WEBVTT - I'm Working On Trimming My Ass 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.640 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.520 Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty arm Strong and jet Katy 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:22.440 and he arm Strong and Jetty. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.680 I think one of the biggest mistakes, maybe the biggest 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.120 through line of all for the way Biden's have been 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.560 covered is the Bidens, it has regularly said, are good family, 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.040 They're decent people, and I'm not here to tell you 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.280 they're worse than the Trumps or worse than Nixon. But 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.800 I'm here to tell you that the mythology that the 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.520 Bidens are good people who don't lie is not born 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.160 out by the facts, and that's increasingly front and center 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.200 and sharp relief this week. We know that they didn't 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.440 tell the truth about Biden inc We know that we 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.560 know the president and the debate in twenty twenty against 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.960 Donald Trump did not tell the truth when asked about 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.840 Hunter's business. I'm not here to sit in moral judgment 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.840 of them. I'm not here again to tell you that 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.320 Joe Biden is a bigger liar by some metrics than 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.760 Donald Trump. What I am here to tell you again 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.120 is this has been a horrible mistake on the part 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.440 of the media to treat the Bidens like they walk 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:12.880 on water. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.559 That's Mark Alpern on his TV show last night. And 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.640 it's not a TV show I called a TV show. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.680 It's on video. It's on YouTube or something. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:27.720 But there is a possibility that Biden will emerge after 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.120 Trump derangement syndrome has faded in the year's fade and 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.280 all that sort of stuff. I mean, he's already not 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.040 well respected or liked by anybody. He could end up 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.679 a very tail end of the list of presidents. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:43.480 I'd be shocked if he wasn't. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.000 And he's got no room for rehabilitation like Nixon did, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.160 who like went back up after Watergate because enough people 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.000 respected his you know, political shops, foreign policy shops, a 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.120 number of different things. Biden has got nowhere to go 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.560 but down. I think the more people learn about. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.240 Him, I would agree. I think he was a miserable 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.760 wreck as a president. And I'm here to tell you 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.080 I can name a couple of Democrats. They did stuff 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.120 I didn't love, but like Clinton, Clinton will rise as 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.520 sure years go by in the estimation of how good 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.160 a president he was. He was. You know, he was 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.600 forced into it, but he was He was a bridge builder, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:25.040 a maker of coalitions, a compromiser, a triangulator in a. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.440 Way that got a hell of a lot done. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:33.000 And he shrunk the welfare state, friends, which the Republican 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.880 Congress is unwilling to do right now. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.400 Some are trying even without getting into policies you agree 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.160 with or not or whatever. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.920 Biden was. Biden is a complete fabrication. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.320 He just had a you know, Trump gets a lot 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:56.000 of credit slash discredit for being such a salesman. That's 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.720 what That's the only thing Biden had was gland having 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:05.320 salesman vibe. Yeah, he was not particularly smart. His judgment 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:10.600 was horrible. His whole life, he lied constantly. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.400 About things you don't need to lie about. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.000 You don't need to claim you're a truck driver or 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.160 all these different things. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:17.480 Then arrested. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:22.799 It just full scholarship and then to hang on when 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.639 you're dementia rid. In course, a lot of that's on 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.840 jail because he was, you know, his brain didn't work. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.560 But he what a disaster. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:36.240 Yeah, and hey, media, congratulations uncovering up for that guy. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.720 For all those years. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.800 They had the capacity for shame or introspection, they would 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.840 be just devastated, but they don't so they'll be fine. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.200 But but but it is amazing Biden was able to 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.600 build that brand that held on until fairly recently. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.560 My word is a Biden of just being, you know. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:02.240 A decent, honest god, the deepest, decent, honest family. