My pillow dot Com promo coach on 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.319 I glad you with us on this Friday. A lot 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.640 of news breaking out now. By the way, Rick Gates 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.160 has pled guilty in his case against the Special Counsel, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.360 and no people always want to read into what these 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.000 guilty please are. I'm gonna tell you half of it. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.520 Half of it is you've got a choice. You go 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:27.560 for the really easy okay, not so bad. Maybe facing 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.479 a year in prison or thirty years in life. It's 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.680 gonna go on six or seven years of your life. 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.440 You're gonna pay a fortune even if you think you're innocent. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.399 It's not as cut and dry as everybody always thinks. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.400 But yeah, I know the media thinks this is the 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.319 biggest deal ever, and that's probably all you'll hear about. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.880 Most people don't even know who Rick Gates is, which 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.760 is fairly amazing. Uh, we have some good news for 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.360 the president today. We'll tell you about that. We have 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.880 a lot of really big nuggets, is the way I 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.360 would explain development as it relates to deep state, Gaate, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.560 Obama Gate, whatever term you preferred to use. Um, we 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.280 have a lot of new information as it relates to 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.280 the Florida shooter and in this case, and signs that 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.880 were missed that we're gonna get to. The President announces 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.840 today some the toughest sanctions ever against North Korea, gave 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.560 a great speech at Seedpact. He seemed like he was 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.639 just having I don't think it or remember where he's 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.160 gone an hour and fifteen minutes like he did today. Well, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.919 we're actually gonna air part of it coming up later 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.240 in the program. Let you hear it yourself in case 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.160 you might have missed all of that. Um. You know, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.720 this will drive the media nuts. The media has tried 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.960 everything they could possibly do, um too to bring this 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.680 president down to really the word is well this credit, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.839 I don't know, sabotage. They don't want him to be successful. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.960 There's his success is bad for people on the left. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.440 If Donald Trump is successful and getting people back to work, 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:10.720 making America more secure, if making America energy independent, protecting 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.920 on board, if he's successful. Thing about this from the standpoint, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.760 if you're a liberal and you want power more than 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.040 anything else, why would you want the president to succeed. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.280 The president succeeds, the country succeeds. That means an entire 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:28.080 generation now of people will realize that that his brand 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.720 of conservatism works. And that's not good for those that 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.320 prefer to be in power at all times. Is something 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.680 intoxicating about power, and these guys want to be empowered 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.320 at all times, and they think they deserve power. They 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.600 think they know better. Anyway, thirteen months now into the 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.080 Trump president, so you've got a brand new gallipole showing 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.840 the American people are feeling great again. Now do you 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.840 think one of the biggest hallmarks of Ronald Reagan's presidency 0:03:54.480 --> 0:04:01.600 is America began to feel good about itself? Um, and 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.400 that is that that is no small feat, you know, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.080 if you think when I said all during the election 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.880 year in thirty million more Americans in on food stamps, 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.800 eight million more in poverty, worst recovery since the forties, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.440 lowest labor participation rate since the seventies, lowest home ownership 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.960 right fifty one years, doubling our debt on and on 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.159 and on. You think about that, it's it's it's demoralizing 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.919 of points. If everything Obama wanted to bring to the 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.560 country and thought his radical and doctrination of acorn O Lynsky, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:40.919 Frank Marshall Davis, Reverend right black liberation theology airs endored, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:45.040 it never works. It never has worked. And it's almost 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.719 the same principle after four years that Jimmy Carter, America 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.920 was sick and tired of, you know, interest rates, double 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.080 digit inflation, out of control, you know, the the debt, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.960 the moral of the country was just beginning to sink 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.880 and p poll in this election, the forgotten men and 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.080 forgotten women. Now we've got two point seven million new 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:09.960 jobs created. We've got the lowest unemployment level for African 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.160 Americans Hispanic Americans since we've been keeping the data. I mean, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.560 we have virtually full employment in the country, two million 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.680 fewer people on food stamps depending on government. And that's 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.760 a good thing. So as a result of Americans now 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.400 are satisfied with the position of the United States in 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.960 the world. That's a thirteen year high, a thirteen percentage 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.240 point increased from just a year ago. Just after