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a specific word, and I couldn't find anything, but as

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a suggestion, I offer a HICCK. An acronym HICCK would

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be defined as it's an hic hyperbolic incendiary characterization designed

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to as certain moral authority, thereby canceling any discussion or

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 1>attempts at resolving a dissension. Of opinion. You can use

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 1>it as a noun. You have no argument. All you

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 1>can do is make hicks proverb. See, you're hiccking away

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 1>just because you're unwilling to approach this from anyone else's viewpoint,

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 1>where descriptive down Maxine Waters is a career hicco fan. Well,

0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 1>let's see if that catches on. I love it, well done, Rick,

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 1>So I want.

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>To get into some of those poll numbers, all the

0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 2>big polls that came out over the weekend, one particular aspect,

0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 2>in particular, check in on sixty minutes.

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Some interesting stuff.

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Happened in that world last night, including that story about

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 2>nine to eleven if you didn't see it, among other things.

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:28.400