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.320 And Mark Halprin, whose dad was friends with Joe Biden. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.560 By the way, Mark Halprin here to tell you no, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.560 the whole family, they lie, their crooks, they'll say anything 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.000 to get ahead, and have always been that way. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:28.560 Correct, wild, miserable domestic policy, indefensible, miserable, indecisive foreign policy, 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.839 projecting weakness around the globe with very few exceptions, and 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.320 then just a Biden ink thing don't And how about 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.279 the damn border? If he had been like four stars 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.400 out of four on everything else and had thrown the 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.840 border open of millions of people God knows who they 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.840 are like he did, while all the while claiming the 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:53.520 border was secure, which is it's astounding it actually happened anyway, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.720 that would be enough to indict his presidency. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.480 What a miserable wreck. And then presidency the. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.840 Biden inc thing with put in your kid, having your 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.400 kid on the board of these companies and other countries 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.760 and you're making all this money and they so they 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.559 can get access to you and the phone. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.359 I mean, just it's unbelievable. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.040 Yeah, a lot of the stuff the Trump family's doing 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.360 right now makes me really uncomfortable on that score too. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.000 I'm gonna be honest. But anyway, we're not talking about 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.839 Trump now, we fill in the future. Yeah, yeah, and 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:28.359 go ahead investigate that. To Halprin's point is the media 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.800 can't hold Trump accountable for anybody because they've lost all credibility, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.920 and they rightfully have lost all credibility. Why would we 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:43.280 believe anything you ever say, media, mainstream media after Hunter 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.480 biden laptop or pretending Joe Biden's fine until you had 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.479 no choice, just all these different things. There is a 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.800 reason they are the lowest rated institution in America for 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.560 trust they have. They have reaped precisely what they sold. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.400 Absolutely earned it. They put in the effort. They you know, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.640 they rolled up their sleeves, they laid the groundwork, step 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.200 by step, earned their eight percent approval rating, and to 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.839 their credit, they hung in there when things were tough, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.840 like when two hundred and forty American two hundred and 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.760 forty million Americans were screaming Joe Biden's senile. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.560 They hung in there and they denied it. Right. I 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.120 love profile and courage. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.520 I loved the counterfactuals people threw out of What if 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.480 Joe Biden had debated. That's still not an answered question either. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.400 Whose idea was that? Who pushed him into that? Why 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.200 did he agree to a bit? He asked for it? 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:40.520 You remember with the heavily edited video Anytime Anywhere, You 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.360 know that he challenged Trump to abate because everybody was 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.680 wondering Willie debate, And he did, and he did it 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.200 really early, which allowed enough time for the old switcher 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.840 roof it did. But that's not it's not completely it's 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.239 not in Taper Tapper's book. It's not completely known whose 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.240 idea that was. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.240 That couldn't have been Jill's idea, I thought I read somewhere. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.560 I'm pretty sure it was Donalin, according to somebody, his 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.840 campaign advisor and polster, who thought, we get the whispers 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.080 are getting very very. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.760 Loud about he's senile. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:16.040 Just to summarize it, we need to go now early, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.520 a before he gets worse, and b to give herself 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.880 a little time if if we need options later. But 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.240 the thinking was, I don't want to wait two months 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.960 to trot him out on a stage. Let's get him 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:29.640 out there now. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.800 Well maybe since they were all deluding themselves, maybe they 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.080 thought he'll go out there, he'll perform fairly well, like 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.760 he did at the State of the Union or whatever, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.520 and then everybody will shut up about his brain until 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.800 we get through this damned election. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.680 I'm sorry, I'm just real quick. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.160 I was reading about somebody mentioning the State of the 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:52.400 Union yesterday and how immediately I came in the next 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:57.160 day and I said, that was a coked up old 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:03.960 man yelling his way through a teleprompter speech. Why pressure, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.160 Why is everybody in the media saying he set the 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.320 concerns to rest last night with a really forceful speech, Jim, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.320 I mean, he was a man in command. Anybody who 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:22.640 is either being honest or doesn't delude themselves would have 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.720 said that was just weird. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.320 Right, But he didn't stand there slack jawed, glassy eyed, 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.000 like he didn't know where he was like he did 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:32.600 in the debate. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:40.079 Right, what's nonsense? Yeah, I watched, I watched Michael. You 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.320 gotta give me my favorite. If you gotta play those clips, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.040 which one's your favorite? 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.000 What did you mess with the American woman? And you 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.720 gotta get it. Don't mess with them in w unless 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.280 you want to get the best. Yeah, mark my words. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.480 I watched clips from the debate, which I hadn't seen 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:03.560 in a long time. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.000 Oh my god. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.400 Trump's talking and he's standing with his mouth kind of 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:15.160 hanging open sideways, and his eyes indicate he's just completely 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:15.880 checked out. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.680 Yeah, and he looks like a cadaver. His skin tone 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.120 was just cadavers. Yeah. That first what was it five minutes? 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:25.640 Ten minutes? 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.480 The verbal gaffs were so egregious. People don't talk now 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.400 about the nonverbal issues like you're mentioning. He stood there 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.160 looking like a guy waiting for the end in a 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:41.080 retirement home. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:41.440 Man. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.200 Trump handled it masterfully, too. He just let all that 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.120 hang there. The one time he said, I don't know what. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.680 He just said. I don't think he knows what he 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:51.160 said either. 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.560 Other than that, he just let it hang out there, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.920 which was a good idea, right he understood. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.600 As a guy who's produced TV shows, he knew, oh 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.160 this is over. Uh uh. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.559 I had one more point on that. Oh the other craziness. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:12.200 You said, you read something somewhere about this, but I 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.880 still don't understand it. Why were they putting fake poles 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.920 in front of him so he thought he was ahead 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.880 when they never had one pole ever. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.480 Where Biden was winning. Why. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:29.560 I think the insiders sense that if they admitted the truth, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:31.440 he'd quit Biden. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.359 Biden would quit, really. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.160 He would get out, he would signal that he wasn't 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.080 super confident, and then the polo season shumers would move 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.640 in and they wanted to hang under their own seat, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.640 close to the seat of it. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:46.280 I want to know. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.000 I want to know if Jill had a role. I 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.600 want to know if she had a role in the 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:52.560 polls she said. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.520 I would be shocked if she did not, because I 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.599 could see her. Remember, remember it came out and I 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.640 don't know if Tapper. You know what, we got to 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.680 quit calling a Tappers book because Alex what's his land 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.000 Thomas name, Alex Thompson. I'll bet he wrote every damn 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.320 word of it. They just put Jake Tapper's name on 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:15.079 it because they wanted a celeb anyway. I remember hearing 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:21.600 repeatedly that aids were told, or visitors or congress people 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.560 or whatever were told, don't give him any bad news, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.240 which is a bizarre thing to do, because that's a 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.880 bizarre instruction to give somebody meeting with the president. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.680 Because it would set him off emotionally. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.680 I don't know, or they were trying to build this 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.360 fantasy land for the poor senile old man. They were 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.679 literally gaslighting him that everything was going great for whatever reason. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.520 We were just speculating about. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.880 That might be fine if he wasn't gonna run again, 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.080 and you know, you're just waiting out the term. Why 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.040 give him bad news, you know, or something like that. 