President 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.640 Trump took office and the public is also more likely 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.120 than they were a year ago to think that the 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.560 US rates favorably in the eyes of the rest of 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.400 the world. And Americans are now more likely to be 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.919 satisfied with the United States and their position in the 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.839 world that at any point in the Obama presidency, according 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.920 to Gallop. Now for Democrats that are predicting to satisfied 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.240 Americans are going to retaliate against the geop in the 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:06.440 mid terms. Well, the results don't bode extraordinarily. Well, think 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.960 Trump is respected by other world leaders. A majority of 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.640 americanscent believe the world rates the US favorably. So you know, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.919 the high satisfaction rate, I think, well, we'll see. You 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.840 know one thing that is going to be probably the 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.200 biggest factor in this campaign. Do you want Nancy Pelosi 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.400 as your speaker? Do you want Chuck Schumer running the Senate? 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.440 And the one thing the Democrats have going against them 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.480 is they stand for nothing. The only thing they stood 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.159 for is what Obama gave us for eight years, and 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.480 they were complicit in that American decline for that period. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:45.760 And if you want to go back to that, I 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.440 know there's an evan flow to political cycles. Then we'll 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.240 get the government that we deserve at that point. But 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.359 I think it's you know, it's too early to tell. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.600 One other poll out today, the rasp MUSE and Presidential 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.680 Tracking poll shows the pent A likely US voters approve 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.520 of the president's job performance. That's the president's highest job 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.640 approval ratings since mid June of last year, and Obama 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.640 earned approval rating at this time and his presidency in 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.880 the second year of his presidency. So obviously some things 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.040 have changed there. And you know, one thing I think 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.480 um might be happening, Just an observation I have is 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.920 I think people now are kind of getting Donald Trump. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.640 They're getting the rhythm of Donald Trump. And as as 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.960 the media feigns more shock, indignation and outrage every day, 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.600 I mean, they just try and outdo their outrage. He's 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.880 not no no, no, he's super nuts. No no, no, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.800 he's demented nuts no no, no, no, he's no. I 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.640 think what the American people see is somebody that rolls 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.880 off up his sleeves and goes out to fight for 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.360 what he believes it and he fights hard, and he 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.200 doesn't like losing, and he doesn't want America to lose. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.040 And so far, the things that he's been able to accomplish, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.720 especially as it goes government regulation, and we are now 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.000 he is freed up America to now become energy independent. 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.960 He did keep his promise. He did put a conservative 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.720 on the Supreme Court. You know, you add that to 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:17.040 all these businesses. Because of the less burdensome regulation and 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.920 the and the better tax code, this is a better country, 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.800 is a better business environment. That's why people are getting hired. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.320 That's why companies are staying. That's why car companies, manufacturing 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.360 is coming back. That's why big companies are pledging millions 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.760 and billions to be spent inside this country. And that 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.760 is that is good for all of us. And the 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.880 idea that well, we'll have the highest corporate tax rate 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.120 in the industrialized world, it's it's the dumbest thing ever, 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:49.200 because corporations don't pay taxes. You pay the corporate taxes. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.200 They just add the cost into the bottom line and 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.280 we end up paying anyway, we end up getting screwed. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.600 So we're now in the most competitive range. And especially 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:05.160 the low repatriation of trillions potentially from overseas that have 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.360 been parked that nobody would ever dare you know, bring 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.240 back to this country because of the tax policies. It's 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.760 all good for us. And don't we want to see 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.400 you know, if you're worried about money for schools so 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:22.120 that we can put in retired um, retired military concealed permit, 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.640 retired police concealed permit and protect our kids, will maybe this, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:31.240 this wealth creation and job creation is gonna give school 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.280 districts a little bit more money so that they can 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.080 do the very thing that they need to do, which 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:39.319 is protect our our students. You know, the Washington I 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.320 went through a number of different places and I got 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.040 some information that nobody else in the media. I think 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.560 we'll tell you about. You have the Washington Post, Washington Times, 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.480 Fox News, the Crime Prevention Research Center, you know, and 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.440 I know the media doesn't like the president's idea of 0:09:54.440 --> 0:10:01.320 allowing qualified teachers. Only those that would like tovoluntarily carry 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.120 firearms with them. Only those that are trained want to 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.240 do it. It's not anybody else with teachers I think 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.839 would probably rather teach and not have to worry about 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.679 these things. That's why I prefer my plan, which is full, 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:19.480 complete security checklist and and full evaluation of every school 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.480 in the country, and a threat assessment of every school. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.680 Then you secure the perimeter, you secure the points of entry, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.640 you secure at least have one armed retired police military 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.439 on every floor and available if God forbid, something happens, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.439 and you have an I D system to let the 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.880 kids in, and then you have nobody gets in that 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.760 doesn't belong there. And on top of that, you have 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.000 at least a front line of defense because most shootings 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.440 are over in three minutes. Anyway, all these different groups. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.319 As I look through the information that they put out, 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.920 there's a lot of good information, And it really doesn't 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.480 matter what the media thinks. There are facts. You know, 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.920 the media say if a teacher tried to stop a 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.000 school shooter with his own gun, it would only create 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.240 chaos and probably end up killing even more children. I 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.920 love how they just make these things up. Well, there's 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.240 quite a track record actually of armed civilians, in other words, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:12.000 average men and women acting voluntarily who made the decision 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.160 to be trained and carry firearms, who have actually foiled 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.600 mass shooters and saved countless lives. Now, it's happened in schools, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.280 it's happened in churches. It's happened in malls, that's happened 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.000 in restaurants dozens of times over the last few decades, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.640 and in no case I could find did any innocent 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:35.040 bystander get shot by a good guy who was with 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.160 a gun trying to stop a massacre? For example, the 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.760 Washington Post they had a story in student eye witnesses 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.400 and shooting victims at Pearl High School at at the 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.560 rampage used phrases like unreal, like a horror movie, as 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.760 they testified Wednesday about seeing Luke Woodham methodically point his 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.280 dear rifle at them and pull the trigger at least 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:02.720 six times. Assistant Principal Joel Myrick heard the initial shot. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.520 He watched Woodham choosing his victims, and when Wouldham appeared 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.600 to be headed for a science wing where early classes 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.120 were already underway, Myrick ran up, ran to his pickup 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.080 truck truck, grabbed his forty five caliber pistol. I had 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.559 my pistol sights on him. I could see the whites 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.360 of his knuckles, he said. He reached into the car, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.400 he opened the driver's side door. He ordered Wouldham to 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.080 lie on the ground. I put my foot on his 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.800 back area and pointed my pistol right at him. He 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.800 couldn't bring it into the school because it was a 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.360 gun free school zone. Washington Post tells a story April 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.000 Andrew Worst, fourteen, charged with fatally shooting John Gillette, forty eight, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.440 as science teacher at James Parker Middle School, as Gillette 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.240 was chaperoning a prom for eighth graders in his eighth 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:56.080 grade class. Anyway, after Worst shot Gillette in the head, 0:12:56.120 --> 0:13:00.000 police said that the teenager entered the banquet hall where 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.200 is dressed up schoolmates were all dancing. He shot and 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.520 wounded to other students and another teacher, and police said 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.320 he began to flee from the hall and as the 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.880 two fifty kids and teachers ran for cover, the owner 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.520 of the hall, guy by the name of James Strand, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.880 he grabbed a shotgun and he followed this guy out 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.560 the door. He caught up with him, held him until 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.760 authorities arrived. Was that bad? Now? That would be a 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.800 good thing. And there's another case in Colorado Springs, same things, 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.320 another case in California, same thing. I can give you 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.680 one example after another. The media will never give you 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:39.199 these examples. That's why I asked a simple question, if 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.520 you're ever God forbid and a in some type of 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.640 of public building, and God forbid of shooting breaks out. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:51.000 Would you rather have trained, retired, concealed carry military police 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.760 there or not? I'll take them being there. I'd rather 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:59.480 increase my odds of surviving. It's a simple, simple proposition 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.600 when you really think about it. If you were in 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:07.240 any type of building that has an active shooter, would 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:14.719 you rather know that there are trained professionals, retired military, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.160 retired police in the building with a concealed carry permit 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.200 and a weapon? I think the answer for everybody. Yeah, 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.240 I think. So what about if somebody broke into your house? 