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.320 But I would think if you actually wanted to win, 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.160 you'd say, look, we're losing, so we need to change 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.439 our message, and this is why we need to focus 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.760 on you know, Michigan or whatever. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:07.400 As opposed to say we're winning. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.760 We're winning. And then he sits down with several interviews. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.480 What's his name from NBC who just quit? 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:14.560 What's his name? 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.800 I remember watching that interview when we were at the convention, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.200 and he sat there with. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.960 Why can't I think of his name the NBC. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.360 Nightly News or CBS Lester Holt. No, yeah, Lester hole 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.640 that's NBC and said when he sat down with Lester. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.040 Holt and said I'm leading in the polls, I'm winning Jack, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:33.680 And I was like, what. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.719 So my theory was the reason they kept him in 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.360 the dark like that and shined him on was that 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.960 they wanted him out of the way. They just wanted 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.640 him to sit there smiling and eating his cello. But 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.680 you pointing out that they sent him to do interviews 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.440 like that, that contradicts my theory. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.199 So no, I don't quite get it. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.440 If you have any great theory, mail bag at Armstrong 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.199 egeddy dot com, drop us an email or Texas four 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.000 one five two nine five kfts. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.760 I'm still reading the book again, which is hilarious. It's 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.560 you describing to us something that you should have known 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.400 and acting like it's a surprise. But there was after 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.160 one of his press conferences where he hung around kind 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.040 of long and got himself into trouble. Biden did answered 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.440 some questions, looked confused. Jill went nuts when they all 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.559 went So after the press conference, everybody goes back into 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.360 a room to like have a post discussion, you know, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.360 like a post game, you know, rehash of how did 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:29.600 it go. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.200 She walked in there to whose fault is this? Who 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.800 allowed that to go on? Who didn't shut it down? 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.200 And I mean she was hot, and as you mentioned earlier, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.280 that one handlered dude of hers, whatever his name was, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.079 he had the power to get people booted out if 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:49.040 if she was unhappy, he would acts people. So you 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:50.520 didn't want to get on the wrong side of her. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.119 But she was the one that got angry. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.439 About this stuff. Yeah, yeah, I can't wait till the 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:03.280 full stories written on her. Anthony Bernall her top eight name. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.160 I don't know if I'd ever heard of before, but 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.760 he was a powerful, powerful guy inside the White House, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:08.640 no doubt about it. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.439 We got more on the way again. What's your theory? 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.680 Why did they lie to him about the polls? Whose 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.600 advantage of that was? 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:14.080 Uh? 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:20.160 Text line four one five two nine five kftc arm Strong, Hey, Yedie. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.720 We do have some breaking news this morning.

I was just 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.960 gonna say that was my move. If you could somehow 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.080 make that happen. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.840 She goes into labor on the air, You give birth 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.240 on the air, you got it. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.880 But the whole Yeah, I'll stick around through weather, in traffic, 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.880 and I'm gonna I'm good. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.480 I'm trying to figure out if this woman has any 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.360 other kids, because that does not seem like a first Okay, yeah, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.600 it's like her sixth kid. To say, she said she 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.240 was way too calm for that if she was the 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:27.760 first time. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.520 If it's her sixth kid, that kid's gonna come like 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.840 an eighth eight year old sliding on a slide in 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:33.240 a park. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.520 You are right, though, that has not your first kid, vibes, Yeah, 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.720 based on my experience. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.560 Yes, yeah. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.800 Well, and she's CBS New York too, so she's like 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.800 one step away from the big big chair, so she's 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:48.560 thinking labor. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:55.080 Maybor I could have Pelly's job.

I've heard a number of sounds. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.760 Actually I almost missed Sam because I was over at 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.720 the Jama Juice, so I didn't hear all the sounds. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.840 But there was there's the hospital where I was born 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.760 back in the day. There was a bar across the 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.400 street called the Waiting Room. Oh cool, and it had 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.760 a red phone on the wall that was connected to 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.280 the hospital so all the dads could get that phone. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:32.400 That is awesome. Wow. Wow, Now that's that's marketing. Love it. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.000 I needed that the jumba. I was told I had 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.360 plenty of time, so I went to the Duma Juice 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:39.920 and I got back. I damn near missed it because 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:44.200 they were wrong lying lying nurses when you need a job, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.920 but you need a jump exactly. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.000 I was getting erasmataz. I needed a shrubbery whorl spellble 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.000 to you. Wow. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.600 So the big beautiful bill passed last night. I suppose 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.600 we ought to touch on what's in that and what's not. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.040 Some of the things horrify me. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.560 Plus speaking of being horrified, I'm disappointed by a Supreme 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.119 Court ruling that just came out. It's not bad, but 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:06.520 it's not. 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.800 Great, you know, And it's going to go to the Senate, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.240 and who knows what it's got? Whoop there he goes, Yeah, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:15.159 who knows, we got. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.040 More on the way, Stay. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.840 Armstrong and getty. 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.960 Republicans pulled an all nighter to get this done, with 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.600 last minute deal making to win over a group of holdouts. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.760 That bill passed two fifteen to fourteen one. The two 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.240 gop knows Thomas Massey, Warren Davidson, Andy Harris, who is 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.000 House Freedom Caucus chairman, voted present. So Republicans in blue 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.520 states got a bigger salt detuction, that is, the state 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.879 and local tax insuction cap went from ten thousand to 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:47.040 forty thousand. Fiscal conservatives one on work requirements to Medicaid 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.200 they will start earlier twenty twenty six. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:50.200 And in the end. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.480 Bill most of these holdouts gave. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:18:00.119 It play play Speaker Johnson there and his explanation what 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:00.920 happened overnight. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:02.159 Everybody's conservative. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.080 We believe in limited government, and we believe in individual 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.600 freedom and the rule of law and peace through strength 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.440 and fis responsibility and free markets and human dignity. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.120 The things that are all wrapped into this bill. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.639 You believe in fiscal responsibility, all right, all of you, 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:21.000 We all do. Evidently he believes the First Amendment also 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.560 protected bull crap as speech, because that was some But 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.359 Mike Johnson will probably say. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:33.000 To you, dude, you can't sell fiscal responsibility. Nobody wants it. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.800 If we went hardcore at the waste, fraud and abuse 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.320 in medicaid, we'd lose the next election. We wouldn't get 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.640 anything done that you like, so shut up, and he'd 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.040 probably be right, you do. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.040 That's disappointing. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.600 You do mostly get the government you deserve, and we 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:54.560 want the American people want. George Well has been saying 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.120 this since I was in my twenties. I remember watching 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.560 him on like Your ABC this week when it used 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:05.000 to be him, Kochie Roberts and Sam Donaldson sitting around 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.560 the table way back in the day, and George will say, 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:15.880 people talk about polarization in Washington, d C. No, there 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.480 is great agreement in this town. There's almost entirely agreement 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.879 in this town. The agreement is that we want a 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.760 dollar eighty worth of government for the price of a dollar. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.600 Because both parties do it over and over and over again. 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.240 No matter what happens, we want a dollars eighty worth 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.639 of government services, but we only want to pay a 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:36.320 dollar for it. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:46.399 Yeah, I'm torn. The Patreon in me says, keep yelling 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.080 about this stuff, no matter if there are votes or not, 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:56.240 because it will at least less than the damage or 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.760 the race toward insolvency, or someday the world will come around. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.080 And as Tom mcclintocky has said to us, no, you 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.199 don't abandon your principles just because nobody else seems to 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.560 be with you, because when the world comes around to them, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.200 how are you gonna feel then. But at the same time, 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.119 in terms of electoral politics or like, if our job 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:20.000 here was to get Republicans elected because it's better than Democrats, 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.320 I mean, that's not our job. We just try to 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.560 describe the world to you and tell you what we think. 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.320 But if our job was purely to get Republicans elected, 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.679 I could see making the case that, hey, leave the 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.800 negative stuff out, claim it was fiscally responsible, claim it's 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.800 way better than Biden would passed, which is unquestionably true, 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.960 and forget your stupid little principles. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.840 That's what the Fox reporter said, and blue state Republicans 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:51.440 got a win, and that they got the salt deductions raised. Yeah, 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.480 there's like three of them, and all the rest of 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.640 us in the entire country got screwed by it. 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:58.120 Don't present that as a win. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.879 Meanwhile, if you have a kid or a grandchild, or 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.600 you are just the decent sort of person who plants 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.479 oaks so that you know future generations can enjoy the shade, 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.520 you understand that we're spending our. 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:11.760