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.960 Would you be glad you had trained, took, taken the 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.120 time and trained to use a firearm or not. There's 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.200 another example. Uh, this is in Colorado two thousand and seven. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:39.480 Former cop volunteer security worker Genie assum As her name, 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.760 saved the day at New Life Church in Colorado Springs. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.480 Thousands of people were exiting from mass that day. As 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.360 a shooter Matthew Murphy open fire. Anyway, she ran towards 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.720 the line of fire, killing the shooters, saving countless lives. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.000 Have you ever noticed the media doesn't ever talk about 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.880 these instances? California, two thousand and one, a student charl 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.960 Andy Williams shot and killed two of his classmates, wounded 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.040 thirteen others before being subdued and held a gunpoint by 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.200 an off duty police officer who was bringing his daughter 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.520 to school. I bet you didn't hear about that case either. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.360 Or in April, the Seen and Uber driver that had 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.520 a concealed carry permit he had to shoot and wound 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.920 a gunman who had opened fire in a crowd and 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.080 of people in Chicago's Logan Square. I never heard that 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.600 case until I looked it up today. Or an usher 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.000 in Tennessee at a church used his personal firearm to 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.720 subdue a mass gunman September seventeen, would already killed one 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.480 woman in the church's parking lot and injured six others inside. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.280 And you have a Fox News report. This is from 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:51.640 Sutherland Springs, Texas, November. Armed civilian using his assault rifle 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.720 to stop Sunday Sunday mass murderer of twenty six church goers. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.600 Stephen Wildford, been heralded as a hero, is a former 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.560 National Rifle Association instructor. Lives next door to the First 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.320 Baptist Church of Southerland Spring, Texas. He grabbed his A 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.280 R fifteen after hearing the gunfire, went over to investigate. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.120 He confront of the shooter, shot him in the leg 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.400 and torso before the guy dropped his weapon and fled 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.960 the scene in his suv. Would you rather have that 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:25.120 person there or not? Pretty simple, fundamental question. Alright, A 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.160 lot to get to today. Um as we bring this 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.600 up with one New Jersey school district voted for armed 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.800 security guards. That's interesting. From New Jersey and Ohio school 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.080 is arming and training teachers to foil massacres. And in 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.720 New York, Comrade de Blasio was ordering metal detectors for schools. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.280 He took him out by the way in alright, to 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.240 the top of the hour. Alright, Olympics. Why did any 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.520 of you like and watch much of the Olympics. I 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.600 was proud of the women's hockey team. They won the 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.920 gold and they beat Canada. That was pretty cool. I've 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.440 seen virtually none of it. You've seen virtually didn't now. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.359 I did want to see the us UH women's hockey 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.760 team finally beat Canada, but it was on it't like 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.159 what MPM and end it two am. Yeah it was 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.480 a shootout. Was because I never sleep, of course I 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.320 saw it, but I thought that was pretty cool anyone 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.439 else uh any of it. But I'm just surprised that 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.439 everyone loves uh curling so much. I guess it's like 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.320 the sport that everyone thinks they can do because it 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.080 doesn't really require much athletic ability. ME tell you something, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.399 if you watch the people that are doing that and 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.320 they move it so quickly to clear the ice to 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.760 get that little extra it's it's an amazing I don't 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.479 know why. It's fascinating. My favorite is ski jumping in 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.640 I have no idea how these kids on those snowboards 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.199 do the stuff that they do and don't die. How 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.720 about them? How about the moguls that they go on? 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.439 Those moguls at high speed? It's it. Listen, it's nuts 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.639 your knees. I can't believe that everyone doesn't need a 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.119 new knee after, you know, five years of banging their 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.479 knees on on those moguls. I never like mobiles moguls 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.119 when I was a big skier. But I'm watching the 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.320 name Shan the kid um Sean White I was. I mean, 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:09.119 it's like he almost has a hang time that defies gravity. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.720 If you watch the way he does a hundred years. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.960 I mean, Sean White was doing this in the nineties. Yeah, 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.080 but the thing is he gets better and better and 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.840 better every single time. And the number of twists and 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.480 flips and whatever the hell they're doing up there, How 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.560 could you be a parent and watch your kid do 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.879 this without going insane. I remember when my kids were 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:34.000 young and we're on a playground, I'd go insane, you know, 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.119 twitching all around because you know, they are fearless, they 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.560 don't know any better, and they're at the top of 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.680 the monkey bars and they're holding on for dear life, 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.040 and then they dropped down. Ah, you're just thinking the 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.920 worst's gonna happen. Nothing usually does, but occasionally it does. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:53.480 And I could not live through my kids doing that 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.400 type of twisting and turning and hanging in the air 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.440 and just imagining what happens if don't land right. I 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:02.760 don't know how they do it. I mean, I guess 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.080 that's why. It's sort of like the old wide world 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.720 of sports, just different sports. The thrill of victory, the 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.439 agony of defeat, the drama of human competition. Remember that 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.399 dating yourself? You know, I'm totally dating myself. Why are 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.520 you so quiet there, miss Linda? Why are you? Well? 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.720 Everybody was having such a nice little, you know, rendezvous 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.000 here on the Era. But you you don't like sports anyway, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.159 you don't even touch down it. I I don't. I 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.399 don't understand any of it. The only sport I like 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.840 is hockey, and I have been watching the hockey and 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.440 I have been watching the Skiers. It's actually really fun 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.160 because I watch it with Liam, and Liam just gets 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.199 the biggest kick out of like the hockey teams and 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.640 we're screaming, we're screaming, and we're maybe he's a hockey player. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.080 Little this morning, this morning we saw a little bit 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:46.320 of Germany and Canada and Canada got spanked and uh 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.600 that was amazing, and like the German like, where's this 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.680 hatred from Canada if you guys coming? Well, they got Trudeau, 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.120 so you know, Trudeau is having a lovely week as well, 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.959 so it's just fun to bash Canada. Well, we just 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.479 had the Australian Prime minister in town with the president. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.520 They did a joint pressure together, right. That has nothing 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.240 to do with my story at all. See, because you're 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.920 about Australia's anybody in there like Australia. I was talking, 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.360 you asked me to talk. I'm telling you my time. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.840 I reclaim my time. I want to reclaiming claiming time. 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.760 Why are you so cranky. I'll pretend to be vaccine 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.920 and you be Minutian, And why don't you just stop 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:27.040 being cranky. I'm reclaiming my time. I'm reclaiming my time. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.879 Vaccine Waters doesn't have that thick New York accident. My 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.600 mine is so much better. Okay, well what would you 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.440 like to say? I just thought it was so it's 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.000 it's exciting, like when you see these big tough like 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.480 you know, these manly men's, you know, they're skating around, 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.199 they're beating the crap out of each other. And then 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.160 they went and they all start crying. And so Liam 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.880 Liam this morning is like they're all crying and Liam goes, oh, 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.840 he got an auchi. He's crying. I said, no, he 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.679 didn't get an auchy. He got a gold medal. And 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.480 he goes, gold medal Auchie, Mommy, I said no, no, 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:01.040 it was just dying left. You don't It is amazing though, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:06.120 um think of what was the swimmer's name, the guy 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.360 that won all the gold medals recently? What Michael Phelps 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.160 Michael Phelps or going back years I'll date myself marks 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.600 fits back in the day and uh, you know remember 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.120 diving Greg lugainis how good he was. And I don't 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.360 get Lindsay Van. I know she didn't have a good 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.400 year this year, and I know people are mad at 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.960 her because she said I'm about going to the White 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.600 House if I win and all that nonsense. But you 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:33.639 think about you spend all these years training and unless 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.600 it's a sport that somebody really cares about, and maybe 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.520 you have one shot at it one and that's even 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.160 if you get to the finals. You get one shot 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.080 at the gold and then maybe you'll get the Wheaties 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.720 box cover or some type of endorsement deal. But then 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.359 after the Olympics, what do you do next? I know 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.560 a lot of people start training again and prepare for 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.879 the next four years, but you're literally talking about minutes 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.440 in your life in most cases and most of these sports, 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.600 and it's not a lot of time. In the amount 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:04.080 of effort and energy and training and dedication that goes 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.800 into it. It's phenomenal that they want to do all 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:09.880 of that, and and the other thing. I only other 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.119 question I am when did Norway become the big medals winner? 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.720 What happened to the US this year when they're saying 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.879 that the US isn't so hot this year? Well, obviously, 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:21.639
